what it looks like. i want to put this right over the lens. this is what the kids are seeing when they're out trick or treating. absolutely black. you can't see them, and the driver, they can't see you either. >> bad idea. >> reporter: so we set up an experiment. i'm behind the wheel with our safety expert. my producer is dressing this child mannequin in the black body suit. >> we're in a typical suburban neighborhood and i'm placing this mannequin right in the middle of the street. can you see it right now with the camera light off, but turn the light off and the kid blends right into the night, and we'll see if jeff can spot this before it's too late. we know the mannequins are here but don't know where they are. >> kids who are younger than 10 don't understand speed and distance so they don't understand when cars are coming at them how fast or how close they are. >> we keep driving and out of nowhere. >> right there, jeff. >> i still don't see it. >> i know. it's really hard, almost impossible. >> oh, it's right here.

watch again from a different angle. you can't see the mannequin until right there, and by then you can't stop. i flew right by this. a second later i would have hit this child. >> this would not be a static child, a mannequin. this would be a kid running in the dark like this. you probably could have hit this child. what was it like to be in the car witnessing this? >> completely scary. >> reporter: by the way, that body suit comes in brighter colors too. look, it's halloween. we want kids to dress up however they want to dress up. here's a solution no matter what they wear. safety experts say you should wear these. put your kids in the glow in the dark bracelets and the glow in the dark necklaces. that way no matter what they are wearing, drivers will be able to see them as they come down the road and keep your kinds safe. bring the lights back you. >> jeff, thank you v vy much. seems like the dumbest idea

live performance. sioux city officials are investigating what started a fire in a building on silver street saturday night. when crews arrived, they could see smoke coming from the two story single family home. they quickly put the fire out. no one was home at the time. the fire department says someone intentionally set the fire and anyone with information is asked to contact sioux city police at the number on your screen. sioux city fire rescue also responded to a structure fire early yesterday morning at a large industrial facility owned by cargill. firefighters reported smoke coming from the second story of the building at 11-hundred clark street. officials say faulty electrical sparked the fire.

there were no injuries. here's ben with weather. we'll continue our warm and trend today as temperatures reach the lower 80s thanks to a strong southwesterly wind at 15-25 miles per hour. a cold front passing by will create a bit more cloud cover and possibly a shower or two tonight/tomorrow after a healthy amount of sunshine today. cooler air will move in behind the on wednesday allowing temperatures to only max out in the 60s and remain there the rest of the week and weekend. better rain chances look to arrive thursday night and friday when a larger-scale system makes its way up from the southwest which should leave us dry for the weekend. see graphics. >> . >> if you think storm damage is the only cost of climate change, think again. from the rising price of food to higher insurance rates for homes and businesses, the economic damage will only get worse. but with american-made clean energy, we can save money on electricity and spur innovation to create new businesses and jobs.

world trade center came down. >> blame him or don't blame him. he was president. >> and he's blaming him. >> yeah. >> so obviously jeb bush is not going to let that pass and responded on cnn. >> my brother responded to a crisis, and he did it as you would hope a president would do. he united the country. mr. trump talks about things as though he's still on "the apprentice." looks as though he's an actor playing the role of a candidate for president. >> and the problem i think for jeb bush is he's spending most of his time responding to donald trump. >> right. and trump can say anything he wants and he has to take the time. >> and trump doubled down on that remark that he made by saying 9/11 wouldn't have happened on his watch because he wouldn't have allowed, you know, the immigrants into the country so it is getting hot. >> yeah. >> you wonder where it's going to end. >> right. >> but in the meantime, hopefully it doesn't end before
