Just north of my hometown of Piqua, Ohio is a large, concrete bridge at the edge of Sidney, Ohio. The bridge was constructed in the early part of the century and the lack of modern mechanisms made the construction very labor-intensive and expensive.
One day, while working under the hot sun a worker atop the rigging lost his footing and fell into the concrete which had just been poured into the forms to create the pillars of the bridge.
There was no chance the man would survive and to destroy the bridge to recover the body would have cost a large fortune. Instead, the contruction company paid the widow a small fortune to allow his remains to stay inside the bridge, where they still are to this very day.
Unfortunately, I've heard this about bridges all over the country, which makes me believe that there are many clumsy construction workers.
