I think that any of us who have worked for even a little while are instantly drawn to the the story of the Vasa. It's not a question of WHY it happened, it's really probably just a question of why it doesn't happen more often! Chris: I’ve read your post — nicely done!

It''s a brilliant museum, a must see for anyone visiting Stockholm. Great to see someone else recognise what a brilliant lesson it is for all of us Product Managers!

I can understand where things went wrong, but boy-o-boy would a ship with that many cannons have been cool to have (oh, I guess that's what caused the problem in the first place!)

Despite the fact that it came out in '98, I can't remember ever hearing about this TV movie (even though it appears to have won a Primetime Emmy). Looks like it's time for me to dust off the NetFlix subscription and add yet another movie to it...! Carol: Thanks for the link!
