The End
Planet Earth, a place of constant change at the hands of powerful beings, us. Hundreds of thousands of miles into space and deep beneath the Earth's surface. we have created an amazing world shaping continents, creating ingenious monuments, and transforming landscapes, but to fully understand the scale of our influence is to witness the world without it. If we suddenly disappeared what would happen to our highways, cities, rivers, our greatest monuments? Enter a desolate world.....a world without Humans.
One minute from now every single person on Earth will disappear. It doesn't matter how or that it's far-fetched, what's important is what will happen when were gone. Of the billions of people in the world half live in cities, farms and pastures cover a third of all dry land, we've dammed and diverted half the worlds major rivers, five hundred million cars clog the highways, we've affected the air, the sea, and the land but have we changed the Earth forever? If we vanished could the planet recover even erase all evidence we ever existed.
Friday June 13
In Berlin it is 1:30 in the afternoon, across the Atlantic stockbrokers get an early start on wall-street (7:30AM), Las Vegas is anything but sleeping, (4:30) and in Tokyo parents tuck their kids into bed. (8:30PM) Then suddenly the Human race comes to an end. Every single person in every corner of the world vanishes. Cities transform into ghost towns, laughter lingers only to become a quickly fading echo, things come to a shocking halt. The moment we disappear the world starts to change. There is an eerie silence in cities that are suddenly cooler. The average Human body puts out as much heat as a one-hundred watt light bulb. Take away eight million people from New York, and the entire city cools down a fraction of a degree. Even though were gone the machines we left behind are still working.
60 seconds after Humans
All over the world hundreds of planes approach airport runways. Most descend at over one hundred miles an hour and today all with empty cockpits, every landing will end with a fireball. Thousands of other planes fly on auto pilot, many will stay in the air for a few more hours but when the fuel runs out, gravity will pull them back to Earth. Empty cars and other vehicles swerve off the roads and crash, causing multiple accidents all across the globe. Those that don't burn out as a result continue to release exhaust into the air until their fuel supplies run out as Trains derail.
((Tired of copying directly from Movie so I took these from Wikipedia although the time line before does sound a lot better. I could not find the script for this documentary so if you find one please let me know.))
10 minutes after Humans
Coal plants run out of coal. Many cities around the world go out. Some buildings supplied with energy by them, such as Las Vegas casinos, fall into darkness. Others switch to generators which, in turn, get their energy from other sources (windmills, dams). The demand proves to be too much for what these plants can provide and produces mass power blackouts (55 minutes A.H.). Within just 85 minutes, only nuclear power plants continue working.
96 Minutes after Humans
The permanent loss of power reaches the nuclear power plants, which shut off their reactors. Once that happens, it will trigger numerous catastrophic events later on in time.
6 Hours after Humans
Chlorine tanks, which need to remain cold, heat up until release valves are activated, sending the gas into the surrounding environment. Many animals die of suffocation. Also, liquefied natural gas tanks begin to fail, causing many fires and explosions.
