41 分钟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. Scott Pelley travels to Izium, Ukraine, – one of the worst areas for landmines. He meets injured civilians, a doctor treating them, and the deminers working to clear their land, mine by mine. Bill Whitaker reports from the chaotic and high-speed racetrack of “America’s original extreme sport” - Indian Relay. As horse nation tribes unite for an exciting and dangerous bareback horse race, Whitaker looks at how the sport continues to grow and offer new opportunities of pride to the next generation of Native American youth.

Russia has sown Ukraine with millions of mines.
She threaded the grass, feeling for the slightest resistance.
The day before, another deminer had been killed.
Welcome to the 2023 Championship of Champions.
In Indian relay, as many as six thoroughbred racehorses are brought to a start.
Line drawn in the dirt.
The horses are bareback, no saddles or stirrups.
Their riders wear no protective gear.
At the sound of a horn, they leap aboard and tear down the track.
These horses are able to run like you wouldn't believe.
Leave.
