on the story, martin savidge and it's great to have you all here. in, what do we know about antoinette? how long has she been at the school? has she been publicly recognized for the heroic work that she did? >> reporter: today we knew she did something extraordinary but until this moment when we heard the 911 call did we really know what a remarkable person she is. this goes beyond hero. it was emotional to hear that. this is a woman you can tell she isn't bartering for her own life here. she actually cares about this young man despite the fact he has an ak-47 and 500 rounds of ammunition and in a school with hundreds of children. she's genuinely concerned about him. that's what comes across so strongly here. one person caring for another despite the fact this person is armed with a gun. >> you know, often in the news we're told we don't report on positive stories enough, that's a reason we wanted to bring you the words of antoinette tuff tonight, because too often we don't show people who have done truly heroic things and she has. jeff gardere, she'

our correspondent, martin savidge who has just stepped out of this courtroom. orld was it like to be sitting there and witnessing it in person? >> reporter: you know, i have to tell you, brooke, that i think in a lot of ways we went into this courtroom thinking it was going to be the crimes of castro that were going to be remembered most. but the beauty of this horror that comes out is the fact that it is the words of his victims that anybody in that courtroom will remember more so. because what you saw was their ability to go from being victims to triumph over whatever ariel castro did. they truly are the victors in all of this, but they went through hell in the process. i knew a lot of the law enforcement in there. i used to work in this town, grew up in this town. i know the attorneys. know the law enforcement. many of them are retired, came out of retirement just to be in this courtroom to watch what happened because they had tried to look for these girls for so many years. i have not often been moved to watch them being moved, but they were. deeply moved. v

martin savidge joins us now. what was it like as this demolition was getting under way there? >> reporter: it's an odd sense that you got. i think it was celebration and saturdayness at the same time. the end of a horrible chapter and the recognition that this community is going to move on. right behind us they are still hard at work. they are down to the dirt add it were. they have cleared about the last remnants of the debris. we're in the process of doing it. the weather has been a bit of a problem. tths mo it's moving in rain again. the basement was the heart of that house of horrors where a bunch of the abuse took place for those women. once they get that down then they will put grass down and the future of it remains to be seen. it could be a park. it could billion playground. i think that the most powerful moment was michelle knight because maybe the last person you might expect and yet she felt she had to be here this morning and watch it all happen and speak out as she did. >> is there kind of an explanation or is she saying why she is allowing herself to be so public

cnn's martin savidge is in clermont with more. good morning, martin. >> reporter: good morning, carol. you really ought to be here, it's only when you're right up near the building when you realize how remarkable, even miraculous that this wasn't a tragedy. it's certainly a disaster, don't get me wrong, but not a tragedy, because everybody inside of that condominium complex were able to get out in time. when you look at the devastation behind us, that's building 104, it was 10:30, 11:00 sunday night when they began to hear a popping and cracking noise and the windows began blowing out in sequence, then you mention the security guard. what an amazing story he is, because he'd been two months on the job, only five minutes working that night, when he has someone running up to him saying there's a problem inside. when he went inside that building, he didn't know really what was going on, but he went door-to-door to get everybody out. take a listen. >> one lady had a child they couldn't get out of the room. they had to bust the window t
