Shockwave - Season 1 (2007)

A hiker stranded on Mt. Hood is about to be saved when his rescue helicopter suddenly crashes into the mountain, and the disaster is captured live on video. A missile misfires on the USS Forrestal, careening into the fighter planes on deck, and the action is recorded in real time. From a devastating bridge collapse in Minneapolis to a tourist in Oahu being dragged out to sea, headline-making events around the world are increasingly caught on tape, by cell phone, through surveillance systems, or by the occasional lucky news cameraman. See the best of this raw footage and more when, using the latest digital technology, History™ analyzes these shocking videos and creates astonishing three-dimensional models that help us understand how — and why — some of the world's most awe-inspiring catastrophes happened.
