colleagues who said, do not come to the office, stay put where you are. if you are in the office, go to the top floor and hunker down. i myself decided not to go to the office. a security person went on foot to the office as security forces were gathering toward the radisson. my security person was able to reach the office and gather all the staff on the top floor and kind of hunkered down for about an hour and a half as they were listening to the gunfire and kind of the security forces in the parameter of the hotel. once we were told it was safe and we could evacuate, we managed to get the 25 people out. niek, what can you tell me about the security at the radisson. i assume you ve been there many times. how extensive is the security?
to the point where you have to hang on in any kind of wind. still, the fear is that the rains and what may come overnight could be devastating for this community. it could be devastating to the tourism industry and we know this storm is going somewhere and wherever it goes, jennifer gray can attest to, it will be destruction, the likes of which is seldomly seen with a hurricane. they are trying and waiting to see what is next. martin, have the tourists managed to get out or hunkered down in secure locations? there are a lot of tourists there. i understand the airport is now shut down. reporter: well, what they have done, wolf, they wanted to move people, not just into shelter, they wanted to get them out of town. the airport wasn t a way of doing it so they tried to get a lot of tourism buses and moved people to guadalajara. it gets them out of the main
is residential up in here. and it s residential over here and down here and so on, around we go. so that s a problem in the sense that if they get out into here, there are many places for them to hide in houses and garages. many places where they could be out here. but we ve noticed all day that they have remained focused very much on the central marshy area here. remember, this road right up here is where the officer was, somewhere up in here when he first responded to this. down in this area is where he ultimately was found after he had been killed. so what have we seen around this year? around the railroad tracks to see a long distance to see if anyone tries to across. also seen them in the middle working with helicopters, doing through that brush to see if anybody s hunkered down in there. and a big presence near all those businesses. in the end, anderson, again, we don t know what they know. but there has been so much emphasis on this area, as we continue to watch them head
year? around the railroad tracks to see a long distance to see if anyone tries to across. also seen them in the middle working with helicopters, doing through that brush to see if anybody s hunkered down in there. and a big presence near all those businesses. in the end, anderson, again, we don t know what they know. but there has been so much emphasis on this area, as we continue to watch them head toward night and the sun is just setting there just now, you ve got to believe the police have some reason to think that somehow these guys are still contained, by that water, by those houses. and i m reminded of after the boston bombing, remember when the younger tsarnaev brother tried to escape there, even though he was in a very big city with many, many places to go, when everybody started looking and the police set up those barriers, it was not so easy for him to get away. we have to hope that police have some idea that they really are still there hemmed in by the
than any of the other 22 candidates. they re picking the wrong target. let me ask you this on that point, right, part of it seems to me let s talk about the democratic primary. there is sort of a zero sum situation here, right? these folks are competing against each other in the primary. one of the things i found necessary o malley and sanders were disrupted, right. hillary clinton wasn t there. it end up creating somewhat perverse incentives to be as hunkered down as possible, right? if you got the secret service like the event in new hampshire, if you don t show up, maybe you could avoid it and then a day later come out with a perfectly good statement about black lives matter because you didn t have to deal with it in the moment. do you worry about that tactically creating the incentives in which the front-runner in this race, i think it s fair to say, ends up with this added benefit? let me say this. every single candidate in this upcoming election cycle is going to be pushed,
