[ bell tolling ] where nearly 3,000 people lost their lives on that crisp september day in 2001. >> dad, i miss you. i think of you all the time. >> and my poppy, firefighter from rescue company 3, i miss you and love you. i wish you got to take me fishing. >> reporter: even now, 22 years later, dna testing continues. just last week, the remains of two more victims were finally identified. but 1,100 other families are still waiting for that closure.

forward to seeing you right here. you are fully loaded and completely equipped for the race that's been designed for you. finally tonight as we mark 22 years since the september 11th attacks, we wanted to revisit the story of two fighter pilots who were prepared to make
3:28 am
the ultimate sacrifice to defend the nation's capital. lieutenant general marc sasseville and first lieutenant heather penny scrambled f-16s without time to load missiles, looking for a rogue aircraft like flight 93. they knew they might need to ram the plane, a decision they never had to make. >> when i think about the mission that we didn't have to do because the passengers on flight 93 did, clearly not only does our nation owe so much to those heroes, but sass owe our lives to them as well. they shouldn't have had to have made the choice to sacrifice their lives. when i think of 9/11, instead of being overcome by the trauma and the horror and the tragedy, i'm actually overcome by hope because of the character and the bravery and the service to all of us that they demonstrated
3:29 am
that day, and the other heroes of 9/11, the first responders and, you know, neighbors that opened up their homes to strangers. that the best of who we are was demonstrated on that day, and that's part of what i hope to live through my daily choices and to honor their legacy and their gift to us. so in some ways, living my life as normally as possible is the biggest way that we can say that the terrorists did not win. >> and that's the overnight news for this tuesday. be sure to check back later for "cbs mornings." reporting from here in new york city, i'm norah o'donnell. this is "cbs news flash." i'm olivia gazis in new york. the legal team for former

president grump is asking the judge in the 2020 election interference case to recuse herself. they argue that statements from judge tanya chutkan and other january 6th cases are, quote, inherently disqualifying. it is up to chutkan if she'll remain on the case or if another judge will be assigned. flash flooding hit the northeast as storms moved through the region. rhode island's emergency management agency said at least 30 water rescues were conducted in providence. and apple is expected to unveil the iphone 15 today at the company's annual keynote event at headquarters in california. it will be livestreamed online beginning at 10:00 a.m. local time. for more, download the cbs news app on your cell phone or connected tv. i'm olivia gazis, cbs news, new york. >> announcer: this is the "cbs
3:31 am
overnight news." we begin tonight overseas with a race against time as rescue teams in morocco scour the rubble in a furious search for survivors. the area's strongest earthquake in more than a century has killed nearly 3,000 with thousands more injured. but those numbers are expected to rise in the hours and days ahead. the destruction and devastation are beyond words with at least 100,000 children impacted by the disaster, and that's according to unicef. the epicenter of the 6.8 quake is located in the country's high atlas mountains where buildings crumbled and left communities cut off from the outside world. villagers are digging by hand or shovels because getting heavy equipment into these remote areas has been nearly impossible. international aid groups including specially trained dogs have joined local rescue efforts. we have a lot of news to bring you, and cbs's chris livesay will start us off tonight from the village of moulay bra mien. good evening, chris.
3:32 am
>> reporter: good evening, norah. we're still in that crucial time known as the golden period. the best window for finding people who may still be alive, trapped beneath the rubble. but now more than 72 hours since the quake, that window is closing. day three of the rescue effort with moroccans clinging to the hope of finding survivors. but with every body removed from the rubble, hope is slipping through the blistered fingers they've been digging with. across morocco, footage captures the moment this north african country erupted into panic. and now into a race as they search for the living and grieve for the dead. in in this town, this man weeps over the death of his little brother, just 7 years old. [ speaking in a global language ] "i thank god for the beautiful memories i have of him," says
3:33 am
his father. "they're all i have left of him." the heartache and dprukz are worse here in the remote high atlas, where twisting roads, steep cliffs, and rustic dwellings, the very thihings th make these mountaiains so jaw-dropping, made the earthquake and its aftermath so deadly. many of these homes are made out of mud bricks, so they don't just collapse. they crumble, and they don't leave any air pockets for survivors, who tend to just choke to death on the dust. and if there was anyone to save, locals tell us they had to save themselves. "the walls were shaking. i thought i was going to die" says this woman. "a boulder smashed my leg. thank god my son rescued me from the rubble." towns are cut off and survivors forced to sleep on the streets. "we feel completely abandoned here," said this woman. "no one has come to help us." aid has been slow to trickle in, and the government hasn't
3:34 am
allowed many foreign crews in. so much of the relief effort has relied on locals like these driving back and forth to the grocery store in marrakech, more than 30 miles away, to bring food, water, and supplies. this 85-year-old woman wonder who's would still be alive if the government had sent help quickly. "dozens of people died here," she says. "they didn't have to." now, morocco has been delivering aid, but this is a lot of remote ground to cover. u.s. secretary of state antony blinken said the u.s. is standing by, ready to give help of its own, but morocco has yet to accept that offer. norah. >> that has frustrated some nations. chris livesay, thank you. well, now to the new track of the category 3 hurricane lee as it barrels across the atlantic. and now for the first time, the united states is in the path of a possible landfall. meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel has this very latest
3:35 am
forecast. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah. lee remains a powerful category 3 hurricane, and more of the u.s. now in the cone as of the latest update from the national hurricane center. it will be weakening as it moves north, but parts of massachusetts, including boston and even parts of rhode island in the cone. here are the main drivers of this. high pressure weakening a bit, allowing for that turn to the north. how strong and how fast that dip in the jet stream comes through will determine ultimately where it goes, whether it's strong winds, heavy rain, large waves, more inland track or more offshore. looking at dangerous rip currents and moderate waives. still remains to be seen, but, norah, one thing is for sure. this is a big storm, and there will be impacts. >> watching it so closely. chris warren, thank you. we turn now to breaking news in the dramatic rescue of an american caver from deep underground in turkey, where he suffered a medical emergency ten days ago. there's some good news.
