The general-purpose tank car in this video is a demo of how a tank car
can accidentally implode from steam cleaning. The proposed scenario is
an employee steam-cleans the car inside and then closes it down without
opening the relief valves. With no pressure relief as it cooled, when the
boiling steam inside the car cooled and condensed, the car imploded.
Now Chester, after you steam-clean the car inside, remember to open the
pressure relief valves ...
