>> his real name was joseph merrick. he died in 1890 and grew up in lesser england and moved to ireland. they still are not clear what it is, they bleached his skeleton so they cannot get a good dna sample. he had this effect on london at the time because he started to exhibit himself as a freak show artist and then this doctor, it was his idea, different from the play. he grew up, his mother died when he was 10 and his mother remarried and her children tortured him. he left and lived with his uncle. he rolled cigars until his hands got so deformed to could not do it. he was educated. to be educated as a child you had to be religiously affiliated and his mother was a baptist. he knew the bible by heart and he knew the book of prayers. and he enjoyed jane austen. >> you described him as innocent and beautiful and effortlessly benevolent. that is the man that you saw. >> that is right. >> did he see himself that way? >> that is a good question. i do not know. >> you must've appreciated his intelligence. >> for sure. he did

they were close enough to the merrick that they were able to see the merrick being shelled.e and harassed by this u-boat ande they beautyfully started rassed radioing in this activity and the position to try and call foy some assistance, and unfortunately, the 140 also had a radio, and were able to hear this.y, the said well, we don't want that ee happening, so they started -- the mirek was still hard agrouns so they started steaming over towards the diamond shoals rd lightship and began shelling se that. now these guys having about a five-hour process to get under a way decided it would be better y just to drop the little and lifeboats and head for shore. so they abandoned ship, and this was actually sunk by surface guf gunfire from the u-boat. after that sunk, the 140 returned to the merrick and sunk that, as well. so that brings us to the mirlow, the last vessel lost off north carolina. we're unclear again where this f is.ere thi this was a british tanker. i have it here saying it was was sunk by a torpedo. there was speculation whether it was sunk by a torpedo or sunk by a mine. we kn

for more on uber, matt spoke with bill merrick.e started by asking about uber 's recent pr challenges. >> anytime you have a company growing as quickly as uber and probably the fastest growing have ever seen adding 50,000 jobs a month, you will face scrutiny of we are optimistic about the future. it has the potential of being one of the most transformative companies would have ever seen. fornd absolute home run google. how was 2014? how are you doing? >> it was extremely busy. as of this morning, we had a company go public just this morning. we have quadrupled our investigation -- investment in life sciences. a $125 milliond fund for europe and israel and on top of all of that, i managed to get married. >> congratulations on the wedding. investment,sciences health care, 1/3 of what you invest in now. is it the biggest growth area you are looking at? it is. personally, an opportunity to make a profound impact on the world. life sciences is in information technology. there's a real chance to have an impact on the world they goes beyo

shannon merrick has just gotten home from her job as a hospital secretary.and grabs her camcorder. >> with the cars coming down and the people out there walking, you knew that it was a bad one waiting to happen. >> drivers on east john street who don't have snow tires or snow smarts, are in trouble. this car gets an "f" in skid control. >> the entire road was slick. they just kept sliding and spinning the whole way down. >> and gravity gets the upper hand in this game of slip and slide. >> maybe you should go back down the hill. uh-oh. i was worried about the pedestrians walking around. the cars were sliding and there was nothing they could to do stop. this driver lets out a bloodcurdling scream. >> help, help, oh, my god! help! >> you're okay, you're okay. >> a couple of pedestrians on the street yelling, it's okay, you're fine, you're fine, it's okay. >> it's so icy, serena forbes barely makes it on to bus 43, now sitting for the longest time on top the street. >> it turned into hell on wheels. >> and she has a front-row seat. >> it was like in slow motion

after that sunk, the 140 returned to the merrick and sunk that, as well. so that brings us to the mirlow, the last vessel lost off north carolina. we're unclear again where this is. this was a british tanker. i have it here saying it was sunk by a torpedo. there was speculation whether it was sunk by a torpedo or sunk by a mine. we know that mines were laid in this area by the 117. and some of the war diaries are confusing as to what vessel it hit with torpedoes versus where it laid mines. it's possible it struck a mine. i would suggest it's more likely that it struck a mine than was torpedoed. particularly given the crummyness of the torpedoes of the era. often just bounced off your ship. this story is of particular significance and interest to the u.s. coast guard. so this was -- it struck a mine just about 10 miles off of wimble shoals and was carrying fuel. there were thousands of gallons of fuel oil immediately spilled into the ocean and burst into flames. there were 52 crewmen aboard and they began immediately to abandon ship. one of the lifeboats tu

seem to understand why it was so ominous, or only several hundred miles east the russians are busily merrick kelley dividing europe once again. and something that no one in europe really thought possible that could ever happen on european territory. there is still a war going on on the european continent. and for the passover years i was living in europe, working for a radio free europe, and our polish involved college would warn us about russian aggression, but the spread of russian influence and money and aggression against their neighbors. they were always derided as being the silly cold war people stuck in the past commando to understand we have a new relationship with russia, and why are you guiding us into all these problems? now those people been proven right and i would say that their worst nightmares have actually, that they could've saved even worse things. look what putin this week has defended the hitler-stalin pact of 1939. this is very scary stuff. i don't think most people in europe have come to terms with the editor because people in the united states have come to terms with
