AMERICA'S INFRASTRUCTURE

Today, we're looking at a new satellite analysis showing that the damage to America's military bases struck by Iran is far worse than originally admitted.

The term 100-year flood is misleading, it does not mean once per century. It means a 1% chance every year, which compounds over a lifetime. Engineers are abandoning the term because it gives the public a false sense of safety. Risk accumulates with time, a 1% annual chance becomes a 20% change over 30 years.
