structure itself or an aftershock. so the survivability profile really starts to shrink after about 48 hours. and the risks to rescuers increase with every passing hour, really, and with every aftershock. how concerned are you, chuck, that this building, this school, might suffer additional collapse? you know, not knowing the construction of the structure initially, it s really kind of difficult to say. but once any structures, bones if you will, have been compromised, than anything really is possible. the structural integrity is gone and it s really just being held up by its broken pieces. so the potential for secondary collapse is very real. how does the weather factor into this? because my understanding is that it rained there last night. how could that impact the rescue
the clock here in terms of the bad weather coming later today? we re working against the clock all the time, both for the survivability profile, and the forecast for the bad weather. so, yeah, we re always under the gun for that. we had to shelter our folks a few times yesterday, just based on the lightning strikes and the hail and rain and that sort of stuff, just makes it impossible to move around and do it safely. reporter: time is running out, and there s still so much to do. doug westhoff is trying to be optimistic. if the space is right, if the void is big enough, these people people can last many days like this. so we re two to three days into this thing and we re sort of the eternal optimists out here, anderson. we re going to maintain hope as long as we can. the reality is always creeping in the back of your brain, that this is becoming less and less likely a rescue and more and more likely recovery, but that s the reality of the world we live in. reporter: by the en
oh, we ve got lightning. we need to go back. let s turn around. oh, it s getting big, big, big. that s huge! for those who survived, the scars will always be them. nearly two dozen people, including three young men, took cover in a convenience store in a walk-in beer cooler. one turned on his camera as the tornado struck. the video is dark, but the sound tells a story. oh! [ wind blowing ] oh, my god! jesus, jesus! imagine pushing open the door after that incredible experience. elsewhere in joplin, one couple recorded the scene in their neighborhood moments after the tornado struck. destruction all around them, homes on fire. they called out for the young man s sister and her fiance. sarah! sarah! mike! of course, there s no end to the heartbreak, but no end to hope either. we met tracy pressler and her niece, sarah norton. they were looking for sarah s brother, will, who was driving home from his graduation with his dad and was sucked out of the sunroof w
if they were huddled near the front, that would have been the most dangerous spot for them. unfortunately, yes. that s where the walls came down. they ve used heavy equipment to drill through the collapsed walls and neck underneath, then push them out of the way. this is a wall of the home depot? sure. and it fell? what you ve got is a piece of concrete. this is all insulation? absolutely. the walls may have collapsed, but oddly the tornado left many of the store shelves still standing. this was a much more survivable environment here than it would have been to be at the front of the store where those huge concrete falls came down on folks. have you already been through this area? yeah. we were able to probe in from different places. with so much heavy equipment needed, the search is sometimes frustratingly slow. how much are you working against the clock in terms of bad weather coming later today? we re working against the clock both for the survivability
