World's Most Amazing Videos — Season 1, Episode 5: Impact: Seconds from Disaster

Episode synopsis

Brace yourself for one of the most explosive episodes yet. High above the earth, two fighter jets collide in a fiery midair disaster. On the ground, a tactical exercise goes horribly wrong when a firebomb engulfs a man in flames. Inside a maximum-security prison, guards are ambushed during one of the most violent riots ever caught on camera. Then, a race car spins out of control and strikes a bystander with terrifying force, sending them flying through the air. And aboard a Navy aircraft carrier, a crew member gets too close to a roaring jet engine — and is instantly pulled into its powerful vacuum. Real danger. Real footage. Real lives on the line. This is not a movie. This is real. This is… The World’s Most Amazing Videos.
