The Challenger explosion is taught in engineering school as an example of how not to communicate safety concerns. If you go through the presentation, it's terrible: they basically presented raw data in chronological order using an irrelevant infographic when they should have been showing a trend between o-ring failure and temperature. While in hindsight we know that management should have been more cautious, I could not possibly blame them for being unconvinced by such a poorly communicated argument.
