I think it's fair to ask what steam pressure they were running.

I would bet my boots, that that the radiator was somewhat elevated from the ground. And that they were supports under the legs on the air vent side and no supports under the legs on the shut-off valve side. Which means that the valve spud was supporting the weight of the radiator. Give it enough time and the spud will crack. I've seen this happen numerous times.
