>> using a detector is the way to go. it's colorless, tasteless, doesn't irritate. it could feel like the flu, headache, muscle ache, nausea, dizziness. but once it builds up to dangerous levels, mental confusion, vomiting, loss of muscle coordination and death. detecting it with a detecter is critical. once these things come on, it's often too late. if you get to the e.r. right away, they give you oxygen. it saves your life. >> is the detecter the primary thing? >> the detector is the way to go. but many times buildings put them on the ceiling. carbon monoxide is heavier than air. plug it in down low. that way it will detect as it starts to build up. by the time it reaches that level, it can be too late. >> useful information. dr. richard besser, we appreciate it. >> silent killer. thanks. turn to the other breaking story overnight, the capture of one of the most wanted criminals on the planet who headed the most powerful drug operation in the world. joaquin guzman known as el chapo has been captured, ending a 13-year long man hunt. they are responsible for the drugs entering the states. and chicago named him the first public enemy number one since al capone and he controlled most of the city's gangs. he was 67th on the most powerful people list, and his annual revenues exceeded $3 billion. pierre thomas is in washington with more on el chapo now in custody. a huge capture, pierre. >> yes, it was. a true mastermind and lethal. he's responsible for more dead americans than osama bin laden. the murderous criminal known as el chapo, or shorty, one of the most wanted men in the world, in handcuffs, surrounded by mexican para military officers. >> he is like the osama bin laden of drug trafficking. >> reporter: a kingpin so rich, he made the forbes magazine's billionaires list. a violent criminal so legendary -- ♪ he's been celebrated in mexico in music and video. ♪ guzman, the leader of the sinaloa drug cartel, finally back in custody after 13 years on the run since bribing his way out of prison. they are thought to be responsible for a quarter of the drugs entering the u.s., marijuana, cocaine, heroin. tens of thousands may have died because of him through overdoses and associated murders. u.s. officials have been chasing down leads and arresting associates along the way. they were able to narrow down husband location at an undisclosed residence in mexico. but he was able to escape the raid, leaving in an underground tunnel and using the staircase to evade police. but the trail stayed hot. but authorities discovered he was at that mexican hotel saturday morning. univision did a year-long look at his life. aired by our sister network, fusion. the direct impact on america, huge. he oversaw one of the cartels shipping hundreds of tons of drugs into the u.s. illegal smuggling by submarine, boat, tunnel, any means necessary. el chapo's arrest may allow his associates to step in. >> the organization can survive and continue the control and operations. >> reporter: the security for el chapo is likely to be extraordinary. last time he escaped prison in a laundry basket. bianna. >> after 13 years, behind bars. thank you. and from fusion, the chief reporter who covered him extensively. good morning, thank you for coming in. >> reporter: good morning. >> el chapo is thought to be responsible for the deaths of thousands in mexico, but also in the u.s. can you tell us about the americans he killed? >> when you see cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, all these dangerous drugs, it is highly probable that somehow directly or indirectly connected to el chapo. the city in chicago, 80% of the drugs in chicago have been sup plied by el chapo. and you have the latin kings and the gangster disciples, both responsible for numerous deaths and have their drugs provided by el chapo. that's why he's the osama bin laden of the drug trade. >> what does his arrest mean to the drug trade in chicago? >> the other cartels are going to try to take the routes into the united states away from the sinaloa cartel. however, it is believed to have been run by two of the commanders in zambada and elazul without direct input from el chapo. with el chapo, you never know. he was able to escape from prison about 13 years ago, and you never know what's going to happen next with him. >> and obviously with him jailed, there's a power struggle. who are the names you are looking at now?
