Add a CommentThis is a 2009 43-minute TV program produced for A&E Television Networks, LLC.
Ever since humans first tried to understand our own creation, we've been obsessed with our own demise.
I think it is anybody's guess.
In this program, some scientists explain how Armageddon could likely come in the form of a deadly virus.
Travelling back in time with two British scientists, you see an asteroid impact in the near east thousands of years ago.
They tell you that this is the source of dozens of Apocalyptic legends, including the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Lastly, you hear the chilling story from former Soviet nuclear defense specialist about the day he saved the world from the World War III.
It is a quite interesting and thought-provoking program.
