8:47 am
worst outbreaks of legionella in u.s. history. it's expected the water supply was to blame but as people started to die the cdc was never called in to find the source. according to cdc protocol a state must invite the cdc to investigate an outbreak and michigan didn't do that. >> the state stopped our investigation by prohibiting us to communicate. they prohibited communication between the center for disease control and genesee county health department. they prevented that team to come here and help us find the source. >> experts in the cdc say it's probably too late to scientifically identify the source of the legionnaire's outbreak but those in flint are concerned another outbreak could happen this summer if nothing is done. terrifying moment captured on camera in new zealand as the eastern part of the country is rocked by an earthquake. a 5.8-magnitude quake hit christchurch today and you can actually see the shaking on the driveway there.
