The analysis of engineering failures enables engineers to learn how to create designs with a greater chance of success, by establishing the nature of each failure—structural, corrosive, electrical, etc. The database includes:
feature-length video documentaries of major failures;
monographs explaining cases in detail and describing key engineering concepts and issues;
simulations depicting what went wrong; primary footage of accidents (including related news segments);
audio footage and transcripts;
testimonies from participants, victims, and witnesses;
images, accident reports, blueprints, etc.
Over 50 seminal case studies from around the world are covered in depth.
