Disasters Are Not Mysteries
Almost every bridge collapse, train derailment, or industrial explosion traces back to corporate cost-cutting, mismanaged incentives, or suppressed warnings.
Engineered Flaws is an independent research notebook documenting what I learn, read, and watch from engineering history and podcast episodes like “Well There's Your Problem”—from poorly calculated structural joints to the corporate greed behind preventable tragedies.
Almost every bridge collapse, train derailment, or industrial explosion traces back to corporate cost-cutting, mismanaged incentives, or suppressed warnings.
Borrowing from the ethos of "Well There's Your Problem": we demystify engineering jargon to examine the political and human forces beneath the concrete.
Carefully curated reading notes, technical citations, and investigative postmortems shared openly for anyone seeking to learn from historical catastrophe.
