Collapse

image

The makers of Black Box and Blaze set out once more to enthral us with tales of man-made disaster, turning their attention to world-famous building projects that have ended in tragedy.

A building, once erected, could stand for years until design features, construction method and conditions combine to trigger a collapse. Apparently, harmless circumstances interact with structure and materials in unexpected ways. The result is catastrophe. Filmed in the proven Black Box style, Collapse features an attention-grabbing mixture of story-led human interest and painstaking scientific sleuthing. It follows each tragic story through until the cause is revealed and the lesson for the future learned.
