Man Died Trapped Inside Dinosaur Statue In Spain While Trying To Retrieve Dropped Phone: Police
KEY POINTS
His body was discovered Saturday afternoon
A man and his son noticed foul smell emanating from the statue
The man also saw a human body through a crack in the statue
The police are awaiting an autopsy report to determine the exact cause of death
Spanish police are investigating the death of a 39-year-old man whose body was found inside a dinosaur statue hours after he was reported missing.
The officials were alerted Saturday after a man and his son noticed something inside the statue in the Santa Coloma de Gramenet suburbs of Barcelona in Spain.
Control-room alerts repeatedly rang out at Florida Power and Light s Turkey Point nuclear plant near Homestead as a reactor underwent three unplanned shutdowns during a four-day period this past August. FPL struggled to get the reactor back online; at one point inexperienced operators ramped up the power rate so quickly that a safety system kicked in and killed the process.
A special inspection by the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has since blamed the shutdowns on faulty equipment and lapses in training. (The NRC s inspection report is embedded at the bottom of this story.)
Though the nuclear power plant averted disaster, industry watchdogs question why so many things went wrong at Turkey Point in such a short span of time and whether the feds let FPL off with a slap on the wrist.
