Is there a name for this specific concept? Where somebody invents something (to do them good) but then that thing turns around and backfires on them?

    Weird seeing Stockton Rush on there when most of the other inventors are pre-20th century.

      I like how Thomas Andrews and Stockton Rush are right next to each other on that list. Kinda poetic.
