WEATHER CHANNEL
(Bigger Bang)
History is full of mysterious events and disappearances, from abandoned ghost ships and lost planes to strange glowing lights and unexplained booms. Could a natural phenomenon be to blame? Was the Earth itself responsible? In this series, a crack team of expert investigators collects and analyzes the evidence. But that’s not all: They also apply the latest data and science to build a virtual crime scene where the mysteries occurred and step inside the simulation to unravel the clues and crack the case.
