"After Armageddon", a 2-hour 'story' of total collapse (brought on by pandemic flu) on The History Channel (with 1 hr of commercials), was aired last night (Jan 9, 10), probably previously, and certainly to be repeated again and again.

On one hand, I was somewhat surprised by the blunt, matter of fact tone of the interviewees (NONE of the familiar doomer faces, BTW).

OTOH, the family used to illustrate the personal dilemma/impacts was miraculously provided with exactly what they needed when they needed it (e.g. instant water and food caches months after collapse and mega-death, eternal fuel tanks, blind armed 'bandits', et al)

So, IMO, some of this was reasonably realistic while much of it was an overt stretch of credulity.

So, I'm wondering if anyone else saw this and what their reaction is to presenting a psuedo-graphic "worse case scenario" to the American't sheeple.

That family made a bad mistake by not leaving the L.A. metro area shortly after the situation started.

IMO, any family currently in the LA metro (or any other) is in serious trouble NOW.
