Going on atm.
"And he was...ASIAN!"A gunman, possibly carrying explosives, has entered the headquarters of the Discovery Channel and fired shots and taken hostages, according to police and witnesses in Silver Spring, Md.
Employees at the building were told to take cover in locked offices and police have sent SWAT teams to the area to seal off nearby roads.The FBI and agents from ATF, including explosives experts, also rushed to the building.
Capt. Paul Starks said the gunman was an Asian man who had what may be an explosive device strapped to his body. Starks said there "may be other potential devices" with the gunman.
The captain said, "His beef is with Discovery."

The time of retribution has come. You can only ruin a channel so much until someone snaps.

They just said that all of the children were evacuated, so that's a big one.

not that I know of. My Planet Earth has him (and not Sigourney Weaver) but I'm not sure if they made 2 R1 versions for Life... maybe in canada? Honestly the Oprah narration is just awful lol Originally Posted by Silenka

edit: oh apparently you can, Amazon currently has it for about 10 bucks more. I think the Discovery Channel version (which she narrated) was released first in R1, the BBC Earth version (which has him) probably came out more recently.
