      • Narrator: It's twenty years into a life after people. Without humans to apply fresh paint and fill in cracks, even concrete buildings have already begun to crumble. Lack of maintenance turns cities into eerie ghost towns. 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. Ron Chessner: We're standing in the central square of Prypiat, Ukraine, a city that was once the most modern city in the former Soviet Union. For twenty years now, this city has been sitting abandoned and it really gives you a picture of what would happen if people are removed from a place of normal civilization. Edit
      • Narrator: Now, without armies of gardeners and repairmen, modern cities are laid bare to nature's revenge. Edit
      • Narrator: As generating plants go down, outages on the power grid contribute to a cascade of failure worldwide. After a few weeks, the planet is plunged into a deep darkness it has not experienced since humans first huddled around campfires. Perhaps the last glow of artificail lights on Earth will be seen in the American southwest. Here, the mighty Hoover Dam hydropower plant takes little notice of the absence of humans. It's source of fuel is virtually limitless. Edit
