Surviving Disasters - SpikeTV Discussion

Tuesday's 10pm

I caught the first episode last week - Surviving an Airline Hijacking

This episode was great - I like the host, how the whole scenario is set up, how he guides the group of people through the process, expert input.

Stuff I learned:

- don't just charge a hijacker, there may be a "sleeper" within the group of passengers that will attack you from behind.

- Wrap a jacket around your arm / use the seat cushion as a shield to protect yourself from a terrorist with a knife.

- use your keys, pens, pencils etc... and attack the windpipe.

- attack in pairs one guy goes in to block the knife - the other guy comes over the top and takes out the terrorist.

This week they had - How to Survive a High Rise Office Fire.

Another great episode!

- Tie cat5 cables together to make a rope you can repel down with

- use fire stairs ONLY!! they are pressurized and reinforced against collapse

- If you can't get out into the hallway - go through the walls

- How to move against a panicked stampede of people.

Anyone else watching?

I liked the home invasion one... I have to remember to resist turning on the lights - so I can keep my competitive advantage over an intruder.

The avalanche one looks good. I'll watch it within the next couple of days.

I loved the Nuclear Fallout out one last night. That has to be the best episode yet, they give you a lot of good tips. I was shocked that they showed you how to hot wire a car step by step.

Oh cool!!! I have always wondered how to do that.

I just finished the "mall terrorist takeover" liked how they gave you a quick AK-47 lesson - how to make a silencer for a gun.
