  • i think ill be way dead when this will happen and my grand kids will probably all be living in the moon :P

  • when this happen

  • Your lifetime is what let's say 70 years you would have to times that by 10^4 to get just one interval between eruptions. To use an analogy that OneTaoThree said a standard size bucket of water your life would be less than a teaspoon of water that would have to fill a bucket. Really not likely. But there is this whole 21/12/12 thing. So it really is just guess work. One thing is for sure: Yellowstone will erupt and when it does; All You Can Do Is Run. :) Have a good night tonight.

  • @AlexJaxzon The whole 2012 thing is bullshit. Don't ever listen to such idiocy.

  • BBC is announcing on making a 2nd Supervolcano movie. An aftermath sequel to this one

  • Hmm... No 9:16

    Amazing film though :D

  • @Metagross923 thats weird

    

  • Soooooo... Basically here is a solution follow these instructions:

    1. Get a gun.

    2. BLOW YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!!!!

    I hoped my advice has helped you.

  • Did the roof fall and kill the knee-gar yet?

  • @adicgozinya racist shit face

  • @adicgozinya what you called him is FUCKING illegal so shut the hell up you sad racist dick

  • When I was a kid in Alaska, we had a real problem with volcanic ash from one of the Aleutian volcanoes. It boogered up car engines and got into everything- it's finer than talcum powder. Then a lot of caribou, etc. died slowly from eating grass coated with the ash, which brought more predators into the area. Even a little ash is a problem.

  • Clearly this film was made prior to the discovery (I think it was around 2006?) that the magma chamber under Yellowstone is three times the size of the one shown in the film. It could go off tomorrow, it could go off twenty years from now, it could go off two thousand years from now when global warming will probably have already wiped us all out anyway. We never know.

  • @onetaothree yeah,and when it will happen,hundreds of millions of people will die,first from the overall eruption, and afterwards from the resulting volcanic winter who will bring massive temperature downfall,acid rains ans photosynthesis shutdown....and now,we are on the verge of this supervolcanic eruption,as we are in the right period of his eruptive cycle

  • @blazerjack117 Yeah but like I said, it could literally be next week or it could be thousands of years down the road. Considering that fact that it's already 40,000 years overdue, 2,000 more years or 3,000 more years is just a drop in the bucket. It's just too unpredictable .... it's like where I live, we have Mount Rainier that could go off anytime with the force of ten times Mount St. Helens, but it just sits there, and we never know when .....

  • @onetaothree

    Volcanoes are the biggest teases

  • What this movie doesn't show, is the documentary showed after this. It stated that Yellowstone caldera may move under a mountain range that would be too thick for the magma to penetrate..... So if this eruption doesn't happen soon, it may not happen at all. At least, not in our life time. Not until the movement of the plates puts the mountain range past the caldera.

  • te bbc do these docudramas really well. thank you for posting this...it scared my wits out.

  • WOW!!!!!!!This is one incredible movie!!!From what i have been reading lately,it will most likely become a reality soon....I am hoping not....but...we will see...Thanks for posting this :-)AWESOME!!!!!!

  • Excellent film. The politicians were far more earnest and competent and well-intentioned than I believe would actually be the case, but I guess there was no point in showing a bad situation made even worse by self-interested, uncaring, incompetent weasels and Americans dying in droves because of it. Things were bad enough even with everyone doing their jobs to the best of their ability. Hey! Heckuva job, Brownie!

  • "Nature will recover"??? Please! "Nature" was never out of fucking balance.

  • @senhuan but it has 5 times in earths history. exp. The meteor that hit earth 65 million years ago

  • Does someone know what will happen to Puerto Rico???

  • @Dennys787 Small amount of ash at most, but it would be affected by the cool down.

  • @hop208 awwww, crap, well, if Uk got screwed by the cold, I guess its just common sence that puerto Rico would be affected, after all its closer to Yellowstone

  • @Dennys787 Yeah it's scary stuff. In real life the ground at Yellowstone has risen 2.8 inches a year recently and as much as 10 inches in some places.  I live right outside Philadelphia. We would definitely be feeling the cool down here.

  • good thing i live in the north west of washington state lol, I will be one of the least affected people

  • @rageblade233 Hahaha yeah, me too I live in Friday Harbor I'd be trapped on the freakin' island but I'd be alive lol.

  • @rageblade233 Reiner? Think again. Chain reaction.

  • I can't tell if its snow or ash at the end. I thought they said that the Southwestern US was mostly spared.

    

  • Everyone thinks that the Supervolcano is just another eruption. Its not. Some say that the eruption is going to signify the end of the world. Some others say we can recover after this happens. Whichever you guys agree with, post a response to my comment on your input. I am quite uncertain myself.

  • The magnitude of its effects is very much downplayed. When it shall erupt, it shall be more than 1,000 times of Toba. More than half the humanity shall vanish. The rest shall regret to live. There is only one way: Harness & controlled explosions at suitable intervals starting now. We have the technology to dig deeper & deeper. That is the only way I see. It should be the Top Priority for humanity to deal with this menace. YES WE CAN. YES WE CAN. YES WE CAN.

  • @amoralis123

    Uhhh...no. Do your research. Yellowstone isnt even near HALF of what Toba was. Toba nearly wiped out the USA. Further, depending on the people you ask, the geology of Yellowstone could lead to a VEI 5-6 eruption from a couple of vents, its very unlikely that the whole Caldera would erupt. It would however cause massive damage to states that were east of the park.

  • @DeamonStorm666

    Sorry, Toba nearly wiped out Humanity. My bad.

  • @DeamonStorm666 I hope you are right. There is no way to calculate the forthcoming eruption accurately. If the size of the caldera of the past eruption is the guideline then Yellowstone is bigger than Toba. Eruptions vary according to the surface tension. Increase in the size of a caldera is a reasonable base to calculate. I am only guessing. A full force eruption will most likely make the US population disappear. It will be very cold after.ward for a number of years. I hope it is apre moi

  • @amoralis123

    If there was a full force, full chamber/caldera eruption, about 5 states would be vaporized in seconds. The USA would be come a waste land within weeks and the rest of the world would be plunged into some very severe winters. But, humanity would survive, but it would be a few very lean years before things started getting back to normal. We survived the last Ice Age, we certainly have the technology and infrastructure to survive this.

  • @DeamonStorm666 The only way I see is fusing it under controlled conditions by digging deeper. The deepest hole dug by the Russians at Kola Peninsula is 40,000 feet/12,216m. It is almost 1/3rd of the calculated thickness of Earth's crust at sea level. Calderas, due to last eruption, tend to be less dense than aggregates or solid rocks. Sonar can determine the density & thickness. In the process we might harness that energy? Sweden is the largest user of Earth heat. US can & should lead..

  • I hope to god that i'm dead before this happens.

  • Pretty cool documentary. Though some parts were overly dramatized and I think some of the numbers and facts are off, it's still a great portrayal of the kind of chaos that would follow in such a cataclysmic event. Sure, we'll survive like we did 70000 years ago with the Lake Toba eruption (didn't even have technology back then), but I don't even wanna imagine how much everyone's standard of living is gonna fall. Scary shit...

  • To anyone who thinks the eruption is 'overdue', that is not necessarily the case at all. The last 3 caldera eruptions occurred 2.1m, 1.3m and 640k years ago. If an eruption happened every 600k years, why is the biggest gap 800k years, and the smallest 660k years? If we use those intervals, the eruption is not due for another 20,000-160,000 years. Of course, these things do not work like clockwork, so it could erupt at any time, but the 'overdue' theory just does not fly.

  • Weird ending

  • @Antron281998 what i want to know is if that rick guy died.

  • so let me get this straight....yellowstone, a supervolcano wont erupt longer than say Mt St Helen's dome eruptions 2004 till 2008 or so?

  • @ThomYorke64 to see what kind of bullshit they would end it with..

  • wow man....epic! Let me just say a thing: previously we saw two lives (the girl and guy in the pick-up) wiped out by pyroclastic clouds, while "an old" man (the "unintelligible" one) was flyin' away with the helicopter? Let me ask you again.....WHY? P.S. I have to say, on the other hand, the same guy started talking something similar to english in the end (perhaps politicians have forced him to do it XD)

  • @Serj90 The pyroclastic flow travels at about 450 mph depending on the eruption but it stays close to the ground. and can end at any point in time so running from it might save you

    a car can reach about 200mph or more for a little bit before it breaks down. a helicopter is slow but it's faster than a car and can also go higher to get father away it also doesn't have the limitations of the land like a car does.

  • Not to be the jerk here but wasn't this sort pf a anti-climax or letdown. On the hologram it showed a huge explosion, but here it sorta peters out, but Yay the volcano has stopped

  • Fowzei777 needs to retake high school general science. Sharmaine24 is correct. It is impossible to grow anything in ash alone. If we were talking about an inch or three, that would be one thing That small amount of ash can be cleared away or tilled into existing soil, overall enriching it. Several feet of ash, like what is depicted here would bury any useful soil, and possibly poison the soil with the chemicals it contains.

  • This program identifies the environ-mental and geopolitical problems that have occurred with earthquakes and tsunamis. The disaster aftermaths of Haiti and Japan are ongoing with a severely damaged infrastructure.

    The environ-mental crisis that has arisen with damaged nuclear reactors in Russia and Japan have long term consequences associated with distributed radiation. Governmental self-interest created safe-haven in fortified underground bunkers the world over.

    Re: OMEGA by Stewart Farrar.

  • i hope that that sumatra thing errupts its a long way from europe and the usa so the westeten society will live fort

  • @metalforever78 you spoke like a true "human"

  • Good documantary movie. But yeah better hope this doesn't errupt in our lifetime tho.

  • i seriously hopes yellowstone wont erupt. cause u seriously dont want to die young.

  • GOSH YOU GUYS... Mother nature just need to a BIG leek >+> you guys are doing pooping everyday, so why can't her?

  • this is how life begins....lol.....thats funny....

  • @fowzie777 but  true

  • @sharmaine24 - not even close...if you believe that you'll believe anything...you have no idea the compound probabilities against accidental life...it would require miracle after mathematical miracle...you can believe it if you wish but thats all it is...a belief.

  • @fowzie777 what i mean or was thiking in my mind is that the ground left behind after the volcano is actually very nutrient thus plant life can grow in rich nutrient soil and and fauna will then follow

    so life begins again

  • @sharmaine24 volcanic ash is sterile. it helps make great soil centuries later, but you can't grow anything in ash itself.

  • @wadyano well there you go you learn a new thing everyday i knew that the soil after a volcano was extremely fertile a very long time later but was not aware that ash is sterile

  • I just finished watching this whole thing a few minutes ago...........those of you who say the ending was happy compared to what you'd think; I have to completely disagree. In fact, it was actually pretty pessimistic{look at 8:56 onwards} if anything at all; there may be many tens of millions who do die, but humanity will survive largely intact; there most likely wouldn't be billions of deaths attributable to Yellowstone..........

  • ..........even in all but perhaps the most dire worst case scenarios.

    At any rate, for once, I'm actually glad we didn't get a Hollywood style ending where we end up with a PoTA{Planet of the Apes, btw.} type world.

  • Okay, lets wait for yellowstone. Looking at the time that passed between his last two eruptions he should erupt "soon". "Soon" means within the next 100000 years of course. Could start next week or could sleep on for a long time. I would nearly bet, that humankind will manage to extinct itselfes befor yellowstone ever gets his chance.

  • I dont hope that this mini movie series will get hopes up for Amerika, cause the chances of that it will end well like it this in this series, is very small.

  • As Jim Morrison said, "No one here gets out alive."

    What is important are your deeds, not your words.

    Get out there and serve.

  • personally, this is scary...... not only the fact that it is possible, but the fact that most of us won't be able to survive. but the end does have a point- when something dies, something new is born. i only hope i wont be around to see this actually happen

  • @iRawr1011 Yeah problem is they can't date this thing. It can be 1 year or it can be a 1000 years.

    Personally not to scare but I think it might be sooner then we think. Cause facts over the passed few years show random nature events happen much more in a shorter period of time. And now just today the thing that hit Japan etc etc.

  • where is every body ? a lower staff woman is running USA

  • The reason Yellowstone has not wiped us out is that the last time it happened we did not exsist. Figure it was over 600k years ago.

  • @Zoomer30 Humans have been around for millions of yers.

  • The whole "drilling down to siphon off the magma" is fantasy. The experts claim that at depth it's so hot that the shaft would just close up and nothing would happen.

  • Brilliant! I'm going to Yellowstone with a very large drill (lol)

  • something will happen in 2012 but not volcanoes

  • Supervolcano 2012. End of Days.

  • It'll be funny if this happens in 2012. Then everyone will know that 2012 really was the end of the world.

  • What alot of riot. More bullshit.

  • what is that last picture at 9:01 saying? and if something like this were to happen and there were no sunlight then no one could survive since without the sun plants won't be giving out oxygen and you would not be able to grow crops which would mean that livestock would die, and eventually, we would all die.

  • @guns949

    if that happened, how come we are even here? this wasnt the only supervolcano, yellowstone has blown before and life still managed - so yeah - it wont be the end, there'll still be a few people left

  • @getefix3 what happened before was not to the same extent as what they showed in the video and it was 2 million years ago when no humans existed, so maybe over time life will come back but if it did happen now most life on earth would be wiped out.

  • update to supervolcano count there is now 8

  • These types of events should remind us of how lucky we are, and how destructive nature can be, which is almost beyond our comprehension, until we witness it firsthand.

  • by and ay = before and after yellowstone lmfao!

  • well, this shit was at least better than 2012

  • @fille906 well in many ways it was, since 2012 is about beliving, Yellowstone is a fact.

  • That female FEMA director is cute in a MILF-y sort of way.

  • Why isn't anyone wearing face masks?

  • @mattysim I agree 100% and the helicopters rotor blades are moving too fast and are vertical to get clogged

  • @kierenscoots97: Plenty of choppers went down in Iraq due to sand. Volcanic ash is even more insidious.

  • This may as well be a forum...

  • you in this case i prefer a quick bullet true me head thats better then to die in ashfall or pyroclastich searches this is a die or die cenario no way you would survive it i think the vulcano would erupt for like a month with that size of magma chamber i think its just a quick dead or slow dead

  • Thanks for uploading!

  • Yes ill just walk about 5-6 miles in pitch blackness with tiny rocks pelting me and hopefully just hopefully i will live!

  • There are no such things as dormant volcanoes.....they are either active or extinct. Fantastic doco drama pretty techincally accurate..although im pretty sure the choppers engines would get shredded up by the sillicone fragments from the ash

  • thanks for the upload m8

  • Let me set the chances of this actually happening. This ending happening.....

    about 2.35% or if your lucky. 10%. Fuck. This drama became another Hollywood

  • @godofmajora: The chances of something like this happening are 100%; the history of Yellowstone/Lake Taupo/Lake Toba/Owen's Valley makes that clear. Will it happening your lifetime? Negligible, but not zero. In the next 200,000 years? Probably pretty close to even.

  • The caldera shown in the zoom out at the end is way too big. Rick Lieberman was talking 60x90 km, the one shown is more than 300 km in diameter. (Compare it to the California coast, it's the same distance as San Fran to Cape Mendocino)

  • @TomLuTon I think it increased in size after the eruption.

  • ..unless you cool it with water and tap the steam for making electrical generation and hydrogen to pay for the cost of cooling her down before she blows again. My kind were devestated last time. Iceland does this energy tapping, I am sure you can hire them for training you on the first few generation plants

  • everyone in the film has a faint or distinct British accent. Yeah I know it's BBC but it's fake as you can get

  • @GPSJustin I guess now you know how British people feel when American's do horrible British accents and claim it's the real deal? :P

  • @GPSJustin Check the credits, most of the actors ARE American. Good job.

  • Comment removed

  • theres a reason helmets with gas masks r made

  • The chances of this happening are zero, nada, nothing.... so keep going to school, so you can be brainwashed into working, consuming and paying your taxes like good slaves. The economy and Goldman Sachs comes first above all else. So fucking get back to work. As Hitler said "Work sets you free"

    Would take more than a tin pot Volcano to stop the civilization we have built. Sorry to disappoint you all economic slaves a volcano wont save you

  • @Dandaniels1978

    Hahahaha, Just look what a financial crisis can do to the world economy, and that is "nothing" compared to what a scare like this would cause, the stock markets would crash, the dollar would become worthless and basicly the entire US economy would collapse in a short time, followed quickly by most other western currencies as their value also dropped sharply.

    It's far easier than you seem to think to bring ecenomies to their knee's, recent history shows that well enough.

  • @BeardedBill86 Buddy either get back studying or get back to work. All this bollocks about the end of the world is fucking "yawningly" boring. Even if Armageddon did strike the world will continue in whatever form the chaos left behind. I get the impression some of you would love this shit to happen. Go get laid, fall in love, fuck a buffalo, wank your rabbit or do something that contributes to making me richer. Get a grip, get a life and get off Youtube

  • @Dandaniels1978 How about you get off your high horse and stop telling people you know nothing about what to do? I don't care who you are, you're not psychic and since you're posting on youtube yourself, I'd say you should take your own advice first before laying judgements on others.

    If it's so "yawningly" boring, why are you commenting on videos about it? What odd behaviour from someone so successfull and objective in their lives? Oh right, you're here to save me yeah? Get real.

  • What will really happen to Europe if Yellowstone erupted?

  • @ShwangShwing The same as the US, just not quite as bad at the start, we'd get less ash but we'd still get the harsh temperature changes, the famine and all the rest of it.. there'd be no more economy in any European country as we know them now.

    So we'd be screwed, basicly..

  • the world would return back to the dark ages =[

  • Thanks very much for putting all of this on youtube-i couldn't find it on iplayer anymore. its great that once a part had finished, the next video suggestion was in fact the next part, so that made life alot easier!! thanks once again.

  • 8:54

    The ending creeped me out with suspense. O_O

  • "It's not just only going to affect

    North America,

    it's going to affect the whole freakin World."

    But somewhere after 2012 otherwise not in our lifetime.

  • @kasrocket63 dont be a retard it shows in the program it happens randomly and USGS dont have a chance of getting it right untill it actualy happens

  • @daftdader45678 Yes, because everything a Hollywood-ish TV-series shows is clearly the truth!

  • @Athaeus umm actualy if you olook at rhew title it says all the science in the rpogram is rite and iv just done this in GCSE chemistry so suck on that

  • @daftdader45678 I'm impressed you managed to spell "Science" correctly, seeing how you can't read. The title says "Supervolcano part 2 6/6".

    The events are not scientifically accurate, although much more so than in idiotic films like "2012". I get the distinct feeling you're just trolling now. Tosser.

  • @daftdader45678: There's a long ways between getting the science right (I'd give it a 90% there, with the exception of the eruption in fact happening in the next 100 years) and the depiction on the tube.

  • 2012, we aren't going to die! The end of The World isn't coming just yet! We have a long time before the end of the world comes! i say until it comes, have fun and explore the adventures yellowstone's super volcano and when the time comes close to yellowstone erupting the USGS will let us know and evacute pleanty time before it erupts!

  • @kasrocket63 Yay! .. You really trust the government to destroy their economy willfully? :) They'd keep it a secret as long as possible, money matters more to the bankers than lives, even millions of them.

    People are just numbers on paper to these people, history shows us that, sad as it is.. believe it, or you'll die relying on the government to save you.

  • @kasrocket63 And you really believe that based on facts of earlier eruptions in history.

    They mostly don't know it's going to erupt untill it's to late to evacuate most.

  • that was brilliant, thanks for the up loads

  • While the humans on earth are in the middle of WWIII, a horrible and deadly virus breaks out and millions die. But what happens next is that a huge asteroid smacks into India and 5 supervolcanoes blow at the same time causing hundreds of tidal waves.

    That's what I'm talking about.

  • @loonpolice1 Read Ray Hammon's Extinction. It sounds right up your street.

  • @loonpolice1 what what virus, ww3 might be a certainty, and a astroid that only hits india and not any other part of the world?? plzz tel mee cuz ur scarry tht shit out of mee.

  • @abu1125 relax, enjoy.

  • @loonpolice1 allright ill relax :)

  • @loonpolice1 only problem is, there are only four known supervolcanos in the world, and two are either extinct or really really dormant.

  • @loonpolice1 now thats material for a movie oh so you know there are only 4 supervolcanoes in the world :)

  • @loonpolice1 Throw in a two or three more asteroids in all the major oceans causing massive mega tsunami and you've got a deal.

  • Loved it. Thanks for taking the time and effort to post them all.

  • Comment removed

  • Yellowstone isn't the ONLY supervolcano in the world you know... Three in Asia are 2-3 tImes the size of Yellowstone... That's huge!! I tell ya... 2010 is getting closer. Another Yellowstone Supervolcano Super-EruptIon is due for 2012 you know... Prepare to take cover!! lol

  • Well, ur rite about one thing, There are 10 supervolcanos in the world and any one can become active again. Imaging if they all go off at once! I mean, If ur the type of person to believe in 2012 or if u believe in God. In the book of Revelations, it's says that, "When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss" Smoke that blocks out the sun? Hmm, that sounds like volcanic ash to me.

  • @darthnaterANDfluffy One doesn't need to believe in any gods in order to realise that what the uneducated people that wrote the Bible was talking about was quite simply a normal volcanic eruption.

  • @darthnaterANDfluffy Yeah the bible also says the earth was flat and man came from mud so stfu with this bible shit.

  • @CamrynFisher Nope yellowstone's supervolcano is the 2nd largest on the planet retard. The only one bigger is in Siberia

  • Very good documentary. I watched the entire two parts non-stop. It was very well produced but scary/unnerving, just the same. I wonder if there are any types of masks that could protect one from the particles and any kind of goggles that could keep the sharp, dangerous particles from one's eyes. I'm more worried about my daughter, as she lives in Denver.

  • @RunWalkRace: Absolutely there are protections from the ash. In the first place it is not as bad as depicted: see the stock footage where people are shoveling it off roofs? That's was form the Philippines, the Mt Pinatubo eruption. Those people are taking no special precautions, and living with it. Secondly; it is just finely ground glass; almost any cloth filter will help keep it out of the lungs, and goggles out of the eyes. It isn't poisonous or radioactive.

    I live in Denver too.

  • Well was a nice approach of what in theory can happen, unfortunately the most important matter on a volcanic explotion are the last moments neither the begining or the aftermath as a theory- scenario BBC was unable to do so in a huge unprofessionaly way! Was an US happy ending dramma that just makes me feel one more time: "If actually happens, must be in USA, in a new era, the last thing we need are them. and God save my European ass". Good but not enought as scientific data has already prove!

  • Ha Ha u Dead Biiatch

  • An eruption would only be a first strike! The fumes and dust, spread around the world, would have years of deadly affects. Crops will fail, Russia could lose all its wheat, food shortages will happen. The USA will not be able to help the rest of the world, the only "currency" that will prevail, throughout the world, will be guns and missiles! See it now: the Russian army invading all of Europe, those 3 million-plus refugees walk into Mexico, the us bombs mexico city to wipe the leaders!

  • @freestonew That assumes all the governments in the world would be fully functional, which is retarded to assume based on your other assumptions.

    Perhaps you should read a "Global catastrophe for dummies" book before commenting further.

  • this was a really good movie...thanx for the upload!

  • NZ also has a very large caldera type volcano.

  • NZ has about half a dozen Caldera type craters from memory. Lake Taupo, Okataina, Lake Rotorua among others.

  • @brianf55 yes but the point is those arent over due and have no signs of an eruption

  • @epicfailfestival - actualy yellowston is active its only sleeping there are 161 earthquakes there each year nd its not even on the fault line ....

  • @Zoomer30 yes but it is not active

  • @epicfailfestival -incorect its actually very active even while sleeping the gases its producing are sulphur & carbon minoxide along with some hydrogen even in its geysers its very active just not awake.

  • The guy who played Jock was very good but as a Yank I was having a hell of a time understanding him.

  • His name is Gary Lewis and was born in Glasgow, Scotland. He speaks with a very pronounced Glaswegian accent which I have no trouble in understanding. He is best known for his part in portraying the father of Billy Elliot in the film of the same name.

  • He says "I won't live to see another tan"

  • What is it that the (excellent) British actor says (when he ends his final monologue) at 4:30?

    "Climatologists say it will start getting better in a few years...

    but let's just say..."

    ???

  • What a shit ending I expected the whole caldera to blow not just a couple of vents! Dam guess I can wait till 2012 to see it anyway.

  • huh....i guess that could happen but i think, and i stress the fact that i said"I think" that it would last a lot longer than that

  • If that base served during the Cold War as a fallout shelter, wouldn't there be masks and oxygen tanks for atleast five people?

  • @truthclaw5: Presumably it was more than a fall out shelter. The hint is that it was a missile silo, of which there are many in the area, though not within 5km of I-25. Most of these have been sold to developers.

  • I don't like the ending... it's too "happy ending". I made research for my geographic class on these supervolcanoes, and if someday one of them erupted, we won't survive so easily. Europe would be affected too. the whole world would be concerned.

    But it's a great documentary !

  • Decent series but its interesting how they like to tone down the loss of life...I've seen this happen on other cataclysm documentaries. Just come out and say it: Most of the USA devastated, tens of millions dead, losses from nuclear winter effects, drought, plague over the rest of the world...several hundred million, if not several billion...

    BBC showed us their toned down version so as to not upset US audiences perhaps :)

  • is yellowstone the place where is the end of the world is really going to happen?

    The place has been mentioned in 2012 also

  • "for" not fir...

  • Thanks fir the upload. Loved it!

  • To those of you who wanted more; the reason it seemed underwhelming is, you fail to grasp the scale.

    The hole in the earth was 60 by 90 miles.

    Just try and wrap your noodle around that...

  • I agree but will remind that the man said 60 by 90 Kilometers not miles. Even so that is a hole roughly 30 by 55 miles. Massive by any unit of measure for certian.

  • I did like the line rick said at the end though. " Someday Yellow Stone will erupt again ,but not on my watch." Lol cause he'll be dead.

  • Well, uh....that's kinda what he meant. lol "Not on my watch" = "Not in my time". But, I don't like how it sounds, either.

  • I thought this was okay I did like the facts and hearing the history behind the yellowstone and I also thought real footage of showing the damaged buildings and cities and showing the terrified people made it seem very real and creepy something the film 2012 lacked ,but I did want to see more destruction during the volcano rather than seeing the damage after the volcano erupted that's what 2012 the movie had.
