The Earthquake That Lasted Two Centuries

From an Australian fire that's been continually burning for millennia, to earthquakes that shake the ground for centuries, here are four natural disasters that lasted way longer than you might have expected.

    I don't think most people really realize how fast new cancer treatments are being developed, how many cancers are getting tackled and how good cancer treatments are becoming. I mean, in the 60's, cancer was basically a death sentence. In the 80's your chances were bleak, but much better. But you weren't likely to live for long. In the 2000's, it was getting better, but still kinda considered a death sentence and treatments were still brutal. Today, cancer treatment can be far less intrusive, takes less time and fewer surgeries. Your odds of surviving cancer are not just higher, but odds of it not returning are better than even just a few years ago. Cancers are still deadly and will continue to be one of the top causes of deaths in humans, but our methods of fixing cancer's and various other diseases has gotten so much better than in the future, brain diseases will become the biggest threat and are probably already gonna be responsible for more deaths than not on a yearly basis. Diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia or Parkinson's. It's not just a win for Hank, his family and friends or his audience, but it's a win for humanity. We are getting better at treating cancers and survival rates are improving every year.

Now we have options for treatment before surgery, if it's needed at all, it's so crazy but also super cool.

    When talking about the New Madrid fault line's really bad earthquake, SciShow could've mentioned that the Mississippi River altered it's course and flowed backwards for a bit of time as well...along with church bells as far away as Boston ringing. I would love for SciShow to do an episode about the worst ever earthquake to hit North America, The Alaska Earthquake. I think it occurred in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

    Was not expecting the New Madrid Quakes to be the one from the title! I live in St. Louis, and overall I'm not sure we take the risk seriously enough here, but we probably moved toward being a lot safer due to a crack pot guy in 1990 who predicted a massive earthquake would happen Dec 3rd of that year and cause massive destruction across the Midwest. I was a little kid and I can remember the near panic and tons of public safety messages about what to do during an earthquake and how we should all be preparing, with reasonably good advice aside from inducing that panic. Nothing happened of course. But one of my friends dads sent her to school in one of his hard hats from work that day. (and no one made fun of her that I can remember, we maybe wished we had hard hats too...) I used to work in a building that was built a few years after that, and it's built to very strong earthquake standards, with base isolators and more, even though those kind of protections still aren't required.

    I've driven more or less past Mt Wingen several times (it's near a major inland highway) but didn't know about it and so never thought to pop in to have a look. Re: eclipses, there's a total one due in my part of the world in 2028 which will alas only be partial (albeit 99.4%) over Mt Wingen, so I couldn't quite manage a twofer there.

    The best explanation for the New Madrid earthquake I've can think of is that it is a a result of the long term redistribution of mass by the Mississippi River. I've read that there is about a 10 miles thick layer of soil off the coast in the Gulf of Mexico as half a continent's worth of sediment is transported south by the Mississippi. That huge mass is pressing down on the southern edge of the continent. This results stress to the north, and the New Madrid earthquake is the last time some of that stress got relieved.

    I grew up on the New Madrid fault line. One of my earliest memories is of a strong tremor. Mom had just set the table and the silverware and glasses started rattling. I had no clue what was going on. But my parents explained it afterward. I didn't fully understand the process. I had a terrible fear that a chasm had open in the ground and swallowed up all my toys in the yard. Fortunately, the next morning, they were all still there.

    Mt St Helen's eruption in 1980 lasted a little longer than a few days! I was there in late July, almost three months later, and it erupted FIVE TIMES, in a matter of a few hours. My brother lived in Mattawa, about 115 miles east of St Helens, and he was shoveling ash off his roof through the rest of the year, lest it cave in! The New Madrid earthquake raised a ridge minimum ten feet high, for 300 miles!

    Im surprised that natural nuclear reactor in Oklo wasn't mentioned. Having a uranium deposit that routinely goes critical as it floods and lasted for hundreds of thousands of years seems up there with a coal seam fire. And as a science bonus once we figured out what had happened we were able to use it to see if the fine structure comment had changed in the intervening couple billion years.

    Hank's shirt caught my eye. "Path of Totality" (and the black & white orbs) tells me that it's somehow about the upcoming solar eclipse. But couldn't find out what "ékleiisis" actually means. Using an online ancient Greek translation site, it is seen as Turkish. Any further exposition?

    It's meant to be "ÉKLEIPSIS" (ἔκλειψις - "eclipse"), with the overlapping sun and moon being the curved upper parts of "P" and "S". I read it as "ÉKLEIISIS" too until I went to the DFTBA Store to check it out

    I really envy everyone who lives in the path of the total eclipse. I was lucky enough to see one in 1999 while on holiday in Normandy. It was magical. We drove towards Étretat, but got stranded in Honfleur because traffic on the highway had come to a halt. We were following the secondary road. Honfleur has a beautiful harbour at its centre and hundreds of people had gathered around it. It was cloudy all morning, but just before the moon moved in front of the sun the clouds lifted. The light changed, the birds fell silent and then the people did too. The total eclipse was so beautiful. And then the light returned, people applauded as if they had been watching a play, then they dispersed and it became cloudy once more.

    Reading the old newspaper articles of first-hand accounts of the new madrid earthquake is absolutely wild. Some talked about the river rising up in front of them causing waterfalls and the river to flow backwards before slamming back down and leaving fissures. Couple years ago I had a dream a bunch of bears were running through the forest past me & my sisters making the whole ground shake. Turned out to be an actual eaethquake happening while I slept😂🤣🤷‍♀️
