The device, a turtle-like contraption, is blown away within seconds of the tornado hitting. Dr. Tim Samaras, whose research is supported by National Geographic, drops the special instrumented probe into the path of a frightening close oncoming tornado. 9PM ET-NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER: AMERICA'S BIG CAT CRISIS Could a 500-pound tiger be living next door to you? Is America is in the midst of a big cat crisis? It's a problem that some believe has exploded in recent years as thousands of private individuals acquire large, exotic felines as pets, unaware of the amount of care these animals require. EXPLORER examines both sides in this powerful and emotionally-charged debate over private ownership of big cats, asking who, if anyone, should possess this piece of the wild. Speaking from experience, Carol and Ron Asvestas advocate a total ban on private ownership of exotic animals. 10PM ET-MSNBC INVESTIGATES: DEATH ROW DIARY (http://investigates.msnbc.com) A child murderer on death row accounts for his actions and provides a video diary as his ultimate act of seeking forgiveness and possibly offering closure to the victim's family. 11PM ET-MSNBC REPORTS: WITNESS TO THE EXECUTION The inside story of one execution, its witnesses and why they chose to be in attendance and to see life pass before their eyes. 12AM ET-MSNBC INVESTIGATES: MERCY FOR A MURDERER? How do you punish a child who has committed a very adult crime? Should he pay with his life? A seemingly normal 16 year old boy in America's heartland kills not once, twice, but three times. In this program we follow the death row appeal of Sean Sellers, who was 16 when he was found guilty of killing his mother and stepfather as they slept. Years later, as the countdown to his execution begins, the debate goes on about whether this grown man who says he's found God and repented should be put to death for crimes he committed as a teenager. 1AM ET-MSNBC INVESTIGATES: DEATH ROW DIARY 2AM ET-MSNBC REPORTS: WITNESS TO THE EXECUTION 3AM ET-MSNBC INVESTIGATES: MERCY FOR A MURDERER? 4AM ET-MSNBC INVESTIGATES: DEATH ROW DIARY *****SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19***** 5AM ET-MSNBC REPORTS: WITNESS TO THE EXECUTION 6AM ET-MSNBC INVESTIGATES: MERCY FOR A MURDERER? 7AM ET-ECONOMY WATCH 8AM-12PM ET-MSNBC LIVE 12PM ET-AMERICA'S VOICES 1-6PM ET-HARDBALL WITH CHRIS MATTHEWS 6PM ET-NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER: YELLOWSTONE-REALM OF THE COYOTE Yellowstone's coyotes become our guides to the park as National Geographic Explorer Wild follows their survival through the seasons. 7PM ET-NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER: ULTIMATE CROC National Geographic Explorer Wild travels to the wilds of Africa to track the Nile crocodile, one of Earth's deadliest and most feared killers.

Now, she must protect it, and, in this case, size is everything. 9PM ET-NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER: DEADLY FASHION National Geographic Ultimate Explorer host Lisa Ling is taking on her first undercover operation to expose the illegal trade fueling the slaughter of chiru, or Tibetan antelope.
