LISBON EARTHQUAKE: Europe's worst disaster
The Lisbon earthquake of 1755 was one of the most devastating natural disasters in European history. In a single day, the city was struck by several disasters: a powerful earthquake, building collapses, fires, and a tsunami, which reduced Portugal's capital to rubble.
In this video, we examine how the Lisbon disaster began, why the destruction was so widespread, how one disaster led to another, why people fled to the water, and how the tsunami finished off the already devastated city.
This is a documentary analysis of one of the largest natural disasters in history:
the Lisbon earthquake
the tsunami after the earthquake
massive fires after the collapses
the destruction of the city
the consequences for Europe
the historical significance of the disaster
