I started watching this new series on the Discovery Channel called Deadliest Catch. It's a documentary on the Alaskan Crab industry. Huge pay for the fisherman (Upwards of $140k person for 5 Days if they're lucky), but it's unbelievably dangerous. The ice, seas, cold, storms. Huge numbers of people die. The show follows the crews of two boats through the season, which can last only days, depending on how much the crews catch. Within the first day, one ship sinks and five people die. Hardcore.
