strait of hormuz. it s a choke point, and as american officials have been warning privately and publicly, a serious flash point. what about if they decide to block us off at the straits of hormuz. we have made it clear that the united states will not tolerate the blocking of the straits of hormuz. we will respond to that. the question tonight is, what will iran do next? what happens then? what s being done right now to head it off. barbara starr is here, and on the phone, curt lithal, former commander of the u.s.s. cole. what do you believe to be the intent of the iranians. were they trying to bait the u.s. military, provoke an altercation? maybe just a little bit of both, anderson. the thinking is that the iranians were not looking for a shooting match. they were going to break off, but they were going to cause a little heart-stopping action before they did that. one of the things here is look, the iranians gained intelligence by getting so close to u.s. navy ships.
particularly in the nfl. i turn my attention to high school players and what concussions can do to their young brains. i met a family who lost their son playing a game he loved. they made the remarkable decision to donate his brain. what scientists are learning from his brain is stunning. number 44, senior nathan styles is a spring hill broncos star runningback. if you watch him run, he had a flow about him that was just beautiful. i mean it looked so graceful. he s a starter on the varsity basketball team, a singer. the 2010 homecoming king is nathan styles. the broncos lost that game. the next day, nathan had headaches. no big deal until five days later when his mom receive add phone call. i got a call from the trainer at school sayi ining nathan is telling me he is still having headaches. you need to take him to the emergency room. i did. had a cat scan, nothing. he was out of play for a week. when he was ready to return, his mom was worried. he said mom, a
abandoning ship related charges. in these new pictures you actually see people in life jackets standing inside of the ship. the ship hit a sandbar or perhaps some rock and then it listed and eventually tipped right over into the water. at least three people are confirmed dead. many remain missing at this hour. here is how one survivor described the ordeal. the boat tipped like he was turning, but it didn t re-turn to level on the other side of the ship which was the high side at this point. the life boats got stuck and there were people hanging well in the life boats safely but hanging in mid air for a long time. children crying and screaming and people actually jumping. we heard that passengers jumped not passengers, but crew members jumped at the end into the water. reporter barbie nado is following the story from the port where the survivors have been taken and where the search is being coordinated. barbie, what more can you tell us about the captain allegedly aban
