It is, of course, possible, that some yoyo left water in the steel furnace, but let's let them worry about the alternative.

It is not known if the factory has any connection with Iran’s nuclear facilities.

I would be surprised if it wasn't connected in some way. Why else were foreign nationals on site?

Iran may not yet have discovered the importance of ESD devices......

(Electro-Static Discharge devices prevent the build up of static electricity from creating SPARKS)

It does happen...there used to be a great video on YouTube of a charge of scrap steel (that had snow and ice in it from outside storage) being dropped into an electric furnace. The frozen stuff flashed into live steam and exploded very nicely, with lots of molten steel droplets flying, before the charge finished hitting the furnace floor.

Quite a show...but not enough to kill seven people (unless they didn’t have the sense to get off the mill floor during the charge).
