families out because not because there s a dangerous situation now, but because they re concerned if there were to be a massive nuclear incident at the power plant, then of course everything would become very chaotic and they wouldn t be able to get out at all. so there s been a lot of that, crowding at train stations. the train service has been erratic at times because of confusion from the earthquake aftershocks, but there hasn t been a lot of in my limited experience, there has not been a lot of effect from the radiation here in tokyo. and in terms of the city government in tokyo did report elevated radiation levels, but levels not so high that they pose any immediate health risk. you describe people as feeling not distrusting of their government s assurances about radiation levels. do you have a sense, particularly with your scientific background, in how the fear of radiation, the fear
there are a lot of aftershocks. you feel an earthquake about twice a day here. but i don t think people are in any great panic. a lot of japanese people wear masks to start with because there are fears of germs, so maybe there s a few more wearing masks because of fear of radiation, but i think most people trust that the government is telling the truth, that the health danger from radiation here is minimal. a lot of foreigners left the country, particularly people that can get to other countries nearby in asia and get their families out, not because there s a dangerous situation now, but because they re concerned if there were to be a massive nuclear incident at the power plant, then of course everything would become very chaotic and they wouldn t be able to get out at all. so there s been a lot of that, crowding at train stations. the train service has been erratic at times because of confusion from the earthquake aftershocks, but there hasn t been a lot of in my limited experience, t
i don t think that there s not been some noticeable effect of anything coming to a halt. there are a lot of aftershocks. you feel an earthquake about twice a day here. but i don t think people are in any great panic. a lot of japanese people wear masks to start with because there are fears of germs, so maybe there s a few more wearing masks because of fear of radiation, but i think most people trust that the government is telling the truth, that the health danger from radiation here is minimal. a lot of foreigners left the country, particularly people that can get to other countries nearby in asia and get their families out, not because there s a dangerous situation now, but because they re concerned if there were to be a massive nuclear incident at the power plant, then of course everything would become very chaotic and they wouldn t be able to get out at all. so there s been a lot of that, crowding at train stations. the train service has been erratic at times because of confusion
where they need to get to if there are people trapped underneath. that s an issue if it happens at night. people are disoriented. we re seeing video of people wandering out of buildings, not knowing where to go. this happened about 3:30 in the morning. you have the factor of people not being able to see. power being out close to where the earthquake was centered and the capital in santiago. there are no phone lines and people will have difficulty reaching authorities and telling them where help is needed. that s the really difficult part of the early stages of this. to hear they re getting earthquake aftershocks, 6.9, that s very close to the strength of the earthquake that devastated haiti. that was a 7.0. to imagine feeling an aftershock that strong, you can imagine the fear people are feeling right now and just realizing what s happening and where the damage i
movie minority report a futuristic way of policing. well, police are always looking for innovative ways to fight crime and here s a new one that s fascinating. this really is cool. this particular technology helps cops in one city to predict where a crime could potentially happen next. abc s abby boudreau reports from santa cruz, california. reporter: we can predict the weather. and even a person s shopping habits. thank you. reporter: but what about predicting where a criminal might strike next? crime is not random. you can actually predict some of the things people will do. reporter: it s not exactly as futuristic as sci-fi thriller minority report where cops picked up criminals before they committed their crime. set up a perimeter. reporter: police in santa cruz, california, are getting closer to the sci-fi future using this algorithm. a complicated math equation similar to the one that predicts earthquake aftershocks to predict crime. the map is updated every
