"WELCOME TO EARTH: POPULATION 0. If humans were to suddenly disappear, what would happen to our planet - the structures we've built, the everyday items we take for granted, animals (domesticated and wild), plants, trees?Abandoned skyscrapers would, after hundreds of years, become "vertical ecosystems" complete with birds, rodents and even plant life. One small animal might be responsible for bringing down the Hoover Dam hydro-electric plant. Swelled rivers, crumbling bridges and buildings, grizzly bears in California and herds of buffalo returning to the Great Western Plains: In a world without humans, these would be the visual hallmarks. Our cars would shrivel to piles of dust, our house pets would be overtaken by flourishing wildlife and most of the records of our human story-books, photos, records-would fade quickly, leaving little evidence that we ever existed. Using feature film quality visual effects and top experts in the fields of engineering, botany, ecology, biology, geology, climatology and archaeology, Life After People provides an amazing visual journey through the ultimately hypothetical. The 1986 nuclear power plant accident at Chernobyl and its aftermath provides a riveting and emotional case study of what can happen after humans have moved on. The ghostly silence and decay of this once thriving city brings to light just how temporary our modern day structures can be. Life After People goes to remote islands off the coast of Maine to search for traces of abandoned towns, beneath the streets of New York to see how subway tunnels may become watery canals, to the Montana wilderness to divine the destiny of the bears and wolves. Humans won't be around forever, and now we can see in detail, for the very first time, the world that will be left behind in Life After People.
