Hey there, time traveller!

An equipment dealer will pay nearly $100,000 after one of its employees was killed at the Brandon Home Depot in 2008, Winnipeg media is reporting.
Craig Turner was changing the oil on a forklift when it fell on him, pinning him underneath.
Toromont CAT pleaded guilty in court to failing to provide an employee with safe equipment. Turner was reportedly working without wheel chocks and without the right wrench for the job.
Staff at Home Depot managed to free Turner after the forklift fell on him, and they performed CPR, but he later died at hospital.
Divorced, he was survived by two children, aged five and three when he was killed.
Toromont will pay $20,000 in trust for those children, as well as $75,000 in fines.
