This hurts just reading about it. How utterly horrifying.

Ouch...

I’ve watched steel being poured. It is scary just seeing it from a big distance. Can’t imagine this.

It’s a shame. Life is cheap to the Chinese.

That was always G-Man’s favorite way of disposing a corpse. “First, you find a steel mill...”

Punch ‘em out quick. Get ‘em off the clock. Don’t pay ‘em if they ain’t working.

Strangely, I was working at Allen Wood Steel, in swedeland, Pa, back in the 70s, when a similar event occurred, killed many workers at one of the blast furnances who were attempting to work on a leak in the cinder notch.

I had declined the offer to work on that particular rigging crew that night, simply because I knew of the problem.

Metal droplets dance on the skin like water tossed in a hot frying pan. - Where they go there is no flesh left.

I put the blame for the demise of our heavy industries squarely on the unions. - Even then I knew that steel couldn’t survive in this country under the union demands.

And it didn’t.

one should always prepare for a molten steel shower by taking a molten steel bath first.

Yup. and it destroys the nerve ending immediatly. generally at temps like that there is no pain. I have a scar on my knee from when I was a welder. It went to the bone. I never knew it happened till I was showering that night and found the wound
