Oceans cover more than 70 percent of our planet and contain 90 percent of life on earth, yet they remain the most treacherous and alien part of our environment. In this program, see a tornadic water spout smash through buildings in Florida, witness a frantic search for a tiny baby who was swept from a woman's arms during a mudslide in Southern California, learn the tragic details of a vicious cyclone in Bangladesh that caused the raging sea to swallow a half-million people in 1970, and hear the scientists studying icebergs, like the one that sank the Titanic, trying to understand why the seas keep the Ice Age at bay, at least for now.

Not rated.
