Top 5 Costliest Engineering Disasters in History (Billions Lost)

Описание: Engineering is humanity’s attempt to control nature.

But when design assumptions are wrong…
when warnings are ignored…
when safety margins are trimmed…

physics collects the debt.

In this documentary-style breakdown, we count down the Top 5 costliest engineering disasters in history — failures that reshaped cities, destroyed industries, displaced millions, and cost hundreds of billions of dollars in damage, recovery, and long-term consequences.

You’ll discover:

• The underground mega-project that silently burned $22 billion
• The offshore rig failure that poisoned an ocean
• The nuclear plant that underestimated the sea
• The dam that turned rainfall into catastrophe
• And the city protected by walls… until the ground itself failed

These are not just accidents.

They are lessons written in concrete, steel, water, and fire.
