Why The Everglades is More Dangerous Than The Amazon

The Everglades swallowed a jetliner 17 miles from Miami International Airport. Is this swamp really more dangerous than the Amazon? We kept score, one category at a time. Everyone knows the Amazon is deadly. Almost nobody treats the Everglades that way, even though it sits a short drive from one of America's biggest cities. This documentary puts the two side by side and scores every round honestly, including the ones the Amazon wins. You'll see why ValuJet Flight 592 and Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 vanished into a "river of grass," why the Everglades is the only place you can spot alligators and crocodiles in the same water, and how Burmese pythons wiped out 99% of the park's raccoons. You'll also meet the animals Florida imported from South America, Argentina and Africa, see where the Amazon wins on snakebites, malaria and violence, and learn what Florida's health records say about mosquitoes, brain-eating amoebas and flesh-eating bacteria. Built from NTSB reports, National Park Service records, USGS research, CDC data and Florida wildlife and health figures. It ends with the story of a prepared canoeist who was one mile from camp. For anyone who loves nature documentaries, extreme places and real numbers over hype.
