Big engineering Boo Boo!

I saw this 1980 disaster a few years ago on the history channel and mentioned it to numerous people who never heard about it so I thought you guys would find it interesting. There have been worse engineering screw-ups involving loss of life whereas this was is notable for the fact that nobody even suffered serious injuries. I'm sure you'll agree that the results from a simple miscalculation had pretty spectacular results.
