CNN rides along for an in-depth look at the dangerous yet important role played by storm chasers in tracking the pathways of powerful storms.  Key chasers describe how they followed the deadly Oklahoma tornadoes this week and tried to provide warnings and position information to meteorologists and disaster management officials about the strength of the twisters and the locations imperiled by the outbreak of storms in ‘Tornado Alley.’

Anderson Cooper Special Report: Back to Boston – Moments of Impact

The images of the unforgettable tragedy at April’s Boston Marathon are burned in memory…This Anderson Cooper Special Report looks at the iconic still photographs that vividly capture the unexplainable – images that capture both the horror and the heroism of the event.  CNN’s Randi Kaye interviews the photographers who filmed the most memorable images and the people whose stories they immortalized. 

ANTHONY BOURDAIN: Parts Unknown (MOROCCO/TANGIER)

there’s Something wrong with Aunt Diane

From HBO Documentaries, There’s Something Wrong with Aunt Diane, reveals previously unknown information about the notorious 2009 car accident that ended the lives of eight people, including four young children. Following the crash, the driver, Diane Schuler – wife, mother, and cable TV executive – was portrayed as a reckless drunk and overextended mother by some, and as a model wife, friend and worker by others.  The documentary recounts the day with a minute-by-minute retelling, and includes interviews with Schuler’s family, friends, co-workers, eyewitnesses, first responders, investigators, and medical and psychiatric experts.  Also drawing upon surveillance footage, family photos, news clips, and expert testimony, the film seeks to explain how things could have gone so terribly wrong on New York’s Taconic State Parkway on July 26, 2009.

ANTHONY BOURDAIN: Parts Unknown (colombia)

The public face of Colombia has changed immensely over the past 10 years and is still changing for the better.  Anthony Bourdain explores several regions of the country from the mountains down to the Caribbean coast to the coca leaf growing inlands formerly controlled by drug cartels.
