 * Engineering Disasters with Bill Saunders **

Bill Saunders, who spent 50 years working as an engineer in many fields of engineering, shared his research and experience with a very interested group of U3A members recently. Bill used photos, videos and a model he had constructed to explain the reasons and contexts of several well-known engineering disasters from the sinking of the Titanic to the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion. Bill explained to the group how better engineering could have saved the day, and where many valuable lessons were learnt in the hope of avoiding future catastrophes.
