On the one hand, 27-year-old Justin Gilpatrick made a wise decision not to drive home after a night of heavy drinking at a Portland, Oregon bar. His mistake was his choice to curl up in a recycling dumpster to sleep off the booze. Waste Management crews emptied the contents of the dumpster-- including Mr. Gilpatrick --into a compactor truck at around 1 a.m. on Friday. The truck driver drove for about a quarter of a mile and compacted his load twice before hearing Gilpatrick's terrified screams. Gilpatrick survived largely because the truck was relatively empty which worked to his advantage. So our boy was shaken but okay and taken to the hospital for only minor injuries. Waste management spokeswoman Jackie Lang commended the truck driver for handling the situation well and said, "This is a well-trained driver doing his job. He heard something unusual and immediately pulled over and shut down all of the moving parts in the truck." Meanwhile Gilpatrcik wrote on his Facebook page, "I have not had a drink in years and the one time I do this is what happens. I will never drink again." (Daily Mail)
