First picture you put up was from my hometown in NJ where that explosion occurred in a hospital....I was still young and at the time didn't understand what had happened but I knew it had to be very serious...thanks for sharing...👍
Been fascinated with Boilers and mechanical since I was a kid in grade school. Seeing the gigantic and scary looking fire breathing monster boilers through the mechanical rm window at school I couldn’t help but be intrigued, I wanted to learn everything about them. Fast fwd 40 years I ended up a commercial / industrial electrician. I’ve seen many boiler rooms, some more scary than others. I’m always impressed by those who work on such hulks! It’s always interesting to see how they will routinely rip apart a large boiler for cleaning and repair. Just recently I saw one get stripped right down to its internal heat exchanger core. They are actually re-welding parts of the exchanger. Seems like a lost art! When they take them apart there’s piles of parts all over the place then a couple weeks later it’s somehow all back together and working again.. fascinating!
The simple act of daily visits to the room and keeping it clean is more than housekeeping. I find it keeps you aware of the slightest changes in sight and sound.
Wow! At 1:35 that tank crushed in on itself in a split second! Same thing happens to Subs that go deeper in the ocean than rated for. The only difference is that in the ocean it is caused by excess pressure outside of the vessel.
