An engineering professor is turning to his students to design safer clothing donation bins after a series of deaths caused by people getting trapped inside them. A 34-year-old man was found dead on Sunday, stuck part way in the opening of a donation bin in West Vancouver, B.C. Donation bins around British Columbia are being pulled off the streets following the latest death. Vancouver Fire Rescue's Jonathan Gormick explains how the bin's design can be inescapable. The first-year engineering students are tasked with coming up with a conceptual design, which will then be handed to fourth-year students next year to turn into a full-size prototype.
