History Classics: Mega Disasters [DVD]

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 CLASSICS: MEGA DISASTERS examines it all quakes, droughts, freezes and eruptions. They ve happened before; will they happen again?
