I've been going through a really big phase of researching into engineering and natural disasters, and I'm trying to find some books to explore my interest more. Just a book that dives deep into one specific disaster . Thinking of stuff like the Beirut explosion, Grenfell fire, 2011 Japanese disaster, the Kursk submarine, and hurricane Harvey just to name a few off the top of my head.
