The magnificent 10

Episode 1: The most spectacular crashes in history

One small stumble and things go downhill. In everyday life as well as in world history. The Defenestration of Prague triggers a war that lasts around 30 years. A computer crash paralyzes air traffic and hospitals in the summer of 2024. And Napoleon, the little emperor of the great nation, refuses to accept his fall through lost wars. But once you’re in free fall, you can’t reverse direction. So simply fall as elegantly as possible, straighten your crown and enjoy watching the crashes of others.
