Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

How a Gas Leak Poisoned Half a Million People

The investigations kept drawing views. Mentour's Black Box posted nothing new, but its existing episodes added nearly 198,000 views over the week, with Bhopal supplying the strongest daily audience at present.

"How a Gas Leak Poisoned Half a Million People" examines the toxic gas release at a pesticide plant in Bhopal in December 1984. The episode has approached 400,000 views, giving readers catching up with the team behind Mentour Pilot a substantial investigation beyond aviation.

Two other episodes remain active. "The Nuclear Nightmare Of Fukushima" explores the loss of electrical power and damage to backup energy sources surrounding the nuclear disaster. "The Wiring Mistake That Killed 296 People" introduces engineer Jake Ryland for an explanation of the Odisha train accident, tracing the catastrophe to wires moved during a routine repair unrelated to the track the train was traveling on.

The channel gained subscribers over the week, although its current daily viewing is well below its usual level. That slower daily pace also appears across its nearby documentary peers, including American Masters PBS and Royalty TV. For Black Box, the continuing viewing is concentrated around investigations of how failures in industrial plants, power systems and railway signaling became disasters.
