Inside Marjah: Marines Battle IED Daisy Chains and a Hidden Sniper

“You have to act.” From the first chaotic minutes after touchdown to a sniper’s round stopped inches from a Marine’s eye, this is Marjah up close. Go inside Operation Moshtarak in Helmand as U.S. Marines and Afghan soldiers push through 360-degree contact, hunt a shooter firing through a wall slit, and adapt when IEDs force a chess game instead of checkers. Watch EOD uncover a daisy-chained kill zone, a medevac bird take RPG fire, and a hard choice about air support collide with concerns for civilians. Inside compounds, Marines find opium and ammonium nitrate. In town, bazaars reopen, condolence payments are delivered, and “government in a box” is put to the test — but the fight, and doubts, remain. Raw, unfiltered, and deeply human, this documentary reveals the split-second decisions, the cost of mistakes, and the fragile work of counterinsurgency you never see in headlines. Watch to the end for the moment that redefines what “holding ground” really means in Marjah. Watch the full story now.

Storms, waves and risky maneuvers - The most dangerous job in the North Sea?

Marine pilots must make crucial decisions under extreme conditions. Transferring from a cargo ship to a small pilot boat in hurricane-force gusts can be fatal. For marine pilots, this is the most dangerous moment in their daily working lives: climbing down a rope ladder from a cargo ship in gale-force gusts, and transferring to a small pilot boat. In mid-January, a pilot fell into the sea off Borkum and was taken to hospital suffering from hypothermia. Just a few days earlier, a British colleague died during a similar maneuver. Harbor pilot Gerhard Janssen and sea pilot Dominik Thieben are getting ready for their assignment. In force 8 winds, they set off in the pilot boat to the cargo ship "Silver Soul". They must guide it safely out of the harbor, along the Ems River in northern Germany, and out into the North Sea. They face oncoming traffic, poor visibility and a narrow channel that leaves little room to maneuver. Off the island of Borkum, a pilot boat will pick them up and take them back to shore.

Every Major Theory About The Lizzie Borden Case Explained

August 4, 1892. A quiet Fall River home. Two brutal murders that still divide history. Step inside 92 Second Street as historians retrace the morning Abby and Andrew Borden were killed, why the house’s locked doors and a bowl of leftover mutton stew matter, and how a reported giggle on the staircase became legend. We examine the infamous 90 minute gap between killings, the handless hatchet, pears in the barn, and theories that range from Lizzie’s motive to the shadowy roles of John Morse and the rumored William Borden. Then follow the case into courtrooms, onto the AP wire, and through a century of pop culture shaping a woman the world thinks it knows. From forensic artifacts at the Fall River Historical Society to Maplecroft and the myths that refuse to die, this is a meticulous look at what we can prove — and what still haunts the story. Watch to discover the clues you may have missed and decide what you believe happened in that house. Watch now and step into America’s most debated unsolved case.
