Tonight on the HISTORY channel's "Modern Marvels", they
will do a segment
on a tower collapse as well as some other fantastic
engineering failures.
Towers are DANGEROUS and you should watch this if you
have a chance!

Engineering Disasters 5
Examines some of the most notorious engineering
failures of recent years
and asks what went wrong and what we learned from them.
We take viewers to
the southern coast of Louisiana, where a misplaced
oilrig caused an entire
lake to be sucked into an underground salt mine; review
the 1972 Buffalo
Creek dam disaster; revisit the Exxon Valdez oil spill;
see how radio and
TV antenna towers collapse with alarming regularity;
and look at the
collision of 2 California icons--freeways and
earthquakes! TV PG
