So when did a work shop in the 1800s that was making something other than

How many instances do you want ? If you live in an older city, go
and look in your local records - you're bound to find them. How about
Boston and the infamous Molasses Tsunami ? Or Gateshead, where
molten lead from the roof fire spilt down onto picric acid used for
dyeing, and the resultant lead picrate explosive demolished half of
the quayside.
Which incident has about the same relevance to the issue of woodstoves in
wood shops as does Chernobyl.
Well...after Chernobyl, I did rule out having a Russian made nuclear
reactor in my home wood shop.
