When nature strikes twice in the exact same place, humanity suffers the ultimate test of survival. This episode of Disaster Deja Vu investigates two of history’s most terrifying repeat catastrophes. First, we travel to China’s Yangtze Basin to examine the apocalyptic 1931 floods—a tragedy that claimed 2 million lives, displaced 31 million people, and saw aviator Charles Lindbergh take to the skies to map 13,000 kilometers of devastation—before assessing the modern threat looming over the massive Three Gorges Dam during the record-breaking 2020 floods. Then, we shift to St. Louis, Missouri, analyzing the terrifying 1896 F4 cyclone that decimated 12,000 buildings in minutes, and how the city’s extreme emergency planning saved lives when an EF3 tornado struck Lambert International Airport 124 years later.
