Hour Two: 9-11: Technology
and Engineering
Last September, everything changed. In this hour of Science Friday,
we'll look back at 9/11 and its technological and engineering aspects.
We'll get an update on the engineering investigation into the collapse
of the Twin Towers, find out about research into telecommunications
vulnerabilities, and talk about the gap between human and electronic
intelligence gathering.
Call in with your comments and questions at 1-800-989-8255, and share
