Yes, a while back I posted a report where a badly designed and installed
water heater exploded on a fishing boat, sinking the vessel. According to
the MAIB calculations, they reckon the cylinder was doing about 500mph when
it exited the hull!

There's still a lot to be said for the power of steam. :-) LOL

I recall from around thirty years ago seeing a training film of electrical
explosions. One of an oil filled HV breaker detonating when it had moisture
contamination of its oil fill and another one showed 132,000 volt grid
busbars lashing about under fault currents with an increasing amplitude
until they touched and exploded in a cloud of vapourised metal. Much more
impressive than the film of an lpg bulk tank in a fire where its safety
valve operated and shot a flame about fifty feet upwards until the tank was
empty.
Both films certainly taught respect for the subjects
Safety with steam boilers has improved over the last thirty years too. You
no longer hear of tubeplates rupturing and the boiler leaping out of the
boilerhouse through the wall into the yard next door like in t'good old days
