Everybody has to die sometime. At least some of us get to in interesting ways.

• In 1995 two pilots and a navigator were flying a warplane in a U.S. Navy training exercise. When another warplane flew up beside them, the three men stripped off their clothes and mooned the other plane, pressing their buttocks against the cockpit glass. But to get their clothes off, they had to remove their oxygen masks. They quickly lost consciousness, and the plane plunged to the ground, killing all three.



• In November 2005, Jimmy Ray George of Easley, South Carolina, died of smoke inhalation when his home caught fire. Oddly, George made it out of the house safely. He wasn't overcome by smoke until he went back inside the burning house to get his cell phone so that he could call 911.



• Frauke Punz and Ulf Lech worked together at a steel mill in Essen, Germany, and were secretly dating. The day their plant was to close for a monthlong summer break, they snuck into an elevator for a romantic liaison. Unaware that Punz and Lech were in the elevator, everybody left for vacation and maintenance shut off the electricity. Their bodies were discoovered a month later. [I found this one scary... To be stuck inside a small cubical box until you die of starvation.]



• Three 18-year-old members of the Ukraine military were ordered to clean a food storage container that was burned 12 feet underground in the city of Charkov.Cabbage had been left in it for weeks, and the fumes were so severe that they overcame and killed the three teenagers as well as the 48-year-old worker who tried to rescue them. [This one's my personal favorite.]

hey, this could be used as an installment to Randomjunk's "how many ways are there to die" thread

The elevator one sucks.
You'd think there'd be a way to crawl out or something.

The cabbage one is funny. Really.

No particular thesis
They tend to pin me down, which is only useful if I care. Hahaha
