带领观众深入了解飓风卡崔娜,为墨西哥湾沿岸地区的人口、经济与地形所带来的重创。 飓风威力果真愈演愈烈?卡崔娜又是如何形成?节目将探索飓风卡崔娜的生命周期,并以特殊的角度,带您认识美国史上死伤最多、损失最惨重的天灾。节目中还将穿插现场报导,并访问美国联邦急难管理总署(FEMA)在内的联邦与州政府官员,以及路易斯安那州、密西西比州与佛罗里达州的生还者。心力交瘁的他们如今极需水、食物与医药等救援物资。 节目将从2005年8月29日的凌晨时分开始记录,当时迈阿密国家飓风中心的科学家设法追踪风暴路径,预测飓风的登陆时间与地点。当卡崔娜横扫沿岸,科学家记述了罕见5级飓风背后的自然因素,以及卡崔娜特别惊人致命的原因。节目焦点放在「风暴潮」的现象,还有当风暴仍在几百哩外的海上,一项测量飓风破坏潜力的先进科技,间接促使了有关当局发出史无前例的疏散命令,及时拯救几千条人命。 除了记录飓风卡崔娜在墨西哥湾的破坏路径,节目中还将解释,何以纽奥良并未直接遭受飓风袭击,但该市的地形却使得它受创极深。墨西哥湾沿岸大部分地区如今因为飓风卡崔娜的摧残而陷入瘫痪,形成美国史上最严重的天灾之一,布希总统在飞越该区视察后,警告复原工作恐将耗时多年。 《夺命飓风:剖析卡崔娜》也将从历史角度探究,何以许多科学家认为我们正进入飓风活跃期,像卡崔娜这样的强烈风暴日后将越来越常见。

Over sixty years after the end of World War II, recently declassified documents and contemporary experiments offer insight into a multitude of attempts at assassinating one of the most feared and despised dictators of the 20th Century. As the Nazi war machine spread terror and death across Europe, there were at least forty-two documented plots to kill Adolf Hitler and bring his regime crumbling to the ground. But who were the men that offered to lay their own lives on the line for the sake of killing one of history's most despised tyrants, and just how did they plan on accomplishing such a formidable feat? In this documentary, the filmmakers at National Geographic offer detailed insight into the forty-two assassination plots that may have altered the course of history had they actually succeeded. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide 从最近的一堆已解密的绝密档案中,发现有多达42次试图刺杀德国独裁者-希特勒的行为,最著名的莫过于1944年7月20日的施陶芬伯格事件,当然最终还是成功的几乎没有。了跟随这个节目,让我们来了解了解当年的历史始末吧。
第二次世界大战留下了史上最多的隐藏在海浪之下的舰船和潜艇。现在,随着海洋的干涸,以及能够使基于新数据的3D重建工作进行的调查和扫描,每艘船都能讲述自己的故事以及一系列全新的解释。 我们从珍珠港和亚利桑那号的残骸出发,在那里有新证据证实了谁打响了战争的第一枪。然后到北卡罗莱纳州海岸,在那里我们揭示了U型潜艇是多么成功。然后进入欧洲,在那里通过对纳粹的超级战舰俾斯麦号的观察,我们可以知道她是沉船了还是被击没了。此外,对运兵船利奥波德维尔号沉没事件的调查表明了数百名士兵不必要地丧生。

学习如何在日益拥挤的星球上生存也许是我们人类的终极挑战,但有一个地方,拥有的世界人口六分之一印度,人们却特别适应生活在这么拥挤的土地上。这个系列高清纪录片将带我们进入印度最密集的地区加尔各答和孟买,了解这里人们的生活现状及生存压力。 BBC 2012年播出,用3集记录印度的底层人如何在人多地少的环境中工作。印度现在有人口 12亿,占世界的六分之一,每个家庭都有很多孩子,对于穷人来讲,这可是一个很大的负担,看看印度人是如何在他们的国土上为了生活奋斗的。 Learning how to survive on an increasingly crowded planet is probably our ultimate challenge. But there is one place, home to over a sixth of the world's population, which is already making a good shot at adapting: welcome to India. This observational series casts aside the usual preconceptions about the sub-continent, and lets a few of India's 1.2 billion show how their world really works. With astonishing access into the densest districts of Kolkata and Mumbai, it celebrates the impressive resourcefulness, resilience and absolute pragmatism of those living and working there, and reveals the psyche needed to get ahead in the biggest of crowds. Part 1. This episode follows two main characters as they employ all their ingenuity to carve out a home. With more people moving to cities in India than anywhere else on earth, securing that place you can call home is vital for nurturing your family's future. Part 2. Johora started out as a rag-picker, but through building a bottle recycling business on a railway embankment, she has big ambitions for her family of seven kids. And it is not just small waste. Kanye uses a blowtorch to cut up ships discarded by the rest of the world, helping satisfy India's thirst for steel. And Ashik buys up beef fat from the abattoir, and proudly renders it down to make tallow. It looks disgusting, even before he is plagued by a maggot infestation. But this thrifty use of 'waste' may well be destined for your soap or cosmetics. Part 3. With India destined to become the most populous nation on earth by 2026, you have got to be highly tactical in your search for a better life. It is not just about you and your dreams today - it is about the family over generations to come. Prakash and Mangesh are brothers in their early twenties from an illegal settlement surrounded by the buzz of downtown Mumbai. Prakash is deckhand on a yacht while striving to realise his dream and launch a Bollywood career. But his family make it clear his sole purpose is to earn enough to fund in their joint future: his brother Mangesh's course in software engineering. Swapan, a merchant in a hectic fish market, works so hard for his family's future that his wife knows he is ruining his health. And Sujit, who crafts disposable clay tea cups in Kolkata, hardly dares dream of seeing his family hundreds of miles away.
