HILL AIRFORCE BASE - A broken 10-inch steam valve, the failure of which cost the lives of three men, was being checked by X-ray machines to see why it failed.
The high-pressure, high-temperature valve exploded in a steam pit in the main aircraft repair hangar. The three equipment repairmen were working in the pit.
When the valve exploded it released steam which enveloped the three men, causing immediate death.
