7 Scientific Expeditions Failure this really Ends horribly

We now can indeed enjoy every convenience thanks to the scientists in the past. As the first person to experiment and expedition, they face many risks that are not uncommon to also harm.

Behind every invention from the amazing expedition, there is planning, hard work, and the dangers that follow. Planned expedition with mature only still at risk of experiencing a failure. What else is already beginning with errors and failures since the beginning?

1. Searching for ' Z '

Wild forest inhabited by Jaguars, poisonous snakes, hostile local population, disease, and other hazards will surely need a preparation that can not be indiscriminate. But somehow what was in the mind of an archaeologist and Explorer Percy Fawcett until he went into the wilderness.

He is convinced that there is a lost city hidden in the Western wilderness of Brazil. According to him, the city is full of gold and important secret of human civilization. In 1925, instead of hiring a local guide, he and the boy friend and her son went into the forest alone. Since that time, the three of them were never seen again.

2. North Pole expedition S.A. Andrée

A hot air balloon with a steering system that created its own plan would bring an engineer, physicist, aeronaut and Polar Explorer, Salomon August Andrée from Sweden to the North Pole via Russia or Canada. However, this system was not functioning and quite dangerous. It gets worse again, Andrée never test the balloon prior to jetting and refused to change the plan even though it knew that the balloon basket is too full of scientific equipment.

The year 1897, Andrée finally set out with two friends. 10 hours 29 minutes later, he made contact with the Mainland before crashing 41 minutes later. No one was injured in the crash, but it didn't bring the Andrée equipment or clothing to survive. After three months at the North Pole and walking to the island of Kvitøya, they died.

3. Soyuz 1

In 1967, a space expedition was at its peak, but Russia has yet to send astronauts again within 2 years. Soyuz 1 spacecraft, is a program designed to send astronauts into space for Vladimir Komarov. The plan, Soyuz 2 also will force the next day before the Soyuz 1 sent home back to Earth. Furthermore, the Mission of Soyuz 2 coupled with the Soyuz 1 fix the damage in space.

But because there was a storm, Soyuz 2 and Soyuz 1 launched void returned back to Earth without repairs. That's when the fateful events occurred on Soyuz 1. The combination of damage to the machine, the main parachute failed to open, and the reserve parachute incurred makes it crashed directly hit the Earth with astronaut Komarov is in it. Before the departure of the Soyuz 1 flight test, apparently proving the number of failures and more than 200 design errors that are reported by the technicians, but the mission still continues.

4. Burke dan Wills

The year 1860, a club the Melbourne scientists and the businessman decided to fund an expedition to the heart of the continent unexplored Australia to study the flora and fauna there and found the road reached the Gulf of Carpentaria. But instead of looking for experienced cavers to lead the expedition, they instead choose a man who simply does not have the capability of surviving in the wild and have no reason, Robert O'Hara Burke.

Along with William John Wills and 19 men, Burke went to the outback. But he admits even insignificant items like bath, a desk of wood oak, and a short bench. Burke, Wills, and other 2 men managed to get to the destination, but they begin to lack of food and supplies on the way home. Burke and Wills died of starvation. While the 7 other men died in the expedition and only 1 person who survived returned to Melbourne.

5. Terra Nova Expedition

In 1910, Robert Falcon Scott and four other do the expedition to be the first person to reach the South Pole. But in 1912, they just know that their team lost 1 month with a team of Norway. The team has experienced many difficulties since the beginning of the load carrier horse like the bad, the food supply was lost because of the storm, and lack of knowledge about nutrition.

Then they don't know that vitamin C could prevent scurvy disease characterized by weakness, anemia, gingivitis, and bleeding skin. Even the planned meal rations turned out to be less than half the required amount of calories. Finally on the way home the whole members died of the cold, exhaustion, and starvation.

6. Amelia Earhart

As a figure of female emancipation, Amelia Earhart was not satisfied with just being the first person to circumnavigate the Earth. He intends to take the longest route, namely in the area of Equator with distance 40070 km. it intended to contribute record, in science, and publish his book.

Although the aircraft were modified with the fuel tank, the route taken Earhart is a very difficult field. She disappeared in 1937 while trying to complete the journey as far as 4 thousand kilometers from New Guinea to Howland Island. The society believes that the fuel shortage was the cause his ship was wrecked and sunk without a trace. The expedition was then referred to as the expedition with bad planning and implementation that much worse.

7. Challenger

In 1986, bad weather and warnings from NASA disregarded, and the space shuttle Challenger was launched anyway. Just 73 seconds after departure, the aircraft exploded and its offshoots are sunk in the Atlantic Ocean. While initially some of the seven crew members survived at the beginning of the breakup of the plane, the absence of self rescue system to get out of the plane ended up killing all the crew in the plane.

Administrators know the likelihood of fatal errors result in O-ring, this error resulting from damage to a chain which caused this accident. But they did not mention this issue and did not convey the concerns of the technicians at the leadership. As a result, the Challenger mission, killing the entire crew on board the plane.

An expedition was already supposed to be prepared carefully and seriously. Especially if aiming to go wild. Actually this kind of preparation is also important not only to the scientific expedition, even for a tourist destination to the wild, need preparation and vigilance. We never know what might happen, therefore, every sign, errors, or damage the slightest noteworthy.
