The sky might not be falling, but it seems to be crumbling. Savage Planet: Deadly Skies casts a wary eye upward to watch for hailstones, lightning bolts, and meteorites that appear out of the blue to catch even the best-prepared by surprise. Footage from the scene, interviews with survivors, and scientific explanations make up the bulk of the program, which focuses on a few events to clarify the general issue. Sydney, Australia's devastating hailstorm, gliders shot from the sky by a mystery lightning strike, and a car- destroying meteor hit all illuminate the rare but deadly phenomena that scientists are only beginning to understand. Viewers interested in the quest for knowledge will appreciate the interviews with scientists working to provoke lighting bolts using rockets; their work might well provide insight and protection in years to come. --Rob Lightner
