A fascinating article on machine breakdowns

On this site we focus on human mistakes and failures, but this Wired Magazine article ("Why Things Fail: From Tires to Helicopter Blades, Everything Breaks Eventually") has really cool insights around how machines eventually fail and how companies deal with these imperfections. There are some analogies to how we can engineer our own personal processes to deal with eventual breakdowns.
