Armageddon Week

I have been having a ton of fun this week. On the history channel they have Armageddon Week. All their programs have to do with destruction of society, end of world scenarios, prophecies, and surviving. I have especially enjoyed some of their evening programs and my favorite of all was "After Armageddon". It was a fictional story of a family and their struggles after a massive pandemic. It followed them as they escaped from their house, the city, until they finally found a place to live. What was enjoyable about this program was that it wasn't just a movie but almost like a documentary, where the experts would explain what was going on and why people would act the way they acted and what types of things you could do to survive. It was a worst-case scenario and they made sure to let the audience know it was not a real emergency.

The history channel is selling it on their online store. At some point I will purchase it. I think it is a great educational tool and offers a glimpse of reality of what could happen.
