** Also, it would be morbid to mention what would happen if everyone simply dropped dead and what would happen to their bodies. They can explain similar events with dead animals. Plus the premise is that all live humans simply stop existing so they can't commit to any one event that could have caused the disappearance/extinction. For instance, if you leave the cuttent live humans in the picture, you have to explain how they died and that could be anything from nuclear holocaust to starvation to plague, etc. You would have to take in account the inevitable riots and conflicts that would arise from panicking humans as extinction drew near. They simply want to look at what would happen if everything everywhere stopped being maintained, not how humanity dies.

* One episode featuring a seeing eye dog said that after about 6 years most of the dog's training would've been forgotten. They later go on to say that the dog's training would hinder its ability to hunt and it would eventually starve to death. If the dog's training was so strong that it would impede its hunting ability, then it wouldn't have worn off at all by this point. Also, many other dogs would have to relearn their hunting instincts, so there's no reason a seeing eye dog couldn't too, especially if its life depended on it.

** Because of damage from the unusual 2011 earthquake on the US East Coast the Washington Monument wouldn't last nearly as long as depicted in the show.

* If all humans did disappear on the the original airdate in 2008, all the natural disasters since that year would still have taken place... but on the bright side would have killed no one.
** All tornadoes, floods, storms, hurricanes and earthquakes since 2008 were never cleaned up afterwards. This gets more horrifying the more years go by.
** The Haiti earthquake of 2010, the 2011 Japan Tsunami (and the resulting nuclear meltdown that no one was there to stop), Hurricanes Sandy, Harvey and Irma, etc.... never cleaned up.

** Also, the flooding in Alberta was not cleaned up any time soon.
** However, with humans not creating more greenhouse gases and causing climate change, one must wonder if the disastrous weather phenomenons that have occurred since 2008 would have happened the same exact way, if at all; not to mention the weather changes caused by all the nuclear meltdowns.

* Why only the living people are taken out? Mummies and modern preserved bodies are left for us to see how they rot.

** They're already dead. Only live humans would abandon Earth in this show, not dead ones.'

* FridgeBrilliance: You can place the time people disappeared in the past and still have all the natural disasters happen! For instance if we have people all die/disappear in 2002, you can look at all the large natural disasters happen and never be cleaned up. So just in the 2002 to 2012 timespan...
** ''Every single natural disaster still happened and was never cleaned up'':
** The coastlines of the Indian Ocean are still piled with wreckage from the 2004 Tsunami.
** New Orleans is still swamped from Katrina in 2005 and will ever be.
** Haiti is still in ruins from the 2010 earthquake, as is Chile from its massive earthquake the same year.
** Japan never got cleaned up from the 2011 Tsunami. The reactors got hit the same way they did, but probably had already gone critical years ago, running unattended from 2002.
** The rare earthquake on the East Coast of the U.S. in 2011 left damage that will never be repaired. The Washington Monument for example will eventually collapse due to cracks.
** As for your own home, every bad storm that left your yard littered with sticks or ripped off your eves trough or window shutters, knocked over a tree in your yard - it's all still there.
