morning or mid-morning, the pentagon is very busy. it s impossible to say how many casualties there may be. but a large number of people cited being removed on stretchers. again, as one survivor said, the floor just buckled up under him and the roof caved in on him. all right, mick, thank you very much. we re going to move a couple miles away from you to the white house where bob kerr is standing by. bob, we understand that building has now been evacuated? that s true, it is utterly surreal. as soon as word came of the pentagon incident, we were rather forcefully removed from the white house. the scene was one of administrators, crooks, whatever running at fairly high speed out of the building. then we huddled for a while at lafayette parka cross the
let me show you what they had on sale. thousands of what they call fire tv sticks. they sold 10,000 of them by the time they were barely open by mid-morning. lord of the rings trilogy, they sold 35,000 of those. and rubber-maid products. 28,000 of those products. i know you re familiar with the amazon echo. that s kind of a gimmicky but fun product they re selling. they sold 4,000 of those by mid-morning. now, walmart was not far behind, i have to tell you. they also introduced thousands of rollbacks as you re seeing right there. and then other bricks-and-mortar stores got on the bandwagon offering free shipping to compete with what was going on. not everybody was a fan. some folks said they didn t like it. that for example they thought amazon didn t have enough product out to sell. one of them said in a tweet, prime day is not black friday in july it s april fool s day in july. but i have to tell you, stuart the numbers, you can t argue
