'''''Surviving Disaster''''' is a new "survival show" on [[Spike TV]]. Cade Courtley, US Navy SEAL, teaches the audience how to survive various disasters that could plausibly happen on any day to nearly anyone: airliner hijacking, skyscraper inferno, hurricane, avalanche, mall terrorist attack etc. Notable in its highly dramatized presentation meant to draw the viewer into the disaster scenario and complete lack of consideration for a [[Fourth Wall]]. |

* [[No One Gets Left Behind]]: Subverted in the "Fire" episode; once a man gets severely burned, Courtley quickly apply some first aid and then leaves him in a room with a fire-resistant door because trying to take him with the rest of the group would slow them down. They do tell fire rescue about the man once they're safe, though. |
