Ep 120 Mini Failure 34 Juliana Bridge Crane Collapse

We’re releasing episodes from our mini failure library while we’re on production hiatus.
This week’s Mini Failure is about the Juliana Bridge crane collapse in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands. A poorly planned lift that had little to no consideration for safety led to the collapse of two cranes and a new bridge section in the middle of this small Netherlands city.
Original Air Date: January 22, 2023
