I enjoyed this show it was very interesting classic disaster documentary if you are into a show like that i would fully recommend it a little history with engineering disasters

Just discovered this show while laid up from some more surgeries and thus happy there are plenty of new-to-me episodes. The engineering marvel"-type shows can be OK but sometimes, branch into too much tech, so I watch those to ease into sleepytime/clear the mind from the aggravation and often horrors of the day (just looking at the things posted on my FB sites alone can keep anyone up nights- NOT a tech whiz, but rather, an animal atty and LT animal rescuer.

...Also, while some folks think watching these kinds (incl airplane crash shows/videos), & true crime shows can be maudlin, we ALL know awful things happen, so for ME, I am happy to see when a load of professionals get to the bottom of things AND prevent many other loss of souls from murderers to horribly maintained planes, etc. Of course, I am selective about the true crime shows to make sure the evil ones get locked up, no child/young folk murders, etc. BC THEN, for me, THAT would be too awful to watch, esp on a regular basis. BTW, the newer crime shows use a LOT more videos, and many use multiple cases in one show and thus are far better to watch...no more spending or scrolling past 22 minutes of commercials each hour while they stretch the show to an hour of repetitive discussions about the vic...show me more HOW they caught and convicted the perp, incl footage of the perp, how impressive it is that seemingly everything is on camera, where you see how the case would not have been solved without it, such as if this happened before everyone has cameras AND quality ones.

My 8 year old grandson tells me that he wants to be a structural engineer when he graduates from school. His interest in engineering stems from his obsession with building Legos 'structures' for many years, faithfully following the step by step instructions. He tackled one kit for 16+ this Christmas. I have him watching Engineering Disasters episodes as long as his interest persists. I tell him that you must learn from the mistakes made by others, rather than by making the mistakes yourself. Future studies and profession should be determined by one's interest in the subject material. This programming is great for budding engineers that have a lot to learn about engineering. Who knows where their interest may take them in life? Engineers must believe that there is an engineering solution to every problem, as did Edison and Tesla.

Interesting show but the repetitious opinions of the "experts" is annoying. Show us the disaster and what can be done about it. Conspiracy theories are irritating. Of course this will shorten the show to twenty minutes long.

Reviewing each case is interesting and informative. Were there no structural, chemical engineers available to provide critique/analysis on these events? Neuroscientists, physicists and social workers are smart people, but trotting them out to offer expert commentary on the subject matter is ridiculous and discredits the investigative process undertaken in the making of the episodes. Too bad.
