Description:
Engineers make the existence of modern life possible; however, when their calculations fail, the results can be deadly.

From the Colossus of Rhodes and the Egyptian pyramids to the Hoover Dam and the space shuttle, mankind has always celebrated the great work of architects and engineers. But what happens when their designs prove defective? In this captivating program, electrifying film footage and interviews with disaster analysts reveal how some of the most destructive engineering catastrophes from yesterday and today may have been prevented.

From the 1940 collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to the chemical disasters at Chernobyl and the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India, to the well-known tragedy of the Titanic, Engineering Disasters takes a look at some of the most notable - and devastating - engineering mistakes in history.
