Leaves the park
Looking more like a forest.
central park will go bananas.
So all of a sudden
You'll get trees,
You'll get growth.
All the animals and plants
That is there now will go up
In population levels
And they'll start to spread out
Into the city.
the story is the same
In Washington o.k.
The great monuments
Have been swallowed by greenery.
And on what used to be
The national mall,
The sounds of the jungle
Are echoing.
zoo animals
Depending on whether or not
They could escape
From their confinement,
Then things change dramatically
Because you might have lions,
You might have tigers;
Both of which
Would be perfectly capable
Of surviving
In a post-human period.
They'd do better further south
Than they would do
in Washington o.k.
But these are animals
That is perfectly capable
Of figuring out how to do it
And how to survive.
zoo animals
May be the great unknown
But there are things
We can know for sure
About life 20 years
After people are gone
Because there's one spot
On the globe
Where it's already happened.
[music]
it's 20 years
Into a life after people.
Without humans
And fill in cracks,
Even concrete buildings
Have already begun to crumble.
Lack of maintenance turns cities
Animals that have long avoided
Human population centers
Now return to make new homes
Among the decaying walls.
How do we know this?
Because there's one place
In the world
Where it's already happened.
we're standing
In the central square
Of prepay, Ukraine,
The city that was once
The most modern city
For 20 years now,
This city
Has been sitting abandoned,
A picture of what would happen
If people are removed
From a place
Of normal civilization.
evacuated after
The Chernobyl nuclear disaster,
Prepay went
From a city of 50,000
To ghost town overnight.
Dust-covered school rooms remain
As students left them
Just over 20 years ago.
Vegetation pries apart masonry
As it crawls over buildings.
An amusement park
Scheduled to open
Four days after the date
Of the accident
Remains never used.
The park's ferries wheel
Accumulates rust
Rather than riders.
The bumper cars sit in a state
Of motionless decay.
Prepay has provided an amazing
And rare opportunity
To see what happens
To a manmade city
When humans disappear.
I can see
From my Geiger counter
To be here,
Radiation levels
Were not very high.
But you can see
That we've really hit
A point of no return
In recapturing these facilities.
We're in what was
The cultural center
