there were discussions that lost alamo's . again, prior to even the test at trinity being successful. there was a scientist that lost alamo's named robert wilson who insisted to fermi, to oppenheimer that there be discussions about this so that people could air their opinions . the decision-making is software for scientists, they knew about the discussions, they knew about the controversies and they made their judgment for better or worse, they made her judgment. but it was widely discussed within the lab. if that makes sense, externally people didn't know about it. we haven't even mentioned laura and she's quite an amazing woman, she didn't know. she didn't know what had happened when fermi came back from the test in the trinity test. she knew that he had not driven home that night. and whether that was, he was exhausted or he was emotionally spent, we don't know, but it was there for him not to be at the driver's wheel and she had no idea what had happened. and others, there were mainly why it is at lost alamo's, afterwards

and they met in los alamos on june 15 and 16th.s tremendous controversy about what should be done. should there be a demonstration? it was a whole group of physicists who felt they should be a demonstration in some remote island some remote place. and that demonstration we could invite japan, maybe some other countries to that demonstration. they would see the power of this weapon and they would prevents further war. the other camp was, that is not going to work. the logistics are harming this for one thing. and we need to drop it to show the japanese in particular, the germans had already surrendered. the japanese that we have a weapon of mass destruction. that was the controversy in this committee, this panel the scientific panel of port scientists look at it and they made the recommendation that there was no viable alternative other than to drop the bomb on a major city, a major industrial center. fermi was part of that. fermi looked very much at the technical parts of it that was part of the decision-making. at the same time wh

los alamos scientists formed a group called the association of los alamos scientists, which the acronym for that -- can't do that quickly, is called alas, and these were people who were saying we have to figure out what to do about the bombing the future. and fermi did not join that group. >> i would ask, i mean, i i would add to that, you did i i believe also ask if anybody left the project. as far as we know, there was only one person who left, a band, a polish physicist who had emigrated to england and came over as part of the english mission, and he left at the end of 1944 when it was beginning to become clear that the germans did not have the capacity to build the weapon. he was a distinguished physicist, but not one of the major figures of los alamos. he later became a peace activist. >> maybe one more question. okay. >> had fermi zweifel not been jewish -- wife -- do think there was a possible it would not of, to the united states? >> no. [laughter] >> i think he would have come. this is where the science was happening, among other things, that the leading scientists from germany

he had a name and this was when he was at los alamo's, henry farmer. that was the name he traveled by. but he was considered a loyal american. >> let me add a footnote to that. the talented university system is a state system so the universities essentially, all of them had our cities and in 1931, all professors were asked to swear their loyalty and basically to join the fascist party. 1200 professors at the time, a 12 refuse them and those were, all 12 were either integrating or work reaching retirement so they felt safe. we don't do this then we will be replaced by people who are really fascists so we should, this is something we should do. so fascism in italy is of course, was a terriblething . but it's not quite the same i think as not theism was in germany. not theism, it wasn't that terrible. well, let's maybe not talk about that as terrible. okay. right here. in green. >> please stand up so the camera can see you. >> i think it's odd we are talking about fascism. i can't imagine why. but i do wonder at the sort of, a love of physics and it equat

so where their discussions, yes there were discussions in los alamos again prior to even the test at trinity being successf successful. this is a scientist at los alamos who insisted that there would be discussions about this and people could air their opinions. so the decision-making is such for the scientists and they knew about the discussions into the controversies and made their judgment for better and worse. but it was widely discussed in the lab. she didn't know what had happened when he came back from the test. he hadn't driven home a that nit and he was exhausted or emotionally spent. we don't know, but it was rare not to be at the drivers wheel but she had no idea what happened. ..

physicists but not one of the major years of lost alamo's. he was a big peace activist. >> one more question. >> had fermi white not been jewish, do you think there's a possibility he wouldn't have come to the united states? >> no. i think he would have come. this is where science was happening among other things, that the leading scientists from germany who were jewish had come here. the scientists from italy had come here. people were coming here and this was where it was happening and exciting and he really liked the country so i don't see that he would have stayed in italy. i think that as much as we have emphasized that he was apolitical, i think there would have been a limit for fermi. >> as you know from going to south philadelphia, italians have strong families and i think that laura had not been so attached to her family. fermi would have come earlier. his parents had died in the 20s. and physics was, as bettina said, important and i think he would have come earlier. if she had not been jewish, would he have left italy? there's the q

>> los alamos would have had a third atomic bomb ready and going forward from there there would haveen about three bombs a month. there would have been ten through the end of 1945. what's chilling is to see the plan about how they were to be used. starting in october, november. they were going to be used for tactical support for the invasion of japan which meant they would have been dropped on the japanese concentrations two or three days ahead of an american assault. at that time, there was no real understanding of the effect of the gammaray sickness of nuclear atomic fallout. it begs the imagination to envision what it would have looked like. something to get into in the book is the experience of the uss haven in august 1945 of nagasaki. yothey are occupying japan, demilitarizing the japanese military and society and we are also tending towards our own in great numbers. so, nagasaki, the pows have been through the bombing of mike sacchi. the navy medical teams have never seen with japanese are calling the disease. the effect of the exposure there's really no understanding. everyone

los alamos would have had a third atomic bomb ready by the end of september. and going forward from there would have been about three bombs a month. we would have had ten bombs through the end of 1945. what's chilling is to see what the plans said about how they were to be used. starting in october/november be, they were going to be used, atomic bombs were going to be used in tactical support of the invasion of japan which meant they would have been dropped on japanese troop concentrations two or three days ahead of an american assault. at the time there was no real understanding of the effects of gamma ray sickness, of nuclear atomic fallout. it beggars the imagination, i think, to envision what that would have looked like. i get into the experience of the hospital ship, uss haven, that pulls in to the pier in august of 1945 at nagasaki, and they're there to evacuate u.s. p.o.w.s. again, we were occupying japan, we're demilitarizing the japanese military, japanese society and are also tending to our own who are in great numbers as.o.w.s -- as.o.w.s. 9/11 come

long wasn't enough now we have heavy rain moving in for the heart of the evening commute including alamoi6880 if your loved ones are driving up and down 680 for san ramon or danville heavy rain just leaving walnut creek. it continues to pour in napa county and sonoma county the city of sonoma, napa, yountville, vacaville, fairfield, south to petaluma, still pouring rain marin pouring on you as well south city pacifica millbrae san bruno the city of san francisco, across the bay to hayward and san leandro. you're getting heavy rain. south bay right now not so much. you're in the rain shadow but the santa cruz mountains it's pouring. let's take a look at the sierra. we just had john blackstone's report. it is a white-out center yosemite to susanville. everywhere above 5,000 feet in elevation is snowing. above 7,000 feet in elevation, by tomorrow, this storm will have brought up to 120 inches of snow, 10 feet. dangerous up there. but man, are we adding to the snowpack! rainfall for the month of january, with the latest data that just came in we get data every hour, santa rosa has gotten 11"

stone gate drive there and alamo, las trampas road, some downpours. we've got them also on wind moore parkway and starting to head towards the altamont pass and heading toward stone ridge drive, 680, 580, crow canyon. let me show you the brighter, whiter clouds coming in later today with heavy downpours and the possibility of thunderstorms. here are my concerns moving forward. stream and creek flooding high, we shook a lot of the weakness out sunday. hydroplaning high and river flooding high. hour by hour, at 5:00, you can see a little bit of a lull by 7:00, there's still going to be pockets of yellow along the peninsula coast. some of that will roll through by 9:00 but notice it starts to develop in a greater capacity and more widespread as we head from 9:00 to noon and then just keeps going on through 4:00, 7:00, 8:00, notice the red start to show up. that's where we'll have the thunderstorms and even faster winds, heavier downpours and the more likelihood of flooding during the evening hours. we'll have some showers tomorrow, some light showers thu

. >>> a big tree toppled down in alamo and damaged the roof of a nearby house.t happened near interstate 680 about 12:30 this morning, crushing a part wall and fencing. crews cut it up and took out all of the debris. no word of any injuries. the recent storms are probably to blame for making that tree fall. >>> in the meantime in pacifica, work crews are trying to fix a big sink hole on the coast. >> right. janine de la vega is live and just spoke with some of the construction crews there. what is the update, janine. >> reporter: well, they're very confident they can stabilize the sink hole. work crews arrived a short time ago working on this huge hole. it is 40 feet wide and 15 feet deep. crews started doing the repair work yesterday. it's on edgemore avenue between the fire station and the church. they're shoring up the sink hole so it won't grow bigger. we're told it could take six weeks to fix. with more wet weather in the forecast for tomorrow, possibly that timeline could change. the sink hole opened up last year and started small. but residents say the re

in their los alamos. and when we went there, inside los alamos, and we spent weeks working together hand-in-hand, you could barely tell who was doing what. what we found is that, to the russians, the nuclear complex was not an inheritance from hell. to them, it was the means for the revival of a great russia to nuclear weapons. i usually try to give the inheritance from hell to an american side. identify the loose nukes for weapons. as you heard, there were tens of thousands of loose materials. there were over one million kilograms of this stuff. loose people, perhaps, hundreds of thousands in the nuclear complex. and loose exports, the sale of everything that was not nailed down. that's what we were concerned about. that is not the way the russians looked at it. the weapons were to ensure the sovereignty of the country. especially when everything was coming apart. the nuclear material, especially the plutonium. it was going to be burned to make a -- to make electricity. loose people are brain drain, heav

couple of thunderstorms as we talked about, roll through san francisco and over towards alamo, danville, walnut creek last night and you can see the torrential rain that it brought and the quick flooding that it brought also. let's take a look down in the south bay right now, 101 and 237 and 101 and 85 and 82 all a little bit of ponding developing right there. got to watch this. the coast, the embarcadero, all going to flood later on today after the 9:51 hour and again tomorrow after 10:40. and then that coastal flood advisory will drop. temperatures just mildly -- just mild temperatures in san francisco, we've got low to mid 50s there. in fact, we've got low to mid 50s pretty much everywhere. here's a look at san jose where that light rain is falling right now. 101 and 880. caution on the roads, they'll be wet early, morning showers if you're on the water and if you're out and about, it's going to be dry later. in fact, our best chance of showers right now, but it looks pretty dry at sfo as we head through the day, we have an isolated shower and then we'll have a better chance tonight

. >>> just got a report from twitter from allen blast, alamo square just had a little bit of hail. i like that. can you spend me a picture next time? i'd like to see it. but it is possible with the snow levels dropping that we could have some hail out of the storms, even some snow tomorrow down to around 3,000 feet. here's a look at the rainfall potential. you can see a couple of mustn't hundredths to nearly 1/10 inch. look at the overnight hours, 3/4 inch to about 1 1/2 inches to 3 inches. right now you can see everything is right over top of us and moving to the east and all the way down to the border with mexico so you're going to get caught everywhere. 4:00 friday morning to saturday at 10:00 a.m., 2 to 3 feet of show is going to fall and more coming this weekend. >>> take a look at the bay bridge right now. we've got that heavier pocket of rain pushing through right know. flip those wipers on. the high wind advisories that were in effect for most of our area bridges overnight have cleared in the last few minutes so chp has downgraded those. pretty good here for our drive times

chris: this bright-orange notice of violation was tacked to the front of sondra halperin's alamo square condo building this past may. the tenant who rented her condo was illegally offering short-term rentals on airbnb when the city busted him. sondra: it was very surprising to me, and it was scary. chris: scary because the city was fining sondra $484 a day until her tenant took down all rental listings from short-term rental sites, and canceled all future bookings. sondra says getting the tenant to cooperate wasn't easy. and in the end, her total fine? sondra: about $22,000. chris: sondra was upset that she had to pay for her tenant breaking the law. sondra: i was unemployed at the time. i couldn't even focus on a job search. i was too consumed with this. kevin guy: it can be frustrating. chris: kevin guy runs the san francisco office of short-term rentals. he says it's city code that makes him fine the property owner, not the tenant. kevin: when we conduct enforcement, we conduct enforcement and issue violations against a specific property. so, not an individual person. chris: since ju

around highway -- we are at 580 to the 680 corridor and we have that moderate rainfall into danville, alamo and blackhawk. light rain around 680 as you begin the sunol grade into san jose. san jose has the rain shadow effect where you're being shielded from the rain from the santa cruz mountains. we have heavy rain around riverside grove into the boulder creek area. here's the commute around the peninsula. we have moderate rainfall around san mateo into the san mateo bridge. you have light to moderate rainfall, as well. this is why we have a flash flood watch in effect for today flout much of the bay area. also where you see the blue highlighted area that's the watch. the yellow is the advisory at the coast. astronomical high tide today, with rain and wind, not a good situation at the coast where winds will be 35 to gusts at 65 miles per hour. so therefore we'll see some waves onshore. cloud cover and rain temperatures are into the 50s. a sloppy day. heavier rain in the evening commute. 50s and 60s as highs. we'll talk more about the system and track it for you. again. >>> road closures nor
