An investigation after this, and you see the devastation from this bomb landing on these troops. thankfully no one was hurt or killed. apparently it happened because the air crew overhead that was dropping the bomb had the wrong gps coordinates somehow. the investigation determined that it was an accident. no one was held liable. no one was punished for it. it does happen, but rarely, and thankfully this time everyone was okay, but what a scene to see what happens when a 500 pound bomb lands on ...

Told the company to ground the drones because theyre illegal. lakemades president said he knew about the faas rules but thought he could get around them by not charging for airborne delivery. i dont think the charge is really what the faa is concerned about there. >> its a frozen lake. its not like its buzzing over your neighborhood -- well, maybe it is buzzing over your neighborhood on the way to the frozen lake, but im just impressed that those drones can lift -- that looks like a 12-pack of b...

John and diana? >> all right. thank you. and in the wake of that incident, a school district on new yorks long island is putting an extra layer of security in place. it centers on what officials call a panic alarm. a two-way communicator that sends gps coordinates to police in the event of an emergency. the alarms are available to any school district. each costs $150. a security expert says a deadly bus bombing in russia is likely the opening of a campaign by terrorists against next february...

Coordinates, gps coordinates, just like in your car. so they have to have a specific spot programmed in. if that artillery piece is moving around, theyre going to have to keep reprogramming the new location, the new location, and keep doing it. now, the military tells us they know very well how to do this. they keep satellites overhead. that is public knowledge. and they keep a very close watch on what the syrian regime is up to. but you know, theyre going to -- i mean, the more the days go on, ...

Warships aimed at a range of targets inside syria. you see them there. each ship has about 40 tomahawks missiles on board guided to targets by gps sat lied coordinato coordinates. they have to keep the satellites over syria plugging the coordina coordinates into the missiles ready to go when ordered. >> is there any concern this delay will help the assad regime? >> thats the question. yeah. as the satellites spay overhead and look for any moves of syrian military forces so they can keep track, g...

The country and any dispersal of forces around assad may be undertaken and they believe he is to avoid a possible u.s. attack. so they are talking a lot about being able to cope with all of this. but the real reality is we are not seeing any specifics. john? >> what does the delay mean for the u.s. warships that are in the med titerranean right now, e targets that may have been targeted this weekend will not be the targets ten days from now if congress approves of the measure. >> exactly. they m...

The presidents orders at this point. >> do you know how long from the time that execute order is given to actually missiles going out is? >> thats a really interesting question because you know, the tomahawk missiles are programmed with gps coordinates guided by the satellite to the very precise target they are intended to hit. thats why everybody talks about it as a precision weapon. some of them are already programmed. we believe some may be reprogrammed to the targets may be updated along the...

Their men, troops and equipment in the last several days dispersing it in advance of what they thought was planned u.s. attack. this will mean the u.s. military to be ready will have to keep targeting, retargeting, loading those missiles with new gps coordinates. not complicated. they know how to do it but its an intelligence challenge. theyll have to keep after this. make sure they know where all the targets are in syria so when the president calls, indeed theyre ready to go. and, most importan...
