Wrath of God: Disasters In America - Season 1 Episode 3 Torrents of Death
Floods can sweep the earth clean before them, uprooting trees and demolishing buildings with ease. Once free, they are all but impossible to contain, and unfortunate victims must simply try to ride out the waters and hope for the best. 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, yet the blame was laid squarely on one man. Revisit the devastating Mississippi floods of 1993, which caused 12 billion in damage. TORRENTS OF DEATH is the ultimate examination of what happens when man's control of water fails.
