Abstract
Humankind's dreams of progress result in creative and increasingly complex technological wonders. But dreams often turn to nightmares. The attitudinal and organizational causes of several tragedies are explored, and a management and design attitude expressed by Petroski (1985) is examined as illustrative of these causal factors. Liability in courts of law is suggested as society's conscience mechanism for correction, and a challenge to the human factors profession is expressed.
