The Worst Possible US Disaster Just Got EVEN WORSE

A megaquake can last just a few minutes. But what happens in the hours, days, and even weeks afterward can be far more terrifying. Collapsed buildings, tsunamis, fires, broken roads, power outages, and entire cities cut off from help. And that's only the beginning. When hospitals are overwhelmed, clean water becomes scarce, and aftershocks keep shaking already damaged structures, surviving the initial earthquake may turn out to be just the first challenge. In this video, we take a closer look at what really happens after a megaquake, why the aftermath can be deadlier than the shaking itself, and how quickly a major disaster can turn into a much bigger crisis. Because when the ground finally stops shaking, the real nightmare might only be getting started.
