more than we already do. this is what on amazon but my dog is brilliant, honestly. i have two dogs. one is stupid and one is brilliant. i think he has a sophistication of at least a two-three -year-old five that s interesting because two-three -year-olds are stupid. can i ask a question? you have human voices in your mind for your dogs? not hugh grant like his dog. what do they sound like? greg: wilfred brinley. tyrus, everyone assumes that it s a dog to talk but if you have read the bible like i have it s going to be a snake and it will make you do some scary [bleep] [laughter] okay. do you want me to talk about the talking snake in my ear?
your pet behind, and for so many people that did leave their pets behind, they came back to just devastation. not only were their homes destroyed, their communities destroyed, but their lost their pets. like so many other new orleans institutions, the local spca headquarters was destroyed in the storm. they quickly set up a temporary facility in an old coffee warehouse. helen hester came to help. that s where she first met chaz. he was brought in actually on my birthday in 2005, about three months after the storm. he was so frightened and undersocialized at that point, he didn t remember that humans were his friends, and the volunteers would come in and read to the animals, so they would get used to human voices again. and i d be reading, i would put my hand in the cage. and he d come over and start sniffing. and then you d feel that fur. it was like oh, he s soft. oh, those are soft ears. oh, wait. this is a nice dog. chaz was recovering, but
listened to, important in a transformative moment in their lives. i wanted to try something that turns documentary on its headnd said the purpose is not the final product heard by millions of people or whatever it is or seen by millions of people but giving the people the chance to do these interviews with loved ones. we set up a booth in grand central terminal. you can bring your dad. you sit for 40 minutes with the help of a facilitator. as we were talking about during the break, the microphone gives you the license to say things, to ask things that just don t normally get to ask. you have this very intense 40-minute conversation and at the end you keep a copy and another one goes to the library of congress so your great, great grandchildren can get to know your grandma through her voice and story. we ve done 60,000 so far. largest collection of human voices ever gathered this. amazing collection. i ve got to ask you. as i was interviewing my own uncles and aunts, they do not like
is talking and you re better at explaining it. well, we ve got the pinger to try to locate the most valuable piece of evidence that we have with the most information. both the cockpit voice recorder and the data recorder. as far as the voice recorder, we can certainly determine who is speaking because there are four discreet channels. one for the pilot, one for the co-pilot, one for the cockpit area microphone which picks up all of the sounds within the cockpit. whether they re human voices or engine sounds, alerts, alarms, anything that can be heard in the cockpit. and the fourth one is generally the intercom system. you said through all of that you can tell if the plane is operating properly, normally and he ll tell us how he can distinguish that by using sound coming up right after this break. ap me in a rate. that s correct.
time for longer haul flights will be increased after this crash. well, you know, alex, that s a speculation that we really need we need to go a long way before we start talking about the duration of recorders. the bottom line is if you have two hour was recording and no human voices, then you reach certain consequences. we have to remember, though, that this aircraft was headed to the northeast when the communications were discontinued by both the acars and the radio communication. it was headed northeast. and now we re looking at an aircraft that is southerly. and i think greg is exactly right. the consequences of an on-board debilitating fire would negate the possibility of them being incapacitated that way. so either they were intentionally flying it down there, or somebody was intelligenceally flying it down there, or something happened at some point in time to
