Rising from the ashes of Brazil museum national fire Chapter 2. 🔥
more than 18 million objects and specimens. Along with a variety of other recent fossil discoveries, the Museum also housed many of the world's best-preserved pterosaur fossils. Quantification of additional losses has started, yet in many respects, the destruction was, and is incalculable.When I learned of the fire, I was inconsolable.The loss of the collections in Rio affects everyone with an interest in the globe, its histories, and cultures, not only Brazilians or those who work in museums today.

the reasons why the Titanic had insufficient lifeboats chapter 2.
At the time the Titanic was constructed, it was advised that all passenger ships should be able to stay afloat if any two adjacent compartments were flooded.Sam Halpern, an engineer and longtime Titanic researcher, was the subject of a conversation with me. He produced this graphic using information from a 1996 forensic investigation of the Titanic's design. He demonstrated to me how the ship was designed to remain afloat in situations where up to four neighboring compartments flooded. The important thing was to maintain the ship's level so that the waterline wouldn't rise above the bulkheads and flood into the other compartments.
