suspect actually got into a second shootout. police say the suspect is dead custody. this is at least the third officer-involved shooting in denver since december. here's chief robert white on whether or not this latest incident represents an uptick. >> statistics nationwide are showing those numbers are pretty much the same 2015 to 2014, but obviously we're getting a lot more attention when temperatures are injured. we're also getting a lot more attention when officers are involved in the incidents, also. >> reporter: there are still lingering questions. it's unclear if anybody was home at the time of the burglary. it's unclear if she was by herself at 30th and lowell when she got into this shootout. we'll give you guys more information a soon as question get it. for now that's the latest here at denver health. >> i think we can surmise this officer did have some experience. this was not a rookie officer on the job.

it's unclear if she had had prior positions with other police departments, but we know she'd at least been with denver police for a couple years. >> whitney wild reporting from denver health. >> as whitney mentioned, there are a series of events that took place before this this afternoon. we've been following all the angles. 9news reporter victoria sanchez is at lowell and 35th avenue where the pursuit ended. victoria? >> reporter: a lot of people we spoke to over the phone say they are stuck in their houses not allowed outside now because this crime scene does take up a few blocks behind me here at 35th and lowell. the police officer, female, whitney said she was shot in health. we saw that ambulance racing down to see she got healthcare as soon as she could. the suspect drove here to 35th and lowell where neighbors said they heard the sound of a racing car and a loud crash where denver police officer says exchanged gunfire and killed the suspect. >> that's what spurred me to walk over and see if everybody

i only walked a few feet in the alley and there were several quickly. got scared. coming close to my house. >> reporter: denver police have a second suspect in custody who could have been involved in the burglary. the officer is in fair condition, is expected to survive. this area might be closed down for at least a few more hours. scene. further down on lowell we saw another area that was blocked off. it was a police squad car that had major damage to the rear fender and also a flat tire, not exactly sure where that came into play when it comes to this, but we are seeing multiple crime scenes in multiple areas shut down. people will have trouble getting home tonight. >> it was scary this afternoon. if you were driving downtown, you saw the police response. you knew something big was going on. those neighbors are living with it.

we are expecting rain to turn to snow tonight for the metro area. some drivers may have some wet roads on the way home. >> may start during the rush. here is a live look at horsetooth. meteorologist belen deleon is in the weather center. what should we plan for tonight and especially tomorrow morning? >> wet road certainly, but because it has been so warm that snow that falls in the metro area mainly expected to stick to grassy surfaces. let's take another look at radar and satellite. you'll notice that storm system is already cutting across colorado. that was a beautiful shot at horsetooth reservoir. that snow has started to fall lightly in the high country since early this morning and now we're starting to see it increase, especially for the front range mountains and in that's really where we're going to see the majority of this snow from this storm, but it's right now. over the city just some dark clouds as we're starting to see the traffic accumulate on i-25. rocky mountain national park,

now traveling in the mountains from this afternoon through tomorrow could be tough at times especially along i-70 we're looking at accumulations in the central mountains 8 to 12 inches. our southern foothills, evergreen, this includes you, conifer from 6 to 10 inches expected there, 4 to 8 inches in areas like aspen, vail and snowmass and down to the san juans where we have that winter weather advisory in effect from 5 to 10 inches. a closer look at doppler 9, snow falling in parts of el paso county into northern colorado. it's all falling in the form of rain in fort collins and places like greeley snow mainly in higher elevations from 6,000 feet upwards. here in the metro area we'll have cloudy skies for your drive home. the chance for rain increases closer to 6 p.m. after sunset. here's a look at futurecast and how snow will develop overnight. the good news is by tomorrow

9news tomorrow at 4:30 and note snow will be south of us. we'll see clearing by midmorning, so a quick moving storm could bring us 1 to 3 inches in the metro area, less than that in northern colorado and the eastern plains, the higher amounts coming in the foothills and mountains. temperatures right now in the 40s. it was a typical february day, the high 50 degrees, but tomorrow will be colder. so i'll walk you through the rest of your workweek forecast coming up. it is a big one, a big change, we care. we'll have a lot to talk to you about, thank you. it's been 11 months since michelle wilkins was attacked and her baby taken from her. wilkins survived, her baby girl did not. today closing arguments in the case.

>> reporter: court is back in reposes and we're hoping to hear about a verdict soon. now lane is facing six felony counts including first degree murder and unlawful termination of a pregnancy. it's been a troubling couple of weeks as evidence has come to light in this case. during closing arguments the prosecution tried to hammer home dynel lane's intent to kill michelle wilkins and cut a baby out of her womb. intent is needed and without it the jury could convict lane of manslaughter instead. attorneys explained to the jury that lane had been trying for months to prove to her family that she was pregnant and became desperate to do. so they recalled photos of lane hosting a baby shower despite not actually being pregnant and reminding the jury lane had printed out an ultrasound she found online and passed it off on her own. they walked the jury through the attack recalling the precision with which she cut

lane's attorney said lane did not plan or prepare this attack. >> if her intent was that i'm going to kill this woman to cut her baby out, why wouldn't she have one weapon on her? any way? why would she do this in her daughter's bedroom using accessible things? why? because it was a hasty, impulsive and wreckless act. there never was any intention. >> reporter: so michelle wilkins was also in court today for closing arguments. we're now just waiting for that verdict. apparently this jury has had a few questions about what was presented throughout the past couple of days in this trial. >> it's worth noting as you did already that charges are only related to the attack on michelle wilkins, no charges related to the death of the baby. >> reporter: that's right.

considered a person under colorado law, so it's only against michelle. >> thank you so much, ryan haarer reporting from boulder county. we are waiting to learn more about a man found dead inside a home in unincorporated arapahoe county today. the home is off east hampden avenue near himalaya street. the standoff started last night and lasted 11 hours. authorities say before the man died he fired a single shot at a sheriff's deputy. the deputy was not injured. police originally attempted to contact the man in response to a welfare call. authorities are still investigating this case. one in four children remains in the hospital following a vicious attack at a dog breeder's home. the kids were mauled by a pack of great dannys in el paso county -- great danes in el paso county saturday. a woman brought her boss' kids to a small town in rush and heard screams coming from the barn where she found three

the advice seems obvious, but a dog training expert said you need to be extra cautious when your pets are around kids. a big factor in triggering aggression is how children approach dogs. >> what i wouldn't do is come at her straight away and hover over her, right? what you'd want to do is come at her either at an angle here or you can actually align so that your body is parallel with the dog. >> the owner of the breeding company rare danes was cited for unlawfully owning a dangerous dog. the humane set to said the danes will most likely be euthanized. the surgical tech accused of stealing fentanyl from swedish medical center prompting a hepatitis and hiv scare here in colorado has prompted alerts in two other states. today a hospital in california became the third to send out an alert to patients. rocky allen worked as a surgical tech in seattle, san diego, glendale, arizona and phoenix after getting out of

he was fired from swedish and after that nearly 3,000 patients in colorado were alerted that they needed to be tested for hiv, hepatitis b and c. a hospital in phoenix announced that 97 patients may have been exposed there. today scripps hospital in san diego announced that allen's recent incident in denver has prompted them to take similar actions. >> mr. allen had worked here back in 2013 and we believe that the risk to any of our patients is extremely low. in light of the events that have occurred in den, we take patient safety very seriously at scripps and we have consulted with our infectious disease experts and with the county of san diego and public health department and the recommendation has been to do the usual testing for a drug diversion case, which is to test patients for the viruses hepatitis b, hepatitis c and hiv.

patients who had surgical procedures at this san diego hospital during the months that allen was employed there. a four month long 9wants to know investigation has found that some colorado schools are not fully prepared if a shooter wanted to harm their students or your kids. we learned some schools do not teach students how to react, where to hide or what to do. they've not conducted any drills and only started doing some of them this year. our crime and justice reporter anastasiya bolton sent all 178 school districts in colorado open record requests asking what they are doing when it comes to preparing for an open shooter. i have to say with all that's gone on many parents are probably more than just a little surprised by this. >> honestly we've gotten so much feedback, probably more on this particular story than on any other story on 9news i have

so when you talk about the fact we asked all 178 districts questions in a letter, we called them and e-mailed them to follow up and clarify their appearances. we wanted to make sure every school had an opportunity to respond. some school districts refused to tell us anything, even declining yes or no answers. why? because these public institutions paid for by your dollars told us they didn't have to answer our questions. with the help of those who did cooperate we now have a better picture of how prepared colorado schools are for an active shooter. we visited schools across the state and we found they're training differently in terms of how long they practice, how often and what the drills look like. jefferson county, for instance, does two lockdown drills for all student every year. the county also does many other drills during the year and has dedicated security personnel. some smaller school districts treat the threat very differently. some admit they have never done a drill of this kind.

people like david benke, a teacher who saved students in a colorado shooting, say this training is critical. >> love toker that about your backup -- love to hear about your backup plan, what if it really does happen and you're not trained for it? because you don't train for your best day. you train for your worst day, all right? and then the second thing is aren't we supposed to be preparing the kids for life? don't these things happen other places other than schools now? >> the findings of the colorado department of education where they oversee everything from food to testing, but other than asking the district to check a box on a questionnaire, no one is actually checking if the schools are doing even the small things they're required to by law. tonight on 9news at 9:00 and 10:00 we find out why some schools aren't training and see

we also worked with experts to make sure that we tell and show you and not compromise things to the techniques that would put students and teachers in danger. so we are only showing what we are supposed to, not to give any tips to any folks. >> right. that's a good path. i know watching your story as i have, a lot of little kids watching this happen with very young people in the room. i mean just watching their faces you can tell they're very concerned about it, but they're also soaking it up i think and helping to devise a plan of action. >> reporter: action.. >> we went to two trainings, an elementary school and high school in jefferson county. for a high school they have been in this, they have been in the district for a while. this is second nature. they hear lock, lights, out of sight and drop their things and hide. there's not even a conversation

day investigation. the little ones, i got to tell you, they are precious. they're cute, right? they go hide and the teacher talks to them and kind of walks through what if a bad guy walks in? what do we have to do? we have to be super, super quiet and super, super still. that's difficult for someone who is little for 40 minutes. >> no question. >> but they still do it. the importantening is we're hearing from experiments -- important thing is we're hearing from experts is we have to practice. >> we look forward to your stories at 9:00 and 10:00. a man accused of shooting and killing six people and injuring two others is charged with six counts of murder. police in kalamazoo say 45-year- old jason dalton was working as an uber driver saturday night when he went on a shooting spree and randomly shot victims in three locations in between fares. he is also charged with two counts of assault with intent to commit murder and eight firearms charges. the prosecutor said dalton has

uber said he passed a background check. authorities say uber is cooperating with investigators. a motive is not clear. the mayor of flint, michigan, says the town is ready to start replacing the lead pipes but the governor said old needs more time. the tap water was contaminated -- he needs more time. the tap water was contaminated. it was meant to be a cost cutting move as the state was >> reporter: governor rick snyder said his plan to move forward includes more water studies. the mayor of flint says she has plans for a new pipeline thanks to help from the university of michigan done. >> let's get the study done. i don't think billions of dollars is the number. i don't want to speculate on that until i know how many lead service limes.

>> we can now move ahead with the lead service lines in an orderly fashion. >> experts say the map of the water system is incomplete due to a lack of records. more than 4,000 lead service lines has been estimated and a true number is at least double that. the state says it has a separate mapping project underway and will utilize the university's information. some of the victims and their families involved in the san bernardino shooting say they support the government's position that apple be required to help the fbi hack into a locked iphone in that terrorism investigation that is underway. a los angeles attorney is saying he plans to file a brief on behalf of several families. he said the victims want to know what's on the county issued iphone used by the gunman and why they were targeted. today the director of the fbi defended the justice department's decision to ask apple to unlock the phone on the law fair block.com site. apple ceo tim cook thanked

apple has until friday to file opposition to the initial court order. there is a caucus flip over the weekend. democrats were in nevada and republicans were in south carolina and this week it's the opposite. the republicans caucus tomorrow in nevada after jeb bush announced he suspended his campaign over the weekend. the focus has now turned to donald trump, ted cruz and marco rubio. rubio hasn't won a state yet and cruz's core group of evangelicals voted for trump this past weekend in south carolina. on the democratic side analysts think this will be a moment for hillary clinton. clinton has a lot of backing from the african american electorate and that could give her some momentum some super tuesday, march 1st, when colorado will have its caucuses. right now cdot is preparing to once again guide vehicles on i-70 through glenwood canyon. a pilot car is guiding the cars one direction at a time in both directions through one lane of that stretch of interstate from

today until 9 a.m. tomorrow. that is because cdot workers say they are still working to make the highway safe that rockslide last week. rocks and boulders the size of small cars damaged both the eastbound and westbound lanes of i-70 and it could be several weeks before it's all completely repaired. >> once we're able to determine that it is safe for travel, then we'll get out of that 1 lane configuration and anticipate that we'll have one lane each direction of traffic because there is damage to the roadway that need to be repaired. that's why it's probably going to be at least a couple weeks at the very men before we can open it up to two lane -- minimum before we can open it up to two lanes each direct. >> cdot says there are several more areas for potential rock slides that we'll show you tonight on 9news at 5:00.

starbucks customers got an e- mail about changes to the

here's a little piece of good news.

wall street today thanks to a surge in crude oil. it was all driven by the price of u.s. crude which jumped $1.84 to close at 31.48 a barrel. a big hit to overseas markets today. the british pound fell against other major currencies following concerns brittain may vote to leave the european union. the past few years the uk and eu have struggled with ways to handle things like economic reform. prime minister david cameron thinks they should stay together for the better of trade and job security, but london's mayor wants out and there's a vote in june. the irs is warning people to be careful of tax-related e- mail scams. the irs says that tax-related phishing and malware scams have surged 400% this tax season. fraudsters have been sending e- mails that look like they're coming from the federal agency itself. many times these scammers are looking to get information that

return showing a large refund. the money end up getting sent to the scammer -- ends up getting sent to the scammer before the taxpayer files their return. the irs reminds consumers they normally reach out to taxpayers through u.s. mail, not e-mail. tax line 9 is open today for all of your general tax questions. members of the colorado society of certified public accountants have free advice until 5:30 tonight. this is their busy time of the year, so we thank them for their service. 303-698-0999. some starbucks rewards members are kind of steamed today. it's all about choice of drink. the coffee chain is making it more challenging for members to earn points. starting in april starbucks will award stars based on the number of dollars spent. for those folks who just get a regular coffee or tea will have to spend a whole lot more to earn that freebie now. customers earn one star per

12 stars get you a free item. now each $1 will be worth $2 in order to get a freebie, you have to earn 125 stars. that comes out to $62.53 per item. people who now spend $5 or less per visit are really going to lose out which is most of us. >> yeah. that's a big change. i love my freebies. >> the black coffee, okay. we got it all out, feel better now. there are now two places in the u.s. testing for the zika virus. >> that's right. >> and certained. >>s could actually make you smarter -- and certain foods

a lab in texas is the first in the u.s. to be able to test parishes for the zika virus on site. dallas county is now the first county in the country that can run its own test for the zika

within 24 hours. last week 9news medical expert dr. john torres explained how everyone else has to send their samples to the cdc and wait two to three weeks. that time is putting people's health at risk and others as well. zika isn't the only thing health officials can test for. >> now we are targeting the detection of dengue, chickagunya and zika. >> the lab can test 15 samples per day and this lab was also the first to test for ebola at the height of that outbreak last year. your daily cup or cups of coffee could help reduce liver damage caused by too much food and alcohol. the study included about 2,000 patients with liver cirrhosis. cirrhosis kills more than 1 million people each year. drinking two additional cums of coffee a day -- cups of coffee a day was linked to 44% lower

that risk dropped more among those who drink 3 or 4 cups of coffee, but experts aren't sure which compounds are the ones that protect the liver. so some good news for coffee drinkers there. there are actually foods that can help make you smarter. some foods have nutrients geared toward memory and other essential brain functions. here is 9news anchor gregg moss with the bottom line on your personal health and three superfoods and why they can help you stay sharp. >> reporter: specialists say brain function. >> when you give the brain the proper nutrients, the amino acids, fatty acids, the right carbohydrates, your brain connects itself and it works in a much more efficient way than if you give it foods that actually cause you to crave, cause you to be anxious. >> reporter: here are some of

eating. potassium is key for brain health. coconut water and bananas are very high in potassium, coconut water better than bananas because it's not converted into glucose quickly. blueberries super rich in inflammation fighting antioxidants, fish, sardines and salmons are rich with omega 3's and help with efficient transmission of brain signals and while salmon is most commonly touted for omega 3's, sardines are even better because they have less mercury and other toxins, wall mutts also rich -- walnuts also rich in omega 3's and finally sweet potatoes can help you maintain concentration throughout the day. >> eating colorful foods you're getting vitamin c. eating healthy meats you're getting b vitamins. eating fissure getting omega 3 fatty acids.

you're getting omega 3 fatty acids. all these things are critical. >> reporter: mood and temper gets better and good food is good medicine. i'm gregg moss. >> we're big salmon people here. for more on the different foods that make you smarter and those to avoid, go to our website at more fish. apparently less m&ms and twinkies. >> green chili chips and salsa are not on the list. >> i always said you'll live a million years because you eat all the hot stuff. >> i like to say life is short. enjoy the donut. parts of colorado are under

the warm weather has been really nice, but, of course, it's still winter and winter is making an appearance in colorado again this week. >> it's been a long time since we've seen any rain or snow or anything else. belen deleon is in the backyard and i guess we're planning for tonight and the morning commute tomorrow morning. >> 19 days since we've seen rain or snow, but who is counting? >> we are. >> yeah, we are. it's kind of my job. i took to twitter to ask our viewers how they felt about this winter weather returning to colorado. the polls have closed. out of 488 votes 52% let it snow and 48% snow thanks. they don't want the snow. well, whether you want it or not it's coming and we colorado. we've seen the changes in our forecast for today kind of just ushering in the change for this weather. right now we have cloudy skies

temperatures, 44 at dia, winds come in out of the north. so we also have cooler air that's making its way into colorado that's going to bring us colder temperatures. here in the backyard our temperatures are coming in at 43 degrees. check the weather across the state. current temperatures in northern colorado 39, 50s towards the eastern plains and the high country, 30s and 20s and the western slope 44 degrees. now that snow currently is sitting in areas in the foothills and also in the high country. the storm system right now is cutting across colorado, not very organized, but around 6:00 there's a chance that we could already start to see some showers around the metro area and that rain transitioning into snow into the overnight hours and by tomorrow morning. a storm really is not all that impressive for the front range, but in the high country is where we could see some really good snowfall amounts. that snow started to fall early in the morning up in steamboat,

just beautiful off of our facebook page. larry, thanks. here is a wider view of what's happening across colorado. the storm is ripping around this snowfall in the western slope, the snow falling in areas of the san juans already along the front range mountains. down south we're seeing moisture south of castle rock near monument hill and palmer divide. the rain/snow line is really close at fort collins. we saw the horsetooth reservoir picture with the snow falling already and the snow is expected to increase overnight into tomorrow. we have all these travel advisories in effect until tomorrow afternoon. accumulations in our central mountains from 8 to 12 inches. in our southern foothills 6 to 10 inches. anywhere blue or red it will be pretty difficult to drive the rest of today into tomorrow morning. here's a view of that snow and that rain kind of moving around the metro area, a chance to see it later this afternoon around

of us and also in southern colorado, but by top morning you're clicking onto 9news watch -- tomorrow morning watching the forecast and most of that snow will be south of us. it will clear out quickly and we'll have drier roads for the afternoon commute. the temperatures will be chilly and winds a bit blustery. here's a look at the wind gust forecast. this evening winds coming in from the north and northeast gusting 15 to 20 miles per morning. so any light snow we see falling could be blowing especially to the south. around 9:30 grab the jacket. colder temperatures and the wind chill will be a little cold, same for the eastern tuesday. the snow forecast in the city, i'm doing 1 to 3 inches. it's just been so warm here i think the ground is very warm. initially a lot of that will melt. 1 to 3 inches in the metro, a

area, monument hill to palmer divide 3 to 6 inches and in the foothills 5 to 10 inches of our overnight low drops to 22 degrees, closer to our normal low this time of year. overnight lows in northern colorado in the 20s and in the high country we'll see teens. how much snow will we see? 1 to 3 inches in the city. the higher amounts will fall closer to the foothills and for the front range mountains. the high tomorrow 40 degrees. we'll have a bit of morning snow and it starts to clear up by noon. the highs tomorrow will be really close to where we should be this time of year. 40 will be the high, 30s in northern colorado and 20s and 30s for the high country. now the storm system as it moves south and also to the southeast it going to gain more strength. so tomorrow we'll hear what headlines coming in from the gulf coast being that this storm could cause some very dangerous weather in the form of severe weather with damaging winds and even tornadoes for the gulf coast states. that's something we will stay on top of.

will evolve moving out of colorado. for us the weather clears up. by wednesday 48, thursday 51, friday 49 and then saturday 67. looking at a small chance of showers sunday, 52 and then after that we're above normal again. can you believe this is the last full week of february? time is slipping on down. it's about 20 days for us for daylight savings time to begin, 27 days for the start of spring and 98 days for memorial day which is the unofficial start of summer. there you have it. >> those are days that are worth counting, yes. >> i love it when you say that summer word. >> yeah. >> now the daylight saving time, we love it, but we're really tired and cranky for about five days. >> that's true, a bit more daylight but less sleep. >> exactly. as you know, i'm nearing 100 i've done a lot in my years. >> stop. >> but at 106 you might think there isn't much that a person has not done.

and virginia wanted to go to the white house. so she not on not went there. she decided i need to dance

don't know if you've seen this today, but it's trending. anyone who has been online is in love with 106-year-old virginia virginia mclaren. she got to visit the first family at the white house and has everybody who has been online talking about it. >> yeah. virginia visited the president and first lady at the white house over the weekend. her dance with them went viral and the president actually said, you know, virginia, you might want to slow down. you're going to be 107 next month and she said no way. don't you be telling me what to do. before long she was dancing and spaying and held hands with the first couple and she said this moment really was a dream come true. >> i thought i would never live on get in the white house. >> you are here. >> and i tell you i am so happy.

that's me. >> yeah. >> and i'm here to celebrate black history. >> oh, my gosh, virginia met the obamas during the black history month celebration. first lady michelle obama said meeting virginia made her day. today television stations from across the country went to interview virginia and our sister station in washington her. >> i just felt good all over. i got to meet the president and the black president. >> virginia still volunteers 40 hours a week working with pre-k and kindergarten children. i'm not kidding. her advice to all of us is live for the lord, love others and treat others the way you want to be treated. she's a rock star. >> you think she eats super >> 106! i hope i can just walk to the refrigerator when i'm 106. >> that's great.

how old she is. that's awesome. well, i don't know how much dancing you got going on. >> reporter: does she dance with mckinley or hoover? no. good for her. >> i wonder if she was ever in an expensive marriage. >> that's what we're talking about. let me it be you something. marriage is not -- me tell you something. investment. it costs $381,000 to have a >> what? >> that's what it says. $2,000 a year for date night. >> what a bad investment. >> surprises, gifts. it's almost $8,000 a year and if you're married 45 years, it's about $381,000. >> i'd buy action figures. >> there you go. talk about taking a bath in an investment. >> that's why you don't get the

that? >> thank you. an excel spreadsheet of where we're headed. this. >> it's just not worth it. was it, guys? >> all the happiness and joy you get in return? >> there is that. >> mark koebrich is so happy he can't stand it. >> that's true. >> it's just they should never figure this stuff out. once they know, you know how you get that figure to raise a kid to be 18, don't. don't give us that number. >> you battle the money and live in some mega house and a sports car and you'd be so lonely. you'd be sitting there. >> what do you mean lonely? i'm not lonely. i am not. i just sit there and light money on fire because i can and you can't. >> oh, my goodness, you are just bad. >> i know. >> this has been enlightening. >> let's talk about steve's

>> it's costly. >> i bet it is. >> don't tell me you just take them to happy hour. order. >> all right. talk to you later. they have too much fun. hey, you will never look at your lunch the same way again. i'm not kidding. >> no. steve spangler is back with

steve spangler is in here somewhere, somewhere. >> these are giant balloons. >> what are we doing? >> remember that weather and science day we had 10,000 of these. >> yes. >> i got to show you a secret. viewers at home will say i wish you wouldn't have taught me that because now there's never a time i can finish a sandwich without doing this trick. the question is how many breaths does it take to blow up a balloon? got it?

would be a bad science experiment because you'd do one big breath and the next would be smaller because you're worried about it popping. i have this plastic material that doesn't stretch, so this is perfect and this is like a diaper genie refill. >> yes. >> here's what i want you to do. put your hand on the bag just like this and then your mouth on the bag. it's brand-new. you're just going to breathe into the bag. how many breaths would it take >> 1,000. >> keep going. it's a long segment. pace yourself, all right? give me one big breath and i'll call that one three. let's say that was three. if i did a little estimation there is your three breaths of air. so for this whole bag about 5 feet long, this is three, six, nine, 12, i think it would take you about 15 breaths of air.

>> if i said i could do it in fewer breaths, you'd say probably, but if i said i could do it in one single breath, the whole bag, impossible? >> yes. >> let's see our diaper genie refill. how about if i give you that much there and say i can do it in a single breath. impossible? >> yes. >> here is the secret. so it's one continuous tube. here's what we're going to do. i'll ask jerry to hang onto this end for me. now watch what happens. i am going to put my fingers in the bag like this. if i show the camera, see i'm putting my fingers in the bag like this. i'll hold it like this and blow from far away. if i blow from far away the air from around here will actually go into the bag. watch this. >> look at that. you did it. >> a single breath of air. didn't that crazy? it's all about flight as well.
