Reporter hey, good morning, robin. Thats right. We are in a laboratory and wearing protective gear just to be safe and have a firefighter standing by with us. Remember that chair and that blanket, its just been a little more than four minutes and take a look. It went up completely in flames. Oh, my god. Reporter in chicago flames and smoke engulfing the 50th floor of the hancock tower. Were getting reports of an officer down on the 50th floor. Reporter a Police Officer hospitalized for smoke inhalation from a fireball created by a candle in a residents apartment. According to the chicago fire department, just as in seattle firefighters battling this fire started by an unattended candle on a houseboat. Watch this cell phone video showing the dock going up in flames. Candle fires are very dangerous. Any time they get close to normal household objects like bedding, furniture, curtains, the fire is going to ignite and spread very quickly. Reporter nationwide more than 9,000 home fires are started by candles every year resulting in on average 86 deaths and 374 million in direct property damages. This video made by Underwriters Laboratories shows how a fire started by a candle quickly spreads to the curtains then engulfs the entire room in flames all in less than ten minutes.

Every day for ten days, expect new deals with historic low prices across target and target. Com. Hey ginger yes, ken . Great forecast are Coffee Makers on sale . Yes yes they will be. Ginger what about cameras . Oh yeah, yeah. Cameras ginger how about Christmas Lights . Yeah lights, cameras, its all in on the action. [ laughs ] see what i did there . After a dvt blood clot. Mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. Your loving touch stimulates his senses and nurtures his mind. The johnsons scent, lather, and bubbles help enhance the experience. So why just clean your baby, when you can give him so much more . All right, welcome back to gma. We are with back now with billionaire jeff bezos going from amazon to changing space travel forever. His company just successfully launched and returned a rocket and he joins us live from texas. Good morning, jeff, how are you . Good morning. Its great to be here. Thank you. Well, congratulations. You just made space history and tell us about the successful rocket launch that you had. Well, you know, youve seen a lot of rockets lift off, but youve never seen one land and so right behind me is the first fully reusable rocket and we just flew it into space and brought it back and landed it at the launch site. This is a big game changer because it totally changes the economics of space travel. When you throw a rocket away, an expendable rocket, you use it once and throw away all that expensive space hardware. It would be like taking getting in your 747, flying across the country and then throwing it away. Just using it one time. Imagine how expensive traveling would be. I would never do that with my 747. Yeah, yeah, you know, i usually keep my 747 for as long as i can keep it but so your website you definitely want to reuse those. And your website actually teased some information about a window seat and space travel. Is that something that you could possibly be planning . Yes, so were right now were you know, we just flew this vehicle successfully. Were going to this is the beginning of a long and very deliberate test program where were going to fly the vehicle, many, many times and then when were completely confident in it well start using it to take people up into space. That should take another couple of years. Wow. Now, do you want to go to space one day . Its one thing to launch the rocket successfully have it land and space travel absolutely. You know it.

[ female announcer ] to nurses everywhere, thank you, from Johnson Johnson. Welcome back. We have a story that surprised us. A third grader diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Chrissy has a very rare form of the disease and dr. Jennifer ashton has her story. Shes an enthusiastic artist. And a loving little sister. Hi. Reporter now 8yearold Christie Turner is fighting a devastating disease normally only faced by adults. I was kind of scared to kind of figure out what it was. Reporter in october chrissy came to her parents with a lump in her chest. After a series of tests doctors diagnosed a rare form of Breast Cancer called secretory carcinoma, the findings, a huge blow to the whole family. I was in shock. No child should ever have to go through cancer. And then it hits your family. It hits your little one. Im sorry. Its devastating. Its been really hard emotionally, mentally everyone has been broken down. Reporter secretory carcinoma accounts for less than 0. 15 of Breast Cancers and is the rarest form of the disease. Dr. Brian booker is part of the team treating her. Reporter chrissy had to undergo a simple mastectomy to represent it from coming back. Reporter theyre no stranger to cancer. Mom a Cervical Cancer survivor and dad was diagnosed with nonhodgkins liymphoma in 2008. Chrissys cancer is a shock. Were going to fight it for a family and be there for you no matter what. Reporter yet chrissy still remains positive. I hope that i fight it off. And dr. Ashton joins us now. Chrissy is clearly a fighter, thank goodness this is treatable. Yeah, and its incredibly rare, george. Thats the take home message. Theyre isolated reports in the literature. Youngest patient with this just 3 years old, the oldest, 87. Generally the prognosis is good. So we cant emphasize it enough, very rare but its going to frighten a lot of parents. What thud they Pay Attention to. When you talk about Breast Development in a young girl there are a couple of things the parents should know about. Any dramatic changes in the breast or Breast Development before the age of 8. The key thing is change in one breast versus the other. That would be a concerning sign but, remember, there are other things that affect the breast that arent cancer, trauma, infection, benign criysts. Breast ultrasound and generally a referral to a breast specialist but those are the overall warnings. Very, very rare. Its incredibly rare. We send her our best. Jen ashton, thanks very much. Over to michael. All right, thanks, george. Part one of the epic dancing with the stars twonight finale kicked off with a big bang last night. Last night the remaining four couples put it all on the line hoping to take home that mirrorball but only three remain. Here we go, one, two, one, two, three. Reporter the final four, showing off their fantastic freestyles monday night. Reporter but it was bindi irwin versus the backstreet boy. Hey. Reporter tied at the top of the leaderboard that had everyone talking. Reporter nick carters larger than life freestyle. The most incredible freaking awesome backstreet boy. Reporter and bindi irwin with a showstopping quick step. You my dear are the energizer bunny. Reporter her freestyle dance bringing the audience to tears with an emotional tribute to her dad. You touched everybodys soul. This entire experience has changed my life so thank you, thank you so much. Reporter our cameras behind the scenes exclusively ahead of tonights big finale. Were going to fight. For me, you know, its always been about my partners. Reporter in the end, the ballroom journey coming to a close for carlos penavega, now the stakes higher than ever. Will the mirrorball go to alek, bindi irwin or nick . We asked our audience online which dancing with the stars celebrity do you want to win the mirrorball trophy . 70 are rooting for bindi and derek and now we are joined by dancing with the stars season 18 finalist and cohost of the view Candace Cameron bure. And we saw what the audience, they think they want bindi irwin to win. Do you have anyone you want to win . Im on the audiences side. Bindi just she grabbed my heart this year and i think shes definitely the frontrunner. I think she has it in the bag. I i think america loves her and pulled on everyones heart strings and saw her journey and shes like the nicest person in the world. And you know like a showstopping moment because she didnt know the picture of her dad was going to show up. What did you think about that . I thought that was really sweet. I saw her get so emotional. Sometimes when youre in the dance and in the moment of that audience it can be overwhelming but there was something more to it than that and realizing after that it was because she didnt know that picture was going to go up. It just made sense and you felt it even more. And the judges called aalek freestyle a dance for the ands . Were you surprised by the freestyle. Yeah well, i was surprised he was even in the finals. I was so exted. I didnt think he would get to the finals. He was kind of in my mind the meat of my season like yes. I think hes done an amazing job and i was im so happy that he made it and i definitely think his freestyle was one that ill remember forever. No one has done it like an Army Obstacle course. Nick brought back a little bit of the Backstreet Boys. Big Backstreet Boys fan. Me too. What did you think about his. Listen, the guy knows how to move. I think he was great. I want a little bit more from nick even though he killed his routine but, you know, bindi, she stole my heart. And carlos made it a family affa affair, brought out his wife, something weve never seen before. And paula deen and a couple of the other contestants from the show that season and that, i think, is the heart of carlos. I loved what he did and he killed his routine, as well. He did such a good job and i love the connection that he had with his wife and he said even their relationship grew on the show because you can see because of the competition and could end strife or a bigger connection. Im sure if there was strife at home he wouldnt have it on the show. Part two of the dancing finale tons and all the finalists are here tomorrow for tomorrows ballroom bash. Dancing with the stars will return for its 22nd season next year on monday, march 21st. Dont miss candace on the hallmark channels movie a christmas detour. Make sure you watch that. Back to you, robin. Thank you, michael. I have a dance partner right here, jet you know its been 40 years since rocky won the oscar for best picture. Now sylvester stone is getting back in the ring, generating oscar buzz again in one of the biggest movies of this fall, this time around, you know what, jet, hes a trainer. Hes helping a young boxer prepare for the biggest fight of his life in creed. Because i said to myself, if i break im hurt, whatever i aint going to fix it. Why bother. Im just some bum living in your career, theres nothing. Youre a good kid. A good fighter. But you got your whole future ahead of you. Mi mine, its back there like all them guys on that wall. In the back. In the past. Yeah, still got it. Still got it. I loved all the rocky s and this one too. Watched it the other night creed and seems like the Natural Evolution for rocky. What made it so extraordinary because of this journey that rocky takes, it was presented by a man in his late 20s or 27 years old, who just became fixated on extending the story but also bringing in a new character, creed who can speak to whats happening today more like the millennials whereas rocky was the voice of the 70s and 80s, this fellow is speaking about the problems and issues that face younger people today. And so lets bring people up to speed, creed, of course is the son of apollo creed who is my friend, mentor and the fellow who changed my life so he became kind of an idolized object to me. I said ive always revered him then he died because of me in rocky i 4 so i live in this regret and a son appears just at a particular time when rocky has sort of given up on life. Michael b. Jordan. Yeah. Tell us about what it was like working with this young man. Does he have it. Yeah, he does have it and thats why i think hes going to go on and be a force in this industry because people are interested in watching him. I want to show a picture of you with the greatest of all time, muhammad ali. Of course. And youve always said theres just something what is it about boxing and something that you were drawn to with that. Two things i think, speed and fighting. In other words, racing, were always racing against time in one sense or another and i think when you see it portrayed metaphorically or symbolically and see a fighter like ali or someone you embrace the whole because its more than just a fight. Its touching you on a level that you may not even be aware of subconsciously. Thats a wonderful thing. Your beautiful family. Oh, my god. And your daughter modeling. I know youre proud of all your children. I am. Every one of them are beautiful and every one has a special ability and sofia is in usc. And sistine trying to make her own name. Much like this guy was trying to make his own name. Well, you deserve every blessing coming your way. Thank you so much. Always great to be here, seriously. You know what, he was here yesterday, sly and he took a picture with the crew always doing this thing, you know, do the rocky thing, took picture after picture after picture. One of the great guys and, creed, you saw it too. Michael b. Jordan, also, a great, great guy. Just so personalable and the movie is awesome. Cant wait to see it. Me too. You can wait until tomorrow because creed opens in theaters tomorrow. But amy and i already got the chance. Yeah. Outside to ginger. Oh, robin, at first have to say thanks to millie. Katie is helping me out holding my mike. Lets talk about the forecast. Especially in the west. All those Winter Weather advisories and warnings then the snowfall to come from the sierra right through the Northern Rockies even in parts of Northern Colorado and its, m car a chilly.

It secures the turkey so you dont have this 14 to 16pound behemoth sliding around. Reporter no rack . No problem. Carrots and celery sticks are your friends. Place them in the pan and set your turkey on top of them. Done and done. Thought only does it become your defacto rack but will flavor the drippings. Super cool. Next, dont spend the entire day in the kitchen. Prepare your sides ahead of time. You can do half the work, most of the work ahead of time. Peel potatoes for mashed poe tate toys hours ahead of time and leave them in a mixture of lemon and water in a salad spinner and even do it with apples for your apple pie and speaking of pie, make baking a piece of cake with this nifty trick. No Food Processor to make pie dough . Just grate the butter on the grater, really easy. Finally my favorite, forgot to chill the wine . Put a handle of salt in a bucket of water and ice, youll be chilling with your wine in a fraction of the time. The salt actually allows the water and ice to be colder than just ice and water alone.
