I was a mistake but not so expensive

I don't get it
Also I subbed to you because you deserved it
I worked NASA QA for 10 years in the ‘90’s, and I started on the telemetry boxes for COSTAR. I can honestly say that everyone was holding their breath until the first pics came back after HST was powered up during the 1st Servicing/Repair Mission. After the mirror fiasco and the ultimate success of COSTAR to correct the aberration, all subsequent devices on HST as well as other Space Telescopes launched since Hubble was put in high orbit (including JWST, which should be launched next year to the L2 Orbit point out past the Moon) have had COSTAR-like correction circuits installed to ensure there’s no repeat of HST’s first images.
Looking back, while it might’ve seemed like an expensive screwup, it really wound up stimulating optics systems in every business, from hospital imaging to your cell phone. The technology would likely have been developed, but the mistake and the urgency to ensure everything was correct for the repair started that development much, much sooner.

I used to live in Osaka and loved visiting Kobe because it was close and reminds me of Seattle. The owner of one of the private English conversation schools I worked for had moved after surviving that earthquake. She said a lot of the damage was actually due to fire because of all the natural gas lines that ruptured. I myself experienced the big one in 2011 (from several hundred miles away) that caused the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster. I've been in several earthquakes and that one felt more like being on the deck of a ship in a storm than the usual shaking. The tsunami that the factor 9.0 earthquake had caused overcame the breakwater (that was built to stop tsunamis) and shorted out the generators (and backups) that were not made to function under water. Without power to the cooling pumps, the reactors overheated and some melted down. For a while after, planes weren't even allowed to fly in a large radius around the plant. They had to fly over Russia and approach from the West (coming into Kansai airport from North America anyway).
When I first moved to Japan in 2004 I worked for one of the biggest conversation school chains called Nova. Right before I got there the CEO (Sahashi Nozomu) had roughly doubled the number of locations and teachers. The economy went into a recession and (to make a long story short) Nova had spread itself too thin and went bankrupt. Turns out the company hadn't paid the rent on employees' apartments for months, so there were mass evictions. Hundreds of foreign teachers were suddenly unemployed and homeless. Some embassies (like Australia) were even offering citizens emergency flights home. I survived it because the aforementioned Kobe earthquake survivor hired me and a friend of hers helped me take over the lease on my apartment, evicting Nova on paper and signed me on as the new renter. I ended up putting up a few other teachers while they got back on their feet or secured plane tickets home.
So theres hobos and crime everywhere?
It was later found out that Fukushima was designed to withstand any INDIVIDUAL major disaster. The earthquake/tsunami combo meant where one didn't get the plant, the other did. TEPCO was warned numerous times that the plant wasn't completely safe according to its designs and did nothing to update safely protocols and systems, which could have ultimately prevented the disaster in the first place, because scientists had discovered the walls weren't high enough for more recently measured wave heights, meaning the entire plant would basically drown and fail if those waves occured. And they did.. not long after that earthquake triggered the failsafe, dropping the control rods to stop the reactions.. and then, it was all downhill.
You can blame General Electric for what happened, otherwise known as Greed and Evil.
The Fukushima reactors had no containment vessels, which would have prevented the release of radiation. Greed and Evil sold Tokyo Electric on this concept due to the cost savings. The outcome disgustingly illustrates how the influence of the buzzard vomit on Wall Street ultimately results in disastrous and costly consequences.
A little more about the kirsk sub:
The 23 survivors only survived because they all broke protocol and opened their segments of the sub to get to the very back end of the sub.
One of the people was a newlywed with his first child on the way and he had documented the entire thing in his journal that had been recovered off his body, a very hastily scrawled letter was the very last entry in the journal, the letter was to his wife telling her that the water had finally reached the back section of the sub and was rising fast and that she would have to raise their child without him because he knew there was no rescue team coming.
The 23 men were plunged into darkness about an hour after the sub had hit the bottom of the sea, only one person had a flashlight on them.
The 23 men were stranded in the sub for several days before the water ultimately flooded that final compartment of the sub.
The tragedy is that had the Russian federation accepted foreign help minder mind understanding is a lot of those sailors that survived would have been rescued. That is no way for a man to die
What's even sadder about it, is that there were teams who wanted to go down and help yet the help was declined.
@@mlafou 2 sides to every story. I have zero trust in most medias honesty or accuracy.
@Allen H I agree that yes two sides to every story. It was known at the time they did have teams from other countries and even very well know dive teams. However, because of Russia's lack of agreement to help get the trapped sub-divers out ultimately resulted in more death. Russia didn't want leaks out on their technology, I get that but they didn't even use their own countries' home teams to help. The notes were found very sad. More lives lost from inaction because they wanted to protect "secrets".
Not surprising all countries have lost people due to similar reasons in a variety of ways. It's sad, it sucks and when it comes to rescuing human lives it needs to change.

In your piece about the Hubble Space Telescope I must defend the PerkinElmer company. In NASA’s investigation into the cause of the “astigmatism” that the telescope was displaying they found that the mirror was indeed the wrong shape for the collector and sensor units. But the PerkinElmer company wasn’t to blame as they had wanted to take several crucial quality control steps, including measurements to insure the correct curvature, but that would mean cleaning it, moving it to a different stand, and heating and cooling the material to get the correct measurements to proceed. The outside inspectors said “no”. Because they were running out of time to get the project built and on the stand before the launch date. The guys from PerkinElmer company voiced their concerns many times but the inspectors had them continue. Also, NASA did not come up with the plan to save the telescope. The guys at PerkinElmer came up with the “contact lens theory”. Plus, if they had screwed it up that bad, why would they let them build the fix for it? They said that the “fix lens” was three times more challenging than the mirror was. In the early days, right after the launch, they threw PerkinElmer under the bus so that somebody else could keep eating the jellybeans. I don’t know that they ever said, publicly, who’s job it was to oversee the overseers. Thought I’d throw that in there.
I was wondering why the mirror was not tested before being launched.
@@xonx209 Deadlines…..in order to test the mirror it would need to be disassembled, put in a vacuum chamber and cooled down to mimic orbital conditions. They claimed that they didn’t have enough time to make the deadline if testing was needed, so they scrapped it. Even after the company who was grinding it said that it was a crucial step……..
Re: B2 Crash. In case anyone is wondering why the B2 didn't use standard pitot tubes for airspeed, it's because they would increase the radar crossection.
19:59 Regarding the Kursk incident. Norway offered to rescue the remaining crew on board, but they were not allowed by the Russian authorities until it was too late. When they arrived, all the men on board had died.
And just a couple weeks after this video was released, along comes a shipping boat in a canal and says "hold my beer".

15:43 Correction: The Ariane 5 rocket used part of the Ariane 4’s software, and a number generated within a 64-bit floating point was larger than the maximum capacity for the 16-bit singed integer caused the rocket to think it was 90 degrees off course, forcing ground crew to hit the self-destruct switch.
I was thinking it was probably an overflow error of some kind.
Uh… yeah me too. I was thinking these things too.
and it became the worlds most expensive firework maybe even the biggest
Ya I was thinking why they would make a self destruct switch on an unmanned rocket fully depending on the computer decision. Glad to know my doubt has been cleared up. Thanks

Your telling me a 20 yr old bridge collapsing cost 160k? The Titanic sank on it's maiden voyage, and costs 400 million to make in todays money.
What I heard about this car ship was, is someone left a side door open that they could have shut automatically from the bridge, they never shut it, so the ship was taking water from that open door which they couldn't fix it after it had taken on so much water so it started to tip until it was too late.
My Dad once met an X Nasa employee at a bar and he said they already knew about the Hubble mirror problem before the launch but sent it up anyway because they were already way over budget and past their delivery date of the project.
I can 100% see them doing this!

Thank you for this series. Details for failure analysis are good to know. Of course, "government's money" actually means money taken from citizens via taxes and/or inflation. In addition, some of the comments have very interesting information/clarification. Thank you to those commenters, as well.

Seriously, do you have a single original thought? You have posted this exact same comment on each of these videos.
In my personal experience I have encountered an expensive mistake too
I live in Goa, India and on a famous tourist destination, Miramar Beach, A huge cruise ship ran aground a few metres from the shore and people were not allowed in the water. The ship was moved around a month later. It was tilting to its side while it was there
A huge part of why Kobe was so devastated was due to how the houses were constructed, they were built with super heavy tiled roofs to endure the violent storms the region would get, but in cruel irony it meant while it could withstand massive winds it wasn't designed for the shaking of the foundation from earthquakes and almost all of the houses were completely flattened by the weight of the roofs, and it's what caused the death toll to reach such numbers as it did.
No. crule ironie iz not spaice. Crueol irony is steel, stainless for no rust. Why you no rust?

@@randomthings8247 huh?
@@queen-lilyorjiako268 well as for someone who has been working in the construction field I can say that the metal used for the wires in holding up the bridge in the first clip was the first mistake. When creating such a bridge you gotta use either galvanized steel wires or aluminium wires, for the exact reason that they cannot rust. And aluminum would be preferred here as it is both flexible, light doesn't rust and is very strong.
@@randomthings8247 Actually, aluminum oxydise way faster than iron
But the oxyde is stronger than aluminum metal

A small privately owned restaurant near my house had just reopened under new management. It had always offered standard fare, such as chicken fried steak, BBQ and other southern dishes. It did moderately well, but the new management decided to increase sales by offering an unlimited seafood buffet for lunch on Wednesdays. It was only $9.99 each and instantly was wildly popular! Their biggest moving item was the shrimp, which was fried, boiled, popcorn and shrimp etouffee. People were heaping nothing but shrimp on their plates and eating tons of it! The special was supposed to run for two months, but was cut short after just three weeks. Shortly thereafter the restaurant closed it's doors again and their new "manager" was out looking for a new job! Hopefully he found one that doesn't involve selling food!
Seattle 1994 . Security Fence Co. Inc. My Forman and I had started a Security Fencing job at Boeing Field. Underground utilities aka call before you dig, had already paint marked all underground utilities. Giving us the go to layout our fence line. Staying a minimum of 3ft away from there markings. Great so we had to drill through the airstrip approx 1 1/2 ft of concrete + 4ft depth as needed for structural integrity for the fence post footing. A Hydronic Taxoma drill rig was used to do the job. Unfortunately on the 3rd hole the drill unit hit some underground obstruction. Witch had brought the project to a screaming hault. When 80% of Boeing Fields fiber optics had been drilled through. Costing a staggering $27,000,000 price tag blow to the utility Companys (Call before you dig. ) for a paint mark off by 19 inches. OUTCH! The Fence Co. Was not at fault. DOUG SMITH & DALE LEWALLEN.

The Nanfang’ao bridge failure started at the top of one of the vertical cable near the center, not at the cable anchors at either end. The other cables should have been able to absorb the extra load but they too were corroded.
Why not stainless with nikel alloye? No rust, no death. Why death over rust?

2:56 That's amazing. I had no idea about how the Hubble telescope's mirrors were made. Thank you for the update, Be Amazed..!!
I just remember how big a joke Hubble was back in the day. It's made up for it in spades since then. Some of the most recent images are mind-blowingly amazing. Not a joke anymore.
Except the videos were of Steward Observatory Mirror Lab, which didn’t make Hubble’s mirror.
9:00 The idea for Harry Potter actually came to her in 1990 while she was searching for a job, and the idea "just fell into her head". It wasn't until 1995 that she was able to finish the book, and in 1997 was able to publish it.
Just a youthful spin on "The Lord of the Rings".
I've read both too many similarities to ignore.

50 million dollars is a cheap fix to an instrument costing 1.5 billion. The COSTAR fix was and is genius. What an amazing and demanding feat the Hubble telescope was!
I watched a documentary on the B2 bomber accident. There was alot more miscommunication than that. Not even some of the techs at guam knew about it and there were also warning signs given by the plane after calibration that were disregarded. It was also a flaw in the programming as the plane systems were aware of the d9fferent sensor readings even after calibration but believed the false reading over the legitinate readings when doing it's autonated actions. The pilots literally were not able to stop it.

I find something oddly endearing about the Hubble telescope needing glasses to see clearly.

There’s no price on life unfortunately ;( condolences to the people that have died to these mistakes
I disagree. Life is worth NOTHING. (ALL WE ARE is....ONE DUDE's JIZZ!!)
Humans cost nothing to make, and couldn't be EASIER to accidentally create!
Plus, there's a fate FAR worse than death:
LIFE (on a planet of 7 billion fuckup humans!).

So, real story on the Deepwater Horizon, I've never worked for Halliburton, but I worked for their direct competitor for 7 years and there are many different facets to the story. The company that owned and operated the drilling rig was Transocean, which is a great company with an outstanding safety record, but they had been having trouble abandoning the Macondo well so that they could move on to the Kaskida well and the production rig was due to move onto Macondo behind them. The issue was that Halliburton had been researching a better concrete slurry to plug the well so that it could be properly abandoned until the production rig had their blow out preventer and casing tubing installed and could drill through the concrete plug and start oil production. Well Halliburton hadn't perfected the concrete mixture yet and on top of everything not enough centrilizers were used on the drill string due to BP and Halliburton decisions on cost cutting. Also, once the plug had been found to have been leaking from a negative pressure test the Manual Disconnect System had failed to shear the pipe in the BOP because of poor maintenance on the rig crew's part. I have somewhat of a connection to the BOP, but I cannot say how (for obvious reasons) although I can say that I have never seen or touched it. The major issue was that there was a breakdown in pressure applied by BP to the rig crew into believing false ideologies in an attempt to explain away the pressure leak, on Halliburton for not thoroughly testing their slurry concoction before implementing it, and also on the many safeguards that are taught to us as oilfield workers when we are first hired and throughout our careers as we advance to different positions. It's an unfortunate reality in the oilfield that when the budget is way overblown and the projected completion date of a project is passed and exceeded that the owners of the well will attempt to come up with well founded reasons for why something is wrong, but well experienced and trained oilfield employees know better, but they go with the flow because even though we were thoroughly trained to "stop the job" when we find something wrong, we can't stand up to company men. It's sad. It truly is.
I also have worked in the offshore oil field. You hit every nail perfectly on the head. There was a catastrophic failure at every level to cause this disaster. You cannot point the finger at just one company or one person. It required a conspiracy to cause this disaster.
So did the companies involved learned a lesson and changed for the better?
I’m pretty sure the most costly mistake is when you major in something you soon grow to hate.
Only if you treat your education as learning how to do a very specific thing rather than learning how to learn, adapt, and grow.
I believe that the situation with kursk sub isn't a problem of welding rather not being checked casually for routine inspections.Im not sure if they check those machines that much to be honest!
Some more spacecraft accidents:
The Mariner 1 crashed in 1962, also due to a software error. It's not exactly clear where the mistake was, as there are several theories to what caused the error.
The Mars Climate Orbiter was lost again because of a software error. The programmers for one of the systems used imperial measurements for some reason, which caused the guidance systems to malfunction, as they interpreted the data as if the Orbiter was flying upside down and steered it straight towards the ground.

Seems he's back to his original state, with nothing to show for it, but grief and a sad story, like claiming to lose the winning Mega-Million or Powerball lottery ticket.
It would be funny if, in the future, an archeologist finds the HDD, and a team of engineers reads out the data from the platter to recover the digital tokens. If BTC is still valid as a currency at that point in time, there'll be a lot of vulture lawyers coming in to feed.

Except for repetitive stress syndrome. That's why steel is better. Some use stainless now, as some alloys are very tough, the galvanizing can't rub off, and it is far stronger than aluminum, which also suffers from wear as loads are cyclic and movements although small, happen continuously.
I lived through the 1971 Sylmar Earthquake north of LA. And lived on the same street as the Olive Vista Hospital.

I think you got the Harry Potter story wrong. It was rejected by everyone, but it was first published by Scholastic. Scholastic normally published textbooks and published HP only on a lark, I think a child of an editor liked it. None of the "real" publishers wanted it. Scholastic then laughed all the way to the bank
Years ago,I used to work for "Weekly Reader" Scholastic was our mortal enemy!
Scholastic negotiated with Bloomsbury for the rights to publish all the American versions of the Harry Potter stories. Bloomsbury was the first publisher, in the UK, where it was written and first published. Scholastic is certainly not primarily a textbook publisher. It was famous for publishing beloved children’s literature long before the brilliant move of securing the American publication rights to the HP franchise. I’m American, but I also own the Bloomsbury, non-Americanized, versions of the HP books. I like the original British-isms and spellings better than the Americanized versions that Scholastic publishes. That being said, I do love Scholastic as a company, and especially their wonderful educational student magazines. I have used several of them extensively in my classroom and find them to be first rate.
I was living in the town where the clip @:04 happened. They shut down the only East-West route through that part of the city. IT was closed for a month and they had an elaborate detour to get people who lived along that rode to work and back. The state and city film office were bombarded with calls, I don't know what the city got in compensation for that shoot, but the population who lived out there didn't think it was worth it.
I would love to be a fly on the wall in regards to the people that are able to investigate scraps of shredded metal and put together these incredible stories of what happened.
Not saying I don't believe it, there is always the chance, but I'd really just love to see how one thing leads to another in their findings, which determines what they believe happened.
Corning Glass company in Elmira New York built the corrective lens for the Hubble. They actually had to make 2 of them as the first had a tiny microscopic defect and that was not good enough for Corning. So at their own cost they remaid the corrective lens. You can see the first lens and how big it actually is by visiting the Corning Museum of Glass in Elmira NY
I lost my wallet once, over $20 gone, just like that, it still hurts
I misplaced a wallet in my apartment and later found it again but not until I cancelled the cards in it. Annoying and expensive.
Its 500pesos in philippines
@@shangamingyt9327 Oo Mahal yun
@@michaelpettersson4919 should have just locked 🔐 the cards and then after if still not found then cancel. haha that's what I do. I just freeze or lock my card when I can't find it. And when I find it I unlock it. 🙌🏽☺️👌🏽

Those poor submariners, especially those that didn’t get killed by the first explosion. Can’t imagine anything worse.
When the rescue teams was on their way an explosion was heard at the sub. It later showed that the oxygen torches they used had got in contact with water and when they do they explode violently and killed them all.
THE WORST PART is that in EVERY case....it's the INNOCENT VICTIMS WHO PAY....while the lazy FUCK-UPS or Corrupt Suits GET AWAY EVERY TIME.
"can't imagine anything worse" *Sinking bismarck flashback* yeah.. Sinking Bismarck is just one example for a worse thing... also Yamato and Musashi.
Dying of mouth cancer, yeah thats worse. give me drowning any day
I can. Nerve agents
The sensors were VERY important for the B-2 Spirit cause it has no tail wings. It is a stealth Bomber with a flying wing, since it has no tail wings, it needs such sensors, and a very unique paint job
RE Harry Potter - for every big hit, there are 10,000 duds.
Okay everyone let’s go search for that hard drive cut gets split evenly 😂
🤣🤣
The one person who already found it: no thanks
Ight ima join lolll
fail
Eh, if no one has found it by now, it's all gone anyway. The disks have probably corroded into slag by now.
My college Physics teacher would go to the Perkin Elmer factory in Norwalk CT to teacher the engineers how to build the Hubble Space Telescope.
Update to bitcoin blunder: he found the hard drive recently, but it turns out he'd mined bitcoin cash, not base bitcoin. Meaning his hard drive was worth a fraction of what he thought it was and he's deep in debt after borrowing against the perceived value of the drive to retrieve it. Oops!
The cause of the bridge collapse in the first segment seems to be identical to that of the Ponte Morandi bridge collapse in Genoa, Italy. It seems like a very bad idea to attempt to seal off cables in concrete, making them very hard - or impossible - to properly inspect.
The only thing better than a birthday is having a be amazed video on my birthday (although i guess they do upload daily)
Happy belated
Ouch!
We had an Ice storm in Iowa. A high tension power line was hanging so low it was blocking travel on a hi-way. Instead of having trucks support the lines, the person in charge decided to cut the lines resulting in 25 miles of towers being pulled over.
I'm surprised you didn't start a worldwide treasure hunt for that hard drive filled with Bitcoin lol
other than ransom money unless you know the password to access that bitcoin would just end up wasting it.
i'll give you a clue.. its in newport not far from cardiff lol
@@Mogani well if it were me I'd be happy enough to get it back to share with the finder.
Now since it's my idea I feel like I deserve a little bit of a fee for getting the right person with the ability to go find it the idea. lol
@@Mogani But you'd also be surprised to see the amount of people who write that information on something and then tape it to the hard drive. There's plenty of hard drives in my freezer with the information of what's on it and the login information taped to it well enough the paper is totally safe.
(NO ONE ROB ME THEYRE PICTURES! THATS IT! FAMILY PHOTOS. One is solely every photo of my dead kid. These have zero worth to anyone else.)
I remember the 2003 fire. My family and I were evacuated to a couple towns over. The smoke was horrible smelling for months. Thankfully our house survived.
Glad your house survived both trips, the speedy sprint to the ocean and the slow march back to the mountains once the wind shifted.
I remember that fire the smoke was terrible.
Having seen some of the absolutely breathtaking and amazing images Hubble has taken in recent years, the cost for having to create COSTAR due to the original issues is vastly worth it.
LOOK CLOSER.
Too often I've seen "Hubble photos" that are incredible...and then the FINE PRINT says it's a DOCTORED photograph!!
(Some are "artist's RENDITIONS"!!!!)
I find it quite endearing that the Hubble needed glasses. Like some little old man gazing wistfully up at the stars, wondering what there might be.
I feel so sorry for the guy who threw the bitcoin hard drive away
I feel like they ignore the deaths and act like the worst part was the cost.
the guy that was responsible for the kursk disaster probably got shot out of a torpedo tube and probably got sent to gulag if he survived the first punishment
yea. he is ded in gulag now :D
All this and a shot of Tom Hardy. Perfect.
The guy who sold 1st twitter as NFT had it worse, 2.9 millions for the tweet, and when he re-sell the tweet, he got lucky if some one offer him 10k dollars. We're talking about 2.9 millions. And now it's worth less than 4 bucks.
I found recently that the USA had in fact imposed a blackout on the east coast early in 1942, but made it voluntary. I wonder what the consequent shipping losses cost.
Lol 😂 I feel bad for everyone
same
Most of the problems happened because the people who caused it were ignorant so i don't feel as bad
Why are you laughing then?

Wait, so was the truck driver a fisherman as well or did he really survive that fall?!?! 🤯
He survived.
Channel never ceases to amaze me... with narrators who pay absolutely no attention to the text they're reading. "...Ariane 5, which was a *predecessor* of the super successful Ariane 4"... nothing wrong with this phrase...
How about the Camp Fire that wiped out the town of Paradise, California? That was a costly mistake for Pacific, Gas and Electric
