Six Crushed Under 10 Tons of Coffee Beans

Six Hondurans were killed when a wall in a warehouse gave way.

The men were seasonal workers during the harvest season in a country which is the second biggest coffee exporter in Central America. According to officials, when the wall gave, it caused the overhead storeroom to collapse. Ten tons of the coffee beans dropped down on the men and buried them. One man who was inside the building at the time said he heard someone shout that the wall was collapsing. "I ran, and I saved myself," he said, noting it was a miracle he did not get crushed to death with the others. Rescuers have managed to recover five of the bodies and have one more to go. Other workers were injured in the collapse as well. Anytime you are buried alive it is a frightening scenario.
