Using dramatic recreations and computer-generated imagery, the program brings the May 20, 1883, eruption to life. The eruption reduced the island of "Krakatoa" to a third of its former size and sent waves that reportedly topped 100 feet high crashing onto Asian shores, killing 36,000. Portions of the program tie the resulting tsunami destruction to the December 26, 2004, tsunami.
