planetary defense always that is has a nice ring to it, especially talking about this planet, which they are. that s a new mission that is designed as the first ever test flight into space with the goal and operational capacity to try to deflect an asteroid that might hit us. the spacecraft can smash into an asteroid at 15,000 miles an hour and can do it as soon as next year. now, the asteroid it will hit in this example is not, i repeat, not a threat to us here on earth. if it were, it might have been higher in the program tonight. the mission, though, sounds familiar to just about anyone who has seen armageddon . even if the asteroid itself hits the water, it s still hitting land and flash boil millions of gallons of sea water. half the population will be incinerated by the heat blast and the rest will freeze to death. it s unbelievable. actually, this is as real as
and i think the satellite technology showed there was a heat blast on this airplane. all those indicators seem to point towards a bomb. all right. so you oversee the department of homeland security. you oversee the tsa. what should they be doing right now based on if in fact this was a bomb that was planted on this commercial airliner? i talked to secretary johnson. he s looking at tsa procedures particularly overseas. and i think it s important to tell the american people that any flight coming outside the united states, a direct flight into the u.s. would go through a more heightened screening procedure than what s in egypt. i think what they are looking at doing is maybe heightening the screening at some of these more hot spots across the world. but you have to have cooperation with the host country to do that. now, having said that you can have the best screening vetting procedures in the world, but if you have an inside job, inside operator who can smuggle something like this
indicate targeting or accident. on the technical side analysis includes a sensory capability available to only a handful of nations including u.s., china and russia. these satellites with sensors show a surge or spike in activity when a heat blast is detected, indicating a missile launch and impact. fox news learning deliberations took place and we re told ntsb and fbi are in the mix in an advisory role of the investigation. there are going to be unique characteristics of the explosives there will be residue around impact. you re going to look for parts of the missle. they don t vaporize like people think. the flight manifest is going
