Tokyo: A Japanese plant worker has died after 13 tonnes of molten metal were tipped all over him, police said on Monday.
Kazuki Tada, 23, was working on Saturday morning beneath a huge bucket containing an alloy that had been heated to around 1,300 degrees Celsius (2,400 Fahrenheit) at a Nippon Denko plant in southwestern Japan.
The bucket, which was suspended in mid air, overbalanced, pouring the molten metal on Tada, police said.
