Murphy's law

According to the "Murphy Laws Site", the rule was born during an Air Force project in 1949. An engineer in chief that carried a list of principles listened to Edward A. Murphy scolding a worker who had made a mistake with some wires: ""If there is any way to do it wrong, he'll find it." The engineer wrote it down under the title Murphy's law. Latter on, when giving a press conference, John Paul Stapp said to reporters that the project was doing great because they followed Murphy's rule: "If anything can go wrong, it will". They published it, air industry picked it up and the law took off. The video above presents diverse instances of Murphy's law.
