We’re releasing episodes from our mini failure library while we’re on production hiatus.
This week’s Mini Failure is about the Juliana Bridge crane collapse in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands. A poorly planned lift that had little to no consideration for safety led to the collapse of two cranes and a new bridge section in the middle of this small Netherlands city.
Original Air Date: January 22, 2023
