Plot Synopsis

Teams of engineers and designers sift through the wreckage of a disaster to recreate the incident, identify what failed and determine how to prevent it in the future. This process yielded some of the world's most advanced design technologies and sparked critical changes in construction practices. "Built from Disaster" presents some well-known catastrophes -- from the Paddington Rail Crash to the collapse of the Twin Towers -- and documents the lessons learned.
