united states and around the world, you go through metal detectors, fans, tickets have bar codes, there s more security when you go into a sporting event than there is going into a shopping mall or a movie theater. i think that makes a lot of sense. it goes back to the 1972 olympics where the 11 israeli coaches and athletes were killed. from that moment on, the olympics had stringent security. that was a good 20 to 30 years before most stadiums did. a marathon, 26 miles, 385 yards, how in the world you cannot guarantee that all that length that entire distance in a city will be safe. no, you can t. sports obviously hugely competitive. there s been really touching moments today. we saw the yankees paying tribute to the red sox, and the chicago tribune to all the boston teams, a very special tribute there in the paper.
i want to bring and david mackenzie with the family of the third victim of the bombing. what s been the reaction in china because people have been looking up on that as an attack on america. 96 different nationalities running in the race. indeed, one of the three dead turned out to be chinese. we know a lot about those first few victims. the third victim, very few details at all. we have learned it is a chinese national, they are not releasing the name out of respect for the family. what we know is she was a student at boston university. studying math and statistics. at the graduate level. she went there with three france to the finish line to enjoy the spectacle of the finish of the boston marathon. right as this explosion happened. one of her friends was badly injured.
medical care much more quickly. you know, i was at brigham women s hospital, one of the larger trauma hospitals in the area, 15 minutes of the explosion, not of the alert, they started getting their first patients. within 60 minutes, that golden hour, all the patients that were going to come did arrive. so it happened just like it should. we ve heard a lot about what happened in the field, people performing these really selfless brave acts to try and save people s lives. but when they got to the hospital, a whole process informs motion, operating rooms opened up, er beds, people called in to provide additional resources. i talked to the chair of the emergency department, at the hospital, and asked him to talk about what things looked like when patients arrived. listen to what he said. so we would have a team here,
the guys waiting when they got there. one of the women you re about to meet was at the race, volunteering her time. she s an er emergency room resident. i asked them what things have been like today a full day later. take a listen. we were improvising a lot, specially, town kit, dealt belts, anything you could find. there was a waiting period where we were waiting for more patients to get there until we got word this was it, we had done our job. that was the point where i think i started feeling it. i didn t get a chance to really consider the humanity, and the human cost of what happened. it was not until everything died down and went home, and i thought about what this meant, not only did a child die and adults die and people lose limbs, but there s a sense of innocence that was lost yesterday.
and all of those things, someone who is fairly mechanical can do this. a couple of days training. it is not going to help out all but i think once you ve globally compare all of the information and start running algorithms, we are a lot better off today than we were two years ago. certainly. drew griffin, you have a pressure cooker of the type we believe may have been used. obviously popular devices. what significance is it that pressure cooker was used, the thing? i ll hold this up. if we don t know what type of pressure cooker was involved but i want to show people the size and what these look like in case they are not familiar and how easy and simple this is. you put it in any old backpack and walk around with it and you would never know someone is carrying a pressure cooker inside of a backpack. if i was holding this.
