7:07 am
stages of trauma, mourning, disbelief, shock, all rolled into one. >> try to take us back to those moments when you realized something was going wrong in your saturday morning service. >> our services began at 9:45 in the morning. we had at that point when i started, 12 people in the sanctuary. within the first maybe more than five minutes, i heard a loud sound in our lower lobby which is one flight of stairs below our sanctuary. at first i thought it was the sound of one of our stainless steel coat racks that had fallen. within the next 15 seconds, the sound repeated and it was apparent to me at that time just instinct i guess that that was not the sound of a piece of metal falling, that it was rapid fire. at that point, i loudly
7:08 am
instructed my congregates to drop to the floor, and be silent and don't move. the people who were towards the front of the sanctuary, the number of people who were there, i quickly tried to evacuate them up towards -- through the back of the sanctuary because it's a labyrinth type of a building. regretfully, there was no way for me to get back to the remaining eight people that were in the back of the sanctuary. one of them was wounded. thank god she will survive her injuries. the remaining seven people were slaughtered in my sanctuary. >> you did have the presence of mind to call 911 and stayed on that line for 20 agonizing minutes. >> it felt like an eternity. i learned -- we had a session back in august with our community security adviser, and i learned a number of important things from him. one of them was to carry my cell phone. i normally don't carry it on the jewish sabbath, but he said, rabbi, it's a different world.
7:09 am
you need to carry it, and i'm so grateful for his presence in teaching me. i knew right away i needed to call 911, so i stayed on the line with them until the s.w.a.t. team extricated me from the synagogue. >> did you ever believe that it could happen at the tree of life synagogue? >> i never believed it could happen anywhere. certainly not to me. i don't have any reason to think i or anyone would be immune from such an occurrence, but never in one's wildest dreams could i believe that something like this could ever possibly happen. i look back in hindsight, and i guess i'm here. maybe god had some purpose for me being in the community and perhaps i'm just fulfilling what part of that purpose might be. >> what do you want everyone watching right now to know about the victims of this attack? >> well, many will just see this as an attack upon a jewish community.
7:10 am
it's not. it's an attack upon america. when american citizens cannot freely and safely worship in their house of worship and celebrate their sabbath, and it concerns me because it challenges the safety and security of all americans in any house of worship and that's very troubling. >> it's an important reminder, rabbi. thank you for your time this morning. again, we're very sorry for your loss. >> thank you for your time, george. >> all americans in any house of worship. can you imagine what a sign of the times that a rabbi has to be trained to be dealing with a mass shooting? >> the way he phrased it, he said they were slaughtered. >> they were. well, the shooter is expected to make his first court appearance this morning. the police say he had no prior arrest record, but posted a series of chilling messages online, one of them right before the attack. our chief national correspondent, matt gutman, is in pittsburgh with those new details. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin.
7:11 am
robert bowers is being treated with multiple gunshot wounds in that secure ward behind me. there is a line behind me because of the added security measures at this hospital. according to law enforcement officials, robert bowers had no criminal history. it appears he purchased his weapons legally. he had no family, no real friends. a man no one ever seemed to notice. to investigators, robert bowers was an enigma. to his neighbors, he was a ghost. so the 18 months that he lived here, that bowers lived here, you never saw these blinds open? >> not once. not once. >> reporter: chris hall, his neighbor at this apartment house, says bowers waved but never socialized, never had guests over, and never revealed a hint of his alleged anti-semitic obsession. >> he didn't even have a bumper sticker on his car. >> reporter: no sign? anything? >> i wish i knew something. i wish there was some type of warning sign or a red flag, but
7:12 am
was just way below. that's it. >> reporter: abc news learned that bowers worked as a trucker for a short period last year. police say that he amassed a cache of weapons including the four he used on the worshippers at the tree of life synagogue. he was shot multiple times in the gunfight with police. this exclusive photo reportedly shows the moment doctors worked to save his life at allegheny general hospital. a phantom in person, but on social media, his posts were demonic. "jews are the children of satan" was the introduction on his social media page. the president of the hospital working to save bowers' life who is also a member of the tree of life synagogue said he went to see the man who caused so much harm. >> i was curious. i wanted to see for myself, you know, they say he is evil. he runs into this hospital. the first three people that are taking care of him are jewish.
7:13 am
>> reporter: bowers broadcasted his violent intent online, no one noticed. he wrote, i can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered, screw your optics. i'm going in. bowers wrote this on the fringe social media site, gab, which has become popular by white supremacists. who believe mainstream sites like facebook and twitter censor their red call views. jeff sessions said he wants to see bowers face the death penalty for nearly 30 federal charges against him including for murder and for hate crimes. now, he has his first court appearance later this afternoon. it could be at this hospital behind me, robin. >> all right, matt. thank you. cecilia? president trump called the massacre in pittsburgh, pure evil, but he also suggested the outcome might have been different if they had armed guards for protection.
7:14 am
the mayor of pittsburgh himself said that is not what his city wants. abc's correspondent jonathan karl has more. >> reporter: in his very first comments after the shooting, the president did not mention the victims. though he suggested armed guards at the synagogue could have prevented the tragedy. >> if you take a look, if they had protection inside, the results would have been far better. they didn't, and he was able to do things that unfortunately he shouldn't have been able to do. >> reporter: the mayor of pittsburgh said he disagreed. >> i don't think that the answer to this problem is solved by having our synagogues, mosques and churches filled with armed guards or schools filled with armed guards. we should try to stop irrational behavior from happening at the forefront. >> reporter: later, the president condemned the attack as, quote, pure evil. >> our nation and the world are shocked and stunned by the grief. this was an anti-semitic act. you wouldn't think this would be possible in this day and age, but we just don't seem to learn from the past.
7:15 am
>> reporter: the president said he considered canceling his political events in the wake of the tragedy, but decided against it. >> and at first i was thinking, you know, i'll cancel and then i said, we can't let evil change our life and change our schedule. >> reporter: a few hours later in illinois, he struck a different tone. >> and if you don't mind, i'm going to tone it down just a little bit, is that okay? [ chanting "no" ] >> i had a feeling you might say that. >> reporter: the attack hit close to home for the president's daughter. ivanka trump converted to judaism, her husband and their three children. all good americans stand with the jewish people to oppose acts of terror, and share the horror disgust and outrage over the massacre in pittsburgh. adding, we must unite against hatred and evil. the president says he'll travel da.uh comin it's a visit that will come
7:16 am
amidst a very busy campaign schedule. the president has at least 11 campaign rallies on the schedule between now and election day just eight days away, george. >> thanks very much. we'll move to the breaking news overnight from indonesia where a passenger plane with 189 people on board crashed shortly after takeoff. abc's david kerley has the latest on the recovery efforts right now. good morning, david. >> reporter: this morning, the crash site has been discovered. this is the first deadly crash on this new 737 model and this morning, it's quite a mystery. this morning, pieces of the brand-new 737 being pulled from the waters off indonesia. no sign of survivors of the 189 who were on board for this short early morning flight from jakarta. just 13 minutes after takeoff, the jet with a child and two infants among those on board, fell out of the sky. this map showing the path right after takeoff for what was to be
7:17 am
a little more than an hour flight, and officials say it stopped sending locating signals. >> this aircraft was straight and level at 5,000 feet and then all of a sudden, there is a sappears off radar. and so terror can't be ruled out at this point. >> reporter: search crews have found personal effects, i.d.s, and miles away in the java sea. as families rush to the airport to learn any news. the 737 had just been delivered to the airline in august. the president of lion air saying that the jet what he described as a technical issue on its last flight, but it was a problem that was fixed. indonesian airlines have a checkered flight safety record. boeing has offered to help in this investigation. robin, they want to know if there is something wrong with their brand-new aircraft. >> a lot of people want to know that. all right, david, thanks so much. what do you say we end on a lighter note here? that big win overnight.

we have a consumer alert now about having your personal information compromised. you may not even know about it. it can happen with accounts you created and forgot about it. becky worley is here. tell us about the zombie accounts. >> zombie accounts. sounds like some creepy -- >> especially the way you say it. >> i know, right? sounds like some creepy horror show, but there is a real danger here. so the issue is no matter how hard companies try to protect your user data, they are big targets for hackers. hackers want your user name and your password so they can try to logon to other accounts hoping that you have used the same password.
8:24 am
maybe they go to your bank and try to get money out of those. what we're looking at is this is basically the fewer accounts you have out there, the less exposure. there is even a website. what is that like? called have i been pwned, and it tells you if anywhere you have an account has been hacked and your data has been released. i have nine different accounts that have been hacked and had their data released. >> how do you find them if you forgot about them? >> well, that's the issue. how do you even know what zombie accounts you have out there? start on your phone. go through and find old apps you don't use. let me give you some examples. let's see. dating apps. it's been awhile. thank god. that's actually the real fear would be having to date again. let's get rid of those.

8:26 am
sir, your idea is -- cool. try a password manager. what our undead friend knows is that you want to have unique passwords for every every single sensitive account. this will generate a password for you in various lengths. i can make a 31-character password. it's almost unhackable, and nobody is going to remember this. just for every unique account. so you have to have a secure password account that holds them all for you, and then you just remember one password. >> that is great advice. becky worley, thanks very much. we'll be right back.

8:31 am
that's what that is. you can do day tonight and you wear. they deeon't just hang in your closet. you know the pieces that never get worn. it's cost effective. >> let's see it in action. >> let's see it in action. [ applause ] >> tell us about the looks right here. >> to begin with, we have lauren who is wearing something that i would consider great for work. so something that's so on trend is the pantsuit. >> yeah. >> the power pantsuit. >> i love it. >> especially in a bright red or pink color. that's a memorable color, with a bold red. i mixed it and did the red blazer with a pop of color and matched it with a great pair of high-waisted black pants because you know you will get so much wear out of that. and a great pair of heels. by the way, the heels not
8:32 am
included in the capsule collection. you can buy as many heels and shoes as you want just so you know. then i took that same black pant and did a great weekend look with it. >> yeah. >> i cuffed it, paired it with combat boots, black turtleneck. a black turtleneck. if you don't have that in your closet, you have got to have it. >> got to have it. >> got to have it. [ applause ] and what i call a duster coat, and that's the other item that you must have in your close et and it wears many hats. in this case it looks like an oversized drapey cardigan. it's an elevated weekend look. so this is how we styled that same pant two different ways. what do you think? >> i love it. lauren, you're going to take off and we'll have another model come over. >> another pose. >> and it looks so different. >> it looks so different, doesn't snit. >> yeah. >> so here we have that same duster, and this is what i'm
8:33 am
saying. if you drape it over your shoulders for a romantic date night, it looks like a completely different thing. and it has a belt so you can also wear it as a trench. it has three roles in your closet and i did -- i paired it with a pattern dress because we're seeing a lot of pattern this season, but you know what? we have all been that woman who has bought that bold print and we take it for one ride and then it just dies a slow death in our closet. >> it's so true. >> it's just really -- you know what i mean? so we find when looking for patterns in your dresses, find something that is subdued and has colors already in your closet so you can mix the pieces easily and i'll show you how to do that with the next look. >> thank you. [ applause ] so another one. come on. >> yeah. that's the dress. >> but it looks so different. >> exactly. >> with the sweater. >> so now instead of going on the date night, we're taking the
8:34 am
same dress and we're going to hang out with the girls and see a movie. this is a great look because it looks like a skirt now. >> it does. >> and it's paired with -- it's paired with an oversized boyfriend sweater which is very much on trend right now. i belted it to give it a little bit of definition around the waist. access ri accessorized it with another combat boot. those are big this year. with the same date night look, is, you know, like a casual, easy, cool look that you can kind of do anything in. >> all right. kate, thank you very much. [ applause ] >> okay. >> sweater. that's the same water. >> same sweater. >> but it looks -- so a must. >> mm-hmm. >> i'll get into those. >> okay. >> this is a perfect night out
8:35 am
with the girls. i'm of the mind you don't necessarily need to show a lot of skin to look sexy. >> thank you. thank you. >> a big, oversized sweater can be this understated, sexy look paired with a great pair of leather leggings. these ones are my absolute favorite because they are vegan leather. >> good, good. >> they feel like leather and they are at a great price point. they are also very high waisted so they act like leather spanx. >> love that. >> every woman wants that. every woman wants that. >> we're getting a kick out of watching this guy in the front row. he is, like, why am i here in the front row? >> and a great pair of mules. those are in as well. you're going out with your girls. this is a great look to have. one more. one more. >> one more. we'll do that. come on, and we're going to bring back the red jacket. >> this is the same red blazer
8:36 am
from theme one. >> okay. wait a minute. that was one of the best walks. come on. y'all were, but that was killer. >> this is the same black turtleneck from scene two, the same blazer from look one and the same pants that i just showed you over here, and often when we go to work, we know that we sometimes have an engagement after and we feel like having a little cocktail. who doesn't at the end of the day? >> a long day. >> wear something appropriate for the office, but we will also feel good in in a social setting. this is the perfect way to do it. have your leather leggings with a great blazer. i like belting the blazer to have a totally different look, and of course, something that you must have in your closet, a pair of leopard shoes this year. >> it's a must. it's a must. >> yeah.
