Just got home from US on sunday morning to news that a farmer and his two sons had been killed in a slurry tank accident.His daughter was also critical in hospital. It seems the tanks had been cleared and the family pet dog had got down into what was left, the farmer in his early 50s, went in to save the dog but was over come with poisonous gases, his son went in next and then the youngest one, who had played rugby for Ulster went in to save them both, the daughter also went to help but managed to escape. This is the second such accident in our area inside 4 years, last time is was two brothers both late 20s and early 30s, fit lads but still overcome. And there have been other single cases. I know not many of you do cattle slurry tanks....but if you know anyone that does, make them aware of the danger. It is not the gas that you can smell that kills but the gas that comes from agitating the slurry and is odourless. Sadly another grieving wife and mother.... Sam
