Life After People is a special feature on the History Channel in which scientists and others speculate what the earth, animal life, and plant life might be like if humanity no longer existed, as well as the effect humanity's disappearance would have on the artificial aspects of civilization. Speculation is based upon documented results of the sudden removal of humans from an area and the possible results which would occur should humanity discontinue its maintenance of buildings and urban infrastructure. The hypotheses are illustrated with CGI dramatizations, depicting the possible fate of such icons as the Empire State Building, Buckingham Palace, Sears Tower, the Space Needle, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Eiffel Tower. The feature premiered on Monday, 21 January 2008. With an audience of 5.4 million viewers, Life After People was the most watched show ever on the History Channel. Aftermath: Population Zero, a program with a similar premise, aired on the National Geographic Channel in March 2008.
