side. you can see just hundreds of firemen on the ground, still just trying to get this out. we are six hours later, diane, kendis, starting to see daylight through this building, the building is starting to lean. police of course for the last couple hours, warned every resident to get back because this building could collapse. police and fire have not given us updated numbers, people trapped, people died, people at hospitals. we know at least 30 people at local hospitals. you guys if anyone was trapped in the upper floors it is nearly impossible to imagine them actually getting out. >> molly, of course seeing on twitter. there are many people looking for their loved ones. what sort of stories are you getting? i know you are still a few block as way. imagine there are many people in
