Steam locomotive boilers operate under extreme conditions with water heated to 386°F under 300 pounds of pressure, making them inherently dangerous; a single failed valve or moment of low water can cause catastrophic explosions with enough force to launch the boiler hundreds of feet into the air, as demonstrated by a 1912 San Antonio incident where a 16,000-pound steel piece was launched 1,200 feet through the air.

Every steam locomotive running today is an explosion that hasn't happened yet.
Inside that boiler, water is heated to 386° [music] under 300 lb of pressure. One failed valve or one moment of low water and the boiler explodes with enough force to launch itself hundreds of feet through the air. Here's what nobody told you. In 1912, a boiler explosion in [music] San Antonio launched a 16,000 lb piece of steel 1,200 ft through the air.
