   I think I get where you're coming from.  There's always that "where   
   are all the bodies"/"why are there suddenly a dead-traffic jam for no   
   apparent reason?"/"Shouldn't there be more/less structural damage to   
   the city"   
   I've found "Life After Man" an interesting documentary to mentally   
   compare with all the PA films I've seen and think "yeah, I didn't   
   think there'd be no evidence of civilisation in only 30 years."   
   Is this a bad time to say that the other week I left my house to spend   
   the cyclone at a friend's, looked at the 4 volume set of "How Things   
   Work" and decide that, no, this wasn't "the end", they could wait for   
   that evacuation.
