- Episode 1: The Bridge That Reopened Four Days Too Early
In the first episode of Engineering Gone Wrong, we head to Morbi, Gujarat, where a 143-year-old suspension bridge had just reopened after months of renovation.
Four days later, what happened made headlines across the country.
How does a bridge that stood for more than a century fail just days after being repaired? What went wrong behind the scenes? And could it have been prevented?

About Engineering Gone Wrong
From the publisher's feed
Engineering Gone Wrong looks at real disasters from India and the Middle East and asks a simple question: what actually went wrong?
From collapsing bridges to industrial accidents and failures hidden inside everyday infrastructure, each episode traces the decisions made before disaster struck: the materials chosen, the warnings missed, the corners cut, and the engineering that should have stopped it. Because most disasters don’t begin with one dramatic mistake. They begin much earlier, with decisions that seemed small at the time.
