There are many wonders in our world that are made from nature's beauty. There are also many marvels made by man that are beautiful in their own right and way. We rarely see that beauty to it's fullest potential and often overlook such things because they are common-place now. A sports fan that has been to AT&T stadium many times, or a commuter on the Beijing Mag-lev might not realize just how much of a modern marvel they are. Impossible Engineering gives a comprehensive look at these modern man-made marvels and explains why they are such a marvel. It is also done in a way that makes it fun and entertaining and does not bog one down with too much jargin or details. I would say that Impossible Engineering is to construction and innovation as Mythbusters is to Science and other STEM fields. It might not be as great as Season 18 or 19 of Mythbusters, but if one looks back at Season 1, 2 or 3, I think that they are equal and if given time, Impossible Engineering can be as well known as Mythbusters or How It's Made.
