I'll throw in my disaster story:
I interviewed for a job at a fertilizer company.
It was next door to a Olin factory that makes powder and ammo.
I was told that all of the fertilizer company employees learn advanced fire-fighting techniques.
The fertilizer was an explosive product, but their employees would also be used in the event of a fire at the Olin factory.
As a matter of fact, a few years before I interviewed there, there had been a fire/explosion at the Olin factory.
Four of the fertilizer guys had died fighting the fire.
Oh by the way, when can you start?.........
For some reason, I didn't take that job.
Oh, in my hometown in East Tennessee, a couple of years ago, a large company that did municipal fireworks hired some people to work with the fireworks.
They put several semi-trailers of fireworks in a vacant lot, and set up some tables for the people to work at.
I'm not sure what they were doing. Repackaging the fireworks or something.
Anyway, people near by said they heard what sounded like firecrackers, then whistling noises, then KA-WUMP-RUMBLE-RUMBLE.
All of the people disappeared. I think they may have found a finger or two.
They never did find out what went wrong.
Yeah, I'd like to make my own powder, but I think I won't.
