Are boilers that dangerous?

I seen something online that unquestionably freaked myself and others out about boilers! There was some news story about a hot water boiler that exploded plus killed 3 people! Several others were hurt, and this was a boiler at some immense industrial building… I could not think that a hot water boiler could be this dangerous! Was it some fluke or was it unquestionably saying something about the dangers of boilers in general? I had typically avoided gas furnaces plus gas heating systems because of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, however but now with this story I seen about the hot water boiler exploding plus killing people it unquestionably had myself and others thinking.

Is electric heating the only safe form of heating around? I could be getting over paranoid, however, when you know about it, the fact that there is even the slightest option that nearly every form of heating could kill someone is frightening.

It almost makes myself and others wonder if all of these tragic events coming from weird forms of heating that are being reported are getting all the news coverage to make the electric companies get more rich by promoting the use of electric heating. I know that sounds crazy, but it unquestionably does make myself and others wonder when I keep seeing things appreciate this hot water boiler explosion plus then all the deaths reported from gas heating of all kinds, and someday they need to come up with a form of heating that will end up being one hundred percent safe with no risk what so ever. Maybe with all the advancements in heating plus a/c technology this will one day be definitely possible.
