he's actually at a port there in long beach.ht now. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, kyra. we are at the port of long beach where we have asked what would happen if a disaster like the "costa concordia" happened here? well, the first thing that would happen is the u.s. coast guard would take control and they would bring in at least a dozen other agencies to respond. here at the port of long beach, you have cargo container ships. you have cruise vessels. you have smaller boats. you have military vessels so they have to be prepared for everything. now we're with a group today the long beach harbor patrol. they're showing us how they train with their underwater dive teams to deal with one of these disasters under water. so we're going to walk inside. we've got video that we can show you of how these dive teams actually work under water. they are actually using sort of a welding torch to cut into a piece of metal and this would be done if a ship was submerged. if the ship was run aground. they might use this type of a technique to s

he is with rescue divers at the port of long beach.ll us what it's like, what they're doing, what kind of training exercise is going on. >> reporter: well, suzanne, we are at the port of long beach, california, with the long beach police department. and they have got a specialized diving team that's trained to deal with any kind of a disaster that might happen here. especially involving people in the water. now, there's 250 cruise ships that depart from the los angeles long beach port complex every year. think of all the people on the ships and think of how they have to get divers into the water quickly. they can't do that with a boat all the time. so one of the ways they do that is with the helicopter. long beach police department as you can see there has a helicopter ready to deploy to have the divers drop into the water. so they can get to potential victims very quickly. they are one of more than a dozen agencies under the direction of the coast guard that responds to an actual emergency. so we're -- there you see it now. they're ac

we're on a dive boat that is part of the long beach harbor patrol.very specialized dive boat where they are able to go under water for hours and hours at a time versus a scuba diver who can only be under the water for 45 minutes. this is one of the agencies that would respond to a maritime disaster. we have the los angeles fire department, long beach police department. now, at the top of all that, running the disaster, the response to this disaster would be the u.s. coast guard and joining me now is the captain for this entire port, captain roger lafarrier. what does it take to coordinate more than a dozen or perhaps more agencies to respond to a significant disaster at sea? >> well, it takes a lot of practice working together as a team. >> and because this port is so busy, you have big giant cargo containers and commercial cruise ships, what is the difference in the response to something for that versus a cruise hip disaster? >> obviously there are more lives involved in a cruise ship disaster. that's the main concern. we work with a system of syste
