Crushed by Corn: Trapped in a Grain Bin

Description

A young Iowa farmer ends up in a bizarre and terrifying scenario. When Arick Baker climbs inside a giant storage container full of hundreds of tons of corn, it seems all in a day’s work. But a rapid-fire series of events will see him sink into the mountain of grain, swallowed whole like he’s falling through quicksand. Subsumed and crushed, he is buried alive, barely able to breathe… and heading towards the rotating blades of the container’s machinery… A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins.
