      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.

            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.
