Description

This episode predicts the apocalyptic fate of homes—from the Stahl House to the San Remo. Co-op City sinks beneath the tide and Dubai's Burj Khalifa (the tallest buildings of the world) corrodes and collapses. Gas leaks turn suburban homes such as Levittown into infernos, a hidden flaw topples Hearst Castle, linseed oil in paint-soaked rags causes some high-end homes to explode in flames, and the contents of the Bettman/Corbis Archive meet a tragic fate. Bobcats use abandoned houses as dens, and zebras from the Hearst Castle private zoo escape and survive for generations. The episode also visits the Italian town of Balestrino, which was abandoned during the 1950s due to geologic instability.
