st. paul, minn., decisions were made because we had so much flooding as to how high this sandbags have to be, how high the walls have to be based on these forecasts that change daily. it made a huge difference in reducing damage and loss of life. i'm a big fan of what they whether predictors' are doing. we have complete decimation in a public school or the bleachers were found a mile away. not one person died in that town. they got the warnings and the sirens went off 25 minutes ahead of time. a pool with 40 kids with only high-school life guards, the neighbors were able to pick up all the kids and the five that were left, a high-school kids from across the tree to a basement. this is because of emergency warning systems. it made such a difference. literally, 24-7, there are cameras in the flooded areas in towns all over our state's citizens can watch the river so they don't make stupid decisions and to make their own decisions. they're watching the river at certain points on the web live. eve

system carried nearly 800 million people last year many through major transport hubs like minneapolis-st. paul airport. there's still issues we know and we have some of our traffic controllers falling asleep, fatigue and sleep deprivation among air traffic controllers is a serious issue and i appreciate the chairwoman for having this hearing and all of you for taking this on. i know mr. babt, the f.a.a. has recognized and addressed the issue of fatigue and the new step in guidelines require two controllers in towers during night shifts and nine-hour windows between shift. have you been able to quantify the effect on these new staffing policies since they were implemented or is it too early? >> i believe senator it's probably a little too early. we haven't seen these part of the problem is these towers or whatever the facilities were 27 towers, three tray cons that had single person manning. the reason they had such low staffing is very little traffic operations at those hours. so we wouldn't expect there to be much in the way of operational errors there but it is too early to tell. >> i know t
