The Baltimore Bridge Collapse: What Happened and the Lessons Learned. Construction failure or accident? Could it be avoided today?

Dive deep into the catastrophic Baltimore Bridge Collapse, where the Francis Scott Key Bridge met a devastating fate. On March 26, 2024, a massive container ship lost control and crashed into the bridge, leading to its collapse into the Patapsco River. This tragedy not only claimed the lives of several construction workers but also raised critical questions about the safety and resilience of our infrastructure. Explore what happened, why it happened, and the lessons we can draw from this monumental failure.

Our documentary extends beyond Baltimore to examine a series of other alarming bridge collapses and construction failures around the world. We analyze the Morandi Bridge Collapse in Italy, the Lotus Riverside Complex Collapse in Shanghai, the Surfside Condominium Collapse in Florida, and the historical Hyatt Regency Hotel Collapse. Each of these incidents provides insights into the failures that led to these disasters and the subsequent changes in safety protocols and engineering practices. Learn how these events have shaped current standards and what more can be done to prevent future catastrophes.

Could these catastrophic construction failures have been avoided with today's advanced engineering practices and stricter safety standards? What do you think could have been done differently?
