>Michele Dufault, a 22-year-old physics and astronomy major from Scituate, Massachusetts, was asphyxiated after her hair caught in a lathe in a Sterling Chemistry Laboratory machine shop, where she was working by herself in violation of the existing safety rules.

Hmmm. I was positive that at the time the report came out, they said that she was actually one of the people assigned to monitor machine shop users for safety issues. Maybe that got confused with her taking the advanced safety classes.
In any case, a tragic situation.
To me the wonder is that you remember the details you do, 15 years after the fact!
