An online video shows two workers who were placing materials under a hydraulic press. The worker who controlled the machine started the engine while the victim was bending down to fix the materials. The victim was not aware that the machine was going down, and failed to get out in time. He was compressed to death straight away.

The video created a buzz on social media. Some web-users said the worker who controlled the engine is cold-blooded. Some of the comments include: ¨He is totally cold-blooded. How can he pull the dead body out in such a calm way?〃, ¨The colleague was unusually calm that it became so weird〃, ¨I felt it was intentional. How can the guy be so calm after someone's death?〃

The video did not disclose where the accident took place and none of the media in the mainland had ever reported the incident. Many web-users questioned the authenticity of it.
However, no matter it is true or not, most of them emphasized the importance of handling machines with caution and following instructions strictly. One of them said the majority of industrial accidents indeed happen like this in reality.
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — A bus carrying about 50 people plunged into a major river in central Bangladesh as it was driving onto a ferry, leaving at least 26 people dead, authorities said Thursday.
The bus plunged into the Padma River on Wednesday afternoon in Rajbari district, about 84 kilometers (52 miles) from the capital, Dhaka, said fire official Dewan Sohel Rana.
Sultana Akhter, local top government administrator, said that at least 26 people were killed in the accident. She said that authorities were handing over the bodies to their families on Thursday.
The bus was traveling to the capital from the southwestern district of Kushtia as people return to work after the Islamic festival of Eid al-Fitr.
Rana said many of the passengers swam to safety after the accident but others got trapped.
A rescue vessel joined the operation late Wednesday and lifted the bus, he said, and rescuers worked overnight to recover bodies. Strong currents and rains disrupted the rescue operations overnight, he said.
It was not clear if there was still anyone missing.
Eleven women and five children were among the dead, according to the Fire Service and Civil Defense Department.
Thousands of people die each year in road accidents in Bangladesh.
