Maybe its an abyss that we cant bear to make real by giving it a name. Itself lacks definition. What could be next for them . What could be worthwhile . A little over four years ago, we met mothers and fathers who sent their first graders to school one bright morning and have endured the twilight ever since. When we returned to newtown, connecticut, this past spring, we found those families will never move on, but they are finding ways to move forward. Newtown looks as it did the day before that day. The name is longoutdated; it was founded before the revolution, its flag pole raised after the civil war, and its town hall erected in the great depression. But, for those who know only the name, the history of newtown, connecticut begins on december 14, 2012, when a mentally ill man murdered 20 firstgraders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Ana grace was the daughter of nelba and jimmy greene. Have you found people who dont know you, after all these years, expecting you to get over what happened . Nelba greene you just took my breath away, because that happens a lot and it is so incredibly painful. Its like losing her all over again. Jimmy greene there have been those that have said things like, you know, so you guys are good now . Or i hope youve had some closure to your daughters murder. In the back of my heart, and i know in nelbas as well, its like our family will never be intact again. Our daughter, ana, was six years old. Pelley it was in that town hall, four months after the killing, that we first met the greenes and six other newtown families. Jimmy greene every day i cry because i miss her so much. Nicole hockley this is dylan. Pelley there was Nicole Hockley. Hockley i think the picture kind of sums him up perfectly. Sweet little daniel barden. Pelley mark and jackie barden. Mark barden daniel was a light of positive energy in our home. Francine wheeler ben was six years old. Pelley david and Francine Wheeler. Francine wheeler ben was smart and funny. David wheeler and our house is very quiet. Pelley David Wheeler filled that quiet with a shout to every parent. David wheeler i would like them to look in the mirror. And thats not a figure of speech, scott. I mean, literally, find a mirror in your house and look in it, and look in your eyes and say, this will never happen to me. Its going to happen again. It is going to happen again. And every time, you know, its somebody elses school, its somebody elses town, its somebody elses community. Until one day, you wake up and its not. Pelley that week, several of the families convinced the Connecticut Legislature to pass universal background checks and to limit the size of ammunition magazines. Then, they marched on washington to support a more modest proposal just closing the loopholes so that all purchases require a background check. Nicole hockley i stand before you now and ask you to stand with me. Pelley polls showed most americans stood with them, and so did the president. Neil heslin jesse was brutally murdered. Pelley they needed 60 votes in the senate. Joe biden the yeas are 54 and the nays are 46. Pelley but not even they could win a gun fight on capitol hill. Hockley when it was clear that they had lost, it was like all the air went out of your body in one quick swoosh. Because that gutwrenching defeat, how could how could this have just happened . Pelley wasnt there a sense after that vote of, okay, we tried. Im going home. . Hockley no mark barden not for me. Hockley never. Why would we do that . That thats not honoring our children. There is a saying, you know, fall nine times, get up ten. Well just keep getting up. Pelley so Nicole Hockley and mark barden founded Sandy Hook Promise, to train teachers and students how to prevent violence. It was a revelation for hockley after the f. B. I. Told the families that the gunman had been on a predictable path. Hockley and i remember asking the question, well, if you know these things about shooters, if you know that these signs and signals are given off, how come we dont know . And the director said, we just dont have the resources to train everyone in the country. We train law enforcement. We train other people. But we cant do it out to the mass public. And for me, that was the moment that i said, well, if you cant, we can. Well, good morning everyone. Pelley hockley spends half the year on the schools, telling teachers and students how to spot the signs of social isolation. Hockley its these tiny actions that we can each take, that you all have the power to do, that are going to change someone elses life. Pelley one program, called start with hello, trains students to connect with their peers who are ignored or bullied. Mark barden it means so much to us that youre here and youre doing this. Pelley another is Say Something, which encourages kids to speak up. Hockley listen to the program. Pelley students are taught to watch for sudden changes in their classmates, a fascination with suicide or death or guns; changes in dress; or threats on social media. In 2015, mark barden trained students in cincinnati, and shortly thereafter, a middle School Student made a bomb threat. Hockley and it was overheard by another student who had been trained in our Say Something program. Mark barden this eighth Grade Student said, i wouldnt saw on social media until i had your training, and i said, this is exactly what theyre talking about. it gives me goose bumps just to think about it. Hockley i know. Pelley Sandy Hook Promise says it has trained more than a Million Students and teachers, but it has had more reach on the internet. This video, called evan, shows two students making a connection, but harder to spot in the background is whats happening to a troubled young man. If this program had been in place at sandy hook elementary if this program had been in place at Sandy Hook Elementary School the day before, do you think it hockley you read my mind. Sandy hook was preventable. And had someone been able to see those signs and signals that our shooter gave off throughout his life, and connect those dots, and make an intervention, i wouldnt be sitting here talking to you today. Pelley a parent who has lost a child has one fear left the end of remembering. And so many of the families have created projects that introduce their child to new people. Ben wheeler now lives in the work of bens lighthouse. His mother, francine, creates Service Projects for newtown kids. Francine wheeler what a wonderful way to honor him and continue to be his parents. Pelley continue to be his parents . Francine wheeler yeah. I cant live the rest of my life not talking about him. I mean, imagine you having a sixyearold, and then you dont anymore. Are you going to stop talking about them . The worst thing you can do to a grieving parent is not to mention the child. Then youre not acknowledging his existence. And so when people do acknowledge it, im so appreciative. I say, oh, thank you for and even cry. Im like, no, you didnt make me cry. You brought him back. David wheeler its like having him back for a minute. Francine wheeler yeah. Pelley the wheelers wanted another child, a sibling for their oldest, and almost two years after ben was killed, Matthew Bennett wheeler was born. David wheeler you try to make the world into the place you want it to be, and many times the only area you have any control over is the Square Footage of your own house. And so, you do what you can. Pelley David Wheeler is a songwriter and recently, at a vigil against gun violence, francine sang, leave a light on. You know im going to leave Francine Wheeler you know i will leave a light on. Because you always look for your home after this kind of craziness that happens to you. Where is your home . And he leaves that lightso that i can have a home in my heart for him. Pelley at that vigil, we met hannah davino. Her sister rachel was a therapist in ben wheelers class. Hannah davino she died standing her ground between evil and innocence. Pelley growing up, her big sister had been the strong one in a troubled home, and so davino says she lives today in purgatory not quite the present. Davino a lot of it is because i feel guilty for being alive and happy when my sisters dead. Pelley rachel was your stability. Davino yes, she was. She really was. Pelley you know, i wonder, when you hear of the next shooting, how does that affect you . Davino i go back to my day one. I go back to 12 14, not knowing where my sister was, looking for her. And you see people getting that reuniting hug, and that breaks my heart, because i wish i got that hug. And then you see the people that are really distraught, because theyre in this club now. Pelley nicole, how would you describe the change in yourself . Hockley you couldnt be any more different from the confident, optimistic, happygo lucky type person i was beforehand. Pelley you have poured yourself into this so completely. Hockley yes. Pelley have you given yourself time to grieve . Hockley no. No. Im working on that right now. This is kind of my year, that im feeling is, its time, you know, to start finding myself again. But also to accept that no matter what i do, i cant get dylan back. Pelley jimmy greene summons his daughters memory through his music. His album about ana grace was nominated for two grammys. Nelba greene i do think this is how we reach kids. Pelley Nelba Marquez greene is a therapist, and she has started the ana grace project to educate teachers about mental health. You mentioned your faith and i wonder how your faith may have changed in all of this . Nelba greene one of the most compelling sermons ive ever heard was given at my daughters funeral. It was just a beautiful sermon. It talks about jesus being with us in every season of our lives, includinth anas death would signify the beginning of a long and hard winter season. And that winter would be made better with faith and family and friends. And i still feel that way. I really do. Pelley is it springtime yet . Nelba greene i cant imagine a day that it will be spring. The moment im reunited with her, i want to hear two things, i want to hear, well done, my good and faithful servant.

Cooper during the last major outbreak of the ebola virus in 2014, more than 500 Health Care Workers died of the disease, and something called personal protective equipment became essential to preventing the deaths of even more. Were talking about gowns, gloves, masks and other gear designed to block the transmission of deadly bacteria and viruses. Theyre used every day in hospitals to protect doctors, nurses, and patients. But ebola was so lethal, it raised the stakes enormously. If the protective equipment fails, infectious bodily fluids can get through a problem known as strikethrough. At the height of the Ebola Outbreak, we received a tip that a major american manufacturer had knowingly provided defective protective equipment to Health Care Workers in the u. S. And abroad. Its a serious accusation that had never been publicly examined until we first broadcast this story last year. ambulance siren if theres one thing that became evident during the Ebola Outbreak of 2014, its that personal protective equipment, properly used, could mean the difference between life and death. You probably remember the tragic images from west africa, and the workers in biohazard suits trying to help without getting infected themselves. May you help us to be a blessing to our patients. Cooper certain types of gowns were also used during the outbreak. The nurses at this hospital in liberia used gowns and fullbody suits to protect themselves after two of their top doctors died of the disease. Every day in the u. S. , doctors and nurses rely on some of the same gowns the centers for Disease Control recommended for ebola. One of them is the microcool surgical gown, made by Halyard Health, which sells about 13 million gowns a year worldwide, including a quarter of the u. S. Market. The microcool gown is supposed to provide the highest level of protection available against bloodborne bacteria and viruses. Its label says it meets a rigorous Industry Standard known as aami level four dr. Sherry wren alright, lets go cooper which means its impermeable, so that blood containing viruses like hepatitis and h. I. V. Wont get on surgeons skin during an operation. Theres just one problem. What was wrong with the level four gowns . Bernard vezeau they would leak. They would leak. When we pressure tested them, especially in the seams. Cooper Bernard Vezeau was the global Strategic Marketing director for microcool and other products from 2012 to early 2015. He worked for Halyard Health, which was part of the Kimberly Clark corporation until november 2014. When two nurses at a dallas hospital became infected after caring for a patient with ebola, vezeau says he was relieved the nurses hadnt been using microcool gowns, but he was concerned by the way the company went into high gear to sell the product.
