kitted out with protection from the salt spray and the sunshine, ida takes command. the amount of dogs you see now when people go out paddle boarding and everything on the coast, all the dogs are chilling on the front of the paddle boards. they love it. she will whip around i to the side of the boat in which that scent is coming from. i that can be up to a mile away that she can smell that. - and it is interesting because remember when sir david did blue planet and everyone was talking about plastic bags in the ocean and it was the most important thing that year, do you think oceans have become less important as we now focus on the climate change bit of the problem? it all adds into the bigger picture. you know, the oceans are huge carbon sinks themselves, so everything is intertwined. what i am so pleased about is one of the finalists for the earthshot prize, in fact, two of them, one of them is about regrowing coral, which is an incredible achievement and the other one is about prote
year s cute polar bear rolling down in the snow moment because it is a dog on a life jacket, basically wearing sunglasses. yes. diving into the sea, looking for whale poo. that is a new thing for newscast. the best way to understand - what is happening inside of a whale is to look at what comes out. that means studying - killer whale poop, or scat. take the evidence where you can find it, don t you? she says killer whale poop. well, she s american. right, here is the cute dog. he s in his life jacket. ..by using our scat detection dog ida on the front of the boat - to help us find those samples. such cool sunglasses, they will definitely catch on. it is a dog in. it looks more like a ski mask, doesn t it? it does, doesn t it? kitted out with protection from the salt spray and the sunshine, iba takes command. the amount of dogs you see now when people go out paddle boarding and everything on the coast, all the dogs are chilling on the front of the paddle boards. they love it.
and i think a lot of what he s talking about, if you read the report, many of the things are routine for a 40-year-old building that exists very close to the ocean where there s salt spray and corrosive environments. i don t think those were things that caused the building to fail. you know, if you go through a procedure as a forensic person, you ll first look at the design to make sure there weren t any mistakes made and then you ll look to see the building was constructed based on the design and the materials were appropriate. so people will take samples of the materials to make sure they were the strength they needed to be. and then you look to see whether there s any unexpected loads that might have happened or some sudden damage. and then the last thing is just deterioration over time. which i think is a little bit of what we re seeing in addition to the information about subsiding under the building. i will say almost all failures of structures and this one is tragic and hugely u
indicated there were some issues that needed to be addressed. being in a marine environment right on the coast, the building is subjected to a lot of sea salt exposure from salt spray or from salt air. so if you do have some cracking, this allows the corrosive air and salt to get into the components and to the reinforcing bars of the structural elements. so if you have enough deterioration of the reinforcing bars that causes spotting of the concrete, which is basically pieces of concrete flaking off, it results in a reduced section of that structural element then in turn it reduces the capacity of it and once the capacity falls below the applied loads on it, it can lead to the failure like we ve seen. ashley: as far as the elements down there, it s hot and humid and on top of everything else, it s been raining. how is that going to hamper these efforts to try and recover
it is common for buildings along the beach to have concrete restoration because of the salt spray, you can t see, hardly enfeel but it s there, unless there happens to be a storm, migrates through the concord and can hit the rebar, the steel inside which is what holds the structural integrity together of a building. so once they get through what they re dealing with now, search and recovery, then they will eventually be able to look at the pieces and see if they find in the forensic research of what actually happened by analyzing the debris. i might also note one of the things that may seem complicated by seeing this equipment right now taking out parts and parts that are falling, and et cetera, what they re attempting to do from my conversation with the miami-dade fire department is, they re attempting to secure the possibility of this actually falling on its own, what remains there falling on its own, and so it seems counter intuitive having something come crashing down if it comes c
