voices will be heard. adriana, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. these students have quickly become the new face of an old debate and they say they'll be unrelenting in their call for stricter gun laws. we asked a 14-year-old last night if she's nervous talking to state lawmakers at the capital and she said "i got this." >> i pulled this together in a matter of 48 hours. it's just absolutely overwhelming. >> reporter: 17-year-old jacklin corin leading the call to change. >> a very symbolic message. >> reporter: with less than 24 hours before these teen activists leave to meet with legislative. >> it's a good way. >> reporter: a week after the gunfire, they want stricter laws on people with mental illness and an outright ban on assault weapons. >> we need to take a stand because since we have the

limelight placed on this because of this tragedy, we had to seize that opportunity so we can ensure there can be change in the future. >> reporter: a new nationwide poll taken after the shooting finds that america is still divided on an assault weapons ban. 50% support a ban. 46% oppose. and the students likely face an uphill battle in florida. a state with some of the least restrictive gun laws in the country. the never again movement has been picking up steam on social media since the ft. lauderdale rally saturday. protests were held across the country on monday. and two nationwide marchsters are pipeline for next month. alex wind is one of the movement's founders. >> now it stops. never again will this happen. never again will it happen in this country or any other country for that matter. we are the future. we are the ones that are going to make the change, you know. if congress or the state or anyone doesn't want to do anything, you know what, we're going to do it. >> before they head to tallahassee, many of the

students will attend the funeral of 16-year-old carmen schentrup. her parents said she was going to change the world. maybe her classmates can change it for her. >> carmen's funeral is one of at least two to be held today for victims of wednesday's shooting. more than 1,500 mourners attended services in coral springs, florida, yesterday, for 15-year-old luke hoyer and 14-year-old elena petty. elena's family described her as a determined young woman who loved to serve. she was a junior rotc member and volunteered to clean up after hurricane irma. luke's family remembered him for his smile, his good nature and his love of basketball. >> accused gunman nikolas cruz was in court yesterday, but he may not be back for a while. cruz's public defender says the suspect will probably not appear at future hearings because there's no need for it. manuel bojorquez is outside the

jail where cruz is held without bail. >> reporter: cruz's defense attorneys argued he should not be in the courtroom because it would create a, quote, media circus. but the judge ruled against them. saying he should be there. the accused gunman was dressed in a prison jump suit. he stared at the ground and spoke only briefly to his lawyer. the hearing focused on some of the rules going forward and whether documents including those about the state welfare agency's past interactions with cruz should be made public. also yesterday, florida governor rick scott called on the fbi to release details surrounding its failure to take action after receiving a tip last month about cruz. that tip described his alleged erratic behavior, desire to kill people and potential to conduct a school shooting. the fbi tells cbs news it has no comment on the governor's request. cbs news has also learned that over the last year, cruz purchased at least seven rifles. his defense attorneys had said he would plead guilty to 17 counts of premeditated murder if

the death penalty is off the table. but no decisions are yet made about that. >> all right, manuel, thank you very much. the family that took in nikolas cruz says they knew he was depressed but they had no idea how troubled he really was. james and kimberly snead let cruz live in their house after his mom died back in november. cruz was a friend of their son's. john blackstone sat down with the sneads to ask about the 19-year-old's life and his history with guns. >> the nik we knew was not the nik everybody else seemed to know. >> reporter: cruz had been living with the snead family for about three months when he allegedly carried out the deadliest school shooting in florida history. how many guns did he have? >> i'm not sure, five or six. >> reporter: he was coming into your house and you didn't know how many guns he had? >> i knew he had five or six. i don't know -- i don't know what kind they were. didn't matter what kind of guns they were. i have guns.

i respect guns. as long as they're handled properly. >> safely. >> safely. and one of the stipulations of him moving in is have a gun safe before he moved in. >> you wanted him to have a gun safe but you didn't know how many guns or what kind of guns they were? judge >> i know he had hunting rifles. >> thought they were just hunting rifles? >> i knew he had an assault rifle. i knew he used it out hunting. >> that seemed a reasonable thing? >> it's his right to own a gun. >> and you thought it was fine for a 19-year-old to have an ar-15? >> it's his right to have it. >> you feel any differently about that now? >> no. >> reporter: according to a florida department of children and families report, cruz suffered from depression, adhd and autism. between 2011 and 2016, broward county sheriff's deputies were called to cruz's mother's home 39 times. several of them allegedly due to cruz's violent outbursts.

didn't worry you, him having access to guns? >> no, he was just depressed. we thought he was just depressed over his mother's death. >> reporter: were there any signs of trouble beyond his depression? >> no. we've had him on a positive path, you know, trying to heal and he just blew it, just -- >> we had no idea. >> absolutely floored. absolutely floored. >> reporter: his future ruin the future of 17 others and their families. >> their families. >> very selfish act. >> reporter: do you feel any responsibility for that? >> we feel heartfelt sorrow for the families involved. as far as being responsible, feeling responsibility, you know, we worked that out and there's nothing different we would have done. >> james snead also told john blackstone he thought there was only one key to the gun safe where he made cruz keep his weapons, but snead now believes there were actually two keys and

nikolas cruz had the other. >> interesting interview to hear their perspective. while americans are divided over banning assault weapons, a new poll shows they agree that more needs to be done to stop gun violence. 77% says congress is not doing enough to prevent mass shootings in the u.s. 62% say president trump is not doing enough. margaret brennan is at the white house. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. press secretary sarah sanders says here at the white house officials will take the next two weeks to meet with students, educators, law enforcement and governors to discuss what can be done. president trump has said no student or teacher should be in danger in an american school. >> shame on you! >> reporter: dozens of high school students called for action on gun control. even posing as corpses outside the white house. 16-year-old whitney bowen said words of comfort from the president fell short. >> something needs to change and politicians have the power to make that change.

>> very sad. >> reporter: on friday, the president visited parkland school shooting victims but ignored questions on gun control. >> do more gun laws need to be changed, mr. president? >> reporter: white house officials later said he is reviewing a bill sponsored by republican senator john cornyn of texas. aims to make the federal background check system more effective by improving how federal and state governments report offenses, including criminal records, that could prohibit people from buying a gun. >> the scourge of school shooting after school shooting. >> reporter: senator chris murphy co-sponsored the bill. but he also cautioned that no one should pretend this bill alone is an adequate response to this epidemic. >> keep your gun. >> reporter: one gun control law the president did enact was to overturn obama era regulation aimed at preventing mentally ill persons from buying a gun. >> we're restoring the rule of law and protecting our cherished second amendment.

>> reporter: florida republican senator marco rubio argued further gun control is pointless since there are already so many guns on american streets. >> that genie's out of the bottle. the same argument is get rid of all nuclear weapons. we could but china's not, russia's not. >> reporter: now, the nra does support the cornyn/murphy bill which does not expand background checks, nor does it ban any kind of weapon, which is one of the demands made by the student organizers in parkland you heard adriana diaz speak with. we should also mention the administration is still reviewing whether or not to ban bump stocks. that's the device that the shooter in the las vegas massacre used to increase his rate of fire. >> margaret, thanks. one thing about that polling is that even though people want congress to move, there's been no change in opinion about assault weapons after this, which is what those students are calling for. president trump is endorsing mitt romney in the utah senate race. the president tweeted yesterday that romney, quote, will make a great senator and worthy successor to orrin hatch.

hatch is retiring at the end of the year. romney tweeted a thanks for the president's support. >> the two republicans are putting aside bad blood stretching from the 2016 presidential campaign to as recently as a few months ago. romney often criticized he also said he would not have accepted mr. trump's endorsement during his 2012 presidential bid in light of his divisive campaign rhetoric. >> donald trump is a phony, a fraud. his promises are as worthily as a degree from trump university. >> i don't like romney. he thinks he's hot stuff. >> there's plenty of evidence that mr. trump is a con man, a fake. >> the last election should have been won except romney choked like a dog, he choked. he went -- i can't breathe. >> mr. trump also previously tweeted that romney was a disaster candidate and a dope during the transition romney was under consideration to be trump's secretary of state. it's interesting to see these two have mended fences.

it's hard to believe when you look at how personal those attacks were back in the day. >> whether they meant it or just politically expedient for both of them to make this kind of endorsement. >> and whether it lasts through the news cycle till tomorrow. i mean, their dnas are entirely different. >> that's right, that's right. all right, much of the country is facing some unusual weather today. temperatures are swinging wildly in many areas. it's going to feel like spring here in the northeast. new york will be in the 60s today. and 70s tomorrow. washington's high is expected to hit 73 today. but out west, the freeze is on. the northern rockies are facing temperatures as low as 26 below. and it will drop below freezing in much of california. >> millions of people in the midwest and south fashioned flooding. residents near louisville, kentucky, were forced to move to higher ground. in cincinnati, water levels could rise another 12 inches by tomorrow morning. flood warningings are in place through saturday. heavy rains triggered new flood warnings along the ohio river.

the threat stretches from ohio to missouri. team usa bounced back at the winter olympics. american athletes won medals on skates and skis. the shibutani siblings won bronze in ice dance. and brita sig gourny skied to bronze in the women's halfpipe. ben tracy in south korea with the team's big turnaround. >> reporter: good morning. there's more good news. the u.s. men's hockey team also won its do or die match so they will move on to quarterfinals. a nice shot in the arm for team usa which has struggled a little bit in these games. >> she just needs to go really big. >> reporter: the u.s. women went huge in the halfpipe. >> tremendous speed coming into the alley-oop. >> reporter: brita sigourney attacked a 22-foot wall in the ski event l all of her tricks for a place on the

podium. >> and she's taking home the bronze. >> everyone was skiing so well. i've never seen an entire field of women skiing be pushed to such a high level in one event and i think that was honestly like the climax of our sport so far. >> reporter: but the defending olympic champion, american maddy bowman -- >> here's where she's had all her trouble. does she have the right nine? >> reporter: crashed on all three of her runs. the agony of defeat painfully clear. there was also some heart break in the ice dance final for madison chock and evan bates. >> oh, no. >> reporter: but the shib sibs, maia and alex shibutani, made the most of their last dance, twirling their way to a bronze medal in what they called the best skate of their lives. yet nobody could compete with the canadians, scott moir and

tessa virtue were perfection. winning gold and becoming the most decorated figure skaters in olympic history. but one of the most talked about moments here in the past 24 hours is perhaps the least remarkable. take a look at this. right there, that is a woman named elizabeth swaney. she's not exactly conquering the halfpipe. she doesn't have any tricks. swaney is an american who has always dreamfed of being in the olympics but would have had no chance of being in with those skills. she joined hungary's team. by showing up at enough international competitions and with no real competition in hungary, she accumulated enough points to make it to the olympics. as one man said on twitter, she has validated the mantra of work smarter, not harder. norah. >> she can still ski very, very well. good for her. finding that loophole. >> the shib sibs, who's fun to

watch is their mom. she is hilarious. you can see why those two are so fun. >> ben tracy, thank you for that story in pyeongchang. a lawmaker prominent in the me too movement faces a growing list of sexual misconduct allegations. ahead, former employees describe talk of sexual activity inside california's state capital. plus, you'll hear h a frigid start to the day for a lot of areas in the bay area. especially the north bay and the east bay. here is a look at your high temperatures. low to mid 50s and about 10 degrees below average. we will be subfreezing all week long, in the mornings. afternoon highs staying above average and there is a chance for scattered showers in the low levels, thursday.

♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning." here are three things you should know this morning. facebook's vice president of advertising is apologizing for a twitter post that appeared to contradict robert mueller's russia investigation. rob goldman tweeted friday after the special counsel indicted 13 russians for interfering in the u.s. election. the indictment mentioned facebook 35 times. facebook executives said swaying the election was not the main goal of the russia misinformation campaign. president trump later retweeted him. facebook seemed to distance it itself from goldman's tweet saying nothing we found contra diblg tickets the special counsel's indictment. any suggestion otherwise is wrong.

>> that was wrong what he said. the indictment does say they were trying to disparage hillary clinton and support donald trump. and this news a federal judge approved a $300 million loan for puerto rico's troubled power company. officials say the money will keep the agency operating until late march. the nearly 250,000 power customers are still without power five months after hurricane maria devastated the island. and change it's coming to the national pasttime. major league baseball will limit pitching mound visits in an effort to speed up the action. the new rules announced yesterday limit coach, manager and player visit to six per nine-inning games. used to be an unlimited amount. the association did refuse but did sign an agreement saying it did not oppose the rules. the case of a man who lived for hours after he was declared dead is set to go to trial in april. tammy cleveland says her husband michael kept moving and breathing after she was told he died. she said hospital staff ignored her pleas for help until a

coroner alerted them saying dead people don't move. >> the doctor and the hospital say they did nothing wrong. and the delay did not cause his ultimate death. on friday a new york judge allowed the lawsuit to proceed but reportedly trimmed cleveland's claims and denied her request for punitive damages. she spoke to our dr. tara narula one week ago today about what she saw the night her husband seemingly came back to life. good morning. >> tragic story. >> it is. >> michael cleveland was a 46-year-old married father with no known history of heart problems until he went into cardiac arrest one night in 2014. >> one of my favorite pictures. usually always said something silly and making me laugh. >> tammy cleveland's happy memories cannot erase the nightmare of her husband's final hours. >> can you imagine what it must have been like for him to listen to the people that i should be able to trust telling -- trying to convince me and my family he's dead, and he's laying there

alive. >> michael cleveland collapsed while shopping for dinner this buffalo area supermarket. medics performed cpr and shocked his heart and rushed him to nearby degraff memorial hospital. less than an hour later michael was pronounced dead by er dr. gregory perry. >> when you first walked in the room what was your first observation? >> michael wasn't dead. he was following me with his eyes. it wasn't just an involuntary thing. he looked right at me. >> you saw his eyes tracking you. you saw his body moving. what else did you witness that made you think, he might still be alive? >> he was, you know, trying to hug me, he brought his legs up on the gurney, knees bent, flat footed. i mean he was breathing. >> she claims over the next several hours, her husband continued showing signs of life and his family repeatedly asked medical staff to check him. >> did you see his chest moving? >> yes. chest moving up and down. >> while dr. perry entered the

room twice the lawsuit says on those first visits he did not perform a physical exam to confirm life or death. >> he never put a hand on him and he never put a stethoscope on him. >> did he hook him up to a monitor and do an ekg. >> michael had the tube down his throat. >> what was his explanation for why michael was moving? >> he said michael is only 46 years old. he said he's got a lot of life to expel out of his body. >> a coroner came to remove the body. according to his pretrial testimony he was startled and called for nurses to get dr. perry. dead people don't move, he said. he needs to go in there and check his pulse. two hours and 40 minutes after michael had been pronounced dead, dr. perry examined him and found a pulse. he was alive. medical tests showed michael suffered a heart attack. he was transferred to buffalo general medical center. doctors there performed a procedure to open a blocked

artery but it was too late. at 10:48 the next morning, michael cleveland died. >> and i need closure and i need accountability. >> dr. perry and degraff memorial hospital would not comment citing the pending lawsuit. degraff memorial said in legal filings it followed all medical standards and required procedures. dr. perry seen at his 2010 medical school graduation said in his deposition that he did check for a pulse in those first two visits and found no signs of life. but on the third visit michael cleveland's condition was, quote, vastly different. the doctor at buffalo general who opened the blocked artery stated in his deposition that michael cleveland was too sick and he would never have survived even without the delay at degraff. cbs news legal tlslast rikki klieman says that will be for the jury. >> the defense said they did everything they could and he was

pronounced dead no matter even if that was an error and we know it was an error because he became alive that would have made no difference. he was going to die anyway. plaintiffs experts will say, of course there was a chance that he would have survived. he was only 46 years old. >> do you carry guilt that you were supposed to be michael's voice? you couldn't do enough for him? >> i tried. i trusted the medical field at the time. i feel horrible. >> it's hard for any doctor who wasn't there to comment on this case but that being said in general when someone has a heart attack due to a blocked artery every minute counts because the heart muscle dies quickly without oxygen. >> and you can't help but feel for mrs. cleveland, feel her pain and what you said every minute and second counts in a time like this. what can families do when the hospital staff isn't listening to them and you say i know what

i see here. >> that's one of the messages and i know that's what tammy felt strongly about. you don't have to feel helpless or powerless even though you're in a vulnerable state as a patient or family member. there is a ladder or chain of command you can escalate things to. go to the attending physician in charge of the unit you're in, whether that's the er or the floor, always an administrator on call, chief medical officer and executive director and feel you can escalate things if you're not being heard. >> never stand down when you can see something. >> that's right. >> apparently seems -- she saw him following her with his eyes. >> she did. >> really interesting story, tara. >> interesting and tragic. >> yeah. >> yes. >> thank you. >> all right. one of california's leading metoo activists faces multiple accusations of sexual misconduct herself. >> it's shocking but for me it was clear these are untruths. >> how the state lawmaker says she has no plans to step down despite calling on others who face similar allegations to do so. and with we invite you to subscribe to our cbs this

elon musk wants to create a space in case something happens to us on earth and has set his sights on to mars. we're talking about a new excitement, a new energy that we didn't have for 50 years. >> talk that about what spacex is doing tomorrow, the demo that they are launching. >> yeah, we're talking about the fact that the "fal ton heavy" rocket -- "falcon heavy" rocket has within it the dragon capsule which can seat many astronauts and go fully around the moon. now starting next year, we're going back to the moon on an unmanned mission with the nasa rocket. we have two moon rockets, by the way. nasa's racket sponsored by taxpayers, and the "falcon heavy" sponsored by elon musk, spacex. starting next year, we're going to go back to the moon with an unmanned mission to surround the moon. >> we can always feel your passion and enthusiasm when you come. somebody said about your books and about you, you always continue to astonish and alarm. and the alarming part must be on page three when you say "one day the earth will end.

it will be inhospitable to human life." >> yeah. >> so uplifting. >> it's sad to say, but 99.9% of all life forms on the earth eventually go extinct. extinction is the norm on the planet earth. but we're different. we can reason, we can plan, we can plot ahead. we don't have to simply face our doom. and remember -- >> we reproduce -- >> that's right. remember, we're talking about events that are so far in the future, no one is saying that global warming or nuclear warfare is going to end humanity any time soon. but we need plan b. we need a up about plan just in case. >> what do you think about contact with another alien civilization? >> let me stick my neck out. i think that in this century we will have an intercept of a conversation, eavesdropping on aliens in outer space, communicating with each other. we have identified 4,000 planets orbiting other stars. we now believe that there could be over a billion earth-like

planets in our back yard, in the galaxy. and to assume that we're the only game in town, i think is a little presumptuous. i think it's inevitable that we will make contact with aliens. and then the question is, how come they don't land on the white house lawn and advertise their presence? >> yeah. they'll be shot. >> right. what are the aliens like? >> well, if you go into the forest, do you talk to the squirrels or the deer? maybe for a while, but eventually you get bored because they don't talk back to you. >> when you're in the forest, are you talking to squirrels and deer? >> initially, but i get bored because they don't talk back. aliens are that advanced that they land on the earth, we're like squirrels to them. we have nothing to offer them. they'll leave us alone for the most part. >> so, is -- is mars the place we should be thinking about? i love that you write about astronauts favoring some of the aesthetically pleasing rewards of the red planet. sounds inviting like the chamber of commerce. but is it -- is it mars that we should be thinking about or other earthlike planets that

might be discovered soon enough? >> mars is the closest game in town. venus, of course, is spectacular, but it's super hot. 900 degrees fahrenheit on the surface of venus. mars is cold, but it's doable. and we have, as you know, scientists have looked at the surface, scoped out potential landing sites. and private entrepreneurs, jeff bezos, elon musk, have set their sights on mars because they realize it's earthlike, and we could begin the process of terraforming mars. we're terraforming the earth right now. that's called global warming. we're changing the earth. we can also change mars, of course over many, many decades. we can change mars to become more earthlike. >> do you have a desire to go there? >> i'm a coward. >> me, too. >> i like to have my two feet on the ground. let someone else do the heroics. a new generation of young children. they're being energized. they say to themselves "i want to be that astronaut. i want to go to mars." this is a new sputnik moment for

the next generation. >> i will cheer them on. >> yeah. >> squirrels are more verbose there. >> very chatty. thank you very much. the future of humanity is the name of the book, out today wherever you buy your books. lots of choices. sunken treasure worth more than $50 million from an 1857 shipwreck will go on display this week. ahead, the tale of deception and perseverance behind the decades' long quest to find what's called a garden of

i am extremely proud of jackie, gaby and stephanie. we worked with pg&e to save energy because we wanted to help the school. they would put these signs on the door to let the teacher know you didn't cut off the light.

the teachers, they would call us the energy patrol. so they would be like, here they come, turn off your lights! those three young ladies were teaching the whole school about energy efficiency. we actually saved $50,000. and that's just one school, two semesters, three girls. together, we're building a better california.

♪ ♪ it's been called the greatest lost treasure in u.s. history. more than $50 million worth of gold sank to the bottom of the ocean when the "ss central america" sank in the storm in 1857. what unfolded afterward is a tale of tragedy, deception, and ultimately discovery. jamie yuccas is with the sunken treasure in a secure lab in santa ana, california, with how it was eventually found. jamie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this gold bar is just part of the treasure scientists have been cleaning and curating in this small lab over the past six weeks. each of these bars is worth something a little bit different. this little guy is worth tens of thousands of dollars, while this big one is worth more than $1 million. each of these bars' worth is based on its weight, purity, and

the history behind them. slowly and carefully, more than a century of sediment is removed from the treasure. some 3,100 gold coins and more than 10,000 silver coins all recovered in 2014 from what's called "the ship of gold." bob evans is the chief scientist and curator of the treasure. >> this is a whole new season of discovery for me. there's something new and wonderful comes out every day. they have stories to tell. >> reporter: the story began in 1857 when the "ss central america" went down in a hurricane. about 160 miles off the coast of south carolina. 425 people died in the storm. >> this was a largely forgotten moment in american history because a few short years after that the civil war broke out. >> reporter: during the california gold rush, the 285-foot steam ship shuttled tons of gold from the west to banks in the east. the gold deliveries were

essential in helping maintain the nation's economic stability. evans began hunting for this treasure more than 30 years ago. he was on board the expedition led by captain tommy thompson in the late 1980s. the first to spot what they coined "the garden of gold," more than a mile below the surface. >> gold bars and coins lightly covered with sediment. that's kind of what's fascinating about it in some ways. you have this coral that is growing out of a block of gold. >> reporter: using a robotic vehicle, they built it in a garage, they were able to scoop up some $50 million in gold. >> whoa! hello! look at that! >> reporter: investors who helped finance the $13 million expedition claimed thompson never paid them. he disappeared, along with hundreds of gold coins. >> the marshals hunted for him for two and a half years.

>> reporter: authorities finally found thompson in 2015. he remains behind bars for refusing to answer questions about the missing coins. a second salvage effort was launched in 2014. after years of legal wrangling over ownership of the treasure, former sports agent and coin enthusiast dwight manley purchased the rights to the fortune. >> there are dozens of coins this time that are the finest known. >> reporter: manley's passion for coins began as a child, collecting pennies. by age 12, he had his own business cards. what did you write? >> "i don't really have a coin company. i'm only 12." they're like little time capsules. every time you hold one, who had it before, what it was for. >> reporter: manley is putting the coins up for sale. he believes even one in okay condition could fetch a few thousand dollars. but you'll need deep pockets to buy a gold bar. >> something like this would be $250,000. >> reporter: during the second expedition in 2014, a safe was found.

inside, a saddlebag packed with bundles of personal treasures. for the first time since 1857 -- >> i'm going to simply cut the cord right here. >> reporter: -- evans opens another. i have delicate fingers if you'd like help. >> no, that's okay. >> reporter: inside, a stickpin and broach made from gold nuggets. >> that's what little kids want to do. they want to fantasize that they find a secret room full of gold. well, that's what these bags are. >> reporter: from a rare $20 gold piece to everyday pocket change. >> 18 cents. go figure. >> reporter: call it a token bonus. a small addition to the find of a lifetime. >> the 45 ingots are roughly $12 million. >> reporter: wow. all of this treasure will be on public display starting thursday at the long beach expo south of los angeles. if you're wondering if there's even more gold out there, dwight tells me there are two spots

they haven't gotten to yet. so who knows, norah. >> wow. jamie, so fascinating. you do always love the idea of finding a treasure. >> finding treasure. the guy in prison who isn't talking, seems like he might know where the gold is. >> there's so much history in this. this is gold that came from the gold rush, right? all the way around -- and in 1857, it creatd the first global panic in the united states, first economic crisis. >> people will be going to california. >> all right. >> take a looksy. >> thank you, jamie. and you can hear more of "cbs this morning" on our podcast and itunes and apple's podcast app. today, author chloe benjamin discusses her novel "the immortalist" that traces the lives and past of four siblings after they learn the exact date of their deaths as children from a fortuneteller. hmm. >> would you want to know? i wouldn't want to know the date
