"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.

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?
(sad sarcasm)

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”.

The hook latch on the ladle is intact and it looks like the crane hook is on the floor with the cables laying towards it.

It looks like the hoist brake failed allowing the hook and ladle to drop all the way down.

Poor design.

Sorry, but this didn’t happen. It has to be a bunch of lies because Rosie O’Donnell said that fire can’t melt steel.

I remember hearing of a similar accident about 30 years ago in Mexico.

It’s terrible no matter how you look at it.

Is this the factory owned by Richard Blum and his wife Diane Feinstein?

What a catastrophe.

"I just ran, if I had hesitated for a moment, even to turn and look, then I might not have made it out of there alive."

Sometimes you just have to literally " run for your life ".
