S1, EP1 "Mega Floods; Tsunamis"
When water unleashes its rage upon the planet, it becomes the ultimate bringer of death; whether it's from rain washing over the ground, rivers bursting their banks, or failed efforts to stem the flow, flooding is as inevitable as it is unstoppable.
S1, EP2 "Construction Disasters"
Bridges and tunnels revolutionized transportation-but when they fail, tragedy follows. This episode explores the world's worst collapses and fires, including a tunnel blaze in the Alps so intense it fused 20 cars together. While bridge failures send vehicles plummeting into water or ground below, tunnel fires turn confined spaces into infernos. Why do these disasters happen, and what can be done to stop them? As we build bigger and faster, we also raise the stakes.

Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are all the same thing with different names, but what they also have in common is their destructive power.
S1, EP4 "Earthquakes"
Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates suddenly shift and shock waves shake the Earth's surface; they occur along fault lines -- the most active being the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean and the San Andreas Fault on the American West Coast.
