60 Minutes (US) S56E28 - Children of War / Nvidia / Crisis at Pearl Harbor
Summary:
CHILDREN OF WAR – Correspondent Scott Pelley reports on America's children of war, often overlooked, who live with disabled military veterans. Millions of American youth across the country navigate complex childhoods, witness the emotional and physical impact of service on wounded warriors and help the veteran and their families through hard times. Pelley speaks with Senator Elizabeth Dole, who created a foundation to support military caregivers, and two families of U.S. veterans who have carried the burden of America's post-9/11 wars. Aaron Weisz and Ian Flickinger are the producers.
NVIDIA – One of only five companies to ever surpass $2 trillion in stock market value, computer chip maker Nvidia ushered in the artificial intelligence revolution with its groundbreaking software and graphics processing unit, a chip that enables AI by accelerating the processing power of computers. Correspondent Bill Whitaker meets Nvidia's CEO and co-founder, Jensen Huang, to discuss the company's innovations and the rapidly expanding range of AI applications, including drug development, weather pattern prediction and more. Marc Lieberman and Cassidy McDonald are the producers.
CRISIS AT PEARL HARBOR – Soon after a fuel spill occurred close to the Navy's main drinking water system at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, base leadership assured thousands of families in military housing that their tap water was safe. Parents later learned the truth: the water they drank or used to bathe their children was contaminated with jet fuel. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi tours the once secret fuel storage site where the water crisis at Pearl Harbor began and meets military families who blame their health problems on the Navy's response to the spill. Guy Campanile is the producer.
