00:00Come on! We're gonna be late!
00:04Alright!
00:09Please, please turn that off.
00:11Is that an earthquake?
00:12A what?
00:15Brenda! Brenda stop!
00:21Mom, it's Brenda. They've been in an accident.
00:23What happened? Was Eric okay?
00:26We just had a major seismic event.
00:28The New Madrid fault is the largest on this continent.
00:31If we're seeing this much activity, it means something way bigger could be on the way.
00:36But there's sinkholes, massive sandblows emerging. None of this is normal.
00:41We don't pinpoint where and how these plates are slipping.
00:44We're looking at a 10.0 or larger.
00:47In less than nine hours.
00:48It'll split the entire continent in half.
00:50You should call the governor and have her issue a national emergency.
00:54This earthquake will rip apart the entire country.
00:57I cannot declare a state of emergency on a hunch.
01:01Just do the right thing.
01:06Look out!
01:08We need to do something.
01:10To confirm the weak spot and to leave the stress along the fault.
01:13No!
01:16We gotta go! We gotta go!
01:18It's too late!
01:19We have to stop this quake. Otherwise, millions will die.
