Shockwave
1 x 120 Documentary, 2008
Shockwave is about the impending earthquake/tsunami that will devastate the Pacific Northwest. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a crack in the ocean floor from California to British Columbia. It is nearly identical to the fault that ruptured off Sumatra and caused the tsunami on December 26, 2004, killing hundreds of thousands of people. We can expect a nearly identical earthquake here. Five major cities (Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, Portland and Sacramento) plus hundreds of small towns along a thousand kilometres of coastline will be heavily damaged. The first waves will hit the beach only twenty minutes after the quake. This horrendous and tragic event will happen – beyond any reasonable scientific doubt. When will Cascadia’s fault rupture again? Gamblers can only speculate while scientists prepare us for the inevitable.
