>One of the Earth's strangest geological riddles is the evidence for a
>huge catastrophe that struck eastern Washington State thousands of
>years ago. It took scientists decades to figure out that a colossal
>flood had carved out bizarre landscape features strewn across
>thousands of square miles. On "Mystery of the Megaflood," NOVA gets
>to the bottom of what created this compelling detective story. The
>program features a dogged geologist sticking to his bold theory for
>decades despite virtual professional banishment. Eventually, other
>geologists joined his cause and filled in the intricate details,
>which NOVA recreates in stunning computer animation to show what may
>be one of the most spectacular series of events ever to occur on
>our planet.
