They saw the warning signs. Vasa sailed anyway. 🚢
In 1628, a gust tipped the warship, water rushed through its open gunports, and it sank on its first voyage. The stability test had already shown it could roll dangerously. What engineering failure should we cover next?

Was Pittsburgh's Fern Hollow bridge, a bridge that was doomed to fail, or was there more to the engineering behind the collapse?

Court cautions against "unflinching faith" in state engineering! 🏗️ Questioning reliability after recent infra failures (roads washing away 🌧️, bridges collapsing 🌉). #EngineeringFailures #Infrastructure
