Two individuals, Nathan Doody and Tyler Memory, both aged 33 and 29 respectively, were performing their regular job duties when they suddenly lost consciousness and fell into a tanker. This unfortunate incident occurred due to the inhalation of harmful fumes emitted from within the tanker. Doody hails from DeRuyter while Memory is from Tully.
According to authorities, one of the individuals tried to retrieve a piece of equipment that had fallen into the tanker at Champion Farms in Clinton. However, he passed out and fell inside the tanker.
According to WKTV, the second man who tried to rescue the first one also lost consciousness and fell into the tanker.
A family in NJ had a terrifying experience when a huge chunk of ice fell from what they believe was a passing plane and crashed right through their home. The incident was so severe that it left a massive hole in the roof and caused significant damage to the walls and furniture. Luckily, no one was injured in the incident, but the family is understandably shaken by the ordeal. They are now calling on authorities to investigate and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
The sequence of events leading to the first man’s fall remains unclear.
According to Assistant Chief Joe Nemier, Memory had been a member of the Tully Joint Fire Department for 15 years and was a third-generation firefighter. He started his career at a young age, joining the department when he was only 14 years old. This information was reported by LocalSyr.com.
Ten years ago, Doody became a volunteer at the Cuyler Fire Department in Cortland County.
According to Nemier, the two men were previously hired as drivers for manure tankers, and he had personal knowledge of their employment.

According to the National Agricultural Safety Database, toxic gases that can be fatal to both humans and livestock are produced by manure fumes at high concentrations.
One of the most hazardous substances is hydrogen sulfide, which can result in symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, and even loss of consciousness.
Manure pits can be deadly at high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide. Inhaling just one or two breaths of this gas can be fatal.
