Pēdējā ledus laikmeta beigās pirmie cilvēki migrēja uz Ameriku. Daži uzskata, ka ceļoja pa sauszemi, bet tagad arheologi raugās uz krastu. Un ko Meksikas džungļos atrastais 13 000 gadus vecais skelets atklāj mums par šiem cilvēkiem un viņu pasauli? Nosusinot dziļo pazemes alu, mēs atklājam jaunu zinātni, kas pārraksta episko stāstu par pirmajiem cilvēkiem, kuri dzīvoja Jaunajā pasaulē

April 4, 1977. Southern Airways flight 242 is en-route from Huntsville, Alabama to Atlanta, Georgia. Ten minutes into the flight the crew notices a menacing storm in their path. Their radar shows them a "hole" in the middle of the storm, the crew believes that "hole" is an area of better weather, and decides to fly towards it. Suddenly the plane is in the midst of a punishing rain and hailstorm. The hail is so severe that it cracks the cockpit windshield, and visibility is nonexistent. They crew has lost power to many of their instruments, and one by one theyve lost both of their engines. Theyre now trying to glide to a safe landing. The tower suggests heading towards Dobbins Air Force Base, 20 miles away. En route to Dobbins the crew realizes they arent going to make it, they decide to put the DC-9 down on a nearby highway. Almost immediately though, it clips a tree with its left wing, ploughs into a car at service station, breaks up and bursts into flames. An inferno erupts. The flight crew, 62 passengers, and 8 people on the ground are killed. Astoundingly, 21 people on board survive.

Mēģinot pacelties spēcīgā vētrā, pilnīgi jaunais 737 nokrīt no Rietumāfrikas debesīm, un ceļā uz Kamerūnu drīz dodas starptautiska izmeklētāju grupa. Daļēji iegrimis dubļos un ūdenī, Kenya Airlines reisa Nr. 507 lidaparāts ir avarējis mangrovju purvā, dzīvību zaudējot visiem cilvēkiem uz klāja. Izmeklētāji galu galā precīzi nosaka vienu liktenīgu kļūdu, kas izraisīja traģēdiju, bet vienlaicīgi atklāja arī traģiskas sekas izraisījušo problēmu ķēdi, kuras rezultātā pasažieru lidmašīna sāka virpuļot, nokrītot uz zemes.

Kravas lidmašīna nokrīt Zviedrijas Arktikas zonā. Izmeklētājiem, analizējot pierādījumus, atklājas šausminošs haoss un nekārtība.

Ceļā no Indonēzijas uz Honkongu, Cathay Pacific reisa Nr. 780, lidmašīnai atrodoties augstu virs Dienvidķīnas jūras, apstājas abi lidmašīnas dzinēji, pārvēršot Airbus A-330 par 200 tonnu smagu planieri. Raidot avārijas signālu Mayday, apņēmības pilns izvairīties no traģiskas iekrišanas okeānā, kapteinis pāriet pie manuālas lidmašīnas vadības un viņam izdodas iedarbināt tikai vienu dzinēju, ļoti lēni palielinot ātrumu. Taču pēc tam bojātais dzinējs liedz samazināt ātrumu, lai varētu nosēsties.

ASV kravas lidmašīna mēģina veikt sarežģītu nosēšanos ASV flotes bāzē Gvantanamo līcī Kubā. Tā kā skrejceļš atrodas tikai dažus metrus no bruņotās robežas, izpildot manevrus, ir jāizvairās no Kubas gaisa telpas. Taču nosēšanās mēģinājumā kaut kas nopietni neizdodas, un DC-8 avarē skrejceļa galā. Sākotnēji izmeklētāji domāja, ka, iespējams, Kuba ir kaut kādā veidā iesaistīta avārijā, taču pēc tam atklāja neredzamo vaininieku, kas apdraud kravas lidmašīnu pilotu dzīvības visur.

Jaunā un turīgā pusaudžu paaudze liek aizmirst visu zināmo un veido desmitgadi pēc saviem ieskatiem, jo TRL valda ēterā, Scream no jauna definē visu žanru, House Party aizsāk deju trakumu, Dawsons Creek paceļ fanus nebijušos jūtu augstumos, un neviens nemāk izteikties tik trāpīgi kā Šēra no Clueless. Ai, nu izbeidzam!

Deviņdesmitajos globālais tīmeklis tika palaists brīvībā, un cilvēce cīnījās ar tā vareno spēku. Daži gan saprata, ka drīz viss mainīsies. Tā notiek, kad pasaulē tiek izlaistas revolucionāras tehnoloģijas, kam ir radīšanas vai iznīcināšanas potenciāls.

American Airlines Flight 587 is a popular flight between New York's John F. Kennedy Airport and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Two months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on 12 November, 2001, an Airbus A300-605R takes off on this routine flight. At 9:16 AM, within two minutes of take-off, something goes horribly wrong and Flight 587 is in dire trouble. The tail fin shears off the Airbus fuselage and the plane is doomed. It slams into Rockaway, a residential area of New York City that is home to many firemen, police and their families who had been deeply affected by the events 9/11. The horrifying crash takes the lives of 265 passengers, crew, and New York City residents. Fingers inevitably point to terrorism, but could this accident be attributed to design failure or human error? With the nation waiting for answers, the National Transportation Safety Board conducts one of the most baffling and far-reaching air safety investigations ever carried out with conclusions that rock the commercial aviation industry.

Ten years after one of the most deadly tsunamis ever known, scientists are making a shocking discovery

On 26 December, 2004, the largest earthquake in 40 years strikes deep beneath the Indian Ocean. Lasting eight minutes and stretching a record 1,600 kilometres in length, the earthquake's massive strength surpasses measurement on the Richter scale. Just after 8:15 AM, billions of tonnes of water speed towards land with a force equivalent to more than 30,000 Hiroshima bombs. Within minutes, the terrifying wall of water makes landfall, engulfing entire towns in its path. Deadly currents and dangerous debris tear buildings apart, as people across South Asia fight for survival. Ultimately claiming the lives of more than 250,000 people, it is the most devastating tsunami in recorded history and scientists are puzzled by the extraordinary size and savagery of the waves. Tsunami experts must analyze the geologic episode, looking for clues behind the tsunami's overwhelming force. Their findings re-define tsunami prediction and reveal that tsunamis may pose a greater threat than previously realized.

What would happen if all of the worlds volcanoes erupted at the same time? This one hour special examines this terrifying scenario by exploring the very real, and very deadly, science of volcanic activity. This special posits that a primordial black hole, a tiny but massive theoretical entity, could slams into the planet, punching a hole through it like a bullet through an apple. Earth would survive the impact but the black hole would generate a colossal shockwave that disturbs the magma chamber beneath every existing volcanic system. See what could happen when, the planets volcanoes begin to erupt, generating their lethal effects in an ever-widening crisis on land and in the air.

What might happen if a strange dark force pulls earth from its orbit around the sun and sends us drifting out into the cold darkness of space, an icy chill descends, robbing us of warmth and food? Could mankind find ways to insulate ourselves and survive in a darkening, alien environment? Can the heart of our planet take the place of the only source of warmth and light mankind has ever known: our sun? Find out…

VOLCANOES have shaped the Europe we know today - they give us land and life itself, but they also have the power to destroy. In southern Italy and Iceland, volcanic time-bombs are primed… and ticking. Their inevitable - and unstoppable - eruptions will bring death, chaos and destruction. Most terrifying of all… a European "supervolcano"may be awakening… threatening an explosion so large… it could wipe the Continent off the map.

On 15th April 2019, during Holy Monday Mass, the world’s most famous cathedral caught fire. Notre-Dame de Paris was ablaze in minutes, as an epic battle unfolded for heroic French firefighters. Under the gaze of the world’s media, they fought the inferno for more than 15 hours. Exclusive footage and interviews bring vividly to life the moment-by-moment courage of the Paris fire and police services, as they put their lives on the line to save this historic building.

The summer of 2003 brought a devastating heatwave to France that shook the whole country. Using archive images and unpublished testimonies, we look back at how first responders fought day after day to mitigate its damage. The lessons learned are being applied today as the country and all of Europe face new risks from rising temperatures.

She was the largest ship ever built. Believed to be unsinkable, when RMS Titanic went down on her maiden voyage taking 1500 people to their death, it sent shock waves across the world and started a debate that still rages today. Why, when the Titanic received several warnings of icebergs ahead, did the captain steam full speed towards them without changing course? A full two hours after the collision, the Titanic was safely afloat before she inexplicably gave way and took a hundreds of passengers to their deaths. What happened to make her sink so rapidly? For the first time, investigative journalist and Titanic expert, Senan Molony can reveal the real story. In a television exclusive, Titanic's Fatal Fire uses a breathtaking new graphic technique to bring to life, in full moving colour, recently unearthed photographs of the launch and maiden voyage of RMS Titanic. The rare photographs are a remarkable find in themselves - but buried within them is an intriguing clue: a previously unseen mark on the hull that launches Senan Molony into a fresh investigation into the century old mystery of the ship's sinking. Drawing on the latest science, modern experts and overlooked eyewitness testimony, Senan discovers that behind the dark mark, a fire was raging in the ship's boiler rooms - a fire ultimately responsible for the most controversial tragedy in maritime history. Shockingly, the owners of the Titanic knew about the fire before she set sail and deliberately kept the fire secret from their passengers. Modern scientific analysis explains how the fire was ultimately responsible for Captain Smith's decision to charge through the ice-field at top speed. The fire also explains the catastrophic failure that led to the "unsinkable" Titanic unexpectedly giving way, taking one and a half thousand passengers to their death. In a bitter postscript, Senan reveals how in the wake of the disaster, he believes White Star's Chairman, J Bruce Ismay, did everything in his power to keep t

In 2001, satellite imagery captured a mysterious “thermal anomaly” on an unexplored volcano at the ends of the earth. What lies inside could provide new clues to help predict volcanic eruptions around the globe. But the island is so remote… and conditions are so extreme… no one has ever been able to reach the top to investigate what lies inside. Until now.

Forty years ago, on May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted violently. It was the most deadly and devastating eruption in U.S. history. Combining eyewitness accounts with rarely seen images, this show reveals the unfolding apocalypse; from the first moments of the volcanic blast, to a 12-mile high ash plume and the lethal mudflows that raged down the mountain.

Pēc četru stundu lidojuma "PenAir" reisa 3296 piloti veic savu pēdējo piezemēšanos bēdīgi slavenajā Aļaskas salas lidostā. Divu turbodzinēju lidaparāts piezemējoties nedrīkst kļūdīties. Bet komanda nespēj apturēt lidaparātu, un tas nokrīt no skrejceļa. Izmeklētāji nespēj izskaidrot negadījumu, līdz viņi neatklāj stāstu par sakrustotiem vadiem un nodevīgu aizvēju.

"Colgan Air" 9446. reisa pilotiem pēc četru dienu remonta ir grūti noturēt gaisā savu "Beech 1900". Lai gan viņiem kaut kā izdodas pagriezties atpakaļ uz lidostu, lidaparāts ar purnu ienirst Keipkodas ūdeņos dažas minūtes pēc pacelšanās. Vraks nedod izmeklētājiem daudz informācijas, bet lidojuma datu analīze visu saliek vietā.

The story of the largest wildfire in Portugal's history and how it devastated a rural community. As fire fighters tried to bring it under control, fierce winds from a thunderstorm combined with the fire. It quickly became unstoppable. Fleeing locals were caught in the inferno. 205 were injured, 66 were killed. Through forensic analysis, we reveal how this event unfolded and how split-second decisions made the difference between life and death.

On the morning of November 8, 2018, a devastating firestorm engulfed the picturesque city of Paradise, California. By the time the Camp Fire was extinguished, it had killed 85 people, displaced 50,000 residents and destroyed 95% of local structures. It was the deadliest US fire in 100 years - and the worst ever in California's history. REBUILDING PARADISE, from Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard and Academy Award-winning producer Brian Grazer, is a moving story of resilience in the face of tragedy, as a community ravaged by disaster comes together to recover what was lost and begins to reimagine and embrace the future.

When a Boeing 747 crashes into a remote mountain-side 45 minutes after take off in 1985, investigators are left baffled. This is the deadliest single-aircraft accident in aviation history, with 520 passengers and crew left dead. Was the crash due to a bomb on board, or could something be flawed in the very structure of all 747s?

The use of the atomic bombs in World War II still excites controversy, particularly the necessity for the second bomb on Nagasaki. The argument that it was the only way to bring a swift end to the war, and save thousands of American lives, wins the day in public.

Sydney Airport is a city within a city, with thousands of crew keeping operations flowing. The work never slows, from changing a wind sock, painting a runway at midnight, repairing a stuck airbridge before the plane arrives, saving a maintenance worker from a stuck elevator, or putting out a potentially catastrophic fire that traps hundreds of passengers on a recently arrived flight.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes & Joseph Fiennes gather at the port of Alexandria where they prep their Land Rovers for the voyage ahead, recreating Sir Ran's first ever expedition along the River Nile. Their journey to Cairo includes a crash course in survival techniques and a visit to see meat eating spiders, highly venomous scorpions and snakes. Further south in El Minya they crawl through narrow underground tombs, full of mummies.

On the second leg of their journey, Ran and Joe spend a night inside the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient world - the Great Pyramid of Giza. On their way to Luxor their cross the 'no man's land', where few tourists venture? Much like Ran in 1969, they have a ferry to catch across the Nile. In Luxor they learn the ancient martial art called Tahtib. On their way south Ran has another test for Joe - a race across the Eastern Desert to the Red Sea.

A beautifully crafted ceremonial dagger made of iron found wrapped inside his mummified corpse has perplexed Egyptologists since it was first discovered. At the time of Tut's reign, the use of iron was not only rare - it was a metal the Ancient Egyptians had almost no expertise in. Now using X-ray analysis scientists have confirmed the iron came from a meteorite- suggesting Tutankhamun believed he had the blessings of the gods Now a brand new revelation suggests he also saw himself as a player on the world stage. Howard Carter found 1500 gold fragments underneath the chariots stacked inside the tomb but couldn't reconstruct the objects the fragments came from. Now, after years of painstaking conservation, they can be revealed as golden decorations for the chariots and the horses that would have pulled them. These breath-taking designs, not seen since the tomb doors were shut 3,300 years ago, portray Tutankhamun as an international leader, a king at the centre of the world.. Another treasure, hidden from view for decades, now reveals he was prepared to go to war to establish his superiority. The latest imaging techniques reveal that Tutankhamun's personal leather tunic is actually cutting edge battle armour- light, flexible but able to withstand the impact of an arrow. It was clothing designed to be used in war. As the evidence from the unseen golden artwork, the celestial dagger and the weapons of war come together we uncover the story of a boy who dragged a failing Egypt back from the brink and, in doing so, built an international reputation as a leader in less than a decade- a young King and leader who was powerful enough to re-establish a failing Egypt at the centre of the ancient world.

In 1922 Howard Carter made a stunning discovery - King Tutankhamun's tomb. Crammed inside were over 5,000 priceless artefacts of every type - from gold slippers to finely tooled daggers, the remains of chariots and the boy king's show-stopping solid gold death mask. For the first time in 90 years these incredible treasures are being brought back together as the starring attraction in Cairo's brand-new #750 million Grand Egyptian Museum. Now, advances in modern technology are uncovering new secrets about a boy king who died before his twentieth birthday and the ancient land he ruled. King Tut's incredible death mask - 24lbs of pure gold - has always been the subject of debate with many scholars believing its damaged nameplate, known as a cartouche, and different colours of gold meant it was never made specifically for him. It was more likely made for his female ancestor, Nefertiti. And, until now, the evidence seems to back that theory up. New analysis of some of his many burial goods, including 'Shabtis'- miniature effigies that were meant to act as servants in the afterlife- suggest up to a quarter of all the treasures in the tomb were made for someone else. Closer analysis at the Grand Egyptian Museum of the funeral beds also paint a picture of a rushed burial where the funeral planners were caught by surprise at Tutankhamun's sudden, unexpected death and there wasn't enough time to provide the regal burial a pharaoh would expect. So could the death mask- the world's most famous ancient object- also be a reused artefact from another tomb? Now the mask has been subjected to the most forensically intense investigation ever to try and answer that question once and for all. The result flies in the face of much of the other evidence from the tomb. Tutankhamun may have been buried with many second hand goods but the mask wasn't one of them - the pharaoh's death mask was made especially for him and in only 70 days.

Of the 5,398 treasures from Tutankhamun's tomb at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the ones that paint a picture of Tutankhamun's family are the most unsettling. Particularly intriguing are two tiny mummified babies. Now in the labs of the museum, they give a chilling insight into the bizarre practices that kept the Pharaoh's dynasty in power and ultimately lead to its downfall. DNA analysis reveals the foetuses are Tutankhamun's stillborn children - the offspring of an incestuous relationship between Tutankhamun and his sister. Similarly, DNA evidence suggests Tutankhamun was also the result of incest. Artefacts hidden for years in museum basements hint that he suffered genetic abnormalities and lived in constant pain. Golden slippers, rescued from almost certain disintegration by the Museum's conservators, reveal additional straps to hold the pharaoh's foot inside the shoe. Whilst the wear and tear on beautifully crafted walking sticks suggest he needed support for even simple tasks like walking. Could Tutankhamun's disability and the death of his unborn children be related? A genetics expert thinks so and shows how the royal family's incest magnified genetic weaknesses, which can cause conditions such as Tutankhamun's clubfoot and miscarriage. But Tutankhamun and his royal family weren't just afflicted by inbreeding - he also inherited a broken and failing Egypt from his father Akhenaten's disastrous attempt to change the religion of the country and build a new capital. A generation of children and young people died building Akhenaten's city in the desert and Egypt lost land to its enemies. It was a poisonous legacy that Tutankhamun tried to escape but failed. Tutankhamun died early at the age of 19, possibly at the head of his troops far from home. The evidence suggests his disability may have contributed to a fatal chariot accident. Thanks to the devastating deeds of his father, Tutankhamun was buried in a small tomb and quickly erased from official Egyptian

In northern Guatemala lies a hidden city devoured by the wild, relentless jungle. Local people discovered strange hills arranged in massive circles. Archaeologists realized this was the religious and cultural center of the Mayan Civilization. Some of these ruins are being brought to life with the aid of satellites and a laser scanning technology called LiDAR. In the past year, LiDAR images unveiled an astonishing but hidden jungle metropolis. Homes? highways? defensive walls? pyramids. In all, more than 60,000 structures, their outlines invisible to the naked eye.
