collectively, both countries seeing 3,000 buildings have collapsed. the death toll has soared past 2,200. thousands of people are injured. thousands more from all around the world are getting ready to descend on the region to try and help. >> reporter: whole buildings collapsing from the earthquake's power, unable to stand against this overnight quake. almost 8 on the richter scale. followed by a second earthquake nearly as powerful as the first. the morning light revealing devastation and wreckage. a toddler in syria bloody, but conscious, pulled from the rubble. and other survivors taken from collapsed buildings, lucky to be alive. three huge tremors snapping streetlights and sending car alarms wailing. the moment was recorded on security camera footage. this is one of the region's

worst quakes in decades, striking while people slept just after 4:00 a.m. the quake hitting a huge area of southern turkey and northern syria, an area already war-torn. in northern syria, they are searching for survivors in opposition-held territory, hospitals there already overwhelmed with the injured. >> we need help. we need the international community to do something to help us, to support us. >> reporter: turkey's president erdogan said rescue workers will be joined by troops to search for survivors, but they have a vast area to cover. those searching calling for silence as they try and listen for trapped survivors. this rescuer asking someone trapped what color are you wearing. are you wearing pink? a frantic rush to find those caught in the rubble. president biden tweeting this morning, i'm deeply saddened by

the loss of life caused by the earthquake in turkey and syria. i've directed my team to closely monitor the situation in coordination with turkey and provide any and all needed assistance. turkey just announcing that schools nationwide will be closed this week. that just further highlights the gravity of this situation. the world is coming to help. dozens of humanitarian aid organizations have offered their assistance. we know that european union countries are sending search-and-rescue crews to the area. president erdogan of turkey saying he's heard from more than 45 countries offering assistance, including, including war-torn ukraine where president zelenskyy is offering to send search-and-rescue crews in. we know that this is going to be a huge crisis and right now the world is just watching this humanitarian crisis unfold. >> we're beginning to take the toll this morning. thank you very much.

another major story this morning, the ongoing drama surrounding the chinese spy balloon shot down off the south carolina coast this weekend. the navy and coast guard are now working to recover as much debris as possible so it can all be analyzed and studies. this as president biden faces criticism from republicans and chinese officials for the administration's handling of the incident we have two reports. we're going to start with nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent, andrea mitchell with us in studio 1a good morning. >> good morning. while the search of the debris field continues, fbi experts are trying to assess the intelligence damage. the more immediate problem could be the political controversy as republicans go on the attack, even though the biden administration says china sent three balloons into u.s. airspace during the trump administration, though never for this duration. as navy divers search for debris, this video shows what appears to be part of the balloon being brought back to shore on sunday.

shore on sunday. ships are canvassing a 10-mile debris field in shallow waters with the fbi on hand to start analyzing the wreckage as police seek help from beachgoers. >> if any debris washes up, we need to know about it right away. >> the balloon first entered u.s. airspace over the aleutian islands last tuesday it moved to canada, reentering u.s. airspace over idaho wednesday, flying at 60,000 feet. u.s. officials tell nbc news, spy planes were circling the balloon as it flew across the country, capturing images and data china says it was a weather balloon that drifted off course, but the u.s. says it was a spy balloon with china managing its direction. although the balloon flew over montana, which has 150 missile sites, u.s. officials say they mitigated its surveillance capabilities without providing specifics on how once the balloon reached the atlantic coast it was shot down with a single side winder missile from an f-22 fighter jet. >> we got it

>> boom! >> we have eyes on the balloon falling. >> a spokesperson for the chinese ministry of foreign affairs responng this morning, calling it an unacceptable and irresponsible action china raised eyebrows over the weekend saying they retained the right to respond further meanwhile, republicans slam president biden for not shooting it down immediately. >> the president taking it down over the atlantic is sort of like the quarterback tackling the quarterback after the game is over. the satellite had completed its mission. >> on saturday, the president said his military advisers did not want to risk harming civilians or damaging property with falling debris. >> ordered the pentagon to shoot it down as soon as possible. they decided that the best time to do that was when it got over water. >> the biggest question puzzling top u.s. officials, why would president xi risk sending a spy unit across the entire united

states, clearly visible from the ground knowing it would blow up a high stakes meeting with secretary of state blinken that was supposed to take place this weekend or was this a long planned military operation not coordinated with china's president. >> those are good questions, andrea thank you so much, and joining us now is jeremy bash, the former chief of staff at the cia and defense department under the obama administration jeremy, good morning andrea raises the question, why now? what's your analysis >> well, i think this is probably part of a long running effort by the chinese pla, their army, to field this capability, high-surveillance air ships to conduct aerial surveillance of sensitive places, and although these balloons have approached the united states before, never before it had hung out for so long over so many sensitive sites. i think president biden was exactly right to order the military to shoot it down, and by the way, it was the first time we've shot down enemy aircraft over the united states since world war ii >> explain the significance of where it was flying, you mentioned the missile sites, how sensitive it is, what is an aircraft like that capable of

gleaning at that distance? what would it be looking for >> it's got probably high resolution cameras it probably doesn't have the most sophisticated technology because it's not stealthy. we saw it in plain sight, we could shoot it down, but it's probably staring down at our missile sites, our strategic command in nebraska, and other places where we field our aircraft that carry our nuclear weapons and so we've got to get it out of the sky. i think we have to develop a capability to reel in those balloons when they come down we can't wait for them to go out over water that's too far and too long. >> one of the issues and criticism coming to the white house is how do you let a balloon like that fly across the continental united states and continue whatever mission it is on the white house says we were able to mitigate whatever kind of surveillance activity it might have been doing. but how does that happen how does that play out >> yeah, we're pretty good at that we can cover things with tarps and doors, put aircraft in hangars, we can tell people to get off unencrypted

communications we know how to defeat satellite surveillance this i think was fairly routine and the military's call about when it was safest to bring this down this was about three buses worth of a payload if you have that reign over several miles of debris field, that could hit a kindergarten, a hospital, you don't want to risk manner lives for an unmanned aircraft. >> the u.s. state of relations with china, a general, whose memo leaked, he said i hope i am wrong. my gut tells me we will fight in 2025 a fighting war with china. >> i hope he's wrong too, but president xi jinping says he wants to build the capability to take taiwan by 2027. our military has to be ready >> jeremy bash, thank you very much appreciate it. also breaking overnight, new evacuations ordered in northeastern ohio amid mounting concerns over a catastrophic explosion at the site of a train derailment there nbc's gabe gutierrez is here with the very latest on that hey, gabe, good morning. >> hoda, good morning, federal

catastrophic failure. >> reporter: ohio governor mike dewine is now creating a 1-mile evacuation zone ordering some 2,000 people to leave the area. >> it's kind of crazy for a small town like this. >> reporter: as of last night, the governor said an estimated 500 residents remained in the 1 mile zone, warning that those with children who stay could be arrested for not complying with the urgent evacuation noticelea. >> we're at the point where we need you to leave. there could be possible charges if you choose to stay. >> reporter: federal investigators are on the scene trying to determine what caused the derailment. >> the crew did receive an alarm from a wayside defect detector shortly before the derailment indicating a mechanical issue. then an emergency brake application initiated. >> reporter: as officials work to minimize the dangers of the derailment, they say air quality and the water supply remains safe >> we are not aware of any elevated readings that would --

we would anticipate to have impact to human health. >> reporter: so far no injuries or death have been reported but authorities are proceeding with extreme caution as they continue to monitor the crash site this morning. >> all right gabe, thank you so much, we appreciate it. we got a lot more to cover this morning craig is with us good morning >> did you stay up at all last night? >> no, i want you to tell us about it. >> the grammys outdid themselves last night let's talk about music's biggest night of the year, the 65th grammy awards, it was a historic night in los angeles for a variety of reasons nbc's jason kennedy was there. he joins us with all of the highlights what a show. >> what a night. good morning, everybody, this is easily the most star-packed grammys we have seen in awhile heavy hitters like beyonce, adele, taylor swift, harry styles all in attendance beyonce setting a record for the most career grammys. perhaps the most surprising headline of the morning, the winner of one of the most competitive of the night, album
