Disaster Autopsy | Preview (National Geographic)

Disasters can strike anywhere, anytime. Delve further into the details of the world’s most infamous disasters with Disaster Autopsy and find out why, through expert analysis of the available evidence and real-world recreations of the disasters in cutting edge 3D graphics. 

From the Grenfell fire to Apollo 13, Disaster Autopsy will dissect every detail, peeling back the layers, and even freezing time to reveal a disaster’s hidden and surprising causes – a paperwork error, a bad glue job, even changing a restaurant opening hours.

In the first episode, three real world disasters forensically dissected, analysed and recreated in astonishing detail from expert analysis using all the evidence. How did the shuttle Columbia tear itself to pieces during re-entry?

Why did so many die in the worst high-speed train crash in history at Eschede in Germany? How did a concrete high-rise in London called Grenfell Tower become an inferno that killed 72?

Disaster Autopsy begins Thursday 7th November at 8pm on National Geographic.
