History Channel - Mega Disasters: Collection Three



Information
Mega Disasters: Collection Three
What would happen if a major catastrophe struck the United States? Using past natural disasters as
an example, this detailed – and disturbing – collection from HISTORY examines tsunamis, earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and even an asteroid impact, to see what disasters could be coming
our way. The same geological forces that ripped apart the ancient world still roil beneath the
surface today. Will history repeat itself? What are experts doing to avoid a landslide of death and
destruction in the event of an eruption at Mt. Rainier? Would the people – and skyscrapers – of
present-day Chicago survive a high-speed tornado like the one that hit in 1967? And what would
happen if a Category 3 hurricane were to hit New York City? Computer animations, models, and
re-creations providing a jaw-dropping view of what a storm like this could do to the Big Apple.
History: Mega Disasters examines it all – quakes, droughts, freezes and eruptions. They’ve happened
before; will they happen again?

Episode 1: The Next Pompeii
In 79 AD Mt. Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii and killed 5,000 people. The volcano is quiet at the moment,
but the only consistency in Vesuvius' eruptive history is a lack of consistency. The danger zone
that surrounds the volcano includes the city of Naples and its one million residents; another two
million people reside nearby. Scientists know that when Vesuvius erupts again they won't have much
warning and another major metropolis will be destroyed.
