Disasters can strike anywhere, anytime. Expert analysis of the available evidence is used to recreate real-world disasters in cutting-edge 3D graphics. We can dissect them, peel back the layers, and even freeze time to reveal a disaster’s hidden and surprising causes-- a paperwork error, a bad glue job, or changing a restaurant’s opening hours. Whatever it is, "Disaster Autopsy" will uncover it.

J C @RT62953103 02/04/2025 The analysts constantly looking at a light table and pretending to manipulate the CGI is absolutely ridiculous. As for the analysis of the disasters, if you are not aware of the actual details of the events it is somewhat enlightening. See more A O @RT41125808 10/09/2024 Treats it viewers like we're dumb. Also, disingenuous. For example, with the Columbia disaster, it was known from the very start of the mission what had hit the wing, and they spend so much time playing dumb being like "is it this" making it seem like that's how the actual investigation went. They start the episode with a straight up lie that the mission had gone well.

It's computer generated, there shouldn't be anything there for them. They should have just shown us the animation and left out the people looking at it in a dark empty warehouse. It's really odd and hard to watch because it's every few seconds. See more Read all reviews
