Synopsis
A new and fresh approach to the disaster genre, Seismic Seconds explains the detailed science of the events while retaining the core appeal of human interest

Imagine being able to experience the final seconds of the eruption of Mount St Helens – but from inside the mountain. What was the chain of events that led to the critical moment of disaster? What thoughts were going through the minds of those caught in the path of destruction? In Seismic Seconds you can see for the first time what really happened in some of the world’s worst disasters. Gripping virtual reality sequences take viewers inside the split-second chain of events that led to the death of Formula One world champion Ayrton Senna, the sinking of the British battleship HMS Coventry by Argentine Exocet missiles and the destruction over Long Island of TWA 800. A new and fresh approach to the disaster genre, Seismic Seconds explains the detailed science of the events while retaining the core appeal of human interest that made Black Box and Crash so popular. Eyewitnesses and scientists take us inside the stories as the split-second events unravel.
