crowd: yusef! - [bleep]! that s right! that s right! that s right! that s right, baby! - we were walking, and they were following us, a group with signs with, you know, a monkey, a watermelon. the n-word was used. and when we got to the flatbed truck, well, i said to dave, i said, dave, this is getting pretty volatile here. he said, don t worry. i got this. he said to me, i got this. we went on a flatbed truck, and the first words out of his mouth he pointed to them. he said, i m gonna be your mayor too. - as soon as yusef hawkins dies, it becomes the lead issue in the race for mayor. - today the healing has begun, and new york is coming together. - it is wrong to refer to bensonhurst as johannesburg or as selma, alabama. it s just not comparable. it s unfair.
put them in the tub and laid on top of them because i could hear it coming, so i knew what was going on. what did it sound like to you? it sounds like they say, it was a freight train. it was about 20, 25 seconds, and then some more. i don t know if it was power lines or what it was, but once everything stopped, all the noise, i knew it was safe to come out. reporter: she shared with me that she was a former emt personnel and she had to perform triage on some of her neighbors. those are part of the 20 that had injures, some of them critical, just in their backyard. it took about an hour and a half for emts to arrive to this location because there was so much debris covering the roads. i will leave you with this, this is a fully overturned flatbed truck that shows you the full power of what a tornado can do. bianna? never get enough, just the amount of power that these tornados have every time we cover these storms. you can never get used to it.
