I've seen this doc 3 times already and never caught that "supervolcano" or "Wyoming" section briefly mentioned in the trivia. The version I saw was in fact titled "4 ways to end the world" i.e. tsunami, virus, meteorite and acelerator. Was a longer section run in America?
shareThe longer one was actually run in the UK. The Supervolcano was cut from the American broadcast. You can see it here.

That's okay, they didn't actually know what they were talking about when it came to the Yellowstone Caldera. They didn't even show footage from the actual park. Apparently, an extinction level event isn't as dramatic as watching 2 miles of the NY coast get swallowed up by a tsunami. Even though the caldera erupts on a, more or less, predictable schedule of geologic time, I guess every 600,000 years isn't as regular as tsunamis, so more can related to them.
shareDon't forget that supposedly the Super Volcano in Yellowstone is about 10,000 years over due.
