If we know how and where to look closely, we can find a number of dynamics, dilemmas, and sacrifices that people make in handling incidents. In this talk, we'll highlight a few of these often-missed aspects of incidents, what makes them sometimes difficult to notice, and give some descriptive vocabulary that we can use when we do notice them in the future.
