MASSIVE ENGINEERING MISTAKES
6 July
Tuesdays 19h25
Humans have been building for more than 10,000 years - we’re engineering experts and yet every year, tales emerge of constructon calamites from all over the world. From the extraordinary to the ridiculous, this series uncovers the epic fails and near misses engineers would rather not talk about. A skyscraper with a killer secret, a crumbling cathedral and a bridge with a balance problem all make the hitlist of barely believable building blunders… and let’s not forget the original engineering fail, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. With access to design teams, eye witnesses and a panel of experts, we analyse what went wrong with each building blunder, investgate why they went undetected and reveal the lengths engineers go to trying to fx them.

DISASTERS ENGINEERED
6 July
Tuesdays 20h15
Scientsts study the world as it is, politcians debate the world they want, but engineers create the world that has never been. Industrialisaton, water distributon, electrifcaton, automaton and communicaton are all engineered revolutons that have transformed our world and changed every detail of our lives. However, for every future built, there are man-made mistakes that cause catastrophic disasters. Icarus-like moments when our overreaching, greed and desire to conquer the impossible don’t just cost reputatons, but millions of dollars, environmental damage and lives. Chernobyl, Bhopal, Deepwater Horizon, the Titanic, Challenger and the Hindenburg are names not remembered for the great feats of engineering they initally were, but for the horrors that they became. Through extensive archive and expert interviews this series explores the stories behind mankind’s greatest engineering disasters. How and why they happened and what we have learnt from them. Disasters teach us more than successes, every set back ofers an opportunity to move forward and innovate, because the greatest tragedy would be to never try at all.
