captures hundreds of parameters of data, configuration of the plane, engine performance, heading, altitude how was the plane performing. how were the systems functioning. automaker all of that figures into what happened. this is a fly by wire plane. it is one of those planes that broke the mold if you will when airliners, specifically airbus started to go to a more computerized way of flying with multiple redundancies to take out as much as possible the human factor that could lead to errors. it has been a phenomenal aircraft, with only a .14 fatality rating. .14 out of a million takeoffs experienced a fatality. it is an incredibly safe plane. this morning, we have many more questions than answers. we also know tom, was it december, forgive me that the air asia flight 8501 was an
joshua let me get to you first. you and i were speaking earlier in the program. the better the more technology and more computerized these planes are the better and safer for us. if you look at the safety record of aviation it s improved to the point where we have almost no safer place to be than on a commercial airline in the united states. people do things that are not necessarily in our best interest and can often make mistakes in terms of how they are prepared for a flight or well prepared for what specific situation they re in. do you agree with that? i did see some of the notes.
to divert flight after flight when its computers failed, saddling one of the world s busiest hubs. an hour ago, a spokesman told cnn they have ruled out a cyberattack. and they say it was a hiccup in their state-of-the-art computers. cnn aviation correspondent rene marsh joins us now. even if it wasn t a cyberattack, this does expose just how easily our way of managing airplanes in this computerized world can easily implode. you re absolutely right. it truly is a vulnerable that makes a lot of people uncomfortable. if you re flying through london, one thing is certain today, you can expect delays for hours to come. about 100 flights in and out of heathrow, a major international hub, canceled. and even more delays. and then there s the ripple effect. it s all because of this computer failure, a real-life demonstration of just how a
federal level. we re literally talking about hundred of thousands of people who have signed up. because the computer systems at the states and federal levels, don t work properly, they have a gap between the time they signed up and time they bill: there is not a lot of coverage frankly given to this. you re making the case this is the tip of the iceberg. the tip of the iceberg of what, karl? let s goly a litany of some of the problems. there is a problem how people s subsidies are calculated. some people are eligible to get assistance from the government in paying their premiums. but the federal government has problems calculating the subsidies properly. it is not all computerized and get done electronically. there is huge, billion dollar contract to verify the information individually. and as a result, people are signing up, thinking they re getting a certain level of subsidy and yet at the end of the day, when the process end weeks later or months later, they may find out they ei
only 3% is killing. interesting. you actually also once told me that a tumor that is starting to grow, you can actually catch a tumor before it gross because it s like a construction site. and that the blood vessels have to build roads towards the site before a tumor can actually grow. so you can actually read the body, read with this doppler and see where there might it be problems. as well, you also said that you can read whether a tumor is benign or malignant by that same indication. if there are blood vessels flowing to it, that s why you re talking about the flow of blood? exactly. let me rephrase that. yes, please. you can see if the tumor is aggressive or not. okay. for instance, i had a fellow in today, i said aid the mri shows something that he brought into me. i did my sonogram scan which is a 3-d specialized scan. it only takes five minutes because it s computerized.
