   Anyone wanting a closer look, or to actually get a glimpse of the   
   interior of a tornado, would need a heavy, armored vehicle that could   
   withstand intense winds, debris and hail.   
      
   That's exactly what IMAX cinematographer Sean Casey has built with his   
   Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV). The TIV is big, heavy and armor plated.   
   With it, Casey hopes to record a direct hit with a tornado and survive.
