Big story about it in Steam Railway, apparently, there was a problem with the water pipes to the boiler, so the fire brigade were called in to assist, but the local paper printed a big artical about the fact they were called to cool it down as it was going to explode, and printed a picture of it with the white steam, doctored to black, they WERE made to print an apology!
