High above the Himalayas, a paraglider becomes entangled with a vulture, bringing both down to earth; kayakers are almost swallowed by a whale; a tidal bore washes motorists off the road.
Campers experience the raw power of a lightning strike; a massive boulder demolishes a car; a gorilla has its way with a tourist.
An impala finds an unlikely escape from a cheetah; a skier is buried alive; a paraglider dukes it out with a kangaroo.
The worst avalanche in recorded history wreaks havoc on the Everest base camp; a fisherman dives into the deep sea to save a whale; an orangutan finds a friend and won't let go.
