penalty shootout. that would have been a weak way to finish. celebrating throughout germany this morning. >> all the shock of the people of argentina. >> the little kids crying. >> that's worse. >> let's get right to this morning's breaking news. the search for what is causing a very odd smell in skippack wnship outside philadelphia. it's forcing people out of their homes. nbc's ron allen is there. ron, what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning, matt. haz-mat teams are on duty. it's a very mysterious situation. it has a lot of people very upset. it's also a potentially dangerous situation. all homes have this green notice on the door. telling people that a volatile or an organic compound has been found in the basement. those strong odors, a gas-like feeling, coming from the sump pumps of several basements. residents have been told before returning they should have their homes tested. they left suddenly and without much warning. >> as soon as i walked in the house i said you've got to get the kids out.

something don't smell right. >> reporter: that foul odor led haz-mat crews to evacuate residents of the fairlawn court homes last night. an investigation found strong readings for a chemical called hydrogen cyanide. according to the centers for disease control, often used for fumigation and industrial production of plastics, dyes and pesticides. rapid exposure can be fatal. >> as soon as i walked in the house with my meter, my meter went into alarm telling me they had high readings. as we went in each attached house, we kept getting readings. >> reporter: hydrogen cyanide is also said to be a by-product of fires. but there are no reports of anything burning in the neighborhood. in fact, the local fire chief says he doesn't think it's hydrogen cyanide causing the odor, but some other chemical. with so much uncertainty, everyone here is being extremely cautious. the gas can smell like bitter almond or old sneakers, but many people cannot detect it. >> they told us to open all our windows and we had to evacuate and stay outside until further notice. >> reporter: anyone experiencing headaches or nausea were advised

to seek medical attention. some residents were treated and released after sent to local hospitals. and today, the mystery endures. exactly what caused such a powerful odor to invade so many homes at the same time in this neighborhood? >> i'm a little concerned. my kids are with my mother. luckily they weren't home when this was going on. my daughter would be freaking out. >> reporter: local power companies have been out here and they are not responsible for the odor. federal and state environmental officials have been here taking samples back to a lab to see if they can figure this out. matt, savannah. >> all right. ron allen, thank you very much, in skippack township in pennsylvania. overseas now and the death toll is rising this morning as violent new raids between israel and hamas fighters. israel military downing an unmanned drone overnight. let's get right to nbc's ayman mohyeldin inside gaza this morning. ayman, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning,

or risk being injured or worse killed. the warnings have sent people escaping for their lives. we went to a neighborhood in the north today. many had already left their homes. on a street we found this man who stayed not only out of defiance, but because he had simply nowhere to go. thousands have begun taking refuge at u.n. schools now turned into makeshift shelters. others like this woman were 1 of 150 american citizens evacuated by the u.n. out of gaza. >> in gaza we don't get warnings. we don't get sirens. we don't have an iron dome like they do. >> reporter: she's safely out of gaza and now heading back home to houston, texas, with her family. lucky to be one of the few leaving the war behind. the u.n. says 17,000 palestinians have already moved into some of those makeshift shelters. they say up to 300,000 could be displaced in the event of a ground invasion. this is a race against time. diplomatic efforts are picking up.

back now at 7:42 as we look at montauk, new york. we start a special week-long special called shark watch. there's been an uptick in attacks. all week we'll be examining the science behind one of the most mysterious creatures on earth. let's get to kerry sanders in montauk where real-life events inspired the story of "jaws." so good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. you remember in the movie "jaws" there's a crusty fisherman who goes out for the monster shark. that legend actually gave way to real world shark contests. people will go out with rods and reels and try and land the biggest shark and haul it back after killing it and show it off. now as we fast forward, those

events have given way to something different which is catching and releasing. and it's all in the name of science. a fisherman catches a rare specimen. it's a tiger shark. one of the three most aggressive in the ocean. there was a time when all sharks here would be hauled ashore, trophies of man versus predator. but now for the second year running, recreational anglers invited scientists on their boats to attach satellite tags. their work to understand sharks is more crucial this summer as sightings including great whites like this one spotted last month off the jersey shore are increasing. it may be in part because scientists say the great white population in the atlantic is up 42% since 1997. >> i was blown away. i didn't think i would be bit. >> reporter: 14-year-old tristan durham was attacked in florida last week.

it shows no obvious patterns. >> we don't know much about them at all. we're putting these transmitters on them and seeing where they're going and we think they're going wherever they want. >> reporter: sometimes those tagged are near shore. landing sharks where people swim is also now a catch and release activity. again the effort here is to gather scientific data like sizes, weight, and what type of bacteria live on those razor sharp teeth. reshaping that "jaws" image of a serial killer on the hunt for human flesh has become the mission for these two. >> it's just kind of hanging there. >> reporter: the shark brothers. two former rock and roll musicians who know showmanship is often the way get attention. but there is still work to be done to understand one of the

ocean's greatest mysteries. at what point do you get to say success? >> there's levels of success, but it continues. >> reporte test test 3 c3 el gran cahoona era uno >> let's show you how you can watch the sharks. you saw some of that cool technology there in kerry's piece. that is happening from a cool website that's actually on the iphone, too. that's when they come above water. they hit the transponders and

facebook after she was accused of violating the site's guidelines. she doesn't know which were deemed inappropriate and said instagram wouldn't tell. >> in the past year we have lost nine instagram accounts. on facebook, one official page. they have never specifically told us what images are in violation. >> reporter: the images are part of the fourth trimester project. an effort to celebrate how the body changes after pregnancy and show what real women look like. >> it's meant to heal and empower women worldwide. and we've started to do that. and not being able to publicly and socially share our work and our message that it's helping so many women is damaging. >> reporter: well, jackson says she's not alone. canadian mom heather baines says she had her instagram account shut after she posted a breast-feeding shot. and then there's the mom who tried to recreate the coppertone

ad. her daughter's removed from facebook. >> there's nothing sexually explicit or pornographic about that picture. >> reporter: instagram and facebook receive hundreds of millions of uploads a day. the terms clearly state they can modify or terminate service for any reason without notice and at any time. in written statements the company's told us it is very hard to consistently make the right call on every photo. adding images showing nude or partially nude children may be removed for safety concerns. while these images may be uploaded innocent we are particularly sensitive to the fact that other people can share and reuse the content in unintended and inappropriate ways. we've always allowed breast-feeding photos. it is natural and beautiful. but while some of jackson's photos have been restored, she worries there's a double standard with pictures of average women removed while racy images of celebrities stay. she started a change.org

petition and a stop censoring motherhood hash tag gaining traction online. >> not all nudity in children and adults puts people at risk. this project exists because we feel it is important to put non-sexualized nudity out there in the world to counter the perception that sex is what we're all about. >> now, we spoke with a cyber safety expert who pointed out these are global companies. that just because something is acceptable here that doesn't mean it's not illegal somewhere else. facebook says it has to strike a balance between freedom of expression and what offends others. when a user on the site flags it, then they do the investigation. >> thank you very much. let's take a look at a workout now that's catching fire. it's also empowering women across the country. janet shamlian decided to give it a try. >> reporter: it's high energy with plenty of power-packed kicks.

sweets? carbs? head to today.com to share or use the #30daydetox and go on twitter and facebook. now, i've asked the anchors and behind the scenes producers and everyone to join in. i want to say what our anchors have decided. matt is ice cream. savannah the word self fee. al salty snacks. carson, eating his kids' snacks. tamron's sweets. kathie lee, bread. do you think you can stick with it? >> i think can. i can't imagine natalie giving up shopping. >> not a chance. >> that'll never happen. >> no. >> all right. we look forward to it. we're go i think to check in and check our progress throughout the month of august. now, how about a check of the weather? >> i see a couple over here. this gentleman looks like shaquille o'neal over here. is this your lovely wife? she looks a little like michelle obama. do you get that?

and what's your daughter's name? >> olivia and two daughters right there. >> my gosh. there you go. where are you guys from? >> auburn, alabama. >> what's your nbc station? come on. oh! >> i think it's 9. >> 9? channel 9? there you go. we're going to research it and get back to you. there you go. let's see what we've got as far as today. risk of strong storms from your mid-atlantic states all the way into the ohio river valley. sunny and hot in the northwest. look for wet weather in the southwest as well. then tomorrow looking for more showers and thunderstorms along the mid-atlantic coast. look for strong storms also into the rockies. the heat continues into the pacific northwest. more heat and wet weather in the southwest. and it's wsfa. that's your nbc station.

they say it downstairs and it comes out here. this is my information. this is my all hey. thank you, al. the home of google is going to be a little on the warm side for today. the entire bay area, for that matter. taking a live look at pacifica. a few lingering clouds there. meanwhile, i want to show you woodside. on the peninsula, we have a little cloud cover clinging to the mountains. not for long. we'll see this beautiful blue sky like we all have in sunol already. let's talk about temperatures today. 74 in san francisco and hot out in the tri-valley. 98. >> sweet 16. all right. happy birthday. now let's check savannah. i'm getting man handled here. savannah? >> thank you very much. zach braff is a busy guy.

zach plays a man who must balance being a son to his father and be a father to his own kids. take a look. >> this is the spot. >> what is it? >> this is the spot where i had had one of the deepest, most sincere, spiritual moments of my life. last time i had an epiphany it was right here. >> what's an epiphany? >> an epiphany is when you realize something that you really needed to realize. it's, you know, sometimes in life you can get kind of stuck and feel like you should have changed chapters by now, but you can't. >> zach, good morning. good to see you. >> great to see you. >> i hear you're going to be the tenth co-host of the "today" show. >> i'm blessed to be on so much this summer. >> we love having you. >> for those of us who loved "garden state," waiting ten years for your next passion project was hard.

but this was worth the wait. >> thank you. >> what did you want to get accomplished and why did you wait ten years? >> i wanted to make things i believe in. i could have gone and made a big commercial studio type movie. but i wanted something personal. i co-wrote this with my brother adam. we wanted to write about our family and everything we were thinking about. i was blessed that my fans backed us on kickstarter. it was produced by myself and 47,000 of my fans. that's how i was able to get it made. >> you said you wrote this with your brother. it's about this sibling relationship it examines as a husband/wife, father/son. is it autobigraphical? >> there's some and then we pull in a lot of fiction. the father isn't supportive of the kids and the arts. which couldn't be further from our father.

but there's a lot of take from family there. >> i don't know this, but could you tell me what your reaction was when you found out mandy patinkin said he would play your father? >> he called me and said i love this. he's one of my favorite actors of all time. >> another interesting thing in this is the role of the jewish faith. you have a father who's very orthodox, wants his grandchildren to have that same background. you, your character and your wife, you're not sure what you believe about that. you're examining spirituality which is not often a thing we see in movies. >> for us we were raised jewish, but whatever your faith, whatever faith your parents raised you in, i think a lot of people my age were saying, were questioning like we all do what do i believe? the film is about a period of your life where you have to teach something to your children. say i've got this from my parents, what's true for me to

pass on to me children? >> i heard you had a musical-themed bar mitzvah? >> i did. why'd you have to say that? >> because we have a picture to show. no. >> everyone was having sports themed bar mitzvahs. and i've always been a musical theater geek. so it was humiliating. >> you told the producer you're willing to be my doula? >> i'll do whatever i can to help. i don't have children, but i have a dog. and i'm told you can put them in a crate and they're fine. >> i was looking for a celebrity with no child care experience. >> i'm available to doula and bring over my crate. >> great. thank you so much. i should say wish i was here from our sister company opens nationwide on the 25th. next up, brain games. get ready to have your mind blown. plus jake owen performs his

would eat? >> yes. >> okay. fine. >> we're going to blindfold you first. >> this breaks every rule of common sense letting savannah blindfold me. okay. i'm ready. >> all right. so now for the first test, we're going to have you sample two things. and we're blocking just your eyesight. give me your right hand, i'll give you a fork. >> i'm a lefty. all right. fine. >> so taste that. try to identify that. >> that's broccoli. >> great job. let's try something else. >> i love broccoli. >> keep in mind, we're only taking away your eyesight here. here's the second thing. try it. >> that's either an orange or a grapefruit. >> okay. easy enough, right? now, we're only removing your eyesight. this next one we're taking another one of your senses. your sense of smell. this is a nose clip.

>> do we have a big enough clip? >> hold on. does that hurt? i'm sorry. it looks really good. >> no, that's fine. >> so now we're taking away two of your senses and we're going to see if you can still identify the following cuisine. so a little spoon here. all right. try this. >> that is strong. it's like a ketchup. >> close but not quite. we've got one more for you. >> that's like a barbecue sauce. it's starting to work on my tongue more. >> wow. i'm impressed. we've got one more for you. >> okay. that is just nasty. whatever it is. it's slippery. it's scrambled eggs? what?

>> not quite. we can remove the eyes and the nose clip now. >> avocado. well, what was that? >> barbecue sauce. >> which was pretty impressive. >> it took awhile. >> here's the thing. when you remove people's eyesight, you can still identify food. but when you take away the sense of smell, it's much more difficult. >> we have time for one more. >> all right. we're going to show a video. pay attention to the word that's repeated. let's play it. ♪ . . >> oh, if i get this wrong. ♪ bill bill bill bill bill bill bill bill bill bill ♪ >> okay. good. >> and the question now, as soon

as that ends, okay. what is the word that you were able to identify or words that you were able to identify in that clip? >> obviously bill and pail. >> real. >> now, what's interesting is the only word that was actually said there was bill. but we actually primed you with visuals that confused your brain into thinking these other words were said. even though there was only one stimuli, the visuals tricked your brain into something else. >> do it with your eyes closed. >> wait. do it with our eyes closed? >> you'll see it's just one. >> it's the way they say it, it could be pail you must be a nightmare at parties. >> that bill video is catch y i. >> thanks, so much. love your show. catch "brain games" tonight on the national geographic channel. and up next, a performance from jake owen. but first this is "today" on

he doesn't know he was offside. >> i think he did know. it's one of those things you get the refs to think -- >> flag's already up at that point. >> he was way offsides. they showed the replay. it wasn't even close. >> he was like i did it. come on. he didn't know. >> this guy fixing his hair, he appeared to catch a glimpse of himself. the eyes go up and, yeah. tease it up. >> he's on the field with a lot of handsome guys. >> nobody on the field has been bad. >> everybody runs in this sport. how do they have an ounce of body fat? >> they can run all day. you know what? they all have pretty hot girlfriends to match. this kid from germany who

from the makers of frontline plus. just last year 44 children died in the united states of heatstroke after being left in cars. there have been 17 cases so far this year. that's according to kids in cars.org. most recently you've heard the story of 22-month-old cooper harris who died from overheating in the back of his father's suv in atlanta. that father has been charged with murder. >> but unlike that tragedy, many of these cases are found to be accidental. and parents magazine spoke to one couple who lost their young daughter back in 2011. we'll talk to them in just a moment, but first their story. >> my husband brett and i were blessed with the perfect little girl. sophia rae. but on may 25th, 2011, our lives

were changed forever. it was just like any other busy morning with a 1-year-old. my husband brett rushed out the door to drop our daughter off at day care before work. rae rae was strapped in the back of the truck wearing a flowered tropical dress that was a birthday gift from her teacher. >> it was on that drive that my perpetual nightmare began. for reasons i do not know or understand, with rae rae asleep in the back seat, i drove past the turn where i normally turn to drop her off and headed to work instead. forgetting she was in my care. a few hours later christie picked me up in her car for lunch and on the way, a stroke of panic came over me. why didn't the teacher say something about the cute dress rae rae was wearing this morning? my heart sunk to my chest. it was at that moment i knew she was still in my truck.

>> i floored it, ran a light, went in the wrong direction of traffic, and called 911 immediately. the nightmare had happened. rae rae had been forgot in the truck for nearly three hours in 90-degree heat. we got back to the office and for 40 minutes the first responders tried to save her before transferring her to the e.r. despite their best efforts, she couldn't be saved. rae had passed away just ten days after her first birthday. >> and christie and brett are with us with a university of south florida neuroscientist. good morning to you all. we don't want to make you walk through this again, i know how difficult it was just to look at those pictures and hear the story. but we do it because there's an important message to tell other people. it's been three years now, a little more. how are you all holding up? >> i think we're trying to move forward as best we can. we really channelled our grief and our pain into what we hope

will be a positive contribution by trying to prevent this tragedy from happening to other parent who is are not aware this is a danger, that they could become susceptible to. >> sadly this kind of tragedy happens all the time. we mentioned the numbers. 17 cases this year alone. but for you, that drive -- and i know how much you must replay that over and over in your mind and live with that moment. how difficult was that for you to overcome? >> i don't think i'll ever overcome it. there's ways of reaching out and trying to help. i can never bring my daughter back. i lost her forever. but in my heart if i can help somebody else just take a step back and realize we're just human and we make mistakes. and it can happen to you. >> you use the word mistake. and that's important here. because i think a lot of people, i've heard them say it over the

past week, people with kids say there's no way. there's no way you can forget about a kid, your own child in the back seat of your car. and then leave your child here as long as this gentleman allegedly did in georgia. how did it happen for you? explain to people who have kids, how could you do it? >> i ask myself that all the time. i don't have the answer to that, really. i love my daughter more than anything in the world. and i would have given my life for her in a moment. but something happened, a mistake, an accident happened and i live with it forever. so all i can do is reach out and try to do something good and tell others. >> doctor, you've worked with couples through this kind of grief and in this very situation like christie and brett have dealt with. what part of the brain is it that could allow something like

this to happen that you don't process or realize you left your child? how do you explain that? >> i've studied these cases now for ten years. in which you see good parents such as brett that forget their children. this has happened hundreds of times. i look for patterns. what's the common element in these cases? and you find the parent is following a well traveled route. when we do something out of habit, we activate a part of our brain that suppresses part of our brain used to remind us that there's a child in the car. an imaging study says when you do something out of habit, you actually forget things you had learned recently. and although it sounds a bit insensitive to compare remembering a child to remembering groceries, it's analogous to when you drive home and say you'll stop at the store and you forget. then you realize you have no

groceries. it's the same brain processes involved. >> i want to point out a couple things. you were investigated by authorities, completely cleared of any wrong doing. and the two of you have beautiful twin daughters now. 22 months old? >> yes, we do. >> how has your family taken shape since you lost rae rae and welcomed these beautiful girls in your life? >> well, they're a gift to us. and we call them our rainbow babies. i don't know if you've heard the term rainbow babies before, but a lot of parents who have experienced loss of a child either through stillbirth or late term miscarriages, there's lots of supports groups out there online to help these parents cope and hopefully build a family. a rainbow baby is described as a light in the center of the storm and darkness. and it doesn't take away the fact that the storm was there,

it doesn't take away the clouds or the rain, but it does offer a light of hope and a ray of color where previously there was nothing but darkness. and they truly are a joy for us. you know, we've named them in honor of their sister. they have the same middle name as she does. so that hopefully when they grow up no matter where they go, they'll know they have a big sister in the universe looking out for them and protecting them and that she did everything that she could to help protect other children. >> in our remaining seconds, rae rae's pledge, what is it? >> it is our foundation that we've formed in her honor. and the target for the pledge is to prevent child hot car deaths during the morning day care dropoff which is the number one source of child hot car deaths. so it's a dual commitment to safety surrounding that dropoff time between parents and teachers at the child care

centers where the parent will call if a child's going to be late or absent for any reason. but should a child not arrive on time, that teacher will call both or one parents immediately to determine the child's whereabouts. and that could save hundreds of children. just the case in ridgefield last week, one phone call could have saved that child. >> good for you turning something so horrible into some good for others. we appreciate you helping our viewers out there. >> and thank you to the doctor as well. >> we'll be back with more of "today" right after this. which is why he's investing ain his heart health by eatingw. kellogg's raisin bran ® good morning dad. hi, sweetie. here's another eye opener, not only is kellogg's raisin bran ® heart healthy, but its a delicious source of potassium. mom make you eat that? i happen to like raisins.
