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 up

new york. what do you think it means to the city of new york to have such a piece of history coming here?hink it's key, because it's a major population center, and it's really about the students. they'll have the opportunity to be inspired and to dream about space travel, to dream about being engineers who can make science fix come to life. fiction come to life. i think the most important thing i hope that enterprise will do is to inspire people to think about who the student who is in school today will some day be the first person on mars. maybe that student will get a tour and see his or her first spacecraft in new york city. bill: that is quite a lesson to learn. thanks. martha: it's a great point. and it is something that we really need to inspire young people to, and that is one of the great services that these shuttles will provide in these museums as students get a chance to see them up close, and as you point out perhaps to sort of be inspired and spurred onto a career in science an and aeronautics. it's a beautiful site. it comes in quite low across the five buroughs of manhattan

and so new york city is their reference to the world, right? so they have new york city, and then they have everywhere else. and they call... >> hinojosa: but what's interesting is that when they leave china, where they're leavinis actually a very beautiful place, there's a lot of green, there's a lot of lakes, there's a lot of nature. and then they come into new york city. >> which is not, like, green and lakes and nature, basically. except for maybe a small piece of central park. >> hinojosa: and it's a.. and for some... >> it's very tragic. >> hinojosa: and it's a tremendously long journey. you cover the story of one man from the golden venture. >> yes. >> hinojosa: and his journey was... >> 120 days, i think, yeah. >> hinojosa: 120 days. >> or his journey might actually have been longer, but the boat itself was about 120 days, right. and so it is... you know, it's this immense exodus, right? so that part of china, which is the northern fujian province, around the capitol city of fuzhou, is the number one chinese restaurant exporting region i

was played at a trial about three new york men charged with plotting to bomb the new york city subways in 2009. another al qaeda recruit from new york, bryant vinas, testified he plotted to bomb a wal-mart store and the long island railroad to cause the big economic hit al qaeda leaders wanted. don borelli, a former f.b.i. agent, was involved in the investigation. >> they understand the psyche of the west that even a small plot that's successful will cause huge economic disruption. >> reporter: al qaeda is weaker than it was a few years ago but is still trying to recruit westerners. >> this is the crown jewel for al qaeda, to be able to have somebody like that that they can trust that they can train and then reinsert back into their homeland and carry out an attack essentially, whenever they deem appropriate. >> reporter: that point was underscored in this trial. the three new york men charged in the subway plot have joined al qaeda to fight american soldiers in afghanistan but when al qaeda leaders learned that they were americans with u.s. passports they asked them to go home and car

new york policing. government has never achieved anything like it has done in new york city, where you have 10,000 minority males who are alive today, who would have been dead had new york homicide rates remained at their early 1990s levels. no war on poverty program has brought that degree of improvement to inner cities that assertive data driven policing has done. stop and frisks and hot spot policing is an essential part of how new york fights crime. but it has nothing to do with race, nothing. every week, the commanders in the new york police department meet to discuss the worst crime areas of the city. and they are concerned about one thing and one thing only. where are the victims? and race never comes up. and when they find crime patterns occurring, they are going to deploy officers there because, unlike the rap against police 40 years ago, that they ignored crime in minority neighborhoods because, oh, well, we know that's just the way those people behave. the process that's come to be known as com stat holds officers ruthlessly accountable for the safety of the poorest citizens of new york city. an
