An example of failure due to inattention to details

1, Jing ke pricks Qin

Jing Ke's immediate plan is in place, everything is ready, and things are progressing as expected. But in the end, it was found that the dagger that killed the king of Qin was very short and missed, so he was caught by the king of Qin. If the dagger were two inches longer, the ending would be different.

The king was overthrown by horseshoe nails.

In the early morning of the decisive battle with Henry, King Richard of England asked a blacksmith to nail the palm of his war horse, but because of the lack of iron pieces, the last palm lacked a nail. Due to the lack of this horseshoe nail, the horseshoe of the horse fell off in the charge, and Richard III fell to the ground with his horse. Unexplained soldiers mistakenly thought that the king was shot by an arrow and turned to flee for life. The injured Richard III finally died.

3. The consequences of the button A military exercise in the 1950s.

The cause of the plane crash turned out to be a button on the pilot's clothes. At the moment when the plane took off, a button on the pilot's clothes fell into the instrument, and the instrument could not work normally, which affected the work of other parts and eventually led to the destruction of the plane.

4, the embankment of a thousand miles, collapsed in the ant nest

There is a village on the bank of the Yellow River. In order to prevent floods, farmers built towering long dams. One day, an old farmer happened to find that the nest suddenly increased a lot. He was going to report back to the village and met his son on the way.

Hearing this, the old farmer's son disagreed and immediately went to the fields with the old farmer. It was stormy that night, and the water of the Yellow River soared. The roaring river began to penetrate from the ant nest, then sprayed, and finally washed away the long embankment and flooded large areas of villages and fields along the coast.

5. Two parts of the plane crashed1986 65438+1On October 28th, the space shuttle Challenger suffered a tragedy in Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA. The direct cause of the crash was a problem at the joint of two components on the right rocket engine, specifically, the seal ring at the joint was damaged, which led to the crash of the space shuttle.

6. When the rescue boat sent by Hai Shun Ocean Shipping Company of Brazil arrived at the accident site, the seagoing vessel "ring the atlantic" had disappeared, and the whereabouts of 2/kloc-0 crew members were unknown. Only one life-saving radio station on the sea rhythmically sent out a distress signal.

Rescuers looked at the calm sea in a daze. No one could understand what happened in this place with excellent sea conditions, which led to the sinking of this state-of-the-art ship. At this time, someone found a sealed bottle tied under the radio station, opened the bottle, and there was a note inside.

7. Being small is the only way to be big.

Two fishermen heard that conchs were specially sold in the market and went out to pick them up early in the morning. The young fisherman thought, "My eyes are good and my legs and feet are neat. Compared with the old one, I will definitely get a lot. I must choose the big one. "

An old man and a young man, two fishermen began to pick up conch. As long as the old fisherman sees the conch, he picks it up like a treasure. Young people always curl their lips and say to themselves, "He wants to be that small. It's not worthwhile to bend his back once! "

In a short time, the old man's bag was less than half, while the young man's bag was still soft and collapsed. The young man still said disdainfully, "That's nothing! I walk fast and my eyes are sharp. As long as you find a place with many conchs, you can pick up more when you bend over. "

In this way, the young fisherman walked for a long time, but he never found many big conchs. There is only one point in his bag, which is the harvest that he is unwilling to bend over several times, and the old man's bag is already bulging.

In the evening, two people went back together and met another fisherman. The man asked, "Where are there many conchs?" The old fisherman replied cheerfully, "How many! A lot! You see, I have picked up so much in one day! " At the same time, the voice of the young fisherman also mixed in: "Where is the conch?" There are only a few scattered places in one place, which is not worth picking up! "
