System Crash
4 x 60 Documentary Series, 2008
System Crash is a four episode series on the complex systems we depend on—energy, finance, transportation, and communications. From the power grid to air traffic control to the Internet, interconnected global networks are fast, efficient, and sometimes vulnerable. Each show looks at a web of complex systems, how they work and the cascade of calamities that occur when they fail. We go behind the scenes and into the guts of our most critical global mega-systems – systems that uphold our safety, security, health and finances.
