reporter: any words for the family members of the missing? translator: i m sorry. i m at a loss for words. emma walker joins me back in the studio today for more on this. so before we get updates bore the texts we were talking about yesterday, let s get to the criticism. a lot has been made. appropriately so on the lifeboats. right? emergency situation that there were 46 or so lifeboats according to our affiliate over there, one was used and so there has been a lot of quick lot of critical lobs between local media and the government. there has been a lot of criticism coming from families but we are also seeing the media weigh in, local media. now we have the leading south korean newspaper basically blasting the government and its response to the title of the editorial that came out today is ferry tragedy could have been avoided. one of the things that about the editorial points out is that the government failed to get an accurate tally of the missing. and this article i
have something better to work with than you and i do? is that why it s hard for us to figure it out. i m so glad you said a layperson sees clouds and blobs. i see only clouds and blobs. and i ve been doing this for 27 years. they have other filters they re looking at. this is the visual spectrum, but there are so many other spectrums to focus on. they also know the exact color that plane was painted. they can look for and focus only on that color. think about this, turn on the lights in your room and everything looks normal. then you turn on the black light you can get from spencer s back in the day, and everything looks different. they re putting different filters on these lenses to see things you and i can t see. i m not optimistic about that, there are plenty of others optimistic about that, right? we ll talk about this polar or r orbiting satellite and how it works in a moment. i want to bring in bob too. bob, with your background,
these things. and, again, another image to show, the comet coming towards the sun and, again, in the time lapse photography you can see the blobs and that, again, is possibly the nucleus of the comet. i can show you again, another movie, the comet coming in towards the sun and, remember, the closer it comes, it begins to warm up. and it s all the gases being released that creates the incredible trail that goes on behind the comet and as i say the scientists are fairly convinced it has indeed come out the other side and we can look forward to see what sort of spectacle we have from there comet. not visible toward every part of the world. toward the southern hemisphere, never going to see it, december before the hours of dawn in the midlatitudes and december throughout the early hours before dawn and, again, after sunset. and if you re in the midreally high latitudes, it will be late december, and it will be all night long so we can just wait and see exactly what we are going to be able

to go live and effectively explode on the launch pad. reporter: todd park, appearing today with other government technology experts at the hearing which more than once devolved into partisan sniping. i wasn t insulting your i take it as an insult. park, while taking his lobs for the website s poor performance revealed the number of users it can currently take on at once. the system has been comfortably handling at present about 20 to 25,000 current users. reporter: great, except that s only about half its intended capacity. a month and a half after the launch, after all the assurances that the white house s top people working on it right now, how can they ever meet the self-imposed deadline which president obama restated just a week ago? we are working overtime to get this fixed and the website is already better than it was at the beginning of october and by the end of this month, we anticipate that it is going to be working the way it is
