Deadly boiler blast cripples Pittsburgh steel mill
A catastrophic explosion at Phillips Nimick steel mill on the Monongahela River corridor caused at least five deaths and eleven serious injuries. Fires, debris, and scalding steam spread through nearby houses and railroad property as rescuers battled the blaze. A list of the killed and injured includes workers and children, with investigators mulling over a possible steam overload or boiler defect as the cause. The mill, near the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad facilities, faced extensive property damage estimated at about two thousand dollars.
