....was just intelligently discussed on The History Channel's Modern Marvels/Engineering Disasters #12 which aired today at noon Central Time.

This program, #12, will be repeated today at 6:00 PM Central Time according to TV Guide.

I couldn't find another time listed for this particular episode to be repeated soon.

The part about our Bonfire comes in the first half hour of the program.

I hadn't seen this program before, although it's probably been shown previously.

Just a heads up if you want to watch.

Wow! I just stumbled across this as well. I was going to start a thread, but was beaten to it. Very surprised to see this on the History Channel.

I saw it yesterday also, basically they said it was engineering failure due to supervision, and design flaw. I dont think they broached anything new.

It's also an older program. It was floating around on DC++ for a while.

yeah at the end of it they did a shot of the memorial still being built. so I'm guessing sometime around 2003 maybe.

they abbreviated some of the facts, but overall I thought it was a fair job - lot of video clips from the days of on campus

darnit, wish i would've seen this earlier. i would have loved to seen that show.

I got it recorded. I can through it up on youtube if anyone wants to watch it

Thanks for posting that. I hadn't seen it.

this aired years ago guys. the clip used to be floating around on resnet...

yeah its from like '02 or '03. they show the memorial STILL being built at the end, and it was dedicated in late 2004 I think. the pictures and video they use are sill cool tho.
