This report looks at three serious systemic failures in engineering and finance domains among the history, including the Disaster of Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003, the Japanese asset bubble in late 1980s and the explosion of Deepwater Horizon in 2010.

Whereas Japan’s fault lies with the increasing land prices due to investment, in which created a land bubble that eventually would burst. With the United
