Description

We remember the lives lost and changed by the E’cole Polytechnique Massacre 32 years ago. (0:36)
This week's engineering failure is the Charles de Gaulle Airport Collapse (4:10). There were two main modes of failure, process failure (10:00) and structural engineering failure (14:45). The terminal was ultimately re-built (26:40) and engineers around the world took note of what not to do.
