-- Special Reached 7 Million Viewers --

In its worst crisis since World War II, Japan faces disaster on an epic scale.

A death toll likely in the tens of thousands, massive destruction of homes and businesses, shortages of water and power, and the specter of nuclear meltdown.

With exclusive footage, NOVA captures the unfolding human drama and offers a clear-headed investigation of what triggered the earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent nuclear crisis.

Can science and technology ever prevent devastation in the face of overwhelmingly powerful forces of nature?

Arlington, VA, April 1, 2011 -- The NOVA science series episode, "Japan's Killer Quake," was watched by an estimated 7 million viewers[1], based on Nielsen data from 49 metered markets. This marks the series' largest audience for an original broadcast in the last five years.

Through first-person accounts from those who survived and from experts and scientists currently on the scene, "Japan's Killer Quake" gives scientific context to the chain of events responsible for one of the most destructive disasters in recorded history. The original one-hour documentary that took viewers moment by moment through Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami premiered on Wednesday, March 30th, and is now available on PBS.org/video.

  • This earthquake was much worse than the Kobe earthquake in 1995.

  • 60 seconds warning....Wow!

  • Main difference being my oven doesn't stay hot for months and years. I wish they wouldn't use that analogy. Its not residual heat energy keeping these things hot, its radioactivity.
