Air date: Sep 27, 2022

We begin with the tragic collapse of the Ponte Morandi (Morandi Bridge) in Genoa, 2018. Multiple camera angles capture the bridge crashing down in a rainstorm as vehicles drive across the iconic structure. An investigation uncovers a tale of neglect and aging concrete. The Millennium Tower was known as the most prestigious new condo tower in San Francisco. Now it’s known for something else: it’s sinking. It’s leaning, the concrete is cracking, the glass is blowing out of the windows. How could a luxury complex of multi-million dollar residences fail so soon after construction?
