America has produced brilliant scientists, presidents, engineers, inventors, and business leaders. It has also produced some spectacularly bad decisions. In Part 2, we’re digging into 81 more strange failures, panics, blunders and miscalculations from U.S. history — from Atari burying unsold games in the desert and Los Angeles firing at an enemy that wasn’t there, to nuclear-plant workers using open flames, hotel walkways collapsing over a design change, Kodak seeing the digital-camera future early… and one drilling accident that literally drained a Louisiana lake into a salt mine. Some were individual mistakes. Some were institutional failures. And some survived for years because everyone kept assuming, “It should be fine.” 🇺🇸 Which one made you ask, “How did nobody stop this?” Let us know in the comments.
