61-Year-Old Disney Worker Dies From Falling Into A Vat Of Oil

Mynews13- A 61-year-old man had slipped and fallen into a vat of oil at the facility. The man was emptying oil and grease from a tractor-trailer when he fell, according to deputies.

Another employee tried to pull the man out of the vat but was not able to do so. The man became “overwhelmed” by the fumes and slipped further into the vat.

The man was an employee of Harvest Power, which converts organic waste into clean energy. The company provides service for Reedy Creek Improvement District as well as area hotels and businesses. 

Disney World. The so-called “magical kingdom.” A place where children can experience a strange reality-version of their dreams.* Yet behind the soaring spires of the castles, behind the oversized smiles of prancing mascots, behind the songs and the soundtracks and the enchantment, the cogs of a treacherous work environment churn towards death and bodily. These wheels of inevitable destruction drown out the laughter of kids that drifts down through street grates and along the pipes that keep the lights on, the rides moving, and the dippin’ dots frozen. Nobody sees the workers’ bleed; nobody hears their screams. They took down the “it’s been x days since the last accident” sign years ago; it was too demoralizing to wipe the board clean and start over so often.

The most recent incident involved an elderly man who worked at a clean energy facility. I believe it’s one of those spots that takes the cooking oil from restaurants and converts it into biodiesel? Where you somehow keep the lights on using the scrubbed-out sludge from pots and pans that cook fajitas? I know it doesn’t smell great. Which is why this guy was overwhelmed by the fumes and couldn’t tread grease long enough to be rescued.

Another guy tried to pull him out. Haha fat chance. No way you can get a good hold on a guy swimming in oil. Slippery as a sea cucumber covered in cum. And so it goes…

The PR department at Disney has had their hands full lately, huh? Between the alligator that ate the kid and the flaming demon float, it might be time to rebrand the place “Disney Depths of Hell.”

*Disney World was actually a bad experience for me. I went when I was maybe 5, and I was told I’d get to meet Aladdin and all my favorite Disney characters. Then I met them and it wasn’t the cartoon hero I knew and loved. It’s just some dude who looks nothing like him, wearing the same costume he removed for tips at a bachelorette party in Tampa last night. Mickey and Goofy were even worse. The fuck? Their proportions were preposterous. The cartoon Mickey’s head wasn’t so bulbous and out-of-line with the rest of his fucking body. After that trip, I stopped watching cartoons and started watching The Real World on MTV.
