Doomsday: 10 Ways The World Will End

An asteroid impact 65 million years ago caused the downfall of the dinosaurs. What would happen if a simliar space rock struck near the same spot again? How would modern humans cope with the ensuing cascade of natural catastrophes?

Human civilisation is under attack from a catastrophic - but unseen - threat from space. As a supermassive black hole approaches our planet, its enormous gravitational forces trigger earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis of unprecedented size.

When Earth gets hit by a deadly solar storm - a massive chunk of the Sun - our planet's electrical system turns into a smoking ruin. How does modern civilisation cope without power?

World War 3 breaks out and a nuclear nightmare becomes reality as thousands of hydrogen bombs destroy the world's greatest cities. In the ensuing nuclear winter, crops fail worldwide and mass starvation drives humanity to the brink of extinction.

When a gamma ray burst from two colliding stars hits the atmosphere, the radiation wipes out half the planet. The Americas face a slower death as ultraviolet radiation and starvation threaten to send the human race into total extinction.

Humanity's first volcanic hyper eruption blows through the Earth's surface. Shockwaves and molten rock destroy buildings and cities. Then as volcanic gas blocks out sunlight, food chains collapse, and epic famine threatens the very future of mankind.
