The Rational Approach is when an engineer, while developing an evacuation plan, sets building on fire;

The Survivorship Bias is when the engineer looks at places where people are climbing out, and not to where those who were unable to get out were stuck;

The Fundamental Attribution Error is when we call the poor preparedness of the rescue service as the cause of the disaster is;
