ah, just realised wot i wrote. i've only faced the usual industrial
accidents (falling into holds, onto decks, almost crashed the ship a
couple of times, 45 litre drums rolling over me, containers and other
bits dropping past my head, the usual sort of thing, mates of mine
have been less lucky) not actually been *crushed by a container
although it's been close. caused a riot in idia, though.
