World's Worst Disasters

Using a mixture of rare archive footage and dramatic 3D animated reconstructions, this series shows what happens when natural forces come into conflict with humans – with devastating results. Each episode of this series focuses on one type of natural disaster, giving examples of some of the largest or most devastating in recent years. From volcanoes, earthquakes, typhoons and avalanches – to ones that us humans may have more of a hand in, such as forest fires and landslides. (texte officiel du distributeur)
