Great disasters
Description
Caused both by humans and by nature, disasters have played an unforgettable part in the history of the 20th century. This program contains footage of the 1937 Hindenburg disaster at Lakehurst, the 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse, and the aftermath of Pan Am flight 103's mid-air explosion over Lockerbie and the 1998 high-speed train crash at Eschede. Clips of natural catastrophes include flooding in New England; hurricanes in Florida; avalanches in France and Austria; earthquakes in Turkey, Taiwan, and Mexico City; and volcanic eruptions in Hawaii, New Zealand, Montserrat, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.
