In this episode of Massive Engineering Mistakes, we travel to the frontlines of structural failure. We begin with the harrowing story of the Oroville Dam in California, where a failing spillway nearly triggered a catastrophic wall of water, forcing the mass evacuation of 180,000 residents. We then cross the Atlantic to Stuttgart, Germany, to investigate a multi-billion euro railway project struggling against unpredictable rock formations that expand when wet. But the oversights aren't always underground. We explore why Scotland’s iconic Forth Road Bridge started to snap from the inside out and how a standard car park in Liverpool became a "domino effect" disaster, destroying 1,300 vehicles due to outdated design regulations. Join our experts as they break down the science of these calamities, proving that in the world of mega-builds, there’s no such thing as a small mistake.
