In the wake of the world's most catastrophic typhoon which recently hit the Philippines, MEGASTORM: WORLD'S BIGGEST TYPHOON examines the science behind the storm, the devastating human consequence, and what Mother Nature might have in store for our world in the future.
Featuring never-before-seen footage from news crews on the ground, insight from top scientists in the field and exclusive testimony from storm chasers who witnessed the build-up and the cataclysmic event itself.

Tracking Typhoon Haiyan hour by hour, the hour-long documentary special tells the story of how it happened -- revealing the science behind its deadly power and the perfect storm of events that led to it. This exclusive documentary special will feature unique interviews with leading climatology, meteorology and ocean scientists, together with 3D graphics, satellite imagery and practical demonstrations to uncover the behaviour of the storm using the very latest technology.

Delving deeper into the science of storms, MEGASTORM: WORLD'S BIGGEST TYPHOON will predict what might be to come based on the inevitable impact of climate change and rising sea temperatures -- asking whether we are ready -- and looking at how we can protect ourselves. Contrasting Haiyan with other recent storms around the globe, the documentary will identify the threats to life and civilization in many countries, looking at the latest technology being deployed to detect storms better in the future - and how countries should be planning for such natural disasters. less
