i want to take you to this astounding story out of florida. you ever probably heard a lot about sinkholes. they're fairly routine in that state, but this one defies the odds. it did not just swallow a car or a house. it took out a three-story resort. the pictures are astounding. evan lambert of wkmg joins us live from the scene. the nighttime shots are nothing like the daytime shots. so, evan, set the scene for me. what happened overnight and how much actually disappeared? >> reporter: yeah, ashleigh, you're right. as soon as you see the daytime shots, really it sets in here. but apparently a 60-foot sinkhole is responsible for a building collapse here just about 20 feet behind us here at the summer bay resort. this is ten miles from walt disney world and apparently this all started just before midnight when security guard said he heard some loud noises, some pops, some banging, and then people inside were reporting some shaking, they saw windows burst, and he ran door to door to get people out. people were running for their lives, throwing th

tocourse there's no way diminish the astounding sense of having a black president. that would have been unthinkable. imagine someone saying that from podium 1963. that would be a great dream but it's a reality. legacy.art of the there's been obviously great growth in the black middle class. doinge african-americans all kinds of things in all walks of life so that's part of the legacy but you still have this 27% roughly of african-americans living in poverty. that's huge and that hasn't improved that much over the last 30 or 40 years. it was great improvement through that, thatbut after progress slowed so that's part of the legacy. inre's been great progress education but not enough. that's part of the legacy. any inner city and look at the housing. you have prosperous andcan-american communities poor ones so you have a mixed legacy and it speaks to the need struggle to continue. >> it has been one of the great of america and i think this as one of thedown greatest, if not the greatest, for freedom and then dignity ever held in united states. lookingoking back and fo

. >> i was astounded to see her there, simply astounded after having gone through 11 years of torture that she would go back to the place where those horrifying memories were forged. amanda berry also went back to get those pictures that her young daughter, that she bore in captivity apparently those pictures were in the house. more about ariel castro. a lot of people are saying he'll get his in prison. but he is more than likely going to spend a long time in solitary in protective custody. isn't he? >> reporter: he is. in fact, that's where is he right now. he's being kept away from the general population. he's moved out to grafton,ing ohio, a receiving area for the ohio penitentiary system going through a number of evaluations, physical and mental. what will authorities are going to do is figure out what is the right facility in the state of ohio to warehouse him for the rest of his life. and there are a number of those facilities that are specifically for violent sex offenders, but that decision hasn't been made yet. but the his family's very worried that he might become a trophy t

it's astounding to me that this show has taken off the way it has. >> rose: astounding? >> astounding. i don't think that's an overstatement. i -- this show on paper -- i come up with this thing about a 50-year-old man who finds out in the first 15 minutes that he's dying of cancer. 50-year-old man -- >> rose: and you buy into the idea at the beginning that he is just a regular guy trying to make life work, don't you? or not? >> yeah, he's somewhat depress >> rose: kind of a mid-life crisis. >> but he's an honorable man, a family man, a teacher. he wants to spread the joy of his love chemistry to a sea of apathetic students so you get his depression and i think people can relate to that. then all of a sudden the diagnosis of terminal lung cancer and you go "oh, this poor bastard." >> rose: (laughs) time for a new career. a new life. >> and when he decides to do this totally irrational thing through this set of circumstance you are kind of going "i get it. i don't know if i deed the same but i get it." >> location is also a character here. >> absolutely. >> rose: it gives

first of all, it's such an astounding sequence of events.t tragedy, one part recklessness, and another part strange confluence of circumstances. faith, is this store owner criminally liable in a situation like this? >> well, in order for you to get to criminal liability, that really is going to depend on the level of knowledge that he had about these snakes and their ability to escape. for example, is this something that happened before? i mean, did his level of negligence rise to such a certain degree that he could foresee that something like this could happen. based on what we know so far, it doesn't appear that that was the case. this man is actually a family friend with the parents of these young men and he said he considered them to be like his own children, with these boys. and so it's really unfortunate situation. you're really looking at civil liability here, when you have an inherently dangerous animal like this snake, you're looking at strict liability, which mean he doesn't have to be at fault. he could have had five locks on this

going with a lot of the moral mondays almost a thousand arrests so far just in that state it's astounding now you mention alex funding is ninety percent corporate what kind of corporations are we talking about here sure well you know that so that bill that i mentioned actually did not pass in north carolina which was shocking and which is a good indication of really just how extreme it is so alec is really upping this this push this at this meeting deciding to try around to to repeal renewable portfolio standard so alex funding comes from in many cases it comes from the same members that are going to benefit from the passage of the electricity pritam act or other efforts to repeal renewable portfolio standard. aleksey presented itself of the membership organization of membership be counted among members of both legislators and private sector members but the legislators pay just fifty dollars a year to join corporations pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to join alec join a task force a sponsor meetings sponsor workshops and act as legislators and push their agenda and in

>> lou, that's astounding, and this is both sides of the aisle now.e have the obama administration. we have mccain and graham, and, look, influence is in the form of 1.4 billion to the %-and kt made a point about the oil factor, lou. look, the s urges ez canal, egypt controls, 7% of the world's oil and gas passes through there every day on the way to europe and america. if you target that, every american will feel it inheir pocketbook every time they go to the pump, fill up, oil and gas prices will skyrocket. there's attacks launched out of the sigh nigh in egypt against israel, could spill into another conflict, and then the whole global economy's going to feel it. lou: most troubling to me is not any intonings for europe, if i may be provenn issue here, because we have sufficient energy in the country to stall any possibility of an impact of embargo or description in the world's oil supply, but wat bothers me, kt, is a set of leaders, this president, running around like they have it figured out, of pronouncing egypt unworthy f our aid rather than ta

>> it is astounding. we have the obama administration and mccain and gramm the influences when $.4 billion to the egyptian government but with that will factor the suez canal that egypt controlled 78% of the oil and liquefied gas passes through on the way to europe and america if the suez is targeted by the brotherhood every american will feel that in their pocketbook everytime they go to the pomp and fill up wheel and gas prices will skyrocket and also don't forget the sinai peninsula is the al qaeda as a hotbed and a tax air-launched there against israel that could spill over egypt's borders into a whiter conflict than whole global economy will feel it. lou: more troubling to me if i may be provincial we have sufficient energy to forestall any possibility to be an impact for the embargo or the disruption but what does bother me is a set of leaders, this president senator mccain and senator graham to pronounce each of done worthy of our aid instead of talking constructively about with the natural ally of

was shocked by this, and he, you know, identified her and even quoted some survivors who had, were astounded by her violence. and that got me, you know, on the lead. that was the first indication that here's someone who's an outstanding figure. let me test out, you know, whether or not this is true. let me try to corroborate this particular testimony with other materials. and then i got into the primary german documentation and found, in fact, her marriage application and verified who she was and what her own biography was and that she was, in fact, sent there and she was a real person, and she was there with her daughter. we could see that in the german document station. and then continued to collect more testimony about her. and it was related to primary sources in this case. other cases in my book, biographies where i identify people through memoirs. they came out, you know, had kind the a audacity to write their own memoirs and leave out some of this history, and i used that as a starting point and started to dig and made phone calls, wrote letters and did all that. >> host: where did th

. >> it's astounding to see the power of what i witnessed earlier. structure protection, making sure we keep everyone safe and protect that park at all costs. >> reporter: bucket drops are the crucial way they are fighting the blaze. parts of the fire are only accessible by air. on the ground, firefighters like harold cook get little rest. >> how does this compare to others you have fought? >> this is probably one of the worst ones, if not one of the more extreme fires since 2001 when i started. >> it's threatening grovewood. they wait for news about their vacation home. >> it's nerve-racking when they came knocking on my door. this is new for us. i have never been in an area with bad fires. i just wanted to get out. it was thuk in the valley. it cleared. i thought we were okay. we are hoping. >> reporter: more than 200 miles away, san francisco affected. power generators affecting cable fires in the city threatened by the wildfire that shows no signs of stopping soon. >> jennifer delgado in for indra petersons this morning. jennifer, hopefully the f

the rain totals have been astounding. in some places, ten inches in a single night. destroying homes, businesses and turning some streets into raging rapids. and tonight, there have been more deaths. nbc's kerry sanders is in nashville for us again tonight. kerry, what's it look like there now? >> good evening, lester. with more rain looming, there's a race to get soaked carpet, drywall, furniture, just about anything inside houses out before mold begins to grow. this pile behind me is just from one house here in nashville. it's a scene repeated across 17 states. hit by wicked weather. >> we're in a car that's flooding! >> the torrential rain sweeping across the midwest claimed another victim this morning. a 60-year-old man in oklahoma city was swept away in a flash flood while trying to pull his wife and daughter to safety from their stalled car. police found his body a short time later, nearly six blocks away, bringing the death toll from these storms to three. the heavy storms hit a half-dozen states with up to ten inches of rain. officials deployed rescue teams o

nonetheless, the research has astounded neuroscientists. >> it is starting to look like your brain and starting to show behaviors of a tiny brain. it is extraordinary. >> how will it help medicine? it will increase our understanding of brain disorders like schizophrenia or autism and may also help test drug treatment. scientists in edinburg who coordinated the research stressed they are not trying to grow spare parts or replacement brain tissue but to study disease. despite limitations, this is a significant step to understanding the extraordinary capability of the human brain. >> the army psychiatrist responsible for a mass shooting at an american military base has been sentenced to death. killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 of his fellow surgeons in texas back in 2009. he represented himself but did not mount a defense. soldiers an american who sympathized with the taliban on and believed in sharia law. he had nothing to say in his defense after killing and injuring so many people. ins was the aftermath november, 2009, where troops were preparing to go to afghanistan. 13 died,

in fact, our unemployment rate has dropped, as you all know, from 9.5% in january of 2011 to an astounding 5.4% just last month. (applause) >> i know, i know it has -- it has not been easy. we've had to work hard with our health services system, our care -- our health care providers, and labor to reduce employee health care costs. and because of our collaboration, we will now save $52 million over the next two years. and we've made tough but necessary choices on everything from escalating pension costs to reforming our unfair job punishing business tax. we'vje

>> hit a ringer. >> i'll try. >> i think it astounded him to be out on the yard and working out without being in shackles. >> that's one, two. >> i'm ahead, 2-0. >> he seemed like a kid, you know, at summer camp. >> but an even more significant challenge is in sears' future. >> i ain't going to lie. i worry about, am i going to be able to talk with these people properly? do i have enough knowledge or education to make it out there? am i going to be able to get a job? am i going to be able to stay away from dope and not repeat crimes and things like that? when i get out to the streets, i have to pick up where that 16-year-old kid left off. >>> next on "lockup: raw" -- >> they call me big "d." i've been in the barber shop since '93. >> there's one place in prison before everybody knows your name. >> my special haircut before they took the razors away from us was the short haircut. >> a close shave here can result in more than just a nick. no-charge scheduled maintenance. check. and here's the kicker... 0% apr for 60 months. and who got it? this guy. and who got it? this guy. and who go

and i think the community heritage strategem they've been developing is an astounding start and that's pa a big deal >> thank you. (calling names) and a commissioners good afternoon and very much. i want to thank both bob and steve for their presentations. i think they did a job that the steps our community as taken to bring it about. when we started with the planning process it's how do you make investment happen. and then you, you know, a funny thing happened on the way to the forum hey wait a minute we might lose our fabric here. at the same time that commission was coming into being and i think this is one of the things that happen. i say okay. the right people are coming together at the right time where the ideas can be considered and given full thought. i want to thank our planners and one was paul lord who helped to forward our community as a social community as a business community and making our planning document work for that. and finally i want to say that sometimes, we get so focused on planning we wanted to do this as japan is a historic community and i really want to invi

i mean this is really astounding. the car though, is really expensive. and i wonder, did you go too far? should have saved some money? >> well, i don't think anyone who drives the car wishes it was less safe than it could be and the tesla has now been shown to be safest car ever made and safest car on the road today and that's an astounding statement. elon musk set out to build the best car that could be built, not the best electric. consumer reports says it is best they ever tested. road and track most important car america ever made. the new data it is safer than anhing. it even broke the test equipment. so i think what he's saying if you design a car to be electric you can make it better than any car can be made. it's the first experiment down that path to say, what's the best car that can be made? melissa: at the same time of course you know there are critics everywhere. douglas mack tire of 24/7 wall street says, that basically you have the, you have a problem of both supply and demand. he says, quote, if elon musk is lucky the company will sell 30,

officials have not said whether it matters, whether they are there or not, which is pretty astounding, if you think about it. barbara starr joins us from the pentagon. what are your sources saying about the existence of the sources there, whether they are in the country or not, the target attacks may take place and also whether what they find matters in this whole equation, barbara. >> well, ashleigh, i think first on the question of the inspectors still being in syria, regardless of the public statements, the u.s. is going to want to see the u.n. inspectors out of the country and the general language we are hearing is that they would be out by saturday morning syrian time. that, of course, being later tonight east coast time in the united states, about seven hours time difference. they are going to want to see them out of there. they are bringing out additional information, additional samples but there are some samples that are already out of the country, we are told by our sources and being analyzed tissue and other samples. those kind of forensics are the most definitive evidence t

romans, chapter 9, verses 30 through 33, and i was making the point that paul here was making some astounding statements to the religious people of his day. he was saying that the non-religious people... the people that didn't go to church... the people that didn't tithe... the people that didn't do all the things that they were supposed to do, they were actually receiving relationship with god quicker and better than the people who were all of the religious... doing all of the religious things. now, that's a paraphrase of romans, chapter 9, verses 30 and 31, but i believe that that's accurate what he's saying, and this was offensive to the people of that day, just as it is offensive to religious people today. you know, many people who are going to church and doing all of the things that they should do... those things are good, but if you are putting your faith in those things and thinking that that somehow or another makes you more acceptable to god than the person who doesn't go to church and doesn't do all of these things, then when you start talking about a person being totally cleansed o

>> you know, neil, this is absolutely astounding. every day we are hearing more and more about how much time, energy and resources from our federal government are spying on people like you and me. i don't know what's more disturbing. the fact that i'm being spied on or the simple fact that our borders are still insecured. after a 9/11 menlity which is what our government uses to tell us why they have to do these things, we still have a border that is porous. this is astounding and i bieve we'reourning the death of the people's republic of the united states as we speak. neil: well you know, it comes in a week as you know, katrina, we got indations nsa was snooping, not just on phone calls. it was emails, chat rooms, where we go and search on internet. there was so much of information they could only store it s long. there are not enough terabytes or whatever you callhem to. they have to sift through the important ones. they had a lot to sift through. we get the fbi separately has sort of this wide net it cast on presumably bad guys bu

. >> people were astounded by several of the local socially active group, the black panthers, the greyanthers, the gay liberation movement, the women's liberation movement, they all came together because empowerment and the healthcare industry was something out of reach of most people in baltimore at that time. >> i looked at your web site which is a very nice web site. i wonder if you've gone corporate a little bit. you have over 100 employees. you have how many locations now? >> six locations, at this point. i wouldn't say that we've gone corporate. i would say, though, that we've tried to expand our access so people find us much more easy to reach and easy to get their care than in the past. >> locations are baltimore city and anna rando county. what are the people you see and the metrics you use? >> we're seeing about 15,000 unduplicated individuals each year and rendering about 50,000 visits to those individuals. >> what types of care do you provide? >> we have adult general medicine, infectious disease medicine, ob/gyn, pediatrics, psychiatry, certified addictions program, we off
