For millions of years, Montana has been shaped and formed by violent shifting and thrusting within the earth’s crust. Geologically dramatic, but nothing out of the ordinary. What turned the event into a disaster was the presence of the people who were living and camping there. This time when the earth moved, buildings were destroyed, highways were torn apart, and people died. Montana Disasters is a real-life thriller. It will leave you with the breathless sense of how it feels to be caught in mining catastrophes, flash floods, train wrecks, and more. It will expose you to the sorrow and elation of victims friends and families. Taut with the fury of calamities and the courageous efforts of men and women to save lives, Montana Disasters takes you to the scenes of the fires of 2000, landslides in Yellowstone National Park, and other places where the forces of nature and humans wreaked havoc.
Brace yourself for this vivid chronicle of terror, triumph, and tragedy.
