@amazeifystore: A 6mm weld took down an entire oil rig. 🏗️ The Alexander Kielland disaster is a chilling reminder that there is no such thing as a minor detail in engineering. A tiny hydrophone mount weld caused a fatigue crack that eventually snapped a massive D-6 brace. It is like a hairline fracture in a prosthetic leg taking down a runner. We often ignore non-structural additions, but they always have structural consequences. What is the smallest mistake you have seen lead to a massive failure? 👇 #engineering #welding #failureanalysis #offshore #safetyfirst #mechanicalengineering #industrialdesign #History #structuralengineering #oilandgas #disaster #engineeringfails
