It is reported that the ladle contains 270 tons of molten iron and the temperature is as high as 1300℃. The overturned molten iron meets the water vapor in the air, and the conditions are comparable to those of volcanic lava. It is preliminarily judged that the ladle dumping is caused by the unilateral falling off of the double plate hook.
