Maybe I'm the only person that likes TV documentaries about engineering (as
I mentioned, they do exist, so there must be at least *some* interest out
there), but the target audience is not families of engineers. They already
think you are nerdlike and accept you as you are: underappreciated,
hard-working and pocket-protector-equipped. Thick, geeky eyeglasses are
optional.
Don't worry, all the content will be fast paced enough to snag attention, but without gratuitous CG effects, flashing widgets and viewer-patronizing garbage. I assume that you have never seen the documentaries I referred to earlier - they are very well done and without hype.
What is the story about that disaster? Certainly it's not the Edmund Fitzgerald.
