There is a legendary list very popular in Turkish blogs for years. Some say they are true, some say they are not. I personally think that some of them are really true stories because all mainstream news, tvs had given on their front pages. I remember some of them. I tried my best for correct translation. Sorry for my poor grammar beforehand. Enjoy the death!
1) One worker tried to pass through under a 600 ton press machine by crawling to light his cigaratte in front of a 2450 celcius degrees industrial oven. Place : Karabuk Iron & Steel Factory
2) A person died while he is getting hair cut on a barber salon. The reason is that the barber suddenly turned his neck to left and right thinking that it will give relaxness to the client. Place : Erzurum, Center Barber Salon (I believe it is true, because personally met such barbers who think that this will make the neck better working, dear tourists! keep yourself prepared while you are in local barbers)
3) A fly escaped to one’s stomach through mouth. He tried to kill it with Sheltox insect killer by spraying inside. Place: Istanbul / Sultanbeyli
4) One person tried to take out a stone which was escaped to his shoe and leaned towards a electric post. A passerby villager thought he was being shocked by electricity and tried to help him, then hit him by the head with his oar. Place: Rize / Ardesen / Tunca Village
5) Someone was going happily on the road. A balcony from a building drops on him!! Place : Istanbul / Dudullu
6) He was saved from a traffic accident and while he was being sent to hospital in an ambulance, ambulance took part in another traffic accident. He died this time. Actually, it is very common situation in Turkey. I don’t know about the other countries.
7) A father and his son was working in the same factory on different time tables, one in daytime, one in nighttime. While the father was coming back to home, another was going to the work in their mobylettes. They tried to greet each other by shaking hands and crashed. Both died. Place:Konya/Meram
5 men in a car who were going drunken on the main auto highway called TEM, stopped the car on the right side and began dancing on the road because the song was great in Super FM channel. 3 of them died by crashing cars. Interestingly all died by different car crashes in some time. Place: Adapazari/Hendek
