The Wahine disaster could have been prevented through better weather forecasting and communication, as the vessel encountered severe conditions that were not adequately anticipated. Enhanced safety protocols, including more rigorous training for the crew on emergency procedures, could have also mitigated the impact of the storm. Additionally, implementing stricter regulations regarding navigation during adverse weather could have helped avoid the perilous situation entirely. Finally, ensuring the ship was equipped with more robust safety equipment could have improved the chances of survival for passengers and crew.
how could apartheid have been prevented.
The Skylab disaster could potentially have been prevented with better monitoring and maintenance of the space station, which would have identified any issues leading up to the event. Improved communication and oversight from mission control could have also helped to address the problems that ultimately led to the accident.
The Mexican oil spill could have been prevented. All oil spills could have been prevented if it weren't for careless people! An automatic switch should have been installed on the inside of the pipe.
This is an unanswerable question. There is no way to count "deaths that could have been prevented," let alone deaths that could have been prevented by an indirect correlate.
The thalidomide disaster could have been prevented by conducting more thorough preclinical and clinical testing to assess its safety and efficacy, particularly its potential to cause birth defects. Stronger regulations and oversight from governing bodies could have also helped prevent the tragedy by ensuring stricter approval processes for new medications. Additionally, greater transparency in reporting and communicating potential risks associated with thalidomide use could have helped raise awareness and prevent widespread harm.
No
Yes, it is very likely that the planes crashing into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon could have been prevented.
The fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory could certainly have been prevented with the knowledge and procedures we use today. Its death toll could have been reduced if the doors had not been locked and the switchboard on the 9th floor had been in operation. Whether the fire could have been completely prevented with the technology and procedures of the day is an open question that can never be completely answered.
This disaster was hard to prevent or been avoided, in the 1950's there were no track circuits, and the main of the north island still used tablet signalling. the train driver had been flagged down by a passing motorists, and evidence found that the train driver had applied the brakes at least 200 metres before the bridge. today warning systems have been installed to prevent this type of disaster from occurring again.
Yes.
maybe
It couldn't. Cyclones are a natural weather phenomenon which cannot be prevented or controlled.
