| Summary |
Mankind, for all its genius and amazing achievements, is still far from infallible. Buildings still have to be built, and that takes the collective know-how of hundreds of people, and anywhere along this chain of human assistance could easily appear a weakest link. Take the Titanic, for instance, sure they rammed into an iceberg, but had it not been for a design flaw in the ballasts and the hull surrounding them, the impact could have been significantly less devastating |
