Machines Have Killed A Lot Of People
Although all of these wonderful inventions have helped the human race to become what we are today (although arguably that isn’t a good thing) those large washing machines, trains, planes and other machines seem to have caused a fair few accidents over the years.
The washing machine has actually killed a lot of people and is not osmething that first comes into the head when you think of machines that kill people. There have been so many times in which a cat or dog has managed to find its way into the machine, then of course it gets switched on and the inevitable happens.
The animal drowns when the washing machine fills up and starts spinning. Some have been found afterwards to be fine though. The same can actually happen to small children as they sometimes think it is funny to crawl inside of them. Many people think it would be a funny thing to do so try it out, they then either die or nearly suffer a death. The best thing to do is not let your kids near that commercial washing machine or any commercial laundry equipment while you are using it.
Transport is also a very dangerous thing, being machines themselves they are resposible for a lot of deaths. Although plane crashes are very rare and the figure of death by plane accident is 9 million to 1.
However when it comes to the automobile the figure is not so low. Automobile crashes has taken over 17 million lives altogether. This is actually the entite population of Ireland being killed nearly three times.
Train collisions are also quite rare with the majority of the deaths here caused by people commiting suicide rather than anything else.
Many of these machines have been used to help people rather than annoy them but many people have also died because of them.
