breaking news we have been following all morning here, now, this is out of philadelphia. this is a building that has collapsed. the city's fire chief confirms that two people are being rescued from that building right now. could be many more trapped inside. it is an active search and rescue. firefighters just desperately going through that rubble. now, this happened at the corner of 22nd and market streets. this is a very very busy intersection of the city. and the fire commissioner, lloyd ayers, described what happened earlier this morning. let's listen. >> what we have is a demolition, an active demolition going on. we are in search and rescue. we have recovered a total of 12 people at this time. they have all been transported as class 3s, which means they have minor injuries to being

stable. >> i want to bring in our sarah hoye who's on the phone actually on the ground there. sarah, set the scene for us if you will what you have seen so far this morning. >> so far it's been a pretty active seac active scene here. you have a large amount of fire trucks and personnel. a perimeter has been set up to keep people out of the number of blocks around this area. police are asking people to stay out of the area to allow people to do their work. two people are still trapped they're working on. they do not have a definitive number as to how many people are still in the building or underneath rubble. so they are working diligently. that call came in around 10:45 this morning. fire trucks are there very, very quickly. and i believe michael said earlier as well there is a fire department two doors down from this building collapse. it was pretty chaotic this morning. speaking with witnesses on the scene who didn't even see the building collapse however they felt it and they heard it. some people did think it was something along the lines of a terrorist attack. there was a mix of panic however people seem to be calming down

as information is trickling out. >> i understand, sarah, they have told the news helicopters to stay away, they're very concerned about vibrations in the area. they've asked people to be quiet in the area so they can actually hear cries or sounds from underneath the debris. can you give us a sense of whether or not people are actually listening and abiding by some of the guidelines that they're trying to set in that neighborhood? >> yes and no. so you do have a helicopter that is circling around right now at this moment. i can't tell if it's police or media. there are times when the neighborhood does get a little quiet, however it is lunchtime here. so people are coming out of buildings, people are first learning about this news. so it's taken a bit to pass the message along to keep things quiet. however, i will say that this is a very busy area. and it is significantly quieter than it would be on a regular business day. >> and what are you seeing where you are from your vantage point? can you describe it? >> there's a lot of movement. you have the salvation army disaster services trucks here,

you have a few other city of philadelphia trucks here. like i said, a large number of fire trucks. also, there are a number of canine units on the scene. some are coming, some are going. there are people in military fatigues also walking with canine animals. the police chief is passing me right now going back to brief some of his officers. it's a very active scene. there's police line, yellow tape, many, many spectators, lots of cell phones. people try to take witness of this. it's somewhat chaotic still. >> and, sarah, we do know that there are 12 injured, minor to stable condition that people have been taken to at least three area local hospitals, two people are still in that debris. is there any evidence of people being pulled away or being brought into ambulances and being treated on the scene? or has that pretty much died down? >> not from my vantage point. if there is, i can't see it. i did see earlier law

enforcement breeze through somewhat of a structure -- not a -- kind of a makeshift -- not makeshift but items to carry someone around, but you can't tell where somebody's going or working on somebody specifically. however, we know there are two people still entangled in debris they're working on. >> sar rarks i want to get back to you shortly. i want to bring in the owner of liberty bar and grill. mike, i understand you were in the basement at the time this happened? >> yes. i was in the basement. >> describe what you saw and heard. >> we heard a crash and some fire trucks started pulling up all over the place. we were getting ready to open up. started evacuating everybody from all the buildings surrounding the area. >> where is the bar and grill in relation to this thrift store? >> we're across the street and two buildings away. >> and what are you seeing now? >> well, they just found a body in the back and they took it out

and put it on a stretcher. but the firemen are digging out brick by brick. it's a lot of bricks. it's like a huge wall. totally collapsed and flattened the salvation army. >> mike, i know it might be difficult to talk about, but when you talk about a body, are you talking about somebody who looked like they were still alive? or did it look like -- >> i could not tell. they were rushing them out. they were rushing the body out, put it on a stretcher and trying to get that person i guess to the hospital. >> uh-huh. when did you see this? >> about like ten minutes ago. >> was it from the rear of the building or the front of the building? >> the rear. it was from the rear. >> did it look like they were treating the individual? or do you have any sense of what they were doing? >> no. there's a lot of people trying to get that person out as fast as possible and get them to help. >> mike, i'm going to ask you to speak up a little bit if you can. >> sure. sure. >> i know you are there, your

eyes and ears, we need your help on this one. is there anybody in the rear of the building? does it look like they were searching? >> they're still digging out. the fire department's still digging out brick by brick. they're doing a lot of work. they're doing a lot of work to find out if there's anybody else in the basement. >> can you tell if it's just the fire department? does it look like neighbors or volunteers are trying to help out? or does it look like this is pretty much cordoned off? >> everything is cordoned off, like a two to three-block area. >> how did you know there was a problem across the street? how did this -- how were you alerted? >> by the philadelphia fire department. >> mike, i want our viewers to know we're actually looking at live pictures now. there are an awful lot of people who are around that building. >> oh, yeah. it's scary. it's really scary. >> what did you hear? >> usually there's a lot of people in that thrift store every day. and there's a bus stop right on

the side of the building. if you look at the cnn guy's in the orange shirt, that's like a bus stop right there. i can imagine the bricks just flying down, everything just fell like a domino effect. >> you said that wall was rather large. >> that wall was about two stories higher than the army store. >> hello? >> hello? >> mike, you're still on the line here with cnn. >> yes, i'm here. >> stay with us if you will. you said there still looks like a pretty earnest, maybe a frantic search for people. can you describe what people are doing at the thrift store inside? >> the fire department is digging out brick by brick like a chain gang going on ting to get everything out of there. still searching. >> uh-huh. and how can you see this? are you elevated? where are you exactly? >> i'm in the front of my store, my bar.

>> is that on the first floor? >> yes. street level. >> and, mike, is there any other activity you see from the front? >> no. just trying to dig out that building as fast as possible. >> is it relatively calm in the neighborhood? >> it's a lot of stuff going on right now. got red cross, emts, fire department, police department. >> all right. well, mike, we're going to get back to you. obviously you have a good vantage point there. we're going to get back to you on some of the details. but i want to bring in our own don lemon who also knows the area, knows the neighborhood, knows this particular building very well. don, we're looking at live pictures here and it does look like there are a lot of people going in and out of this building. mike just told us it appeared that they at least brought out someone. we're not quite sure what the condition of that person is. what can you tell us?

don, can you hear me? don't yet have don lemon on the line. let's do a reset here. this is 22nd and market street, this is in the heart of philadelphia. this is a thrift store. there is where there's an active search and rescue that is taking place. so far we know that there are 12 people who have been injured by this building collapse that happened about 10:43 this morning. these injuries are we're being told minor injuries to stable, that there are still two people that are inside of that thrift store. one of them -- one individual that they were talking to at least that is the last report from officials, but we just heard from mike, a witness who's on the scene, says he saw somebody being taken out from the back of the building. i want to go to a witness here who is describing just what it

was like, the sound of this collapse. listen. >> they were knocking down a building, a three-story building. and what happened was the building collapsed the wrong way and it landed on a thrift shop. and there was people inside of the thrift shop before the building collapsed you saw one person walk in. so it was scary. what happened next is i dropped my stuff and i tried to help people out. there was a wooden roof covered with metal. and we pulled people out. we ended up getting two people out. i personally did. there was four or five people that were found within the first ten, 15 minutes. >> wow. >> after that they told everyone that was from the street, the first responders told us to leave once the fire engines came. >> were people yelling? what was the just emotional state at the time? did it look as though people were severely injured? >> there was -- well, what happened when the building

collapsed was there was people standing on the corner that was right next to the thrift shop. the building was like it had really big aftershock on the ground. you felt it shake. there was people that actually fell over. people started screaming, they ran across the street. there was people inside the building, you heard them scream. and then we went over to the building. we said, you know, can you hear us, can you hear us, say something. and we tried to find the people. >> you said we. how many other people were coming to the aid of those? >> there was construction workers nearby, probably 10, 15 construction workers. and after ten or 15 minutes they told us to leave and the first responders, the firefighters, came. after five minutes the fire company right down here came, maybe even shorter. and they came and they worked alongside with the construction workers and i and other people from the street. >> how are you feeling now that you've just had a minute to kind of take this in? you instinctively went in to help people and your life could have been in danger?

>> i'm just happy i made the right decision to try to help people. that's -- you know, i'm healthy, i'm young, i can try and help someone. i know there's a lot of older people that shop at that thrift store. >> i was going to ask you, describe the ages of some of the people you saw in there that you were helping. >> they were all above 50 except maybe one lady that we pulled out. she might have been in her mid-30s. they were all shopping. there was actually like clothes that you could see against the wall and stuff. >> and how long before officials arrived in terms of how long you and some of the other construction crews were helping to pull some of these people out of the debris? >> the first fire company arrived three to five minutes after. and then afterwards no one showed up for another ten minutes or so. and then there was a lot of people, firefighters, and they came. and then they told all of the

people from the street that were trying to help to leave. >> how many people were you successfully able to pull out of the rubble? >> personally, i pulled out -- helped pull out two. there was five people that had been pulled out after the first ten minutes that were seen. there was two other people that were seen afterwards. and then there was a big pile of bricks. and they believe that there might have beeople ithere. so the firefighters told us to leave. they did -- i believe what they have is an infrared scanner to scan to try to find people's body heat. >> did you instantly know this was a situation of a building collapse? or was there ever a thought this might be something bigger than that? >> well, i knew that someone came in, walked in, and they've been doing construction on that building for three or four weeks now. >> and you walk by there many times. >> correct. and when the building collapsed, i knew it wasn't an abandoned building that it fell on right next to it. >> you've been listening to sound from earlier this morning.

one of the witnesses describing what took place there at that building. it is still an active search and rescue operation that is taking place there, what is being described as delicate and dangerous work. they still do not know, this according to the mayor of philadelphia, how many people potentially could be in that salvation army store. so they are trying to check the basement level we are told but also the rear and the front of that building. but you can see just the extensive damage the wall collapsing from the adjacent building onto this thrift store, this happening several hours ago. we're going to be following this story throughout the morning and the afternoon, but we also want to bring you this. there are developing stories as well, michael jackson's daughter was just rushed to the hospital. this as she was on the list to testify in her father's wrongful death trial. we're going to bring that after the break. i am an american success story. i'm a teacher. i'm a firefighter.

update. i know you're going to ask some questions, we had one of the witnesses who said he just saw what looked like a body being taken out of the building. are there any updates in terms of survivors or people they might be looking for inside? >> i'm pretty close to the scene. i asked the mayor to call in, he said he would. there was one person recovered and mayor nutter is on the phone. mayor, you said that person walked away after being under debris for hours. >> yeah. philadelphia fire department rescued her. she was buried for about two hours, she had some minor injuries. obviously transported to the hospital. we've taken now including that young lady, 13 folks to the hospital. but search and rescue continues to see whether or not there are any other individuals in the building. >> mayor, at first -- is it

still the same? >> yeah. we can't confirm how many might possibly still be in the building because unfortunately we didn't know how many people were in the store. it was an active store at 22nd and market, salvation army thrift store. so it's hard to know exactly how many people are there. we know who we've recovered and we're going to do everything we can to see whether or not there are any other individuals in there. >> mayor, the fire department is literally about two blocks away. >> it's actually a block away. it's on the same block. i think they were there in about two minutes when the alarm went out. we have a ton of personnel out here. they're doing a fantastic job. we'll continue to pray for everyone that they're safe. there's some activity going on, i need to -- i'm sorry. i'm about -- i'm away from the scene. thanks. bye-bye. >> go get the update. thank you. suzanne, you see the mayor is there on the scene.

he says he's about 30 feet away. before you came on he was talking to me about this special operations team they've put in place after 2003. and i just happened to be on the phone with him when that other person was being taken out of the rubble, or at least walking out of the rubble as you said. and i said, mayor, this is happening right now, can you get on the phone with cnn and he said absolutely but i may have to go because he's getting information from moment-to-moment. >> sure. >> it was indeed good news at least that person walked away. but still as you heard him say, suzanne, he doesn't know about any other people or person or people who may still be trapped. >> just to get this straight, don, just to be perfectly clear. so earlier in the morning the mayor said there were 12 people who were injured and it was minor injuries. really he described them as talking, conscious, awake, alert. there were two people trapped inside of the rubble in the building. since that report he is now telling you that there was this

young woman who was rescued after being in that rubble in the debris buried for two hours and he says she walked away. is that right? >> yeah. she walked away. and, you know, what you didn't hear in the break i said, probably, mayor, after a lot of praying and hey, help me. he said absolutely. she had been under there for a number of hours, at least two hours. as you heard the commissioner say, under tons of rubble. she must have been in a place where they could hear her and they could get the debris off of her, which would be the special operations team that they put together that helped get that stuff off of her. you heard him say that they have at least 38 apparatus, meaning ladder and all kinds of things and then 125 personnel and the office of emergency management is out there. all those things. >> all right. don, we're going to have to -- i'm sorry to interrupt.

we're going to finish this on the other end of the break here because there is more information that is coming in. good get on the mayor. appreciate it. we'll be right back. dad. how did you get here? i don't know.

following a breaking news story out of philadelphia. this building collapse. so far the latest update from the mayor saying 13 people have been recovered. they are all injured, we don't know of any fatalities but it is an active search and rescue operation taking place on the ground. still dangerous and delicate work to see if anybody else has survived that building collapse. we're going to give you -- bring you the very latest information as it develops there. we are also following breaking news out of los angeles. paris jackson, the 15-year-old daughter of michael jackson, has been rushed to the hospital. sources close to the jackson family say she was taken there this morning. they say right now the reason for her hospitalization is unclear. but, they tell us she is going to be okay. now, paris has pretty much stayed out of the spotlight since her father's death. but she and her brother, prince, they are expected to be called to testify at the ongoing michael jackson wrongful death

trial. we're going to update you on her condition as soon as we find out. and, the president set to announce his new go-to person at the national security foreign policy of course next hour. republicans already criticizing the choice. that is not a surprise because the president plans to name u.n. ambassador susan rice to replace the national security advisor. rice, you know, came under fire mostly from republicans over the deadly attack on the u.s. diplomatic mission in benghazi, libya. i want to bring in our wolf blitzer who joins us. first of all, wolf, it really isn't a surprise that this has come up. she withdrew consideration from becoming secretary of state because of the benghazi fallout, but most people expected that there would be some sort of appointment, some sort of position that she would get if she just waited it out a little bit. >> yeah, we certainly did. the president likes her a lot, trusts her. she was a key member of the administration in the first term. she was well-positioned potentially to become the secretary of state until that

benghazi incident. her appearance on those five sunday shows. and she was bitterly criticized by a whole bunch of republicans raising fears about a confirmation process, john kerry became secretary of state. but we always anticipated if tom donlin would leave that position, she would be the front runner and the president today in the next hour is going to make the official announcement. as you know, suzanne, she does not need senate confirmation to become the president's national security advisor. he trusts her, he likes her, that's the job she's going to get. it's a bit of a defiant statement by the president knowing that she's come under a lot of criticism from a whole bunch of republicans, but still he wants her in the job. and that's what he's got. >> talk about the person who's actually going to replace her, samantha power, we both know her well. this is somebody a very, very smart woman, an expert when it comes to genocide, but also created a bit of buzz during the campaign when she described hillary clinton as a monster who

she used to work with. >> yeah. a scottish newspaper in 2008 she was actively supporting then-candidate barack obama. and it was a bitter primary as all of our viewers out there remember for the democratic presidential nomination. at one point she called hillary clinton a monster. then she said it was off the record, but the scottish newspaper went ahead and reported it anyhow. but she's since made peace with hillary clinton. richard holbrook, a former u.n. ambassador, he made peace between samantha power and hillary clinton once she became the secretary of state. the president likes samantha power like he likes susan rice. now he wants her to go ahead and become the united states ambassador to the u.n. she will need senate confirmation for that position. >> wolf, this story getting a lot of buzz here about the first lady's response to a heckler at a fund raising event that just happened yesterday. i want you to listen at least this is what was captured at if

fundraiser. >> we have an obligation to stand up for those kids. and i don't care what you believe in, we don't -- wait, wait -- sir, one other thing that i don't do well is this. [ applause ] so let me make the point that i was making before. we are here for our kids. so we must recapture the passion that same urgency and energy that we felt back in 2008. >> all right. so i want to go over the part that we couldn't really hear clearly. this is according to of course the reporters there at that event who actually wrote about it saying that the first lady told that woman she could "listen to me or you can take the mic, but i'm leaving, you

all decide. i have one choice there." and the protester was identified as ellen sturts of a gay rights organization called get eequal. this is unusual, isn't it, wolf? you usually don't have hecklers at private functions, rather intimate. clearly the first lady responded differently than her husband. how is this playing? >> the president when he was interrupted at that event a couple weeks ago by someone from code pink, he sort of engaged the heckler at the time and had a little conversation. and he was very polite and very generous, if you will. the first lady, on the other hand, she would have none of that at an event like this. she dismissed this woman completely. and of course everyone at that group other than this woman who was interrupting the first lady of the united states wanted michelle obama to continue that speech that she was delivering. and that woman was escorted out.

the bottom line in all this, suzanne, as you and i know and a lot of people know who know the first lady of the united states, you don't want to mess around with her. she is one tough lady. and she's going to have -- as she said, she's going to have none of that kind of impolite interruption. >> yeah. she's one tough cookie there. all right. wolf, good to see you as always. thanks a lot. >> thank you. >> of course we are following that breaking news story out of philadelphia, the building collapse. more details after a quick break. copd makes it hard to breathe...

and moved ambulances around to kind of block the view frft cameras, which from the past isn't always a good sign, however we don't have anything confirmed. it looks as though they are removing someone or something from this building. they are now putting down a red plastic sheet as well as a yellow plastic sheet on the ground. not sure exactly what that's going to be used for. this could mean that it might not be a happy ending for whoever's inside. however, we just do not know that at this time. however, there is a fury of law enforcement as well as fire department personnel. so there's definitely a lot of movement going on. and we'll have to wait to see. >> yeah, sarah, we actually saw some pictures of the firefighters and some of the emt guys with red plastic sheeting there. one of the things that we learned just within the last 20 minutes or so an update from the mayor, mayor nutter telling our don lemon that there was a young woman who was pulled out of the debris after being buried for

two hours. do you know anything about that? >> i have no more details on that other than what don is reporting. we are being told that they were removing somebody, very few details at this time. as i'm sure you're aware. things get whipped around this area pretty quickly here. but they are working on removing someone. so our earlier reporting was that 12 people had been transported to hospitals. they were still working to remove two. it appears as though they're still working on getting both of those two remaining out. however, even though they are working on those two, they still don't know if there's anymore left inside of that building. they just don't have an exact count. just like if you were at the mall, you don't know how many people are at the mall. they're working to remove this debris and going down to the basement. it could take quite a few hours to get the all-clear. >> sarah, we know the 13th victim that came out that the mayor talked about was taken out of the rear of the building. where does it look like most of the activity is taking place? is that out of the front of the building, the rear of the

building, can you give us a sense of where they still seem to be actively searching? >> well, they're actively searching in the front, the side and the rear from what i can see. the rear of the building actually jutted up next to another building. that's the one they were working on. it was an issue that happened with the building that they were actually having an active demo at. so then that building collapsed on to the rear of the salvation army. so what is left standing right here at this thrift store is one corner of the building, literally the front door that's facing the street. so you can see the salvation army thrift store sign and that is it. otherwise it is completely to the ground. >> yeah. sarah, we're looking at earlier pictures here, aerials. and we know exactly what you're talking about there because you can literally see there's the back portion of the building that is still standing. and then the front portion there. just the front section of the salvation army. sarah, stay with us. we're going to take a quick break. we'll get back to you as we get more information.

just learned in a quick break here that there was another person who was just pulled out of the rubble there and put into an ambulance and taken away from this thrift store, from the salvation army there. the mayor earlier reported that there were 13 people who had been injured, 12 of them with minor injuries and in stable condition. and then the mayor himself describing the fact that a young woman was taken out after being buried underneath that rubble for several hours. well, now the very latest from our affiliate wpvi reporting that there was another person who has just been pulled out from the debris, put into an ambulance and taken away. it is still an active search and

rescue scene. an operation there that is dangerous, we are told. it is delicate work. they do not know how many people were inside that store at the time of the building collapse. the building that was four stories that fell on top, one of the walls falling on top of that thrift store. so they are actively searching for people in the basement of the thrift store as well as in the front entrance, which you can see there, right there, the yellow awning. and in the back of the building in the rear of the building. they are literally lifting piece by piece, brick by brick that structure to see if there's anyone who has survived, or anyone who remains inside. we are also following another story, new details we are learning about the hospitalization of paris jackson. that is right, she is the 15-year-old daughter of michael jackson. and sources close to the jackson family say that she was rushed to a hospital in los angeles this morning.

now, one source says that this might have been a cry for help. paris tweeted out to her followers messages last night saying i wonder why tears are salty. and yesterday all my troubles seem so far away, now it looks as though they're here to stay. paris and her brother prince, they're scheduled to testify in the michael jackson wrongful death trial, that is happening later this month. we're going to update you on her condition as more details become available.

just kind of jumped the gun without full research being done at this point. chrysler, the government was working hand-in-hand on it. and it seemed as though one party just kind of moved ahead and released the information. and there's no remedy at this point. >> so what do you do? if you're one of these people who owns one of these jeeps, should you be concerned, worried, should you do something to your car? >> i would be concerned and worried. three things i would recommend to do, first thing be an advocate. call your local dealer. make sure you're registered with them, your vehicle is registered with them. these are older model grand cherokees and cherokees still out right now about 2.7 million of them. that's the first thing i would do. make sure your vehicle's registered with them so just in case something does come up and it's conclusive that there is an issue with the vehicle and there's a recall. >> sure. >> is that the dealership and chrysler has access to get in touch with you. >> okay. >> second thing i would recommend is to contact the 1-800 number we have listed on

the screen. contact them. and also make sure they have your data that's registered with them. and also make sure that they have a good understanding of what your concern is and it's documented. >> sure. >> last thing i would recommend doing is if you're still alarmed about the situation and you're scared that you may be one of these individuals who may be involved in an accident and something may occur is that you can stop driving the vehicle. that's the last thing you can obviously do. >> all right. jeff, good advice. you know, we hope this gets resolved relatively quickly. >> exactly. probably the next few weeks we should hear some resolution on where chrysler is with the government on it or could move further out than that. >> that is a lot of people. >> exactly. 2.7 million people. >> exactly. jeff, thanks. appreciate it as always. again, following a breaking news story out of philadelphia there, at least 13 people injurinjure ed in that building collapse. the corner of 22nd and market streets, it is a very busy
