A large number of disasters are analyzed in detail to show both the reasons behind their failure and the construction mistakes that led to them. The book is based on over a decade of the author's research and includes many first-hand accounts of disasters as well as previously unpublished photographs. The book also presents practical advice on how to design and build structures that are safe and unlikely to collapse. By examining historical disasters, the author presents fresh insight for modern building practices and safety codes, and demonstrates how preventable mistakes have led to countless deaths and injuries over time.
