Engineering+Disasters

//with Bill Saunders //

 Learn what __really__ sank the unsinkable “Titanic”. Watch a strong wind destroy a bridge. Marvel at Leonardo da Vinci's lost designs that could have saved many lives centuries later. Hear how a cold morning and a failed gasket killed seven Space Shuttle astronauts.

Bill Saunders spent 50 years working as an engineer, and he knows how things work (or ought to work). In this illustrated presentation Bill will take us through some famous disasters where better engineering could have saved the day, and where many valuable lessons were learnt.
