    Well, being an Electrical, we didn’t focus too much on this sort of stuff. However, when the Navy spent three months trying to turn me into a Civil Engineer, they did mention this frequently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse

    This story definitely has a much happier ending.
