Robot kills man no really

Postby Gig em Aggies » Wed Jul 01, 2015 8:23 pm

http://www.thespreadit.com/robot-kills-man-at-volkswagen-plant-in-germany-company-blames-human-error-60336/

In Germany a 22 year old man died on his way to the hospital after he was crushed against a metal plate by a robot he was installing at a Volkswagen Plant. The Company is placing blame upon the man for his death since he made the choice to get into a protective cage with the robot which grabbed him and then crushed him.


As I read the story I found it odd that people related this to Terminator because a reporters name was Sarah O Conner and upon hearing the ladies name some thought it was a hoax.

So NS what y'all thinking?
“One of the serious problems of planning against Aggie doctrine is that the Aggies do not read their manuals nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.”
“The reason that the Aggies does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the Aggies practices chaos on a daily basis.”

THE. HUMANS. ARE. OVER. THERE.

I. AM. DEFINITELY. NOT. ONE. OF. THEM.
I believe that madness can find more madness, and that every ounce of madness has a spark of truth. And truth, as you know, has a way of depressing people who don't want to find it.

No one is 100% honest... We all keep 20% of the truth from the world, to protect ourselves & sometimes others.

I think it's sad that all of these stupid people are ignoring the fact that someone died...

And everyone is making his death a joke....

But who cares about one lone German man right? He probably never contributed to society! His family will be better off without him!

Makes me sick....

Of course its a tragedy and being a German in Germany this does hit close to home. But I can still make light of the situation which is a recorded way of dealing with death. At least for me that is the case.

The police are investigating now, everyone outside of the company is very skeptical that it was just "human error", I've got money on negligence on part of the company.
