murdering her newborn daughter. she claims she didn't do it but prosecutors are using her own text messages and internet searches against her. plus, the feds are now telling people a new warning. stop vaping. at least until we can figure out what is going on after word of a third mystery death from a lung illness. now a new clue about what might be causing this. that's new and our reporting begins now. our reporting begins with what investigators are calling a harrowing story of what happened when fire broke out on a scuba diving boat off california. 34 people killed after being trapped in their bunks below deck as the flames roared. no one could help them. it happened early on monday morning near santa cruz island about 25 miles south of

santa barbara. investigators there and federal investigators say the surviving crew members that were on board the conception as the boat was known tried to get to the sleeping passengers and crew. they couldn't get past all the flames and the smoke erupting from the gally below. the fire spread, the crew says they were forced to jump off the ship. one breaking a leg as he tried to get to safety. a source telling the los angeles times, there were serious safety flaws on the boat, including a lack of roaming night watchmen that were supposed to state away. investigators say a crew member told them that they never heard the smoke alarms during the fire. while divers work to recover the body of the last victim, the santa barbara county sheriff says they've been able to identify the remains of 18 victims so far by using dna analysis. that's typically used in war zones. the owners of the boat filing a

federal lawsuit. they're trying to avoid having to pay the victim's families. william la jeunesse reporting live on the ground in santa barbara. >> the latest is they're trying to recover the remains of the boat. that's dependent on the weather. cause and origin of the fire unknown. investigators are focused on the area on the second deck of the boat where passengers charge their cell phones and batteries. as you said, they are using dna because so many bodily are badly burned. they're learning based on crew accounts, passengers had virtually no chance to survive. one, because of the design and layout and two, no night watchman and nobody heard a working smoke alarm. dive times are trying to recover physical evidence for the investigators, including the atf national response team. >> as the vessel is moved during the operation, our divers will

search the area that has been inaccessible to them as well as search again the vessel itself for the last victim. >> in complex investigations like this, we take our time, process the evidence. we don't put time limits on how long we'll be here. we'll be here as long as we're needed. >> that is likely months or potentially years. in the interim, the ntsb can issue an interim report basically directing dive boats like behind me to have a working exit area. >> shepard: do you know details on the lawsuit, william? >> yes. the owners of the boats behind me as well as the one that sank filed a limitation of liability claim in admiralty court saying we owe the families no money because we did nothing wrong. that forces them to go to

federal court. may look callous. experts say it's a smart move forcing them to prove negligence on the owner's part which he denies. >> the crew was located in a different part of the vessel. the flames reached up to that part already ungulfed down below decks. they had no choice but to evacuate the boat. >> so the families will have to prove through documents and depositions that the owner knew or should have known the boat was dangerous. what we're learning from the crew, they were asleep in the top area. when they noticed the fire, it fully engulfed the second deck area. the passengers were below that black line under the boat. they couldn't get up as well. another key piece of evidence, this ntsb video that shows basically a guy trying to -- the little piece of word there, that covers the lone escape hatch. another angle, the man struggles

to squeeze through the hole. the main staircase is so steep, they had to go down backwards. these are only exits in an area the ntsb suspects the fire began. >> they went to the double doors of the gally to try to get in to get to the passengers but it was ungulfed in flames at that time. there's a lot of wiring and electrical systems. there may have been and we don't know this yet, may have been gear charging. >> so there is likely to be lawsuits, many of them. experts we spoke to in maritime law say they probably carry insurance but not the kind of insurance that a luxury cruise liner would carry, shepard. so they're unlikely to cover all of the claims. back to you. >> shepard: william la jeunesse live in santa barbara. hurricane dorian after nine long days as a hurricane is finally heading out to sea after making landfall in the outer banks of

north carolina as a category one storm. here's pictures. the system brought serious flooding to the barrier island. officials report the hurricane washed out a bridge and stranded hundreds of people on o ocracok island. meantime, the nightmare in the bahamas escalates. at least 80 people now confirmed dead. hundreds still missing. 30 people dead. i meant to say 30. the country's top health official says the final body count could be, according to him, staggering. morticians are on the ground embalming bodies because they don't have enough coolers to fit the storm's victims. we're hearing more and more stories from survivors that were on the abaco islands where the storm surge was 23 feet and the winds 185 miles an hour gusting

higher. a man said he was treading water with his 5-year-old son trying to cling to the roof of their home when a powerful gust blew the young boy into the raging flood waters. the father says his son was reaching for me and calling me, "daddy" as the storm swept him away. our steve harrigan is on the ground live on abaco right now. steve, what are you seeing? what are you hearing? >> shepard, i'm standing in what used to be a house here on abaco island. the foundation is left what used to be somebody's neighborhood. as far as i can see behind me off to the right, off to the left, there's nothing left here. it's as if someone took a snow globe and just shook it over and over again. this is not the kind of hurricane that just tears the roof off a house. it's the kind of hurricane that hit here with 185 miles per hour winds for two days. you mentioned the body count.

that is going to change dramatically because when you stand here, you can smell bodies. i can see dead dogs from where i'm standing. when i walk over that hill to a church there, you can see dead bodies protruding from the rocks. floating in the sun for several days here. as far as the body collection, we've seen one storage truck holding bodies and police walk through with machetes guided by a sense of smell trying to find more bodies. this was a very poor area a lot of haitians here in this town on abaco island. so it's -- you get a sense that people didn't know how many people were here. they don't know how many people are gone. no one really seems to be looking for them very hard. we did see some real acts of compassion and charity at the port. a lot of people from the bahamas bringing their own private boats. it's almost like a flotilla of desperate people trying to get

out. they're taking women and children first. jump on the boat, no bags. at lease you can get out of abaco island. it's just a hell with nothing. we've seen pictures of houses here. we ask people what do you have? they say nothing. what do you mean nothing? you have absolutely nothing? so when you get in discussions with people, sometimes it can get heated, very emotional. certainly people that lost family members, lost houses and who look around at this landscape, which is completely changed, you can understand that emotion. people basically don't know where their house was this is such a jumble at this point, shepard. . >> shepard: is it possible for you to show us around there, the area where you are? >> let's give a slow pan and just try to look at some of what

we're seeing here. it's really an entire neighborhood that is gone, this is the worst of it. you're just seeing foundation after foundation, car after ruined car. in some of these ruined cars, which have been flipped over and battered, you can see people sitting inside because that's the only place they had to sit. you can see people walking down the street, carrying whatever items they have. gas is in short supply. you basically -- whatever you have, you're carrying on your back or in a shopping cart, it's really like scenes out of mad max here. the trees are down. the shipping containers were thrown over from the port. so everything is really in a jumble. the people seem a little bit stunned. it smells bad here. as soon as you stand here, you're like oh! if you've been to rwanda during the genocide, if you've been to haiti after the earthquake, you know that smell. right here on abaco island, you have that smell, shepard. >> shepard: steve, i must admit, when i found out that you made

it there today, i was so relieved because you experienced the things you just talked about for decades. you've been in war zones and natural disasters. though we've seen the pictures, we have not been able to get a first-hand account. i was hoping you could be there. >> thanks, shepard. when you see it, it's different. you can read an a.p. body record. but when you go to the baptist church 500 yards away and you see arms and legs sticking out of the stones -- people who were probably trying to take refuge in a church and they're dead. they're still sitting there. you get a feeling there's a lack of urgency. one because it's difficult to reach. but these are the poorest of the poor.

they're dead. nobody knows who they are and how many there are. there doesn't seem to be a lot of urgency to try to find their bodies and give them a burial. >> shepard: not to cast aspersions, what is striking from hundreds of miles away, you don't see anyone out there trying to get anything done. have you been able to figure out if anyone is in charge or when -- >> no, no. i tell you, i saw good things. i saw people getting on boats, people trying to escape this. this is basically a hot tin pan of destruction and dead bodies. people are just trying to get out of here as fast as they can. we've seen helicopter pilots from the u.s. coast guard carrying people off that were either so weak or so traumatized they can't even walk.

so we have seen heroism. keep in mind, this is a tough place to get to. the airports are down. the harbors have sunken vessels in them. but you're right, for a disaster of this level, it's dead quiet here. i'm not trying to make a play on words. but you would think there's bulldozers and activity. it gets worse. >> shepard: we hear by boat it's not far. you wonder if there's isn't -- i can't stop thinking about people that have -- >> yeah. it's a hard thing to do. it's hard thing to talk to people. because you know, everyone has been through the same situation here. the guy who is driving us

around, we found him. you're almost hesitant to say how are you doing? doing well? you know, i swam to safety with my wife and two children in my arms. you know, he's driving us because he needs money right now. he's been through hell. just about everybody here has. we're just seeing them walk and pick through and see what they can find here. i'm looking at some old clothes, toilets, some loose shoes. you know, we've seen a lot of hurricanes, we've seen a lot of storms. to see it jumbled like this, basically turned upside-down is a different level of destruction. it's hard to see how this gets back to any sense of normalcy here for some time to come, shepard. >> shepard: you were over in nassau. there's mounting efforts from there. is there a flotilla that will come or -- i'm trying to get a sense of how the future might be better in some way to clean it

up and bury people. >> i think we've spoken to some people here on the ground who have really expressed their gratitude to the u.s. coast guard whose pilots have been flying around the clock to airlift the sickest and the weakest and the most injured out of here. that being said, a lot of people whose medications have run out. there's not enough helicopters taking them in and out. we've seen volunteerism from bahamians bringing their boats, throwing food on shore and taking people on board. the need is huge. the need is dramatic. it's just too quiet. these people are too desperate. we've seen how this story plays out when people don't have food, don't have water. things can spiral badly quickly. i get the real sense that help is on the way. it's not as urgent as anybody would like. we saw people mapping out the

floor of the ocean near the port. i expect we'll see larger ships in. i expect we'll see planes in on the runway. but right now, let's stick with what we're seeing. we're seeing zero here. we're seeing a few hell continuers and we're seeing dead bodies, arms and legs still protruding six days after a storm, shepard. >> shepard: steve harrigan and our photographer, both veterans of this showing us what we knew was coming. it's just so much more difficult to see it once its there. to all of that's that have family members there. deepest condolences. we'll keep bringing the stories. nobody better to do it than steve harrigan. our coverage continues in a moment. nice. but, uh... what's up with your... partner? not again. limu that's your reflection. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪

>> shepard: federal health officials are telling people to consider stop vaping at least for now. the warning comes as they try to figure out what is causing mysterious lung illnesses in hundreds of people including three that have died. health officials in indiana confirm that third death just today. it's the first in that state, but the officials said they're investigating 30 cases there. officials at the centers for disease control and prevention in atlanta say all the people that have gotten sick used e cigarettes. but they still don't know what exactly is causing the illness. it comes just after health officials in new york said they were zeroing in on a possible cause and it's this: the use of vitamin e acetate. the cdc is pushing back on that today. the american vaping association responding on twitter saying the problem is illegal thc. not regular vaping of nicotine.

thc is the chemical that gives marijuana its high. the association tweeting let's be clear, a contaminant of serious concern has been identified in the elicit thc street vapes. not nicotine vaping products. health authorities that continue to issue generalized warnings are endangering the public. matt finn is live with more. matt? >> this afternoon the cdc says in addition to the three deaths, a fourth death is being investigated. there's a total possible 450 cases in 33 different states of e cigarette related illnesses. the cdc is urging the public to consider not using e cigarettes until the current investigation is complete, especially e cigarettes purchased off the streets warning adding any chemicals or mixing any substances like nicotine and thc could be fatal.

the cdc is aware the vitamin e and some vape products is a possible cause of extreme illness in some patients, but so far the cdc is stressing that no single product or substance is being blamed. the cdc says the majority of patients that fall ill are young healthy men. they have sudden trouble breathing, abnormal chest x-rays and a ventilator. a mother and father of one illinois college student said their daughter was on her way back to school in colorado when she had to be rushed to the hospital for a severe vaping injury. >> he said he fears that had we brought her in a day earlier, she would be unresponsive and on a ventilator. every time she asked what will happen, when will i get better, he's like i don't know. >> we may have dodged a bullet with our daughter. but there's been two victims. >> you heard those parents say

the cdc is stressing that the phenomenon is so dangerous right now because there's no clear cut treatment. >> shepard: the centers for disease control and prevention is investigating and so is the fda. >> yes, the fda is assisting. right now they're investigating 120 substances that could be added to these e cigarettes and that includes thc, nicotine and cutting agents. cdc staff is deployed right now here in illinois and wisconsin. those are the first two states to report cases. the fda is encouraging the public to report any tobacco or e cigarette related illnesses to safetyreporting.hhs.gov. >> thanks, matt. thanks. stocks are up. this is a live look at the dow. up close to 100 points on the session. the u.s. added some 130,000 jobs last month.

nearly 30,000 fewer than the economists were predicting. economists say the hiring slow could be due in the escalating trade war in china. buses have cut spending because of uncertainty over how long the trade dispute will last. the feds say the average wage has increased. americans do continue to spend. let's turn to "fox news sunday" host chris wallace live in washington. good to see you. >> good to be with you. >> some of the numbers on how people fear about the economy seem to be changing a little bit. >> yeah. there is decreased consumer confidence, consumer spending. the last report was strong. some drop in consumer confidence also some indications of contraction in the manufacturing sector, in business investment and all of those indicate

growing uncertainty about the strength of the economy and you also saw that in the employment numbers. the estimates have been 150, 160,000. it's actually 130,000. about 30,000 of that was government employment including 25,000 people hired short term for the census. the 2020 census. so you take all of that down in terms of private employment increase, it was less than 100,000. so there is some concern. not necessarily that we're headed for a recession but that between a slow down in global growth and the continued uncertainty over what will happen in the trade dispute between the u.s. and china about where this economy is going and if there's one thing markets don't like, businesses that are considering hiring or capital expenditures is uncertainty. >> shepard: there was a time really not that long ago, chris, when conservatives were concerned about deficits and deficit spending.

do you have a sense beyond presidential politics why we're not really hearing that from conservative conservatives? the deficit is quite large. >> yeah, the deficit will be up to close to a trillion dollars this year and the projection is it's going to be over a trillion dollars for the rest of the 20s, the 2020s for a decade. our debt is up over $22 trillion. this is really been going on for some time. you go back to george w. bush and he was a big spender a big government republican. you see that now with donald trump. the economic benefits of the trade cut in 2017 have begin to diminish. what you're now doing, there's not as much revenue and there's a big increase in spending.

they passed a spending bill to get them past the 2020 election. they've done away with sequestration with the spending caps. so there's a holy conspiracy by democrats that have been big spenders and now republicans that deficits and debt don't really matter. >> shepard: politics real quick before we let you get away. we had seven hours of climate change town halls the other night and now we have this debate coming up with i guess ten candidates from the democratic side. what are you seeing big picture? >> i think a couple of things. first of all, i think the most notable factor is the enduring strength of joe biden. he's had a really rough summer. gotten beaten up for misstatements, gaffes, poor performances, shaky performances in the two debates so far and yet he still leads the field by double digits in national polls. somewhat closer in iowa and closer in new hampshire. he's still the frontrunner. the second thing i see is that

used to be sort of a front tier of five, biden ahead of the rest of that pack, now it's really a top tier of three with biden and in the second group, warren and sanders. you now have kamala harris despite a strong performance in the first debate and pete buttigieg who had a period of time when he was getting a lot of attention, they're back down in single digits now. you have to say there's a top three, yes and then a next two. the top three have separated themselves from the field. doesn't mean that can't change next week or going on through the fall. but the field is beginning to sort itself out. >> shepard: looking forward to this weekend. is will talk with the secretary state mike pompeo, also a republican who says he's considering running against president trump, the former south carolina governor and congressman, mark sanford. he said he would decide by labor day but delayed the announcement

because of hurricane dorian. we'll all be watching. check your local listings on your local fox station. no water, no power, little food. people in parts of the bahamas say things are bad and getting worse. we'll check in with a victim we've been talking with throughout the unfolding disaster. he says she's desperate for the most basic supplies. it's the bottom of the hour, top of the news after this. lease the 2019 ux 200 for $329 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

survived the storm. today she tells us she and her family are desperate for any and all help. denise lewis told us her grandmother needed to be rescued from her home. she didn't hear from her grandmother or her brother until wednesday, the day before yesterday. that time in between, she didn't know what had happened to them at all. the same day wednesday, she and her family ran out of clean water. that was wednesday. she says it's gotten worse, they're running out of other supplies. we expected to talk to her. at the moment, the phone lines are down. we talked to her before the program and she said we have no power and water, the systems are gone. she's crying because she's lost. i've just been told we established a phone line. denise, are you with us? >> yes, i am. >> so glad to hear from you. how is your family? what can you tell us? >> right now it's really depressing. because there's no power

supplies to the island or water. i know they said the water system is compromised. you can't drink the water or brush your teeth or anything like that with the water. you have to put bleach in the water. >> shepard: have you been able to do that? does your family have the water they need to survive? >> currently we have no drinking water left at all. >> shepard: what are you going to do? >> pray. there's nothing to do at this time until we can get some water. >> shepard: so i understand and our viewers understand, you're with a large group, right, in one building? >> yes. >> shepard: there's not a place that you can go to with a relief station that you can get water or get food.

>> i've been told yesterday, i know a cruise ship line has some food at various churches. it's kind of late now because of the internet access and no radio communication. so i don't know how that worked out. >> shepard: i know one of the difficult things during thinks extraordinary times is trying to keep your spirits up. how is everybody's head? >> everybody is right now is -- a lot of people in the house. everybody is beginning to get frustrated. i have a 3-year-old granddaughter. she doesn't understand that i can't turn the fan on. she's been telling me, grammy, you know, i'm mad at you. she tells me, mommy, turn the fan on. i'm hot. and then mosquitos are coming in to the house. the daytime a lot of bees in the

house. >> shepard: must be -- must be miserably hot. >> yeah. it's hot. >> shepard: well, i got to tell you, there's a whole country not 100 miles away pulling for you in every way. i know the government is mounting rescue efforts and the coast guard is out and every living and loving person is doing everything they can do. the reality for you and your family, it's just not there yet. i wish i could tell you when it will be. >> no. i can kind of understand. there's others out there who haven't been rescued. there's a whole community the east end that was destroyed. there's a lot of persons that have lost their lives in the storm. so i keep telling myself, you

know, i'm getting depressed and getting down. but when you think you have it bad, somebody has it worse. the community at the east end, they're all family and so many lives lost in that part of the island. >> shepard: i must tell you this because we speak to you every day. we think about you all the time. our crew here and our people here in this bidding. i know a lot of viewers do. we can't wait to meet you when times are better and give you help along the way. everybody cares. we're all watching and all pulling for you. >> yes. thank you. i appreciate it. >> shepard: our friend, denise lewis who is on grand bahama. whose granddaughter is not happy with her. grandma won't turn the fan on. she says it's hot in there and mosquitos and bees and no water to drink. it doesn't matter how often

these things happen. you see the big numbers and you see the wide pans and you can see the aerials, the helicopter flies over and you see the destruction. then you remember within a home, there's 15 people who don't have any water or burning up. these are individual stories, this isn't about a big island and a population you don't know anything about. it's about individual people that are really, really just horribly suffering. no one is faulting anyone for not getting aid there. that's the farthest thing from the truth. just trying to point out to you how difficult it is. letting you see and hear how desperate those suffering really are. we're dealing with a storm here on the east coast, too. for those of you interested in an update on the east coast, the weather map will show you that it's passed the outer banks. that's midtown manhattan.

do you have the sixth avenue cam? the one from high above. that is radio city music hall up there on the right. we're no poor mouthing here. we're getting some rain from that. the only point being, 25, 35 miles an hour winds are coming, coming to new england. they're hurting in ocracoke island off of north carolina because the bridge is down and people are stuck on that island. a lot of flooding. they're telling us when they can get the choppers in there, they'll airlift people out of there. they're prepared to do it but you can't put the choppers up in the wind. they have to wait for things to clear up. so we're hopeful for people there all along the outer banks of north carolina and get this storm out of here. the fish are calling. go where they swim and leave it alone. ahead, an american airliner worker -- have you heard this story? an american airlines worker that is accused of sabotaging a flight.
