Fatal Engineering

Aviation disasters like TWA Flight 800, the Kegworth crash, and Japan Airlines Flight 123 show how thin the line is between safety and catastrophe.

Bridge collapses have etched hard lessons into the history of engineering. Tacoma, Minneapolis, Genoa -- symbols of innovation that have become stark reminders of what happens when flaws go unchecked.

When dams break, devastation follows. Derna, Malpasset, Brumadinho -- three disasters that turned engineering failures into mass tragedies.

Built for thrills, but not immune to tragedy -- roller coasters can turn deadly in an instant. Battersea, Dreamworld, Gröna Lund: three parks, three fatal flaws. Even in a high-tech world, one misstep is all it takes for fun to become fatal.

From Seoul to London to Bangladesh, structures meant to shelter became symbols of neglect. Collapses at Sampoong and Rana Plaza. An inferno at Grenfell. How many lives must be lost before safety becomes a priority?

Windscale, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl: three nuclear disasters that exposed design flaws, the potential for human error, and the razor-thin margin of error. When the atom slips out of control, a tool built for progress becomes a force of devastation.
