worked in the same mill a little as an apprentice electrician and it was a miserable place to be....anyone who did it for long was a helluva man...
Yeah. I was depressed working in that environment. It was mostly the type of people you have to work with.

Company I work for has foundries in the US, Mexico, China and Poland. I got a tour of our foundry in Pennsylvania while at the corporate campus, was lucky enough to be there when they were pouring.
Pouring what? Probably just slag. It looks cool though if you've never seen it. It's red/white hot and shite and you're just dumping it.
I was a ladle crane operator. I flew melted steel around 150 tons at a time in a 100 ton ladle. My crane could lift 325 tons and the J-hooks weighed 12 tons each, with an auxiliary hook with a 75 ton capacity just for dumping shite.
The only times I ever poured steel, was when we had a heat with bad chemistry, so I would have to mix that by pouring into a couple of other heats and an empty ladle. To attempt to save it.
It's not fun to do that. It's a slow and concentrated thing that takes a couple of hours, while you're still trying to keep the melt shop going and the caster casting.
Things can go wrong very easily, and it will be bad.
2 hours at that level of concentration is exhausting.

In the late ‘60s, for two years my old man ran a plant that supplied oxygen to a Steel Plant.
Got paid well.
He said he was looking to get a different job after the first week and he realized the deal.
If his plant (not owned by the mill) went down, regardless of who’s fault it was, he’d not have had a job.

here's a YouTube video of a bottle of water being thrown into a blast furnace... youtube
Good chance the guy who threw that bottle died.
Water with that extreme heat makes an incredible explosion.
