The error in the calculations and the contamination of vast territory
In 1954, Bikini Atoll was tested a nuclear bomb, the explosion which was 2.5 times the size of the estimated 15 megatons instead of 6 most likely.
The error was the fault of the designers of the bombs that decided that lithium-7 present in the bomb, will be inactive.

Defective wine and Dom Perignon
In the mid-seventeenth century Benedictine monk Pierre Perignon studied ways to remove the bubbles from the wine, which was made in his monastery. According to monk, the bubbles generated during fermentation, making the wine base, and exploding barrels drink quite often.

Recovering in the castle after several operations, he asked me to bring him the romances, which the local library was not there. Instead, he brought the work entitled "the Life of Jesus Christ" and one that "lives of the saints".
In the words of Loyola, reading these books opened the "unfathomable world", and gradually the brave knight started to see more and more immersed in religion. After 19 years, iñigo has organized and became head of the Jesuit order, who played a major role in the revival in Europe of the Catholic faith after the reformation.
The construction of the mill and the California gold rush
January 24, 1848, managing the construction of a sawmill on the river the American river, James W. Marshall discovered in the water wheel of small yellow rocks. He attributed the discovery to his employer John Sutter, who, after checking them, came to the conclusion that this is pure gold. Despite the fact that Sutter wanted to keep the discovery of gold, very soon news of this spread around the country.

The cook got angry in response, cut the potato slices with a thickness of not more paper and fried them in boiling oil. However, a visitor came to the wild delight, and since then the restaurant has a new dish — "Saratoga Chips".
Despite the fact that the recipe for such dishes mentioned in the cookbook, 1817, and George crumb, most likely, is not his inventor, the merit of the popularity of the chips, without a doubt, belongs to him.
The wrong route and the beginning of the First world war
As you know, the reason for the start of the First world war was the assassination of Prince Franz Ferdinand, which occurred in 1914. However, few people know that despite the fact that Gavrilo Princip was one of the conspirators in a crime to kill the Prince he managed by chance.
On the morning of 28 July the Prince arrived in Sarajevo, and on the way to city hall, one of the conspirators threw a grenade, which Franz Ferdinand instinctively threw into a crowd of people. After visiting the town hall he went to visit the victims of the grenade explosion, but the driver to change the route not reported.
When the car rolled into the Franz Joseph street, along which the Prince in the morning went to the town hall, she was noticed standing near the cafe, the Principle that made the first shots of the First world war.

In 1945 Percy Lebaron Spencer for 20 years, worked to develop radar for the American firm Raytheon. One day, while passing through the installation, a radiating high-frequency waves, he noticed that the chocolate in his pocket (according to another version — a sandwich with cheese) melted.
Percy kept his head and bought in the nearest store dry corn that setting immediately turned into popcorn. Then he decided to cook the egg that was safely detonated.
The patent for the first microwave oven, named the Radarange, was received on 8 October 1945. 2 years later, came the first commercial furnace, growth of which reached 180 cm, and weight — 340 lbs. Worth this "unit" of $ 5 000.
Unnecessary blanks and stainless steel
In 1913, English Metallurgist-taught Harry Brierley conducted a study of alloys in the search for the perfect formula of metal for making gun barrels. Unfortunate, in his opinion, harvesting it simply piled in a heap, where they rusted.
One day Harry noticed that one of the castings, made a month ago, unlike the others, it is not Paravel. Brierley sent casting two factory in Sheffield where for several centuries there were factories for the manufacture of knives and Cutlery, but they are not interested in opening it.
Only a year later, Brierley met a school friend, with whom they have invented a way to process the alloy so that it was not fragile. Already in 1916, they managed to get a patent for his invention in the United States.

Fueled rumors and the fact that the original footage, which captured a historic moment, was accidentally destroyed by NASA, liberated films for new videos. Remained only 4 copies transferred at the time of the various broadcasters.
In 2009, Hollywood experts have restored recording available copies, and today they are available to all on the NASA website. However, what was restored in Hollywood and restored it at all, given the possibilities of modern technology, we hardly know.
