First broadcast on NBC, this documentary contains
fearsome footage of the dynamic power of raging snow showing how its force can snap trees
as if they were twigs, reduce houses to rubble, and kill anyone unlucky enough to stand in
the way. This exclusive program includes chilling firsthand accounts and terrifying
stories of being buried alive. Amazing photography - watch as a wall of white roars
forward, then stops short just feet from the cameraman. Learn the danger signs of an
avalanche, and find out what to do if you're caught in one. Fly with the experts who drop
explosives on snow-laden mountains to study made-to-order avalanches. Relive some of
history's worst avalanches, including a deadly American tragedy in Washington State. (60
minutes) |
