"It hit a platform car and then started spilling molten steel in the direction of the shift transfer room where they were having their safety meeting. Talk about irony...

Those killed in the accident were burnt beyond recognition, and authorities said they would have to use DNA testing to identify the victims.Yikes! I'm surprised there is anything left to get DNA from. China needs an OSHA and labor unions so we can level the playing field.

"It hit a platform car and then started spilling molten steel in the direction of the shift transfer room where they were having their safety meeting. That was the most tragic moment," said Jiao...Not to mention ironic.

Rather poor plant design at the very least. You never put unprotected people in harm’s way.

26 tonnes of molten steel poured into a meeting room, killing 32 workers. Whoa! Would that it had been Cho instead of these innocents. Maybe it is that way for him now and for eternity.

Shades of Newcor Bump.
They lost a ladle, crane failure and spilled 15 tons on to
the shop floor, which being new was still damp, resultant
steam explosions blew molten steel up through roof, it then fell as solidified chunks ranging in size from baseball to ashcan. This was a new crane, it can still happenl.
Liquid Steel, Most exciting.
Hand me that jet tapper and lets draw some metal.

I hope Psy-Cho will now experience this sensation every day in hell.

What a sad tragedy.
But I’m confused, didn’t Rosie O’Doughnut tell us that “This is the first time in history (on 911) that fire has ever melted steel.”? Wonder how that steel in China got so hot?

That [steel shower onto a meeting] is what normally happens in cases of acute meetingitis. Either that, or a massive sewer backup. “Thou shalt not meetingize too much”.

Not to make light of what happened, but at 2,732 degrees Fahrenheit anyone in the immediate vicinity would probably have died almost instantly, at the very most after just a few seconds. It’s awful what happened, but I think almost all those that died didn’t actually suffer much (something to actually be grateful for, if that is possible).

The accident happened at Qinghe Special Steel Corp, a relatively modern facility in China's former industrial heartland in Liaoning province. Right.

You have a point. It could be much harder for victim's family than victims themselves. My sincere condolence to those perished and their families.
