In Beirut in August of 2020, an explosion at the Port of Beirut destroyed a huge part of the city.

737 MAX Ethiopian Air

Five months after Lion Air 610 crashed, another 737-MAX went down with a similar cause. However the official report was at odds with two other internationally respected investigative organisations.

Hyatt Regency Kansas City

The tallest building in Missouri with a large atrium perfect for big bands and dancing, hosted a regular Tea Dance in the summer of 1981. When two walkways collapsed killing over a hundred people, the investigators found multiple fundamental design errors.
