Reply to comment by angroro in TIL about the sinking of the S.S. Eastland, a small steamer who, in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, was filled with so many lifeboats that it became unstable and eventually sank, leading to the deaths of 844 people. by Sebastianlim
Most disasters ARE, in retrospect, disasters. But it often takes empirical events to prove that. Like amanita poisoning. Then the warnings are believed, and no one builds more ships with concrete decks....
Test, test, test. Confirm, confirm, confirm. That always sorts the wheat from the chaff.
