I actually enjoyed the BBC special more than the movie 2012 - thought the 2012 special effects were awesome though!
If Emmerich makes enough disaster movies eventually he’ll get one right
(From the BBC special, does the Yellowstone caldera pattern really show an eruption every 600K years, making the next one due now? If so, maybe no wonder TPTB censored that segment of the BBC special when it showed here. Enquiring minds will have to check it out)
My guess — it was “censored” to make time for commercials.
