Modern Marvels: Engineering Disasters
29,49 €
Over 40 of History’s Biggest Engineering Catastrophes.
Throughout history some of mankind's proudest moments have come at the hands of its engineers. But error is inevitable in all human endeavours and when the undertakings are engineering feats of enormous proportions, the smallest mistakes may have devastating consequences. An engineering disaster involving a passenger jet can jeopardise hundreds of innocent people. And if a nuclear or chemical plant is involved, it can mean death for thousands. For the first time in history, engineers now have the power to wipe out entire cities, by mistake.
In 18 thrilling episodes, HISTORY™ dramatises the world’s most notorious engineering failures, from the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina to the sinking of an off-shore oilrig, using state-of-the-art special effects to investigate not only what went wrong, but what can be learned from these spectacular disasters.
