This was a power plant accident after an outage at Jeffrey Energy Center.

AFAIK, a PRV that they had rebuilt blew open, venting superheated steam as they were bringing that unit online. The steam is usually piped away, but the PRV and flange/piping turned into shrapnel.

They were losing a lot of pressure, so they sent 2 dudes up an elevator to see what the issue was. Those 2 guys were basically cooked inside that elevator when the door opened.
