    they are normally sealed

    Normally

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the issue turns out to be a comedy of errors.

    1. Damaged transformer is never fix. Due to budget issues corruption
    2. Overtime it becomes more damaged until it represents a serious safety issue. See above
    3. Absolutely no equivalent of workplace safety laws. Sea above
    4. All resulting in a massive explosion
