The Day The Earth Nearly Died -- One Disaster To Blame ForThe Day The Earth Nearly Died -- One Disaster To Blame For
With an amazing cinematography and a splendid direction, this documentary talks about the Permian era, the time when life forms swarmed the world, and all of a sudden all those living beings vanished from the face of the earth. This is what the documentary refers to as 'The Day the Earth Nearly Died'. Around 250 million years back, something catastrophic happened and wiped off the 95% of the life on Earth, which is much grander than the demise of the dinosaurs. The Permian mass extinction has been blamed on the biggest volcanic eruptions of the world. The documentary is very dramatic in its scenes and shows that the Siberian Traps underwent a flood basalt eruption and caused the Earth's crust to split up and hell was unleashed. The movie illustrates curtains of lava being released into the surface, which lasted for millions of years and is supposed to have caused major climate change. It's obvious that no life form can survive such a dramatic change in climate and so was the doom of the Permian Era. The sudden injection of very hot gases with the fountains of lava had changed the fate of the living. The documentary, narrated by Jack Fortune, shows how Dickens uncovered all these details and talks about evidence hidden amidst the rocks in Antarctica, Siberia and Greenland. This was a tough task because wear, tear and erosion had blurred the geological data that could describe the destruction. It is both startling and scary how one natural disaster made life indefensible
