Worker jumps into vat of acid to save colleague

The Associated Press

CLIFTON, N.J. ? Fire officials say a roofing company employee jumped into a vat of nitric acid to save a co-worker who fell 40 feet through a roof and into the tank.

Clifton Fire Chief Vince Colavitti tells The Record of Woodland Park (http://bit.ly/Jsf7II) the men were part of a crew working at Swepco Tube LLC in Clifton when the accident occurred around 8:40 a.m. Monday.

Relatives say 44-year-old Martin Davis suffered a broken rib, punctured lung, and burns on his legs and side. He's in critical condition.

Colavitti says 51-year-old Rob Nuckols was on the ground floor and jumped into the vat. He was waist-high in acid while he and three others pulled Davis out. Nuckols was treated for burns.

He wins everything. Or he SHOULD win everything. Wow.

Unfortunately the man with the big balls lost his testicles in the accident... :upsidedow :helpme :party-smi

ADG

Few people with heart like that these days.

If it was my dog (the one in my avatar) I'd dive in head first! I'd probably help out the coworker too... probably... :winkwink:

wtf............

this shows humanity isnt dead yet.

What a guy, respect.

Great courage, respect indeed.

i guess he should go to the guys house later tonight...maybe his wife will reward him

Having just been waist deep in acid I don't think she'll have much left to work on :Oh crap

i think his unit is probably sore but still fine

it doesnt dissolve skin on contact....stains it yellowish...and of course burns it if left exposed too long

Most likely they will both be deported next week.

fucking brave

Now THAT's a hero right there...

:D

He earned my respect big time.

at least we're not the only industry with tube problems
