I just want to go back to this video. We just got into CNN in the
last several minutes just to highlight really the clearest image yet
that we have where you can see the the balloon is popped, essentially
it's it's destroyed and then just below it or you can clearly see
what appears to be that surveillance equipment dropping very quickly
into the Atlantic Ocean weren't. I suppose that gives the military,
the Pentagon some hope that what they are hoping to retrieve out of
the Atlantic is salvageable.
And may offer some clues as to what the Chinese were up to.
Absolutely. That video is pretty incredible. And it it seems to make
clear it's it's not that close, but it's good enough quality that it
seems to make clear that the missile hit the balloon itself, as
opposed to the payload below it. That's where the interesting part
is. The surveillance equipment, the technology, that's what the US
wants to get its hands on. And this video seeming to to to show that
that payload, as it fell, was at least mostly intact.
