Sense for these chemical weapons and for now, that is the scientific solution that had to be invented, because it's never been done before. but the u.s. department of defense has now rolled out a new mobile system to destroy chemical weapons in bulk, on a ship, roiling out on the open ocean. >> this team's effort didn't start today. it started about a year ago. there was a recognition that something was going to happen in syria, in all likelihood, that would require us to do something with those chemical materials that were known to be there. we had no idea what senario it would be, that would...

Firsthand look at this system. it's called the field deployable system. the system neutralizes chemical agents by mixing them with water, hot water and other chemical agents. you can see them stored here in these tanks. after mixing them in the system, they then get heated, and that turns them into compounds that can no longer be used as weapons. the liquid waste, the by-products of the process are then pumped into interim holding tanks for cooling, and eventually disposal by the same means that industrial waste is disposed of. this system, which, again, has been invented for this process to b...

Twice that time to account for bad weather, during which time they will stop the process if they need to. this is brand-new technology. this is technology that has been used on land here in the u.s. to destroy chemical weapons, but it has never been tested at sea. it has never been used at sea. it is unclear, precisely, as to what we should expect, but this is a brand, brand-new thing. joining us now to help us understand is darrel kimball. he's executive director of the arms control association, which is a national nonpartisan group, supporting arms control policies and programs. mr. kimball,...

Check this out. this tape is paused right now, but what you're looking at off in the distance there, right underneath the big plume of smoke, that's a row of rail cars. can you make that out? see that? that little bumpy line right there. those cars ran off the tracks, caught fire, and then this happened. >> there it goes. >> there it goes. >> wow. that rather armageddon-like mushroom cloud lit up the sky above north dakota, just a couple of days ago, earlier this week. and the reason that a train derailment turned into what looked like the end of the world is because that mile-wrong train whic...
