Default TV Show: Life After People

If you can get the History Channel or National Geographic channel, I urge you to watch Life After People. The premise is different from T2K (the idea is that, for whatever reason, humankind simultaneously all vanish), but it does give a very good look at how fast human structures and landmarks would deteriorate. The power grid fails after only one day without supervision due to automatic overload cutoffs. After the power grid fails, breweries explode after less than a month due to carbon dioxide buildup in the fermentation vats. A lot of interesting things you might not have thought of. It doesn't all apply to T2K since there are still people around, but it's worth watching.
