In a follow-up to the Emmy Award-winning documentary "Why the
Towers Fell," NOVA looks back at the events of 9/11 and reviews the
major investigations into the collapse of the World Trade Center.
What has been learned in order to improve the construction and
security of our most important structures, present and future? How
does the U.S. rate compared to other countries? What are the
challenges facing architects, engineers and builders, and the
obstacles preventing the adoption of new building codes? The film
features incisive interviews with key investigators and engineers -
including Leslie Robertson, who engineered the World Trade Center
towers and takes viewers to the construction site of his current
project in Shanghai, touted as the tallest structure in the
world.
