[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stockton Rush and the engineering of this thing reminds me a little of that tragic Schlitterbahn Water Park incident. I read a lot about how the park owners went about designing and building that ride, and it was a crazy, unscientific process of trial and error. Engineers were horrified by it. [/quote] That was horrifying. I took a class on the ethics of engineering as a requirement for my mechanical engineering degree. We studied classic engineering mistakes like the Kansas City Hyatt regency walkway, Tacoma narrows bridge, challenger shuttle, and bhopal. Since then, there have been so many other disasters that could have been added to that curriculum - surf side condo collapse, thane building collapse, Katrina levee failures, florida pedestrian bridge, metro overpass in Mexico, Mississippi River bridge in MN, sampoong dept store in Seoul. And if implosion occurred- the titan sub. [/quote]
