  2. Safety is almost never first, whatever people may say.

  3. It was a marginal design from the beginning.

  4. The play “Ten November” is a significant work of art that memorializes the Edmund Fitzgerald.

  5.  @StoneInMySandal  — It is inherntly unsafe, which is why there are rules specifying the number of brakes hch must be set and how thy are to be tested. There ought to be a rule requiring a derailing dvice be used when leaving a train unattended.

  6. The design of the Concorde did contribute to the disaster. That’s why it was grounded for a time to make it more robust.

  7. There is a play of the event, “Ten November,” by Steven Dietz. The 50th anniversary is coming up. Some theater companies must stage this.

  8. I've wondered whether there were any members of the engineering faculty who expressed warnings about these structures.

  9. sabbottart — Everything is a tradeoff. There will be a downside.

  10. It’s possible. Plastic pipe is common for water systems now. That is hydraulic.

  11. As reported, there were several factors.

  12. “Freak accident” is meaningless. Most aircraft disasters are “accidents” in that there was no intent. He was charged because he did not follow procedures, thus contributing to the disaster.

  13. Earlier local time. Time zones.

  14. Τhe rerm “structurally deficient” does not mean “in imminent danger of collapse.” In this case the bridge was dangerous and did collapse, but that does not mean that other bridges so categorized are also in imminent danger of collapse.

  15. The “W” stands for “West.”

  16. They were flying from Charles de Gaulle.

  17. There were weaknesses in the Concorde design that contributed.

  18. Most disasters are the result of a number of contributing factors coming together.

  19. There should be strict limits on it. The problem was that it became an objective to build a bigger one than the last.

  20. Exactly. There must be manual egress in an emergency. Reminds me of a stretch limo disaster in California several years ago. A fire, and no way to get out. Not as many people, but still a horrible disaster for those involved. It’s crazy that those vehicles are legal.

  21. The curvature of Earth can be seen from a mountaintop overlooking the ocean.

  22. No, because they spent a lot of money strengthening the aircraft against another similar event, then started flying again.

  23. No, because they were not negligent. The mechanic didn’t follow procedure.

  24. Probably, their parents sued.

  25. It isn’t true that most US bridges are unsafe.

  26. Most bridges designed in the USA are better than this one was.

  27. No, it wouldn’t have happened to any aircraft. Tires do fail on takeoff now and then, without incident. The speed and design of the Concorde contributed to the disaster. That’s why it was grounded to make it more resistant to such damage.

  28. It doesn't. It's a quote from the introduction in the documentary.

  29. In what city or town?

  30. Clearly, they are talking about airliners.
