Grid in california. Beyond putting a few bullets into a power plant. What happens to children with autism. The per accept chul worl perception world is very difficult. He will hand the keys over to jimmy fallon. We begin with what might be the most significant incident ever of domestic terrorism, are solving the power grid. In april of last year unknown attackers cut Communications Cables and fired 100 rounds to san jose power plant. Quick action by the Power Company minimized effects to consumers. Brian michael jenkins, senior advisory at the rand operation, who has served as an advisory to the Nuclear Regulator commission. Now regulatory commission. Do you agree that it was not a terrorist attack . Well, i dont know where the investigation is right now. It would be hard to say whether i agree or disagree. There is one interesting part of this attack there was no claim of responsibility, no attempt by the perpetrators of the attack, to gain publicity. Which is often a hallmark of terrorism. Terrorism could be a motive but other motives could include a hostile employ, extortion or other motives we dont know yet. We dont know what motive might have been behind this attack, but an official of pg e said this was a very wellthought attack and that they targeted specific components. What does that tell you . That scug suggests either they had done their homework or had inside knowledge of how the system works. You know, we look as these facilities, there is an array of transformers and power lines. To the ordinary outsider its mystifying. One wouldnt know which ones to fire rounds add, the ones at, the ones to go after. The fact that they were targeting specific components, does suggest a degree of more sophisticated knowledge. Ing a fellow of the Nuclear Regulatory commission, believes it could take down the u. S. Power grid and black out much of the country. Again what do you think . Do you think theres a likelihood at least that this was a test for a bigger attack . I can say that. We have certainly seen in our own history of the united grid. In fact, in the years past, there was attacked on the same power grid last april, a Group Calling itself the new world liberation front carried out a bombing campaigning directed towards the electrical power grid and caused some serious blackouts in saws le sausalito and san jose. But to bring down a major tack that would bring down the system nationwide, that would require hitting a number of specific points, simultaneously, to preclude the possibility that the authorities could reroute power. It could happen. I dont want to say its not feasible. But in recent years, we really havent seen terrorist plots that have reached that magnitude. Most of the terrorist plots weve seen in this country since 9 11, 68 of them have involved a single individual, the others have been tiny conspiracies. And in the past, there have been blackouts and they have as you said created all kinds of redundancies to prevent the major grids going down again. But they took out 17 transformers, six circuit breakers, it was 15 million worth of damage. This was pretty significant what they managed to do. The power grid is out there, unprotected, right . There is no question, there are vulnerabilities, what is the scale of threat against those vulnerabilities . We have in our society, especially, a technologydependent society like the united states, vulnerabilities are almost inventory. Infinite. That does not necessarily translate into an actual threat. We have to make decisions how we allocate finite Security Forces to protect against these. We cant protect against every single possible contingency. We simply dont have the resources for that. As you bring up technology, when u. S. Officials warn about attacks on electric Power Facilities an on the grid, the first thing that most often comes to mind is sophisticated computer hackers getting malwear and shutting us down. Threat . I dont know if thats bigger one. In the cyberarea, in the form of physical sa sabotage, because there are so many people with this technical knowhow which has become energiesingly available, we know increasingly available. You dont want to conflate that with terrorist attacks, but it certainly keeps the issue of cyber vulnerability on the front pages. Brian jenkins of the rand corporation, great to have you on the show. Thank thank you. Men who attended this school said it was hell on earth and require the small white house on the property where they endured sexual abuse and brutal beatings. The search for 40 more bodies continues. Jerry cooper was sold to the doaz ye Dozier School in 1950. Works to stop violence. You were sent to this school because were running away and for decades there were horrors taking place there how did it stay open for 110 years . Antonio, the only thing i can say to that question, the mindset it never claingd, you know, from the changed, from the day it started until it ended. The place was never policed properly by the right authorities. And they did what they wanted to do, at will, when it came to us. And you believe that you actually absolutely. What happened . I had four other witnesses. We were actually is being coached. Being coached, months before the regular season would open for the Football Team, i was a quarterback for the Football Team and we were practicing illegally according to state law. The heat was so bad and they hid us in the gym, because that way none of the other schools or people would know that we were practicing that time. And it took a boys life. He was actually run to death. And i tried to go ahead sir. No please, go ahead. You tried what . I tried to intervene when he collapsed. And is it okay to use names . Uh sure. Okay. His name was edgar elton. He was 15 years old. And he had collapsed a couple of times on the gym floor. And troy tidwell, along with r. W. Hatton forced him to get up to run again. When i tried to intervene, r. W. Hatton reached for his pistol. He was in the gym that day. They made him run until he collapsed again and he died. He didnt stand ochance. Some of those people faced charges before. You believe many of those boys wering exposed to beatings that led to shock . We had children there as young as ten, 11 and 12 years old. They couldnt take on some of the beating. I know i took on 135 lashes add 1 00, went into shock, had to rip my night clothing out of my rear end and also my legs. I cant imagine some of the tenyearold, 11yearold kids being able to survive beatings like that. They were quite common, went on every day. Anything ocould lead to a absolutely. If you looked at somebody wrong, they called it youre oddlooking, what they referred to, or eyeballing me, you could go to the white house. Anything could put you in the white house at any given time. And the university of south florida is leading the search for bodies on the school property. Theyve said that they expect to find a total of more than 100 bodies when theyre done . Yes, thats what i understand. And i understand that for the last few days, that theyve had cadaver dogs in there from up massachusetts, connecticut, and i was told by a pretty good, reliable source, theres been some hits for the dogs. But thats all i be know at this point. And the university has released names hoping for information about boys that went missing. They know very little about these boys, anything tied to their deaths. You said at times if kids tried to escape they would actually send dogs out after them . Absolutely. The full back for the Football Team just before we started our football practice had tried to escape. And he ended up with about 200 stitches in his face, arms, chest, and that was from a dog attack after he had tried to get away. I mean, these dogs were brutal. They had dobie and they also had pit bull mixes along with bloodhounds. And the odds of you escaping them was about next to none. Now florida prosecutors have yet to file really any significant charges or any big criminal investigations. What do you hope is going to come out of this . Well, i would hope that after finding 24 more bodies, in a graveyard that the fdle stated there was only 31, would be do cause to launch a criminal investigation, wouldnt you sir . Well, in seeing all these bodies certainly. But one instructor in the school was accused of abuse in a class action applaud i lawsuit but that case was dismissed, the judge saying the statute of limit limits limitation limitations had run out. The statute of limitations for murder never rung runs out. When i accused trio troy ti tidwell, he is accused under the fifth amended. The only amendment. Its not going ohappen through the state of florida. Ive been through every Political Office there is, in this state, asking why. I even contacted the District Attorney for the 14th district, which is where the crime happened, and he refuses to discuss it with me. How did your experience and his experience how did your experience at the school affect your life . Badly. After i left this ive been treated all my life for poststress. Anger management. I have been in anger management on a couple of occasions. And ive just been an angry person ever since i left there. My life was changed when i left there. I wasnt the same kid that went in there. And it ruined a lot of these mens plieives. I have men lives. I have men now that are white house boys that are incarcerated and they are my age. This had a lot to do with that, you cant treat boys and not expect repercussions down the line. You just never heal from it. I wish you the best of luck in uncuferg what truly happened there. , thank you. Whats it really like to suffer from autism . Well have a unique look of the mind of a child with autism.

But the costs are unbelievably high. The short subject, karama has no walls. It follows the attack of government forces, on a peaceful peaceful town in yemen that took 55 lives. The results are chilling. [ shots fired ] sara ashak directed the film. Karama has no walls is playing in select cities across the country with a program showing the other oscar nominated short subjects, on itunes wednesday. Sara, as you had cameras in yemen as part of that countrys arab spring. How these peaceful people just started getting killed like they were sitting ducks. Why did this happen . No one really knows obviously why it happened. It came as a shock to everybody, myself included which is why you know i really felt the need to make a film about it. Sort of, the willingness of this camera man to stay steadfast and document, regardless of the danger they were putting themselves, it was nothing i had ever seemed before. What i sort of tried oshow in the film, the to show in the film was the peaceful setup, the sitins, the way that people buildin assembled and it was a peaceful setting. In yemen it was like a day out event they would take part in as a family. Thats what i experienced and my friend experienced and the cameramen i knew experienced and every friday there was a bigger gathering with the prayers. It was something one of the most peaceful thing you could do was go to a prayer gathering. And it was completely unexpected. It came as a complete shock, as well, because of the way the way it happened it was very systematic. Walls suddenly appeared and then just after the prayers happened, tires that were piled up behind the walls were set on fire. And the smoke from the fire formed a smoke screen . So the people could go in the buildings and fire directly on the protestors. I didnt know the cameramen, i met them afterwards on snippets of them on youtube. I found the details of the events which were completely hidden really, there was a complete blackout about what happened on the day. We see the fires as they started. Everything was peaceful, the fires start and then the shooting begins. There are more weapons than people in yemen, virtually everyone was armed but the protestors were not. They couldnt fire back other than throwing a few stones. The courage of those two photographers was amazing. They were targeted and they had people die all around them. Thats what was incredible. A very symbolic gesture by the yemeni protestors, they knew they wouldnt get credibility from the rest of the mil public that wasnt demonstrating. From the outside world they wanted to basically show that they were winning to ask for solak to stop down in 2011 without using the means which and the methods that theyre so used to using. Which is you know use of weapons and warfare and violence. And because they knew that their image was tainted, internationally, you know by being associated with terrorism , and inside, you know, whatnot. They wanted to move away from those stereotypes and really show the world that they could go out and demonstrate without the use of weapons. So it was a conscious decision they made. And even if they had the weapons i dont think they would have retaliated with force. There are scenes where the gun fire sort of rained down on them. Men were actually taking off their shirts and in front of the weapons defying the shooters. As you go through this you also tell just terrible images, just such sadness. Kids shot, one lost his eyes. Did this help topple yemens long time president. This was definitely the moment that really spurred a lot of people to the square. And it was a turning point for sure. I wouldnt say that it was the defining moment, was the moment that made him step down, it too many you know almost a year for that to actually happen. Ministers resigned and you know hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the square, so the crowds multiplied. They were tenfold what they were benefit. Suddenly, people had a responsibility towards their fellow citizens. They realized just how far the government was willing to go in order to thwart them and remain in power. I guess that was the wakeup power that yemen needed. But salla was almost assassinated a year before. He is still in yemen in fact he or his son may run for president. So in the end, was anybody really held accountable . Did the protest really accomplish anything . No, it really didnt accomplish anything, it was broken by the counsel giving him immuneacy for being tried. The details about the people they captured, where they are being held and whether they are being tried or not, all the information around the case and surrounding the case is very vague. Surrounding the victims and their rights and people assassinated, there has been a lot of silencing about the case. The fact that a dictator was able to stay after a tragedy like this, who knows, he may have power once again. Its a very powerful film, karama has no walls. It will be available on itunes on tuesday.
