      I mean around the same period of history the explosion of steamboat boilers (which tended to turn the entire boat into mist) were considered to be completely unpredictable acts of god (it was always lack of maintenance) so… kinda yeh.

        Can you tell us more about the steamboat boilers pls? How often did they explode, were there any famous incidents, and why did they explode?

            That was really interesting! Thanks for sharing. The part that got me the most was the experience of the Civil War soldiers. They had it terrible.
