I'm a slave to "Seconds From Disaster" and "Air Crash Investigation".

I find myself watching these shows again and again, repeat after repeat.

I'm the guy you see in restaurants examining the pillars for micro cracks, and on planes, I'm the guy counting seat rows to both the front and rear exits.
Oh god yes. Engineering Disasters FTW!
