@amazeifystore: A wheel can look fine and still be failing. ⚠️ The 1998 Eschede disaster revealed a hidden danger: fatigue cracks developing beneath the outer tire of an ICE wheel after repeated loading. When one tire fractured, a derailed car struck a track switch, sending the train off the rails. Fatigue doesn’t always announce itself. What would you inspect first: the wheel surface, the load history, or the inspection method? Comment below and save this for your next failure analysis. #EngineeringFailure #FailureAnalysis #RailwayEngineering #MechanicalEngineering #FatigueFailure #TrainSafety #EngineeringLessons #Eschede #ForensicEngineering #RailSafety
