three young women from china were killed. deborah hersman headed up the ntsb investigation. i don t like to characterize it as assigning blame. generally you can t blame an accident on one single factor. it has the got to be a system of safety to help protect, not just the pilots, but also the passengers from events like this occurring. back in december, during the ntsb hearings, asiana, blamed the plane s maker boeing for design flaws. boeing, in turn, blamed the pilots for lack of training and for not aborting the landing. a new high tech tool brought into the search for a missing fire fighter in the southern california mountains. mike herdman vanished a week ago chasing his dog during a backpacking trip. now a homeland security team is using drones hoping to pinpoint his exact location in the rugged terrain. one of the major things that these things are going to be used for i think in the public sector is search-and-rescue. this will definitely raise the bar. searchers are
backup accidents cause more than 200 deaths and 15,000 injuries every single year. and they often include children and the elderly. new numbers out this morning from the site of the deadly mudslide in washington state. workers have found several more bodies. 24 people are known to have died although the coroner has just identified 18 of them. another decline in the number of missing, now down to just 22. the governor has asked for federal aid to offset the losses now totaling $10 million. and now to the blame game in last summer s deadly plane crash in san francisco. new documents just released by federal investigators, asiana airlines acknowledged pilot error played a role but the south korean carrier also blamed boeing saying the jetliner had design flaws in maintaining speed. they say the pilots should have monitored speed. an attorney for several crash victims agrees, the pilot should have been monitoring the speed. the question s why did the crew allow the situation to deter
quality is you can t break. and if you break, it has to be fixed forever, not be a constant problem, which in the past happened all the time, which meant design flaws. so they had been working on this for sometime before the bottom fell out of the market. right. so it sort of got put on hold in people s minds. if you understand what i mean. i do. we have come a long, long, long way. let s look at the big three, right? detroit, general motors, first of all. i mean, you ve got the new you know, you ve got some amazing quality in terms of cars coming out of general motors, in places where they couldn t compete before. what stands out to you for gm? absolutely. there s a couple of cool cars. i like the cruz diesel. the cruz diesel, because it s really fun. it s fun for a small car. and it seems pretty good. the basic car is maybe having a little a fuel little problems. but at the top of the food chain is always trucks, though. always trucks. that s the bread and butter.
fukushima happened. and here is why that is important. this is what the reactors at fukushima looked like before they melted down. does that look familiar at all? yes, it is exactly the same design as the vermont yankee nuclear plant. both plants were made using the exact same ge nuclear reactors. they were designed and built way back in the 1970s. after fukushima happened, lots of attention was paid to potential design flaws in the specific reactor. that is in part what ramped up the pressure in vermont to get vermont yankee shut down. well, now it will be shut down next year. and once it is shut down for good that means there will only be 22 more reactors at plants across the united states using the exact same design and reactor used at fukushima. fukushima, which is still an ongoing nuclear disaster, two and a half years later. for nuclear opponents in this country, it is now one down, 22
