It's a Dirty Job, But...

Sometimes, bigger isn't better. Too bad employees of Blucor Contracting company had to figure it out the hard way. OSHA has issued the Arizona construction company four citations since last November.

Why? Well, it seems workers have a fascination for misusing heavy equipment to build extremely tall walls of dirt when they're supposed to be breaking ground for construction.

One of Blucor's sites was recently deemed unsafe, and employees were told to stay away from the site until further notice. However, 36-year-old Raymundo Perez-Moreno determined the warning wasn't serious.

They found his body two days ago.

Apparently, the wall he had constructed -- which was approximately 35 feet high and 30 feet wide -- collapsed.

Authorities are uncertain why he returned to the site, but it took them more than six hours to extract him.
