Engineering News – James Webb Space Telescope (1:40)
This week's engineering failure is the Leaning Tower of Pisa (7:45). After taking almost 200 years to build, the tower has a few subsurface issues that contribute to its iconic lean (18:10). So much of a lean that it’s even won some world records (26:50). Luckily, to preserve the tower and prevent collapse, it underwent a stabilization project in the 1990s (31:05).
