Minutes Before Disaster
A documentary channel reconstructing industrial, engineering, and transport disasters minute by minute from official investigation reports.
- For
- Viewers interested in disaster investigations and engineering failures
- Worth noticing
- The site separates its episodes into three formats: full disaster timelines, overlooked warnings, and designs built to fail.
Field notes
The site explains a repeatable process: begin with an investigating agency’s final report, reconstruct the sequence from recorded times, and list sources on each episode page. Its proposed series structure also includes individual stories about overlooked memos, inspections, or alarms, alongside examinations of flawed bridges, dams, and buildings. The homepage says the visual reconstructions and narration are AI-generated, while the people depicted are fictional composites.
