In the article by Kiran, it says that the tote was on a forklift and slipped off the forks. He could have been next to it and just in an unlucky spot.

Any word if it was a contractor or a Nutrien employee? I worked there when it was PCS Nitrogen and there were quite a few accidents and injuries on the regular.

Or a telehandler lifting the load. Seems more likely, and easily confused as a "forklift".

My brother just called me about it and said it’s his son best friend who lost his dad. I know the kid personally and feel for him.

Man that sounds like a guy I know that used to be in our unit that got on with Nutrien a month or 2 ago. Hope it’s not, he was a good dude, always had a good attitude

Dude works at a nitrogen plant, goes unresponsive and dies. Whatever, whatever could have happened? (Hint, a dude was just executed with nitrogen this week.)
YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE HOW FAR OFF YOU ARE ON THIS STUPID COMMENT.
Plants like Nutrien produce N which is part of the NPK of fertilizer.
Nitrogen / Phosphate / Potassium
Damn, don't post stupid shite you don't know shite about.

It’s not a nitrogen plant. It’s a plant that uses nitrogen. Big difference.

You obviously don’t know shite from shinola. I’ve worked in that entire complex of chemical plants plus the dock, and I’ve seen things punk assess like yourself can’t even comprehend.

Damn!
My stepdad is a VP Nutrien. He’s currently overseeing an upgrade at their Borger, TX plant. He’s there Monday through Thursday and usually flies back in on Fridays or Thursdays depending on schedule. I’m sure this will be a big topic of discussion I see him this weekend.

So sad. Found out yesterday afternoon. Sick to my stomach. Matt was a good dude. Talked your head off lol but meant well. He just got married too. So damn sad. It was a forklift accident with a tote. RIP

Man this sucks. My company moves a lot of totes around daily, this is fricking awful.

Thanks for the physics lesson. Your scenario is not what happened.
