struggle when you're in the shower, a shower at 40,000 feet makes you feel less psycho. unless you hit turbulence. then, fasten your shower cap. jeanne moos, cnn, new york. >> and thanks so much for joining us. ac 360 begins right now. good evening. thanks for joining us. we have breaking news tonight from one end of the country to another. water still rising and more dams failing in the carolinas and new development in roseburg, oregon. we begin with that. late word from police there, they are paying close attention to whether the gunman's mother bears any responsibility for the shooting rampage that took nine lives at umpqua community college. they tell us they are aware of the mother's media postings and electronic window perhaps into her thinking about firearms, crime, her son and possibly his state of mind. additionally, we'll get the thoughts on all of this from, frankly, a remarkable woman who survived the shooting outside of

roanoke, virginia, a few weeks ago. that shooting, of course, caught on live television. first, sara sidner joins us from roseburg, oregon. investigators are being looking at the shooter's mom to find out if she's in any way responsible for this. >> reporter: we know they have been looking at social media posts and looking at her as part of the investigation as they would anyone who is close to the shooter. so they are looking at multiple different things, including the mother and her social media postings and his as well. anderson, they also know about 34,000 posts that are linked to his mother. >> so talk about these postings. i mean, what did the mom say about her son's mental health? >> reporter: she talk as lot on various websites, she's a yahoo! user with the name tweety bird. she's asked about guns, she talks about guns a lot and talks

about health a lot. in one of the exchanges back in 2009 she says, "i keep two full mags in my block case and the ars and aks all have loaded mags. no one will be dropping by my house uninvited without acknowledgement." we found out information about her son and his health condition. she says, "my son has asperger's. he's no bubbling idiot nor is his life worthless. he's very intelligent and is working on a career in filmmaking. my 18 years worth of experience with knowledge and asperger's syndrome is paying off." scientists have never linked asperger's with violent behavior but the shooting in sandy hook

and here at umpqua college had the syndrome and the police are looking into all of this, looking into the mother and anyone who was close to the shooter to try to get to the bottom of how this happened and if it could have been prevented. anderson. >> sara sidner, appreciate it. in just a moment, as i mentioned, a woman who knows all too well the waking moment of coming face-to-face with a killer like this one and having to heal and come to terms with it all with your story all over the headlines. less than a month and a half ago, in roanoke, virginia, a bullet came within an inch of ending vicki gardener's life. tonight, she joins us talking for the first time about the shooting in oregon and what her own experience taught her about preventing the next tragedy. as you remember, she was being interviewed by a reporter and videotaped by a cameraman when a gunman approached. we'll talk about that and why she thinks she survived. first, some background by randi

kaye. >> reporter: vicki gardener never got to finish her live interview. it happened in an instant. wdbj reporter alison parker was suddenly shot, along with photographer adam ward. neither survived. >> it is my very, very sad duty to report alison and adam died this morning shortly after 6:45 when the shots rang out. we do not know the motive. >> reporter: soon it would become clear the shooter was a former wbdj reporter who, on twitter, wrongly accused alison of making racist statements and claimed adam ward reported him to hr, though that's still unclear. the shooter filed a discrimination lawsuit against the station which was dismissed last summer. meanwhile, vicki gardener had taken a bullet to the back but survived. >> she got up and walked to the ambulance after being shot. the surgeon told me that a couple centimeters and she wouldn't be walking and she wouldn't be alive. >> reporter: before the shooting

and before taking his own life in a standoff with police, the shooter sent a fax to abc saying his plan to kill was set in motion after the charleston, south carolina, shootings, and also admired other events in columbine and aurora. he posted it on his social media account for the world to see. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> again, vicki gardener has rarely spoke about what happened to her and has never talked about this deadly incident in oregon. i spoke to her just before we went on air. vicki, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. first of all, most importantly, how are you doing? >> i am doing well. it's been over a month now and every day there's improvement. it's one of those unforeseen things that you just don't know what to anticipate every day but i'm very thankful to be here and just doing everything in my power to get up and going again.

>> i mean, you look great. obviously, physical recovery is one thing. emotional recovery is another. do you think about what happened on that day a lot? >> you know, i really don't. i have so many things -- yes, i think about it and, you know, of course it was -- it was tragic. it was something that will be in my mind forever but every single day? no. i'm trying to focus in on the things that i can use my energy for and it may not be those tragic events, of course, thinking about adam and alison, i -- my heart just goes out to the families. i think that if there's a thought that goes through my mind, it really goes out to them and their families and everyone that loved them. >> i want to ask you about what you remember and i don't want you to answer anything that you're not comfortable. so i'm going to really just

leave it up to you to say what you want and i'll just move on. >> sure. uh-huh. okay. >> how much do you remember of what went on? when this person walked up while you were being interviewed, did you see them? did you realize immediately what was happening? >> no. i most certainly didn't. this is something that your brain just doesn't process as to -- i saw someone approach. it was early in the morning. it was at a time that there really is no activity at our visitor's center and chamber and i assumed that this was maybe a maintenance person that was coming to ask questions. the person looked a little on the -- almost boxy. i can't describe that. but obviously in hindsight, when you find out that he was in full body armor, that makes sense. but just basically came up behind adam and then immediately -- i mean, that is where it became very confusing because he immediately, while

having the camera on himself and while we are on air live, that the bullets started firing. and, again, it was very difficult to say what is that. it was just very, very fast. >> you know, i've read studies of shooting situations where oftentimes people don't know at first -- i mean, they hear a shot, even if it's close, but they don't understand what it is because it's so incon gu rouse to the situation, the situation that you are in. when the shot started to ring out, did you know instantly what was going on? >> yes and no. obviously it was something -- it was, again, very fast. when the bullets started coming, when i saw the horrific results of these bullets, adam was next to me. he was right in front of me. and when he was hit, i immediately, without necessarily thinking, i don't know what caused me to react in this way

but i dropped to the ground exactly when he did. we were down on the ground side by side. i was not hit. he was. and i basically just was in a fetal position, so to speak, and i played dead. i just did everything in my power to contain myself, just to lay there in hopes that it was over and that he would think that he had accomplished his mission. he did come back. there was other things, of course, alison -- i did not see what happened to alison but he did come back. he stood over me. he shot me in the back, which i had really thought was much worse. i had anticipated that he was going to shoot me in the head. i don't know, i think he may have run out of bullets. >> i understand during the recuperation, you actually made the decision to watch the video. why was that important to you? >> yes. well, it's important because i

certainly didn't suppress my shots. i wanted them to match reality. it was certainly hard to watch. but i don't want to be guessing at it. i want to know what happened. i certainly, as in our conversation right now, it's difficult to talk about but it's something that needs to happen as part of the mental healing process. >> have you always been this strong? i mean, you are impressive. i'm not trying to butter you up. i just think your strength and determination is really extraordinary and i want to ask you about the oregon shooting. obviously when you've been through something like this, then you hear about another shooting. what goes through your mind? >> aww, that is sick. i will say, again, i was so saddened by that. my daughter, who had just flown in here from oregon, she is a teacher and certainly not at that school but she's a teacher

in oregon and to think that it happened in oregon in a school, you know, something just -- even more tragic, my goodness, where does it end? where does it end? >> you wrote an op-ed about how this whole incident has affected you, how it's changed from the ways that you look at the world today. i'm wondering, how has it changed your outlook? >> i keep seeing all of the banter back and forth and everybody wants to do the right thing, gun control laws, how can we make them better, mental health issues, how can we improve them? i just feel as while we're waiting for these things to improve in society, maybe we can all look within ourselves and look at our community and say, you know, what can we do ourselves within our family?

kids are exposed to violence that is not necessary. maybe we are desensitized to what we view on a daily basis. we are working on something that i additionally feel strong about and that is what we're calling -- i'm almost embarrassed to say this but it was named vicki's vision. but i would say it's something that is much needed in our community. it is a community center that we can all use and, again, make it stronger. >> vicki's vision, we'll put it on our facebook page. vicki gardener, thank you so much. there is breaking news out of south carolina. another dam giving way. and some incredible acts of bravery. a man does a single thing no one should do. wading into the waters without much help, a pastor putting his own body in danger in the service of souls, trying to bring back coffins that had floated away. later, donald trump gets his

is making it is way downstreams and rivers and another dam has failed. this one was in lake elizabeth. that makes 11 so far in south carolina. the death toll is also rising. it now stands at 17. at the same time, though, as we're learning how powerful and deadly these waters have been, we're hearing story after story of strength and courage in the face of it all. our gary tuchman has one such story. >> reporter: 86-year-old george has been a widower for many years. he and his dog were driving 1500 miles from his home in ottawa, ontario, to his condo on the florida west coast. he happened to be in columbia, south carolina, during the worst of the torrential rain and flooding. he pulled off the highway because the driving was so dangerous but floodwaters overtook his car and he was trapped. he was about to meet an extraordinary family. tom and julie hall were out in the floodwaters trying to make

sure neighbors were safe. tom made his way closer to see if anyone was inside and his son brice shot this video as his father made his way to the car. but minutes later -- >> i got to a point where i could see a little better and i'm waving like this and i see this little hand come out of the window and i'm like, oh, my god. that's not what you want to see. so he's waving. and that means, you know, you've got to go get him. >> i couldn't stand up. the current was too strong. it would have swept me away. >> reporter: tom called a very busy 911 but couldn't wait for help to arrive. he started to walk and paddle his arms to the car, battling the current and deep water. we went to the exact site, now dry. >> the only thing i had for safety were these tree branchs and i would grab a tree branch and walk it over and grab

another tree branch and walk it over and i was just using these tree branches to make sure my feet didn't get swept out from under me. >> reporter: and the gar wcar w over by that fence in water up to 5 feet deep, right? >> he said, leave the dog away. i said, no way. >> reporter: he's hypothermic and i didn't think 911 would get there in time. >> he could hardly strand on his own feet and now he had to drag me, too. >> reporter: you didn't think you were going to survive? >> i mean, i didn't think i was going to survive but you don't have any options. you've made a commitment and we're in it together and, you know, he said to me in the car, i'm not afraid to die. and i told him that i was and we weren't going to die. >> reporter: tom hugged george from the back. george hugged his yorkie.

they had 150 yards to go to navigate to safety. at one point, george started to float away and tom grabbed him but couldn't make the last 50 yards. it was then his wife julie and son brice came into the water and to the rescue bringing george, tom and, yes, tela, to safety. >> basically, you ensured your husband endured the survival. >> i hadn't thought about it like that but maybe so. >> we were out of energy. we couldn't go any further. >> reporter: tom and julie hall and their three sons are taking care of george for now and have quickly grown very close to him. george feels the same way. and says he will be forever grateful to tom. >> somebody saved your life. you know, really, not only mine, my dog's, too. this man is unbelievable. >> that makes me want to cry. this age of negativity where so many people are cruel to each

other, to see that is just -- i don't know. it's the best thing i've seen in a long time. what's next for george? >> reporter: it is amazing. george still wants to go to florida. he doesn't have a car anymore. he's planning to rent a car and drive with his dog to florida and this will be the last time he does this drive. as i told you, he's been a widower for many years and met a woman last year, became her girlfriend, they planned to get married and she passed away last year. he's alone. he was born in germany, left 60 years ago to go to canada. he's going back to germany where he still has family. he's planning to move there but he pledges and so does this wonderful family that they plan to stay close. >> wow. gary, thank you very much an incredible, incredible story. we've seen these last couple of days, life-saving acts of bravery like that. incredible. an act of bravery aimed at

comforting living by rescuing the dead. it happened yesterday near a cemetery. ask yourself when you watch this, what would do you? floodwaters have begun washing caskets and loved ones away. take a look. >> there are caskets that have come up out of the ground. these guys are going in to get them. why are you going in to get them? somebody's family out there. >> this is respect. we've got to respect the dead. that family's suffering. it popped out of the ground. i think it's the human thing to do. >> so you're headed out there right now? >> right this thing. >> that's wayne reeves, a pastor in somerville, south carolina. wading into the waves and there he is bringing back one of the caskets. he's not a rescue professional. however, he was a man with a job to do and joins us tonight to tell the story. pastor wayne, these coffins, when you saw that they started

to float in the water, what went through your mind? >> well, i just knew that something had to be done. here somebody's mom and dad is out here and the river was rising and they had already -- when i saw them, they had already drifted 150 yards away from the burial site and so i was concerned that they may get damaged and the family members would suffer even more. >> so how did you go about doing something? >> well, i drove up and i saw what was going on. i stopped and the first thing i did was inquire with the family members there. i asked them to notify the funeral home that had buried them to follow the procedure to get these bodies, the coffins and so then i proceeded to go into the water, solaicited help and couldn't get any. i knew the area very well. i knew what was there because i

lived up there and i walked out about 300 yards and floated the mother back and at that time a deputy came up and asked me not to go back into the water for safety reasons and that they would send out a rescue team to get the other coffin and so that's what we did. >> were you concerned at all about your own safety? because, i mean, as you said, you solicited help and other people weren't really willing to do it. >> no, i don't know what their concerns were. it didn't bother me. i'm a get it done type guy but at the time, we're americans, we watch out for people and do the right thing and this is somebody's mom and dad floating out there in the water and i was afraid that more damage would come to the corpses and the vaults if they were to open and they were going to wait for the water to come down. that would be three or four days or even weeks and at that time, who would know where the bodies would be. and out of respect for the

family and the deceased, i felt that the right moral thing to do was to go get them and bring them and secure them until the proper authorities could remove them and keep them in a safe place until such time we could rebury them. >> i think it's incredibly h honorable what you did. it's just impossible to imagine. >> most of the main arteries are closed, flooded. hundreds of homes are flooded. we're right now still in devastation. >> pastor wayne reeves, again, i just think what you did is ex a extraordinary. >> thank you for allowing me to be here. >> it seem as shame to turn the world to politics now. i'm going to turn to the target of donald trump's latest target. stewart stevens is predicting trump will drop out of the race by february 1st. also, the alleged like about

his dying son's wish, the biden campaign calling it categorically false and offensive. we got the new tempur-flex and it's got the spring and bounce of a traditional mattress. you sink into it, but you can still move around. now that i have a tempur-flex, i can finally get a good night's sleep. (vo) change your sleep. change your life. change to tempur-pedic. does your mouth often feel dry? multiple medications, a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications. but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath.

that's why there's biotene, available as an oral rinse, toothpaste, spray or gel. biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. remember, while your medication is doing you good, a dry mouth isn't. biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth. good.how was your commute? yours? good. xerox real time analytics make transit systems run more smoothly... and morning chitchat... less interesting. transportation can work better. with xerox. thank you for calling. we'll be with you shortly. yeah right... xerox predictive analytics help companies provide a better and faster customer experience. hello mr. kent. can i rebook your flight?

the republican front-runner, donald trump, claims he's looking for an exit strategy and described a scenario in which he might drop out of place. mr. trump's poll numbers have slipped a bid causing some to see those remarks and on cnn's "new day" said no way. >> i was asked a simple question by chuck todd at "meet the press" and i gave a very honorable answer and said, sure, if i'm doing terribly, i wouldn't stay in. who would stay in? but i'm not. i'm leading every single poll. one poll came out yesterday. 30 or the other day. i'm at 35% nationally. i'm not getting out. the press makes it like there's

a big story. >> donald trump would drop out of the race before the iowa caucuses before the new hampshire primary. he doesn't think trump is willing to lose. trump responded by attacking stevens on twitter saying, "in what should have been an easy victory has terrible instincts." starting twitter wars are specialties of donald trump. "the washington post" is reporting that trump has spent just $2 million on his campaign so far and do for the dispute it. stewart stevens -- stuart stevens is joining me. he's an author of "the last season." i want to give you the opportunity to respond to donald

trump, if you want, this is a familiar frame for him for everyone associated with the romney campaign, a campaign that he himself endorsed, a loser, somehow unfit. >> in sports, you need to win something before criticize those that have done that. mitt romney won a nomination, which is shg that most people don't do. a lot of people try to do. you and i and if people vote for him, if he wins and he can go out and try to talk, that's fine. but before anybody has voted for him, it seems a little silly. >> talk to me about your belief that he's going to get out before any votes are cast sew doesn't risk losing, which would certainly go against his own brand and the polls still show him leading and there's been some changes here. why would he get out if he is still leading? >> well, because he's going to lose. i mean, do you think donald

trump is going to be the next president of the united states? he's not. most people that run for president lose. it's like the super bowl. it's hard to get there if there's some believe that they can get there, they lose. >> why do you think he's going to lose? nobody thought he would get this far and he often repeats that, all of the pundits have been wrong about whether he would enter the race in the beginning, whether he would show -- you know, file papers, nobody really thought it would get this far. if you look at the iowa polls, would he be able to get nominated in new hampshire for governor? it's hard to imagine. he's unlike anybody else that's been elected there. i don't think it's going to happen. i don't think voters know a lot about donald trump and it's the easiest thing in the world and

who want to embarrass you and in fact do you think not that people are going to change their mind, those people are already in the same polls saying that they support him but the polls themselves are inherently flawed, that people on the phone, because he's so well known say trump as opposed to who in the end they are going to vote for? >> i don't think they are flawed. people are saying what they believe now but i don't think that's what they will believe on election day. it's fun to hang out with people who are having fun. donald trump has been having fun. it's fun to hang out with him. what do we know about running for president? it's the least fun experience an adult can enter into involuntarily. it won't be fun for him and i think it will be less fun to

hack o hang out with him. >> how do you think it becomes unfun for him? poll numbers drop or -- >> yeah. >> or just the grind or staying in small hotels in a different place every night, shaking so many hands? what do you think is unfun? because right now he hasn't really campaigned in the traditional sense. he tweets, which gets media coverage, calls in to television shows, gives interviews from new york but he's not like everybody else. >> i think it was very telling today that he's only spent $2 million. i think if he was out there spending 5, $10 million of his own money, you'd have to look at him as a more serious candidate. my experience with self-funded candidates, they talk about spending their own money more readily than spending it. if we wake up and donald trump has placed a 20, 30, $40 million buy, i think we'd have to

re-evaluate. i think he'd be a more serious candidate. but you're not going to be able to win this race by tweet yurg w your way to the oval office. it's not going to happen. in 2011, in april, he was getting 26% of the vote in a poll that cnn put him on. we were laughing. mitt romney said i'm losing to a guy not even in the race. so i don't think it's just a certain percentage of the people are drawn to a guy named donald trump. i don't think they will stay. >> if trump were to get out, whose race do you think this is to lose? do you think this whole outsider thing we've seen with dr. carson and trump and fiorina is going to continue? >> i think two things on this. i don't think the party will nominate someone who has not been elected to office before. i don't think we're going to see a presidential nominee in their elected office. i think that dr. carson and

carly fiorina are terrific fek for t for the party. i don't think they are going to be the nominees. the second thing to look at is, who is going to win the first four states? iowa, new hampshire, south carolina and nevada. to win in this business of getting nominated, you have to win. so coming close really doesn't matter. so who is going to win iowa? who is going to win new hampshire? and i think that in overwhelming probability that the nominee will be someone who has won one of at least of the four states. >> i can hear donald trump on a text machine right now. >> i think you'll be all right. >> it won't be the first time. just ahead, joe biden's team denying a report that the vice president actually leaked his

son's dying wish to newspaper columnist maureen dowd to test the presidential waters. hear what they are saying about it. big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what's up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on. (laugh) nice. doing the big things that move an economy. see you tomorrow, mac. see you tomorrow, sam. just another day at norfolk southern. you wouldn't order szechuan without checking the spice level. it really opens the passages. waiter. water.

so why would you invest without checking brokercheck? check your broker with brokercheck. whei just put in the namey, of my parents and my grandparents. and as soon as i did that, literally it was like you're getting 7, 9, 10, 15 leaves that are just popping up all over the place. yeah, it was amazing. just with a little bit of information, you can take leaps and bounds. it's an awesome experience.

(vo) wit runs on optimism.un on? it's what sparks ideas. moves the world forward. invest with those who see the world as unstoppable. who have the curiosity to look beyond the expected and the conviction to be in it for the long term. oppenheimerfunds believes that's the right way to invest... ...in this big, bold, beautiful world.

tonigone week from tonight, will host the first democratic presidential debate. vice president biden is grieving deeply over the recent death of his son beau and doesn't know if he's up for a presidential run. maureen dowd wrote that beau biden's dying wish was for joe biden to run for president. joining me now is cnn chief political analyst gloria borger and dan pfeiffer, who was a senior adviser to president obama. how does the push back from the vice president's office play in joe biden's timetable? >> everyone that i've talked to who considers joe biden an ally, there's a lot more pressure now for joe biden to make a decision

sooner rather than later. i'm told there's going to be a family conversation this weekend which could be conclusive and even his friends of the sympathies for you and they believe they are going to be a strong leader and they think he needs to get to that part of the message really quickly if he's going to get in. >> dan, regardless of who told maureen what and for what reason, is there a risk that he's being seen as indicecisive? >> i think people are going to give him a very wide birth to make this decision. i don't think the public perception is an issue. what is an issue is that eventually he's going to run out of time because of the logistical nuts and bolts. >> when does he have to get in or not? >> probably within a few weeks of that. he's probably the only person left in america who could get in

the race at this late stage but every single day hillary clinton and bernie sanders had more people on the ground in iowa, in new hampshire and he's coming from a complete standing start because he has no current existing political organization to build off of. he has a lot of work to do. so i think everyone wants to give him as much time to make the decision and he should but the pressures of putting the international campaign are coming to bear here. >> gloria, who would have leaked this to politico if, in fact, it was true? was it one of the democratic campaigns to try to subtly push back on him and show him how tough the race can be? there's a report that the clinton allies are arming themselves with opposition in case he does decide to run. >> look, if you're the clinton campaign, you'd be foolish not to have opposition research on every candidate, including joe biden or o'malley. they've got opposition research on. i think it would be very

divisive in the democratic party, for example, if hillary clinton started pointing out, okay, you're on the wrong side of the decision to go after osama bin laden, for example. you're on the wrong side of syria. you're on the wrong side of all issues. that would not be good for the president. i know biden had lunch with the president today. we don't know what was discussed. but if i were sitting in the white house right now, i kind of wouldn't want to see this war going on between these two top lou tet na lieutenants of mine. >> hillary clinton is closely tied to the administration as anyone else. >> i think that would be a fool's errand because what will decide it is can she get the obama coalition and if they come out for her. if she's seen putting herself

against the president, that would be detrimental to her long-term future. coming up, as the search for survivors goes on, family members are wondering why the missing cargo ship would sale directly into the path of hurricane joaquin. ♪ gluten free. oh! that's a lot of kale.

tonight, the coast guard has only found debris of the "el faro." the ntsb is investigating and family members are searching for answers tonight. martin savidge has more. ♪ >> i can't go there. and i've cried so much that i have no more tears. so they all have to come back. >> reporter: but for many of the families, why did they go in the first place? >> captain laid out his plan and given his plan and given what he had in the way of information about the weather system, his plan was a sound plan that would have enabled him to clearly pass around the storm with a margin of comfort that was adequate in his professional opinion.

>> reporter: but even if the ship hadn't run into mechanical trouble, as it about with the propulsion system, weather reports show joaquin brewing already as a tropical storm. the 5:00 p.m. storm predicting it would become hurricane strength. that, just hours before "el faro" even set sail at 8:00 p.m. that night, its path leading directly into the eye of the storm. family is visible angry over that situation. >> that's what i didn't like. if they should have kept them there and to ship them out like that, that makes no sense at all. >> reporter: at daybreak, the search for survivors continues. the coast guard dispatching planes and commercial tugboats. so far, only one of two lifeboats has been found bad ly damaged in a survival suit. >> we are still looking for any signs of life or any signs of

forces and, therefore, u.s. forces have a responsibility and will through the investigation answer the questions here. >> nic, is there any more clarity about the chain of events that actually led up to this? >> reporter: doctors without borders have given some information which we didn't have before which gives some vital clues into the sequence of events. they say that the aircraft flew around over the hospital, a large compound, single building, was the only -- there was only one building in that compound that was hit. a lot of others was spared and the plane came over several times, targeted that one building, went around several other times, went back, came around and targeted that building and that is why doctors without borders say it's a war crime. you can't call it a mistake because each time air controllers would have had to make all of their normal checks, as we know that they do on each of those separate occasions and
