Hard for the lungs to find any oxygen in the presence of that much cement dust.

Bad example of not panicking. The driver started to run one way then changed his mind twice. Had he taken off for the open area he started for he'd have been fine. After years of being around dangerous situations you learn to run through your choices for escape in your mind over and over. Not saying you won't still make a bad decision but the likelihood is much lower if you make some sort of plan. Never assume everything is going to go exactly as planned.

A lung full of cement dust could linger on and on and eventually kill you.
Awful way to go.
I'm wondering if the driver was okay after running around in circles.

A lung full of cement dust could linger on and on and eventually kill you...

(So could a half-ton of the stuff — landing on top of your chest.)
