Would that have been Life After People?
Very good show that explained what would happen to the world if humanity disappeared. How nature would slowly reclaim the planet as the man made bits began to fail.
How the dams would fall with no one to open the floodgates.
How the skyscrapers would deteriorate without constant maintenance.
Even went into the pets left behind and how the mongrels would adapt better than most.
It used to be on one of the history or science channels every year.
It may have disappeared since the history channels rarely show history and the science channels rarely show science.
Yes - that was it. I think I watch one show. It was pretty interesting though. I was at a house yesterday that was falling apart - vacant for several years. We did just paint our house and a new roof a few years ago, but it seems our house doesn’t require a whole bunch of work all the time. I suppose just living in it and opening the doors and the heat running is enough to keep the decay away.
There’s an abandoned frame house up the road from us. It
has been empty a long time. Now, the deterioration is
really evident & nature is taking it over. It was fairly
old to start with; the residents probably either died or
went to a nursing home. Probably no heirs who wanted to
live in it. Now it’s what I call “ramshackle”. Our place
may end up like that. It’s in the woods; a modest place &
son is the only heir & he lives up north. We upkeep it
pretty well as we’re able. Husband wants to leave the
place to his brother & SIL & their kids. Not fair to our
son; but I’ve fought that battle all I intend to fight it.
He *may* outlive me; but then again, he may not. I’m
exhausted with his petulance & I don’t view that bunch
through the same rose-colored glasses that he does.
