Each episode of the History Channel program Time Machine takes viewers on an in-depth journey through a seldom traveled corridor of world history. Relying mostly on interviews with experts and the use of archival footage, each tape puts viewers into the historical experience. In this particular episode, viewers get a low-down look at the 1991 storm of the century that spawned many books and movies. Packed with footage shot by the Coast Guard during this five-day storm, this is an unnerving look at the unthrottled force of nature.
