For those who find a certain fascination in dissecting disasters and marveling at near misses, the History Channel has you covered. “History’s Most Shocking” returns Monday, March 10th, with a fresh batch of unbelievable moments caught on camera, all meticulously analyzed by host Tony Harris.
This episode examines a range of incidents, from a snowmobiler buried alive in an avalanche to a series of near-fatal encounters with speeding trains. Harris and his team of experts break down the footage, exploring the hows and whys of these extreme events. What factors led to that snowmobile being swept away? What series of decisions put those individuals in the path of an oncoming locomotive?
In a particularly interesting segment, the episode explores the real-life plane crash that served as the inspiration for the opening sequence of the 1970s TV series “The Six Million Dollar Man.” And in a slightly less dramatic but still harrowing moment, viewers will see footage of a vehicle losing its wheels at full speed on a highway.
“History’s Most Shocking” offers a mix of morbid curiosity and educational value, dissecting these events to understand not only what went wrong, but also what can be learned to prevent similar incidents in the future. Tune in to History Channel this Monday, March 10th at 10:03 PM EST.
