Now, I am become death, the destroyer of worlds quote was in reference to the story of Vishnu and Prince Arjuna from the Bhagavad Gita. Herein, Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

destroyed in seconds

a show on the science channel (although it was originally on the discovery channel) about things going horifically wrong, as told through archive footage from camcorders and security cams and the likes. the show is hosted and narrated by ron pitts, who has the easiest job in the world (give in intro and an enthuthiastic narration of an explosion).
regular events on the show:
explosions
speed boat wrecks
car/motorcycle crashes
stunts gone wrong
solid show that provides good bursts of half hour entertainment.
I was flipping through the channels the other day and came across an awesome explosion. Intruiged, I stayed on the channel, and heard the enthuthiastic narration of Ron Pitts, confirming that this was, in fact, Destroyed in Seconds. I watched for the next twenty minutes, intruiged by the premise of destruction.
