[zlftyvld] CSB parody

the US Chemical Safety Board's YouTube videos featuring 3D animations of industrial accidents are quite entertaining.  create parody videos in similar style of imaginary fictional accidents, because 3D animation is not too difficult these days.

consult with chemical engineers to get the science right.  or not: invent your own science to make things entertaining.

while it would be easy to invent accidents causing huge loss of life (a large fire under the right weather conditions burning down a city), perhaps the running gag is that the amount of death is always "second only to the Bhopal disaster of 1984".

inspired by an episode that started with a plant that made metal powders, but, despite that initial tease, the accident did not involve a thermite reaction, only a "regular" explosion and fire.
