World's Most Amazing Videos — Season 1, Episode 2: The Scariest Show on Earth

Episode synopsis

The world is full of unexpected danger — and in this pulse-pounding episode, survival hangs by a thread. Under the big top, chaos erupts when a circus elephant goes on a rampage, sending performers and spectators fleeing. In a historic cathedral, a violent earthquake strikes, trapping tourists beneath tons of stone and rubble. As flames engulf a building, a woman is forced to make a desperate leap to save her life. A TV cameraman risks everything to document a scene of unfolding terror. And in a moment of pure horror, a bungee jump takes a deadly turn when the cord snaps midair. These are not stunts. These are not actors. These are real people… facing real danger. This is… The World’s Most Amazing Videos.
