"On October 20, 1987, at 0911, the control tower at the Indianapolis Airport was advised by the pilot of an A-7D Corsair single-engine military aircraft of an intended emergency landing due to engine failure. The Airport Fire Department began its normal response to set up on the intended runway. Due to low weather ceiling and poor visibility the plan overshot the intended runway, circled the airport and attempted to fly to an alternate runway. The fire department, having seen this, attempted to follow the aircraft."

U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series: Schomburg Plaza Fire
"A fire originating in the compactor chute of a 35-story high-rise apartment building in the Harlem area of New York City caused the deaths of seven building residents. Several code enforcement and fire department operational problems may have contributed to the loss. [...] The U.S. Fire Administration commends FDNY for their outstanding post-mortem investigation conducted under technically difficult and politically embarrassing circumstances. The fire was tragic and the losses could have been prevented. By their investigation the FDNY has done much to help prevent similar losses in the future. The investigation also may serve as a model for other post-mortems."
