Like almost all History Channel programs, the tales told in this impressive box set are fascinating to watch, although even hardcore history buffs may find it tough to sit through three separate specials on the Hindenburg disaster. The disc that explores the best, if that’s the right word, engineering disasters of the past 40 years is more varied and, as a result, more entertaining, The real treat of the set, though is the one titled Inspector America that follows host Timothy Galarnyk, an infrastructure safety inspector, as he goes around inspecting bridges and things that, according to him, are about to collapse and kill a lot of people. Ok, nothing like that really happens, but Galarnyk has a messenger of doom quality to his voice that makes you believe it will if the powers that be don’t immediately do what he tells them to do.
