falcon, x-ray, albany, and others. colonel forrest, tell me a little bit about your recollection of arriving at x-ray on the 17th -- 16th and on that tuesday. what did x-ray look like to you? >> probably a sight like we had never seen. my unit, unlike the other units, we walked into x-ray. >> right. >> we had spent the night, the previous night at l.c. columbus, and then the next morning went overland into x-ray. so on the way into x-ray, we could see some of the casualties, at least of the north vietnamese casualties as we got into the landing zone. but we saw guys who were absolutely physically exhausted. i think jack smith characterized it once. he said they had that blind combat stare. >> did you all know what had happened there? >> we did not, because communications was poor. we were not on hal moore's frequency until we actually got into x-ray. >> do you remember the then lieutenant colonel when he was -- >> absolutely. absolutely. he was probably this monumental figure standing in the middle of all of this chaos

let's drop it into the x-ray machine. this is our digital x-ray cabinet. the x-ray source is up above. this does the majority of the artifacts that we find. the digital portion of it is the sensor, about 40 centimeters by 30 centimeters and the majority of the cost of this piece of equipment. so we have already warmed it up. let me go ahead and turn it on. and instantly, the pictures should start appearing. now, what you're looking at is an x-ray through the artifact, and if you look at the sword guards here on the outside, the areas that are in bright white are where there's still some existing metal left, but the areas that are gray, that shows you that there's actually no metal in this. you can see the metal kind of ends right about there. and what that tells us is that we would not be able to elekc electeralicize this object. we would have to use air abrasion using the aluminum oxide under pressure, pushed through a very narrow carbide tip to blow away the surface corrosion product. and stopping at that black magnetite. there's only little pockets of i

scans and x-rays.d they are concerned about children exposed to radiation at levels used by adults and they are calling for urgent action. abc's medical editor dr. richard besser now has advice for parents about their small patients. >> can you pull up your sleeve and tell in where it hurt. >> reporter: lucas is 4 years old. his arm hurt. x-rays and ct scan, which are hundreds of times more powerful, are incredible diagnostic tools. but each time a child gets a scan, it comes with radiation. and radiation, any radiation, means a higher risk of cancer. that is what the fda is warning about today. one study finding that the number of ct scans in children jumped 500% in 1995 to 1.6 million. and one-third of all ct scans are not needed. one example, concussions, where ct stan scans just aren't needed. children, their bodies are developing and they have many years for cancer to grow. >> when we do a study, we want to put it on the pediatric imaging monitor. >> this here? >> yeah. >> reporter: today, the fda

that was the lz x-ray trees about 260 feet tall surrounded. and it was less than just a little short of the size of a football field the area was. >> so it was very tight? >> very tight. and very confining because you had to have some skill, had to have a lot of skill to get in and out of there successfully without damaging the aircraft, against obstacles. >> was fear a part of your day? >> absolutely. but, controlled fear, if you made -- if you don't, it will devour you. and again, go back to i can't change things. >> right. >> and another thing i had, i didn't expect to survive, because i had been in a tremendous battle before, and who am i to say i'm the chosen one and i will be spared. but i'll tell you, two things in the situation of combat. you need some skills, and you need some luck. it's like playing texas hold 'em. >> mm-hmm. >> and i do that. i play texas hold 'em, as well. but both of those are involved, and i think they equally -- they play an equal part, possibly. but the skill is a must if you're going to successfully dprumpltys

x. rayed you know i got to have somebody grab me i mean. i don't even think the government thinks this is rational or what the truman project we stand with benjamin flag and bradman franklin perspective on this issue is pretty clear those who are willing to sacrifice their liberty in the pursuit of security deserve neither and you'll have another quote i'm going to use overzealous is crucial is crucial here that said security at airports and everywhere else is a constant battle between those on the defensive those in the office of in the real problem is the attackers the terrorists in this case they've always got the next move they've always got the initiative they always know what their plot is before you do and so at some point we've got to figure out one you know what are the limits of our ability to prevent these attacks and thankfully so far we haven't reached those limits all that much yet put second i think you bring up a really crucial point and that point is is the resilience that's necessary as a nation and this is something that

everything is completely in right now, the x-ray looked fine.ns, which are hundreds of times more powerful, are incredible diagnostic tools. but each time a child gets a scan, it comes with a dose of radiation. and radiation, any radiation, means a higher risk of cancer. that's what the fda is warning about. one study finding that the number of ct scans in children has jumped 500% since 1995. to 1.65 million. and one-third of all ct scans aren't needed. one example? concussions. where ct scans just aren't useful in most cases. radiation is especially dangerous for children because their bodies are developing, and they have so many years ahead of them for cancers to grow. >> when we do a study, we want to put it on the pediatric imaging parameter. >> so this little button here? >> yes. >> reporter: the fda called on doctors to give children a fraction of the dose an adult gets. and on manufacturers to make that easier. i asked the fda, what took so long? >> standards and research need to reach a certain level, and so we believe that there's now a

x-rays. and these x-rays turned out to be simply a high frequency light. remember we talked about exciting atoms? we got an atom with the electrons going round and round and electron or light or something hits, makes electron go up, come back down, boom, off goes the energy in the form of light. the same thing happens when you excite the innermost electrons. if you excite those-- it takes a lot more energy-- and you're knocking electron way up and it comes way back down, boom, that light photon that emerges is beyond the range of seeing. it's even beyond the ultraviolet, and that's what x-rays turned out to be. simply high frequency light from the orbital electrons jumping orbits that correspond to great energies. but after that, it was found that there were radiations coming from different minerals that did not have to do with the electron orbiting around nucleus. it had to do with the nucleus itself. and the radiations that were emitted, to make a long story short, were three different types. now you might think they'd call them maybe "a," b, c, right? b

and what are you feeling when you're coming in to this -- to the lz x-ray and you're really getting hit with it? >> training. the only difference in a training mission and a combat mission is a combat mission, add bullets. remind yourself that you can't change what is going on about you at that particular time. and i always have the mind-set that it is more honorable to let the enemy kill you than to kill yourself. and if you -- if you get carried away with this fear, and anxiety, of what's happening, you can hurt somebody, including those around you, you make mistakes. so stick to your lesson plan and fly the ship at all costs.

they are asking to manufacture new x-rays with children's safety in mind. say the radiation could prove harmful later on. >> a child's tissues are more sensitive to radiation. >> also, children have a longer lifetime for the effects of -- such as radiation-induced cancers to develop and grow. >> reporter: doctors say radiation imaging is still a valuable medical tool, as long as it's not overused. >>> check in with eyewitness news at 6:00 for these stories and more, coming up, demease is standing by with a preview. hi, denise. >> hi, kai. high-wire walk. wjz continues after nik wallenda successfully covers the inner harbor. >>> historic announcement. president obama says he supports same-sex marriage. reaction from here in maryland. now, back to kai and mary. >>> still to come on wjz eyewitness news. the baseball world still buzzing about the historic night at camden yards. >>> it was a record-setting performance. performance. ,,,,,,,, [ male announcer ] eligible for medicare? that's a good thing, but it doesn't cover everything. only about 80% of your part

the x-rays can show irregularities and narrowing of the coronary arteries. doctor: there's the articulation. better in a second. they're injecting dye into me, which has a really funny feeling because the dye is... feels warm going through your body. and i was actually awake and the cardiologist, who, i must say, was very, very good, sat there with a laser pointer on a screen that was in a position where i could see it and he showed me where the dye was not going any further and was being stopped in-- totally stopped-- in four of the arteries. he said that they could've been up to, like, 90% occluded. and then three of the arteries were at least 60% blocked. if only one or two of a patient's coronary arteries is narrowed, a physician may suggest an angioplasty procedure-- introduced in the united states in the early 1980s. after a few years in practice in boston, i went to an abstract session at one of our national meetings. a young swiss was there, andreas gruentzig. he presented an abstract about putting a balloon catheter inside the heart, inside the arte
