Bad things that were going to happen have not happened,

For so long, not once did it happen, and now it happened — in two.

You can?t look at the charts and say because it?s never happened it?s never going to happen.

What happened down there -- 1,300 miles away -- if it were to happen here we would be not only ready for it, but we have every mechanism in place. In about a week's time, the New Jersey State Police under Rick Fuentes was able to put together a small, self-contained city that actually traveled 1,300 miles. There weren't too many situations that arose that we didn't have an answer for.

It's going to happen again. And we're not ready for it, as you can see by Katrina. ... We're going to have another Sept. 11; it's inevitable.

Could it happen? It's infinitesimal. You cannot determine whether or not that happened. The fact is, it didn't. We made contingency plans to make sure it didn't happen.
