expectations. >> to be clear, november 30th does not represent a relaunch of healthcare.gov. it is not a magical date. >> reporter: the spokeswoman admits there will be times after november 30th that

screaming. >> [ bleep ]! >> reporter: the swearing. let the fists fly. retailers call it the super bowl of shopping, or black friday. but scenes like these that flood the internet give the bargain battle a black eye. this ugly clash at a los angeles wal-mart two years ago was captured by juan castro. >> all the people just went in there and just started destroying the boxes. >> reporter: all this for marked-down xbox games. >> people were fighting, and that's when some lady started going at it. >> reporter: was that moment a turning point for wal-mart? >> certainly. i think we could do a better job at managing crowds and helping customers get into the store, find the item they're looking for and get out. we learned a lot. >> reporter: wal-mart says this time it's a calmer black friday. orderly lines. shoppers will get wristbands and rain checks. >> it took 40 second, then all the people go crazy. >> reporter: so predictably wild that this dad brought his kids to wal-mart to witness the mayhem firsthand. >> that's something about black friday. your integrity. >> reporter: these cousins don't care. in fact, they thrive on it every year, using shopping apps and meticulous planning. >> eight hours of shopping? >> it was all night. >> reporter: seriously, all night. >> and it was worth it? >> uh-huh. >> reporter: she spent $960, half of her budget, enough to make her want to dance. >> the jig had to happen, and i would do it again if i got a daily like that. >> reporter: not a laughing matter to victoria caruso who has seen enough videos of the fighting and doesn't want any of it, even if it's a pillow fight. >> to them it's a sport. lacrosse is a sport. black friday is not a sport. >> reporter: she shops all on- line. she gives up some of the deals but savors her serenity. >> the savings aren't worth the bail money. >> reporter: juan castro avoids a retailer on black friday but still can't resist a short outing. >> maybe some football gear would do me good. >> reporter: that may be good advice, because for shoppers like these, it's game on. welcome back. time now 9:30. a developing story out of san jose where overnight a body was found inside a freeway. now, not on a freeway but inside. will tran tells us how the person might have gotten inside the roadway. >> reporter: that's highway 87 in downtown san jose. these overpasses are actually hollow. authorities believe that a possible homeless person broke a lock to a door or latch and climbed inside. those doors are important to caltrans because those workers go inside for inspections. in fact, they say it was a homeless person who tipped off the authorities to come here at around 1:00 in the morning. it appears that this body had been inside for quite some time because initially they couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman. reporting from san jose, will tran, kron 4 news. our stanley roberts recently went along with the highway patrol as they inspected those freeway caves and was surprised at what he found inside. >> highway patrol. come on down. >> reporter: the california highway patrol has to deal with more than just traffic enforcement. >> i just saw you go in there. come on down. >> reporter: they have to deal with this, too. people who have made the inside of the 280 freeway their homes. in this case, they are removing the people inside. >> who else is up there with you? >> reporter: usually the answer is no one. except this time caltrans brought something just to make sure. it's a remote camera that's designed to look inside the freeway caves and any possible boob bee trips. this is a power strip that appears to be connected to a power source. inside the caves they have found fully functioning air conditioning units, play station consoles, latch tops and flat screen televisions. in many of the cases the people living inside had vandalized the electrical wiring to get electricity, all attacks payer expense. oh, and did i mention that the space inside these caves are only three or four feet high. these holes were created by engineers for highway inspections. the csp cleared out these holes the day before. as soon as they leave, people return. >> you need to get out right now. >> reporter: so to keep from playing this cat-and-mouse game, engineers have a plan to sale them up permanentlily. but here's the problem. there are literally hundreds of these caves, so this location is a sort of a test spot. engineers need to make sure they don't accidentally seal someone inside the freeway when they finally close the holes. in san francisco, stanley roberts, kron 4 news. >> time now 9:33. hopefully that turkey is in the oven. to take a look at your holiday forecast here is erica. good morning. >> good morning. happy

they actually started at the beginning of the month when they had a cook-off. let's show you video from thanksgiving breakfast. they have done that. they are now on to thanksgiving dinner. that started about 30 minutes ago. but pretty much the plate is very similar except that in the breakfast a lot of people wanted ham and, of course, for dinnary lot of people want turkey. so that's why right now both tables back here are just carving away turkeys. it's always fun to talk to a newbie. pete this is your first time volunteering, right? >> first time. >> reporter: what got you out here?
