Disasters Engineered

Scientists study what is already present in the world, while politicians debate what they would like to change. However, engineers create the world we live in today through industrialization, water distribution, electrification, automation, and communication advancements. These revolutions have transformed society but also lead to catastrophic failures that cause immense damage and loss of life. Examples include: - The tragic events at Chernobyl, Bhopal, Deepwater Horizon, Titanic, Challenger, and Hindenburg. - Each incident resulted from overreach, greed, or a desire to achieve impossible feats, leading to massive environmental destruction and fatalities. This series examines the stories behind some of history's most significant engineering disasters through extensive archive research and expert interviews.
