combined.12300:06:06,100 --> 00:06:09,639Disasters are important notjust because they represent12400:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,646extreme cases, but also becausein looking at them closely,12500:06:14,670 --> 00:06:19,219we learn to recognise conditionsthat are always present,12600:06:19,220 --> 00:06:20,633but difficult to perceive.12700:06:21,568 --> 00:06:23,739And I wanna suggestthere's a kind of disaster12800:06:23,740 --> 00:06:25,979in slow motion taking place12900:06:25,980 --> 00:06:28,623in American communitieseverywhere today.13000:06:31,061 --> 00:06:32,395[Judith] Thatwas what was

weather.14200:07:13,980 --> 00:07:16,253This disaster was man-made.14300:07:20,730 --> 00:07:22,999And that's about whenI started to question14400:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,827our very definition of disaster.14500:07:26,828 --> 00:07:29,995(slow, serious music)14600:07:41,020 --> 00:07:44,629[Announcer] The sun is cookingthe center of the country.14700:07:44,630 --> 00:07:47,012All week,roads
