In the cocaine capital of the world, violence is the law. One man, more than any other, holds the country in a bloody death grip: Pablo Escobar, the world’s most notorious drug-baron. With US support, Colombia’s President fights back, but Escobar is too strong. In a desperate bid to bring about peace, the President resorts to offering a tempting deal. If the drug-lord serves just a few years, he will emerge with a clean slate. Escobar surrenders in the early 90’s, but the prison offers him a safe place to keep running his drug empire, from where he even continues ordering murders on the outside. When the government decides to act after a year of humiliation, Escobar simply walks past the guards and disappears. What follows is one of the biggest manhunts in history. But can an elite Colombian force, backed by top-secret US military technology, finally get their man? Or will the most ruthless criminal in history slip through the net, and bring an entire country to its knees once more?

Squad cars are destroyed and nine officers and two civilians are shot in a hail of more than 1,100 rounds. But, miraculously, only the perpetrators die.

Nat Geo: Munich Olympic Massacre

September 15, 1972, and the Munich Olympic Games are about to enter their tenth day of competition. The Games mark a watershed in post-WWII German/Jewish relations with a small but significant team of 12 athletes representing Israel. Although their presence symbolises the very ethos of the Games, the goodwill in the Olympic village isn™t reflected in the volatile world events occurring outside. At 4:09am a group of masked, heavily armed militants from the Palestinian faction known as Black September, enters Block 31 where members of the Israeli team are sleeping. Killing two, they take another nine athletes hostage leading to a tense stand-off with German authorities which is compounded by the thousands of media who descend on the site. Using classified government files, hidden for over 30 years, Seconds From Disaster pieces together the events that ultimately led to the tragic Munich Olympic Massacre.

Conditions deteriorate and time is running out for the hostages. As the final deadline approaches will Israel cooperate with the terrorists? Is Uganda too far to launch a rescue mission? Will the terrorists begin executing their prisoners? With the lives of so many hanging in the balance the world watches breathlessly, waiting to see how the story will unfold.

Nat Geo: Situation Critical: Moscow Theatre Siege

October 23, 2002. In the centre of Moscow, just a few miles from the Kremlin, over 50 Chechen terrorists storm the Dubrovka Theatre, home to Russia’s first Broadway-style musical ""Nord-Ost"" and take all of the 900-strong audience hostage. Led by the notorious rebel Movsar Barayev, the terrorists rig the theatre with explosives as the audience is surrounded by female suicide bombers known as the ""black widows"". The terrorists demands? An end to Russia’s long and brutal war with Chechnya. If these conditions are not met, everyone inside will die. Over the next three days President Putin refuses to negotiate with the Chechens and a plan is hatched to use a top-secret ‘knock-out’ gas which will immobilise both rebel and hostage alike. Initially a success, victory turns to disaster for Russia as hostages start to die in their dozens due to the effects of the gas. What exactly went wrong during the siege of the Dubrovka theatre, why did so many die and why does Russia still, to this day refuse to reveal exactly what the gas was?

IMAGE LIMIT:

Six months after 9/11, the œWar on Terror is well underway as US military forces occupy Afghanistan. In March 2002, a group of elite navy SEALs attempt to land on a mountain peak in Afghanistan as part of Operation Anaconda. Intelligence tells them the area is clear but their Chinook helicopter immediately comes under heavy fire. In the confusion, navy SEAL Neil Roberts falls from the helicopter and is left on the mountain. His comrades return to rescue him but are overwhelmed by the strong Al-Qaeda opposition. They retreat and call in an Army Quick Reaction Force consisting of highly trained rangers in two Chinook helicopters, Razor I and II. Razor I unknowingly flies straight into the hot zone. The Chinook is immediately shot out of the sky and four men are soon killed. The rangers onboard Razor II are forced to land lower down the mountain and face a perilous two-hour hike through thigh-deep snow and mortar fire to reach their ravaged comrades. Over the next day, the rangers face a desperate struggle for survival against a well-armed Al-Qaeda force.

Deep inside Pennsylvania™s Quecreek mine, 18 workers descend for their evening shift on 24 July 2002. A few hours later, their lives are plunged into peril when one of the miners accidentally breaks through into a long abandoned mine “ unleashing 60 million gallons of stagnant groundwater. Nine of the miners fight their way through the raging torrent and escape. The other nine retreat to the highest section of the mine, where they sit and wait to be drowned by the rising floodwater. Their only hope is that the feverish rescue operation underway 240 feet above their heads will reach them before the water does. 77 hours later, the miners are plucked to safety through a 30-inch wide rescue shaft, drilled by their heroic team of rescuers.

Nat Geo: Situation Critical: Nightmare On Mount Hood

QUOTE

One wrong step by a climber on Mount Hood in the US leads to one of America’s worst climbing disasters. Linked together by ropes, four climbers steadily trace a path down the mountain slope in May 2002 when one man loses his footing in the icy conditions and crashes into his partners. With no one able to gain footing, the group careens down the mountain, slamming into other climbers along the way. Nine men tumble into a gaping crevasse known as the Bergshrund – three are killed instantly. But for the six survivors, some badly injured, the fight is now to escape the crevasse. Fellow climbers group together to lift them to safety, but as a rescue helicopter approaches, a fresh disaster looms. With TV cameras running, the state-of-art Air Force helicopter loses power in the thin mountain air and crashes to the ground with five crewmembers inside. The lines between rescuer and rescued blurs on one of the most dangerous mountains in America.

How long will the lunar module engine function? Will the crew have enough food and water? And how will they cope with the freezer-like conditions?
