Blueprint for Disaster

As meticulous as crime scene detectives unravelling a criminal case, forensic engineers investigate and deconstruct the evidence left behind after major engineering disasters – all with the aim of preventing future human tragedy. "Discovery Channel"'S North American Premiere of "Blueprint for Disaster", launching with two back-to-back episodes on Sun., Jan. 9 at 8 p.m.ET/9 p.m. PT, combines live action recreations and CGI (computer-generated imaging) technology to bring international engineering disasters to life.

By Canadian producers, Temple Street Productions, this six-part series examines the scientific failures behind the headlines of a news making accidents, including a building collapse, train derailment, subway fire, cable car crash, shipwreck and crane disaster.
