5
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.719
<v Speaker 1>assisted living facility last night an unfathomable tragedy. Now, the

6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>International Association of Firefighters says understaffing and limited resources gave

7
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>limited rescue efforts and cost more lives. The fire broke

8
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 1>out about nine to thirty last night on Oliver Street, Covina.

11
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 2>This is a fairly massive structure, massive facility.

12
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 3>It housed nearly seventy people.

13
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>And you know, thank god, the vast, vast majority of

14
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>them were able to be taken out.

15
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Nearly three dozen people were taken to hospitals, including five firefighters.

16
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>They have since been released. No where are the cause

25

51
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.759

00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.680

<v Speaker 1>the heavier stuff, a little bit of rain out along

69
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.840

87
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 2>and the bull sharks, but there's so much more than that,

88
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Especially in New England, we do.

89
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.439

91
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.360

96
00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 3>All the virtual.

97
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 5>Reality experiences that they're looking at are actually like field

98
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 5>projects that we've done where we've taken the cameras out

99
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 5>with us, we leave them running so that the guests

100
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 5>can see exactly what we see when we're out in

101
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:10.959
<v Speaker 5>the field, and it's just a way for us to

102
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 5>bring our research into the main building without anybody having

103
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:15.480
<v Speaker 5>to get wet or get on a boat.

104
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Researchers tag sharks and set them free to track them

105
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 2>and learn more. The first tagging of the season is
