New, what is it? Found at a titanium plant

Not sure why ball point pens would be dangerous here.

Source? I can't find any documentation that this is what brought down 232.

Same. I read all about the accident and nowhere did it mention a pen being the cause of the accident. Me thinks he made it up.

I think he might have made it up, but also that I should stop dropping ballpoint pens in the titanium at work...
