NOTES: |
Takes you on a high-voltage trip into the most electrically charged weather in the world. Lightning's fleeting rivers of electricity strike Earth 6,000 times a minute; jolt every commercial airplane one to two times a year; wipe out power to entire cities; hit 1,000 people annually; and account on average for more deaths than hurricanes and tornadoes put together. Join the scientists as they tempt nature by triggering thunderbolts and create a chunk of "petrified" lightning; view some of nature's most dazzling displays; and visit with the tragic victims who thought they were out of harm's way. |
