guns. they took their time and guns them down one by one. boom, come over here. boom, come over here, boom. if you were in those rooms, one of those people and the survivors said it just lasted forever. if one employee or just one patron had a gun or if one person in this room had been there with a gun the terrorists would have fled. >> he called mr. trump's comments shameful. the french foreign ministry exwe pressing firm disapproval and called for the respect of the memory of the victims.

in the eruption zone the making a great mistake. >> one describes how emotional it was. >> tears, lots of tears says good-bye to my house. i have an acre lot. we have beautiful plants and trees that i have planted. just tears. i can do that right now. you know, i'm a blue collar man and i work for my house and it might be gone. it's devastating. ken, thanks for joins us. we just heard from the resident worried about losing that home and the neighborhood is under

up. they have currently up to eight that opened and have been erupting in some period of time. only two of them are currently active right now. >> as far as the volcanic cone that collapsed, is the outcome here typical of what would happen because of the volcano? it is one of the best studied in the world.

now, there is no way to predict based on what we were observing that it was going to shut off as it did but the best evidence that we have for similar activities one in 1955 and 1960. it is from the edge of the 1955 lava. that eruption lasted 88 days. we don't know that's what's going to happen this time. until the people at the

observatory stopped seeing ground shaking that then we have to expect that the eruption will continue. >> that's the environmental danger to people exposed to these most are able to see it in the atmosphere and hopefully move away. this one has a strong smell and

is also toxic in low concentrations. it also produces nasty gases. none of those are good or in the immediate area. as long as the winds are whether or not he -- winds are blowing then they should be okay. it is definitely important not to be close to where the gas sources are. >> we so much appreciate it. thank you.

top of it. temperatures not really going to matter. it's the shower activity. 40 to 50% coverage. is sorry to add that to the pile but that's something we'll be watching closely the results are not good. so we'll watch that closely as well. >> not our usual news from hawaii. >> it is not. coming up, cheerleaders with a professional football team said a trip to coasta rica blurred the lines of their job
