erin burnett out front starts right now. out front next. get international help to come here, now! this is really, really like bad, worse than hell. >> hundreds of thousands homeless and hungry in the philippines. plus a newtown cop says the massacre still haunts him, why his bosses want him fired. and the nfl player at the center of a bullying controversy defends his action. >> the week before this went down, jonathan martin texted me on my phone. i will murder your whole f-ing family. let's go out front.

walking against the rising tide the hundreds of thousands fighting for survival after a historic superstorm. good evening. i'm erin burnett. a plea for help. hundreds of thousands in the philippines desperately fighting to survive. they're searching for food and water, the basics needed to survive. in the aftermath of the devastation left by superstorm typhoon haiyan, here's what we know. as many as 10,000 are feared dead. honestly nobody knows right now. decomposing bodies are everywhere. people walking down the streets covering their faces because of the smell, in the fields, under water, bodies. more than 600,000 displaced after swaths of cities and towns were utterly destroyed. many still don't have any kind of communication or power making hunger grow. aid workers have been trying to get in emergency supplies including food and water and

desperately needed fuel. the problem is transportation is almost impossible, and they haven't been able to get that to anybody. a city of a quarter of a million people. that's your our paula hancocks is out front tonight. i know it was difficult for you to get there, to get around. what's the latest? >> reporter: well, erin, it's been a very miserable night since the storm. torrential rain is making a very situation even worse. many people don't have homes. they are sleeping out in the open in this torrential rain. a very difficult situation. we drove just down the road toward the city and were surprised by what we saw. now you may find some of these images quite disturbing, the pictures of this kind of natural disaster are really quite shocking. this sign refers to a very

different time. now all the that greets visitors is devastation. three days on since the storm itself, there are stilled abouties by the side of the road. now we can't show you the faces of these bodies, as it's just too graphic. you can still see the terror as the wave hit on the faces of these bodies. and they're still here three days on. some of them are crudely covered. others are just open and have blackened skin from the sun. now the officials say that they're looking after the living, which is what you would understand, but they have to get rid of the bodies. this is a health issue for those people living and trying to survive around here. the stench is overpowering. and of course they have to start considering disease. this is the tacloban convention center. we're told by the locals that a lot of people came in here to try to protect themselves from the storm. but, as you can see, the water reached the second story.

and the locals say anybody that was on the ground floor not expecting this storm surge simply didn't make it. many residents used this school as a shelter from the storm, but the water engulfed it. this resident says a lot of children died in here, only a few managed to survive. no one knows how many lost their lives. down the road, a public well is being put to use. >> right now we don't have enough water, even though we are not sure that it is clean and safe, we still drink for it because we need to survive. >> reporter: we see two trucks in two hours making their very slow way into the city at the heart of the devastation. many people are asking us why the bodies weren't removed. they said they have daily reminders of the hell they've been through already. they don't need to see the bodies in the area where they

are trying to live. >> incredibly powerful to see that. and that woman there, i mean, it seems to say it all. we're drinking the water because it's all we have. even though you know with all those bodies they could be risking their lives in doing so. our second look out front is to look at the devastation. the u.s. moving an aircraft carrier and other navy ships to the philippines to assist with the rescue efforts. american marines are on the ground. a very long and historic relationship between the u.s. and the philippines. three days after surviving one of the strongest storms in recorded history, hundreds of thousands are still trying to grasp, when you saw this picture a moment ago, these were homes and buildings and schools and now everything is gone. completely. cnn's anna choron is out.

>> reporter: above the vast blue sea that separates the thousands of islands that make up the philippines, a rescue mission is under way. we're traveling with the military to a remote group of islands devastated by super typhoon haiyan yet to be reached by authorities. from the air, we can see the carnage, home after home, village after village. nowhere has been spared. on the ground lie the injured with broken bones and internal bleeding. they've been waiting for days for a medical evacuation. >> i haven't seen anything like this before. i, i thought i'd only seen this on television. >> reporter: there's a real sense of desperation here on the ground while the focus is on the sick and the injured and getting them to safety. the people of this hard-hit island need food and fresh water. they've been without it for days. and despite assurances from the government, it is yet to arrive. the problem facing authorities is logistics.

getting the supplies to these hard-hit and remote areas and to the people who need it. this airfield has become the staging ground for the country's biggest relief operation. c c-130s fly in. >> i'm in shock. i'm so sorry. >> a lot of people are dead. our friends are dead. some of our family members are dead. so it's really devastating. >> reporter: as the death toll grows by the day, families here desperately wait for news of their loved ones. >> i am the only survivor of the family. and you want to know if they are still alive. >> reporter: having had no contact since the typhoon hit, many say hope is all they can hold onto. >> it looks like it's pouring rain where you r and you're talking about it being almost

impossible for rescuers to get in. how is this additional rain hurting things? >> reporter: yeah. we had an idea that it was coming, but it is now pouring. it's only going to hamper the relief operation that is under way. people desperately need food, clean water and medical supplies and shelter. speaking to the military today they said this is definitely going to slow things down. and that is not good. these people in these hard-hit areas need these supplies yesterday. so really, it could be days, erin before they actually receive, receive that much-needed aid. >> thank you very much. and of course to our paula hancocks too. we're going to continue our coverage of the typhoon in the devastated philippines. we're going to go live to show you what happened when rescue workers tried to go in so you

can see why the scale of the loss of life here could truly become unprecedented and what it would be like it a similar storm hit the united states, because a storm like this made sandy look like a tiny little speck. plus a police officer who responded to the newtown massacre believes he has post-traumatic stress disorder, and his becauses think he should be fired. a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. he'll start investing early, he'll find some good people to help guide him, and he'll set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade. it's just common sense. if yand you're talking toevere rheuyour rheumatologistike me, about trying or adding a biologic.

this is humira, adalimumab. this is humira working to help relieve my pain. this is humira helping me through the twists and turns. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for over ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. for many adults, humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira , your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores.

our third story out front, ripple effects from sandy hook. it's been 11 months since children were killed. and now an officer says he's still too traumatized to go back to work. because he suffers from ptsd and not a physical wound, his job is in jeopardy. >> reporter: for officer tom beene, the massacre at sandy hook elementary left him on long-term disability, but not because he was hurt physically. what is your diagnosis? >> ptsd. >> reporter: that was the last thing on his mind that day. he dropped everything when he heard the call for help at sandy hook. he came face-to-face with the horror of seeing the bodies of 20 children and six adults. some kids were still trapped when he got there. >> nothing can prepare you for,

for that. you know, you got teachers and students running out of a school. the worst possible scene you can think of, that they killed me inside. >> reporter: when the school was cleared, officer beene broke down in tears. and that night he drank, a lot. in the days that followed, things quickly got worse. >> i had to stop at the store, and that's when i realized that i was deep, deep trouble. i looked at everybody this that store like they were going to kill me. i could not get out of that store fast enough. consider describing himself in a fog, he thought about hurting himself. >> i was sitting there with a razor blade wanting to kill myself. i didn't want to kill myself, but i wanted to feel something.

i, i had no feeling, no sensation, nothing. >> reporter: after six months, beene was put on long-term disability. then the letter from the police chief confirmed he was permanently disabled and the chief suggested possible termination. in connecticut one of the problems is this, workers comp does cover physical injuries but not mental health care including post-traumatic stress. and a bill that would have made that possible didn't get very far in the legislature this year. the city told him they could only afford to pay him two years of long-term disability because that's the length of their policy despite a police contract that covers the 12 years until he retires. but if he had lost an arm or leg he says he could recover with full medical coverage. >> those who responded did their job. they lived up to their end of the contract. >> reporter: connecticut is one of a few states that doesn't

cover ptsd. potentially expensive, yes, but unless that changes, some say there may be dangerous consequences. >> the last thing you ever want is a first responder getting ready to enter a situation, thinking to themselves, jeez, i wonder what long-term harm this is going to do to me. >> now you talk about potentially expensive. how much money would they be out for if they paid for everything? >> in this particular case, until he reaches retirement, we're talking about $350,000, because it's about 12, 13 years before he retires. >> so significant amount of money some might say. others would say, look, this is just a mental injury as opposed to a physical one. what does the chief of police say? >> i reached out to him several times. i didn't hear anything back. >> nothing at all? susan candiotti, thank you very much. and we look forward to your

feedback on that piece. in time for the holidays, amazon reaching a deal with the u.s. postal service that will have packages delivered on sundays. good for the postal service, amazon and you? or too good to be true. >> reporter: imagining you ordering a back panel and having it on monday morning. teaming up for sunday delivery. for other amazon shoppers, it will be offered at no additional cost. so standard shipping rates will apply. it starts this sunday in the new york and l.a. areas. amazon says it may expand to dallas, new orleans, houston and phoenix next year. it turns up the heat on amazon's competitors. ups doesn't deliver on sunday. fed ex has limited options. now this gives the postal

service a nice piece of business. because package delivery is more profitable than first class mail delive delivery. they have talked about scaling back mail delivery. this holiday season, every second count. there are six fewer h eer shopp days. about half the year's profits come between thanksgiving and christmas. cnn, new york. >> amazing. half the profits in those few weeks. still to come, our coverage of the typhoon continues. a special report, a cnn correspondent in the eye of the storm in tacloban ends up saving a family who was also in the eye of the storm. and an out front

our fourth story out front, not quite bonnie and collide, a florida couple facing channels for a bank robbing spree. the couple there used disguises to rob more than a dozen banks in the past year. out front tonight david mattingly. people look back on bonnie and colli clyde. how did this couple pull this off for so long? >> they are a married couple. they live in tampa, florida. and authorities say they followed a pretty simple formula for ripping off banks. take a look at this map here that shows they weren't working very far from home in most cases. most of the bank robberies

occurring in the i-4 corridor there between tampa and orlando. just a couple others in central florida. two others in alabama. but the way they would do it, mr. williams would go into the bank wearing disguise. he would hand a note to the teller saying i have a gun, be quick, give me the money. then he would take the money, get out of there. and according to agents, he went to a wagt car that possibly was driven by mrs. williams. now every time they did this, they left behind some little piece of electronic evidence that was able to give agents the path to this arrest that they made last week. and what they were doing, they were looking at surveillance cameras not just inside the banks but at businesses outside the banks as well. on one of those cameras, they saw mr. williams running from the bank to a waiting vehicle. they were then able to track that vehicle and match it to photos that were taken at a tollbooth on the florida

turnpike. so all these little bits finally add up to seal the deal. they were also able to look at cell phone tower records to find out that the couple had been using their cell phones in areas where these banks were also being robbed. they then put them under actual surveillance and found out that their movements and their whereabouts also were coinciding with the bank robberies. so one thing led to another here as they follow this spree that dates back to last december. >> they were able to get away with it for so long. it seems like it harkens back to the past. and still ahead, the latest from the philippines. we're going to go back to the scene, the special report of one family's life saved in the eye of the storm. and how prepared is america in

welcome back to the second

half of out front. some grim news on obama care tonight. fewer than 50,000 people have successfully enrolled in the health insurance plan. a spokes woman declined to confirm those numbers. but a spokesperson says the final data is being prepared. it's unclear whether the applicants intend to enroll. the numbers are a bit of a scary indicator. the target by the end of november was 800,000 fully enrolled. well, today the u.n. making an agreement with iran. the problem managed access is not clear, unfettered access. some are questioning iran's agenda, including senator lindsey graham. he tells candy crowley he

doesn't trust the nation's leaders on this. >> we believe that sanctions and military force is the only thing that's going to bring the iranians to the table. >> john kerry will hold a meeting and set new guidelines. blindfolded and allege lid murdered. the bride may have blindfolded her husband before pushing him off the cliff. it's unclear why he would have agreed to be blindfolded. she says she pushed him accidentally off the cliff. the blindfold theory hardly seems plausible. they want the case dismissed. the devastation beyond belief in the philippines. hundreds of thousands searching for food and water after the

biggest storm recorded in history. as many as 10,000 are feared dead. but given the lack of access to so many areas at this point it is virtually impossible to give you a full number. we can tell you at least 600,000 are displaced. the storm left a path of destruction which stretches across the entire island nation. we are at the tacloban. what's the latest there? i know it's been raining a bit and obviously it's tuesday morning where you are. >> reporter: that's right. tuesday morning. and it has absolutely been pouring for the last 12 hours or so which has complicated everything. it slows everything down. and time is something that the people here just don't have. at the airport here it's absolute devastation right here. a lot of people, hundreds of people are here at the moment.

most of them are trying to get out. a lot of them are coming here just to get some food and freshwater. that's the key at the moment. food and freshwater. it has been a nightmare for the residents of this region, of this coastal strip for the past four days. take a look at how things have unfolded. overnight, a weakened haiyan still carrying winds of more than 90 miles per hour battered the coast of vietnam and china. just after it hit the philippines with apocalyptic force. the massive storm stretching 300 miles wide smashed through cities with its close to 200-mile-per-hour winds. it swept ships onto land. a quarter of a million people are left homeless. a half-mile from the shoreline

where our cnn crew was sheltering the water was waist-deep. we helped rescue a family. >> get help to come here, not tomorrow! now! this is like, really, really bad, worse than hell. >> reporter: the aftermath a humanitarian crisis of enormous scope. >> it's a great human tragedy. >> reporter: a roof was ripped off a building where many people were sheltering. >> i've not spoken to anyone who has not lost someone, a relative or someone close to them. >> reporter: officials estimate that most of the housing was damaged or destroyed. the u.s. is flying in supplies for thousands. >> we will help them in their need. >> reporter: and in the hard-hit city of tacloban, storm victims rush to the airport desperate for supplies.

one city received a batch of canned food and rice sunday, but delivering aid to the many other remote communities is a huge challenge. communications is severed. the only functioning medical facility can't admit anymore patients. thousands break into grocery and hardware store, increasingly desperate for food and water. haiyan leaving an entire city on edge. >> and just watching that and watching some of the koshlcover paula hancocks was showing how horrible it was with the bodies and the stench, how bad do you think this is going to get? being how difficult it is to get aid, given the bodies and the e

decompositi decomposition, the water. >> reporter: i've been speaking to the red cross about this. and that is their biggest fear, that there are still bodies everywhere. there are so many places that we haven't heard from. we don't know what's going on there, what sort of destruction's been caused up and down the coast. the red cross has been saying to me, bodies are still pretty much everywhere. we came from the airport yesterday. and we saw dozens of bodies. so that is the biggest fear. yes, there could be another wave. it's going to be difficult to establish for some time i suspect how many people we are talking about. it's important to remember, a lot of the residents of this area were told to evacuate before the storm came. they are used to severe weather here. many did heed those warnings, but many didn't, either. they didn't see a problem. but nobody, nobody thought about the damage, the devastation that would be caused by the storm

surge made by the wall of water. and that's what the killer has been. all along this strip there is complete devastation. we don't know what is under that devastation yet, if there are bodies still there. that becomes the real high risk area. disease, and disease can sweep through here very, very quickly. that is why supplies are so critically desperate. and that is why we keep on talking about this, getting supplies and starting to meet the desperate needs of these people. >> andrew, thank you very much. all right, well, our sixth point out front is what if haiyan hit the united states. when you look at the scope here, you can't imagine what this would be like. the united states, something like hurricane sandy or katrina are seen as so horrific -- they were, but they pale in comparison to this one. 10,000 feared dead. if you put haiyan and put it on the coastal united states as you see stretching from canada down

to florida. look at the damage this has done on an unprecedented scale. so what if a super typhoon like haiyan hit the united states? to give you an idea, as i showed you, that was the super imposed image. but when you talk about some of these wind speeds, 235 miles per ho hour, that's a category five. katrina hit much, much weaker than that. i guess the question is, the united states, is it prepared? >> no. that's the simple answer. because it's almost impossible to imagine being prepared for something like this. we've been trying to figure out the true scope of a storm like this all day long. just imagine if this had hit florida down here, effectively stretching from one end to the other. what might be affected. well, housing and businesses for starters. about 19 million people live here. there are more than 400,000

businesses. the aerospace industry is huge. tourism, all of that gets affected. beyond that, the port of miami is massive the one of the busiest in the nation. it handles more than half of all cargo coming to or going to latin america and the caribbean. it is the busiest port on the planet for cruise ships, air travel. miami moves more cargo than any other airport this side of the earth. we're only talking about miami here. agriculture. florida is a huge producer of citrus, but it also turns out more than a billion dollars of other vegetables and livestock. add this up and you're talking about $735 billion worth of production a year. giving this state the fourth largest economy in the nation. and every bit of that, if you had a storm this big come through would be and could be

effective. >> totally destroyed. what about the numbers of the dead? you heard andrew report, a lot of people did evacuate because they're used to storms, but not of this strength. we're talking 10 thousand plus. i would imagine people would think that couldn't happen, but it could. >> look at hurricane katrina. people were warned, and yet people were caught in it. look at the state of florida and see what would happen here. if you had a storm like this come in, and let's say everything 45 feet above sea level or below was flooded in some fashion by either torrential rains or storm surge coming up, look what happens to the state of florida in terms of how much land mass gets affected. all of this goes under water at some point. and even if the waters recede and it comes back this is wreckage, wreckage, wreckage. it's unbelievable the damage that would be done if this

happened, erin. there's no question you should try to evacuate people. there would be huge haus loss o life. and even if you could get everybody out, would you end up with these counties completely under water. would you have more than 11 million people with no home, no businesses, no roads. and this would be a national catastrophe, even in one of the wealthiest countries of the world if a storm that size came and hit florida. >> that puts it in perspective. thanks very much to you, tom foreman. when you think oh, this is happening somewhere else. no. it could happen here. be sure to stay tuned. anderson 360 is going to be live from manila with the latest on the rescue efforts.

still to come, the nfl player accused of racism and bullying. he speaks out for the first time, saying he was harassed too. and yes, the scandal grows around the mayor of toronto. i got this.

wow...look at you. i've always tried to give it my best shot. these days i'm living with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. at first, i took warfarin, but i wondered, "could i up my game?" my doctor told me about eliquis. and three important reasons to take eliquis instead. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three... unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk

if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i've got three important reasons to up my game with eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

our seventh story out front, just moments ago the owner of the miami dolphins spoke out. they play their first game without incognito and martin. and they held a press conference a few moments ago. what did they say? >> reporter: i can tell you what, erin, having the owner go on the road and hold a press conference before monday night football gives you a scope of how big this story has become. the big news is that the owner will meet with jonathan martin face-to-face on wednesday at an undisclosed location, but he says he really wants to get to the bottom of this situation. he wants to hear jonathan marten's side of the story. he says the two have been communicating over the past week

via text message that he cares about him not only as a football player but as a man. he described this whole situation how embarrassed he is by it but as a nightmare. >> one thing that will not change, there will not be racial slurs or bullying in that locker room or outside the locker room. >> reporter: the big topic was what richie incognito said yesterday on fox. what he said about the way he was treated, varying opinions, but he just said bottom line, richie incognito, that he let a lot of things in that locker room with jonathan martin go too far. >> it sounds like i'm a racist

pig and a meat head, and i'm not. i'm a good person, my actions were coming from a place of love. >> now, obviously, we heard from a lot of people, the one we have not heard from is jonathan martin himself. fox sports reports he will not sit down to do an interview, but will do a video message. >> thank you very much, and there were threats to kill him and his family, so so many questions about what really happened here. and our next story, oh, canada, until recently you were best known for the good life, things like maple syrup, and if they took a shower and got exfolia exfoliated, what would come out. now this. >> yes, i have smoked crack cocaine, but no, am i an addict? have i tried it?

probably in one of my drunken stupors. >> he said, quote, i'm not going anywhere, mean, i'm not leaving my job. bill weir, great to have you here. >> thanks for having me in, when i saw this story i thought i was -- i was barely unpacked. i thought, we have to go here. head to the northern neighbors, get to know some people and see how many layers there are in this whole onion yarn, and learn how he could get re-elected. >> reporter: you know, it is hard to find politicians that are funnier than the comedians who mock them. but then, rob ford is unlike any politician anywhere. >> i was very, very inebriated. >> reporter: and it is all the

more visible because this is canada, a place where one assumes that crack has to do with hockey. >> is crack maple flavored. >> reporter: and walking into toronto city hall, there are no metal detectors here, no security, you can go right in and go past the baby-sitting visiting records, oh, and just a few feet away they're giving away free health care, even to pesky americans. >> so you're from the states, right? >> yes. >> how much would you pay if you went to your own doctor for a few shots. >> 75 bucks. >> reporter: see, while we're shocked at their mayor, this guy is shocked we pay for shots. >> canadians are far superior human beings. have you heard that today? until we look up there. >> reporter: so how did a guy

like him get elected in a place like this? well, in the late '90s, the bursting metropolis observed the blue collar suburbs into city elections. after a decade as a blue run, rob ford would show the bicycle-loving, free-spending liberals a thing or two. but while he stayed on message, it was a messy campaign. >> our candidate, candidate ford at the time had been caught on tape having a conversation with a drug addict where he was prepared to go by drugs. >> reporter: even she was stunned when after every scandal, the polls went up. >> people were tired of a tax and spend mayor, they wanted him in. >> he is the guy you want to have a beer with? >> or a few. >> reporter: and while mayor mccrack turned city hall into a global punch line, just imagine

what it is like to be rob ford's runner up. >> that was at the highest moment of the tea party. >> reporter: his name was george smitherman, and in 2010, he was known as the openly gay premier, with a plan to modernize the health care system. sound familiar? yeah, they even used one of the same contractors, cgi that brought us healthcare.gov. >> the right wing will probably tell you there is a conspiracy and a billion dollars went missing. none of that is true. >> reporter: now, here is the bizarre part, when smitherman admitted to a drug addiction, his supporters pounced. >> they stood in line and asked me personal questions. >> reporter: but some of the proud supporters, fitness for office is a relative term. would you vote for him again if this all blew over? >> i think so he has done what

he said he would do. >> reporter: although some wished to voice their support anonymously. >> would you rather have somebody taking our money and lying to the people or just having somebody smoke crack. >> reporter: but back in the city, the frustration runs high. >> he should say now, good-bye, i'm sorry and go home. >> reporter: there are sober ca calls for his exit on the top national news cast, and tears from the federal finance minister. >> he will have to -- the mayor will have -- at the end of the day, he has to make his own decision. >> reporter: he is only leaving office on a stretcher or in cuffs? >> i think so. >> reporter: toronto police could soon release more damning video or wire tap related to his friend and driver now accused of drug dealing. there was the famous photo, two shot in march, one about to go on trial. >> they were suspected members
