Engineering Catastrophes

Why would anyone consult with a bio engineer on a dam failure? Or a freaking nanochemist on the topic of civil engineering? It's insultingly bad, especially when you consider they had a "civil engineer" make some comments on a previous topic of the same episode. Could they not be bothered to have the civil engineer talk about the failure mode of the concrete spillway? Or have the chemist talk about the rusting of bridge supports? But at least they tell us super important things in the narrative. Like Mr. "Physicist," "...for engineers this is bridge heaven" I'm very glad to have had an expert tell me that. Wow. So important to know. Besides the cancerous "experts" the show manages to be a worthwhile watch. The narration is quite well executed and topical, and the technical details of the narrative, while being a bit layman, suffice to document the "catastrophe" in question. Overall, a show worth watching while browsing the internet and there's nothing better on - if you remove the "experts."

Pretty interesting show. All of the content is in the US except for the last part of every episode is in Europe. Every engineer has a unpronounceable name and a heavy foreign accent. Wouldn't it be nice to have American Engineers on an American TV show filmed in America?

Love the show but please discontinue the background music with the narrative, annoying as hell.

I'm not a rocket scientist, but anybody who was around when the Apollo 13 disaster happen knows parts were not used from previous Apollo missions. Absolutely impossible! Why you say? Because only and I do mean only the Command Module comes back to earth! With the astronauts and moon rocks, if any, Everything else is either discarded, ie: first stage, second stage, LEM, in outer space. Or burns up in the atmosphere, take note-THE SERVICE MODULE-.A so called " repurposed part

As an engineer with 35 years experience, I find their "experts" both laughable and horribly cast.
