On The History Channel®

World premiere Monday, January 21^st, 2008 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT

New York, NY, DECEMBER 4, 2007 — What would happen to planet earth if the human race were to suddenly disappear forever? Would ecosystems thrive? What remnants of our industrialized world would survive? What would crumble fastest? From the ruins of ancient civilizations to present day cities devastated by natural disasters, history gives us clues to these questions and many more in the visually stunning and thought-provoking new special LIFE AFTER PEOPLE, premiering Monday, January 21st, 2008 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on The History Channel®.

Abandoned skyscrapers would after hundreds of years, become “vertical ecosystems” complete with birds, rodents and even plant life. A particular small animal might be responsible for bringing down the Hoover Dam hydroelectric plant. Swelled rivers, crumbling bridges and buildings, grizzly bears in California and herds of buffalo returning to the Great Western Plains: in a world without humans, these would be the visual hallmarks. Our cars would shrivel to piles of dust, our house pets would be overtaken by flourishing wildlife, and most of the records of our human story—books, photos, records—would fade quickly, leaving little record that we ever existed.

Using feature film quality visual effects and top experts in the fields of engineering, botany, ecology, biology, geology, climatology, and archeology, Life After People provides an amazing visual journey through the ultimately hypothetical.

The 1986 nuclear power plant accident at Chernobyl and its aftermath provides a riveting and emotional case study of what can happen after humans have moved on. Life After People goes to remote islands off the coast of Maine to search for traces of abandoned towns, beneath the streets of New York to see how subway tunnels may become watery canals, to the Montana wilderness to divine the destiny of the bears and wolves.

Humans won't be around forever, and now we can see in detail, for the very first time, the world that will be left behind in Life After People.

The History.com Life After People minisite will feature exclusive short-form video showing the amazing ways humans could vanish from Earth and what will happen to our biggest buildings, the Earth's animals, and all of our trash once we're gone. The minisite will also offer a glimpse into the fate of pets and common household pests, and some advice on how to survive as the last person on the planet.

Life After People is produced by Flight 33 Productions for The History Channel. Executive Producers for The History Channel is are Dirk Hoogstra and Susan Werbe.
