Abstract

Whenever we hear of an accident elsewhere we are eager to learn what happened and what recommendations have been made to prevent it happening again. However, we can learn as much from past accidents that have been forgotten or were never widely reported. Some such accidents are described, including entry to confined spaces, the collapse of a gasholder and the collapse of a tank for an unusual reason.
