Is it a prehistoric animal emerging from its shadowy den for the first time in a millennia? Perhaps it is a product of a top-secret genetic experiment gone awry? There are hundreds of theories for what is viciously sucking the blood from goats, horses, and other livestock in Central and South America. Whatever it is, locals call it just one thing "el chupacabra", in English, "the goatsucker". A farmer in Nicaragua decides to take action after the chupacabra claim 25 of his sheep in just weeks. On a night watch he sees the goatsuckers' glowing eyes and fires his rifle into the darkness. Is the fanged creature that lay before him the chupacabra? This case and others have inspired a chupacabras fervor that has taken Latin America by storm. Chupacabra tee-shirts, merengue tunes, and even an annual festival in the border town of Zapata, Texas, U.S., are all spin-offs from the ghastly livestock murders. Is the chupacabra sensation really just a product of rampant hysteria and tall tales? Or is it real?

Twenty minutes after leaving the Egyptian resort of Sharm El Sheikh, a plane carrying Russian tourists falls out of the sky. Charred remains in the Sinai Desert are all that's left of Metrojet 9268, and an international team of investigators gathers near the crash zone. At first, a terrorist group affiliated with the Islamic State claims they shot down the plane as retaliation for Russian military attacks in Syria. But it will take clever detective work to figure out what really happened.

A terrorist bombing in the Canary Islands reroutes dozens of flights to the Spanish island of Tenerife. The tiny airport is swamped, and with so many planes parked in the taxiways, controllers instruct departing flights to use the airport's only runway to get into position for takeoff. Amongst the planes leaving, obscured by the heavy fog-are two 747s. But Pan Am Flight 1736 is still on the runway when KLM Flight 4805 careens toward it. Killing 583 people, the high-speed collision remains the single deadliest aviation accident of all time. Blame soon falls on one pilot, but as investigators sift through the evidence the true story behind the Tenerife disaster grows more and more complex.

August 31, 1986. A calm Labor Day weekend is shattered by a horrifying tragedy. A Los Angeles neighborhood is devastated and more than 80 lives are lost when two planes fall from the sky. An Aeromexico DC-9 is preparing to land at Los Angeles International Airport one of the busiest in the world when it collides with a much smaller private plane, a Piper Cherokee. The Cherokee slices off the tail of the DC-9, causing it to spiral out of control and crash. The smaller plane also crashes into the quiet suburb. The devastation is horrific: all onboard perish and at least fifteen houses are destroyed. The entire area is ablaze. Investigators must discover why this horrible event happened to ensure it never occurs again. When interviewing the air traffic controller on duty, investigators discover that another plane had entered the "Terminal Control Area" surrounding LAX the TCA without permission. Dealing with this third plane may have distracted the controller and kept him from seeing the Cherokee on his radar. The crew on the larger plane, and the pilot on the smaller plane also seem to have been oblivious of each other in the moments before the crash suggesting problems with the standard "see and avoid" technique relied on at busy airports. The NTSB issued its report and the FAA took the recommendations to heart. It imposed changes to the way planes are monitored and tracked around U.S. airports by putting into place a new system which orally and visually alerts controllers to potential collisions. In addition, the FAA regulated that smaller planes must be equipped with a more sophisticated kind of transponder, while larger planes must be outfitted with collision avoidance systems. Since these measures were adopted, there hasnt been another mid-air collision in the United States.

Documentary recounting the extraordinary story of the Space Shuttles, the world's first reusable spacecraft. Conceived 50 years ago, it was hoped the Shuttle's would be a new, safe and cost effective way of getting into space. Flying 17500 miles an hour, 13 times faster than Concorde and with heatproof skin that could withstand temperatures twice as hot as larva, the Shuttles pushed technology to new highs. The man charged with making the maiden space flight in 1981, Bob Crippen reveals how the first mission nearly ended in disaster when part of the Shuttle's heatshield failed. But the flight was a success and the Shuttle fleet got to work. With room for 8 astronauts the Shuttles would carry more equipment and more people into space than any other spaceship. And the Shuttles allowed NASA to open its doors to women for the first time. As Rhea Seddon, the first female Shuttle Astronaut recounts NASA wasn't prepared for the new arrivals and had to invent special space nappies so they could use the spacesuits. But away from the cameras there was another side to the Shuttles. Historian Roland White reveals from the outset the Shuttles had been designed to carry out secret spy missions for the US military. In 1983 President Regan became determined to use them to build his famous Star Wars missile defence shield in space and win the Cold War. But costing up to $15bn a launch, the Shuttles were proving to be far harder to maintain and more expensive than predicted. As Wayne Hale, the man in charge of the Shuttle program explains in 1986, NASA was so desperate to keep the public onside, it came up with a plan to send an ordinary citizen, teacher Christa McAuliffe into space and beam a lesson live into US classrooms. But, when NASA ignored warnings from its own engineers and when Shuttle Challenger exploded, killing Christa and rest of the crew, the shuttle program faced being shut down.

In 1986 the destruction of the Shuttle Challenger was broadcast live on TV. As America considered grounding its fleet for good, they were stunned to discover they were not the only country with a Shuttle. Convinced the US Shuttles must be a weapon, the Soviets had stolen the plans from NASA and built their own – they called it: the Buran, meaning Blizzard. And like the Americans, the Soviets quickly realised the costs of reusable spacecraft were prohibitively expensive and after flying one only once, the Russian Shuttles were left to rot. NASA was banking on proving the Shuttles worth by launching the biggest and most expensive space telescope ever built. But when a mistake making the telescopes optics left NASA with nothing but burred images, the Shuttle program's future was left hanging by a thread. With breath-taking archive from the time, this film recounts the epic Shuttle mission sent to repair the telescope and salvage NASA's reputation. The Hubble telescope would transform our understanding of the Universe but, with costs spiralling, President Clinton threatened to shut it down. In a twist of fate, the Shuttles were saved by the collapse of the Soviet Union. US intelligence feared former Soviet rocket scientist would defect to rogue states if the Russian space program ended so persuaded Clinton to use the Shuttle fleet to keep the Russian space station Mir going. Shuttle Commander and former Navy fighter tells of the moment the two spaceships connected and he shook hands with Russian Commander on Mir, officially bringing the Cold War to an end. But, as Britain's only Shuttle Astronaut Michael Foale reveals, working with the Russians was not easy. As the dramatic archive of his 4 month stay on MIR shows, Michael nearly died when the Russian space station was struck by a supply module. But out of this unique co-operation would come the biggest space project ever attempted: the International Space Station. Built by 16 nations, the huge $150bn space station could only be assembled by the Shuttles. In 2003, the loss of a second Shuttle, the Columbia would put the whole project in jeopardy. With gripping archive filmed inside mission control as the disaster unfolded, the program examines the mistakes NASA made that claimed the lives of another seven astronauts. But the disaster did not spell the end of the Shuttle programme. And in an emotional end to series Barbara Morgan recounts how 21 years after she'd been selected as the backup for teacher Christa McAuliffe who died in the Challenger, she became a professional astronaut and helped complete the International Space Station. Still in operation today, it remains the Shuttle's greatest achievement.
