Memorials were staged across British Steel today to mark the 51st anniversary of the Queen Victoria blast furnace disaster, in which 11 of our colleagues tragically died.

On 4 November 1975, a water leak caused molten metal to be ejected from a torpedo at our Scunthorpe site.

At the time of the explosion, 23 colleagues were working in the area. Four men died immediately and 15 employees were admitted to hospital. Subsequently, a further seven colleagues died as a result of the injuries they sustained.

A two-minute silence was staged at 2.47am today – the time of the explosion 51 years ago. This silence was observed by colleagues at work, including members of our blast furnaces team who gathered at our Queen Anne furnace (pictured below).

At 2.47pm today, a further two-minute silence was held followed by the laying of wreaths at our Queen Victoria memorial.

Our thoughts are with our colleagues who were killed and injured, their families, friends, and loved ones.
