Summary
"Built from Disaster" reveals the secrets of the world's most spectacular structures and advanced machines that were developed as a consequence of the lessons learnt from past tragedies, such as the Paddington rail crash and the collapse of the Twin Towers. As well as trains and skyscrapers, bridges, ships, tunnels and stadiums are also put under the spotlight, with each of the six programmes specialising in one of those subjects. Made for the National Geographic channel, the series has also been shown on Channel Five.
