Defense attorneys for a phoenix woman accused of murdering her three children help prosecutors dont seek the death penalty. Octavia rogers appeared in court for a pretrial conference earlier today. Mark liberman was there. Reporter a very emotional morning for both Octavia Rogers and her family. She is accused of stabbing her three Young Children to death. And dismembering their bodies. I was in the courtroom this morning as she began to sob uncontrollably before walking out of that ram. Her attorneys had previously pled not guilty to firstdegree murder in the deaths of her 8, 5 and 2yearold sons. Now, they are also hoping she is not sentenced to death if she is found guilty. Partially dismembered several months ago. Some family members have called her a devoted mother. Octavias mother says she saw no sign she was tr
July 27th, the journey was ended. They were home again. [ applause ] ahead lay three weeks of isolation, medical tests and mission debriefings. Then visits to major cities of america and abroad. The details of their unique mission would be relived and reremembered so others might learn what they had learned and that future travellers in space might build upon their experience. The rock and soil samples brought back would be examined and analyzed by scientists in many lands. They would reveal new insights in to the origin and age and the composition of the moon. And perhaps new knowledge of the earth as well. Already experiments left on the moon were sending back revealing new information. The mission was successfully completed. The eagle had landed the first men on the moon and columbia had returned them safely to the earth. Whatever mans journey tomorrow across the ocean of universe history will remind him that apollo 11 was mankinds First Encounter with a new world. Up next on Americ
Welcomed sight. Later the three men would share their reflections on this adventure with the world. I believe that from the early space flight we demonstrated potential to carry out this type of a mission and, again, it was a matter of time before this was accomplished. Its a technical triumph for this country to said what it was going to do a number of years ago and then by golly do it. The relative ease which we were able to carry out our mission which, of course, came after a very efficient and logical sequence of flights, i think this demonstrated that we were certainly on the right track when we took this commitment to go to the moon. I just see it as a beginning, a beginning of a new age. Once again the bright blue planet of earth rises over the lunar horizon. For those who had witnessed mans landing in the sea of tranquillity the moon would never again appear quite the same. [ sirens ] july 24th, dawn in the pacific.

Begin construction. Nine a contract awarded in 1931, a combine of six Major Construction firms. Men and machines went to work to build this dam of unprecedented size. This modern Civil Engineering wonder. Reclamation engineers rushed to completion specifications, and design drawings. Crews at the dam site completed their surveys and investigations. Sender of mans determination to conquer the colorado reverberated between the sheer cliffs of black canyon as construction got underway. The first major task was to divert the river around the dam site. To do this, for tunnels, two on each side, were drilled through the canyon walls. Diameter, they averaged 4000 feet in length. Holes were packed with dynamite and blasted. After each explosion, shovels and trucks entered the tunnels, marked out the shattered rock, and dumped it in nearby gorges. Explosions rocked the camera the canyon for two years before the placement of concrete began. Acrobatic workman called high scalers, prepared the can
Acrobatic workmen called high scalers prepared the canyon walls for each blast. Suspended on ropes, they drilled holes in the rock and loaded them with dynamite. After each explosion, these daredevils swarmed over the cliffs, prying loose rock and learing the walls of debris. In november 1932, the Colorado River was diverted. Under control for the first time in its history, the river flowed around and past the site. Men in trucks dumped earth and embankment across the canyon below the tunnel openings, forcing the river from its ageold bend through the huge diversion tubes. A second sandert rock dam was thrown across the river downstream, keeping water from backing into the foundation area. Isolated and protected from the river by the two dams, the site as pumped dry. Men and machines dug below the river level to reach bedrock for the dams foundation, excavating over two million cubic yards of earth, rock, and sand. As cleanup exposed the ancient bed of the Colorado River, geologists re
