(Newser) – "This was a horrible accident" seems an understatement considering how a plant worker died Monday in Pennsylvania. Lycoming County Coroner Charles E. Kiessling Jr. said 35-year-old Jill Greninger fell or was pulled to her death inside a large commercial meat grinder she was operating at Economy Locker Storage Co. in Pennsdale around 11:40am, per PennLive and the Williamsport Sun-Gazette. Greninger, who died instantly of massive trauma, was standing on a rolling staircase "as she was perhaps reaching for something in the grinder, which was about 6 feet off the ground," Kiessling said. A fellow employee heard a noise and went to investigate, turning off the machine before calling for help.
This is the first reported death at the facility, which has been in business since the early 1900s, per WNEP. PennLive describes Economy Locker Storage Co. as a wholesale meat-processing business, with products sold under the brand Country Store. "Everyone is shaken and thinks that this is a tragedy that something like this had to happen to such a young lady," a neighbor tells WNEP. "My heart goes out to everyone who is affected by this." Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigators have been to the scene, where firefighters spent 45 minutes breaking down the meat grinder so Greninger's body could be recovered. (Earlier this year, a worker in Michigan fell into a vat of acid.)
Check your Country Store branded meat products carefully before consuming.
A note to my FRiends: As Freeper Kenny Bunk (May he Rest in Peace) taught me, when you are working on ANY sort of motor or machine, NEVER have a tie, scarf, or loose clothing hanging around, including loose sleeves and shirt-tails.
What that old saying about sausage?
You think they’re going to list Jill Greninger as part of the ingredients? I’m sure they separated this from the rest.
I don’t understand the supervisors who allow workers to rummage around machines like this while they are running.
WRONG THREAD! I was reading and replying to your post on that cassowary that is being auctioned off. Not sure how my comment got posted to this other thread of yours. SORRY.
What a horrible way to go, and for her family to deal with. Praying for them.
Terrible, but far worse is the daily slaughter of children in the womb, not by accident, but INTENTIONALLY.
Also true of shop type tools. Many people have had patches of scalp removed or worse from things like drill presses and belt sanders. Be safe people.
Horrific way to die - there was that poor guy cooked alive in the tuna cannery retort oven a few years ago, no reason for either incident other than human error.
All Righty Then.
I really didn’t think you were really wondering if Jill Greninger tasted like chicken.
lol
newser recycles new. why are we using them?
Classic “wrong thread” post. I am in tears.
My thought was closed casket funeral for sure.
She used both apps, Tinder & Grindr.
RIP.
