Apparently gas rises from the pit and can knock you out if you inhale enough.
Also what I have known to happen is people who are not living on the farm, unfortunately kids mostly, don’t realise it’s a pit. Often if it’s very full and can even look like earth or concrete or whatever in shades etc and people have just walked in. One case when I was small of a guy driving a tractor into it, was a contractor helping with silage I think, did not know the farm. He got out lucky enough.
It’s kids I have only heard of dying in them, it’s truly awful, the farm owners never get over it, as obviously neither do any other family affected. Most farms now have big concrete walls around them though with restricted access.
When 3 die like this one has to assume fumes played a major role.
Truly awful story. An excellent player who most assumed would play for Ireland eventually. I think it was the opening game in the Aviva where he lit the place up. Anyway, this tragedy is bigger than just him - terrible
for any family to lose multiple members like that. RIP.
Pretty much without doubt. He looked to have done a very good job captaining Irish under twenties and I always thought he’d probably go on to do same at senior level.
Lovely touch from the Leinster fans who after a minutes silence in the memory of Nevin Spence, bang out a chorus of “stand up for the Ulster men”. Classy stuff.
Ulster putting in an absolute exhibition against Cardiff, they lead 34-12 away from home, Tommy Bowe going over twice. They look a real threat to everyone in Europe this year. Some team in fairness.
Nick Williams has slimmed down a lot.
+1. Early days yet but another hugely impressive showing. Henderson and Jackson particularly impressive.
That’s what you get when you go to a proper Irish side.
You’re kidding right? I was joking. He’s a fucking whale.
:rolleyes: Went straight over your head. He’s some man to try and haul down.
Connacht have ran in 3 first half tries against the European Champions, they lead 19-6 with conv to come.
He’s a fucking disgrace for a professional athlete.
He’d outsprint you mate.
I’m not a professional athlete you simpleton :rolleyes:
:lol: On a serious note can anyone tell me how Quins are 11 points shorter in the betting than Ulster for the HC?
Leinster are awful here away to Connacht. Connacht lead 22-6 at their ease with Leinster looking a shambles of a side. That cunt Shane Jennings getting a right clamping from the referee as well which is no harm for the blowhard prick.
27-6 now with Connacht getting the bonus. The European Champions have been utter dirt here tonight and Connacht have wiped the floor with them. That Devin Toner is some streak of piss. I like the look of Connacth this season but as usual its all about keeping the first 15 fit.
34-6 now :o
This is an absolute humiliation for the European Champions.
Australia getting the hammering that they deserve here. Unlucky with injuries but they were toothless.
Habana hatrick. SA win 31-8
New Zealand play in Argentina at midnight.
