in applause as that happened and as these men realized their seven-year dreams. >> tonight an impossible dream realized. these two men are not the first to free climb up the nearly vertical wall of yosemite's el capitan. >> this is something that you he never thought would happen. >> tommy called well and kevin jorgenson using only their hands and feet to climb the rock. no climbing equipment, only harnesses only to prevent deadly falls during their 19-day journey. the climbers braving a windstorm. >> tossed around like a rag doll. >> and clinging to razor sharp edges to make the record books. >> what makes it hard is the holes are very small, they're very far apart. basically, it's just hard to climb. >> on day eight, trouble. kevin struggled as one of thezq

toughest points. >> it crossed my mind that i should just throw in the towel. >> it was a true cliffhanger. kevin finally turned that impossible corner. pure joy, he posted on facebook. for his family relief. >> when i heard that he made it it10jb brought -- you know, i cried. >> it was came on from there. five more days and then this afternoon, five more steps and those rock stars reached the top. >> such an amazing moment out there. it will take a few hours for those men to hike back down. they're joined up there by many many family members we're told. family members and close friends are up there. it's a party up there for now. back to you. >> thank you so much. awesome feat for these guys. thank you so much. we move now to breaking news out of washington.

federal prosecutors say an ohio man is under arrest for plotting to attack officials and employees inside the u.s. capital. fbi agents arrested 20-year-old christopher lee cornell today after he allegedly took control of a firearm during an undercover operation. cornell is also known as rahir maris ubidaia. he professed allegiance online and committed to complete acts of jihad. the 49ers have promoted defensive line coach jim tomsula and the raiders are hiring denver broncos defensive coordinator jack del rio. >> del rio takes over following dennis allen an intrimt coach tony spurano. the 51-year-old grew up in hayward, and his entire family grew up as raiders fans.

you know, for jack del rio, it all started right here on the football field at hayward high school. around these parts he's sort of a local legend. if you look at the high school year book, it's pretty easyev,2s to see why. jack del rio didn't just play football. he played basketball and baseball, he turned down after offer for the big leagues. he wound up playing football in the nfc before he went into coaching. the coach here says he comes back all the time. now they couldn't be more proud to have him back in the bay area. >> it's great to have a person who has succeeded coming out of some place come back and speak to the kids about what he accomplished and what he did. and it's just an opportunity for them to see themselves in his shoes. >> when we played freshman football together, the coach would send the defense assignments in from thephxhd

sidelines and jack on occasion would overrule the coach and call his own defense even as a 14-year-old. >> jack's boyhood friend andy miller knew right then he was looking at a coach. but boy, has it been tough to see him coaching for the broncos. the two of them were raider fans growing up. in that sense, it's a true home coming for jackizñnñ del rio. ever since b he played here, jack del rio was known as that really big guy. andy tells us a lot of his schedules come from up here. he had a knack for predicting what the other team was going to do well ahead of time and that knack might just come in handy as he tries to turn the raiders around. >> now to the niners and espn and various media outlets are reporting the niners will promote jim tomsula to head coach replacing jim harbaugh. this rumor first started about a year ago.

the 46-year-old tom sula has been with the 49ers as an tashl coach for eight seasons. bolden endorsed this move this afternoon on twitter. but it's really add to pass up defensive coordinator vick diangio to hire one of his assistant coaches to take over the team. not really sure what happened in denver. now the bigger question, the niners, is who takes over that offensive coordinator. if you can't fix colin kaepernick, you're in trouble no matter who your coach is. >> what do you think of the hire starting with the raiders? >> del rio makes perfect sense. it gives owner mark davis something he can sell to his fans. what are you going to do? there's nothing there. jack he's tough no nonsense. he's going to emphasis defense. on the niners side, this is a huge reach.

they're comfortable with him and as much as you want to talk about continuity and organizational harmony if you want to use that tom sula, this is an odd jump, but he servesed one game he's 1-0 lifetime. but when you get rid of harbaugh, you're taking a gargantuan risk. we'll see how the niners tomorrow. in martinez investigators have taken one person into custody, accused of setting fires that burned four straight properties today. crews first received a report of a fire burning on ashwood drive after 12:30 this afternoon. a third fire was reported less than a mile away. the fires caused at least $300,000 in damage. nobody, though, was injured.

corny, but i had a lot of memories in that spot. it's winter. you've got to get warm is now. >> anderson said the group he was with got kicked out last week. he admits some of them would use lighters or other small devices to see in the dark. >> torches so we could walk around and said. other than that, no. >> the official can all cause is not known and it could take days for investigators to sift through the smouldering debris. >> the fire started in the interior so potentially squatters or homeless may not inside. our other concern is we hope tht got out. on our arrival, no one would have survived in there. >> a performer blew out during the fire knocking out power to more than 4500 pg&e customers. this building was going to be demolished in the next week but because of the damage will probably be knocked down in the next day or two. we got a little bit of a
