I caught if a few times - Sun 10PM EDT. Tonight he's in Detroit examining power line that fell burning several blocks, exposed live wires in metal light poles, water mains that are failing & bridges that have not been maintained and are failing. How the fire dept is short of firefighters but still has the same square miles to cover. How the killing of auto industry helped kill businesses & neighborhoods.
America has one of the greatest infrastructures in history, with roadways, dams, tunnels and bridges that were built to last. But over the decades, the infrastructure that helped our country grow hasn't kept up with the times--from underground sewers built during the Gold Rush to highways designed for 1925 traffic. Now, HISTORY sets out to inspect the country to see what is up to code and what needs to be fixed. Timothy Galarnyk, an infrastructure safety inspector with over 35 years of experience, hosts INSPECTOR AMERICA. Galarnyk's initial sweep takes him to six American locations that have infrastructure challenges. He uses the tools of his trade to evaluate the structures, gauge dangers and offer opinions on how to deal with it. Galarnyk also highlights the good news and positive projects in the area.http://www.history.com/shows/inspector-americaGood series IMHO that shows what is happening in America as infrastructure is neglected.
