Cool video but disappointed that the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse didn't make it onto this video. The Millennium Bridge swaying 3 inches side to side has nothing on "Galloping Gertie" which collapsed in 1940 after only being open for four months. Plenty of videos showing just how drastically the bridge was swaying not just side to side but also up and down at the same time. It was one of the longest suspension bridges at the time and the entire center section looked like waves in the ocean before completely collapsing into Puget Sound below.

The Lotus building *was* built on solid ground, but an underground parking garage was dug out later from beneath it, and with the pile-up of that dirt next to the building the entire support base was compromised.

Hyatt Regency. Matthys Levi's excellent "Why Buildings Fall Down" describes this tragedy very well. The design called for pairs of long threaded rods hung from the ceiling; a short cross-beam with a hole at either end was slid on to both rods and lifted to the fourth-floor level, and threaded collars spun onto each rod and up under the beam to secure it. Repeat with another beam and pair of collars at the second-floor level. Repeat this structure several times across the atrium; lay the walkways across the beams. The rods and ceiling connections were designed to carry the load of the entire structure with a reasonable margin of safety, including dead load (the simple weight of the structure itself) as well as static & dynamic loads of people using the walkways. The cross-beams were likewise designed to carry the various loads of a single walkway, again with a reasonable margin of safety. The long rods were expensive, heavy, and generally difficult to handle, and threading the collars from the end all the way to the fourth-floor level took a long time (and time is money). As actually built, they hung shorter rods from the ceiling down to the fourth-floor level; a short cross-beam with TWO sets of holes at each end was slid onto the rods, with the threaded collar attached underneath to secure the fourth-floor beam. Then a second pair of threaded rods was slid through the second set of holes on that beam, with a nut on top, to hang a second set of shorter rods from the fourth-floor beam down to the second-floor level; the second-floor beam was attached to these rods as per the original design. Again, repeat across the atrium, and lay the walkways on the beams. The second-floor walkway was thus suspended from the fourth-floor beams, instead of from a continuous rod all the way to the ceiling, which meant that the fourth-floor beams were carrying both walkways - twice the load they were originally designed to carry - and, those fourth-floor beams were weaker than the original design, due to the addition of a second set of holes. Some of these beams failed, which led to the cascading collapse of both walkways.

One of the issues with the Chernobyl RBMK reactors, was that the RBMK designs, while generally very safe, have a positive void coefficient in their design. Basically, the more "voids", IE bubbles in the coolant, in this case water, the faster the reaction, the more heat, etc. This, combined with a cutoff of the water coolant, caused a massive feedback loop and overheating. US reactors, by and large, have a negative void coefficient, whereby the more voids, the less reactive the plant. There are other safeties in place for both, of course, and several RBMK reactors have been operating successfully for decades. I have, again, way oversimplified. i just wanted to share a little something I knew.

@isilder

Its not true that positive void coefficients can be made safe. The problem is that if parts of the reactor core is ever melted, then the coolant pipe could quite easily be blocked,and rods stuck, or rods moved, to a bad arrangement. ..so it must be assumed that the coolant water will be boiled away. At fukishima, the boiling of the cooling water only resulted in minimal melting of rods.

@@isilder Actually the causes of the Apollo 13 disaster were much more complex than indicated in the video or in these comments. The oxygen tank was designed with thermostatically controlled heaters to evaporate some of the liquid oxygen to increase tank pressure when necessary. The heaters and thermostats were specified by NASA to operate on 24 volts (which was the spacecraft operating voltage) and they were designed accordingly. At a later time the voltage used on the launch pad was increased from 24 volts to 65 volts but nobody thought to change the specification on the heaters or thermostats in the oxygen tanks. It really should not have been a problem as the cryogenic liquid oxygen would have kept the temperature low when the heater was powered and if it did warm up excessively the thermostat would turn off the heater before it overheated. Problem was that at one point the tank was dropped which dislodged some of the plumbing inside the tank meaning that the normal emptying procedure of flushing the liquid oxygen out with gaseous oxygen would not work. When they needed to empty the tank on the launch pad the engineers did a "work around", emptying the tank by turning on the heaters to boil off all of the liquid oxygen. This worked, but the excess heater current caused by the much higher voltage on the launch pad caused the thermostat contacts to weld closed. This caused the heater, running at about 7.5 times the power level it was designed for, to grossly overheat near the end of the process when there was no liquid oxygen keeping it cold. The extreme temperatures fried the Teflon insulated wiring inside the tank leaving it in a state ready to make a spark. Teflon is normally not that flammable, but in a high pressure 100% oxygen environment many things we don't think of as flammable will burn very aggressively. This was a lesson that should have been fully learned during the Apollo 1 disaster but it seems the lesson was not learned well enough. The spark ignited the wire insulation, the heat evaporated liquid oxygen causing tank pressure to rise resulting in an explosion. Oops...

The Hyatt walkway changes were approved *by telephone* with no on-site review or study of plans. Several licenses were lost in the aftermath.

The platform issue happened in Ireland also. Trains ordered for a suburban service from Dublin to Drogheda (30 miles north of the city) were too wide for stations on the route, which had platforms extending under road overbridges at stations. The shorter sections on the "wrong" side of the bridge were abandoned and new sections at the other end of the station added to maintain platform length.

The end of their "useful life" is basically when they no longer can communicate with mission control on Earth. The Spirit rover was declared unreachable in 2011 (after being stuck in place for 2 years by a bad wheel and soft sand and having fallen out of communication, and likely not being able to generate enough power to survive the Martian winter in hibernation mode due to the bad angle of its' solar panels as a result being trapped in place) having operated for 2208 Martian days and driven 7.73 km. The Opportunity rover lasted 5352 Martian days and drove 45.16 km, being lost in a planet-wide dust storm in 2018 which either damaged the vehicle or deposited too much dust on it for it to be able to produce enough power to activate. (Mission design parameters called for 90 Martian days survival and 0.6 km driving distance. This makes both of these rovers among the greatest overachievers in spaceflight history.)

If we ever build a Colony on Mars, the rovers will likely be recovered (assuming we can find them and/or they've physically survived the MANY Martian Dust/Sand Storms they'll have experienced by then) and either placed in a Museum or recycled for their materials... Until then, they'll simply be abandoned in place once they can't do their job anymore...It's not like we can bring them back to Earth...

Talks about Apollo 13. Shows video of the shuttle, but doesn't talk about the two catastrophic preventable failures. Hmmm. Also in general, for a video about engineering mistakes, I'd have expected a little more depth about the actual mistakes. For example, what was the reason for that bridge disaster? Or for that matter, the other bridge problem? As for Deepwater Horizon, if I recall correctly, this was ultimately a case of regulatory failure, where regulators relied more than warranted on self-regulation in the industry, which, in the end, was more interested in cutting cost than enhancing safety, with entirely predictable results. Just like, oh, the 737max disaster? (And while we're at Boeing, when - if ever - will we see Starliner actually work as intended?)
