Congrats Miss Spence, you are a very brave soul. We used to have such accidents almost every year here (I live in Canada), they are referred to as "silo deaths". But new farm safety regulations requiring that at least two respirators ("gas mask") be kept within 8 feet of any access point has drastically reduced such fatalities. And to think the dog was likely already gone when they went in there... so sad.

How terrible. I hope she knows she did what she could to save them. So sad for her though.
