Do you guys think this is just click bait?

You know, trolling for web hits and trying to reel in the gullible?

LOS ANGELES --
Bumble Bee Foods and two employees were charged Monday by Los Angeles prosecutors with violating safety regulations in the death of a worker who was cooked in an industrial oven with tons of tuna.

Jose Melena was performing maintenance in a 35-foot-long oven at the company's Santa Fe Springs plant in October 2012 when co-workers loaded it with 12,000 pounds of canned tuna and turned it on.

Temperatures reached 270 degrees during a two-hour process to cook and sterilize the tuna. The body of Melena, 62, was found when the oven was opened.

The company, its plant Operations Director Angel Rodriguez and former safety manager Saul Florez were each charged with three counts of violating Occupational Safety & Health Administration rules that caused a death.

On the other hand, if it is true, it seems awfully fishy. I wonder if he was the sole victim? I bet the family feels crappie.

Do you think they still sold the tuna?

Walley think it was a tragic accident, it was most certainly avoidable. Just a sad tail anyway you slice it.

Not as tuna. Hot dogs, yes.

I've heard of a fly in the soup, but never an old lady in the tuna.

Yum! Old lady tuna!

There's a Sesame Street act in there somewhere.

Sir, there's a gray hair in my soup.

Oh, that's just Melena.

Holy mackerel, look for Bumble Bee stock prices to flounder. You would think their safety people would have a perch to oversee operations and control safety. It's bullheaded people like that cost other companies millions in insurance premiums.

They probably had to mark it down if they sold it. Most prefer white tuna over the off white version.

You're trying to hard to be punny!

No, but I'm familiar with wet dreams from Sofia Vergara

It's obviously a lock out/ tag out issue and I could argue a permit required confined space.


Throw the book at them!

Oooh, Swag droppin' industry knowledge on us.

Preach on, brotha.

Not sure if it's click bait but it's surely a whale of a tale. Could also be taken as an instructional on how to make fish tacos.

1. Cook Tuna
2. Add a little Mexican

I bet he smelt awful when they pulled his body out of the oven.

They did it just for the halibut.

This is all I could think of when I saw it was bumble bee tuna.
