DISASTER TECHNOLOGY, History Channel, 2000
Despite the destruction and death they leave behind, many of the worst disasters have a more positive legacy as well--an increased understanding of the forces we face and how to handle them.
MODERN MARVELS (TM) examines five pivotal disasters that led to remarkable technological breakthroughs which have saved lives and communities.
Dramatic photos and footage capture the extent of the damage, and we'll see how people responded, tracing the development of the DISASTER TECHNOLOGY created as a result.
Each one has significantly lowered the death toll and contributed to a better understanding of the complex interaction between man and his environment.
