I caught a couple of episodes this weekend, pretty cool. One episode I watched they designed an outside high rise evac elevator using magnets, another episode was an earthquake proof house.
They have two different teams approaching the goal from different directions to see what works best.
Kinda like Mythbusters but more for disaster/escape/prevention situations.
Yeah they blow stuff up too (Blast). It's on the Discovery channel.
Check it out.
