chimney

A sleeping 3-year-old boy died after being struck by a collapsing chimney in the Landers earthquake.

Whether it was a serious crash, chimney fire or a cow trapped in a pond, when their pager went off, they were first on the scene.

He described it as a bioethanol fireplace that does not need a chimney flue, where liquid is poured on to a cotton gauze to create a "candle effect".

Greenpeace said eight activists had scaled two of the chimney stacks at Staythorpe Power Station near Newark in a protest over the role gas plays in setting electricity prices.

A massive bolt struck the metal chimney, raced down the pipe and tore into MacLeod’s right shoulder.
