Yellowstone’s REAL Threat — 7.2 Quake Killed 26 as a 100 MPH Landslide Buried a Campground

Most people fear Yellowstone because of the supervolcano. But the disaster that is far more likely to happen in our lifetimes is not an eruption. It is a major earthquake. In 1959, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck near Yellowstone and turned the region into a disaster zone within seconds. The ground dropped by as much as 21 feet, highways fell into Hebgen Lake, and one of the largest landslides in the lower 48 states came crashing down at roughly 100 miles per hour. Twenty six people were killed when the slide buried a campground in the darkness. The river was blocked. Quake Lake formed. Hundreds were trapped. In this video, we break down what happened that night, why a similar event could happen again, and why the modern Yellowstone region would face far worse consequences today because of higher population, tourism, infrastructure, and exposure. This is the real threat beneath Yellowstone — not just fire and ash from the caldera, but the ground itself tearing apart. #Yellowstone #YellowstoneEarthquake #QuakeLake #EarthquakeLake #HebgenLake #1959Earthquake #Landslide #NaturalDisaster #Geology #YellowstoneNationalPark #Supervolcano #EarthquakeDisaster #USHistory #DisasterDocumentary #GeologicalHazards
