Mega Disasters is a History Channel original series that explores potential catastrophic threats to individual cities, countries and the entire globe. The two mega disasters of the 2004 tsunami and Hurricane Katrina in 2005 inspired the series and provided a reference point for many of the episodes. Excepting only two shows devoted to man-made disasters, the threats explored can be divided into three categories: meteorological, geological, and cosmic.

abstract
  • Mega Disasters is a History Channel original series that explores potential catastrophic threats to individual cities, countries and the entire globe. The two mega disasters of the 2004 tsunami and Hurricane Katrina in 2005 inspired the series and provided a reference point for many of the episodes. Excepting only two shows devoted to man-made disasters, the threats explored can be divided into three categories: meteorological, geological, and cosmic. Each episode follows a general pattern: 1) introduction teasing the catastrophic outcome of the threat, 2) background on the science and scientists warning of the threat, 3) presentation of similar previous disasters, 4) recap of the evidence, and finally, 5) a realistic scenario using computer models and special effects to flesh out the tantalizing details of the disaster.
