I worked next to a small outfit 15 years ago that melted aluminum into ingots.....
A guy who worked there mistakenly emptied a 55 gallon drum of scrap into the furnace....without checking to see if water collected in the bottom of the drum.
He was blown out of his shoes.....tossed about 75 feet out through a garage door into the parking lot and had 3rd degree burns over 100% of his body....he pretty much looked like a pig at a pig roast...his skin blackened and split like a hot dog too close to the grill fire....
I felt a distinct “thump” when the furnace blew up....kinda like a single clap of thunder....
Industrial accidents can be pretty gruesome.
In a thread on CPR I came across a FReeper who said he had to explain to a state EMT board why he hadn’t started CPR on a guy who was decapitated at his plant. Luckily, he didn’t have to explain it a few months later when a guy got hit with a glob of molten steal and most of his chest was missing.
