Product Description:

More questions about the modern world are answered in this installment in the History Channel's MODERN MARVELS series. ENGINEERING DISASTERS examines how failures in engineering partly led to large-scale catastrophes such as Hurricane Katrina, but also looks at how huge improvements have been made in the aftermath of such events. The show draws on some impressive computer technology to illustrate how these failures in engineering have occurred, and also uses state-of-the-art animation to demonstrate how engineers have worked to make the modern world a safer place. Eighteen episodes from the show are included here.
