## Description

From awe-inspiring buildings and life-changing technological innovations to the most terrible engineering disasters of our time, MODERN MARVELS goes behind the scenes of the world s most spectacular creations and its biggest failures. In this 14-disc set, the acclaimed series examines history from every conceivable angle, from the designers behind the world s architectural masterpieces and the biggest engineering failures to greatest inventions and the worst disasters. MODERN MARVELS profiles these amazing historic turning points through interviews with the builders and dreamers who created high-tech devices and man-made wonders and exclusive archive footage to analyze what has gone wrong and what s held up over the ages. This gripping collection takes an incisive look at the catastrophic failures that stunned the world--from the Union Carbide explosion to Hurricane Katrina.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    NOT the best of
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 10, 2009*

I love documentaries, and Modern Marvels in particular.  To my disappointment, this box set was just OK.First, as mentioned before, the first four or five discs are all about Engineering Disasters, and I even think one of the disasters runs on two of the dvds.  Though they are alright, they aren't Modern Marvel episodes.Second, the episodes that are Modern Marvels aren't the BEST.  I can think of two episodes I really wanted to see ... Salt Mines, and Oil Refineries ... aren't on here.  7 of the episodes are about Bridges, and not the bridges you really want to see.  Over all, for $30, it is ok.

    A Great Set
  

*by P***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 9, 2010*

This is a fantastic set, it has it all from engineering disasters to great documentaries.Well put together as you would expect from any History Channel set, if you are going to buy anything buy this you will not be dissapointed.Good value for money , even though I had it shipped in from the States.To get what they put into this seperately would cost you a fortune this is a real credit to the makers of this great series-keep it up History Channel.

    A Great Series
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 23, 2011*

I have not managed to get through all of the dvds just yet, but it has been very interesting and educational to watch. I find myself watching it for hours. There are lots of fascinating "Engineering Disasters" featured as well as many other subjects explored. I am repeatedly amazed at the disasters, which most I was unaware of, that shaped the development of better technology and engineering. For 2115 mins of viewing its a great purchase.
