2310October 18, 2005"TWA 800"
(TWA Flight 800)
(The Last Flight of TWA 800)		Trans World Airlines Flight 800July 17, 1996Aircraft crash
TWA Flight 800 leaves New York for Paris 80 minutes late. Only 12 minutes into the flight, there are short circuits in electrical wires that cause ignition of vaporised jet fuel in the center fuel tank. The explosion causes the nose of the aircraft to break off. The aircraft continues to disintegrate as it plummets into the sea, killing all 230 on board.
2411November 1, 2005"Paris Train Crash"
(Runaway Train)		Gare de Lyon rail accidentJune 27, 1988Train collision on platform

(Hindenburg Air Ship)		Hindenburg disasterMay 6, 1937Zeppelin crash
The zeppelin LZ-129 Hindenburg approaches the Lakehurst Naval Air Station for landing. Thunderstorms have added static electricity to the zeppelin's skin. It makes two sharp turns as it approaches the air field, something that the Hindenburg was not designed to do. A cable in one of the hydrogen cells snaps and whiplashes the cell. When the landing ropes touch the ground, they are slowly soaked by the light rain falling, and a static spark ignites the hydrogen leak. The zeppelin explodes into an inferno and crashes, killing 35 of the 97 people on board and one ground crew member.
2613December 13, 2005"Puerto Rico Gas Explosion"Humberto Vidal explosionNovember 21, 1996Subterranean explosion
For days, a foul smell hangs around in the Humberto Vidal shoe store in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The smell is caused by leaking propane gas coming from an unmapped pipe in the sloping road near the shoe store. The gas goes undetected due to faulty gas searching techniques. Then, an air conditioner with bad wiring is switched on, starting a spark that ignites the propane and the store explodes, claiming 33 lives.
2714January 10, 2006"Skywalk Collapse"
(Hotel Skywalk)		Hyatt Regency walkway collapseJuly 17, 1981Skywalk collapse
1,500 people gather for a dance in the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City. The second and 4th floor skywalks, hung from steel rods, fail. They collapse and crush 114 people to death.
2815March 28, 2006"Amsterdam Air Crash"
(Schiphol Plane Crash)
(Plane Crash in the Suburbs)		El Al Flight 1862October 4, 1992Plane crash
El Al Flight 1862, a Boeing 747-200F cargo airliner, takes-off from Schiphol Airport near Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Metal fatigue in the fuse pin holding up the inner engine on the right wing causes it to fail and the engine breaks away from the aircraft. The engine running at full power shoots forward and knocks out the outer engine and damages 30 ft. of the wing. The lift between the wings becomes unbalanced, but at its current speed, the aircraft is able to remain relatively level in the air. Eight minutes later, when the crew slow down the 747 for landing, it banks sharply to the right and loses altitude. Now out of control, the aircraft crashes into a high-rise apartment building, killing 43 people.
2916April 18, 2006"Russia's Nuclear Sub Nightmare"
(Kursk submarine disaster)
(The Kursk)		Kursk submarine disasterAugust 12, 2000Submarine sinking
During a training mission, a torpedo on board the Kursk leaks hydrogen peroxide. It reacts with iron oxide (rust) in the bow and blasts the front of the submarine. Although the submarine has explosion-proof walls, the explosion spreads through the ventilation shafts. 135 seconds later, another explosion rocks the submarine. Then it sinks, killing all but 23 men on board. While the survivors wait to be rescued, special boards that produce breathing oxygen drop into the oily floor, starting a reaction that creates a fire, killing them as well.
3017May 19, 2006"King's Cross Fire"
(Kings Cross Fire)
(London's Subway Inferno)		King's Cross fireNovember 18, 1987Subway station fire
A smoker drops a lit match down through a gap between steps in a wooden escalator at the King's Cross tube (underground railway) station, where it ignites grease and accumulated litter. Noticing the glow of the fire, someone presses the emergency knob to stop the escalator. Although most of the blaze remains hidden, the entire area under the escalator is soon on fire. The growing conflagration causes the escalator above it to heat up. It gets so hot that, aided by the rising draught up the stairway, it combusts and blasts a fireball up the escalator, killing 31 people in the ticket hall 20 metres away. This effect is now called the trench effect.
3118June 27, 2006"US Embassy Bombings"
(American Embassy Bombing)
(Nairobi Bombing)		1998 U.S. embassy bombingsAugust 7, 1998Terrorist attack (two bombings)

(Everglades Plane Crash)
(Florida Air Crash)		ValuJet Flight 592May 11, 1996Aircraft crash
ValuJet Flight 592, a DC-9 with 110 people on board, is bound for Atlanta, Georgia from Miami, Florida. While it taxis for take-off, expired oxygen generators being transported in the cargo hold self-activate. The oxygen ignites in the overheated hold. Shortly after take-off, the cargo fire grows so large that the cabin is consumed in flames. The jet loses control and goes down in the Everglades. There are no survivors.

Season 3 (2006–2007)

331July 25, 2006"Titanic"
(Sinking of the Titanic)		RMS TitanicApril 14–15, 1912Ship sinking
The {{RMS|Titanic}}, on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City with over 2,000 people on board, strikes an iceberg. The rivets holding the hull together fail upon impact, allowing water to enter the first five compartments, one more than she can handle and remain afloat. Plus, it also happens that the ship is equipped with insufficient lifeboats. Within 2 hours and 40 minutes, she sinks, taking with her about 1,500 lives.
342August 15, 2006"Aircraft Carrier Explosion"USS Forrestal fireJuly 29, 1967Aircraft carrier explosion
Fighter aircraft on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal prepare to launch for a sortie over Vietnam. An electrical power surge together with an ineffective safety mechanism and altered weapon-arming procedures cause the accidental firing of a Zuni rocket. The rocket strikes another armed and fuelled aircraft, starting a fire that detonates various munitions. Firefighting efforts inadvertently spread the fire below deck. The disaster kills 132 personnel with a further 161 wounded and 2 missing, presumed dead.
353September 6, 2006"Plane Crash in Queens"
(New York Air Crash)		American Airlines Flight 587November 12, 2001Aircraft crash
American Airlines Flight 587, operated by an Airbus A300-600R, leaves John F. Kennedy Airport for Santo Domingo. Shortly after take-off, the A300 encounters wake turbulence from a Japan Airlines Boeing 747 that has taken off from the same runway 30 seconds earlier, causing it to roll violently about its lateral axis. The handling pilot attempts to stabilize the airliner by applying firm rudder, but this is so extreme that it overstresses the attachments between the fuselage and the vertical stabilizer (or 'fin'), causing them to fail. The entire fin then breaks away. Without the fin to give it lateral stability, the aircraft rolls out of control and crashes into Rockaway, Queens, killing all 260 people on board and five on the ground.
364September 13, 2006"Munich Olympic Massacre"
(Munich Olympics Massacre)
(Olympic Hostage Crisis)		Munich massacreSeptember 5–6, 1972Terrorist attack (hostage taking)
During the Olympic Games in Munich, 11 Israeli athletes are held hostage by Palestinian terrorists. They supply a list of Palestine prisoners whose release they demand in exchange for freeing the athletes. But at Fürstenfeldbruck Airport, a rescue attempt goes wrong, and by 12:00 am on the next day, 17 people are dead.
375September 20, 2006"Superstore Collapse"
(Department Store Collapse)		Sampoong Department Store collapseJune 29, 1995Building collapse
Three air conditioning units on the roof of the five-story Sampoong Department Store in Seoul, South Korea are moved across the roof. Two years later, a column on the fifth floor fails due to the AC's vibrations, causing the building to collapse. The store had been kept open, despite reservations about its safety, and 501 people in the store were killed.
386September 27, 2006"Plane Crash in the Potomac"
(Washington Air Crash)
(Potomac)		Air Florida Flight 90January 13, 1982Aircraft crash
Air Florida Flight 90 leaves Washington National Airport in Arlington County, Virginia, for Miami with 79 passengers and crew on board. The Boeing 737–200 has been delayed for hours by bad weather conditions, allowing ice to build up and disrupt the airflow over the wings. Seconds after getting airborne, the aircraft stalls and crashes into the 14th Street Bridge. It bounces off and slams into the icy Potomac river. Five people are rescued, but 78 lose their lives, four of them motorists on the bridge.
397October 25, 2006"Asian Tsunami"2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunamiDecember 26, 2004Earthquake and consequent tsunami
The second largest earthquake in 40 years, with a magnitude of 9.3, strikes the town of Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Soon, it unleashes a tsunami, which takes nearly 230,000 lives around the coasts of the entire Indian Ocean.
408November 15, 2006"Comet Air Crash"
(Crash of the Comet)		BOAC Flight 781
South African Airways Flight 201		BOAC 781: January 10, 1954
SAA 201: April 8, 1954		Two aircraft crashes
A de Havilland DH.106 Comet 1, the world's first passenger jet airliner, takes off from Rome but explodes over the Tyrrhenian Sea 26 minutes into the flight, killing 35. Three months later, another Comet crashes into the sea at night, evidently in the same manner. It emerges that in both crashes the aluminium hull of the aircraft has split open. The cause is determined to have been metal fatigue, brought about by factors including repeated pressurisation of the cabin to a higher and more frequent degree than previously experienced, the square-cornered design of fuselage apertures such as windows, and an inadequate understanding of the behaviour of metals in the conditions of high-altitude flight. The investigation results in improved metallurgical understanding, from which all aircraft design greatly benefits. This episode mainly focuses on BOAC Flight 781, the first to crash.
419November 29, 2006"Chicago Air Crash"
(Flight Engine Down)
(Chicago Flight 191)		American Airlines Flight 191May 25, 1979Aircraft crash
American Airlines Flight 191, a DC-10, takes-off from Chicago's O'Hare Airport. As the aircraft lifts off the runway the engine breaks free from the left wing and flies over and behind it, smashing onto the runway and leaving a gash in the wing leading edge. A leak of hydraulic fluid from the damaged wing leads to loss of hydraulic pressure, in turn causing the left wing slats to retract, depriving that wing of lift. The resulting asymmetric condition of the wings causes the DC-10 to roll rapidly to the left, becoming almost inverted. It crashes into a trailer park, killing all on board plus two on the ground. The cause is found to lie in time- and money-saving maintenance methods adopted by the airline, with the non-redundant design of the controls operating the DC-10's flying surfaces adjudged a contributing factor.
4210December 6, 2006"Texas Oil Explosion"
(Texas Refinery Disaster)
(Oil Fire in Texas)		Texas BP Refinery explosionMarch 23, 2005Oil refinery explosion
At the BP Oil Refinery in Texas City, a test on the distillation tower goes wrong. Liquid waste builds up and flows out through the blowout tower. Waste fumes ignite and detonate, destroying a trailer placed dangerously close to the blowout tower, killing 15 workers. A case study that has driven new safety standards and a safety case focus on temporary buildings located on industrial sites.
4311January 2, 2007"Tornado Outbreak"The Super OutbreakApril 3–4, 1974Tornado outbreak
The most violent outbreak of tornadoes in history, the Super Outbreak, releases 148 tornadoes in 13 American states and one province in Canada. Thousands of homes are destroyed and more than 350 people die; 5,000 people are left homeless or injured, or both.
4412January 31, 2007"Space Shuttle Explosion"
(Space Shuttle Challenger)		Space Shuttle Challenger disasterJanuary 28, 1986Space shuttle disintegration
Space Shuttle Challenger blasts off from Cape Canaveral to start the STS-51-L mission. Freezing weather leads to the O-rings in one of the field joints in a solid rocket booster to leak hot gases that impinge on its mount on the external tank. However, pieces of aluminum from the solid rocket fuel build up and seals the joint. 58 seconds later, a strong jetstream dislodges the aluminum, allowing rocket fuel to leak out once more. 15 seconds afterward, the external tank breaks up, the solid rocket boosters fly free, and aerodynamic forces rip Challenger into pieces that fall into the ocean. All seven astronauts on board are killed.
4513March 7, 2007"Eruption on Montserrat"
(Montserrat)
(When the Volcano Blew)		1995–1997 eruption of Soufrière HillsJuly 18, 1995 – December 26, 1997Volcanic eruption
In July 1995, the Soufrière Hills volcano on the Caribbean island of Montserrat spews ash over the island. The nearby capital of Plymouth is evacuated. Two years on, Soufrière Hills erupts violently. Pyroclastic flows rage down the mountain and destroy Plymouth and Bramble Airport, killing 19 people. The eruption generates a small tsunami.

This episode mainly focuses on the events of June 25, 1997.
