It can go both ways. we done computer modelling at making every vote count and at princeton university the computer modelling suggests the popular vote 3 percentage points theres a one in three chance it could go wrong or go either way. think back to 2004, even though george w. bush won re-election by millions of votes. john kerry could have turned that differently. that creates both a risk to both parties and it also creates a security risk nationally for us as a nation. >> dr. wong, im glad yo...

Her piece on the war over democracy over war versus math and how obama aides are trying to turn it out, what did you find? >> i find the tools exist. the computer modelling is sophisticated enough for whoever controls the redistricting to be extremely precise in targeting how they distribute voters. if you are a legislature that wants to do this in a way that benefits your party significantly over the other party, you can do that. then the question is will courts step in? the supreme court is he...

Two or three less. so the whole basis for the alarmism is not true. its based on flawed computer modelling. >> thats completely wrong. >> and you dont vote on that. >> say what you will, but you have it absolutely wrong. what happened to that heat, hes cherry picking a certain model. the heat ended up in the ocean. this is not controversial in mainstream science, everybody. so lets -- really i encourage everyone to look at the facts. weve got an extraordinary situation here in the united states ...

Of the agreement that pertain to the enrichment activities but actually the easier thing to hide in chief would be the military applications, so computer modelling of a nuclear explosion, some of the weapons research that is precluded by this agreement, would we really have eyes on that kind of research and development activities if it takes place at the military site? so thats a key question. i think the question really falls in three buckets the one you mentioned, which is how enforcible is th...

Perhaps even the track similar to like you see in plane investigations where they piece together the plane in order to get more answers? would that happen here? >> i think what they will probably use is computer modeling both in aircraft investigations trains bridge you know failure, multiple fatality traffic accidents, they use computer modelling to reconstruct and i think probably do that here. the up fortunate thing is the only the persons in the cab of that train will know what hit it -- not...

Unknowns, internal bulk heads and tanks may have imploded on the way down. you dont know if you can rely on the buoyancy of the tanks when you go to put air in them, for instance. good salvage companies typically have a plan a, b, and c, so that when they run into the unknown or more information becomes available through the project they can then alter and be flexible to adjust with the realities. >> and dave davidson, we just had the piece from gary tuchman, and it is not just as simple as hook...

Available through the project they can then alter and be flexible to adjust with the realities. >> and dave davidson, we just had the piece from gary tuchman, and it is not just as simple as hooking up a crane, is it? >> oh, no, you have to have a lot of different salvage techniques, there is possibly computer modelling. you have to make a plan so you know exactly how you will do the salvage before you do it. and then it is not hooking a crane up. you may remove weight, that is one way you can u...

Scenario. jenna: that was janice dean, the first meteorologist to predict the monster storm that hurricane sandy would turn out to be and she made the call right here on "happening now." just five days before the storm made landfall exactly one year ago today. thats how much notice we had. bringing with it, she had torrential flooding and hurricane force winds. youve seen the damage, youve seen the footage. what was it about sandy that made it so dangerous? why has this years hurricane season be...
