Killer Storms
From Bangladesh to California, from Peru to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, it is the great oceans that dominate our weather and keep our climate in balance. The final hour, "Killer Storms," explores the terrible price to be paid for this equilibrium: the most destructive weather in the world. In Miami, newscasters watch, horrified, as a tornado waterspout goes through buildings as if they weren't there. The mysterious El Niņo turns lives upside down in Southern California with torrential storms and mudslides. In heart-wrenching footage, a frantic woman searches for the baby who has just been swept out of her arms when a deluge of mud engulfed their home. Cyclones smash into the coast of Bangladesh, and a whole population is haunted by the tragic night in 1970 when the raging sea swallowed half a million people. And scientists look to the ice that sank the Titanic to understand the mysterious way the seas keep the Ice Age at bay – for the moment.
