but one might emerge, but there are three significant political developments i will be watching for in all seriousness. hillary clinton has seen her approval ratings melt in the campaign heat, but tonight is a chance to reintroduce herself to millions of voters. all she has to do is be calm and passional, and forceful and above the fray, conveying lofty investigation while seeming down to earth. she'll also have to respond to the strategy of sanders who's giving her fits in iowa and new hampshire. will he go hot with direct engagement of clinton or stay school, proving he can be presidential. an ounce of humor from either would be worth of pound of rhetoric. and then the three other guys, who on earth are they? >> two former governors and a former senator, none of whom have left a footprint in the sand yet.

from the burning building. >> reporter: part of this deadly collapse was caught on video, and the view from the air showed aftermath. two kansas city firefighters killed in the collapse. >> it's difficult when you live with somebody for 24 hours a way day, and laughing and joking one minute, and something like this happens in the line of duty. >> reporter: two others were injured in the collapse. firefighters rushed to the scene about 7:30 last night, found the thick smoke, flame, the chief says firefighters did not die in vain. >> they saved two civilians, carried them out before the wall collapsed. >> and firefighters in boston sent their condolences tweeting thinking about the kansas city fire department as they grieve. one of the injures firefighters

police. >> this is a great app. >> reporter: a security analyst says it's great to see new technology being used to keep people safe or pinpoint a location, but it shouldn't be the only plan. >> don't rely on it solely, and call 911 when you should. you can accomplish the same thing with a telephone conversation, but a combo of both is a good way to go. >> reporter: these two would rather stick together at night, but agree this is better than going it alone. so whether it's an app, phone call or walking with a friend, it's all about planning ahead and paying attention to your own personal safety. >> that's a good story. thank you. how about this for a question, are we creating a generation of wimps?
