This Job Sucks
On Friday, Archie Tyler, 43, a city worker in New York, worked to clear
a clog in the drain of a New York City reservoir basin. Tyler, standing
on the drain in about two or three feet of water, was oblivious to the
consequences of his cleaning efforts. When he finally cleared the debris,
the water rushed down the drain creating an enormous vortex which sucked
Tyler down 200 hundred feet through a 20-inch wide drainage pipe, drowning
him. "It's very similar to what happens when you drain the bathtub," said
Joel Miele, Environmental Protection Commissioner.
