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.
