What is the "world's worst building"?
Why does the Leaning Tower of Pisa lean?
What was learned at Ronan Point?
When a building or structure fails, the consequences can be disastrous. This book counts down some disasters and problems and shows how many of them led to better safety standards. Find out about a twisting bridge nicknamed "Galloping Gertie", the devastating MGM Grand Hotel fire, the amazing St Francis Dam collapse, and many more episodes from construction history.
