One of my shop teachers back in high school said he used to work in a recycling plant and the biggest boogie men of the industry was having an unopened can of soda hitting a smelter at max temp. He told us the resulting explosion would be enough to take out the entire recycling facility. Is this even possible?

Can confirm. I used to work at aluminum recycling many years back.
Wet material placed into a furnace of molten aluminum causes explosions of molten metal to fly out.
In the winter when everything was covered in snow, you had to be extremely careful when loading the furnace….
