he was able to rock us. m he was able to barack us. >> piers: that spark some controversy around my next guest. a rapper common. one day it will all make sense. comment, welcome. how are you? >> good, thank you. >> piers: interesting title to this book. one day it will all make sense. what will make sense? >> hopefully life will make sense one day. >> piers: do you have any confidence of that? >> do i believe that some things will happen. they will make sense. we'll never make sense of everything. never. i don't believe that will happen for anyone on this earth will we know everything. >> piers: that white house appearance, as you know, sparked fury at the time. what was your take looking back on it? >> originally i laughed at it. i was like, are you serious? you are saying this all about me? then i realized they really didn't know who i was. they just, it was misinformation. >> piers: the controversy came because you had written lyrics which some people said supported people who had been involved in gun crim

the rock from here is used from the sea wall. it came from this hill. it was a itgnoll that was present. because of this blasting that occurred, the rock is weak. while most of the time, there are times of heavy rain. sometimes, this has nothing to do with the rainfall. iraq is 50 to an old and then it just falls. in this particular area where we're standing, we have seen the wall at the base. >> the big steel beams with the fence. this is an effective way of preventing the rock that does fall from causing damage. that might protect the bottom of the hill but it doesn't do anything over the hill. >> it has long been my understanding that the city of san francisco says and the building department takes this position that there is no one buildable lot -- unbuildable lot. i wonder if this is realistic. >> if money is an issue, we can develop solutions that will mitigate the impact. that a solution can be eliminating the hill, that can eliminate the problem. or build a structure right into the hill so there is no longer an exposed face or bold enough of iraq

rock. this used to be adolph sutro's estate. these weren't there then. >> ♪ in the richmond guess i ain't that cool ♪ >> when i was a kid, my father told me those were machine gun nests up there put in during world war ii to fend off japanese attackers. >> these two structures were build in 1943 by the u.s. army. also, these were spotting positions for the big post artillery gun batteries. the stations would work together. say win here and one at fort funston. using telescopes, they named a ship and target. and the two different sightings allowed them to trianglely position the ship at sea. >> so it was a lookout, essentially >> it was a lookout. >> i doubt if we saw a japanese ship today -- >> it would probably say toyota on the side of it. >> they are really fun. if shows you what can you do in 60 seconds. >> the pri sidot maps. people -- presidio maps. people keep forgetting that the army was a major presence. before the city was functioning, the army was functioning. and there are maps from the 1800's that show the farmhouse

south pacific, shows an orange dotted tusk fish of the wrasse taking a clam to a rock, banging it to busting it open, usingk as a tool. humans had no evidence that fish could use tools before. >> this was one of those very lucky moments. that made up for all those hundreds of hours of cold dives where we couldn't see anything. so that was really nice. humans use tools and 50 years ago anthropologist jane goodall discovered chimps do, too. that took a bit of wind out of our sails, we weren't as special as we thought. now bernardi brought back evidence from the waters of the south pacific that fish do as well. >> bringing it down all the way down to fishes, opens a new way of looking at these animals that we consider quite unsophisticated behaviorally and not doing all that much. but, in fact, they do very, very precise things. >> wrasses are quite smart and good eating, too, popular especially in the asian cultures. bernardi caught his prey with this, a point and shoot camera in an underwater case. imagine if it didn't work of if he didn't press the right buttons. but he did. his name will be listed among o

it was rocks hitting us. >> your house got hit by debris? >> oh yes.ces of asphalt. >> came right through the roof? >> through the roof and through the wall. sphw mike keep as few chunks of the asphalt that came crashing down from the sky when that pipeline blew up. just 200 feet behind his house. he wear as t-shirt to let pg and e know about the $120,000 they did to his house. >> i say pg and e, remove that pipe. >> they are saying it wasn't their fault. >> i have a bridge on north end of san francisco real cheap. do you believe that? >> that make you angry when you hear that? >> what? that it's not their fault? you are right it makes me angry. >> the truth is, pg and e filed a document june 17 with the ntsb investigators. stating that the probable cause of the pipeline rupture was a weld, which weakened over time. further, the long seem weld was not completed in the field, but rather was completed at a mill by a manufacturer. neighbors like bob whose house was completely destroyed wonders the obvious. if it isn't pg and e's fault, then who is to blam

fractured like the iraqis and the sunni and shia christian and other so the low hanging fruit was a rock just use that moment in the wake of nine eleven they use the moment and in the wake of nine eleven to divert from afghanistan our real target should have been our real target and go to iraq that's exactly what they did you said you were testifying if they put someone like they change on trial and our what we can accuse them off i think he's already done it no one needs to accuse him of anything he has admitted publicly it is on duty ok that he condoned waterboarding that he would still waterboard then he does not believe waterboarding is torture waterboarding is torture there is a ipso facto case remains guilty but they're saying they did it in the best interest of their country it seems to be the ultimate reasoning which can't be confronted what would you say to that i say that the in the ever justifies the means. and the question is does the lesser evil ever justify its because it prevents a greater evil there is some real problems with that argument logical problems as well as philosophical

the rock beneath the concrete was 10 times stronger than the concrete that is used to support the building. >> okay, moving to another part of the city, this is the eastern side. >> this is on army street? >> yes, this is army st., se. look at all that stuff. it is an active city. >> a lot of the old industrial, the american can co., goodman lumber. all that good stuff. >> wow. >> and this building is one of the examples of remaining 1906 earthquake damage. it has been repaired above, and that is where they repaired the damage. what did they found these buildings on, back in the early days? >> those days, remember i mentioned early on, it would use of redwood grillage and they would extend the grillage up far enough so it would spread out the load. today, one would know when to evaluate a building like this, we say to ourselves, there is no way this building can be standing. the bearing pressures that are being posed on the soil far exceed the strength of the materials present, yet it works. it could be such a phenomenon as arching and other things to keep the building standing. typically,

. >> i was wondering if they had any sort of metal or did they use hardened rocks of some sort to shape their stones? . >> most of what they did was stone. metallurgy was just starting to move up into northern chijuajua at that time and they were working with copper. that was just ornamental, so there was no metal going on at all other than imported bells. >> and the shells, they went down to cortez -- not lake -- the cortez sea to get, was that mostly hard or brittle? . >> it was hard but not tool hard. the colorado plateau is covered with chert, a glassy rock that is really really good for making tools, making very sharp edges. you find there are pieces of chert all over the place and you can still cut your skin open very quickly with it and it's been sitting out in the open. >> where does chert come from? . >> it's a marine rock that's mostly silica. you find it in these layers, sandstone layers. if you are especially in a marine or water environment, you will find this layer of chert. it's in all colors, purple, green, red, blue. it's a beautiful rock. . >> one thing i wanted to ask

an interstate agency who assembled it on the hudson river using the procedure of eminent domain n1966 the construction began. the excavated rocked to extend it farther into the river. >> the excavation of two world record-breaking towers with very deep foundations. so they are now excavating for the creation of the world center, and they used that excavated material to create battery park city. >> the world trade center was designed as a complex of high rise building with the centerpiece being the twin towers. when the north tower was completed in 1972, it stood 1368 feet. replacing the empire state budding as the tallest skyscraper in the world. the south tower was a little shorter. the architect drew up hundreds of conscientious before his plans were accepted. >> it's interesting to trace the critical opinion of the world trade center, which started out rather excited at the ambition and the scope and the minimalist expression of modernism. once the complex was completed, it was rather negative. the architectural community, i think, began to just simply ignore the towers rather than to appreciate them for their great moment

crews will use rocks and drainage systems to stop dirt and sand from washing into the estuary. >> aboutthat they're paving that helps reduces the amount of dirt that actually gets into the lagoon. >> reporter: the next phase of the restoration will involve removing invasive plants and species. >> so we're looking at reversing all these negative trends and restoring it back to its more healthy state. >> reporter: but keeping it healthy will take protection. in 2007, oil from the costco spill drifted into the lagoon. federal agencies and nearby communities now practice spill response. >> now there are actually, you know, committees that plan -- are planning and working on what will be done should another disaster like that occur. >> reporter: the lagoon has been recognized by the united nations for its ecological importance. but for bruce, it's bluewaters, moody tides and creatures are simply the sacred waters of home. joe rosato jr., nbc bay area news. >>> and you know we're looking at those beautiful pictures of the sunshine. rob, you're telling me despite another gorgeous day today, to

also, the bowling alley of course, we lost rock 'n' bowl, we definitely need this type of use in the mission. some of the calls i have been receiving from members of the community is that a lot of consideration be given to families and youth. supervisor kim, i am sure you have that on your radar. the project sponsor has done it some outreach to groups and sometimes what i observe is there is a pick and choose on who the, reaches down to. a-- the outreach is done to. that would -- there might be challenges you end up at a better place. i think that is really it. but i think, it creates a certain balance. everything has been so moving so fast. i do not think anyone has had a chance to, what is the word, consider a lot of different things. thank you. -- thank you for your work on this. commissioner moore: i want to talk to the owner of the roxy theater and make a point regarding i fully understand that it is supporting or in proving your business that you want alcohol and i am supportive of it to the extent the price point of which are selling stays within the general range of the audie

the fresh cut with the debris sitting on the ledge, luckily we have a chance there to protect us from rocks going on the street. >> this is one type of rock salt and we will look at a few others. what will we see? >> i think it would be appropriate. we have been talking about rock salt. there is instability that occurs at telegraph hill. this was more in the earth flow and debris flow kind of movement. this moves downhill as a result of the rations from the earthquake. that is where we are headed next. >> here we are on the next stop of our landslide for parent though this is the lagoon ouna a area. this is different from where we all were just add on telegraph hill. this is a whole different concept. tell us what we have to. we have the big hill behind us, what kind of formations do we have? >> this part of san francisco, we are out in the dune sands which makes up the hill to my right. a crusty old drainage that we are standing is bedrock, 160 million year-old sandstone. the project right in the hillside over there and then farther down along the path that goes to the reservoir. >> there

rock is what? the middle ground? >> in the fog. >> the bunch is just coming out. >> it's the point furthest south. >> okay. and why is that important to us? >> muscle rock is where the san andreas fault comes into san francisco cocaine and city a nd -- county and city. >> this is -- >> coming out into the water. >> going into the water, and out past fill rock and frank, where are we going from there. >>çó port race, it comes up between valleja so,. >> that's balinsa and point rat fault comes in between those two. >> okay. how far offshore is the fault where where we stand? >> about a mile and a half to two miles offshore. >> i have a question. i always hear that earthquake shaking and earthquake hazards are increased the closer you are to the fault. do you think that's right? >> that's correct. >> okay. so we're pretty close here, so that means that should the fault rupture on the san andreas fault, we have more potential damage than if you're further away based on if the soils were uniform. >> the (inaudible) decreases the further distance from you. the ep i center is further offshore and occurred in '06. the first initial shock, the sm
