Armenia: Spitak Earthquake - Gorbachev's visit
The Spitak Earthquake (also called Leninakan Earthquake and Gyumri Earthquake) was a tremor with a magnitude of 6.9, that took place on December 7, 1988 at 11:41 local time (07:41 UTC) in the Spitak region of Armenia, then part of the Soviet Union. The earthquake killed at least 25,000 people; geologists and earthquake engineering experts laid the blame on the poorly built support structures of apartments and other buildings built during the "stagnation" era of Leonid Brezhnev. Despite the tensions of the Cold War, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev formally asked the United States, within a few days of the earthquake, for humanitarian help, the first such request since World War II. Western countries, including Great Britain, France, West Germany, Italy, Yugoslavia, Sweden, and Switzerland, sent a substantial amount of humanitarian aid to the Soviet Union in the form of rescue equipment, search teams and medical supplies.

How a speck of dust can bring down an airplane?
Every so often the dormant volcanos of Earth erupt. One or two major eruptions can effect the entire Earth. But how can volcanic ash paralyze air traffic? We show how a volcano erupts, how a jet turbine works, and how a speck of volcano dust can bring an aircraft down in flight.
