A farmer and 16 of his cattle have died in a freak accident after a “dеаdly dome of air” formed in a Wisconsin farm’s manure holding tank.!!

According to WAOW, a 29-year-old farmer named Michael Biadasz, from Amherst, Wisconsin, died of gas poisoning on his family’s farm after being overcome by fumes of either methane or sulfur oxide. Initially, 13 of the farm’s cattle died as well; later, three more expired, bringing the total to 16 cattle dеаths.

The 29-year-old’s father, Bob Biadasz, co-owner of Biadasz Farms, said that the tragedy was the result of a “perfect storm” of unusual and unexpected weather conditions. When the tank was prepped to be pumped, warm upper air temperatures trapped the gases in a dome of air which then poisoned Michael and the cattle.

Biadasz was reportedly found dеаd when other workers arrived to begin hauling manure away from the tank.

“The family is devastated, absolutely devastated,” Portage County Coroner Scott Rifleman told WAOW.

Rifleman told WSAW that gas poisoning dеаths typically occur in closed areas, making the incident even more surprising. The coroner said that atmospheric pressure prevented the gases from dissipating.

The coroner went on to say that an investigation is underway to determine exactly what caused Biadasz’s dеаth. According to Rifleman, Biadasz had safely emptied the same tank hundreds of times prior to the fatal incident.

The Biadasz family honored Michael by parking a line of tractors and machinery along the road that passes the farm. Among the vehicles parked are a blue tractor, several red trucks, and Michael’s black pickup truck…

“As if there isn’t already enough dаngеr in the lives of farmers, this family had to suffer this freak accident,” one Facebook user commented on the story. “So sad.”

Following the tragic accident, many are calling for tougher regulations to be placed on manure holding tanks to prevent a similar incident in the future. According to All That’s News, the National Agriculture Safety Database says that there should be proper ventilation in areas where animals are stored and that warning signs must be posted nearby.

“In addition to adhering to proper construction and maintenance procedures for liquid manure storage facilities, owners should be encouraged to follow a few precautionary measures to protect both workers and livestock from harmful manure gases,” the NASD writes.

WASW reports that a similar unfortunate fate befell a Virginia family in 2007, when five of its members died as a result of a pipe blockage that caused a fatal buildup of methane gas.

Price is Right’ Contestant Makes History with Incredible Bid

The game show “The Price is Right” may be recalled. In any case, the price was virtually perfect on a recent show! When a competitor made the “best Showcase bid in the history of the show,” host Drew Carey was taken aback.

The competitor, Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada’s Patrice Masse, has advanced all the way to the Showcase Showdown. He put in an incredible $39,500 offer for a prize package that included a brand-new automobile and a trip to Miami.

Everyone held their breath until the moment of truth arrived and the true value of the prize package was disclosed. The host, Drew Carey, was completely stunned. Patrice’s offer was only $1 less than the prize package’s $39,501 value!

Due to his amazing estimate, Patrice was able to win both the prize package and the coveted title of Double Showcase Winner for the program. The criteria state that the winner of both showcases is the competitor who comes closest to the actual value, without exceeding it by $250. This incredible victory will undoubtedly rank among the greatest in game show history!

Patrice, congrats on your fantastic victory! We adore “The Price is Right” even more at times like this.
