Imagine you're sitting there and the floor just drops... You're literally in some deep shit!

Of those who died, many drowned in human excrement or suffocated from the fumes emitted by the decomposing waste, while others were crushed by falling debris.

Just imagine the smell of essentially living in an outhouse.

Even worse can happen. Soldiers used to enter through the shitter in order to open the way for others. Imagine you're taking a dump in the early hours of the morning and then all of a sudden you get stabbed in the asshole by a sword. Conversely imagine youre the guy scaling the wall and you look up and get a log to the dome. That’d take a little pep out of my step.
