I read it, but I can't say I enjoyed it. I worked on a US Navy ship in the early 1970s, with 1200 psi 975 degree superheated steam. A couple years before I came aboard, that ship had suffered a boiler explosion, killing the four men on watch in the after fireroom. This article was too familiar.

Same thing.

As a trainee I was helping a crew supervise a power plant in charge of providing superheated steam to a large nuclear facility.

There was a bronze plaque on the ground in one of the technical room where some guys had been cooked alive.

Superheated steam and boilers scare the hell out of me.

The twitter account @swiftonsecurity linked me to these videos once and I've been watching every single one of them ever since. It's very interesting to see how a set of complex systems can disastrously fail because of a small mistake two days earlier or because of some basic human error that anyone could make.

We've almost come to full scale nuclear war, I think more than once, due to failure of singular computer chips in a known failure state.

Functioning modern society/things in general just working (for those of us living in developed countries) is incredibly fragile and regulations are often still taken completely for granted.
