There's this offhand joke I like in Jeeves and Wooster (great show): "Jeeves, why do you think they make those buildings so tall?" "Well, sir, partly because of the restricted size of Manhattan Island and also because the island is solid granite and, therefore, capable of supporting such structures." "Oh... nothing about having the building plans sideways, then."

The Vasa is a fun one. The ship was poorly designed with the lower gun deck too close to the waterline. When the ship left port the lower gun ports were open so they could fire a salute. As soon as the sails were set they caught a couple gusts of wind and water poured in through the lower gun ports. The ship capsized and sank almost immediately. Embarrassing and expensive lol

I think that the architect that made essentially two death rays is wild. The first time I can kinda excuse (only kinda tho, because he knew about it, so still a scumbag move), but no one checked his credintials the second time? And he basically did the exact same thing (with more knowledge of the results, even)? Outrageous. If there's such a thing as malicious incompetence, I think he fits.

Yes. I worked for a company that was being bought by incompetent Lockheed Martin when the Mars Explorer bit the dust, left industry, returned to academia, and used that as an example in classes for years. I worked on a project with a contractor for a major telco on a government project, and the telco and the agency called a meeting in N Va. for 100+ people from DC, MD, and Missouri to figure why statistics differed from two places. I asked my project manager what the meeting was about, and she didn't know, but I had to be there. Briefly after the introductions the suits were discussing what they were seeing. I was sitting next to an engineer from the telco, and we turned and said to each other "time zones." We were measuring # of calls per day in two cities in different time zones, and, of course, got different numbers. A call after midnight in one time zone might be before midnight in another. If someone had simply sent an email to the technical side of the house explaining the discrepancy, instead of calling everyone together for an expensive meeting, we could have just explained time zones to the suits. After this I got a spec from my project manager saying all times should be eastern standard time. I had to explain to her that UTC would be good, but failing that just eastern time, not eastern *standard*, since different locales in the US handle daylight savings time differently.

That bridge collapse in S Korea reminded me of the I35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis over a decade ago. Over a dozen killed. In that case, the bridge was over 40yrs old and it took that long for a construction flaw to finally fail. Not sure what the total for a couple years ago when that freighter got jammed cross-ways in the Suez Canal. The disruption to cargo traffic must have cost all involved a huge amount. I think the world stock markets were also affected. Huge and costly mistakes going back in history older than a few 100 years would be a lot harder to account for. Records of what happened and the costs not survived, etc.

There is a book "Humble Pi" by Matt Parker about the most funny and costly mathematical errors in history. In relation to that Vasa ship, one of the problems was that different teams used different units during construction of the ship. Some Swedish feet, while others Amsterdam feet. At the end because they used different units of length on the two sides of the vessel , the ship was wider and heavier on the port side :) There is also a funny story about Laufenburg bridge, on the Switzerland German border. They built one side of the bridge according to the Mediterranean Sea level, while other side according to the North Sea level. They knew there is ~10 inch difference, but instead of "-" sign somebody wrote "+" at the end the difference was 20 inches:)

Really interesting but grizzly fact about the Vasa. When the Vasa was re floated a sailors preserved skull was found inside one of the canons. Thanks to the cold water both the head and ship were preserved, however the skull was one of a kind as when the ship had rolled over and capsized, a bronze cannon fell onto the sailor covering his head with the barrel of the gun keeping it protected from fish, crabs and other sea creatures from scavenging it and aswell as saving it from erosion! I feel bad, i don’t know your name! Thank you for your videos!

I worked for a company that leads the market in manufacturing linear accelerators. They use both metric and imperial systems. There was a master tech who was telling me that he was troubleshooting one of the newer machines that was passing through manufacturing. He found a flaw in the drawing of the schematic given to him of the board he was troubleshooting. When the engineers who signed off on the schematic were asked why they didn't catch the flaw, they said the reason they signed off on it was because this other engineer signed off on it. So much for redundancy.

They say on the Lake Peigneur disaster the real casualty was Texaco's pride, as though all that salty water didn't cause massive damage to flora and fauna, which apparently doesn't matter. One the Mars probe disaster he concludes "I guess it pays to stick to one measurement system" rather than the obvious "it's long past time the USA abandoned the antiquated imperial system and caught up to the rest of the world. The US was going to switch around 1970, the time Australia did switch, however the US decided it cost too much and forced the rest of the world to deal with that old system as well as metric, so the US didn't have to. Many Americans still can't convert and expect those that use metric to convert for them, which is pretty arrogant considering they're the ones out of step.

To add context to the Mars Climate Orbiter. If I remember correctly, the spacecraft sent back data in metric (Newton-seconds) while the programme reading the data was using Imperial (pound-seconds). This differs by a factor of over 4, so they went off course by a lot and burned up in Mars' atmosphere.

I'm surprised they didn't talked about the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010. It is estimated that 4,9M barrels of oil were spilled in the gulf. Cleanup and recovery cost about $40G. BP also paid about $7,8G to the victims of the spill, they settle other legal issues for $4,5G. Later the Transocean agreed to a $1G penalty under the Clean Water act. They also paid an additional $400M for criminal violation of the Clean Water Act. Transocean then resolved other claim for $211,7M. Other criminal charges were brought for about $1,3G. The Exxon Valdez was another that I was thinking about that happened in 1989. At the time, it was the biggest disaster of the kind until the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010. The Supertanker lost approximately 11M gallons of crude oil. Exxon provided $2,1G of founding for the cleanup of the 1,300 miles (2092km) of polluted water and coastlines. Even if it wasn't the largest oil spill from a tanker (not even in the top 20 in terms of quantity of Crude Oil lost), the Exxon Valdez created a lot of ecological and economic damages. 9 years after the disaster, negative repercussion could still be felt in the marine bird and fish close to the area. Exxon has paid about another $532M in causes and legal battles.

Clarification on the Walkie talkie building. I worked on the construction. The architect took his name off the building, his design had special glass for the concave face of the building which would have cost 18 million I think to remember. Putting traditional glass was way cheaper so they took the chance by knowing that if it did make the same problem as in Las Vegas the cost of repair would be 6 million... I believe the 12 million from the video is the total cost, so at the end they actually saved 6 millions from the original design...

One of the reasons why the Wasa went down can be attributed to the king himself. The way I heard it many moons ago was that he was not satisfied with its size. So he decided that an extra gundeck was to be added which in turn meant that it was top-heavy. So when she cast off it didn't take much wind to make her lean so much that water gushed in through the gun-ports on lower deck...

You should look at the millennium tower in San Francisco or the bay bridge, huge engineering mistakes.. or the flight computers on Boeing needed to be re program because it caused planes to wreck.

For the metric/imperial thing. The problem is that if build in the US, the manufacturing side will be using imperial. Nasa still needs to deal with external businesses and said businesses need to be able to communicate with their manufacturing.

Back when we used to lay out calendar dates manually, I may have shifted dates once or twice resulting in one complete print re-run, origination and all and one new set of origination (thankfully it hadn't gone to print!). Fun times 😅

Oh that happened to a lady here in The Netherlands just last week. She'd had 500 calendars made with cat photos to make money for her cat recovery center. Turns out some days were just missing from the calendar making them worthless.

Bridges, plane, car, train, street train crashes are scary to watch if you're about to embark on a journey where you might come across these things. I legimatley never listend to News describing these things before using one of them. That I'm doing this now before my holiday vacay is unforunate coincendces bc I didn't thought of these things and was thinking, while it was still a ship and ish still happens more of like crimes and accidents around Titanic times.

Canadian here, still pissed we didn't take up the offer... even if just for the coastlines... the fact that Alaska is way over harvesting our endangered B.C. bourn salmon stocks is bad enough, let alone all the other reasons

Making shiny buildings should be a capital crime. P.S. No way Lockheed and JPL made that mistake. But, you know how "official stories" go.

When do you get in trouble for not knowing what you should know? Like, how do you not know that you're bad at your job? If i designed cars, that kept killing people.. I'd stop designing cars... Better yet WHO WOULD LET ME? Good ol' Rafael Vinoly though.. "Oh you make Hundred Million Dollar buildings that create small fires?!" WELL SURE ILL LET YOU DESIGN MY BUILDING!

my most expensive mistake was paying for uni when I could have gone to a trade school and made the same amount of money as I do now but without the fees

So my one was £200, peanuts compared to all these but at the time it was a lot of money for me. Still would be for me today, but basically I tried to start my own business and I was convinced it would be easy despite me not being a business minded person. Me not being a business minded person caused it to crash and burn, so yeah.
