00:00Did you know a single military tactic may have killed a third of Europe? It was 1346. Mongol
00:05forces were besieging the port city of Khafre on the Black Sea, then plague tore through their own
00:10camp. Soldiers were dying faster than they could fight, so their commander made a desperate decision.
00:15He ordered the infected corpses catapulted over the city walls. The defenders fled by ship,
00:21carrying something invisible with them. Within two years, the Black Death had swept across Europe.
00:2650 million people dead. One act of desperation. One continent destroyed.
