Robin. Thank you. Joining us now is salvage master Sylvia Tervoort who worked with the coast guard to save those crew members. Good morning to you, and do you have any idea of the condition this morning of the four men . The condition, they are doing well at the moment. They were really exhausted when they came out of the casualty yesterday. They have been in very awkward, difficult circumstances. It has been dark for more than 36 hours. The humidity was really high and then at the end the atmosphere, there was a combination, of course, of air, some fuel in the engine room compartment where they were kept and the temperature was up to 150 fahrenheit. Can you just tell us the emotions when the final man was pulled and you knew that he was safe . Everybody was so happy and, you know, i have even heard people talking about tears and all the emotions going on. No, they were really, really excited. I mean, the first three out but getting the fourth out was an additional challenge. Talk a little bit more about the fourth one. That was really i mean, it was precarious throughout but that one in particular was very frightening. The first three, by tapping they found the crew and they located them. They had drilled a hole in the ships hull but just the three were close by but the fourth one, they had to go through the engine room in the dark with we had i think over 24 people on rotation going in, going out in the circumstances that i just described to get to the last person who was kept in the engine control room and they had to take out the glass, get it broken, open that space for him to take out the last man. As you said this was over 30 hours that all of this was going on. The coast guard was able to free the first 20 men but then when they couldnt get to the last four in their rescue efforts they call in your group, and i understand this isnt work that you guys normally do . Our normal operation would be salvage cargo, prevention of pollution, prevention of the environment from any pollution, from any casualty, but the search and rescue operation is normally done by the authorities, the rescue teams, which we are normally not part of. Amazing. A total a true and total team effort. Well, we are thrilled beyond belief that these four men are now safe and those that put their life on the line to save others, incredible. Sylvia, thank you very, very much. Please give our best to all. No problem. Thank you very much. I love it. No problem. No problem. Glad that theyre all safe and that theyre doing as well as they are. Teamwork, like you said. Were going to turn now to a provocative new move from north korea overnight firing off at least two projectiles into the sea but at the same Time Offering to resume negotiations with the u. S. Over its nuclear program. Martha raddatz is tracking the latest in washington this morning. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, michael. Those north korean missiles keep on coming despite diplomatic overtures and these overnight launches mark at least eight rounds of shortrange missile tests since the end of june when President Trump met with kim jongun on the border of north and south korea. It was just a month ago that President Trump said kim had sent him a letter apologizing for the tests, saying they were in reaction to military exercises and would stop when the exercises stopped but those exercises ended in august and it was just hours before these latest launches that north korea said it was willing to resume talks on denuclearization but these launches complicate that effort, although north korea clearly sees this as a negotiating strategy, george. Well see if the meeting happens. Martha, thanks very much. Were going to move now to the latest on President Trump. Our brandnew poll with the Washington Post released just moments ago showing a dramatic droop in the president s Approval Rating, now 38 . A sixpoint fall since july. No president in modern times has sustained such low Approval Ratings for so long and and our chief White House Correspondent jon karl in fayetteville where the president held a rally. This latest drop seems to be fueled by real concerns about the economy. Reporter the poll shows that a solid majority of americans, george, still feel positively about the economy, but really worry about the future. Take a look at this number. 60 of americans fear a recession in the coming year. Thats bad news for President Trump. But even worse is this next set of numbers. 43 believe that the president s policies will increase the chance of that recession. 34 believe theyll make no difference and only 16 of americans in our poll say that the president s policies would help head off a recession. The bottom line, you have a big majority fearing a recession and far more thinking that the president s policies will make things worse than make them better. Yeah, a lot of concern about that trade war with china. In the meantime, the president and the Vice President both in North Carolina where you were last night trying to campaign for this house special election today but this is a house seat that hasnt been won by a democrat since 1963. Oh, this is trump country, george. This house district, the ninth district of North Carolina, is a district that donald trump carried by 12 points in 2016. So the fact that this is now going into the special election as a tossup is another worrying sign for republicans and they are pulling out the stops as you mentioned. The president and Vice President here yesterday. That was the Vice President s Second Campaign stop in this district. Hes also dispatched his chief of staff. The campaign is calling this a dry run for 2020, a loss would be deeply troubling for the republicans. We will be watching the results. Jon karl, thanks very much. Ill be heading to houston for abcs democratic debate thursday night, ten candidates on stage at the same time, same night for the first time that starts at 8 00 eastern. Now to the wildfire danger out west. Nearly two dozen uncontained fires are burning across several states. Its fueled by dry and windy conditions forcing some to evacuate.
