Synopsis

The program takes viewers inside the world of crash testing for a look at how the vast financial resources of the U.S. government and the Big Three auto manufacturers have fueled thousands of experiments best described as "apocalyptic." The data culled from these staged cataclysms has helped scientists learn how things break -- inanimate objects or human bodies -- and what manufacturers can do to protect their precious cargo. Researchers are trying to find ways to make every impact, from bullet strikes to plane crashes, survivable.
