Ted Koppel with Charlie Rose: 92NY Talks Episode 68

Dec 03, 2015

The ABC News veteran who’s won every significant TV award (including 42 Emmys) tells us that a major cyber attack on America’s power grid is not only possible, but likely. Scarier still is his revelation that the US is shockingly unprepared: the Department of Homeland Security has no plan for handling the aftermath of an attack. Join one of our most renowned journalists to examine the reality of the threat—and ways we can prepare for catastrophe, as outlined in his new book, Lights Out. The conversation was recorded on October 28, 2015 in front of a live audience at New York’s 92nd Street Y.
