8:The Fiery Abyss
The Trigger Effect
James Burke , in the first of a series of ten films, examines the connections between ideas, inventions and amazing coincidences that have made our modern world the shape it is. What happened in the past to make our 20th-century lives so complex? What are the strange events, accidents, people and places that have come together to make change happen - and what will it do to us next?
Today's clues: What is the connection between an ear of corn, a Kuwaiti falcon and a Swedish airliner-and why does that connection make all our lives a potential disaster movie?
A totally fascinating examination of the things around us, and how they came to be, and the ways they affect our lives and how we think and behave.
