Our father told us about a time at his AFB in the late 40s when a radar tech had to climb a tower to make some repairs & it was accidentally switched on a few seconds. Said the rivets in his jeans heated up & left burn marks. Nothing else burned but poor guy probably got cancer later in life. Also witnessed someone put grapes in oatmeal then nuke in a microwave. Plasma creation fried the machine and fused the bowl to the glass turn tray. Now a few clicks in the wrong hands and whole cities incinerate.
