In this episode of Massive Engineering Mistakes, we’re investigating the hidden flaws that turned ambitious dreams into structural nightmares. We start in Baltimore, where an aging sewer system is quite literally laying waste to a city, before heading to Ireland to see the terrifying moment the Broadmeadow Viaduct gave way beneath a moving train. It’s a masterclass in why ignoring the "weir" beneath the water can lead to a catastrophe of biblical proportions. But the blunders go even deeper. We explore the eerie ruins of Consonno, Italy, an eccentric count's attempt to build a Las Vegas playground that nature reclaimed with a series of devastating landslides. Finally, we visit the "Titanic Estate" in Donegal, where houses stand tall on their piles while the very ground around them vanishes into the peat. Our experts break down the science of subsidence, erosion, and geological oversights that prove one thing: if you fight nature, nature always fights back. Join us for a professional yet gripping dive into the world’s most fascinating engineering fails.
