Jay, Maine...6.5 hours south west of me. They produce toilet paper and other specialty products. No injuries or deaths, just an impact on 500 employees for a while financially. Isn't the best time for those employees to have this happen but, I know state politicians are acting quickly to support the employees and the business financially.

Back in my boiler days, I did some welding in those boilers.

Back then (late 1990's) they said it was the only boiler of that design that had not blown up yet. Even then, they had no idea why it hadn't.

I am not sure what it was about the design, but it was faulty...
