Although all of these wonderful inventions have helped the human race to become what we are today (although arguably that isn’t a good thing) those large washing machines, trains, planes and other machines seem to have caused a fair few accidents over the years.
Although the washing machine wouldnt come into peoples heads first it is actually something that has killed many, many people. There have been many instances in which pets have found themselves inside a washing machine, the washing machine the gets switched on withoutanyone realising it was inside.
Of course the animal then drowns. Many of them have actually been seen afterwards looking very healthy. There are also many small children that try to play games inside the machine and the same can happen to them. There are also the idiotic teenagers that think it might be fun to do it and end up drowning inside. The best thing to do is not let your kids near that commercial washing machine or any commercial laundry equipment while you are using it.
When it comes to machines, trasnport can be another big killer. The actual figure of dying on a plane journey is 9 million to 1.
Car crashes are of course no where near as low as this. It has been said that over 17 million people have died in automobile crashes as a whole. This would be like 3 times the Irish population.
Train collisions are also quite rare with the majority of the deaths here caused by people commiting suicide rather than anything else.
So although all of these machines have been used for the greater good, many people have suffered their deaths from them.
