Television THIS
can be dubbed as the world’s most shocking natural destructive
forces captured on film. From rampaging tornadoes, catastrophic
collisions and terrorist attacks to the 1986 fatal explosion of
the Space Shuttle, no topic is too trivial or taboo for this show.
Destroyed in Seconds on Saturday at 6 P.M. on the Discovery
Channel brings you disasters captured on film. Shocking scenes
that range from a fire at a chemical plant, to a race driver
trapped in a burning car, a pilot dumped out of a balloon during
an air show, a train derailment and a stunt jump that goes wrong.
Be they acts of nature or caused by man, the show is not meant to
just shock and entertain, but to explore the causes of mass
destruction and how families and communities bounce back from
devastation. It shows the mesmerising power of savage forces
wreaking havoc and devastation even as the show explores the cause
and effect of sudden destruction caught on tape! Fear is the key It is a
frighteningly funny hidden-camera show that scares the life out of
unsuspecting victims by pulling pranks on them. Scare Tactics
on Monday at 8.30 P.M. on AXN, hosted by actor and comedian Tracy
Morgan, is a show that turns fears into realities by placing
ordinary people in situations inspired by science-fiction and
horror films. Scare Tactics has the victim’s friends and
family members in on the game, helping to plan most of the scary
pranks. In every situation "actors" are unwitting, real
people, who have been set up by their friends. They have no clue
that they are about to be taken on haunting thrill-rides that will
leave them screaming — nor do they suspect that every moment is
being recorded. It’s in these "movie moments" that
real emotions take over and that’s when you see people reacting
to a reality that has been altered — a reality so utterly freaky
that its victims can’t help but scream with fright and sometimes
even faint. — NF
