Theme: ''The consequences of making hasty decisions''
Should Have Seen It Coming
During the 1982 war in the Falkland Islands between England and Argentina, the Royal Navy's 3,500-ton destroyer HMS Sheffield was sunk by a single missile fired from an Argentine fighter jet. It caused some people to wonder if modern surface warships were obsolete, sitting ducks for today's sophisticated missiles. But a later check revealed that the Sheffield's defenses did pick up the incoming missile, and the ship's computer correctly identified it as a French-made Exocet. But the computer was programmed to ignore Exocets as ''friendly.'' The Sheffield was sunk by a missile it saw coming and could have evaded.

The Day Mount St. Helen's Blew
Many residents of the state of Washington remember exactly where they were and what they were doing on the morning Mount St. Helen's blew wide-open. The shock wave rattled windows for hundreds of miles around. Prior to the eruption, scientists monitoring the peak didn't know when it would go off or how big the blast would be. But all the signs of a live volcano were evident. It was just a matter of time. Local media issued warnings and faithfully reported St. Helen's vital signs. But as time elapsed and the big eruption did not occur, people became less wary and bolder. Campers, photographers, and others moved in to get a closer look. Then on May 18, 1980, the mountain that had been dormant since 1857 spewed ash skyward and killed at least thirty people. They had failed to heed warnings, and they died needlessly.
