Overview

[edit]

Each episode featured videos sent in by viewers. The videos shown featured robberies, hostage situations, fires, and natural disasters, including tidal waves, and earthquakes and had interviews with the people involved. The program received some criticism for airing violent content in what is considered the "family hour".[1]
