    >One of the Earth's strangest geological riddles is the evidence for a
    >huge catastrophe that struck eastern Washington State some millennia
    >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
    >despite virtual professional banishment. Eventually, other geologists
    >join his cause and fill 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.
