The Collapse Of Savar Building
The death toll in this horrifying collapse was 1,134. There were also 2,500 people who suffered injuries, and it took one whole month to carry out rescue operations. Located in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Savar Building was a garment factory built by businessman Sohel Rana. Not only did he falsify deeds, he also intimidated co-owners to build the factory so he could pad his pockets. The Plaza was built in 2006. In April of 2013, an explosion happened in the building. The engineer who was called in to assess the damage immediately demanded everyone evacuate but Rana refused to let the workers leave. The factory collapsed the day after. Rana faced murder charges but the trial is still pending.

The Denver Airport Baggage Handling System In 2005
The Denver International Airport Baggage Handling System was a computerized system which completely failed, caused delays, and damaged customers’ bags for months. It was introduced in 2005 and scrapped in the same year. The system was supposed to replace airport workers but software failures caused baggage claim to eat passengers’ luggage. Apparently, the network designers underestimated the project’s complexity and didn’t include recovery capacity and backup. The system couldn’t cope with failures. It also couldn’t reboot.
