I saw a couple air force running around here yesterday. The fact that you are here and you are in San Francisco and you do this every year, it says a lot. Because we lack at look at this as a good week. We have a great working relationship and after being there and seeing that its not a Good Relationship and people get really, really tense when the guys in green show up, it makes me appreciate what we have all the more. Theres one other thing i really appreciate, by the way, and ill direct this to general speese being the trainer that he is, i got a whole new appreciation for muzzle discipline back there. I appreciate the fact that we drill that into our personnel that dont point anything you dont want to shoot at. Because theres one point i was actually in our little van behind a truckload of soldiers and there were a lot of automatic weapons, everybody with fingers on the triggers and muzzles going everywhere and im, look, can we just back off a little bit . Lets not tailgate quite s
Meeting close to 500 people, 150 was because of the tsunami, 350 because of the earthquake. That is why, i show you why later. In certain areas over there just in 47 people died at once because they are on an island 100 meters off the coast and when the first wave came in, the island was completely flooded. People tried to escape so they cant so they climb into the trees and when the navy get in there just about at the top of the trees. Thats what we found. The cost was close to 30 billion u. S. Dollars. How we organize, well, we have something similar that you have. We have the National Emergency office under the internal affair minister and they have offices in the different counties, in the different places in chile this Emergency Office request aid directly to the joint chief of staff and joint chief of staff to the army, navy or air force and then we move the pieces to put the aid where they need it. The scenario, the beginning when we face this was the same thing we are talking a
Slightly the configuration, it has an effect in the axis rotation of the globe. It moved 8 centimeters north pole to the east and that means rotation increased 1. 26 millions of seconds so you work less because of chili right now, but its an impact you have to take into account that happened because of that earthquake. Here i can show you a set of photographs of the destruction in the coastal villages, most of them was because of the tsunami. The waves came in there and destroy everything. It goes about 300 meters inland, so nothing was safe. In the port activities, the containers, its impressive derelict, you have it take that into account in places where you put containers in there because it was a big problem. And infrastructure also have some things was destroyed. Bridges, airport. Thats in santiago, absolutely far away from where the epicenter was. In terms of people who was meeting close to 500 people, 150 was because of the tsunami, 350 because of the earthquake. That is why, i
Say, if theres one guy in this room that is the unsung hero of fleet week, its lewis. He doesnt get a lot of recognition but he spends 16 hours a day this time of year working on fleet week and we went to him applause when we went to him with this admittedly somewhat crazy idea, we said, we want to partner with you and by that i mean i want you it raise some money. And he didnt even blink. He said, well, how much do you need and we calculated it out. Really in the world of corporate america, not that much. In the world of government, even less. And he said, yeah, we can do that. Let me make some phone calls. A couple of days later, he said, all right, i got a couple commitments. Lets put a team together. It was myself, diana, lewis, val valesky, im sorry, its been a long week already and some people from public works. We want a couple engineers, im an old medic, diana is really the logistics master and i figure if were going to go someplace where thins might go awry, i wanted someone l
It is going to dig south just a little bit. Over the north for today, we will have the slight possibility of a few scattered showers over the north bay. If it i get in a little bit closer, you can see how the clouds have taken over the north way. Sliding over the south bay and we have partly sunny skies and because of it. Not as cool this morning. But the possibility of rain is going to stick around for the next day or two. You can see the line is 90 miles to the north. It is the north bay that we will see the possibility of maybe a few sprinkles today. The rest of us not as warm. We will have a look at the temperatures and the how much i expect to look at it coming up. Call for help for the family of a los angeles dodge ares fan stabbed to death in San Francisco.
