Aftermath tells the true stories of the world's great industrial and technological disasters and the science and law of industrial safety. Each episode, host Nirob takes one disaster — a munitions ship that exploded and erased half a port city, a chemical plant that released a cloud of poison over a sleeping city, a reactor that melted down while the world watched, an oil platform that burned in the North Sea — and rebuilds it: the technology and the pressures that created the risk, the warnings that were or were not heard, the accident as it actually unfolded hour by hour, the toll it took, and the change in the laws and the safety culture that came out of the ashes.

From the Halifax Explosion and Oppau to Texas City and Flixborough, from Seveso and Three Mile Island to Bhopal and Chernobyl, from Piper Alpha and the Exxon Valdez to Toulouse, Deepwater Horizon and Beirut, Aftermath is about the strange truth that the great industrial disasters are never the work of a single villain — they are the product of systems, built up over years, in which many small failures line up to make one large one. Meticulously researched, clear about the technology, and honest about the difference between the record and the myth. Clean and suitable for all ages. A new disaster every week
