About This Program

Super‑Sized Collapse is a programme episode that brings together a series of dramatic incidents from around the globe. It’s presented as a single instalment, rather than a multi‑part series, and its title hints at the scale of the events it covers. The episode walks viewers through a string of high‑impact failures. It opens with the sudden collapse of a supermarket in Italy, then shifts to a scene of amusement parks caught alight. The narrative moves on to a rescue operation inside a tunnel in India, follows a malfunctioning light‑rail system, and finishes with a stadium that has been left without a roof. These stories span a wide range of settings, from retail premises and leisure venues to transport infrastructure and sporting facilities. Each segment highlights a different kind of structural or operational breakdown, showing how varied environments can be vulnerable to sudden, large‑scale problems. Overall, Super‑Sized Collapse strings together these disparate episodes to illustrate how catastrophic events can unfold in many forms, whether in a grocery store, a theme park, an underground tunnel, a city rail line or a stadium. The programme’s focus remains firmly on the incidents themselves, offering a concise snapshot of each disaster without venturing beyond the facts presented.
