. >> film maker and author wes moore served in afghanistan in the 82nd airborne and spent time in baltimoretary members that returned home and talks about the series. thanks for joining me. before we get to the pbs documentary, i want your reaction to the va scandal, the news that as many as 40 vets may have died in phoenix waiting for care. >> this has been an incredibly frustrating experience for our veterans community, not just the revelations of what's happened in phoenix but the fact is this is not a new phenomenon, whether it's phoenix or happening in colorado or the two most recent discoveries that we found in texas and also in san antonio. our veterans community needs to understand that our country has our back. and i think congress woman tammy duckworth said it best. when the nation called upon our veterans to serve and fight, we raised our hand and didn't ask our country to wait. why now that when veterans are coming back home and we're saying we need support are we then being asked to wait. there are things structural issues that need to be addressed where we look at bills like v

we went to moore, oklahoma, it was devastated by tornadoes on may 20th. ent to university technologists, let's take a look. >> west side of burton we have a major tornado coming down. >> may 20th, 2013, one of the worst tornadoes on record is captured on a time lapse video that went viral. >> people in west moore must be underground for this tornado. we have large large chunks of debris. >> the entire nation watched, as the tornado took a direct hit on the hig elementary. in moore. >> from the looks of the school i knew it wasn't looking good. >> winged recorded at over -- winds recorded at over 210 miles per hour. turning the ground into a pile of rubble. >> it needs to be a priority. you need to have a shelter. >> 300 miles from moore in texas tech university lab, they work to make it a reality. >> what we have here is an air cannon called boomer . virtual potato bottomer on steroids. >> pictures i've seen of the damage after a tornado is all about impacts. >> where wind really becomes an issue is that the debris opens up the building envelope, the walls

we had mary gallagher weigh in. >> i appreciate that. both commissioner antonini and commissioner moore, i have worked on all of these suggestions with the dr requester's representative for over a month. at the end of the day, we have no solution for this, which is why i proposed a solution of cutting back the rear of the building in order to make sure that it is compliant with all of the codes that we have. because on a 25' lot, if you are going to do a courtyard that is 6 or 10', you are left without a building. it is very, very important that the building as it is we're chopping off 4' in a good width of the building. if we have a problem with lot coverage, or insufficient rear setbacks, we can take off the real estate of the building burb it's important especially on the first and second floor as wide as it is. >> thank you for your opinion. i would be inclined to say that certainly as we work together before this comes back, we look at both alternatives. there was the alternative of taking some off the back as project sponsor said. the other alternative of narrowing the passageway

we did a shelter research for the national science foundation back in maize after the moore tornado. cally just to look for shelters in the storm path. >> the question now is: not whether to rebuild, but how. >> we're smart engineers. we know how to design for the wind speeds. and now, we know how to design for impact resistance. >> research performed tests on a variety of building materials. some of them failed. through trial and error, innovation came in the form of reinforcement and engineering. >> should we -- load the cannon? >> load the cannon. okay, let's do it. >> wow! >> 103 miles per hour. >> 103. it is completely fine. >> this particular wall is what we call a double wide brick. in other words you have one wall of brick here and another wall of brick here and then there's a four inch cavity that's full of concrete and reinforcing steel. the efi missile. >> this shows can you have a -- that you can have a safe place above ground. >> the beautiful thing about an above ground shelter is it's a dual-use space. >> is this what would you advise a school like plaza towers -- >> ab

. >> so retired army captain wes moore is the executive producer and host of "coming home" and he joinse here. >> what was your intent and why did you want to tell the stories? >> i think the big thing that really came from my own personal experiences, when i came back, i was paratrooper with 82nd airborne. when i came back, i noticed what an amazing disconnect there was between myself, and my paratroopers and the society we're returning back to. so as we're coming to the end of combat operations this year, i wanted to ask the question, what does that mean to the 2.6 million people that have been actually over there fighting these wars? and for a lot of them and for a lot of their families, just because we make it back home doesn't mean that the support and the understanding of who we are should wane at all. >> is it because your i'd toe is wrapped up in who you are as a military man or because you saw war, saw death and destruction, human beings maybe at their worst, and now you're expected to go back to society? >> it's a good question because i think what we try to do was not delve i
