Synopsis
Can't get enough of the awesome spectacle of destruction? You're not alone. Few can ever get their fill of the mesmerizing power of savage forces wreaking havoc and devastation.
In each episode of Destroyed in Seconds, host Ron Pitts brings you clip after clip of the most shocking destructions captured on film.
From well-orchestrated implosions of massive structures, to rampaging tornadoes, catastrophic mid-air collisions and sudden terrorist attacks, no topic is too trivial or taboo for the show.
Be they acts of nature or caused by man, this is much more than just a clip show.
Destroyed in Seconds is not meant to just shock and entertain, but to explore the causes of mass destruction and how, when possible, families and communities bounce back from devastation.
Don't miss a moment as Ron explores the cause and effect of catastrophe caught on tape.
