[crashing] >>> zach brannon didn't fully comprehend how bad it was.he tremendous earthquake and the deadly wall of water that followed it was snubbing out more than 18,000 lives. tens of thousands of homes, whole towns were being swept away, but zach didn't know that yet. >> i just wanted to find georgia, my best friend and i wanted to make sure she was all right. >> zach kept telling himself she was all right. know da, the small town on the coast where georgia lived was protected by massive concrete sea walls and barriers. >> so your first thought wasn't, oh, god, she's in trouble. it was more, thank god there's a wall. >> yes, it's there. there's no possible way it could have gotten over that. >> how did you find out you were wrong? >> well, i decided -- i just left, i left work. >> back in indiana zach's parents, relieved their son was alive got another e-mail. zach was going to look for georgia. >> now a new set of concerns like -- i wasn't even exactly sure where she was. so once we figured that out, we looked it up on the map, well, it wasn't fa

on the spot from perhaps the very beginning of the fight, even though it is wood and john milton brannon who do the initial stabilization of the action, once thomas is there, his presence is undeniable. again, he is lent this huge weight to the federal soldiers and given parts to the defenders on horseshoe ridge. the are many tales told of him the the snodgrass house where he established a temporary field headquarters. one of my favorites -- he sent another aide at about 2:30 in the afternoon to conduct gordon granger's troops off to the union right. before the aide leaves he turns to the general, where should i you after i it is pretty clear that even though some confederate gotten , at the very end of street -- end of now he has the texas brigade and the alabama brigade and what is left of the georgia virginia which is no more than 400 men at this point. they are supposed to move north with the union retreat before they ever come to grips. in effect, longstreet does make some move in that direction but it is at the very end of the day . it gets no attention because there was no fightin

and we're honored to be collaborating with the city and community on a 1-acre park at 5th and brannon that is called for by this plan. there are two things that are key to know. to that end, we've had three public workshops to learn a number of things about where they're coming from, how they live and what they want to be able to do and how the park can extend their lives during the day and on the weekends. we've heard things that are more obvious perhaps like open space with grass and where kids and dogs can be and safety in terms of moving through. this park is in the center of the lot, but we've heard that people want to use this place to get together. could this be a living room for their community. could it be a place to come for a farmer's market, science fair, see a film, gathering informally in a teadecent-sized open space? the other aspect is sustainability. when we say sustainability, we don't refer so much to metrics and to checklists, but we're talking about the environmental sensibility of a place. and what we find here is that we have to -- we have a place that is -- bec

i'm going to start with director brannon. your agency two days ago started the process of prom gaulgating definition of machine gun to clarify whether certain bump stock devices fall within that definition. can you confirm that atf has concluded that it now has the authority under existing law to regulate bump stocks? >> mr. chairman, we're pursuing -- there's the possibility that it's possible as we go through the administrator's procedures act, being the first step is the advanced notice of proposed rule making, which is within omb. if that wasn't a possibility at the end, we wouldn't initiate this process. >> okay. many gun owners are concerned that a regulation restricting manufacturer or sale of bump stocks could apply to other firearms or firearms accessories in common use. are you confident that the regulation if you move forward with the regulation can be written so that it addresses the bump stock issue separately but does not go beyond that? >> well, mr. chairman, thank you for the question. what i promise to you is
