I saw my share of gruesome industrial accidents, some fatal, when I was working as a field engineer in all kinds of process industries... power, drilling, refining, chem, pulp and paper, etc. I was personally involved in a bad accident where someone was killed. It was a miracle that I survived it with no serious injuries. That was sort of a wake-up call for me but it wasn't the reason I got out of that business and made a radical career change. The truth is, it just wasn't fun anymore. I also knew that years of being around toxic chemicals shorten your life.
