that's because the airport is booming. and everybody's is investing in this year. looking behind me it's always been about peculiar i know this airport is a huge generate of work a huge amount of folks come there here and it's a big asset. not too many months ago we opened up terminal two and i & i've often said it feels like a first class lobby. johnny ask when i do the red eyes a lot of your goat to have those jogging art stations open
2:31 am
after 10 but that will mean more jobs. and i will say that this $4.1.10 year capital plan is yet again another strong strong demonstration of our airports thinking ahead. it's an airport that's on water so it continually has to update itself and deal with seawall rise sea level rise. it has to build new facilities. the airport runways have to be invested in and the buildings themselves whether we get a new control tower oreo do the old terminal it looks like all
2:32 am
terminals feel the same way. john did a fabulous job in making sure our labor forces throughout the area feel directly involved. it's a humanely economical engine you'll say that billion dollars and the new buildings but the $14. billion will have a large number of the construction jobs and the engineering designing jobs as well as the concession vendors that reflect the diversity of our airport. i like coming to the airport when i'm traveling more and more those days and others for the
2:33 am
america's cup and the data breakers and all the different summer events many, many thousands of people will come through the airport. it's modern and save and has the highest level of technology and safety for everyone. we keep that for most in our minds as we approach the modernization. i'm detailed to mountains this i had a 10 year infrastructure plan for the city and once we get those plans out then the conversation starts to get to the place where the airport is
2:34 am
one of the biggest investments. our airport dpements with every visitor who comes here they feel welcome and you see that reflected in the signage. a 10 year capital plan means we have articulated for our immediate year we have the investments and the other cities around the bay area we're invest in this very great asset. same thing we do with our water system and our great art institutions. we plan ahead and involve everybody and get them to buy into our assets and the whole region.
2:35 am
i want to thank the commission and the staff, of course, and their corpse partners as well. i want to thank you all the other city agencies that come together whether it's police and fire we see working here very much alive in the evolution of safety on the water or runways. everybody has to work together on these and i know once you review the details you'll see how investment friendly and the future of the airport come alive as the great innovation capita of the united states. thank you, very much john for your work (clapping) >> thank you, mayor lee. as the mayor i said we're going to take the t e levels in the

supervisors we couldn't be more satisfied with this airport. it's a key xhieconomical engine. as the airport expands tens of thousands of our citizens work here and we're thrilled to see the airport modernize. also i need to speak on behalf of the regional. i think we're all aware with the global competition the bay area has to compete with other airports. i don't see many airports like san francisco international. we're one of the few airports in

2:44 am
>> hi. welcome to san francisco. stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. let's look at common earthquake myths. >> we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. we have 3 guest today. we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk about urban myths. what do you
2:45 am
think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special? >> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. >> you hear the myth all the time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something >> i hear they are aware of small vibrations. but yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thing.
2:46 am
>> there is no such thing. >> we are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. there is no relationship. i have heard it's hot or cold weather or rain. i'm not sure which is the myth. >> how about time of day? >> yes. it happens when it's least convenient. when it happens people say we were lucky and when they don't. it's terrible timing. it's never a good time for an earthquake. >> but we are going to have one. >> how about the ground swallowing people into the ground? >> like the earth that collapsed? it's not like the
2:47 am
tv shows. >> the earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but it's not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. >> it's not going anywhere. we are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. >> southern california is moving north. it's coming up from the south to the north. >> you would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. >> for better or worse.
2:48 am
>> yes. >> this is a tough question. >> those other ones weren't tough. >> this is a really easy challenge. are the smaller ones less stress? >> yes. the amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. >> i think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4.7. >> so small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future? >> not anyway that you can count on. >> i have heard that buildings in san francisco are on rollers and isolated? >> it's not true. it's a
2:49 am
conventional foundation like almost all the circumstances buildings in san francisco. >> the trans-america was built way before. it's a pretty conventional foundation design. >> i have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. is there anything of value to that ? >> yes, if you are in your room. you should drop, cover and hold onto something. if you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. if you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, it's not a bad place to be. >> the reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get
2:50 am
up and go anywhere. you are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. you are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. >> you want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. >> where can i buy a richter scale? >> mr. richter is selling it. we are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. they are not available. it's a rather complex. >> in fact we don't even use the richter scale anymore. we use a moment magnitude. the richter scale was early technology. >> probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. is that true ?
2:51 am
>> loma prieta was different. the ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. >> we are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to san francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in '89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isn't
2:52 am
really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damage in earthquake. >> i want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for test,
