    Fireproof the Hidenburg

    Drill the trapped Chilean miners to safety

    Un-lean the leaning tower of Pisa

    Here are 33 ingenious, hands-on experiments that demonstrate just what happened in history's most famous engineering disasters, from the collapse of the Colossus of Rhodes in 226 BC to the destructive, laserlike sunbeams bouncing off London's famous "Fryscraper" in 2013. 

    Stomp on a tube of toothpaste to replicate Boston's Great Molasses Flood of 1919---and understand the explosive behavior of non-Newtonian fluids.
