“Collapse”: A couple were celebrating their wedding anniversary in an upscale restaurant. They chose to sit in the atrium, unaware that 18 stories above them, a 320 KG decorative concrete slab on the outside of the building was loose. Bad timing and faulty installation combined when the slab fell and crashed through the glass ceiling, injuring the husband and killing his wife.
“Wrestling Demons”: An amateur wrestler has a chance to make his university’s NCAA wrestling team when a spot opens up in a lower weight class. The only problem – he has to drop 19 pounds in three days. Through a regimen that includes working out in a rubber suit inside a sauna, he drops the pounds but loses his life to massive dehydration in the process.
“Pressure Cooked”: A homemaker decided to preserve some beets and to save time she boiled them in a pressure cooker. Unfortunately, the model she used was old and worn. When the pressure valve stuck, steam built up inside the stovetop unit and the resulting explosion killed her.
