- jchook 5y agoNot necessarily agreeing but reminded of the Harvard Bridge in Boston. I heard that though it was often called the MIT bridge (because it connects MIT campus to Boston), they felt fine with the name “Harvard” after learning it was structurally unsound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Bridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Bridge

- wly_cdgr 5y agoChallenger, Columbia (safety culture at NASA really improved after Challenger huh), Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Fukushima, recent FL condo collapse, my average five story Brooklyn apartment building's basement and roof after a thunderstorm, Boeing's long and growing list of recent fuckups... is some stuff that comes to mind off the top of my head. Makes you wonder how many close calls, less major incidents, cracks that are noticed and repaired in time, buildings that happen to be demolished twenty years before collapsing to make way for redevelopment, etc we don't even hear about, no? What about you - anything to back up your claim?
