A 24 year Russian woman of 2 children fell into a vat of molten chocolate at a confectionery factory in Russia and died.
One report said her mobile phone and she leaned into the vat to reach and fell in.
Another said she was pouring flour into the chocolate when she slipped in.
Only her legs were left.
Sounds absolutely horrific.

Where were the Umpa Lumpas when all this was happening? Poor Girl.

Yes it does, don't have much to add by way of discussion really.

Absolutely horrible way to die, and she has two young kids too.

Wonder which is the accurate version of the events? The mobile phone going in, placing in emphasis on her own responsibility, or was she adding ingredients in which case working conditions at the factory need to be looked at? The mobile phone story sounds false, as a cover for bad practices at the factory. What would be the point of reaching for a mangled mobile? The sack of ingredients sounds more plausible and she lost her balance. Awful way to go.

She could have been adding flour in an amateur capacity.

In mother Russia, chocolate eat you.

“She was minced, only her legs were left,” said a local at the sweet factory.

The molten chocolate really seems to be incidental compared to the thrashing blades or whatever else was in there that could mince a person.

Given the mincing, I would have thought it was more of a Reece's pieces chocolate they were going for.

And it happened just before Christmas which makes the whole thing much much worse.

I think they should use the mixture to make chocolate Russian dolls, in her honour.

Death by Chocolate wasn't to be taken literally. Sympathies to her young children and family.

Did the chocolate have to be thrown out?

What a waste.

Jesus lads ease off the jokes ffs. It's not one bit funny what happened to the poor woman. You wouldn't want someone laughing if it was your wife or mother or sister.

Fair point to be honest. I can't imagine the families grief at the moment.

In fairness, the freakish nature of her death combined with the fact that this is After Hours pretty much invites people to make quips. Do you expect 5 to 10 pages of people posting "Thats terrible. RIP"?

Horrible to imagine it.

Some people get such awful deaths.

StewartGriffin

Isn't it strange how geographic or cultural distance effects how we allow ourselves to feel about a tragic event?

If this happened in Leixlip to a young Irish woman half the people on this thread would be banned already.

God forbid if the victim was a semi famous Rugby player. The whole site might be shut down in a fit of indignation.

If it was a Nokia she'd still be alive.

No but there's still a lot to be said for having a bit of decency. Like referring to her as Umpa Lumpa is a bit much now.

Oh Jesus the poor girl. I hope it was quick. It's like something from a horror film. Must be awful for her family to hear how she died.

Well yeah, obviously. The difference is that if it happened in Leixlip there's a good chance that family or friends of the woman would read this thread.

Pretty small odds of the family of this poor woman reading Boards.

Sure. Like David Bowie's family were hitting F5 on his RIP thread here for days. Thats the only reason I didn't make a few "hilarious" comments about his death from cancer.

If it was on the flip of a coin,I'd prefer to meet my end instantly at the end of some yoke full of blades than drown slow in chocolate.Drowning to me is only second to being buried alive.

It's not even the slightest bit strange.


RIP contaminated chocolate.

Yes, that or silence. Half the posts here are sick, unworthy of delinquent schoolboys.

Does it really matter if they are or not?, A young family will be without a mother this Christmas. Maybe if you put a face to the story it may not seem as funny. Link

Only 24 years old. RIP.

Which will be true regardless of whether or not people make horrible jokes.

If you want to do something for the family by way of a donation or similar, I doubt anyone would have anything but respect for that, but in a space where the bereaved won't be affected by it, not laughing and laughing have exactly the same effect: none.

Or we could just be civilised people and not make rubbish quips about a dead woman. A 24 year old dead woman.

I once got some good advice from someone who's partner had just fallen on her head and went into a coma. "Just go out and laugh. At everything. All the time. I'll be back...with a notebook full of coma jokes".* It's good advice. The only trick is it has to apply to the tragedies that happen to you, not just the ones that happen to strangers in Russia.

*The guy who gave me the advice didn't give it personally, it's just something a relatively famous guy said. But this post seems more persuasive if I phrase it this way

What's funny is that it's OK to quip about an individual incident in Russia but no one would joke about Allepo even though it's another geographical tragedy. I'm not immune to the funny side of the quips just saying..

Aleppo, a worn torn city torn apart by superpowers and regional forces all with different ends in mind, with of course the usual thousands of civilians being killed/murdered.


A poor woman falls into a chocolate mixer n Russia & your comparing,If the chocolate incident was not so uncommon it would not be have commented on.

As for some of the jokes, a bit of humor never killed anyone ?

That's a horrific industrial accident. Nothing remotely funny about it.

Falling into a vat of hot and highly sticky liquid would be just a horrible way to go.

It sounds like a case of extremely poor health and safety standards, as such an accident shouldn't really be possible with good design.

We still see similar accidents here on farms with slurry tanks but in general you'd never see something that dangerously setup in a commercial production facility.

RIP

The only thing one can say with slurry gas is you are unconscious and dead before you know it, and there are devices to warn of the gas levels, and everyone involved should know of the dangers. It is warned of very regularly.

This death has everything from a horror/blood/gore movie.
Seems she fell head first into hot molten chocolate with blades that cut her up, and one can imagine her using her hands to try to save herself and what happened there...
It is stomach churning stuff and the people who had to get her remains out much be having nightmares.
