Description

Popular Mechanics reveals the science behind some of the worst natural and man-made disasters the world has seen since 1900, including the Deepwater Horizon explosion and subsequent oil spill, the earthquake in Chile, Iceland's volcanic eruption, Hurricane Katrina, the disappearance of Air France 447, and the sinking of the Andrea Doria. Why did they occur? Can we prevent them from happening again? And how can we protect our families and homes from disaster? Examine the evidence for the answers and practical advice for keeping your family safe.

Combining original reporting with dramatic photographs and detailed illustrations, Popular Mechanics looks at the science behind the most devastating events of the past 100 yearsโ€”including San Franciscoโ€™s 7.8 earthquake in 1906, the Gulf oil spill, the Apollo 13 Space Mission, and Hurricane Katrinaโ€™s devastating landfall near New Orleans. Plus, each chapter includes practical advice on surviving disasters, from industrial accidents to deadly tsunamis.
