What happens

Blueprint for Disaster is a Canadian documentary television series that premiered in 2005 on Discovery Channel Canada. Produced by Temple Street Productions, the program investigates why and how various disasters have happened. As of 2006, two seasons have been produced. On the 12 June 2006, Discovery Channel premiered 6 more episodes that were to be season 2 under the name Minutes from Disaster. It was noted that the show's name shared similarities with the National Geographic Channel show Seconds from Disaster. This considered National Geographic to take legal action against Discovery Channel, which it said Discovery Channel ripped off. National Geographic's lawyers would later write to Discovery Channel to pull the show from airing, which they refused to do. It is unclear whether National Geographic decided to pursue legal action afterwards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
