hillary clinton defending her role over the benghazi attacks. >> i've lost more sleep than all of you put together. >> clinton getting emotional, the panel bickering back and forth. we're live in washington with the details. extreme weather. severe flooding in the south picking up a mobile home, moving it downstream. where it's all heading today plus the massive hurricane on the move being called potentially catastrophic. close call. a couple in a coffee shop running for safety when they see a bus coming right at them. and caught on camera. the lam, a wild goose chase with a bunch of emus. hey, good friday morning. hillary clinton's long awaited appearance before the house benghazi committee giving us some new insights into her decision-making as secretary of state. >> it was a long day of often

testy confrontations, but the fiery exchanges didn't come from clinton. they mostly came from the panel aimed at each other. >> clinton spent more than eight hours before the committee. the word "e-mail" mentioned nearly 300 times. and the committee has interviewed 54 witnesses with more to come. so far the committee's investigation has cost taxpayers just under $5 million. abc's karen travers live in washington with more. karen, what a day. good morning to you. >> reporteter: what day. good morning, reena and phillip. this appearance was a long time coming. hillary clinton is certainly thehe most high-profile person t to be questioned by this select committee. she faced a grilling, but there was also very signifificant scrutiny on the questions and tone from the republicans who were warned by veterans in their party to not overreach and to not look too political. it was a marathon day. hillary clinton on the hot seat for over eight hours. the entire hearing lasting 11 hours. right out of the gate,

republican committee chairman trey gowdy telling clinton, the investigation's not about her. >> this investigation is about four people who were killed representing our country on foreign soil. it is about what happened before, during and aftfter the attacks that killed them. >> reporter: but democrats had a different take. >> this abusive effort to derail secretary clinton's presidential campaign. >> reporter: republicans released a never before seen e-mail that clinton wrote the night of the attack addressed to diane reynolds, the name she used for e-mails to her daughter chelsea. "two of our officers were killed in benghazi by an al qaeda-likike group," she wrote, but that's a different position than the one the obama administration took immediately after the attack saying it was a protest over an anti-islamic video that grew violent. gop lawmakers also focused on requests for increased secury and the state department

>> you had two ambassadors that made several, several requests and here's basically what happened to their requests. they were torn up. >>ell, that's just not true, congressman. >> reporter: throughout the long hearing, clinton was cool, deliberate, not taking any political bait from republicans. >> i would imagine i've thought more about what happened than all of you put together. i've lost more sleep than all of you put together. i have been racking my brain about what more could have been done. >> reporter: so, after 11 hours, did we really learn anything new? ev committee chairman trey gowdy struggled to come up with something when asked by reporters after the hearing. he said that he didn't think clinton's testimony was any different from her previous appearances but, phillip and reena, he said he'd have to go back and look at the transcripts and it is very long. >> it certainly was, karen. but politically here, karen, what's the impact? does it in any way hurt her run for president?

>> reporter: no, this is about as good d of a days team clinton could have hoped for. there were no major outbursts. there were no political missteps, nothing that could be used later against her in a political ad. she really let the democrats on that committee go after it for her, let them get in the mud with the republicans while she sat back and at times smiled and laughed. phillip and reena, i think when we look back on this period inin a uple of months, this two weeks starting with the debate, joe biden getting out of the race and then yesterday's appearance, this could be the peperiod whe we say hillary clinton really locked down the nomination. >> yep, some good news for the clinton camp. karen travers live in washington, thank you. and breaking news from nashville, one person killed in a shooting at tennessee state university. two others were wounded. the shooting apparently stemmed from a dispute over a dice game in a courtyard. the incident comes just over a

saving drug from $13.50 to $750? well, now competitors offering a similar drug for just $1, and that company promising to compete against other drug companies who sell generic drugsgs far above their cost. the original drug company had promised to lower the price of their drug, but that hasn't happened yet. when we come back, grab a laptop and get out of the way. an out-of-control bus slamming into a coffee shop. > plus, a r dangling over a tunnel.

eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right awayy if y have tingling, numbnessor muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual fobleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. pl had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me.
