HISTOR!CA
  • February 9, 1690

    French and First Nations allies made a retaliatory raid on Schenectady, NY, killing some 60 settlers.

  • February 9, 1830

    Furrier George Renfrew, owner of what became known as Holt Renfrew & Co., was born at Québec City.

What would happen if, tomorrow, every single person on Earth simply disappeared? Poof! Gone. Not dead, just gone. A world without people, where city streets are still populated by cars, but without drivers. How long would our skyscrapers and homes last if we abandoned them? How would our animals and pets fare without us? How would the weather and the seas, the trees and the wildlife react if we stopped hunting, fishing and farming? Aftermath will explore this world no human will ever see, one where carbon dioxide brings down skyscrapers, dogs become wolves, and the Statue of Liberty outlasts the Eiffel Tower as the longest-lived large buildings on Earth.
