Abstract:
"It's often called the Big One--an earthquake so powerful it could flatten Los Angeles and drown it in the sea. This program shows what could actually happen if one of nature's most feared time bombs goes off. With the help of state-of-the-art computer scenarios, the video follows a potential quake moment by moment as it unleashes its phenomenal power on southern California. In an unexpected twist, viewers will discover that the biggest threat to Los Angeles comes not from the dreaded San Andreas fault but from an unseen--and only recently discovered--geological feature known as the Puente Hills fault. Cutting-edge anti-earthquake technology is also featured"--Container label.
