Engineering Disasters

An enormous explosion shakes a small town in Texas to the core; a building demolition goes terribly wrong in Philadelphia; a bridge in Washington collapses and sends cars down into the river.

A 72-oil-car runaway train crashes, levelling half a town and killing 47 people; 33 miners in Chile are trapped almost half a mile underground.

An unbelievable storm of the century contributes to nine dams breaking in Colorado, leaving thousands stranded as whole towns are flooded; a natural gas line breaks and reduces a whole neighbourhood to ashes.
