So today in one of my engineering classes, the professor had us brainstorm a list of engineering disasters/failures. Some of the stuff we listed included: Chernobyl, Challenger/Columbia, Titanic, Firestone tires, Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Anyways, after the exercise, the professor then said something like: "When a doctor messes up, it only kills one person. When an engineer messes up, we kill a LOT of people... therefore, pay attention in your classes!" Hah, I thought that was a rather humorous way to reiterate a pretty simple point.
