Product Description

These programs also pay homage to the pinnacles of human achievement, from the Chrysler Building to the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge. MODERN MARVELS profiles these amazing historic turning points through interviews with the builders and dreamers who created high-tech devices and man-made wonders and exclusive archive footage to analyze what has gone wrong and what s held up over the ages. This gripping collection takes an incisive look at the catastrophic failures that stunned the world--from the Union Carbide explosion to Hurricane Katrina. From awe-inspiring buildings and life-changing technological innovations to the most terrible engineering disasters of our time, MODERN MARVELS goes behind the scenes of the world s most spectacular creations and its biggest failures. Celebrating ingenuity on a grand scale and accepting failures as stepping stones to a brighter future, MODERN MARVELS offers an exciting look at invention and imagination brought to life. In this 14-disc set, the acclaimed series examines history from every conceivable angle, from the designers behind the world s architectural masterpieces and the biggest engineering failures to greatest inventions and the worst disasters.
