TLC Presents: Great Quakes
Premieres October 31st, 1999, 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET
They are as frightening as they are fascinating. Striking at a moment's notice,
virtually anyplace at anytime, earthquakes remain one of Mother Nature's great
geologic mysteries. For centuries they've reshaped the landscape and toppled
cities from San Francisco to St. Louis, Tokyo to Turkey. For centuries our
inability to predict when and where they will erupt has left us powerless and
ill-prepared.
Yet with each successive quake, we are learning more about what causes them
and where they are likely to strike next. GREAT QUAKES examines some of
the most significant tremblors of our time. More than just a lesson in geology,
this program blends science and history, while examining the mystery behind
these incredible disasters.
