Angry Planet

Angry Planet

Avalanche danger is very high in the Rogers Pass area of the Trans Canada Highway in British Columbia. Host of Angry Planet George Kourounis travels with a variety of experts to bring down huge avalanches in the Rocky Mountains. Ski Patrollers throw hand charges to clear the slopes, the British Columbia Department of Highways uses helicopter bombing and mountaintop mortars to keep the roads safe, and the Canadian Armed Forces fire 105mm howitzers at the mountains to bring down the dangerous snow. Still, there are accidents and fatalities in the mountains. We meet Francois Desroisers, an avalanche burial victim who tells a terrible and tragic tale of a mountain disaster.

Angry Planet

Mount Washington, New Hampshire has the dubious title of being home to the worlds worst weather. The highest wind ever recorded on the planet 231 miles per hour was recorded at its mountaintop observatory. To prepare for a mid-winter assault on the summit, Angry Planet host George Kourounis becomes a human popsicle, encased in ice in at the National Resarch Councils high speed wind tunnel. Then he and his sidekick Mark Robinson climb to the top of the mountain in mid-January and brave their way into a summit blizzard.
