About this episode

The episode covers a hantavirus outbreak linked to a cruise ship, a wild dog attack on a mother, tornadoes in Mississippi, and a heated mayoral debate in Los Angeles.

Is this ground zero for the hantavirus that killed three people on a cruise ship? It's a landfill in a seaside city in Argentina known as the end of the world, one of the most scenic places to bird watch. The ship made a stop there before the outbreak. Les Trent has more as fear of the virus spreading grows. And a mom went for a walk in her neighborhood when a pack of wild dogs surrounded her. She screams for help, but the strays go on the attack leaving her with up to 200 bites all over her body. Steven Fabian spoke with the woman's daughter who still can't believe what happened. Plus, powerful storms, including at least three tornadoes, ripped through Mississippi overnight, and this storm chaser is lucky he's ok. He was driving in the bad weather when lightning hit his car. Alison Hall spoke to him about his big scare. And a fiery debate last night in Los Angeles as the top contenders in the mayoral race went head-to-head. One is a reality TV star who's raising eyebrows with an AI generated Batman themed campaign ad showing high profile politicians being attacked.
