I don't know about "these days", I think it's been ongoing. In high school, (a long time ago), for debate class the topic was grain elevators. I had to research grain elevators, which I knew nothing about at the time, the safety hazards associated with grain elevators, etc.
I didn't have the internet back then, either, which made it all the more fun to come up with references, stories and facts about grain elevators. But I won that debate and learned a whole lot about grain elevators...and how there are more dangers than I ever imagined.
