- Allan J. McDonald addressed attendees at the 2016 AIChE Spring Meeting and 12th GCPS, delivering a lectured titled "Ethics Lessons Learned from the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster." McDonald was the chemical engineer responsible for making sure the reason for the shuttle's explosion came to light.
He sat down with Emily Frangenberg of AIChE's CEP Magazine to share some of the main points of his talk with the ChEnected audience and also shared advice for young chemical engineers. - Věda a technologie
This is so interesting to hear a first-hand account of the science and politics of the time. What an incredible person
Well put. This man is easy to follow and has helped me learn critical lessons on heeding warning from those near the problem. Safety first! Every thing was against the launch. The o rings, temps, jet stream, and the venting cold O2 being carried to the right SRB by a breeze which happened to travel in that area.
I'm surprised Alan sat for this interview
Rest In Peace to the crew of challenger killed by negligence
Never Forgotten ❤️🙏🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🌌❄️❄️🌨️☄️🪐🛰️🚀
I just watched the movie " Challenger" - intense! Much respect!
I grew up on the Apollo program, the landing, Apollo 13, the Challenger disaster and holding my breath during the first launch after. In my opinion Alan and his compatriots that brought the truth to light are the heroes of this story. Too many times people pay with their lives for other peoples decisions.
Microphone is way too low.. Otherwise good interview..
Always safety first! Listen to the recommendations of the engineers, otherwise reality will catch up! If something can happen, sooner or later it will happen, it's as simple as that!
Cool tie :-)
Imagine being most famous for a horrific disaster!
Very good man though.
Because NASA didn't listen to this man, and heed his warnings, seven human beings died tragically. Same NASA mentality led to the Columbia disaster, seven more human beings torn to pieces and suffered a grotesque death.
