Massive Engineering Mistakes

Balance on a knife’s edge as a crucial bridge is left hanging over a canyon on California’s Pacific Coast Highway. Investigate a high-speed train disaster in Germany, a Vegas casino inferno, and a sinking feeling in an Australian apartment building.

Aim high to see what brought down an iconic space telescope in Puerto Rico and a high-rise construction project in Virginia. Then look into the mysterious destruction of a UK roadway and watch a ship topple a bridge in the US state of Georgia.

Delve into the factors that cause a Manhattan tower crane to crash-land across two city blocks, and watch as an inferno threatens a historic Pennsylvania bridge. Inspect a failed Idaho dam and a terrifying near miss on a busy road in Madrid, Spain.

Feel shock waves as a key bridge crumbles in Pennsylvania and massive explosions shake a Nevada rocket-fuel plant. Then sniff out the causes of a tragedy on a packed Australian commuter train and the collapse of a small-town Nebraska factory.

Go up against Mother Nature with a dam that’s not ready for the challenge, then examine the caved-in roof at a German ice rink. Follow a toxic wave’s path through a Tennessee town and learn why an iconic Canadian bridge suddenly failed.

Experience the pain as flames consume a Scottish national treasure, then witness historic flooding in a New Zealand farming area. Track the source of a fatal leak at a Texas chemical plant and ponder a titanic disaster at a Nebraska TV tower.
