2. Bill Nye has made science understandable
to a lot of young people. As I can see from his last comment on the end of the video, he's still trying to make sure that engineers and scientists get respect for their work, he probably senses that this situtation will worsen the public's view of applied technology.

Nice guy, I met him once in Seattle.

The Dkos diary has more graphics:

On edit: the guy who came up with this idea wrote to the emergency response people some time ago, and was basically brushed off.
