Gadhafi military and the gadhafi forces being a learning enemy, that they are learning -- theyve adapted their tactics. the same cannot be said for the opposition forces. they do not seem to be a learning force. >> reporter: no, no, not at all. in fact, they seem to be learning almost nothing. certainly compared to the gadhafi forces who have changed their tactics completely. initially they were using tanks and heavy weaponry. now theyre running around in the desert in pickup trucks, almost indi...

That have piping and electric wiring and that kind of thing. these are the tunnels we are speak about. these are filled with water. they have been dumping water in to cool out the reactor core and then you have the radioactive water already in there. some of that water, you know, if they cant transport is out of there, they have a hard time doing that. some of that assumingly has been drifting and pooling in these tunnels. like all substructure type of tunnels they need some sort of draining in ...

Melting down, theres seven pools of spent fuel in risk of draining and catching on fire or melting down themselves. weve never seen anything like this. it is way passed three mile island and were headed into chernobyl territory. the best case is theyre contained and kept in the concrete boxes. the worst case is that the molten lava breaches the walls and spills out spreading radioactivity for hundreds of square kilometers. but remember, this is a japanese radiation problem. this radiation is not...

Have survived. but if you look carefully, the water has flooded the first story, maybe the second story as well. and the wooden homes have been completely washed away. leaving just the foundation. so we really wonder what happened to the people inside from what we see now, it doesnt look like the water level is becoming lower. if it had been flooding due to a tsunami, the water will be moving out. or draining out of the small water channel, but there is no movement of the water. >> shepard: this...
