Storm Chasers
Premiere date: 17 March at 19h00
Every year a motley collection of scientists, enthusiasts and eccentrics brace themselves for another season of storm chasing.
Their goal is to spot one of Mother Nature's deadliest and most violent creations: the tornado. But for our team, seeing a tornado is not enough; the team hopes to achieve the impossible and actually go inside one of these storms.
Research meteorologist Josh Wurman has teamed up with extreme filmmaker Sean Casey to form an amazing partnership.
They both share the goal of intercepting a tornado, but for entirely different reasons. Josh needs an individual who can carry his scientific instruments into the vortex of a tornado, and Sean needs someone who can direct him into the correct position to capture incredible IMAX footage.
Filming from the turret of his custom-built Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV), Sean puts his life on the line as he endeavours to get the most elusive - and riskiest - tornado footage ever shot.
