CCTV captured the terrifying moment a man fell into a huge vat of porridge and struggled to get out despite the efforts of bystanders.

On Friday 29 July, the man, named as Muthukumar and one of those cooking the porridge, appeared unsteady on his feet. He appears to rest on the edge of the boiling pot to steady himself, before falling in.

Unable to lift the large man out of the vat, particularly as he is covered in the hot liquid, the man struggles in agony.

Eventually, they drag him out by his ankles, tipping the huge pot over as they do. After which he gets up only to endure another agonising fall as he slips in the liquid.

He was admitted in Madurai Rajaji Hospital with, reportedly, 65% burns. He died of his injuries on 2 August.

The porridge was being cooked as part of the Aadi Velli festival, the most important in Tamil Nadu.

During Aadi Velli, especially in the Pazhanganatham area around Mariamman temple, porridge is cooked in large vats and and served to the public in honour of Goddess Amman

A bridge with a span of 533 meters, built over 60 years ago, collapsed between the states of Maranhão and Tocantins on Sunday, the 22nd (2024). According to the Federal Highway Police, three trucks that were on the structure fell into the waters of the Tocantins River. At least one person has died.

The bridge collapsing and aftermath:

The Military Police of Tocantins confirmed the death of a 25-year-old woman, a resident of Aguiarnópolis. Additionally, a 36-year-old man was found alive and taken by bystanders to the hospital in Estreito (MA) with a leg fracture. So far, 8 adults and 2 children remain missing.

People being rescued:

At the beginning of Sunday evening, the search efforts related to the bridge accident were temporarily suspended. Divers from the Fire Department identified that two of the three trucks that fell into the river were loaded with sulfuric acid—a hazardous material. "Considering the risks associated with handling and being in proximity to these materials, the suspension of the search was determined until specialized teams arrive at the site.

Location: 520-135, Wolgot-dong, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do (경기도 시흥시 월곶동 520-135번지)

• Accident Overview -

a. On April 30, 2024, at the bridge construction site in Siheung-si, Gyeonggi Province (Wolgok Overpass, six-lane road), the installation of SS girder bridges was underway, with the on-site fabrication girders being hoisted using two cranes to position them on the piers (P3-P4).

b. Out of nine girders, eight were successfully installed. While hoisting the ninth girder (G1), it was supported by the crane wire rope, but the lower part of the girder at the starting point (P3) tilted, leading to two scaffold workers adjusting the temporary screw jack's support position and height. However, the girder tilted further, causing it to break at the center and move outward from the bridge.

c. The broken girder's crane support area rotated inward, colliding with the adjacent completed girder (the eighth one). This caused a chain reaction, leading to the collapse of the remaining eight girders due to overturning and lateral buckling.

• Damage Status -

a. The cranes used for the girder installation during the accident (700-ton and 500-ton cranes) were the same ones used on December 16, 2023, for the installation between P4 and P5. On the day of the accident, these cranes were deployed again with the same operators. A total of six workers were involved in the task, all contracted through a subcontractor, OOOO Co., with a contract for daily labor. The reissued labor contracts after the original contracts expired on December 31, 2023, were not confirmed. Some workers were newly assigned to the site on the accident day. On the P4 side of the 500-ton crane, one scaffold worker and one welder, along with one scaffold worker on an aerial work platform (fatal fall), were located. On the P3 side, two scaffold workers and one welder (injured by a fall) were positioned.

b. The workers on the bridge deck sustained one fatality and one injury, while four workers on the ground below the bridge were injured by debris from the falling girder, suffering relatively minor secondary injuries. One external person was injured due to a sudden stop while driving through a construction detour.

c. Human damage: 1 fatality (worker), 6 injuries (5 workers, 1 external person).

d. Material damage: 9 SS girders (PSC girders) collapsed, 18 bridge bearings damaged, some pier damage, 500-ton crane beam broken.

1) The PSC girder production and construction method is patented (SS Girder, Steel Strengthened Girder). This method involves installing protruding steel on the I-shaped concrete upper flange, and applying compressive stress through the tension and anchoring of PS steel, which increases the lower flange concrete width while reducing the upper flange concrete width.

2) The girders in the basic section (P1-P3) are 44.25 meters long, 2.5 meters high, and weigh 136 tons each. The girders in the accident section (P3-P4) are 54.9 meters long, 2.5 meters high, and weigh 166 tons each.

3) The crane on the starting point (P3) is a 700-ton crane with a rated load of 113.7 tons and a lifting capacity of 86.6 tons. The wire rope used is Φ46mm, with four strands (two per hook), a breaking load of 158 tons, a hook angle of 85 degrees, a load factor of 1.01, and a safety factor of 6.98.

The Crash :

On January 18, 1991, during the training descent of the Lauberhorn, he fell at more than 100 km/h in the last S, the fastest of the season. Instead of sliding against the nets as he should have done, his skis stuck into the base of the nets and impaled the skier. The young Austrian is torn apart by his spatula at the level of the pelvis then slips, spreading a trail of blood which can easily be seen in the images Emergency airlifted to Interlaken hospital in a deep coma, he lost several liters of blood on the track. Despite six hours of surgery to stop the bleeding and treat the damage, Reinstadler died in the night at 12:43 am from severe blood loss in the pelvic region.
