10:42 am
haven't gotten a new casualty count recently given the fact that this is still a search and rescue mission we did speak to one woman earlier who was slightly wounded during the explosion she lived in the vicinity of the blast her family was ok but so many of her friends she did not know the whereabouts sweet about the kids my kids their friends live in those apartments those houses we don't know about them we don't know about some of the father or friends if so what happened during school hours i mean it's still bad but if the kids were in school it was real close by some of the first responders digging through the rubble this morning still hoping to find survivors in a neighborhood which has been described as a war zone i can tell you i was there i walked through the blast area i searched some houses massive just like iraq just like the murray building in oklahoma city
