Floods: Torrents of Death DVD |
|
This authoritative program tells the tragic tales of some of the worst
floods the nation has ever seen. Learn the horrifying story of the
Johnstown Flood disaster of 1889, where a dam built to create a private
fishing lake for the wealthy burst, sweeping thousands of people to their
death. Leading historians reveal how one of America's worst floods was
caused by Los Angeles' unquenchable thirst. Revisit the devastating
Mississippi floods of 1993, which caused 12 billion in damage. |
