- COMMON USES: Odor decontamination in cars, boats, dumpsters, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, flood and fire affected areas, as well as any cooking, smoking, pet, "musty", or general odors.
- EASY OPERATION: Turn the timer knob. Leave the space. When ozone generation is finished, allow an additional 30 minutes for any residual ozone to revert back to breathable air.

If you’re genuinely curious, Normal Accidents has a whole chapter devoted to maritime accidents. It isn’t the most engaging read, but it certainly does provide a good perspective on high risk technologies.
It’s the cover of one of my favorite books I used in college. I still keep it on my desk. Error Analysis by John Taylor
So, like Mac Job"s Air Disaster series of books then?
The book The Checklist Manifesto talks about how the air travel industry overhauled itself after some high-profile, avoidable disasters. It's fascinating, as is the rest of the book.
On the whole the book basically asks "How do normal people, who make normal mistakes, manage to do incredibly complex things, nearly perfectly, nearly every time?"
A study after the fact found that some of our most used bombs were subject to “accidental” detonation. I forget the bomb but I think it was mounted on a rotary rack on a B-52. If you want to know more read this wonderful book Command and Control.
Another book that covers Chernobyl, as well as dozens of other man-made disasters (like Bhopal, Challenger space shuttle, etc) is "Inviting Disaster" by James Chiles. Fascinating stuff.
This one? I remember it being like what you're talking about.

This image is used in one of my all time favorite textbook covers of all time: Introduction to Error Analysis

If you want a classic example, use the shipping industry.
If this is interesting to you, I recommend the book "Normal Accidents" by Charles Perrow:

That's not a hair dryer, that's a heat gun. They can get up over 1000F, hot enough to burn lots of things...

Great book on the tragedy
This was on the cover of a college text book I had: An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements
You might dig into Normal Accidents, a meta analysis of disasters. It's a staggering overview of million-dollar disasters.
The Wiki summary is also good. He describes the formula for a disaster as a complex, tightly coupled system where failures can lead to catastrophes. (As opposed to, say, a complex, tightly coupled system for allocating resources to farmers.)
