WEBVTT 00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:13.350 What's up sunshine? Koi wire here with 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:15.110 your daily 10 minutes of news where we 00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:16.550 simply tell you the what, letting you 00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:18.790 decide what to think. Today we have a 00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.790 toxic chemical tank in Southern 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.870 California that has officials racing 00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:25.109 against the clock. Then I sit down with 00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:27.029 legendary swimmer Michael Phelps for a 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.029 heartfelt chat this mental health 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.189 awareness month. And later we're headed 00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:32.950 deep into the heart of Texas where 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:34.950 nearly 300 rescued pigs are something 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.229 you have to see. CNN 10 starts now. We 00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:40.150 do begin in Southern California where 00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:41.830 crews are scrambling to prevent an 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.670 overheating chemical tank from 00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:45.670 triggering a disaster movie level 00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:47.910 nightmare. Emergency officials say 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.229 soaring temperatures inside the tank 00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:51.910 could cause a dangerous rupture, 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.590 releasing thousands of gallons of 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.189 methylmethylryate, 00:00:55.199 --> 00:00:57.750 a toxic industrial chemical, into the 00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:00.150 air. More than 50,000 people have now 00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:02.229 been ordered to evacuate parts of Orange 00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:04.469 County. Our Veronica Miracle has more on 00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:06.310 the effort to prevent a potentially 00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:09.510 catastrophic explosion. Hi, Veronica. 00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:11.590 >> Ky, we finally got some good news. After 00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:13.190 authorities were working around the 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.070 clock all night, they found that a crack 00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:18.630 inside of this pressurized tank has been 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.789 releasing pressure. And what that means 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.070 is that a massive explosion is off the 00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:26.230 table. That is the good news. Now, the 00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:29.030 threat is still not over because this 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.749 tank has a very toxic chemical inside 00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:34.469 known as MMA, and that could still 00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:36.710 explode. A smaller explosion, but it 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:38.390 could still happen. Right now, they're 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.870 trying to mitigate the risk and see what 00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:43.190 exactly is happening inside the tank. 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:44.870 They believe that it's possible that the 00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:47.429 chemical could be solidifying, which is 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.109 also good news because the temperature 00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:51.749 inside the tank is going down. At last 00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:54.310 check, it was about 93° where they 00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:57.749 really wanted it as is at 85°. So, 00:01:57.759 --> 00:01:59.190 authorities are going to continue to 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.910 monitor this. Evacuations have not yet 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.630 decreased. 50,000 people are still under 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.670 evacuation orders and so there is still 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.630 risk to life and property here in case 00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:12.150 anything happens and they want to make 00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:14.229 sure that everything is safe before they 00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:16.550 let people come back to their homes. So 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:17.990 many people have been affected this 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.510 Memorial Day weekend. They've been 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.150 forced out of their homes and forced to 00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:24.550 go into hotels and evacuation centers, 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:25.750 but authorities say they're going to be 00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:27.430 giving us an update soon and they hope 00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:29.910 to let people back home as soon as it is 00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:32.869 safe. Back to you, Coy. The racing world 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.910 is grieving NASCAR icon Kyle Bush. Bush 00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:38.150 died suddenly last week at just 41 years 00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:40.470 old. Severe pneumonia progressed into 00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:42.949 sepsis, a bodywide response to infection 00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:45.270 that can cause serious, often fatal 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.910 organ and tissue damage. Across 22 00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:50.070 seasons, Bush racked up more wins across 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.630 NASCAR's top three series than anyone 00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:54.550 ever. He was scheduled to race in the 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.430 Coca-Cola 600 last weekend, but the race 00:02:57.440 --> 00:02:59.589 transformed into a memorial service with 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:03.030 nearly 95,000 fans saying bye to one of 00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:04.949 the fiercest competitors the sport has 00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:07.030 known. Before the race, his family laid 00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:08.949 flowers on his number eight in the 00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:11.030 infield. His team announced his number 00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:13.350 would be retired until his son Brexton 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.070 is old enough to chase the family legacy 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.869 himself. 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.949 Pop quiz hot shot. What swimming stroke 00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:22.869 is Olympian Michael Phelps especially 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.430 known for? Butterfly, freestyle, 00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:31.509 backstroke, or side stroke? 00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:33.350 If you said butterfly, spread your 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.750 wings. Phelps has won 11 Olympic medals 00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:38.470 in butterfly, nine of them gold. With 23 00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:40.710 golds overall, he's the most decorated 00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:43.589 Olympian of all time. 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.190 When people think of Michael Phelps, 00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:47.430 they think gold medals, world records, 00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:48.949 and dominance in the pool unlike 00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:50.710 anything swimming has ever seen. But 00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:52.789 behind the smiles and medals was a man 00:03:52.799 --> 00:03:55.270 silently battling anxiety and severe 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.110 depression. Now during mental health 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.110 awareness month, the 23 time Olympic 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.869 gold medalist is speaking out with 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.350 remarkable honesty, hoping his story 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.509 helps others feel less alone. Here's 00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:08.149 part of my conversation with the GOAT. 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.070 You've won more gold medals than anyone 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.070 in Olympic history, but you've also said 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:13.589 that some of your toughest battles 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.589 happened far away from the pool. When 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.349 you look back now, what do you wish 00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:19.430 younger Michael understood about mental 00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:19.909 health? 00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:21.909 >> You know, I love getting that question 00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:24.870 and it hasn't changed and and it's 00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:27.510 nothing because I think what I've gone 00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:30.070 through myself personally has allowed me 00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:33.189 to learn more about who I am as a human. 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.270 Um, and and yeah, has that been 00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:37.030 challenging at times and uncomfortable 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:38.950 at times? Of course. But, you know, 00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:40.790 again, like for me, I I'm more 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.430 comfortable being my authentic self and 00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:45.189 living my life how I want to live. 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.950 >> Was there a specific moment where you 00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:49.350 realized if I speak up, maybe I can help 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:50.710 other people do the same? 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.350 >> Um, I honestly think it's it's really 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:54.950 when I got to that point of not wanting 00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:57.270 to be alive. Um, you know, for me, I 00:04:57.280 --> 00:04:58.950 think once I got to that point, I was 00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:01.189 like, okay, something is wrong. I need 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:02.790 to ask for help. And that was the first 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.790 time that I ever asked for help. Um 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.350 because I I just didn't know what to do. 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.590 Uh so I got help and then I think at 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.550 that point um for me just being able to 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.629 find that kind of ground to stand on and 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.390 be okay sharing the stories that I talk 00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:18.950 about um because you know being able to 00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:21.350 see my Olympic brothers and sisters, 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.189 they were going through the same thing. 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.270 >> Mental health awareness month, your 00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:27.029 foundation is doing such incredible 00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:29.270 work. So when you see the lives you're 00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:32.070 impacting, how does that compare to all 00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:33.749 the medals in the record books? 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.270 >> One in every three high schoolers 00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:36.629 reported that their mental health was 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.189 not good for the most part, right? So at 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.270 that point, what are we doing more for 00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:43.909 that? How can we offer more things? And 00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:45.670 for me, when I look at where our 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.590 foundation started to where it is now, 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.230 right, we started back in 2008 where it 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.070 was strictly just a learn uh learn to 00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:55.029 swim. Um, I got a million dollars from a 00:05:55.039 --> 00:05:57.430 bonus from a an old sponsor and I 00:05:57.440 --> 00:05:59.270 instantly put it into starting that. 00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:01.510 Gradually over time, we developed a 00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:02.629 mental health component. 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.710 >> I'm a dad of four boys and yes, I still 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.510 am who I am. Water safety is very 00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:08.950 important in the Phelps household. 00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:11.590 >> And for me, it's really cool to say that 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.990 we're one of three foundations out there 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.110 that combined water safety and mental 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.830 health. And for me, you know, when I go 00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:22.230 back to what I went through as a kid, 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.830 right? and what I'm going through now in 00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:26.629 therapy, you know, I'm learning that 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.790 water safety and mental mental health, 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.430 they really are handinand. Like for me, 00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:33.749 if I'm in a bad space and therapy 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.430 doesn't help and my checklist doesn't 00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:37.189 help, I can literally just jump in the 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.430 swimming pool and swim for 500 yards. 00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:41.029 And for those who don't know, that's 00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:43.189 like a 40th of what I would do for a 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.150 practice and that would make me feel 10 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.390 times better, right? So, it's some of 00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:50.870 these small things. I truly think by 00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:53.590 body mind awareness there's so much 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.909 connection um and it's so powerful that 00:06:55.919 --> 00:06:58.790 May is is uh water safety month and 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.350 mental health awareness month um but for 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.270 me again it's it's just trying to spread 00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:05.189 this message u you know this is 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:06.790 something obviously it's very passionate 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.070 for me um we're trying to empower lives 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:12.309 in and out of the water and if we can do 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.749 that for me I'm winning right that's way 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.909 way better than winning a gold medal 00:07:17.919 --> 00:07:19.990 >> this last one rapid rapid fire inside 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.749 the mind of Michael Phelps. Most 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.469 ridiculous superstition that you had 00:07:24.479 --> 00:07:25.830 before races. 00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:27.350 >> Nothing. I guess the only thing that I 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.990 did that that people thought I was doing 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.150 on purpose to kind of mess with them was 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.390 my arm slap. That was something I did as 00:07:34.400 --> 00:07:35.830 an 11-year-old kid, 8, you know, 00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:37.110 10-year-old kid throughout my whole 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.189 entire career. It was just a way for me 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.350 to kind of get loose. And there were 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.110 people that thought I was doing it to 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.110 try to play mind games on them, but no, 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.749 I'm not I'm not like that. What is uh 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:49.110 harder workout, training for the 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.710 Olympics or chasing your kids around the 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:51.350 house? 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.070 >> Any kind of sports games in the 00:07:54.080 --> 00:07:57.270 backyard? Because multiple soccer or 00:07:57.280 --> 00:08:00.869 football, I've been down and out for 3 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.110 or 4 days. It does happen.
