在诺曼地登陆行动之所以能够幸存与英勇无关,一切都是机运。这个现代历史最出名的关键时刻,全都取决于非凡战术与预料之外的因素。它不仅与人力和精良武器有关,更需要施展魔法与天马行空的发明—例如会游泳的战车、人数足以遮蔽天空的伞兵、善用信鸽传递机密的间谍。这场攸关数千名美军性命的战役完全仰赖正确的天气预测或是降落伞带扣。本节目将首度沿用全新的科学研究,详实剖析这场战役的生存机率。两千名伞兵在面积九平方哩的天空面对34万5千发子弹攻击,存活率是四分之一,但有一半伞兵活了下来。他们是如何做到的?只吃一条巧克力的军人和当天早餐吃得饱足的同袍又是谁更有存活机会?特别节目将利用精辟剖析与惊心动魄的画面,生动的戏剧情节,为观众展现精采的英雄故事。
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。

For the past eight years, the U.S. Army's Sniper School at Fort Benning, Ga., has hosted the International Sniper Competition where elite two-man teams compete to earn the coveted title of "top sniper." In this grueling competition, the participants' precision, camouflage, stalking and observational skills are put to the ultimate test. Eighteen challenging events examine the teams' expertise in long-range shooting, urban combat and covert maneuvering through realistic conflicts and environments. Bringing together the most elite snipers from around the world, the competition showcases thirty-three teams from branches of the U.S. Army, Marines, and Air Force, and for the first time ever includes a law enforcement team-a SWAT team from Pittsburgh, Pa. The international field includes representatives from Canada, Denmark, France and Ireland. Since some military teams are comprised of active special forces, the identities of many of the competitors have been concealed in order to ensure the safety of the personnel.

在特别专辑「大和号战舰之谜」中,观众将目睹该舰是如何执行自杀攻击式的最后一战。 “大和号”战列舰曾是日本海军的终极武器——迄今所建最大、最强的战列舰。三年间,“大和号”横行于太平洋上,参加过中途岛战役和莱特湾战役。但到了1945年末,日本的嚣张气焰已现颓势,美军随时可能会登陆冲绳,日本海军在重压之下唯有派出其王牌战舰迎战。“大和号”战列舰的三千三百名官兵带着仅够单程的燃料,抱着九死一生的信念,再度从日本启航,准备去面对强大的美国海军。这将是“大和号”的最后航行——仅仅数小时后,美国海军的数百架战机将这艘不可一世的巨型日本战舰击沉海底。特别专辑「大和号战舰之谜」将汇集海底探险的影像镜头、战争场面的历史档案以及战舰在海上作战的最后数小时的情景再现。“大和号”真的是被派去攻击敌方?抑或这艘日本海军最伟大的战舰其实是去执行早已计划好的自杀任务?难道日本军令部为了维护国家荣誉而故意牺牲了“大和号”及其官兵?在极少数“大和号”生还官兵以及深海潜水员和海战史学家的帮助下,我们将回顾这起海战史上最悲壮的事件之一。
