History Channel; Life After People.

[wayzim]

Life After People. This little bit of 'What If?' debuted on the History Channel monday and was rerun yesterday, taking us from the second humans vanish off the planet to when the last bit of metal crumbled back into its' individual components. Using modest CGI we watch the progressive death of the cities over some 500 hundred years, the reclaiming of the highways in much less, a real life city in the Ukraine overrun by nature in the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear accident over twenty years ago. Some of the scenarios looked like they were inspired by Will Smith's 'I Am Legend.' and the show ran an hour too long, but overall a fun view of just how flimsy our hold on the world really is. Who woulda thunk that Hoover Dam could run for two years on automatic pilot? Wayne Z "The Glittering lights of Casino Row, which once attracted tourists from around the world, were dim relics. The shining windows and metallic buildings were now dulled by dust storms that swept through this giant graveyard of Humanity. " DeadFall: The Novella

I caught a little bit of this. Pure, frothing propaganda, in my opinion, made specifically for the blame-humans-first crowd that consider the human race as being more of a pestilence than an actual part of the circle of life. The same crowd that gives autism to children with mercury and lead filled vaccinations, the same crowd that goes to the poorest, most uneducated neighborhoods begging for the women to get abortions and bribe their husbands into getting their balls clipped for money, the same people that put 12 year old girls on the pill, the same eugenics crowd that dumps billions of dollars into planned parenthood, the same crowd that pushes for zero human population growth, the same people that praised the nazis for their eugenics and sterilization programs in the 30s, the same elitists that strive to create a neo-feudal global system where the population of peasants is reduced by 50%, while the other 50% licks their boots and cooks and cleans for them. Pure, frothing propaganda.

Pure, frothing propaganda. Then what exactly do you think they got wrong? They showed that without humans around to maintain it, the manmade world will rot away, and nature will assert itself. That's not propaganda. That's exactly what happens when no people are around.

Pure, frothing propaganda. is this a cry for help?

Pure, frothing propaganda. Im not sure exactly what to say ....other than..... "???????????" Attach this same post to the discovery channel's "Walking With Dinosaurs" and it makes about the same amount of sense.... The premise of the show is simple...."what would happen if humans suddenly were gone"....so I just dont get how this idea generated this sort of responce from you..... *shrugs*...wierd man...wierd....

another thread dragged completely off topic by the troll of the month. -now on the topic of the subject, unless the above mentioned posters right and nature doesnt exist, this book is what i think this show was based on, and what the thread i mentioned earlier was about: http://www.worldwithoutus.com/index2.html heres the blurb: What are some of the changes we could expect in New York City alone if all humans vanished? Within two days, without pumping, New York’s subway would impassably flood. Within twenty years, water-soaked steel columns that support the street above the East Side’s 4-5-6 trains would corrode and buckle. As Lexington Avenue caves in, it becomes a river. In the first few years with no heat, pipes burst all over town, the freeze-thaw cycle moves indoors, and things start to seriously deteriorate. Plugged sewers, deluged tunnels and streets reverting to rivers will conspire to waterlog foundations and destabilize their huge loads, toppling structures. Gradually the asphalt jungle will give way to a real one. OH NOES- I HAS SPOKEN SCIENC-DURR, PROPAGANDA!

I haven't even seen the show and that dude's post looks like B.S. to me. Does anyone know if this show will be aired again anytime soon in the US? I missed it and would love to see it. At least some clips on the net, maybe?

At least some clips on the net, maybe? history channel's site doesn't say but the history channel tends to re-run things so i'd watch their schedule. the dvd has been released (at least it is being advertised for sale on the history channels site) though so you might be able to pick that up from netflix.
