Answer 2: The disasters that were chosen were selected for reasons that include: influence on engineering as a whole, how interesting they were, and how devastating they when they occurred.

Question 3: Did you notice any similarities between the causes for each failure?

Answer 3: The one major similarity that is evident within all of the disasters is that the builders of the structures are overlooking an aspect that eventually leads to their failure. The aspects that were ignored include: aerodynamics, melting points of pivotal structures, natural disasters striking the structure, temperature fluctuations, and improper materials.

Question 4: Did the disasters have any impacts stemming from them?

Answer 4: Every disaster had an impact on future events whether it was the spread of disease, the creation of new laws to prevent the disaster from repeating itself, or the destruction of the natural environment surrounding the disaster area.
