conclusion that that building had to be evacuated. >> reporter: ryan shaffer says the building owner approached his masonry company for a bid in february, but ultimately hired another company that was cheaper. shaffer took these photos just two days before the collapse, and even warned the workers there to get out. why did you think that something dangerous might happen? >> you could just hear noises, and we could see debris falling. and there was a guy working, and i said, if you value your life, get away from that building, and an hour later, i heard that the building fell. >> reporter: outside the devastated building, brandon colvin jr. has been waiting for days for news of his missing father. >> i've been trying my hardest not to think about it so ionbrw. going to try and push it to the back of my head and just think about nothing. >> reporter: the red cross has opened a shelter for people who have been forced from their apartments, and the city says it is offering $6,000 in aid to each family that has been displaced. norah? >> norah: doesn't seem like enough for all they have been
drones which are iranian made drones flying over the ukrainian capital. building behind me is substantially damaged. this is the area where one woman was actually killed inside that building by debris falling from a drone that was actually shot down. and this is not the first time. the past couple days there have been several of these kinds of attacks. obviously terrifying the local population here. here is what happened. >> reporter: terrified children running for their lives as russia unleashed another massive aerial attack on ukrainian cities. but ukraine says its air defense managed to shoot down all the ballistic missiles fired at the capital kyiv. now ukraine's forces seem nearly ready for their own much-anticipated counteroffensive. this weekend, ukraine's top general releasing this video showing troops gearing up for battle and showcasing modern
get into these void spaces that are created. sometimes it's very difficult to get to those. we're certainly in that phase now where a lot of the easier rescues that are all on the tops of the rubble piles have been made. so we're trying to get to those that are deeply in tune within the structure in those void spaces while we still can. >> what are the biggest risks that you're dealing with? because obviously any time you're... you've got layers of -- you've got different floors of a building that have collapsed on top of one another. there could be void spaces. there could be people inside there, but moving anything, you risk, you know, other debris falling. so what are the biggest impediments? >> safety is a very big concern of ours. with our heavy rigging team that we bring with us along with our structural engineers and our rescue customers, they will help move the large concrete slabs off of the pile in as safe as possible of a manner knowing they are trained with knowing
session. >> honey, what's this dent in the car? i am 100% positive it was not me. are you sure, babe? i am pretty sure. so -- what changed? are you too buzz to buzz the balloon? they were able to scoop up communication signals and pinpoint where they were coming from. they can pick up our conversations and other electronic communications like our text messages. did the pentagon take any counter measures to protect you? doubt it. the chinese strapped solar panels on the balloon that gave it juice to power a gang of collection sensors. why didn't they shoot this thing down in alaska? first, they told us they were scared of debris falling. even though there is only one person in the square mile. today, the changing story
debris to fall, if i could trajectory, it would have been over alaska, almost no risk of debris falling, maybe they didn't notice it coming across, we almost would have identified this nearly immediate the size of this balloon, this not a small balloon, not a m fast mover, this is slow and big. i would have guessed as soon as it penetrated air defense identification zone. it was 60 thousand feet we would have picked it up, i can't articulate a reason. maybe biden administration will explain. i can't. >> i'll -- tanks are headed to ukraine, fighter jets are not, who decides when weapons are okay to
against the big payload. congressman turner was talking about. they can disrupt the coms. there was some value in letting it go across and, you know, but as jeremy bash said last night on "nightly news" we have to develop technology to take something out like this without worrying about debris falling. we have to be better prepared. yes, they do have better -- they have satellites obviously. somebody said to me last night from the administration, this was a "dukes of hazard" operation. yes, but they still were able to penetrate our air space. >> they tested our, essentially our electric fence. >> right. >> the politics of this, cornell, not surprising anybody here. my goodness. should congress take a harder line on china? >> should. i mean, you know, we have it. it is across the board nearly universal. 3 in 4 voters believe this. 77% of democrats. 77% of independents. 82% of republicans. there is no downside to being tough on china. >> that is the problem. because our politics get in the
