FRACASOS DE LA INGENIERIA
Chernóbil:
A la 1:23 horas del 26 de abril de 1986 se produjo unaccidente en la cuarta unidad de la central electronuclear de Chernóbil, situada en el territorio de ucrania, unión soviética, que condujo a la destrucción del núcleo del reactor y parte del edificio en el cual este se encontraba ubicado. Grandes cantidades de material reactivo fueron liberadas al medio ambiente alcanzando grandes alturas en la atmosfera como resultado del fuego que se inició en lainstalación, lo cual complico aún más la situación resultante del siniestro.
Referencia: Chernóbil: la seguridad nuclear y la protección radiológica. (1986). Nucleus, (1), 41-47.
TITANIC:
The article sheds insights into the cause of the sinking of the Titanic. It is said that recent engineering evidence suggests that the Titanic experience a hull failure at the surface and broke into piecesbefore it sunk. Elmer Z. Taylor, a surviving passenger of the ill-fated liner, observes the ship's final demise from his lifeboat. He says that the cracking sound he heard then was due to tearing of the ship's plates apart, or that part of the hull below the expansion joints. However, whether Titanic break apart at the surface or sink intact has been debated for decades.

TACOMA NARROWS:
The article reports on the opening of the Tacoma Narrows bridge in Washington State on July 16, 2007. The bridge is called the Galloping Gertie because of its deck's undulations in wind gusts. The original suspension bridge, which was constructed in 1940, collapsed four months after it was officiallyopened to traffic. The construction team built the bridge on the 1940 bridge's caissons which had not been damaged by
the collapse. Its anchorages from the 1940 bridge were also expanded by the engineers so they could be reused. Among the new features added were two 502 feet towers and a 60 feet wide deck with a 33 feet deep truss.

EXITOS DE LA INGENIERÍA
APOLO 11:
The article presents facts about the U.S. Apollo 11 space mission that landed on the moon in 1969. Drinking water on the spacecraft was a product of fuel cells, but the hydrogen filters did not work, which made the water bubbly. Pilot Neil Armstrong nearly ran out of gas while landing the craft. TheAmerican flag that was planted on the surface of the moon was made by Sears.

CANAL DE PANAMA:
El artículo presenta un resumen histórico de los trabajos de expansión del canal de Panamá, con énfasis en la reforma de ampliación aprobada por referéndum popular en2006. El texto hace énfasis en las potencialidades de crecimiento económico de Panamá gracias al aprovechamiento de los recursos del canal, a la par que analiza el valor del canal como infraestructura pública.

EL CONCORDE:
The article discusses the development of Concorde, the firstsupersonic airliner. The airliner was constructed largely for Great Britain to compete with the United States' control of the airline industry. The project, supported by the governments of France and Britain, was largely carried out by the British Airways Corporation (BAC). The airliner was negatively received by the nation's environmental movement.Concorde's relatively high travel costs made it...
