Raging Planet is an American documentary television series that originally aired in 1997 and 2009 on the Discovery Channel. The program focuses on natural disasters. It currently airs periodically on the Science Channel.

Summary[]

The show, Raging Planet, focuses on natural disasters that happen on Earth, including tornadoes, hurricanes, avalanches, lightning, fires, volcanoes, earthquakes, and blizzards. It features actual videos taken during disasters, CGI effects, and a few reenactments. The show often had the science behind how these disasters occurred (how lightning forms, how a tornado is born, etc.) as well as case studies of certain disasters. The program often uses scale models rather than CGIs. Rescue workers, scientists, and survivors are interviewed. Actual footage of rescue workers and scientists predicting and researching the featured disaster is used. Season 2 was produced in 2008–2009 on HD format from locations around the world. Transmitted in the United States, the United Kingdom, and internationally in 2009 on the Discovery Channel, the series was directed by Mark Westcott, Alex Williamson, Susannah Ward, and Martin Gorst, and was produced by Pioneer TV.
