>> and i'm kimberly joseph. >> you already know that the hardest part of getting projects done is the lugging and the carrying and the moving of heavy materials, right? >> right. and a lot of times, what i have to move is just too heavy for me. so i need to wait around until i can find someone to help me. the worx aerocart is a revolutionary new way to easily move just about anything, all by yourself. >> come on. take a look. see, most old-fashioned wheelbarrows have just one wheel. well, that makes you do all the work. >> right. you need to be pretty strong to carry this load on just one wheel. [ strained ] ohh! it's extremely heavy and really... >> watch out! watch out! >> ...unstable. >> what a mess! the worx aerocart changes everything. its revolutionary design does up to 90% of the heavy lifting for you. >> now, watch this. amazingly, the worx aerocart makes this 200 pounds feel like just 17 pounds. this is so much lighter. >> a regular wheelbarrow has one wheel up front, and that's a really bad design that makes you
3:01 am
now, the secret is in the patented turbo lift technology. you see, the wheels are located directly under the load, instantly making you 4 times stronger. >> just think about how much easier every project will be and how much faster you'll be able to get them done. >> the worx aerocart really does lighten every load. >> the aerocart definitely makes things feel lighter because of the design. >> i love the maneuverability. i love the big tires. i love the leverage that you can get with it. >> in the wheelbarrow mode, it has wheels further back, which changes the leverage point completely. and when i first used the aerocart, i was surprised by how light the load felt. >> the aerocart itself is so light, but, yet, it will hold a whole lot of things. >> the aerocart makes me able to do the things that i still like to do, need to do, and want to do with much less problem and a lot more ease. >> i'm a big fan. i've been the cheerleader from
3:02 am
everyone and telling everyone about it. >> announcer: the worx aerocart makes every project easier by giving you 4 times more lifting power. you're gonna love how it feels from the very first time you try it. >> [ chuckling ] oh, my god. >> one hand?! are you kidding me?! >> oh, balanced beautiful! >> announcer: old-fashioned wheelbarrows make you do all the heavy lifting. ever try moving 200 pounds in a regular wheelbarrow? >> definitely uneven. whoa! [ laughs ] [ clattering ] like, it might make a mess. >> announcer: but watch as the same person lifts the same 200 pounds, now in the aerocart. >> much easier. this lightens the load a lot. >> this is good. this is easy. >> yeah, it's great. it like magic. >> it's got a stamped steel bottom and, you know, welded legs. and this bump bar and the wheel stands. yeah, i'm in the welding equipment business, so, i mean, this is definitely -- they're, like, bulletproof. to me, it just -- it looks like a quality product. >> actually, my arms are shaking 'cause i have to balance it so much.
3:03 am
[ chuckles ] it's not good. oh, yeah, this is easy. you can't even tell. you could actually do it one-handed. well, actually, i'm a chiropractor [chuckles] so i would definitely, as a chiropractor, choose this over any other wheelbarrow out there. so, hands down, a winner over a regular wheelbarrow. i mean, i wouldn't even buy one of those if i had the choice to buy one of these. >> the worx aerocart is so versatile. it instantly transforms into a variety of useful tools. >> flip open the dolly flap, pull the quick release, and now it's a heavy-duty hand truck. aerocart's all-steel construction makes it super strong, too, allowing you to move loads up to 300 pounds. >> now, have a really big item you need a hand with? how about two hands? just fold down aerocart's reinforced steel extension arms, and now you have a personal forklift. >> aerocart lets you move anything easily, and, most importantly, safely, even up and
3:04 am
down steps without any trouble. >> some of the hardest things to move are odd-shaped items, like big, round water jugs or large paint buckets. with aerocart's cylinder holder, they stay in place for easy moving anywhere. >> in all, aerocart is actually 8 different machines in 1. so, you can lift less and do more. >> and aerocart is a real space-saver. your garage could look like this, with all sorts of clutter and machines, or you can get a worx aerocart that takes up just about the same floor space as a pair of boots. watch this. see? it fits...nicely against the wall. or it can even fit in a utility closet. here's yet another great thing -- unlike a bulky wheelbarrow, you can actually take the aerocart anywhere. >> flip the quick release, and the handles slide right off, so you can load it in your trunk and always have a helping hand with you. >> the worx aerocart makes every load lighter, every project
3:05 am
easier, and every garage neater. >> i can't say enough about how versatile the aerocart is. it -- it has so many functions that -- there's very little you can't do with it. >> i love the aerocart. it's definitely versatile, especially for a woman -- i'm sure for you, too, honey -- but it is very lightweight, and it's small in size, but does really great, heavy jobs. >> we have a lot of brush in the backyard. and when you put those arms straight up, you can now lay brush on top of there. you can't do that with a normal wheelbarrow, 'cause it's gonna fall off. >> the fact that the aerocart combines all of those products into one simple, packaged solution -- that's where i feel like the -- the aerocart really shines. >> now you got everything in one, and -- and it works for everybody. >> when you lift something heavy like this from the ground, you can really injure your back. >> not anymore, thanks to aerocart's reinforced steel
3:06 am
arms. >> you simply lay down the special lifting net and then roll the item on top of it, like that. >> now the aerocart does the work for you. >> and that's great news for your back. >> when we're doing yardwork, the reason why we get sore on a more microscopic level is because we're actually literally breaking down our tissue. we're straining our ligaments. we're tearing our muscles. and sometimes, we're even breaking our backs. using a tool like the aerocart helps distribute the forces evenly in the natural positions to help reduce the chances of injury. i definitely recommend the aerocart, both professionally and personally. i believe in investing in my body and recommending that for my patients in preventing injury as much as possible. >> you know you'd love to get more projects done around the house and yard. >> but who wants to do all that heavy lifting? >> well, that's why we know you're gonna love the worx aerocart -- because it does the hard work for you. >> lift less and do more with the worx aerocart. here's your chance to order. >> i think the aerocart's a good
3:07 am
tool. it's nice. it's lightweight. it's very sturdy. >> we find it very, very easy to use in the yard. and the leverage of the aerocart works great to pick up heavy objects and move them around the yard -- it's very easy. >> announcer: introducing the worx aerocart, the smart new way to lift and carry just about anything. need to move something huge? just flip the dolly flap, and you've got a heavy-duty hand truck. don't strain moving heavy potted plants -- just extend the reinforced steel arms, hook on the plant strap, and the aerocart makes the job easy. snap on the cylinder holder, and the aerocart is a barrel, water jug, and garbage can transport. what if you can barely lift something in the first place? simply roll heavy rocks or bags of gravel on the rock-lifting mesh and let aerocart do the lifting for you. for a huge item, just flip down the extended dolly arms, and the aerocart becomes your own personal forklift. aerocart will help you in so many ways. you can add a trailer ball, and
3:08 am
now you have a trailer mover. use the bag holder to make cleaning up leaves and yard debris easier. and the list goes on. aerocart is revolutionary because it makes even heavy loads feel lighter than air. the secret is aerocart's breakthrough design that places the wheels right under the weight of the load. this gives you unprecedented leverage and instantly makes you up to 4 times stronger. old-fashioned wheelbarrows make you do all the heavy lifting. ever try moving 200 pounds in a regular wheelbarrow? >> [ laughs ] that's really hard to carry. i would never try to pick that up. >> announcer: but watch as the same person lifts the same 200 pounds, now in the aerocart. >> oh, so the aerocart's easy. i could easily pick this up with no problem. >> announcer: old-fashioned wheelbarrows have only one wheel, so they're unbalanced and easily tip over. aerocart has 2 wheels, so it's super stable. and you know how regular wheelbarrow tires always seem to be flat when you need them? that'll never happen with aerocart. our never flat tires are always ready when you are. and they're made for outdoor or

us to get a move on and made it so much easier to get the backyard started, and we are so happy with how it turned out. i love gardening, but i have a really bad back. and there's a lot of things that i can't do or i know i'll overdo. the aerocart made everything so light and easy, and the attachments were perfect. we worked really hard, and my back is just fine. it was amazing. >> we moved everything from firewood to bricks, large amounts of dirt, large rocks. it just made a heavy load a lot lighter. our yard is incredible now. it's beautiful. we're very pleased with it, and the aerocart has helped us with this. it's just made a difficult job much, much easier. >> now, if you have a jet ski or a boat or an r.v. or a work trailer, you know what a pain they are to move when they aren't hitched up. well, one of the aerocart's

3:17 am
snow with ease. >> and that means you'll use your aerocart year round. when you add in the wagon accessory, water hauler, and snow plow, that's 11 different functions, all from one machine. it's like a swiss army knife on wheels. >> it's a must-have for any homeowner or contractor. >> yeah, i've been a general my life, actually. my father, my uncles, my brothers -- everyone has been in the field. having the right tool makes the job better and makes it easier. i feel the aerocart makes your projects a lot easier and a lot simpler. we personally have used the aerocart on the job to move refrigerators. we've loaded it up to 200, 300 pounds. we've mixed cement in it, carried tile in it. it's a dynamic product. i recommend it to everyone. >> announcer: the worx aerocart makes every project easier by giving you 4 times more lifting power. you're gonna love how it feels from the very first time you try it. >> that feels like 15 pounds.

3:19 am
never flat tires. >> and when we say "never flat," we mean it. let me drill home that point... >> [ chuckles ] >> literally. look. we can drill a hole right into the tire... [ drill whirring ] >> wow. >> ...and it will never go flat. >> and unlike other no-flat tires, these wheels will stay flexible for easy maneuverability. that's because aerocart wheels feature a brand-new tire technology. micro air bubbles are actually embedded in the rubber, so they always stay inflated. >> when worx engineered the aerocart, they really thought of everything. >> 9 out of 10 times, you store that wheelbarrow -- you go to use it, and you got a flat tire. and that's horrible. >> it's just gonna be there when you need it. it's durable. you don't have to pump up a tire or anything like that. it's always gonna be right there for you. >> i like that it would roll very easily on those big tires that it has. on the narrow parts of the yard, it was easy to maneuver and get around. >> wheelbarrows can definitely be dangerous, particularly when they're a traditional, single-wheeled tool. the weight can be distributed unevenly and unpredictably,
3:20 am
leading to injuries. however, when you use an aerocart, the wheels are naturally placed symmetrically apart, so that the forces are distributed evenly across their core and there's no unpredictable, jerky motion. >> the hardest part of any project is the lifting and carrying. >> but not anymore. the worx aerocart does the lifting and carrying for you, so projects get done faster and easier than ever before. >> do yourself a favor. get your own worx aerocart today. >> this is your last chance. order right now. >> it really does do it all, and it does it very well. >> i used it as a wheelbarrow. i used it as a dolly. it was very easy to change from one mode to the other. >> it makes heavy things and bulky things easier and lighter. >> it just makes all the yardwork or anything you need to do a lot easier to -- to get done. >> i'm a big fan. i've been the cheerleader from day 1 and been showing it to everyone and telling everyone about it.

it happened in paris. but the world is watching. england, germany, myanmar, the philippines, afghanistan, pakistan, egypt, india, nepal, vigils and memorials of light stand in stark contrast to friday's darkness. in washington, d.c. today, james jones brought his two sons, riley 7, grayson 5, to the french embassy. at the eiffel tower under extra police protection, this scene at sunrise. the sun is about to rise again in france. and though monday will mean more searching it also means more support as a global audience stands with the city of light. that is the "overnight news" for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back with us a little later for the "morning news" and "cbs this
3:27 am
york city, i'm jeff glor. this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the "overnight news." i'm jeff glor. france is striking back against isis which claimed responsibility for friday's attacks in paris. ten french fighter bombers attacked isis targets in raqqa, the isis stronghold in syria. it was france's biggest air raid since the start of the conflict. france is in three days of national mourning for the victims of the terror attacks. the death toll stood at 129. more than 350 are wounded, including nearly 80 who remain in critical condition. seven terrorists are dead but the search continues for one who got away. a 26-year-old man from belgium. we begin our coverage with elizabeth palmer in paris.
3:28 am
>> reporter: in about two and a half hours on friday night, six locations were attacked pretty much simultaneously. and at least seven terrorists were involved. the police say those men are all dead. paris is in shock, of course, and the country has begun three official days of mourning. the police immediately working with forensics teams set out to identify these seven men and they said they've done it, although they've only named one of them. they were relying on dna evidence and in some cases body parts so they sound pretty sure of themselves. the named one is a french citizen citizen. he comes from the paris suburbs, he's a pretty criminal, and he has been known to security services radar since 2010 when he was apparently radicalized. the search has gone international for accomplices. turns out the car that was driven to the bataclan concert hall was rented by a belgian citizen. the police picked him up yesterday. he was trying to get back into belgium from france.
3:29 am
they've also arrested three other men from a suburb of brussels which is known to be a home to islamic radicals. and at least one of them say the man was in paris on the day of the attacks. people wonder why the intelligence services didn't pick up chatter on these attacks. they were relatively complex, they involved a lot of people, some of whom are dead, some of whom are clearly alive. the fact is the security services here have been completely overwhelmed. not only have there been french citizens who'd gone to syria to fight and have been coming back who have to be thoroughly checked out, of course in the last few months there have been hundreds of thousands of migrants flooding into europe in a pretty chaotic fashion. and the security services frankly have been very worried that some of them will be coming in as terrorists disguised simply as asylum seekers. that may turn out to have been
3:30 am
>> the bloodbath in paris has turned the focus of this g-20 summit from the economy to isis. president obama said the skies have been darkened by those horrific attacks and his very first meeting here was with the president of turkey, a country that has also recently been hit by isis. >> the killing of innocent people based on a twisted ideology is an attack not just on france, not just on turkey, but it's an attack on the civilized world. >> reporter: he said the u.s. is committed to hunting down the perpetrators but he did not say whether that meant the u.s. would ramp up the fight. up to now president obama has argued that air strikes in iraq and syria have kept isis contained. but now allies like saudi arabia and even critics like russia's vladimir putin argue an imminent threat requires a much stronger response. in the meantime, president obama is trying to broker a cease-fire
3:31 am
that war zone has not only sent millions of refugees scattered throughout the middle east and europe, but it has also created a safe haven for the growth of extremists like isis. >> at least 89 of those killed in the terror attacks in paris died inside a concert hall. scott pelley has the story of two survivors for "60 minutes." >> reporter: on this sunday night the great bells of notre dame pay tribute to the dead and to the wounded. you're about to meet two witnesses to the assault on paris. one of them was shot as he played dead inside the concert hall where most of the victims were killed. the other watched innocent people shot down by one of the terrorists. together they paint a picture of the day that darkness fell on the city of light. >> what was the very first thing you saw? >> a gunman. dressed in black. black boots.
3:32 am
black trousers. tight. a black sweater of sorts, no collar. and standing in a very clear gun position, shooting position. he was holding a weapon. and had it shouldered. and was shooting quite deliberately and precisely. >> reporter: marc cocluff, a danish psychologist, was walking with a friend toward a cafe. >> where was he shooting? >> the french have a habit of having chairs outside the cafes so you can sit with your back to the window and watch the world go by. people were doing that. he shot three of them. just like that. the three that were sitting outside he shot very quickly. >> so as he opens fire on the crowd outside the cafe -- >> three people. there wasn't a crowd. he had positioned his legs so he would stand in the tripod kind of way.
3:33 am

around the city of sinjar ahead of its ground offensive paving the way for peshmerga forces. there were a few tense moments as ground troops moved in. first it was just a dozen or so men carefully snaking down the mountain on foot. the rest of the hundreds of fighters watched anxiously to see what would happen next. young and old, volunteers and regular soldiers ready to take back sinjar one step at a time. as more men made their way down toward the unknown, we joined them. gunfire rang out from nearby neighborhoods. a convoy of vehicles was reduced to twisted metal. kurdish soldiers hauled at least one isis fighter away. most of what we saw of the town was deserted. the trail of destruction from weeks of u.s.-led air strikes is all around us. buildings flattened to rubble.
