i just served on board 3 for the assessment appeals board. i was enthusiastic before my commission began and i have to be honest, i'm more enthusiastic now than ever. i would like to serve on either board 1 or board 2. this last year has been a fantastic experience that i would like to extend, if possible. and i believe that my background as an attorney and an accountant who has involvement in construction projects,, as well as dealing with property management outfits here in san francisco allows me to be quite familiar with the process. in fact, i have engaged in the assessment appeal process myself several times and privy to the application process as far as the applicant's side is concerned. i would like to continue, if you approve >> thank you. >> could you state your name your name for the record. >> yosef tahbazof. thank you. >> i have a question. >> supervisor campos. >> my understanding from the city attorney you can only serve on one of these boards and you have an application for a seat on board no. 1 and then the next item has an ap

we know on board there was quote, unquote, classified crypto equipment. of the things we know. and we know the explosion as you see in that shot, was so wide that the ground was shaking under eyewitness' feet. but the scale of the catastrophe. this is a big catastrophe. >> it is a big deal. for orbital sciences, they are contract is $1.8 billion and that was for eight different supply missions to the iss. this was the third of them. so it is a big deal to orbital sciences and rocket dine, which makes one of the engines on board and also making engines for a 2020 mars mission. this is all part of the balancing act being done now between nasa and the privateization of the different services here. so big questions here. and yes, the experiments on board here, this is important stuff to people out there, erin. some of this would look at blood flow from the brain to the heart in zero gravity, that was one of the things being experimented. another would look at the behavior of meteors as they head into our atmosphere. so it represents a tremendous amount of work

it was the place where the last passengers were taken on board the titanic. c-span: you've been there. >> guest: yes. c-span: but you were there almost on the day -- you know, the -- the year that this all happened for what reason? >> guest: i wanted to get a sense of place, if you like, and that was the most important thing, that queenstown or cove, as i should call it, was so important in the story. it was the place from which the rescue fleet set out. it was the place to which the living and the dead were brought back. there are harrowing descriptions from the survivors of bodies being piled like cordwood on the quayside. you can still see the remains of the old cunard wharf. you can see the hotel where many of the passengers were taken. you can see memorials to the dead of the lusitania. you can see the mass graves beyond the town, where so many of the victims were buried. i wanted to get some sense of the place, and it really is very little changed from 1915. you can identify all the buildings, you know, including the office where u.s. consul wesley frost

. >> this report will focus on two items as a focus to the report at the last board meeting on september 11th. and the first item is regarding the formation of the special task district for the transbay, district, and it is disappointing the developers, backed out of the tentative deal, discussed in early september. and however, we are pleased and we want to thank the board of supervisor and all involved for approving the resolution, for the formation of the special tax district up holding the cfd tax rates as outlined in the tcpd and it will be unfortunate and disappointing if the developers move forward with any lawsuits that will jeopardize the completing of the transbay, transit center, and the top park and the downtown extension and the improvements and on the second item, regarding the opportunity to revisit the uniform height and level boarding for cal train and high speed rail, i attended the cal train rail panel discussion, in mountain view on september 29th. >> and the panel members, were dave cal train, and ben from high speed rail and brian from the tjpa project team, and tho

i have served on around eight advisory boards. honest, i think i have about aged out of being on corporate boards. it was, i think, a hunk of experiences that helped me to see the world more clearly. i would like to think that serving on those boards, that i actually managed to bring to those discussions a perspective, a set of experiences that was important. when i served on corporate boards, there were not many women, as there are today. nor were there many folk of color. and if you believe, as i do, that diversity is important not simply as a moral issue, but that there is a business case for it, that those with diverse experiences inform american corporations and help them to compete well in the global economy, then i would have to hope that i managed to make a contribution on those boards. i never sat on a corporate board with the assumption that i am just here and it is irrelevant that i am an african american woman. it was always my assumption that it was highly relevant that i was an african-american woman. >> you have bee

we don't know the names or identities of people on board. and we -- it is very early in that investigation. on the scene, they report they had two parachutes unknown whether anybody survived this, but two parachutes and significant debris. i think this really is going to call into question the viability, at least immediately, of putting paying passengers on a vehicle bound for low earth orbit. this is still very, very risky business. >> you mentioned the viability of people watching this, nbc reporting. you had over 700 people who paid or put down some kind of deposit to fly this kind of aircraft in the future. what is the impact there of that and this as a commercial option this is. >> when i was there, i was talking to virgin galactic and i have had conversations with richard branson about this, their goal was to have as many as four or five or six of these vehicles in circulation, cycling through, taking paying passengers up every single day or six days a week, out of their facility in new mexico. people are putting down somewhere in the n

two people were on board. they were injured but actually able to walk away ultimately taken to hagerstown trauma center. about .1-mile from that scene is where the chopper crashed into a nearby operating storage facility. there were people on the ground, but no one on the ground i'm told was injured. the three people killed were on board that chopper. that's according to frederick fire and rescue. the chopper was in a training exercise at the time of the collision. training operations are common out of this frederick municipal airport. many witnesses say they are very used to hearing aircraft above. they're used to seeing aircrafts above taking part in these training missions. meanwhile the single engine plane was flying to frederick municipal airport from cleveland, tennessee. the national transportation safety board will be on scene to investigate, as they always are when the aircrafts are involved in crashes. they will be able to determine exactly what happened, could be a lengthy investigation as these thi

otherwise it's the flu season, people get sick on board the aircraft all the time. flight attendants deal with this very, very well on a regular basis. if it's not the ebola virus, then the flight can continue as normal, but if there is a risk -pthere, then the first thing w need to do is to try to isolate that passenger, flight attendants should be donning that protective gear and should be reporting to the cockpit to get news to the ground and have the proper response when we can get the airplane on the ground. gerri: it's a very difficult situation. i completely understand because your space is limited on an aircraft, there's not a lot you can do. sara, thank you for coming on the show and illuminating this for us. a tough topic. >> thank you, gerri. gerri: is 21 days enough time to quarantine someone exposed to ebola? one doctor says that number completely arbitrary. >>> and there is still confusion about what protective measures hospitals should use with ebola patients. our jeff flock is live at medline industries where they are packing kits to protect health ca

at this point we are not sure how many people were on board the aircraft. our affiliate ksnw is reporting that one person is in critical condition and that ten people right now are unaccounted for. i want to bring in cnn's aviation analyst mary ski yav vo former inspector general for the u.s. department of transportation. i know this is a familiar airport to you. very little reporting but the pictures might tell more of a story from your perspective. >> they do. ashleigh, the pictures tell a lot. this is an airport, you know, boeing has facilities out there and many other aircraft manufacturers have facilities in wichita. the airport is a small city. they have big, long runways. so what we know from the fact that it was taking off from the airport that it can accommodate any kind of plane that there is, that they clearly had a catastrophic mechanical failure. they said they lost engine power. i suspect there's more than that because given the length of the runway if they lost their engine power as they lifted off, they might in this small little plane they m

the growth has been since 2010, moving up it is phenomenal, the number of riders that we now have on board, on a daily basis. and so it is something that we extract as conditions continue to get more con jected on the streets that will continue to get more riders that we will want to make the runs on the commuter line. >> specifically if you look at what has happened and these numbers are from february of this year and one of the lower rider ship months and it shows the number of drains in both drains in both directions in excess of 100 percent and the ones around here are 98 and 99 percent by the point that i am standing here right now, i am sure that those are at 100 percent or mow. so we have out grown what we have for a system right now, specifically for the cal train moderization program there are three components the first is the early investment program and in the early investment program, the first project is our (inaudible) program and that is something that is the communication based overlay and it is positive train control system that is currently being implemented and it is des

on board becomes more routine or somewhat routine. but i don't think you'll ever get the risks down necessarily down to the point of a commercial airline. and the reason is just it's so much energy needs to be transferred to a vehicle to get you to orbit. you know 17,500 miles an hour, if it's suborbital like virgin galactic plans to do it's substantially lest, but the point is that -- substantially less. but what we're doing, the risks in commercial spaceflight are manageable but people have to recognize this for at least now to near to mid term it's not going to be the same as getting on an airline. >> lee roy chao, good to see you. >>> coming up, looking at the men and women in the space economy when "real money" returns. >> only time can tell how the today's crash of spaceshiptwo, from virgin galactic. this is not a cheap ride but ambitious dreams often exact a huge price. patricia sabga has more. >> a company vying to take tourists into space. richard branson launched virgin galactic in 2004. >> hopefully make space available for

i want to talk about what was on board that also blew. this cargo was critical. 1,600 pounds of scientific experiment on matters ranging from meteors to human blood flow. there was about a ton of hardware, computer, spacewalk equipment. some of that gear is supposed to be classified. there were hundreds of pounds of food that was supposed to be heading up to the crew members on the international space station. so now that it's not going where it's supposed to be going, is this a pretty big problem? >> reporter: it's not a big problem, but it is a problem in the sense that every single ounce that gets sent into space is important because sending things into space is still incredibly difficult and expensive. so nothing's going up there that doesn't matter. what this means is some of these experiments will probably just be scrubbed. they may never fly again. some may find a way to get onto another flight if they can replace the equipment itself, which is expensive. in terms of supplies to the iss, a russian rocket took off today with more sup
