like you see in the street everywhere, the thing you might be able to lift up yourself. it was much bigger than that, heavier that that, which is why investigators think it would have likely taken more than one person to open this thing up. whoever it was, they opened it up, got inside that underground vault and when they were in there, they cut the fiber optic cables that ran through it. nine minutes later, they did it again, a different, nearby, underground vault containing fiber optic cables. they pulled open the doors, got in there and sliced off the fiber. the consequences of that were immediate. people all over the area instantly lost cell phone service, land line service and 9 lesson call service went down. police to have to tell people in the area that if they were
these four cousins reportedly dead now, governor beshear brought that story to us, one and a half to eight years old, there are tragic stories all over that state, sir. >> yes, so sad. so sad to see it develop and watch it unfold as each county, there was about six of our counties that neighbor each other and some are worse than other, it's so sad to watch. >> knowing there are so many people who need help still right now, what is the latest with actual water rescues that are happening? >> so our water rescues are minimal today. we are able to get to most locations, we are trying to get to them by vehicle. we still use a boat occasionally, but the most residents and check on the well-being of every individual there. we are really connecting a lot of the people here to their family from other states. our cell phone service is out, land line service is out, so those people have had no touch
black smoke coming up. that's a home burning or that is a structure of some type burning. and so, we're seeing that from time to time, those flareups of that dark black smoke. the y, you want to go to the left here, you can see through the haze that fissure that's feeding all this. we're about 7 or 8 miles away from the main fissure located in the leilani estates ighborhood. and you can see it from here, shooting some 200 feet into the air. even from where we are, it is bright in the distance. the only t that's obscuring it right now is a little bit of smoke. as you mentioned, there were about a dozen people who were stranded by lava just on south side of this lava flow. there were actually three that were rescued over the weekend, now they're down to nine. these people an't in any immediate danger per se, the reality is they have no water, power, land line service, cell phone service out there either so essentially they are cut off from the rest of the island. on one side, they have literally
that evacuation. in that area it's not a nice place to be. people are saying they don't have a good place to go, where they're at is not good either, they's no water, no power, no cell service and no land line service either. if people want to get out of that area, they're going to have to do it the whole fashioned way, maybe they have to send up s.o.s. signals, maybe they have to send up flares. otherwise these people are on their own with no food, no water and really no means to communicate with the outside world. >> how dangerous would it be to do these air lifts out of that area? >> reporter: well, it is more dangerous certainly than not having to do them at all, which would have been the other option, authorities actually went through that area and swept it, and said to anyone remaining, look, the lava is about to cross the last remaining escape route and they
who did that final sweep telling people, hey, the lava is about to cut off their escape, and some said they didn't have anywhere else to go so they were opting to stay and take their chances. the good news is that that area is, that isolated area is under a voluntary evacuation area, but there are other parts of the island that have been told you need to get out or you'll be arrested. there's no incoming threat of lava in those areas, on the one side, you have molten lava, and the other side you have the ocean, so there's not a lot of good options for people. there's no cell service, there's no water, there's no land line service, so these people have really no way of communicating, so if they do want to be rescued, then they're going to have to send some kind of signal, maybe spray painting sos
