Life After People - S02E04 Last Supper

Description

In a world without people, man's food supplies decay as supermarkets turn into breeding grounds for insects and vermin, humidity causes Leonardo DaVinci's mural The Last Supper in the Santa Maria delle Grazie to crumble, and both the landmark Randy's Donuts restaurant in Los Angeles and the restaurant atop Taipei 101 in Taiwan succumb to the force of gravity. Snack cakes survive 25 years, but jars of honey might remain edible for millennia. The episode also includes video from a Fort Worth, Texas grocery store which was abandoned for three months—with all the food still inside. This episode also examines the Tranquille Farms in the Canadian wilderness, which were abandoned and closed in 1985.
