A factory technician was killed by a robot at the Volkswagen plant outside of Kassel, Germany yesterday. Many took to the web to highlight how Skynet is beginning to wake up, and this is the doom of man right now. In what seems to be a coincidence, the person who broke the news online was a woman named Sarah O'Connor.

We're guessing the "O" is there for disguise only. Here are her tweets:

She's since deleted those tweets above, and here's her last tweet of the whole story:

But despite the really sad news of someone dying from an accident:

A robot has killed a contractor at one of Volkswagen’s production plants in Germany, the automaker said Wednesday.

The man died Monday at the plant in Baunatal, about 100 kilometres (62 miles) north of Frankfurt, VW spokesman Heiko Hillwig said.

The 22-year-old was part of a team that was setting up the stationary robot when it grabbed and crushed him against a metal plate, Hillwig said.

He said initial conclusions indicate that human error was to blame, rather than a problem with the robot, which can be programmed to perform various tasks in the assembly process. He said it normally operates within a confined area at the plant, grabbing auto parts and manipulating them

Twitter seems to be having a field day with Sarah Connor.
