Documentary: "Crumbling of America"

Unread postby Kristjan » Sun 06 Dec 2009, 14:10:02

Does anyone know of a website that has this documentary? It was aired a few months ago and I would really like to see it. Unfortunately I'm from outside the US which means that I can't VoD it. Youtube only has the short ad they ran on TV but not the full documentary... :cry:

It was on this past weekend.

“The Crumbling of America” History Channel

America's infrastructure is collapsing. Tens of thousands of bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. A third of the nation's highways are in poor or mediocre shape. Massively leaking water and sewage systems are creating health hazards and contaminating rivers and streams. Weakened and under-maintained levees and dams tower over communities and schools. And the power grid is increasingly maxed out, disrupting millions of lives and putting entire cities in the dark. The Crumbling of America explores these problems using expert interviews, on location shooting and computer generated animation to illustrate the kinds of infrastructure disasters that could be just around the bend.

I have driven on country dirt roads that are in better shape than those asphalted main roadways here in South Texas!
