| ln MiIwaukee, 104 died after drinking contaminated tap water. At Texas A&M, a tradition turned tragic when a pile of bonfire Iogs coIlapsed onto its buiIders. Thousands of U.S. soldiers expired in known WWll deathtraps--Sherman Tanks. In 1973, 14 men working on a 26-story building died when supports were removed from wet concrete. And in 1993, Denver's "dream" airport became a nightmare when its baggage-handIing system ran amok. Aided by computer graphics, catastrophe footage, and visits to the locations today, MIT scientists, Center for Disease ControI experts, WWIl vets, bonfire builders, and construction engineers explain these tragedies and measures taken to prevent them in future. |
