As impressive as some of our modern inventions may seem, there is always a chance for our projects to fail. To err is human, as the old saying goes. Great efforts, such as the design and construction of a new building, based on the collective knowledge of hundreds of individuals. That said, the success of each project will depend largely on the weakest link in the chain of knowledge. This is exactly the reason, the engineering jobs are in high demand so strong. The following is aCollection of the five worst engineering failures in modern times.
Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster
Diasters
On January 28, 1986 sparked the space shuttle Challenger off the coast of Florida, the deaths of seven crew members. It is believed that an O-ring on the right solid rocket booster failed causing an injury in common and so hot, pressurized gas to escape the rocket engine. This has led to structural failure of the external tank andprecipitate with the help of aerodynamic forces, the complete separation of the vehicle. The failure of the O-ring was a bad design of the Rogers Commission had.
Chernobyl Meltdown
Diasters
On April 26, 1986, the world experienced the worst disaster in nuclear history at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine. The resulting explosion (s) resulted in the release of significant amounts of radiation into the atmosphere, producing around 400 times moreFallout as the bombing of Hiroshima. While human error has played a role in the disaster, are deficiencies in the design of the control rods had to be the cause for the accident. The authorities remain largely uncertain about the effects of radiation exposure, and the area is still heavily contaminated by 20.
New Orleans Levee Systems
In August 2005, a series of storms pounded the area around New Orleans, Louisiana. It is assumed that thereover 50 individual errors in the causeway systems and flood walls to protect the city of New Orleans. This failure contributed to the flood embankments of over 85% of the city, with some areas under ten feet of water or more. In 2006 he received the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in his testimony before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Energy and Water, that "problems with the design of the structure." New Orleans, Louisiana a disaster area remains to this day.
