Employee killed by shrapnel from furnace blast

Employee #1, the blast furnace foreman, was supervising the blasting of a blast furnace. A 2 in. pipe was driven down into the furnace from the top feed floor. After the pipe was cooled with water, a stick of dynamite and a blasting cap were inserted into the pipe.
