according to him. the company should have alerted people sooner. it doesn t sound like that would have made any difference in this case. would it? except that it would have ended the search sooner. might not have ended the search sooner. it would have been responsible. as a person that teaches people about rescue and what to do, the minute you have to have protocol. protocol could be if we re not back in 20 minutes, i can t get my diver back, it s been ten minutes, i m calling for a bigger backup system. it s not that we could have done anything faster. but might not have found this debris any sooner. it s professional protocol as far as i m concerned and how i m going to train people, how the military works, how the scientific world works. there was no plan as far as i m concerned. martha: michael i have to leave you now. martha: if you could comment
was a dangerous mission that could result in death or injury. that is well understood. we were versed in how this operated with various protocols but there is a limit it is not a safe operation and inherently and that is part of research and development and exploration that is part and parcel with the wright brothers crashed on the first flight they would have crashed they had no backup system and stockton rushes a visionary who is trying to democratize to open the ocean and that was not possible without risk i know there is a big controversy about wealthy people wanting this but that is how he funded the cutting edge technology to open up the depths of the ocean to allow us access to the elements to power the green economy. that s how he went about it. yes it would ve been nice if it was government-funded. this was a privately funded operation.
system actually was corrupted and when the backup system went into operation it was using the same data, so as a result it essentially was corrupted. so what we are talking about by least of way most recent media reports that it did involve human error. but i don t think that really addresses in a sense the larger issue regarding the technology, the updating of technology. gillian: it is an old system, more than 30 year s old, i was reading earlier this morning it s not slated to be updated for another 1 years, that sounds crazy but i don t know, maybe, in your universe this is sort of the norm? i think in many respects and world of aviation it s not unusual. you have airplanes that are flying that are 30, 40 year s old and issue becomes of updating, maintenance. true for air traffic control system. we have the most efficient, safest national air space system in the world and it doesn t mean
faa first noticed tuesday night. the notam database crashed because of that damaged file. and the file also impacted the backup system. the faa tried to reset, plugging in again, but the restart failed, triggering a nationwide ground stop for 90 minutes. all air traffic paralyzed, anderson, something we have not seen since the 9/11 attacks. another government official tells me the computer system was not slated to be updated by the faa for at least another six years. that caught the attention of transportation secretary pete buttigieg. the faa falls under the transportation department, remember. the source tells us the buttigieg is not happy with how this update was planned, and he wants that system that caused these cascading cancellations fixed fast so this does not happen again, anderson. does it seem like this was done on purpose, or was it accidental? the f, aa has ruled out a cyber attack here. we do not think it was caused on purpose. this seems like it was something
