Fascinating documentary series that looks at some of the greatest engineering projects around the world that have now been abandoned.
Standing on the brink of collapse, some soon to be lost forever, these ruined sites have suffered through devastating natural disasters, years of violent wars, and events far more surprising. Within these decaying structures are the echoes of history – they speak of death and destruction, but also human ingenuity and endeavour; each haunted shell now ready to be
