MOST DANGEROUS JOBS IN AMERICA

From Associated Content:

Truck Drivers

Trucks drivers have to go through a lot of training before they can actually begin their job as a driver. They need that training because maneuvering something that large is not easy, especially when they are forced to deal with the recklessness of other people on the road. About 70% of truck drivers who crash do so because of someone else getting in their way. Truck drivers are trained to be able to handle situations where they might have to deal with people who are not driving carefully, but they cannot avoid everything. Out of every 100,000 truck drivers, 27 die every year.

Electrical Power line Workers

It can be expected that this job would involve some risks. Workers are at very high points when they are doing their work and often have to position themselves at angles that make it hard for them to keep their balance. Power line workers have to wear special uniforms to keep them from getting shocked, and they also have special equipment that is used to help them keep their balance and stay on the lines, but sometimes these things fail to keep the workers safe. Out of 100,000 electrical power line workers, 34 die on the job every year.

Roofers

Roofers do not have it easy. They have to work on top of roofs which can sometimes be extremely high. While working they have to carry their heavy tools, and walk around, crawl, and climb to get where on the roof they need to go. It can be hard to keep their balance, especially when they have to deal with the wind. Safety gear is not often used because it makes it hard for the workers to move around, but this ultimately is why so many people are hurt/killed doing this every year. Roofers have to deal with numerous risks, from falling off the roof to slipping off the ladder. Out of 100,000 workers, 35 die each year.

Farmers/Ranchers

Most people are surprised to find this on the list of most dangerous jobs, but farmers actually have a lot of risks in their jobs. Farmers have to work with dangerous machinery all day, which can get tiring. Being tired on the job is not a good thing, if someone glances away from the tractor for just a slight second and gets off track, a crash could be the result. Their job also involves chemicals used for their crops and the slightest mistake can be disastrous. They also have to work with animals, this doesn't happen often, but every now and then they are put in danger by an animal who is out of control. For everyone 100,000 workers, 36 die each year.

Refuse Collectors

This job includes people who pick up garbage from construction, trash collectors, machinery operators, and crane operators. People who collect trash are at a great risk for things such as cutting themselves on glass in the trash and being hit by cars while they are collecting the trash. Those who operate machinery are sometimes forced to work in weather that is not exactly nice. The biggest problem that they have is that they are sometimes faced with chemicals and toxic materials. They may be aware that they are coming into contact with something dangerous, but at the same time, they might not be. Out of 100,000 workers 42 die each year.

Steel/Iron Construction Workers

These types of workers have to work at extreme heights, and as you can imagine, that can be very dangerous. Steel/Iron construction workers are the ones that build the frames of buildings and bridges. The majority of deaths occurring on this job, is because people have fallen off where ever they were standing. It is not difficult to fall off, one small step in the wrong direction could end their life. They wear protective gear and they do not work when the weather is dangerous, but there is not much that can be done if they fall off the building. For everyone 100,000 workers, 61 die a year.

Lumberjacks

They have to work with sharp tools and they have to do it quickly. They are often forced to work in conditions that are less than ideal. Working with heavy equipment such as saws and axes is extremely dangerous, even for people who are strong enough to handle it. Lumberjacks cannot make mistakes, if they do, they could lose a part of their body, or even worse, their life. They also have to work in places where they are at risk for things such as large branches and trees falling on them. They have to be careful and everyone else around them has to be careful as well, and sometimes even that isn't enough. Out of 100,000 workers, 81 die every year.

Pilots

This is an expected dangerous job, but most people do not realize that the pilots who have the dangerous jobs are not the ones they see when they go on vacation. The pilots who fly the commercial jets and airplanes are sometimes at risk, but they experience much less danger than those who test and experiment with the newest flight equipment. Crop dusters are also at a great risk, they work for long periods and they can be exposed to chemicals that can harm their health. These people fly low to the ground and can sometimes miss things such as power lines. Helicopter pilots are also exposed to a great deal of danger. Out of 100,000 workers, 88 die each year.

Fishermen

Yes, Fishermen. Commercial fishermen have to deal with very dangerous things on a daily basis. They are on boats and at the mercy of the sea. Weather changes are not uncommon, storms bring huge waves and rain, and this can all hit at once. They also have to manage their equipment, which is often very big, which does not make it easy to handle when the weather becomes a problem. There is no doubt that fishermen have extremely dangerous jobs. Out of every 100,000 workers, 142 die every year.

Cell Phone Tower Workers

This job is dangerous because of the cell phone companies. The cell phone service industry is a huge one, each company is competing against the others to build more towers and to build higher towers so that their service can be accessed everywhere. Companies hire workers to build these towers, and the workers that they hire are often not equipped to do the job properly and be safe at the same time. Workers on the cell phone towers do not know how to keep themselves properly safe and do their job correctly at the same time. For everyone 100,000 workers, 184 die each year.

IRAQ PRESENTS IRAN PROOF OF IRANIAN MEDDLING

Whoot...there it is.

An Iraqi delegation in Iran has confronted Iranian security officials with evidence that Tehran is providing support for Shi'ite militias battling Iraqi government forces, an Iraqi official said on Friday.

"They presented a list of names, training camps and cells linked to Iran," Haidar al-Ibadi, a member of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Dawa party, told Reuters.

"The Iranians did not confess or admit anything. They claim they are not intervening in Iraq and they feel they are being unfairly blamed for everything going on Iraq," he said of the talks, which took place on Thursday.

The U.S. military said this week that "very, very significant" amounts of Iranian weaponry had been found in Basra and Baghdad during the offensive. Some of those arms were made in 2008, a senior U.S. military official said on Friday.

VOICES FROM THE BLOGOSPHERE: OBAMA WTF

Usually, this is the time I reprint an entire article from a guest blogger. In this instance, however, I thought it would be sufficient just to link an incredible collection of Obama lies from the blog Obama WTF. The guy does about the best job I've seen of keeping tabs on Obama. Or, as he likes to say, "debunking Obama". So, check it out. "Obama's Demonstrable Lies: 34 and growing".
