TONIGHT (THURSDAY 17TH APRIL) BBC2 9PM
Could we (and the Americans in this case) survive a mega-tsunami?
Starting off a kilometre high, travelling at the speed of a jet aircraft, and heading for us. It doesn't make for a good outcome. Hollywood-style graphics and real-life archive brings home an imagined near-future scenario, all based on cutting-edge science.
The original broadcast of a version of this programme (Horizon: Wave of Destruction Oct 2000, available on Youtube) caused controversy as it presented a worst-case scenario of a worst-case scenario.
Even the Daily Mail website says "If this alarming Horizon film is to be believed"
the east coast of the U.S. is in serious danger."
It will be interesting to see if this programme paints a different picture,
as it is not branded as a 'Horizon' programme.
