"A fascinating look at a national
disaster and its aftermath. Well worth watching."
- Home Media Retailing
Johnstown Flood tells a true story of heartbreak,
heroism and the courage to survive. On a stormy
day in May of 1889, the South Fork Dam explodes,
unleashing a 40-foot wall of water. Fiercely thrashing
at frightening speeds, the flood devastates the
14-mile valley between the Conemaugh Lake and
Johnstown, Pennsylvania under the force of a 20-
million-ton tidal wave. Johnstown Flood depicts
this tragic event which claims more than 2,200
lives and wipes out 99 entire families and is still
considered to be one of the worst disasters in
American history.
Horrified survivors watch as the bustling industrial
city of Johnstown is instantly reduced into a wasteland.
The deadly torrent overcomes terror-stricken
townspeople who are tragically lost in the flood. As
the waters recede, people from all over the world
rally around the survivors to help victims regain all
that is lost.
