My first thought was something like closed area asphyxiation or crushed by forklift.
I visit industrial sites often in my work. Paper mills are the worst for "How the hell is this ancient *** place not killing people. And oh god, that smell."
I don't look at much acronym news to see the sensationalist headlines. See enough of that in the local news.

Hyundai, Kia, ?
Kia is owned by Hyundai.

Do you say Hyundai with two or three syllable?
Around here it is usually three. " Yep, Skeeter got him one of them Hi un die"

Edit:
According to Ford Wiki, you are correct. Kia made them and were sold as Kia Rio, Hyundai Rio and others around the world.
Ford-Wiki..... Who knew? I didn't know it existed until a couple minutes ago.

Yeah, no kidding. It will be interesting to hear the details. My neighbor works for Northrup in West Valley, but I am unsure of which building he works at.
