There are a few interesting parallels between the sinking of the Titanic and the loss of the Columbia Space Shuttle and her crew. In both cases, there were unheeded warnings. In both cases, the warnings were dismissed, not out of negligence, but for reasons that made sense based on the experience and institutional memory at that moment.
