Nu op NatGeo: Geoff Mackley in Cheating death: Storm shoote

Brief Summary

Cameraman Geoff Mackley has been described as adventurer, nature freak, and global disaster seeker. He's a man with a passion for danger in search of nature's fury. When Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand, burst into life in a series of violent eruptions in 1995, Geoff Mackley was the first on the scene filming these explosive images. It was a day that changed the landscape and Geoff - forever. Storm chasing is now his passion. He tracks every disaster around the globe using high-tech equipment from his home in Auckland, New Zealand, and pushes himself to the limits to be the first cameraman at the scene. He makes a living by getting in harm's way! For the first time ever, viewers will accompany Geoff right from the word 'Go', as he travels to remote and strife-torn regions to capture live pictures of disaster as it strikes, and broadcasts them around the world using the latest computer technology. Storm Shooter follows Geoff as he races half way across the world to the disaster area in Mexico, and witnesses every moment as he battles against 150mph wind gusts, flying debris and severe flooding to capture the drama on tape.
