What's up, sunshine? I'm Ky Wire. This
is CNN 10. We have your 10 minutes of
news for Thursday, November 20th. Happy
Friday Eve. We are officially one week
from Thanksgiving, and we would just
like to let you know how grateful we are
for you. Without further ado, let's get
you your news. We have new developments
in the investigation of Baltimore's
Francis Scott Key Bridge, which
collapsed last spring. Six people died
when the bridge crumbled into the
Baltimore Harbor after it sustained a
direct hit from the Dolly, a 213 million
pound cargo ship that had lost power.
Now, the National Transportation Safety
Board or NTSB says they believe they
found the primary cause of the power
outage that led to the crash. Our Brian
Todd has more. NTSB investigators in
determining the probable cause of the
collision that brought down Baltimore's
Franciscott Key Bridge last year
determined that one key failure really
triggered a series of other events and
that was the faulty wire connection. A
wire, a signal wire connected to a
circuit breaker was not properly
connected because there was a label
sticker placed too close on the wire to
the connection point. We have a diagram
that they showed of that wire and how it
should have been placed. Uh this label
was poorly placed on the wire kind of at
the base of the wire preventing the wire
from being fully connected to the
circuit breaker and that was placed
there loosely at the time of the ship
was built about 10 years ago. And they
said that that caused the first
blackout. That loosely placed wire
caused the first blackout which of
course triggered a series of events, a
second blackout and then the failure of
the emergency generator. Um, you know,
Jennifer Hamdy, the NTS, NTSB
chairwoman, said that this vessel is
about as long as the Eiffel Tower is
tall. And trying to find a loose wire on
a ship like this is like trying to find
a loose bolt on the Eiffel Tower. Now to
a peculiar approach to deterring some
very unwelcome guests in the city of Ha
in Japan. A bright pink googlyeyed drone
is now patrolling the skies with a
barking megaphone in a bid to scare off
bears. They can even deploy
firecrackers. Local officials say the
earth sign visitors have wre havoc on
local apple and peach orchards as they
gear up for hibernation and sightings
have increased eightfold over the last
year. We examined whether to drive the
bears away by hand or use dogs.
Ultimately, we decided on a method that
could be enacted immediately. And after
careful consideration, we chose to use
drones for bear deterrence. While it may
be a silly looking solution, it's
addressing a serious problem. According
to Japanese media, a record 220 people
have been injured in bear attacks across
the country. Since April, 13 people have
tragically died. The army was even
deployed earlier this month to help
local authorities cull bears in the
country's rugged northern region.
Pop quiz, hot shot. What was the
dominant internet search engine before
Google rose to prominence? Ask Jeieves
Alta Vista Dog Pile or Bing.
If you said Alta Vista, your search is
over. The website claimed to have
indexed 20 million pages. Massive number
for 1995. It quickly became known for
its speed. For context, though, Google's
index contains hundreds of billions of
web pages today. The internet is
constantly growing, changing, and
evolving. But have you ever wondered if
it's possible to keep a record of
everything that's ever been posted
online? That's exactly what one group is
attempting to do. The Internet Archive
has been saving a page by page record of
the entire web for nearly three decades.
Our Hadas Gold had a chance to browse
their San Francisco headquarters to see
how the mind-blowing operation works and
how they're bracing for the age of AI.
Brewster Kale started the Internet
Archive in 1996 when a year's worth of
websites was just two terabytes which
could easily fit on just one of these
hard drives.
Now the hum of servers fills the stained
glass adorn sanctuary where 150
terabytes worth of the internet are
saved every day.
>> So every time a light blinks is either
somebody uploading something or
downloading something from the internet
archive. This year, the Trump
administration deleted thousands of
government web pages. When everything
from health policies to achievements by
minority military members disappeared,
the internet archive was able to help
show and preserve what had been removed.
>> This change was huge. Whole sections of
the web uh came down. They have a new
point of view and that's why we have
libraries to go and have the record.
>> Do you ever feel that what the internet
archive is doing is preserving truth?
The internet archive preserves a record
and um whether it's true or not is
actually for others to interpret.
>> To protect against future threats, both
physical and political, the internet
archive has copies of its servers in
multiple locations around the world.
>> Are you concerned at all that you guys
will be targeted at some point?
>> Let's go and make it so that there's
different points of view stored and made
permanently accessible in different
environments. So, libraries have always
been under attack. Now, more than during
my lifetime. Um, but let's go and um
live up to the moment.
>> We're seeing the rise of AI. Should be
recording something that was created by
AI in the same way we would record
things that were created by humans.
>> We're starting some experimental
programs because so many people are
turning to the chat bots as a news
source and so they're going and just
typing these things in. It's a
preliminary project still to go and
record what did the different chat bots
say about the current affairs. So we
want a record of our times and this is
just another aspect of it.
>> And they don't just save web pages,
libraries, museums or really anyone can
ask the team to digitize and help
preserve physical records such as music,
TV, and books.
>> This is 1947. We had electricity
already. Let me show you what happened
in 1927.
So this is what 1927
sounded like.
>> Books are carefully photographed page by
page, digitized, and posted online.
>> Here we go. Boink.
>> Even entire vintage video games are
preserved, playable without the need of
old consoles.
>> My browser is going to be running a
JavaScript IBM PC and using the Internet
Archive as a giant floppy drive. The
archive has recently emerged from years
of legal battles over copyright claims
and is celebrating saving more than one
trillion web pages, meeting their fans
and supporters offline. There are a lot
of people that are just passionate about
the cause. There's a cyberpunk
atmosphere.
>> You know, this day and age when truth
has become increasingly hard to find,
it's nice to have a hard copy of
something that was actually, you know,
out there.
>> A party they hope to host again with the
next trillion pages. kid. Honestly, I
could go on and on. I could explain
every natural phenomenon, the tide, the
grass, the ground. Instead, we have news
about Disney releasing a first look at
the liveaction adaptation of Moana.
>> 17-year-old Katherine Laga plays the
title character in the musical
adventure. Her grandparents are Samoan
natives, so she says she is proud to
honor her Pacific Island heritage.
Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, returns as
the demagod Maui. This will be Disney's
quickest turnaround between an animated
movie and a liveaction remake coming
just 10 years after the original. The
liveaction Moana sales into theaters in
July of 2026. You're welcome.
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A
Dodgers holiday tradition giving fans
something extra to be thankful for. The
World Series champs hosted their annual
Thanksgiving drive-thru turkey giveaway
at the Dream Center. They handed out
1,500 Thanksgiving feasts. Will Klein,
one of the pitchers in that marathon
game three of the World Series, put that
arm to good use, tossing out meals to
people in need. It's just really great
to be able to give back uh to the
community in LA, especially you know
with all the support that they've showed
us and you know everything that's going
on here and all the hardships that that
have been happening to these people and
so it's it's nice to be able to give
back and just growing up like my mom
taught a lot of like underprivileged and
underfunded uh students and stuff. So
just be able to do my part and you know
learn from learn from her experience was
is really nice.
>> Get those wheels turning and think about
how you might be able to lift someone's
spirit this holiday season. All right,
speaking of Thanksgiving feasts, I have
a shout out. A delicious package we
received from these lovely folks here at
Washington Intermediate School District
in Chelsea, Michigan. They took a field
trip to Jiffy Cornbread headquarters.
Look what they brought us, y'all. They
got to meet with their CEO and they sent
us some souvenirs. My team and I will
absolutely make good use of these. We
will enjoy them very much. And the rest
of them, we're going to bake up and give
them to some folks who might need them.
Thank you. I have another shout out now.
This one goes to our friends at Crescent
City in Crescent City, California. Mr.
Rice, Mrs. Bachmann, and friends at
Redwood Elementary School. Thank you for
making us part of your day. Go on out.
Make someone smile today. I'll see you
again next time. Let's make it tomorrow,
shall we? I'm Koi Wire and we are CNN
head.
