so the debate here isn't over do we true them in new york -- try them in new york or gitmo, the issues whether we're waging a war against terrorism or whether we're racking up criminal prosecution awards. and the fact is this approach left america more insecure after the 1990s and led to the first september 11th, 2001, and if pursued over a course of years here as we are will leave us more insecure in the future. lou: i'd like to share with the audience the comments by mayor bloomberg who back in 2010 had this to say in regard to the obama administration's desire to try khalid sheikh mohammed in new york city. he said: it would, it would be great if the federal government could find a site that didn't cost a billion dollars which using downtown will. it's going to cost an awful lot of money and disturb an awful lot of people. i mean, the suggestion of a military be is probably a reasonably good one. and with that, the obama administration changed its mind in 2010, kt. >> right. lou: he does not, the good mayor, want to in any way disturb the tranquility of the obama administration thi

i will tell you how randel came to be in new york. he was born in albany as a jeweler had fought in the revolutionary war in had a lot of brothers and sisters there carpenters, inventors, farme rs, there seems to be a lot of innovation in the family and a strong work ethic. random appeared to be extremely good in mathematics. he refers to one of his teachers is trying to find a place and talks about this incredible teacher and it is clear he has an affinity for the teacher and math and it shows throughout his life. at 12 years old ended up as a surveyor general for new york state. this is a map of the albany at the time when randel was born and growing up. and initially he was in the office copying notes that had come in from the surveyors across the state and compile them into maps at the same time he was doing his own maps of property around albany. people are not as familiar with these maps. not just from the time he was surveying on the island but the range of the work for the surveyor general this is a map for w. s. lewis, and th

and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built u

this is a map of attractive land in central new york state. much of the work that simeon dewitt had his surveyors doing at that time was mapping out land that was going to be given to the veterans and, basically, pushing the native americans off the reservation, subdividing them into grids and then either selling or allocating the land as payment for services during the war. this is i think one of the maps from the salt spring reservation that randel did. again, you can see the divisions. this is a very beautiful map that he did of knew da castle -- oneida castle. he also surveyed turnpikes. and one of the ones he was doing right at the time that he started his work on new york island was the post road from albany down to city hall. and it's a 23-part map. it's incredible because you can just follow it along the way. he marks post offices, he marks taverns, i guess it makes sense that he marked post offices since it was the post road. he marks t.a.r.p.es, houses -- taverns, houses, mills, and you can just sort of see how everything went all th

so, i sent a letter to the new york times that a woman that wrote us and also she wanted the new york in it and the new york pd to start opening cold cases. murders that were unsolved and now the link is that they have gotten hundreds and hundreds of cases from across the united states and other police departments going into new york and seeing the data base for unsolved murders and so i sent out a letter and copies of the letters that i am giving you on the story that i sent to the nypd and the new york city commission, the police commission, to share data bases because i know that san francisco is going back to the murder that was in the marina were i, i ded the murder not the suspect. the person that was murdered i had a chance to enter san francisco's investigation unit and i was kind of shocked and it looked like csi to me, it looks like the gun shoes of 1950, and i know that you are short 19 to 22 investigators. but i think that this city or the sfpd has a long way to dow go*e and to bring it back up to par and start to investigate the cold cases of murder. so i have connected a

new york is the most densely populated city in the u.s. and over 40 million tourists visit the city every year. the 1.3 billion gallons of water required every day are delivered by a system of extraordinary scale and complex engineering. man: water is essential to the economic viability of new york city. reliable infrastructure and reliable delivery of water is a must. you have to reinvest in the infrastructure every single minute to keep it current. hurwitz: we have the stock exchange, we have the united nations -- failure can have a dramatic impact on the nation, and even internationally. so there's a really keen awareness that you always have to be fixing the system. things corrode, they rust. they get to where you turn them on and nothing happens. but it is so totally used in every nook and cranny, that making any accommodation to shut it down, to do something to it, is very difficult. narrator: two massive underground tunnels, called simply tunnel 1 and tunnel 2, provide most of the city's water supply. they run hundreds of feet below
