The Flixborough disaster in 1974 was caused by a pipe rupture leading to a massive vapor cloud explosion at a chemical plant in North Lincolnshire, England. The rupture occurred during a restart of a chemical reactor following maintenance, releasing a flammable mixture of cyclohexane vapor that ignited, resulting in a catastrophic explosion that caused widespread damage and loss of life.
