studies class. it is kind of like about the historical significance of cuba and history and a very interesting class and i love history and it is usually from 7:00 to 8:50 and the classroom is not huge. there's probably like 20-ish, 30 people maybe in there, and i usually sit about the third or fourth row, smack dab in the middle, and i always sit, i sit next to the same girl when i go to that class every single day and when i was in class. it was about i would like to san almost 8:20 it felt like, a little before then, i was sitting and my professor was lecturing and then i heard like, it was either three or four like really, i could hear gunshots directly behind my head, and i could see the smoke or powder or something from the weapon firing and then i could smell and

immediately i dropped to the floor with all my classmates and someone was yelling there was a shooter and everybody needed to get down on the ground at that moment, i thought i was going to die i was so scared. i didn't cry which is surprising for me my mm i just like kind of kept quiet and i called my mom. and, mom, what did you do when i was on the phone when i called? >> i heard like three gunshots and screaming and we jumped in our car and drove up there >> and after i heard those gunshots, my classmates in the back of the classroom started to scream for help, and my other classmates jumped into action and tried to help everyone if it weren't for my classmates helping everyone, i don't think that we would have all made it because immediately someone was like needs to break open this window

we need to break open this window so immediately after he was done like firing, and the kids in the back were screaming for help, i saw a boy, and he had like had his shirt off and he was running to see if he could go and close the door because the shooter, he came in through the back door, so the door here, and there's a door here, and he came through the back and he just started attacking people and i will never forget the screams of my classmates, screaming in pain for help and after they got the window open, they started to guide people through and it's a weird window because the bottom is like a small rectangle and it is about this big and it only kind of opens one way, kind of tilts down but the top was a larger pane but it is way harder to crawl over it because it is like way high up. and i was really scared and people were crawling through the window and i was like one of the like either first-ish kind of people or maybe like in the

middle to climb out the window. but there was a boy in my class and he was waiting outside the window and he was catching people, helping people down. and i'm so grateful that he was there to help people out of the window, so they wouldn't fall, and they could run away. and as soon as i fell out of the window, i kind of like hit the ground a little, and then i didn't have my laptop, and i didn't have my textbook. i just grabbed my backpack and my phone, and i just ran for my life i didn't know where the guy was. i assumed he was somewhere in the vicinity, i just kind of looked around and just ran, and that's what my other classmates did, as well they just kind of ran in all sorts of directions. and my boyfriend, cameron, he is also a sophomore at michigan state and he usually comes and picks me up from that class, and he usually sits in the lobby at 8:30

he didn't because i think if my boyfriend was there, he would have definitely gotten injured by the shooter so i almost think it was, i don't know, a miracle or something, that he was not there when the shooter entered the building >> that is one of the most harrowing tales. we're so happy to see you here claire, when he walked in the classroom, did he say anything or did you just hear the gunshots first >> no, i just heard the gunshots and everybody dropped. and i was trying to process what was happening. and i kind of like disassociating i felt super spaced out and my heart dropped and my chest just tightened and i just was like so scared until they got that window open, and then like a wave of relief like flowed over me as everyone like helping each other, like exit the classroom, and then my brave classmates in the back that were helping those who were injured

that must have been very, very scary for them >> i cannot imagine. >> they helped as much as they could. >> as you said it yourself, it's a traumatizing impact, what you have witnessed just hours ago. and to be reunited with your mom natalie, i can only imagine how a mother feels when you get a call like that i know you raced to be with her. how are you guys doing what was that reunion like when you got to put your arms around her? >> it was my worst nightmare getting that phone call. and when i stood up to head for the car, i felt like my legs were going to give out because i couldn't believe what i was hearing on the phone we were happy that she was safe. i mean i feel like she literally like dodged a bullet >> natalie, you're incredibly, incredibly brave we're in awe of what you endured, and that you're sitting here with us today you raised a great daughter, natalie. >> thank you >> claire, we're sending you our love, and thank you for sharing your story

it's important, really important. it's not easy but important. and we just want to say thank you. >> thank you, guys >> thank you >> oh, my gosh >> you know, this happens so often that sometimes i think you can become numb to it but not when you hear a young girl like that describe everything about what they went through, and you think of the families who don't get to be reunited this morning. >> yes. >> she is very brave to come and tell her story it's important she did. let's turn to the ongoing search for debris and answers after the u.s. military shot down three unidentified flying objects over the u.s. and in canada in recent days. the white house is still trying to determine where they came from nbc's tom costello has that story. hey, tom, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, hoda. u.s. officials say they are not actively tracking any new unidentified objects in the sky. the pentagon says it still doesn't have the debris or the answers about the weekend objects that it shot down. were they launched from another country? a spy agency was this something benign like a

weather balloon? the white house justifies the shooting by saying they could have posed a risk to a civilian aircraft four days since a u.s. fighter jet shot down the first unidentified object of the weekend and still more mystery than answers the white house and pentagon say they have not determined yet who launched the objects, down in alaska, in the canadian yukon and lake huron in contrast to the suspected chinese surveillance balloon brought down off the coast of south carolina one week earlier. >> we know the first one was chinese. they admitted it they claimed it was a weather balloon. we know it's not. >> reporter: the white house says, the weekend objects about the size of a small car, were unmanned, not capable of propulsion, and not sending communication signals. while the pentagon says it cannot rule out that the objects were conducting surveillance with one flying over sensitive military sites, they all posed potential threats to civil aviation including passenger planes >> there was a very real

potential risk to civilian air traffic. the one shot down on saturday, i'm sorry, yesterday, was about 20,000 feet. and the two shot down friday and saturday were at about 40,000 feet. >> reporter: faa regulations require unmanned free balloons to be tracked by radar operators must notify the faa of every step of their balloon's flight in extreme winter weather, u.s. and canadian forces continue to search for remnants from the weekend shoot-downs. so far, no luck. >> we've not recovered any debris from the three most recent shoot-downs >> reporter: but u.s. divers have recovered more electronics from the suspected chinese spy balloon off south carolina on monday, china claimed the u.s. has flown at least ten surveillance balloons over chinese air space in just the last year. the white house says that's not true and contrary to viral internet speculation, aviation sources and the white house say there is no evidence that these ufos are

from another planet. >> there is no, again, no indication of extra terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. >> a lot of internet chatter by the way a lot of criticism from republicans who say president biden owes the country answers about the objects that were shot down the white house says it is regularly briefing members of congress all senators expected to receive a classified briefing on the matter later this morning. hoda >> tom costello for us in dc, thank you. 16 minutes after the hour. we say good morning to craig. >> hey, savannah, hoda, good morning. good morning to you, as well. rescue and recovery efforts in earthquake-ravaged areas of turkey and syria are now entering a second week the death toll continues to climb as rescuers cling to small glimmers of hope that more survivors can be found nbc's kelly cobiella joins us once again from southern turkey. kelly, good morning to you. >> reporter: craig, good morning. with so many hospitals in the

dr. fisher, where to go? >> first of all, there is a hard way and an easy way. the hard way is to get to know everybody, go to join various clubs, you know, have lots of parties, get dressed up all the time and there's an easy way. and that's get on the internet, and i work with match.com, and i do studies for them, and as it turns out, people who date online, any kind of online, as opposed to offline, are more likely to be fully employed, more likely to be highly educated, and more likely to be interested in a long-term connection and less likely to divorce so it's the place. i just want to say one thing about a piece of advice. if you go on the internet, don't binge. don't binge. because the brain is not built to deal with more than about nine choices, so meet nine people. >> that's a lot. >> between video chatting or in person, the brain is built on, look at a person, but get off. and get to know somebody better, give people a chance. >> don't go wide, go deep as they say next up, this is a viewer question

this is how parents feel how you can reconnect and ignite that spark in your marriage when you become empty nesters in retirement years? >> you want to trigger all three brain systems, sex drives and feelings of deep romantic love and deep attachment so have sex. the more sex you have, the more you want that's very good it is very good, very healthy, if you're with the right person at the right hand. to trigger romance, novelty, novelty, novelty do novel things together it drives up the dopamine system in the brain, it gives you energy focus and romance and attachment stay in touch. >> physically. >> yes, lie in bed and listen to a book on tape get rid of the big armchairs and sit next to each other on the couch. >> cozy in. >> cozy in. i like that. >> and by the way you said you met your husband is you're an optimistic person. people are attracted to energy. >> exactly. >> and if i had to sum up one thing to find a partner, be happy. it's catnip. >> it's catnip i gotcha
