Type Failure of aft cargo door due to design flaws, leading to destruction of hydraulic systems by explosive decompressionKilled all 346 people on boardAssessment: The crash resulted from the rear cargo hatch blowing-off, causing decompression and severing cables that left the pilots with almost no control. The hatches used manual procedures to ensure they were locked correctly. Problems with the hatches had previously occurred. Investigation showed that these procedures were open to abuse, by forcing the handle shut without the pins being in place. It was noted that the pins had been filed down, making it easier to close the door, but leaving it less resistant to pressure. Also a support-plate for the handle-linkage had not been installed, although this work had been signed-off. Finally the latching had been performed by a Moroccan baggage-handler who could not read the relevant notices, in Turkish or English. After the disaster, the latches were re-designed and the locking system significantly upgraded.

The cap and charging port located on the side of the bag snapped off a few days after I started testing it, and so from then on, I had to take the battery out and plug the cord in directly whenever I needed to refuel.Tested by Review: A laptop bag that can charge gadgetsBy Mark Milian, CNN : http://edition.cnn.com/2011/12/01/tech/gaming-gadgets/powerbag-reviewPicture source: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6xKG-mA29AA/Tza7eJLaOcI/AAAAAAAAAsA/hb4HBFKgmMU/s1600/powerbag.jpg

- Picture Source : http://dailyartifacts.com/walmarts-185-billon-dollar-mistakeWhat users say they do and what users actually do are two different things. If I had asked people what they want, they would have said faster horses. Henry FordWalmart took the voice of the customer too literally. Customers answered a Walmart survey and told Walmart that they would prefer less clutter in the stores. Their reaction? "Project Impact" - a major change in strategy and store customer experience - starting in 2008.The result:a $1.85 billon dollar customer experience mistake made by Walmart (a conservative estimate of lost revenue that does not include the hundreds of millions spent on remodeling stores) Source / full article here: http://dailyartifacts.com/walmarts-185-billon-dollar-mistakeThe lesson? There's a difference between what customers say vs. what they do. Understanding the difference can lead to innovation...not understanding it can hit your bottom line, hard USERS DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT

With these intentions, a fish-processing factory was constructed in the area during the 1980s and the herders were trained and hired as fishers and factory workers. The longstanding traditions and nomadic culture of the population were overlooked by the decision-makers at the top and the project was largely implemented without first consulting with the community.Kibera Light bulb example
