Mr. Boisjoly's warning
Spoke up prior to the Challenger disaster of 1986, when he predicted the weakness of O-rings in cold weather. He was ignored, and disaster struck.
AB Jones' Watch-Out
Tried to warn superiors that the vessel Exxon Valdez was off-course in 1989. The captain didn't react, resulting in the second-largest oil spill in US history.
Cpt. Blower speaks up
Years before the RORO MS Herald of Free Enterprise went down killing 193 people in 1987, Captain Blower stressed the lack of routines. Nobody listened.
