Machines Are Deadly
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.
The washing machine is a surprising one on this list as although it helps millions with the housework it has become something to be feared of for 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.
The animal will then drown when it begins to fill up. Some have been found afterwards to be fine though. Small children also tend to climb inside these machines as a bit of an adventure and meet the same fate as the animals do. 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.
Transport is also a very dangerous thing, being machines themselves they are resposible for a lot of deaths. Although plane crashes are very rare and the figure of death by plane accident 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 is actually the entite population of Ireland being killed nearly three times.
Train collisions are very rare indeed with most of the deaths caused by this being from suicide rather than an actual collision.
It would seem that it is not the machines that do this to the people but the people that do it to themselves by using the machines.
