I actually experienced something like this first hand. I started a new job four months ago, and traveled with my new boss to a steel supplier's manufacturing facility overseas. I asked to see their forging shop, and when we entered it they were grinding the scale off of an ingot about 25 feet inside of the doorway. So there was black smoke in the air and sparks flying. To the left of this was a huge hydraulic forging press. My boss refused to take more than a few steps inside the building, and didn't last 5 minutes in there before returning to the outside again. When I came out 25 minutes later, he told me that it actually looked like how he pictured hell. I told him that it felt like home to me - I had worked in that type of environment every day for the previous ten years.
