World Record Tower Demolition: An engineering marvel gone wrong deals CDI their strangest challenge yet: demolish a brand new hurricane-proof tower. It’s a shot at a world record – the tallest concrete reinforced building ever to be imploded. Thirty-one storeys high, Ocean Tower’s three massively reinforced cores boast 30 inches of concrete and rebar. But this robust construction came with a twisted cost – this heavy super structure is sinking into South Padre Island’s soils. The team’s never encountered anything like this: a building on a faulty foundation, perilously close to brand-new residential developments and ecologically fragile dunes. To drop it, they’ll have to push demolition engineering to its limits. It could be a world record – or a world-class disaster.

Nuclear Reactor Cooling Towers Demolition: Blowdown is an explosive four-part building demolition series profiling some of the most challenging projects of Controlled Demolition Inc. of Phoenix, Maryland. Each of the structures, some notable, others notorious is unique and presents the team with challenges ranging from the structural to the explosive and bureaucratic. In episode one, the team from CDI travels to Sellafield, England to take down four outdated cooling towers on the site of the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor. Sellafield has a long history of nuclear incidents and mishaps dating back to the infamous Windscale Fire in 1957. Sellafield now stores and treats nuclear waste and is home to 90% of Britain’s industrial radioactivity. The tension is increased by the fact that explosives have never been used on an active nuclear site in the United Kingdom before and it has taken four years to overcome the bureaucratic hurdles. The subjects of the film are four nuclear cooling towers. Each one is 88 m high and has an estimated mass of 5,200 tons. Of particular concern is the fact that the towers are only 40 meters away from a nuclear fuel handling plant. There has been a steady deterioration of the towers and there is the concern of an inadvertent collapse. Explosive demolition has been determined to be the safest and most cost-effective means of removing the towers. Each of the towers will be loaded with three sets of explosives. The first set will be in the legs of the towers, encircling 60% of the circumference. The second set will be set in a predrilled band around the same 60% approximately 20 m up. Charges will also be loaded into 3 vertical slots about 10 meters high which should cause the concrete shells of the towers to deform, rotate, and collapse within the drop zone. With just 10 days to load all four towers, the team struggles to safely load and rig more than 4,500 charges and time the explosions to minimize the risks to the surrounding site. The team must evaluate each risk, real or imagined, and account for it in the plan. Major concerns are projectiles, ground vibration, and air overpressure that could compromise operations at the nuclear facility.

Nasa Rocket Tower Demolition: Blowdown is an explosive four part building demolition series profiling some of the most challenging projects of Controlled Demolition Inc of Phoenix, Maryland. Each of the structures, some notable, others notorious is unique and present the team with challenges ranging from the structural, to the explosive and bureaucratic. In this episode, the team from CDI travels to Patrick Air Force Base in Cape Canaveral, Florida to take down an obsolete rocket launch tower. Mobile Station Tower 40 (or MST 40) was once the largest mobile structure in the world. Built during the early 1990s MST 40 was 265 feet tall, and had 20 working stories. It launched both the prestigious Mars Observer as well as the Cassini mission to Saturn. During the late 1990s the air force phased out the rocket type that was launched from the tower and in 2005 MST 40 was retired. The demolition team has just 30 days to prepare the tower for explosives, and bring her down safely. They struggle to work in a brush fire hazard area where frequent electrical storms and high winds heighten the risk of working on the tower. Adding to their challenges are two sets of lightening towers that lie close to the tumbling tower’s intended path and a subterranean control bunker that lies beneath it. In order that neither are harmed during the implosion the demolition team must pull-off a precise drop. To achieve the precision they need CDI uses over 700 powerful steel cutting explosives called shaped charges. These incendiary devices are high velocity explosives – they employ the same technology as armor piercing shells and warheads. The team uses the charges to cut through the tower’s entirely metal structure. CDI comes in to work on MST 40 during the cusp of hurricane season. They have just one month to prepare, load and implode the tower. Major concerns are undermining the hurricane proof rocket tower’s integrity, gutting hundreds of thousands of structural steel while remaining on schedule, and manually moving the tower 75 feet.

It is the largest heavy load transport on earth! When the first ship of the brand-new OOCL-fleet gets underway, more cargo is moved at one time than anywhere else in the world and ever before. At 21,100 TEU capacity, the vessels are the largest ever ordered to date. 400 meters long and about as wide as a football field (58.8 meters). These ships will not only be able to load more cargo than ever before, they will also be equipped with a number of high-class energy-saving systems. This Episode shows the maiden voyage of the OOCL HONG KONG. Everything happens for the first time: the captain, the pilots and the harbour crew have never before manoeuvred a giant ship like this. Berthing, loading, steering: Risky manoeuvres, which have never been tested before. Once berthed, the cargo loading pushes everyone involved to the limit. Crew, Crane operators and the lashing team. A loading procedure like this, with additional containers on top of the so far known stacking limit, has only been theoretically discussed, but never tested in real life. Balancing the ship, moving and securing the stunning mass of containers is a task, which does not condone even the slightest mistake. The route from Shanghai to Rotterdam, with stop in Singapore brings constant challenges: pirate areas, onboard emergency drills and the navigation through the narrow waters of the Suez Canal. All of this happens under incredibly high pressure of time – will the world’s largest container ship stay on schedule on its maiden voyage?

For several decades now, it has been aircraft above all that have decided the outcome of military conflicts. No wonder that unimaginable sums have been invested in their development. Engineers around the world assiduously improve the speed, range, versatility, and armament of military aircraft, thus decisively advancing innovation in aviation. Ultimate Vehicles showcases the best fighters, bombers, and transport aircraft. It is the result of the largest armaments program of all time: the F-35 Lightning II. When developing it, engineers had to satisfy numerous demands at once: a stealth aircraft with high speed and excellent avionics. In addition, it had to have vertical and short takeoff capability. How well was this mammoth task executed? It shocked the West and taught American bomber pilots during the Korean War the meaning of fear. The Mig-15 was the first Soviet fighter jet. Today there are only 12 airworthy Mig-15s left. We take off with one of them. Three decades later, the successful aircraft manufacturer Mikoyan-Gurevich had another stroke of genius: the Mig-29. Its maneuverability is unparalleled, and today it is considered one of the best fighter jets in the world. “Ultimate Vehicles” presents the technical features responsible for this. One day it will be the longest-serving military aircraft: the B-52 Stratofortress. It is planned to be used for about 90 years. What is behind this legendary airplane’s longevity? And how does a plane with a 56-meter wingspan take off and land? The Airbus A400M is considered the most modern transport aircraft in the world. For a propeller aircraft of this weight, it can fly unusually fast and high – but also slow and low – thus making it incredibly versatile.

00:00 Ghost Hotel in Malaysia The Amber Court Hotel is located in the mountains of Malaysia, an hour outside the capital. It looks deserted; spooky factor included.

It’s a special vacation, kind of like traveling back in time. A formerly abandoned village in Abruzzo, Italy offers an immersive experience of what it’s like to live not only among but with the locals. The idea behind it: The guests live next door 27:04 UFO? No. Houses that look like UFOs The location is in Taiwan and it looks like an abandoned film set for Lost in Space. Dilapidated, ghostly, deserted houses shaped like UFOs. What’s the story behind the spacely ghost town?

When money drives almost all activity on the planet, we must understand it. Yet simple questions often get overlooked – questions like: Where does money come from? Who creates it? Who decides how it gets used? And what does that mean for the millions of ordinary people who suffer when money and finance break down? 97% Owned is a new documentary that reveals how the creation of credit and the mystery that surrounds it, is at the root of our current social and economic crisis. Referring to the 97% of the world’s money supply that is represented by credit this thought provoking film presents serious research and verifiable evidence on our economic and financial system and is the first documentary to tackle this issue from a UK-perspective Featuring frank interviews and commentary from economists, campaigners, and former bankers, it exposes the privatized, debt-based monetary system that gives banks the power to create money, shape the economy, cause crises, and push house prices out of reach. Fact-based and clearly explained, 97% Owned demonstrates how the power to create money is the piece of the puzzle that economists were missing when they failed to predict the crisis.

Today, although a cloud of satellites surrounds the planet, many records set during the early decades of space exploration remain unsurpassed.
