In this deep-dive documentary, we explore five of the most dangerous fault lines in the United States that are largely overshadowed by the well-known San Andreas Fault. While Hollywood has dramatized earthquakes with scenes of collapsing buildings and citywide panic, the real danger may be lurking in places you’d never expect—quiet towns, serene coastlines, and even America’s heartland. We begin with the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a ticking time bomb off the Pacific Northwest coast, capable of producing magnitude 9 earthquakes and massive tsunamis. Then we head to the New Madrid Seismic Zone, where massive quakes once shook two-thirds of the country in the early 1800s and could do so again.
From the towering Wasatch Fault beneath Salt Lake City to the monstrous forces below Alaska and the deceptive calm of Hawaii’s volcanic terrain, each fault poses a unique and catastrophic risk. With input from leading geologists and decades of research, this video presents a clear look at the science, the history, and the shocking possibility of what could come next. These are the five fault lines that could shake America to its core.
