Geoclysm is a documentary-style channel focused on historical disaster thrillers—real events reconstructed with a dark, cinematic pace and sensory storytelling.
Each episode moves fast and stays no‑filler: a shocking hook, the world before, warning signs ignored, the trigger moment, a step-by-step catastrophe, and the aftermath—focused on what people saw, heard, and felt, not technical jargon.
From explosions and shipwrecks to fires, floods, and tsunamis—these are the moments when history didn’t “change”… it broke.
This channel uses AI-generated imagery to recreate historical events.
Note: This channel was formerly known as Past Forward. We have evolved to better reflect the scale and intensity of our content.

I just uploaded a new reconstruction: The Escape of HMS Calliope (Apia Harbor, 1889).
Seven warships, one narrow exit, coral reef under the stern—and a breakout that depended on boiler power as much as seamanship.

Tell me: What would you do—stay anchored and hope, or cut loose and fight out?

THEY HID THIS FOR 20 YEARS.
This isn't a story about a flood. This is a story about a telegram that was answered with one word: "DENIED"!
Tomorrow, we release a file that was classified for two decades. It documents the night when engineers begged for permission to airstrike their own dam to save millions... and were refused.
The Reconstruction reveals:
The Trap: A 1-in-2000-Year storm slamming into a dam where the emergency gates were choked by mud and neglect.
The Cover-Up: How an event bigger than Chernobyl was erased from history books until the archives opened.
It wasn't just a tragedy. It was a decision.
Premiere: TOMORROW.
Status Update: This release was planned long ago. Next up: The story of HMS Calliope (1889). We are in the final stages of creating the video. Thank you to everyone who is waiting!

Most earthquakes are over in 30 seconds. On Good Friday, 1964, the earthquake lasted for about four and a half minutes.
We have finished the reconstruction of the most violent geological event in North American history.
Tomorrow, you will see:
The Physics of Soil: How solid clay transforms into a liquid fluid in seconds (the 'Thixotropic Effect').
The Submarine Landslide: What happens when the ocean floor itself disappears beneath a ship.
The Proof: How this single disaster forced scientists to accept the theory of Plate Tectonics.
The ground is not as solid as you think. Briefing scheduled for TOMORROW.

You chose our next story! 🌊⚓
A massive THANK YOU to the 100+ people who voted! It's incredible to see this community growing and engaged. You're steering the direction of this channel, and I appreciate every single vote.
It was close, but HMS Calliope (1889) won by a narrow margin!
📅 The Schedule: This video drops right after our next upload. One video is nearly ready, then we're diving straight into the Calliope story.
For those who voted for the other options—don't worry. The race was tight, and those topics are too compelling to skip. They're next in line.
Thank you for shaping the future of GEOCLYSM! 🚀

The Lindeman story blew up. You decide what’s next.
The response to the Captain Lindeman story has been incredible. Reading your comments, it is clear that this community values true stories about competence, discipline, and men who keep their heads when the world is falling apart.
I have three more files on my desk. All three are about "Iron Men" facing impossible odds. You are the producers of this channel.
Vote for the story you want me to cover next:
1) HMS Calliope (1889): The Suicide Maneuver. 7 warships are trapped in a harbor as a Category 4 hurricane hits. Anchors are snapping like twigs. One Captain makes a baffling decision: to cut his cables and charge full steam into the storm.
2) Shackleton’s Endurance (1914–1916): 2 Years on Ice. The ultimate story of leadership. A ship crushed by Antarctic ice. A crew stranded for years. A mission that changed from exploration to survival.
3) British Airways Flight 9 (1982): The Silent Jumbo. Cruising at 37,000 feet at night. Suddenly, the windshield glows with strange electricity. Then, one by one, all four engines flame out. The crew is left gliding a 350-ton metal brick over the Indian Ocean.

THE CONCRETE WAS PERFECT. THE MOUNTAIN WAS NOT.
March 12, 1928. William Mulholland, the father of modern Los Angeles, inspected the leaking dam. He looked at the cracks and declared it safe. 12 hours later, the structure ceased to exist.
We reconstructed the engineering failure that ended a career and killed 430 people:
The Mistake: The dam was anchored into 'red conglomerate' rock. When dry, it was stone. When wet, it turned into oatmeal. The dam didn't break; the ground simply dissolved beneath it.
The Wall: 12 billion gallons of water released instantly. A wave 140 feet high (taller than a 10-story building) took victims all the way to the Pacific Ocean, 54 miles away.
Physics does not respect reputation. The St. Francis Dam File is LIVE.

THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH.
When Krakatoa detonated in 1883, the captain of the gunboat Berouw decided to wait out the storm at anchor. They found his ship weeks later—hanging in the trees, 2 miles inland.
Captain Johan Lindeman of the steamship Loudon made a different choice. A choice that is now taught in maritime academies. He saw a 12-story wall of water approaching and ordered: Full Steam Ahead.
We reconstructed the 'Head-On' maneuver that defied survival logic:
The Calculation: He didn't run from the tsunami; he attacked it.
The Ballast: He ordered 111 passengers locked in the dark hold. Not to punish them, but to use their weight to lower the ship's center of gravity.
The Climb: The ship hit the wave at such an angle that the propellers were spinning in thin air.
One man defeated a volcano with pure physics. The Reconstruction is LIVE.

CASE CLOSED: The 300-Year-Old Mystery.
In 1700, a massive tsunami struck Japan. But there was no earthquake. The samurai called it the 'Orphan Tsunami.' It was a ghost story—a wave that appeared out of the void.
For centuries, no one knew where it came from. Until we found the bodies... in Oregon.
We reconstructed the investigation that connected two continents:
The Evidence: Entire forests of cedar trees in the Pacific Northwest that died instantly in the winter of 1700.
The Cause: A magnitude 9.0 rupture that dropped the coastline by 6 feet in seconds.
The Warning: This fault rips open every 300 to 500 years. It has been 326 years.
We are living on borrowed time. The Orphan Tsunami file is LIVE.

January 26, 1700.
A tsunami wave hits the coast of Japan.
No earthquake. No warning.
The wave traveled 5,000 miles across the Pacific.
Scientists traced it back to one source:
The Cascadia fault ruptured.
The entire Pacific Northwest coast dropped 6 feet in seconds.
Next reconstruction: The 1700 Cascadia Earthquake.
The wave that proved America's deadliest fault exists.

HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO: The 7-Hour Warning.
We are looking into a potential new reconstruction. The premise: A massive landslide occurs in the Canary Islands (La Palma). Physics dictates that a mega-tsunami would travel across the Atlantic at the speed of a jetliner (500 mph).
It would hit the US East Coast exactly 7 hours later. New York City would face a wall of water moving faster than the subway system.
Should we build this simulation next?
