Preview of 'Counterterror NYC':
As evident from 9/11 and more recent terrorist attacks, New York City is a top target number for international terrorists. NGC embeds with New York's finest, the New York Police Department, for an in-depth look at the terror task force responsible for defending the city that never sleeps. Major events take place throughout the year that could be a tempting target for a suicide bomber, truck bomb, backpack bomb or small arms attack. We'll take to the skies in a state-of-the-art helicopter to see how officers patrol the U.S. Open. Plunge into the East River with the department's scuba team using sophisticated sonar technology to search for explosive devices during a United Nations assembly. Meet members of the bomb squad that responded to the smoking SUV in the 2010 Times Square bombing attempt. And ring in New Year 2011 with the task force securing Times Square during this year's celebration. We'll be on location filming everything from the briefings leading up to the event, the day-of bomb sweeps and security checks, and monitoring the crowd with the counterterrorism division as the ball drops.

Drugged National Geographic Special High on Ecstasy
Preview of 'Drugged':
Over the past 30 years ecstasy has become one of the world's most notorious drugs. No other illegal substance has had the same effect on fashion, music and how we party. This film follows two recreational ecstasy users over one night and, using computer graphics, journeys inside the body and the brain to explore how the drug creates its highs and its lows. With access to cutting edge research at the University of Chicago we find out how ecstasy creates empathy in the user and how this could one day lead to the drug being used as a life saving prescription medicine for use in therapy. Whilst ecstasy is the perfect high for some, there are those for whom ecstasy is agony - this film tells their story too: a young woman whose use of the drug ended her up in the psychiatric ward, a 17-year-old whose ecstasy use landed her in a hospital, and a mother whose son died from overheating after taking ecstasy. Killer chemical or the ultimate feel good high, this is the inside story of how ecstasy works.
