unknown.
Engineering Catastrophes will profile, investigate, analyze, and find solutions for the world's most unbelievable engineering gaffes. From the hilarious to the mind-boggling, from the deadly to the bank-busting, this series showcases some of the most outrageous structural disasters and the genius resolutions to get things back on track. Blunders explored this season include a waterfront building in England that has created a wind tunnel so strong, pedestrians have been blown over; the Carrier Dome in snowy Syracuse that has a soft top roof requiring workers to climb atop with hot water hoses to prevent collapse every time snow falls; a Brazilian highway that is so close to tall buildings that neighborhood residents are concerned about hearing loss.
Catastrophe strikes as one of America's most vital freeway intersections erupts in flames and completely collapses in San Francisco; experts use the latest science to investigate how an overturned tanker truck spawned a devastating inferno.
A devastating railroad inferno takes down a vital route on a historic river crossing in Arizona; using the latest cutting-edge tech, experts investigate the remaining incinerated evidence to determine what caused such a disastrous derailment.
Tragedy strikes in Cincinnati as a sudden bridge collapse leaves one of America's busiest highways at a complete standstill; using scientific methods, expert engineers investigate and reveal how a routine demolition unfolded so disastrously wrong.
A flash flood catastrophe brings one of America's most vital highways to a complete standstill in the California desert; using scientific methods, expert engineers investigate and discover how its bridge foundations lacked a crucial element.
A catastrophic construction disaster causes a casino parking garage to collapse with fatal consequences in Atlantic City; experts investigate and uncover evidence of missing reinforcements vital for structural stability using the latest science.
A crane disastrously falls across two lanes of traffic during construction work on a landmark bridge in New York City.
An unprecedented cycle of freezing and thawing causes dramatic destruction to a landmark bridge in Pennsylvania; experts investigate and reveal how a sudden surge of icy floodwater buckled pier foundations weakened from years of erosion.
The Genoa bridge collapse takes down a symbolic crossing and becomes one of Italy's deadliest engineering disasters; experts investigate and uncover years of slow deterioration to the structure's heavily corroded concrete-encased cables.
Disaster strikes a new railway bridge as a crane collapses in the middle of major construction in Italy; experts investigate and uncover a compromise in balance with improperly positioned counterweights and a maneuver that resulted in catastrophe.
Tragedy strikes a community when a condominium complex collapses in Miami, resulting in one of the deadliest engineering disasters in American history; experts investigate and reveal potential flaws in the structure's flat slab construction.
