Thoughtless to mock Cardiff in the title on this particular occasion.

Here's some information about the steelworks.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-34857009

Uses 40% of Cardiff's energy.

Employs 1,000 people directly plus 3,000 indirectly.

Contributes £105 million a year to the Welsh economy.

Yes, it's a horrible thing to have happened and all our thoughts are with the bereaved, but the reason that it's News is because these accidents are so incredibly rare. Seven or eight people will have died in road accidents today (because that's what happens every day) so that won't be reported.
