How would humanity fare against the worst disasters imaginable? Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Since the dawn of civilisation humanity has struggled to survive and overcome the perils of life on Earth. Tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes, meteor strikes--all these and more have battered the Earth for millions of years, and the human race has so far endured the hardships of Mother Nature’s wilder moments. But as our population grows and expands, with cities becoming ever more built-up and densely populated, the potential for devastation on a massive scale also grows.

Expert analysis and cutting-edge 3D computer animation are used in this collection of all three series of this popular HISTORY™ programme, looking at what would happen if the violent force of the natural world came into close contact with our carefully constructed society.
