We’re releasing episodes from our mini failure library while we’re on production hiatus.

This week’s Mini Failure is about the Cypress St Viaduct. A double decker freeway that served as one of the approaches to the San-Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the viaduct collapsed during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

Original Air Date: March 5, 2023
