Critiques arose on the camera's 'over-engineered' design, possibly by novices. Using consumer-grade Teensy microcontrollers in deep-sea conditions raises serious questions about reliability & professional oversight. Manufacturer unaware of encryption? Yikes. #EngineeringFails 3/6

Tower Subway (1870): The world’s first deep tube railway ran beneath the Thames—but it was tight, dark, and quickly abandoned. Still, it revolutionized tunnel engineering.

A wheelchair user sits on a bus with a steel bar behind their head. The caption on the photo reads "The wheelchair space on the new bendybus is really crash-safe! What could go wrong?"

Five facts:

1) The steel tube runs directly behind the back of the skull.
2) There is no cushion on the steel tube.
3) Most collisions are front-on.
4) Wheelchair users ride backwards.
5) Some engineer somewhere needs his arse kicked.

I need to have a word with whoever is responsible for matrix LED headlights. Recant your works, commit to smashing every single last assembly and wipe all traces of the design from the record please. If I want to be blinded I'll just stare directly at the Sun. #EngineeringFails
