This happened at work the other day

A lime truck located at Nucor Yamato was off loading lime into the silo, when the relief valve was clogged, causing pressure to build up in the tank until the truck blew up. Fortunately the only injury the truck driver sustained was a broken arm.

You work at Nuc? We receive steel from you guys all the time. Basically any job bigger than 50 or 60 tons we use NYS Steel. Anything smaller and we order it from the various steel warehouses around Pittsburgh or Baltimore.
