On January 16, 1996, foam insulation caught fire during the construction of the Subaru Telescope on Mauna Kea. Three construction workers died of smoke inhalation and twelve more were hospitalized, at least three of them overnight. One worker was rescued from the observatory's roof by a fire helicopter. Two days later, authorities reported that the fire had apparently been started by a cutting torch.

You should start your response with something like "I'm sure other candidates who are being interviewed possess many strengths and can offer much to this company, however as I don't know these individuals, I can only speak to what I can offer this company", and then respond as suggested in the first answer. By preempting your response in this manner, it will let the interviewer know that you don't make potentially inaccruate assumptions and that you're a team player.
