HISTORYCHANNEL

Hidden dangers once held at bay by humans erupt with force, from everyday objects ready to explode to chemical plants and locust plagues; as nature and human legacy collide, these ticking time bombs threaten to send the world up in smoke.

Life After People

Ticking Time Bombs

From soaring skyscrapers like One World Trade Center to impenetrable vaults like Fort Knox, humanity's strongest structures were engineered to defy disaster; but in a world without people, even the mightiest begin to crack.

Built to Last

When humanity vanishes, the vast and fragile infrastructure hidden underground-from subways and pipelines to one of the big coal seams in the United States-begins to unravel.

The Underground Rises

After humanity ceases to exist, the homes we built from suburban mansions and Miami condos to rural farmhouses face a relentless siege by fire, flood, wildlife and time.

Home on the Strange

In a world without humans, the deserts once tamed rise to reclaim great triumphs: from Las Vegas to Dubai's Burj Khalifa; as sand, salt, and sun dismantle cities, the wastelands quietly take back the ground borrowed.

Sands of Time

In the absence of humanity, the world's cities like New York, Orlando and Rio de Janeiro are reclaimed by nature, as forests rise, animals roam free and fire and flood undo centuries of construction.

Urban Jungles

When humanity disappears, the global retail machine collapses, malls rot, shipping lanes turn explosive and ghostly grocery stores become battlefields for rodents, predators and time.

Shop 'Til You Drop

In a world without humans, water turns from life-giver to destroyer, flooding cities, collapsing dams and triggering ancient forces long kept at bay.
