Inviting Disaster: Lessons from the Edge of Technology Paperback - 2002
by James R. Chiles
Explaining in vivid layman's terms how machines fail and deadly accidents result, this book draws on a wide range of disasters--some famous, some obscure --and combines riveting storytelling with eye-opening findings to show what happens when the reach for new technology exceeds a realistic grasp. Features a new Introduction.
First line
Beginning on September 11,2001, and for the following three months, it seemed terrorists were about to turn the full might of our own mechanical wonders against us.
