Skyscrapers are gleaming symbols of prestige and an ingenious way to save space in dense urban areas. But as buildings rise ever higher, what are the risks of these architectural behemoths? Do we truly know how they will hold up in earthquakes, fires, and other potential disasters? What have--or haven't—we learned from past tragedies?

Nova now shows January 5, 2022, for the scheduled airdate.
I added NOVA's currently scheduled airdate of January 26, 2022. But not finding an exact episode list through that date, the exact episode number needs to wait until closer to next season's start on January 1, 2022. In TVmaze, NOVA's seasons start with each new year.
PBS listed "High-Risk High-Rise" as airing 9/8/2021 at 21:00 in the NOVA schedule last May. But, "Extreme Animal Weapons" from 11/22/2017 aired here instead. So far, "High-Risk High-Rise" is not rescheduled.
I chose not to delete this episode and lose the information. So, I bumped the episode number to a high number. When PBS reschedules, simply update the episode number and airdate.
