Ignore H&S At Your Peril

A puzzling accident when first reported now sees some clarity:
Yasir Ali and Muhammad Zafar - pictured here for the first time - died suddenly on Saturday afternoon while removing cargo from an HGV in an overflow car park at Hitchin Football Club in Hertfordshire. A third man who was working with the pair was also seriously injured and is now in hospital where it's understood doctors are contemplating having to amputate one of his arms.

How on earth did such an accident happen? 

Mr Ali, 34, from Luton, and Mr Zafar, 33, from Dunstable, were friends and were both attending the University of Hertfordshire as international students originally from Pakistan.

Ah, it becomes a lot clearer now… I wonder what they were studying?

"Mr Ali was one month away from completing his year long master's in project management" They certainly made a pig's ear of that project . . .

Interesting that they say these guys were "removing" cargo from a lorry - not, you'll notice, "unloading" it. A clue in the wording, perhaps, to what was actually going on?
