Air Date : 30th-Sep-2016 Human civilization is under attack from a catastrophic—but unseen—threat from space. After 30 days, there is no food, and, in fact, after 72 hours, the emergency generators that keep the food cool run out of gas, and its food starts to spoil. Can any of us survive? But they also believe the whole nightmare can be avoided, and survival can be assured if the right precautionary measures are put into place. The lack of electricity also siphons off another key element to modern civilization: Gasoline. The level of worldwide devastation caused by the solar storm is exactly what scientists predicted when the U.
Other possible reasons featured in the program are nuclear war, massive black hole, a planet on a collision course with Earth, a deadly solar storm, mega volcano eruption, and other lovely scenarios that can, in fact, become reality if the humankind runs out of luck. But it pales in comparison to the nuclear disaster about to engulf the planet. If you are starving to death and you have any semblance of weaponry, you will try and take over somebody that has more than you so you can survive longer. In the wake of worldwide destruction, who would survive. You would have short circuits of anything electrical. Even if people were survivalists, there wouldn't be enough food to hunt or fish. That means in one decade, there's perhaps a 10% chance that all our electronics will be wiped out.
Today, only 10% of money exists as cold, hard cash. Bridges have to be reinforced. And there are forces out there that we have to contend with in a very real way. At the same time, the blackout disables vital pumps that maintain water pressure. A bad day for Planet Earth gets worse as volcanic gas blocks out sunlight, food chains collapse, and epic famine threatens the very future of mankind.
In modern times, there have been more recent episodes as well. But for those with the will to survive, there is a flicker of hope, especially now that small-scale electricity is coming back on. Earth's deadly fall takes 65 days, triggering massive hurricanes, sandstorms and--with temperatures reaching over 200 degrees--a heat wave that kills every last person. Incredibly, one year after the disaster struck, power hasn't been restored. As the atmosphere becomes electrified, power surges into high-tension lines and transformers from pole to pole. From massive asteroid impacts to volcanic hyper-eruptions to sudden energy blasts from outer space … will you be ready? They know that without electricity to provide food, water, energy, communications, transportation, and everything else that makes modern civilization possible Mankind is facing the worst catastrophe in recorded history. The last time a giant solar storm hit the Earth's atmosphere, 150 years ago, the so-called Carrington Event, people lived without electricity.
The world's electrical grid has gone up in flames, destroyed by a solar storm from the Sun. These people are going to die. The harvest back in those days was not shipped across the country, but it was consumed locally. The series debuted with an episode devoted to the possibilities of a killer asteroid becoming the reason for the end of life on our planet. Part 2: Black Hole A supermassive black hole is moving toward Earth at almost the speed of light. How would modern humans cope with a hailstorm of falling rocks and debris, mega tsunamis, out of control fires, blast-furnace temperatures, and a destroyed ozone layer? In fact, you can get firestorms in cities.
The disaster that blows out the world's electrical power and paralyzes civilization begins on the surface of the Sun. Meanwhile, people begin jerry-rigging systems to restore small-scale electricity. In Berlin, New York, Buenos Aires, and elsewhere, air traffic controllers switch to emergency generators and try to get planes out of the sky. They are happy to help for now. Can any of us survive? What would happen if the same size storm struck our modern world right now? Water systems were fed by gravity, muscle power, or steam pumps. The Congressional hearings also stated solar storms are just part of the threat to our electrical grid.
A lethal chunk of the Sun has smashed into the Earth. As far south as the equator, the skies light up in auroras brighter than any in living memory. It gives life, and it can take it away just as quickly. When a gamma ray burst from two colliding stars hits the atmosphere, the deadly radiation delivers agonizing death and immediately wipes out half the planet. As people slowly realize the extent of the catastrophe, supermarkets become battlegrounds. Part 7: Gamma Ray Burst When a gamma ray burst from two colliding stars hits the atmosphere, the deadly radiation delivers agonizing death and immediately wipes out half the planet.
There's only a few flatbed railcars in the whole of North America that are capable of moving one of these things. Civilization is collapsing, and billions are in peril, thanks to a catastrophe that has wiped out electrical power everywhere With a deadly strike from space. You guys don't need any money. It's because the overload was so intense, they just literally exploded off the pylons. Now, even the batteries have died. Every day, the world consumes 94 million barrels of oil, most of which is pumped through pipelines using electricity.
They have to do the equivalent of hiking up a 500-foot cliff just in the hope of getting a one-liter bottle of water. How would modern humans cope with a hailstorm of falling rocks and debris, mega tsunamis, out of control fires, blast-furnace temperatures, and a destroyed ozone layer? If one hit our planet today, would we survive? Too light for the hardcore doomsday preppers, too far-fetched for the scientifically-minded, the show lacks credibility at times and, of, course, mostly fit for entertainment, yet it does contain curious facts, and gives plenty of information to research further. And it won't be the first time. Part 6: Mega Eruption For the first time in human history, a volcanic hyper eruption blows through the surface of the Earth. Families like the preppers in Colorado, who fled to their well-stocked cabin, have fended off gangs of bandits and protected their resources.
