What makes grain bins/silos particularly dangerous?

190 views

I live in an area where grains are a big part of the agricultural industry and I frequently see story lines like [this one here](https://www.kait8.com/2022/11/22/crews-responding-grain-bin-rescue/). What makes these storage units and/or the grain inside them so dangerous?

people think that since grain is a solid material, they can just stand on top of a bunch of grain and walk on it and stuff. but actually grain is more like quicksand. you jump in and it drags you under and then you suffocate and die.
