Deadly Skies (1x3)

Uitzenddatum: Jun 20, 2000

Strange and deadly powers reside in Earth's atmosphere-- killer lightning bolts appear out of nowhere, hail comes just as suddenly, and rocks from space rewrite the landscape. This episode includes: a supercell thunderstorm in Sydney, Australia, that batters the city with giant hailstones; two glider pilots blown out of the sky by a sizzling lightning bolt; scientists who shoot rockets into storms to force lightning strikes; and the search for space debris like the 27-pound meteor that smashed into a car in Peekskill, New York.
