That grain was slippery, so it was like quick sand, and as your feet and legs started to sink , and you struggled against the grain. You were pulled down by gravity and you pushed the grain up. What he is saying is that there is a sinkhole in the bin, cause by the top grain is stuck together and teenagers work on the top breaking it up slid down into the void. Ropes from the top tied to the top of the bin, and a harness that has mountain climbers gear. That was sorghum and even the mental challenge brother knew that you don’t go in bins filled with sorghum.
The most educational video I've I've is someone filming pigeons eating grain while it's being emptied and it is terrifying how quickly they sink and almost petrify and then dissappear
Thanks for this explanation! Ever since my high school physics class on buoyancy where we learned that larger objects will float above smaller ones, I was confused about how it would be possible to drown in a silo. The air pocket makes a lot of sense. If the little figures are able to jostle about at all (which they aren't because of the weight of the grain) they could float to the top, but likely still have their legs stuck a bit thanks to gravity. Like your whole body will float in water, but are still submerged when you are upright in water.
Surface tension allows even the heaviest weights to float as long as there is a sufficient square-foot-on-the-water-to-weight ratio... not sure how to phrase that so it's understandable. If anyone knows the actual formula...
Grain bins will get what in the industry calls "crust" it happens if the grain gets wet and or moldy. The top surface maybe 3"-6" of the grain will be flat and look like the grain bin is completely full. Even though the grain auger has been outputting grain under the crust is a cavity that can be several feet of just empty space. The crust is almost always not strong enough to support a person. And when you break through it, it will completely engulf a person in about 1 second. In fact grain silo accidents have a 60% mortality rate.
In the late 70s I helped a farmer and I had to shovel the beans to the Alger and even though it was a 5000 bushel bin he had me tied to a rope, no sweep Alger .
Back when he was a kod they made men not lottle lods scared of stuff but yes grain bins is dangerous to play in and i llayed in one a bunch and dad would scold us for it every time and when he showed me a video lf a security camera of a famer falling in his and dieing then i understood
Anyone else google "can you suffocate in" and a corn silo showed up and you thought you knew what it was but you just wanted to double check and then you laughed because someone rlly played in one of these metal things full of corn and then suffocated...
It’s not just playing. Sometimes adults or even kids fall in these while they’re working on them. And they usually die. It can actually be pretty dangerous
Farm kids work. So do the kids who make your shoes. The only kids who don't work is ones you can see in your city. You urbanites didn't want to see it so you exported the child labour somewhere else.
Well that turned suprisingly lethal surprisingly fast

This is a better demonstration than all of the more expensive videos I watched.
I'm here because I was confused on how someone died in grain in the Dressmaker...well...this was the best explanation I could have come across
Apparently its a common farm accident accident that often turns deadly. I came here from a quiet place tho

Wow, that got me right in the pit of my stomach! So sad for anyone who dies in a grain bin.

Wow, truly interesting. Thanks for sharing.
This guy sounds like Forrest Gump
Ok jennny
You mean tom hank?
It seems you missed the important point of the video.

good stuff right here lieutenant dan
I know everything there is to know about shrimp
Great video sir don't mind the ignorant comments, this was a very informative to the point video.
which ignotant comments? Everyone seems very interested in this phenomenon
Thank you for making me feel terrified of grain. I will now never walk near it in my life. 😟

@@parkermaraventano3590 winner for most understandable explanation so far
Thank you for explaining this to me.
That is SO scary 😱
how terrifying

just watched a movie called Silo on hulu and now i’m here.
Jeezus that was quick 😳
should design a tool regularly vibrate tge silo or grains to eliminate the air pockets
someone here after pigeons?
Exactly
That balloon pop was great
Thank you very much.
Thank you Sir👍
My mumma used to tell me " Don't go near a grain dump "
Who's here after watching the dressmaker? :(
Very good animation.
It's not an animation.
@@youtubesucks5080 If u think deeper it is.
I saw the russian grain pigeons video too.
Also dont play alone on a stack of hay bales
Excellent
Excellent.

That's crazy
When I was your age I was working in silos
if it's so dangerous then why was he fine playing in it? something doesn't add up
This kills the gnome
