Lets go outfront. And good evening. Im erin burnett. The Breaking News, it is a race against time this hour. Rescuers in florida desperately searching for nearly 100 people still unaccounted for after a condo high rise just collapsed this morning. New video that we just got moments ago here shows a frantic effort under way by rescuers. This video is in the flooded basement of that building. The Building Collapsed, you see those collapse marks, and in that basement, people still desperately searc...

A diagram in the paper — showing interactions in terms of engineering schematics — is unlike any description of the flagellum that I’ve seen.

Computer scientist and engineer Dean Schulz has published two papers in the journal BIO-Complexity that describe his top-down and bottom-up analyses of the bacterial flagellum (here, here). He recently published his final paper in the series, "An...

Dean Schulz investigated the design of the flagellum with a method that could be described as groundbreaking.

What is it that government shouldnt do? >> so four things that should happen now. first is the fed. they continue to inject $120 billion into the economy every single month. that made sense at the height of the emergency. it doesnt make sense now. so they should ease off the pedal to the metal monetary stimulus. two is weve got to get productivity back up. that involves infrastructure. that involves human investments. three, weve got to look very seriously at excess financial risk, because whats...

This rocket with no training and not have to press any buttons, go 357 miles above earth, rotate, go 15 times around earth, come back down, splash down in the atlantic and they control everything from california. thats the technology were watching right now. >> thats a no for me, dawg. i would root you on, cal, to do that. >> pass. >> from an engine -- theres something intriguing theoretically. from an engineering perspective, so the problem, right, to getting to something like routine civilian ...

These four astronauts are now writing. in this capsule has been to the international space station, right now spacex is your only way on or off the international space station. they are the main contractor for nasa. that is why we are here at cape canaveral, nobody does it better than they, do and they are showing it today with again what is a automated system. so in theory, the way that this is going to work is that hopefully, you and i are going to get on this rocket with no training. and not ...

Unimaginable to anybody, anybody. it may be to you from an engineering perspective. thats my question, how concerned are you that this could happen to another building nearby that may be in the same, you know, the same sand? >> you know what, that depends on what the outcome of the investigation is. lets say, for example, if the outcome of the investigation is that its because of the settlement, say that might have caused the foundation, then you need to take a look at the other similar building...

Already heard reports that some divers had to turn around because the flow is so heavy coming through the passage ways. stopping that level of water may be all but impossible. another instructor i work with puts it best, dont view it as water like in your swimming pool. look outside and imagine all the rain is basketballs and when you suddenly think about it, it is a huge volume. and now you have to add in eight pounds of weight for every gallon of water. so it is a monstrous thing to try to sto...
