like. in between here, noah's ark crashes and the result of it, we have 30 something, 42 animals, i don't knowhe exact number. thank goodness no human life was lost. i can tell you this, anderson, if these animals were not put down last night, this is a sight you would not have wanted to see. 18 bengals, bears, wolves, probably the largest escape ever. the veterinarian got within 20 feet and actually shot the animal. what did the animal do? comes exploding right towards the veterinarian. what would anybody else have done? >> that was just today. even though this tiger had been hit by a dart, it still lunged for the veterinarian? >> yes. see, anderson, it takes anywhere from three to six minutes for a tranquilizer to beginning to take effect. that animal is full bore for three to six minutes until it takes effect. did it hit the muscle? did it hit the bone? we have the great medicine and rifles and all of that stuff -- you are not 100%. >> so even today, that guy shot the animal within 20 feet with the dart but immediately, the animal leapt, so the authorities put the animal down? >> exactly. b

the beautiful columbus zoo, 10,000 acres here, like i told someone earlier, noahs arc in the center of understand something, last night, the sheriff did what he had to do. if he had 30-something animal, lions, leopards, cougars, the neighbors one mile from the scene, you can imagine what we could wo have had here. we probably would have had loss of human life. the wolf, i'm not extremely worried about that. i'm not worried about the monkey. but a cat that did end up some someone's backyard. they found that an hour or so ago. this is a tragedy. i talked to the wife. she is in a state of shock. she hugged me and was shaking. i said we are taking the animal to the zoo. we took three leopards, monkey and young grizzly to the columbus zoo. we will keep those until legally we can figure out what has to be done. we did the right thing. i think the sheriff did the right thing. right now, obviously the loss of animal life is tragic. and what happened, happened. >> i guess a lot of us don't understand what was the origin of all of this? a private zoo? why were these animals there? what happened

noah's ark. a japanese company has created a shelter to be used in disasters like an earthquake or tsumani. the floating capsule is made from enhanced fiberglass and looks like a huge tennis ball. it can hold four adults and comes complete with a small lookout window and breathing holes on top. tom, the company cosmo power already has orders for 600 of them. kind of thinking like after hurricane irene, i might be interested in one. >> tom: down here in miami we skated past irene and she visited you, no doubt. we're going to revisit japan as a matter of fact next week. that's "nightly business report" for friday, september 30. i'm tom hudson. goodnight, everyone and have a great weekend. susie. >> susie: good night, tom. i'm susie gharib. thanks for joining us. we hope to see all of you again next week.
