Surviving Disaster

TV Show · Documentary · Reality

The world can be a dangerous place, but Navy SEAL Cade Courtley can help you learn to make it through the worst. As host of SURVIVING DISASTER, Courtley guides viewers through realistic simulations of a variety of natural disasters, accidents, and violent crimes -- including airplane hijackings, bank robberies, bear attacks, and avalanches. They aren't common events, but they do happen -- and, as Courtley makes clear in this entertaining and educational series, few people know how to handle themselves in these kinds of situations. But the simple techniques and common-sense tips he presents could make the difference between life and death.
