Watching the nichols and dimes right now. just worried about peoples lives. but it seems like you were writing a flurry of letters not just to fema but sort of an e-mail writing tick to all sorts of people trying to sound the alarms. you wrote to the ftc, you wrote to noaa because youre worried about what? hurricane hunters? >> indeed. weve got a single point failure in our g-4 that flies above the hurricane and proves the track accuracy by 15%. thats a single point failure. same thing with the ...

Data by the aircraft, critical data, like gps wind direction wind speed. and all that data gets scattered by the aircraft and we transmit it by satellite to the national hurricane center. it goes directly into the computer models that are forecasting the track. which everybody in the entire u.s. is now focusing on the track. so we are dropping 33 of the sondes on those missions in order to find the accuracy of the track. >> and in terms of what the storm is doing right now. >> the storm is actua...

Altitude hurricane hunter reconnaissance aircraft. this is the aircraft that flies across the top of the storm at 45,000 feet. and what we do, the key elements of our mission is that were releasing drop sons, which are the opposite of a weather balloon. instead of go up, they fall by parachute and transmit data back to the aircraft, critical data like pressure, temperature, gps, wind direction, wind speed. all that data gets gathered by the aircraft and we transmit it by satellite to the nationa...

Instance because of their accuracy. it is uncanny, the similarity of the models throughout the duration. you see the american overlaid on the european. the european favoring the westerly track. brings it over miami on sunday morning. the american model keeps it 30 to 40 miles off shore, precisely how matthew played out over florida. this is a category for if it does not interact with cuba on saturday. that is one of the most sobering analysis of in if it does not interact with the mountains ther...

Say with any sense of complete accuracy, but i do know that theyre moving at a very rapid pace, theyre reaching a point where its much more powerful that is no longer heiroshima level bomb, but hydrogen bomb, thermonuclear weapon capacity. the whole agenda now has to be telescoped in time frame so that we go to the negotiating table, that we get the chinese, the russians and others to impose crippling sanctions and then we try to negotiate quickly. because otherwise kim will get that capacity, a...

>> what sort of message do you have for all of us as we look at whats happening to the dot-com businesses and the stock market? >> dont invest in dot-coms. >> the internet opened up a lot of things for people. it made things easier for people and that didnt change. bubble or no bubble. >> with more than a billion web pages out there, millions of web sites out there on the internet, no wonder the most common activity on the web is still searching, trying to find the information youre looking for....

Effectively having the south take it over. i think k youve got to argue - >> is not really diplomatic as far as they are concerned. >> that is their problem, not ours. anyone that thinks more diplomacy with north korea or sanctions, whether against north korea or an effort to apply sanctions against china, is just giving north korea more time to increase the nuclear arsenal, increase ballistic missile capability, increase accuracy of its guidance systems and put us, south korea and japan and mor...

Missile. we dont know if they are able to fire that missile with the degree of accuracy. we dont know if it would be able to survive reswentry, and dont know if they have a hydrogen bomb. i dont think the hydrogen bomb really changes the political situation around it, doesnt change the policy a their capab destroy a significant part of an american city wouldnt change based on the science behind the weapon itself. theres a psychological element there, but it doesnt change the political aspect of ...

About that. some of their missile tests this spring have looked like they were highly successful. they know how to change the trajectory of their missiles. we dont know how accurate those missiles are, but if its equipped with a nuclear warhead accuracy only matters to some extent. you can destroy a city by attacking its outskirts. you dont need to have extreme precision and accuracy but, you know, theres some consideration that, for example, the missiles that over flew japan is an irbm. they th...

Diplomatic as far as theyre concerned. >> reporter: well thats their problem not ours because anybody who thinks that more diplomacy with north korea or sanctions whether against north korea or an effort to apply sanctions against china is just giving north korea more time to increase its nuclear arsenal beings increase its ballistic missle capability, increase the accuracy of its guidance systems and put us south korea and japan in more jeopardy. we have fooled around with north korea for 25 ye...
