Lahaina residents now allowed to return to see firsthand the devastating damage. This is going to take years to recover. And it just breaks my heart because something my kids. We held on. We are here. We are alive. Margaret Emergency Proclamations issued as thousands seek out temperate dreary tote shelter and supplies. We cant get goods there fast enough. The harbors are our lifeline. Margaret new questions tonight after maui residents say they received little to no warning as the fires barreled towards them. Without a proper evacuation order, people in a desperate attempt to outrun the flames got into their cars and took to the road. But the fire quickly caught up. Attorney general Merrick Garland announced a Special Counsel to investigate President Biden son, hunter. The move gives u. S. Attorney david weiss expanded powers to continue his probe into Hunter Bidens tax and gun charges. The judge in the January 6th Case says she will accept some limits on what former President Trump can publicly say about the evidence. Margaret and on the road. A dream that took a backseat. I just had an attachment to it. Margaret now realized with the help of some old friends. Its in your heart. Youve just got to help somebody like that. Oh, my gosh. Margaret good evening, and thank you for joining us on this friday night. I met Margaret Brennan in for norah. We begin tonight with the latest on the scorching wildfires still burning in maui as the governor says the death toll has risen to 59. Some residents are returning to parts of west maui to sift through the rubble for their belongings. Meanwhile, the pictures from above show the scale of the ruin, with block after block reduced to ash and the burnt out wreckage of the Business District shows how quickly the flames over took that community. At one point, drivers were forced to abandon their vehicles as they sat in bumpertobumper traffic in a desperate bid to escape. The maui War Memorial Gymnasium has been set up as one of the many shelters across the island for evacuees who have lost everything. Volunteers are handing out food, water, diapers, and other muchneeded supplies. And thousands are stranded at the airport as they try to escape the chaos and return to the mainland. We have Team Coverage from every angle of this tragedy, but cbss Jonathan Vigliotti has seen the devastation of lahaina up close. Good evening to you, jonathan. Reporter and good evening to you, margaret. We walked 2 miles down historic french street, and i dont recall ever seeing a building that was not damaged, officials are now confirming come of all of the Bodiesthey Have recovered so far, all of them are of people who were desperately trying to flee on foot. There was panic. And tonight, there is a mounting question why was this community not evacuated sooner . New video shows the absolute chaos as flames ravaged lahaina tuesday night. You can hear the desperation. We have to leave we have to leave. Reporter and in the aftermath, the devastation coming into sharper focus. Especially striking, this line of burnedout cars. A haunting landscape frozen by fire. Residents got into their cars and flooded the street, but they could not outdrive the flames. We are talking car after car, i see several dozen of them were engulfed in flames, and residents tell me many of these drivers actually got out and jumped into the ocean to save their lives. But with a death toll now in the dozens and so many still unaccounted for, the agony grows. We met this man searching the charred rubble for his friends and coworkers. Yeah, they lived somewhere around here. You cannot recognize the place anymore. Reporter have you heard from them since the fire struck . No. Since that day, i cant get reached or called them. What the [bleep], dude. Reporter the common refrain. No warning sirens. No time to prepare. We did not get an evacuation. We kind of just figured it out on our own. When the neighborhood next to us was completely engulfed, black smoke, we couldnt even see anything. It was crazy. Im just so grateful to be alive. Reporter emotions are still raw. Fire surrounded our homes before they could even get out. There was nowhere to go. And these are Beautiful Homes that are very old and they are made of wood. Lit up like a matchstick fear of a nobody had warning. Reporter a full scale mobilization is underway, airlifting vehicles, supplies, and National Guard troops. Residents like keith hunter are pitching in to help first responders. People lost everything. Homes, jobs, eat their cars. Some their pets. There are still people missing. I have never seen something ravaged so fast. Reporter we are walking down front street through the historic district. And you can see every building here has been absolutely gutted by these flames and we are noticing these orange xs, that indicates they have actually gone in and inspected, but what is incredible, and this gives you a sense of scale, we have been walking now for more than a mile, and these are the first buildings i have seen that have been looked at. The task overwhelming. The loss of an entire town immeasurable. It break my heart, you know . My kids go to school they are. I have lived there since i was 15 years old. You know . Everything we know is lost. Its devastating. Reporter and specialists are being flown to the island to help search through all of that ash that you saw. It is a tedious process that will take several months, and margaret, it will take many years before this Community Rebuild again. Margaret and the trauma will be with them. Thank you for sharing their stories tonight. And with hundreds of homes damaged or destroyed, thousands of residents have been displaced with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Authorities are setting up Emergency Shelters until more permanent housing can be made available. Reporter Rudabeh Shahbazi from our Cbs Los Angeles station is there with survivors. Reporter the devastation from tuesdays wildfires forced thousands to flee, as entire communities burned around them. My whole life in lahaina. My school, my job, like, just come in the blink of an eye, just, all gone. Reporter now, more than 2100 people are staying at six Emergency Shelters across the island. Ekolu brayden will send another night in his car. I left so much over there. I know i could have done something, but i didnt. Reporter as the flames were ripping through liza tobias home in lahaina, she begged her father, carlo, to evacuate with her, he refused. I wanted to force him to come with me, but he was very hardheaded vehicle he didnt want to come. He said he is going to stay with my mom. Reporter tobias mom say it made it safely to a shelter, but her father is among the 1,000 people Officials Say are potentially missing. The whole complex is called. Reporter Melinda Young is searching for her coworker, mona cole, who she reported missing peers because of the phone service, she is not on any of ts for maui prep for the civic center. And so we are just getting it out there. Reporter hawaiis governor says 80 of lahaina is now gone, and for the first time in three days, residents like caleb and julie knapp, visited their home at 16 years, which is now just smoking rubble. This is our first time coming our house burned down. Reporter and logistics present a problem. The only way to get supplies to the island is by air or by boat. But as you can see behind me here at kings church, the community has stepped up. Margaret . Margaret thank you, rudabeh fear of and while shelters are overflowing, mauis airport is overflowing with thousands of stranded passengers attending to evacuate the island. Cbss carter evans is there and has been speaking with desperate travelers who have had their dream vacation turned into a nightmare. Reporter thousands of people are still trying to flee maui. Oh, my lord. Reporter many taken by bus through the burn zone to the airport. The stanleys were on board and shot this video. We could see just smoldering peers just ruins. Fire. That line goes way back. Reporter at the airport, a chaotic scene as they just really try to get home, many sleeping up a small airport until they can get a flight out. Somewhat cuts and bruises, each with their own harrowing story of survival. This family from North Carolina jumped into the ocean to escape the flames. The ocean almost swept my kids away a few times. We stuck together. We held on. We are not going to die. And we are here. We are alive. Reporter this is the tsa security line. It is so long it is hard to tell where it begins and where it ends. Some of these people have been waiting for days, and now airlines are flying in empty planes with Relief Supplies to help that everyone home. Like this united plane, loaded with medical supplies, and southwest and Hawaiian Airlines are selling tickets as low as 19. Many people arriving at the airport who dont have bookings, so we have been working in a little bit of Scramble Mode at the airport to make sure we take advantage of every available seat. Is a super, like, banding together right now. Reporter volunteers are helping, helping with supplies e stranded at the airport. Many of the like the stanleys many peoplehere lost so much themselves. They gave us all of these blankets and pillows. Just random volunteers would show up and hand out food, offer to take us home, showers and stuff. Everyone was super nice. Reporter Hawaii Tourism Authority is now taking the unusual step of asking all visitors to leave the island of maui if they dont have any business here. Now, many of these people will be going to honolulu, where the Convention Center there is prepared to take on up to 4,000 evacuees until they can find a flight home. Margaret . Margaret wow. Carter evans on the ground. For a look at how long these windy conditions will be fanning the flames, we turn now two meteorologist mike bettes from our partners over at the weather channel. Good evening, mike. Margaret, good evening. Keeping a very close eye on the Wind Conditions across mile we. In lahaina, we instill gusty,3r the next ready for hours and this is why we keep a close eye on any hot spots that might be weaneddriven. The forecast, though, longerterm, also some concerns beer but here is why. Some areas of disturbed weather in the pacific basin. Could be swarming to her and approach the Hawaiian Islands . Modeling suggesting we may have that happen south of the islands by next tuesday or wednesday followed by another one that goes north of the islands about a week from now. As far as the forecast goes for the lower 48, more thunderstorms over the weekend, especially in the midwest and northeast fearful clusters of thunderstorms with high winds, hail, and charges were some flooding, as well, especially, margaret from across new england where we have had flooding off and on throughout the summer. Margaret we turn now to a Major Development in the deepening investigation into hunter biden. Today, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed delaware u. S. Attorney david weiss as Special Counsel in the matter. This new status means weiss isnt subject to daytoday supervision by Justice Department leaders. Cbss Catherine Herridge reports, it appears the case may now be headed to trial. This appointment confirms my commitment to provide mr. Weiss all the resources he requests. Reporter Attorney General Merrick Garland said david weiss himself asked for Special Counsel status after leading the criminal probe into the president s son since 2018. The appointment of mr. Weiss reinforces for the american people, the departments commitment to both independence and accountability, and particularly sensitive matters. Reporter but the timing matters. Two weeks ago, in a delaware court, a plea deal for two Misdemeanor Tax Charges and a Felony Gun Offense fell apart over whether the president s son could avoid future criminal charges. Weiss told congress in july he had not requested Special Counsel status. He hasnt publicly stated why he changed his mind. But on friday in a federal court filing, weiss said the Plea Negotiations with hunter biden were at an impasse, and the government now believes the case will not resolve short of a trial. I think the Special Counsels greatest enhanced power as a result of todays order is that he just has much more independence to pursue charges against hunter biden. Nice to meet you. So nice to meet you. Reporter and irs whistleblower recently told cbs news the evidence supported more serious felony tax charges. It is a matter of, are we treating everyone the same . Reporter and in this case . No, i dont think so. Reporter responded to the Special Counsel announcement from Hunter Bidens attorney said we expect a fair resolution not infected by politics. Republican congressman james comer chairs the House Committee investigating the bidens. It is 100 political. I mean, how can you appoint someone who less than two weeks ago tried to negotiate a sweetheart plea deal. Reporter the white house had no comment, but legal expers told cbs news this could slow the investigation, now in its fifth year, even further, possibly pushing it into the middle of the 2024 president ial campaign. Margaret . Margaret Catherine Herridge. I know you will continue to follow it for us. The federal judge overseeing former President Trumps prosecution on charges of seeking to overturn the 2020 election, cautioned that there are limits on what he can say publicly about the investigation. Trump had requested to speak broadly about evidence and witnesses. Judge Tanya Chutkan said making witness interviews public would risk intimidating them. She said Political Considerations would not guide her decisions. Ftx founder Sam Bankmanfried was sent to jail today. Well have thee latest onon the cryptocurrrrency mobilile next.

Gratitude for caregivers, like his wife, nancy. Friends, like his dog, taco. And memories, like his 73 ford mustang, which, even though it stopped running back in 1999, has taken up permanent residence at his house. Its a big paperweight. Reporter [laughs] a big paperweight. Why did you keep it . I just had an attachment to it. Reporter had it since high school. He was proud of it. Reporter craig had hope someday his boys might want to fix it up with him, but they showed no interest in car. Then he planned to do it himself, but als had other plans. So the car sat rotting. Until some Old High School friends caught wind. And everybody come as soon as i called these guys, they were like, yeah, lets do it. Speak within your heart. You just got to help somebody like that. Reporter so, for the next year, they went to work on it. Put in under hundreds of hours, while other classmates paid for parts, not long ago. Are you ready, craig .
