This is a great DVD - NEW & SEALED - by the History Channel titled "MODERN MARVELS - ENGINEERING DISASTERS 13". The DVD has an approx. length of 50 minutes and includes the following disasters: 1 )Building 7, WTC: It caught on fire and collapsed 7 hours after the South Tower. Experts theorize that insulation may have been knocked off beams from the shock of tower pieces impact. Fortunately, everyone had been evacuated, and there were no injuries. Its replacement building will have 5X the required fireproofing and 20% wider stairs. 2)Love Canal: Hooker Chemical Co. poured toxic waste into the short canal for 10+ years, beginning in 1942. The canal was then filled in, and used as a new school's playground. New area residents became aware of the problem in 1977 (wet year) when chemicals began oozing out throughout the area. Eventually the school and about 500 homes were demolished, and the area covered with a waterproof cover. About $250 million has been spent to date cleaning up the site. 3)Coconut Grove: A deadly fire raced through the Boston club November 28, 1942 when about 1,000 people were packed into a former two-story storage area without sprinklers. The fire began in the basement (cigarette lit too close to a synthetic tree), and exits were either locked, inward opening, or a small revolving door that quickly jammed. The synthetic materials are believed to have created a poisonous gas that left many sitting as though they were still alive. 4)Patriot Missile Software Error: Patriot missiles were deployed in Gulf I to protect Saudi Arabia, Israel, and American soldiers in the area. The Patriot missiles had been designed to shoot down aircraft - faster missile targets led to an unanticipated rounding error that prevented the Patriot radars from tracking the much faster missiles. Unfortunately, the last one fired then exploded amongst a group of American soldiers. 5)Providence Public Housing Demolition: May 1989 was the date that Providence, R.I. was to demolish a large former public housing building. The first implosion effort rattled the building but did little else. Engineers decided the problem was that the building was being supported by iron staircases at each end. Thus, a second attempt focused on those staircases. This time the building sank about ten feet, and then the sections leaned over into each other and remained largely upright. The job had to be completed with a wrecking ball.
