Quotes
- “There are always a few people for whom the most obvious sequences of technical cause and effect have no meaning.”
- “If a ship runs into a large bridge, destroying both the bridge and ship, , it is very difficult to see what either the naval architect or the bridge designer could have been expected to do about it from the structural point of view. The problem is not one for the structural engineer but for the local Pilotage Association. Again, aircraft cannot be designed to be flown into mountains.”
- “The immediate technical cause of was the tearing of the fabric of the outer envelope; this fabric had apparently been embrittled by improper doping treatment. The real reason for the disaster was, however, pride and jealousy and political ambition.”
- “It is confidence which causes accidents and worry which prevents them.”
