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.

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.
