9780716765387: Catastrophe!: Failure and Success in Engineering (Mysteries of Science)

Synopsis

Why do buildings and bridges fall down? Why do so many planes crash? What makes the lights go out in millions of homes during a blackout? Why can nuclear energy be so dangerous? What made the space shuttle Challenger explode? This book provides the answers. Other examples covered include: the collapse of a walkway suspended several floors above a hotel-lobby; an airplane crash into a mountainside; and a nuclear-power-plant accident. In each instance, the author asks what engineers can learn from the catastrophe and how they can prevent it happening again.
