I have often heard the old saying "guns don't kill people, people using guns kill people" and that seems correct to me, but I have yet to ever see a forklift accident report in the news that correctly placed the blame.

This week a near disaster was averted in Moorehead City, NC, USA;
from www dot wral dot com /news/local/story/6789902/
"Nine drums filled with an explosive compound were punctured by a forklift..."

Do they really think the forklift got up on it's own free will and ran over to puncture the drum? Did the drum insult the forklift's mother or something?
I just had to vent, thanks.
