AS BUILT
We don't show you the wreckage.
We draw the reason.
Nothing breaks without a reason.
The Method
Admire the design. Find the flaw. Follow the load.
Every episode reconstructs a structure as an engineering drawing — first the design working, then the flaw hiding exactly where history left it, then the load path finding it, until one red line marks where it broke.
01 · AS BUILT
The design, working
We rebuild it as a success first — because you can't feel a failure you never understood.
02 · THE FLAW
Planted where history did
A shaved margin, a skipped weld, an ignored memo. The amber gathers where the stress concentrates.
03 · THE FAILURE LINE
Drawn once
One continuous red stroke across the blueprint. The whole episode earns that line.

The Signature Move
The load goes looking. We follow it.
Every episode earns one red line.
The Catalog
Every failure, classified and filed.
A growing body of numbered drawings — bridges, aircraft, dams, rockets, and the physics behind them. Hover a plate to draw its failure line.
The Taxonomy
Ten ways things fail.
Competitors have episodes. The Failure Catalog has a system — every drawing stamped with the mode that brought it down.
Cited to the record
Every number traced to the official inquiry.
