Civilization is collapsing, |
00:00:01.836 - 00:00:05.270 |
and billions are in peril, |
00:00:05.373 - 00:00:08.107 |
thanks to a catastrophe |
00:00:08.209 - 00:00:10.242 |
that has wiped out
electrical power everywhere... |
00:00:10.344 - 00:00:13.445 |
With a deadly strike from space. |
00:00:16.017 - 00:00:18.317 |
- There would be massive death
and destruction. |
00:00:20.621 - 00:00:22.855 |
There's just no two ways
about it. |
00:00:22.957 - 00:00:24.868 |
Will you be ready... |
00:00:29.430 - 00:00:33.098 |
when doomsday strikes? |
00:00:33.200 - 00:00:35.000 |
Can any of us survive? |
00:00:35.102 - 00:00:36.935 |
150 years ago, |
00:00:49.884 - 00:00:51.784 |
a giant solar flare heaved
a chunk of the Sun |
00:00:51.886 - 00:00:55.054 |
into our planet. |
00:00:55.156 - 00:00:58.824 |
It knocked out the world's first |
00:00:58.926 - 00:01:00.203 |
primitive electric system, |
00:01:00.227 - 00:01:02.127 |
the telegraph. |
00:01:02.229 - 00:01:04.897 |
Experts agree: |
00:01:04.999 - 00:01:06.665 |
the next strike is overdue. |
00:01:06.767 - 00:01:10.335 |
What would happen |
00:01:10.438 - 00:01:11.537 |
if the same size storm |
00:01:11.639 - 00:01:13.005 |
struck our modern world
right now? |
00:01:13.107 - 00:01:17.076 |
