Description

Smith Island in the Chesapeake Bay is slowly disappearing as sea rises and erosion hits the shoreline. The population has dwindled, but the people still living there say they’re there to stay. "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

You can talk about mother nature- however, building your house on sand isn’t wise.

They shouldn’t ignore the fact that the other island suffered the same fate and everyone had to move .

Been there since 1608. 60 minutes should show the oldest maps available and compare them with today's.

Title is clickbait. The video is mostly interviews with locals about their lifestyle. Nothing showed an island struggling to survive impact of rising sea level.
