when bad weather hits it's do or die I don't know how this guy ever boarded out of this Daredevils brave waves the felt like let's go rip my head off wind I've never ever seen water spout that huge and snow not to mention hey look at it a volcano that was definitely the most dangerous thing I ever did on this edition of weather caught on camera people have kind of painting a surfer trapped under one of the biggest waves ever his fate caught on camera telling myself I didn't even care if I got the tube or whatever I just wanted to make it you August 27 2011 taya Hoopoe Tahiti a storm offshore means weather so bad and waves so huge the Navy has issued a CodeRed warning shutting down the world-famous Billabong surfing competition the swell got so big that all the people in the contest they didn't want to surf in those conditions but that doesn't face Daredevils like professional big-wave surfer Nathan Fletcher who flies in at the last minute for a renegade tow in session it's such a big swell hit such shallow reef that it makes the whole ocean break taya who pose waves are called the world's heaviest because of the way it's shallow coral reef triggers the waves huge break this area is rated as having one of the 10 deadliest waves in the world that thing crashes on top of you is gonna push you right down into the reef hey you're Connor and people lose their lives that way Fletcher started chasing waves in California at the age of six and has never looked back something that clears your mind or cleanses your soul it's like you know deep it's all of the above he got his big break at Tia Hoopoe in 99 and hasn't competed here since but a weather forecast predicting giant swells finally lures him back to Tahiti his toe in partner takes him out into the killer waves the set was coming and he's asked me on if I was ready and I was all yeah a camera captures Fletcher the minute he lets go of the tow rope was like riding a big swell an open ocean swell and at the bottom it was like there was a ditch this extremely rare and dangerous wave he's over 30 feet sounds like thunder sounds like if lightning struck like right next to you what's so awesome about these ways they can go on forever and you can ride for a very long period of time if you're good if you're not you're gonna get crushed felt like I was wrestling on my surfboard test stay in the wave and not get sucked up but Traverse across it right then I realized that I wasn't making it pretty much started falling back I just knew it was just gonna be really bad and violent the wave swallows him in a burst of foam it's almost like a hi you're in search of you know but you know that it's death as well to say that I was terrified was an understatement no violet undertow holds him down the felt like was gonna rip my head off and won't let go I was expecting to go down and hit the wreath but somehow it shot me up in all the turbulence also and I was on the surface and I've couldn't believe it you know amazingly Fletcher isn't injured but the legendary wave that winds him right of the Year Honours still doesn't seem real I saw a photo of the next day I couldn't believe that that was me on the wave they say it's the heaviest wave ever surfed in the history of the sport it's right up there you win any of them at another island in the South Pacific a gigantic eruption from under the water shoots thousands of feet into the air as a small boat gets way too close that was definitely the most dangerous thing I ever did five days after a 4.4 earthquake rattles and idyllic chain of islands just north of New Zealand the weather is beautiful flat calm blue sky low to slobbin notices a bizarre vertical cloud rising on the horizon at one of his favorite fishing spots between the tiny islands of hunga Tonga and hunga Hapai that's exactly the spot where we caught fish just three weeks before if you like fishing this is paradise this is heaven luto usually takes two boats in case of an emergency but today he throws caution to the wind and heads out with six friends in a powerful speedboat if to see that close-up what's going on there thirty miles out deep under the Pacific Ocean along the Ring of Fire they get the surprise of their lives a volcano coming to life it was just pure excitement I think everybody wanted to be in front of the boat lota and his friends can't believe their eyes and their ears absolutely no noise at any eruption that was really amazing next one it just exploded in front of you and the rocks start falling back down to the water it's never more than five or seven seconds going up probably five six seven hundred meters unbelievable I don't think I'd want to be in a boat that was within 100 yards of a erupting volcano you never are sure whether there might not be another volcano that suddenly comes up right underneath you plus you can have things falling out of the sky frantic Birds returning to nests on the tiny islands right next to the volcano are victims one lonely bird is rescued we saw his claws the legs they were totally burned they got caught in that steam between these two volcanoes that was horrifying plenty of dead fish too around the island was just floating belly-up drawn in by curiosity and the wind now they're way too close to a poisonous cloud of sulphur gas it will come very close this smoke so uh let us start it up lota yells to his friend to reverse the boat kinda turn us around already those yellow gases could definitely be deadly they contain sulfur sulfur oxides other sulfur compounds that could cause suffocation could cause serious injuries to the inside of your body that could burn your lungs they escape just in time as another even greater explosion ignites two days later lota temps fade again and walks on a new island of promise built up by volcanic eruptions right next to Honka Hapai the green calm covered island now singed black it could collapse any time and if you are in the middle of it you're just going weeks later the new volcanic land starts to disappear we found out and talking to some scientists they said look turn us around already you're just lucky you're still here look at next one coming up a duel against an avalanche it could kill someone when you least expect it and later a cathedral where millions pray hit by a quake when weather caught on camera continues high up in the Swiss Alps a big mountain skier about to get slammed by an avalanche pulls one of the craziest moves you've ever seen the scary part with avalanches is that it could kill someone when you least expect it February 14th 2013 Zermatt Switzerland a helicopter drops Sparrow Lilliquist and 15 of the world's best free skiers onto a tight landing zone at 10,000 feet he has a healthy respect for winters fury and its dangers the weather plays a super big role in the whole scene it's dangerous because an avalanche could happen anywhere Sparrow makes his reputation outside the lines not on groomed slopes but on virgin snow 3 means you can go everywhere on the mountain and just enjoy the ride you want to jump some cliffs and express yourself on the mountain and sfera trains off the mountain to to wake up in the morning and fill ya days day I can do something extract spare is hardcore training off the slopes in his hometown of Stockholm earned him his nickname the Swedish butcher it also helps him to make what looks impossible possible you just want to scream out loud and just step a little bit outside of your comfort zone conditions seem perfect then out of nowhere spera triggers an avalanche average speed of an avalanche is about 80 miles an hour they can move at 100 200 miles per hour depending on the slope or the incline Samara doesn't know how much snow is just behind him and decides conditions are right to take his run to the limit he launches an insane backflip into the teeth of the Avalanche spare is about to disappear in a whiteout Oh neck-and-neck with a potentially deadly blast of snow he barely manages to surf an icy wave out of the danger zone Sparrow crosses the finish line with a victory he finds out for the first time just how close he came to disaster I felt safe and I didn't really notice the amount of snow that was chasing me now if I would have seen that could have been another story another daredevil who likes his snow steep and untouched dodges an avalanche on a mind-boggling descent but this time he's on a snowboard there's absolutely places where making a very small mistake will kill you and that's what I call a no fault zone in Alaska's Chugach mountains Jeremy Jones throws it down on a gnarly run called the White Fang he's known as the baddest big mountain snowboarder on the planet I like to always think to myself before I'm dropping into a mountain what is the worst-case scenario what happens if an avalanche happens it's spring 2006 jeremy and team are shooting one of his epic adventure films and conditions are hard packed the winds that come in blown 80 miles an hour every which direction and it was what we call bulletproof you couldn't dig a hole in the snow with your hands this is snow that's been heated melted refroze snow on top of that layers and layers slabs and slabs almost like concrete blocks for Jones facing fear is all about planning it could be weeks months days hours leading up to that where I'm going I don't like it I don't like it I don't like it what's I'm strapped in and I've decided I'm a snowboarder descent the fear has been replaced by confidence as far as Jeremy knows he's the first ever to carve the snow on this particular Ridge we call first descents there's so much more mystery riding mountain for the first time than say the second time ten miles from the ocean at 3,000 feet spring weather may be perfect for skiing but there's always the risk of an avalanche I'm coming down the face and I pop a small air I'll and then without warning it happens the whole slope fractures around me and for sure there was a moment of fear seeing everything buckle around me you can see the whole slabs breaking and going and you can only hope to try and ski out of it the best thing you can do is try and go left or right of it stay on the top of the ridge line and hope it breaks down below you this guy was right in the middle of it time stands still it gets quiet I become hyper focused on what's in front of me Jeremy is free-falling a hundred feet down the face of the steep mountain swept up by a racing wall of snow there's no time to think about anything other than what your plan is to get out of that situation there's parts of the video where he's encased in the avalanche Jeremy flips over and over but somehow manages to regain his balance and roll out of trouble at the last minute he's already rolling and tumbling you know he and how he gets out of that is a miracle I don't know how this guy I've reported out of this coming up eyewitness to destruction could agree not to thunk there were people in their cars and we thought are they going to be okay and later a flash one right when weather caught on camera continues Oh a 30-foot tsunami surges so quickly with such devastating power nowhere feels safe dramas hey couple I was thinking this is terrible label there were boats and all kinds of things being carried away March 11 2011 a quiet Friday morning in Sendai Japan is shattered when a massive earthquake strikes the monstrous 9.0 magnitude quake lasts two minutes 2011 Japan earthquake was the most powerful earthquake to ever hit Japan and it was the fifth most powerful worldwide tsunami warnings sound out shins ke toh rushes to the top of one of the tallest buildings in Sendai don't mock the disabled I've never been so afraid it wasn't like anything I've ever experienced the waves gain momentum and crash into an elevated rail and roadway in a roar train tracks are shredded the morning Oliver finding out a little more on this video more I used to think buildings could stop a tsunami that's not true they washed right over the small buildings and smashed into the big ones oh he taught em oh no they were focused attention in less than a minute a parking lot becomes a sea of searching water seven miles away earthquake expert no somos Uchida escapes to a bridge gonna hook it up well Mizugaki life spit the water came from over there when people saw it coming they ran towards us then you get the prado my second either one tsunami flood waters below transform streets into rivers raging currents hold a man hostage in his car there's no rescue in sight another desperate man's only hope of survival is to swim in the lethal waters after tsunami sewage systems have often been burst open so there's a terrible problem with sanitation - haunted by her memories to appear on camera this woman is one of hundreds stranded on the bridge she can't believe her eyes come on Walker not that Dundas you're there there were people in their cars and we thought are they going to be okay as cars kept floating up and big trucks kept rising we were thinking what should we do Dawson that'll give me nothing me sit down talk it over as the Sun sets smoke from nearby fires is visible temperatures drop and the horrendous situation becomes dire mean the day everyone was saying someone will come to help us let's all hang on together a little longer the old material joke on duty twelve hours later rescue boats are an answer to prayer these survivors are the lucky ones the deadly tsunami claims almost 20,000 lives and is called the most expensive disaster in human history dc-9 you know it's in life you never know what's going to happen and that's what I learned so you ve hung right in your nightie muster coming up a tourist town tragedy when weather caught on camera continues a powerful aftershock caught on camera in one of the world's most cherished cathedrals in Ottumwa da da vila de moto is afraid of suffocating inside the basilica a place of comfort and faith now chaos you know a cz Italy a 5.5 magnitude earthquake seems to have spared the Basilica of st. Francis home of Italy's patron saint and a region that gave birth to the Renaissance art lovers and religious faithful around the world are holding their breath that we this place gave birth to a new art and a new figurative language as a precaution father Enzo Fortunato closes the basilica's doors to the public and leads a small group of conservationists on a tour to assess the earthquakes minor damage there have been nearly a dozen earthquakes since the 13th century and those earthquakes probably weakened the structures considerably on top of that there have been shoddy repairs that were made and that to heighten the risk of something major occurring aftershocks begin to rumble through the Basilica sono stato there were two or three aftershocks so strong I said to my superior why don't we get out of here non-canon diamo cameraman Paolo aunt aleni is there to witness what happens the next horrifying second Integra Terrace romário ESO y Nancy tuturro camera no get up when I felt the earth shake first of all I turned on my camera it turned towards the exit mom there were some people there if I don't eat this when I sue a final brutal aftershock tears holes in the medieval basilica's towering ceiling thousands of pounds of cement and plaster are headed straight for father enzo te gustó de que estaba con domain my superior was right next to me man he grabs me by the arm and pulls me towards this wall at 80 and we crouch down like this and that saved me if cuesta de la salle bitsa sound is deafening it was really horrified pimento so romantic ant aleni is trapped in a huge cloud of dust and debris but somehow keeps his camera running ok thoughtful mop you ever thought how do I escape because the ceiling collapsed in front and behind me I couldn't breathe this beauty in the dark he hears someone calling out nini come outside follow my voice follow my voice finally I was able to see the outdoor life it's them I breathed the big sigh of relief that I dodged a bullet I'm able scum bath or anything over two technicians and two fryers are crushed in the rubble food the betel it was truly a moment of grace that we closed the Basilica otherwise instead of for dead we would have had a massacre that day stodgy thanks to extensive repairs visitors won't notice the horror of that day hidden beneath the cathedrals ancient walls especially chief experts say the Basilica is the safest place in case of another earthquake you see lots of idiom Paulo ant aleni is proud of the four seconds of footage that won him cameraman of the Year Honours and feels a special bond with Italy's patron saint San Francesco dad ever since that day in a way st. Francis has become my protector a few hundred miles to the north a horrifying flash flood threatens to wash a tiny Mediterranean village out to sea it's just after 11:00 a.m. on a fall day a flash flood warning is in effect for vernazza Italy one of the famous string of five seaside towns called late cinque terre a willem athena no hospital amo kg for that morning we were expecting unusual weather in terms of the amount of precipitation but should be that soon atmosphere Lika Doty Cammarata he's had work with his business partner Pino Giannone in their homemade ice cream shop at first the only flood Dodi's worried about is the days flood of tourists but then the rain gets out of control enjoy my suggests okay enter the window at a certain point the way it started raining was frightening that's like an avalanche of water coming down what is your dream place in minutes for nonces main street becomes a raging river santiago mortar 42 Xena we heard an incredible noise all our refrigerator started to float and bang against the wall Dodie and Pino are trapped it's gonna pool Nicaraguan honey when law I can't get out because the water was so high I looked outside and saw mud cars and motorcycles float by just like toys car inside their shop Dodi's partner is fighting to save his three-year-old grandson but time is running out a la the child screams or something that I hear constantly even now listen don't go to Iran thing they're struggling for breath in the last few inches of air beneath the ceiling LSU's all the way up to the light down below members I didn't even think about my children in that moment I knew I was dying then in a heartbeat the unimaginable happens on Google the Filipino passed his grandson to me for a second then I turn and don't see Pino anymore he's gone not gonna borrow Pino is swept away in the flood but Dodie manages to escape with the little boy just five minutes later and it was certain death for all of us the flash flood claims the lives of Pino Giannone and two others in Vinnitsa and buries its main street in 12 feet of mud and debris a photo she came poky see me or a habeas Carey Codd in just a few hours an entire year's amount of rain fell to the ground daddy got me that's why the water caused the mountains to implode gk2 della Montaigne siano in Plaza Soto was de facto the Aqua tourists from around the world are still drawn to pronounces charms not all natural just like it always was the water the splendid seat Lockwood - Bryn little thanks to the courage of townspeople like Dodie and P know their families and Vernazza survived the harrowing flood of a century coming up Wow a giant waterspout heads straight for her house I got a tornado a tornado that's crazy and later millions of birds put on a show it felt like they were dancing when weather caught on camera continues a monster waterspout lurks offshore I've never ever seen water snap that huge and is headed straight for a house Wow so I got a tornado in a tornado that's crazy I was torn between running for cover and just observing this amazing event there was taking place that I knew I would never see again in my life Oh June 19 2013 Grand Isle Louisiana a summer getaway in the heart of the Gulf it's actually the end of the world is this far south that you can go on the west side of the Mississippi River for Richie and Sidney Malone it's an ideal spot for some of the best fishing in the country I got one hey what you got back and a front row seat when weather decides to put on a show when I walked outside and I saw that thing right off our property I was breathless I just couldn't believe what I was seeing amazing it was huge it was much bigger really than what the video reveals it grew an unbelievable amount in just a five seconds they just mush but they're worried because the waterspout is making a beeline right for their house I was standing here and the waterspout was out this direction and it was approaching our property coming right for us and that's when I thought I better get this on camera and our hand around as it went over toward the island water spots can certainly be as dangerous as the typical tornado a weak tornado that has winds up to about a hundred miles per hour occasionally they can be even stronger than that the Malone's usually see three or four water spouts a year but this one is super-sized there was an outer layer that was real white that was just balling up like alka-seltzer and a glass and then the interline was real real dark and it seemed to be going down and then there's its power there was a horseshoe boat out there that was being sucked into it from a distance and he had to turn his boat to keep it from flipping him over it could toss the boat around capsize you put you in peril and certainly there are some water spots that will move on shore so you need to treat them with respect the spout just misses their house and stretches all the way to an island over a hundred yards off shore I think if this waterspout hit land if it stayed its course and actually came toward our house and hit our house I don't think there would be anything left it was that powerful ever wondered what weathers like 93 million miles away from the Gulf where billions of tons of fiery rain fall hundreds of thousands of miles the Sun has really amazing dynamic phenomena that's happening and when that stuff is directed towards us or through the rest of the solar system we call that space weather welcome to a time-lapse of the coolest weather in our solar system in the million-degree atmosphere of the Sun powerful telescopes aboard NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory send images 22,000 miles all the way back to Earth of a spellbinding firestorm called coronal rain these plasma rains are magnetic and they're guided by these huge magnetic loops those loops are somewhere between five to ten Earth's stacked up on each other so it's way beyond the scale of the clouds it would fill up the inner solar system after a 2010 launch from the moment instruments are switched on scientist and stargazers around the world have been able to feast on the NASA satellites never-before-seen images they help explain how the sun's weather works we've never seen with this incredible clarity and they were truly caught on camera live as they were happening in this amazing view that we have never had before this storm begins when a solar flare heats up the sun's atmosphere the whole event was roughly 10 to 12 hours during a short period of time you release as much energy as could power the entire earth for a million years so it's just a staggering amount of energy beautiful shades of ultraviolet light dance on the Sun each a breathtaking clue about the sun's life-giving energy and how it affects us back on planet Earth coming up a flock of birds straight out of a horror movie there's over a million birds it's like there's a two million wings when weather caught on camera continues ever wonder what it feels like to fly one man comes up with a brilliant idea about how to experience a bird's-eye view of soaring on the wind while taking tourists on a ride of a lifetime with one of nature's magnificent creatures it was actually an idea that was hatched over a couple of years in a local bar from mid-october to mid-april it's the dry season in Pokhara Nepal temperatures at the foot of the towering Himalayas are around 80 the perfect weather for Scott Mason's to Egyptian vultures Kevin and Bob to soar to be alongside them to be above them below them ever come and land on your you know looking at the expressions on their faces the whites of their eyes you know all of these things you don't get an opportunity to see Mason's light bulb idea to rely on the vultures instinctive ability to find rising columns of air called thermals updrafts of wind caused by temperature changes that keep them aloft for hours it's a similar process to how we get a thunderstorm that Sun heats the ground the ground heats the air above it and it starts to rise so really thermals happen everywhere your goal is to always go from one thermal to the next and extend the ride on an ideal day it would be nice and sunny the beauty of flying in Nepal is that we get long seasons where it's hot sunny and dry weather conditions make it a perfect time for Mason's airborne adventure he blows a whistle to signal the vultures they're about to get their just reward a tasty piece of buffalo meat sometimes we get people that are scared of flying but once they're in the air and they're comfortable in the harness and they're concentrating on the bird knowing that their fear completely disappears at dizzying heights Mason captures vultures in flight by putting cameras on his boots on a pole on the web of paraglider ropes and most amazing of all on the backs of the vultures themselves target HD digital cameras that we attached onto the harness so we can film from the birds perspective his mission to change people's perception of a creature with a frightening reputation and help bring agent Walters back from the brink of extinction numbers have dropped by 99.9 percent in some species which only leaves a few thousand birds left being involved in this project has given me a newfound understanding of the fragility of some of our most important species much tinier birds thousands of miles away change an everyday canoe trip into a scene right out of a Hitchcock movie there's over a million birds they were so fast inches away a raw winter day in Ireland alright let's get to the island then sophie windsor clive and liberty smith set out on an icy river shannon to a mystical place called holy island this is a little dinky bird island they end up discovering something even more magical on the way all of this is somedays it's thick white fog and other days it's bright sunshine and I had a camera that I'd borrowed so I was filming a lot the changeable weather Wow the birds started arriving and more and more and more arrived in the whole sky was black as far as we could see as we were starting to paddle out into the lake they came in a huge roll the sound of that was like sitting under a huge oak tree in a storm be the footage you can hand me again yeah I think mine was Marva huh the spontaneous gathering of countless starlings is called a murmuration it only happens when temperatures drop during fall and winter months and proves their strength in numbers there's less food for other birds of prey that are around and so acting like one huge bird acting in unison like that might scare away some predators and so there's a lot of benefits to being huddled together when the temperatures start dropping the way starlings mirror each other's movements is pure acrobatic poetry in motion it felt like they were dancing it is this competitive nature to it but also there is this communal joy there is research saying that the bird is able to basically instantaneously talk to the seven birds immediately surrounding it so if any one of them switches direction for any reason they can instantly change as a group that's how you get such cool formations and then as suddenly as it all began it's over when you experience something is so intense you're just kind of holding yourself together and then you have this moment of release and that's when we both just laughed and laughed
