If you're going to die, you don't want to die alone.

Over the years, I've reported on people whose lives were changed forever in a single moment. Actors.

Everything was collapsed in my lung, and I had like no way to get air. It was like this breath, it was like it was just everything.

And ordinary people suddenly pulled into a nightmare. Essentially, if your photo is on the internet, it could happen to you.

A moment that arrives without warning. I heard a giant, enormous boom and blast.

SPEAKER_2 (0:50)

I didn't know if I was alive or dead.

Lester Holt (0:52)

We know the headlines, but what I've always been curious about is what happens after. That's when the rest of the story begins.

SPEAKER_2 (1:03)

We have people try to send bombs to our house. I got to get back to my family.

And what does it take to move on?

SPEAKER_2 (1:15)

I wanted to turn my life into something a little bit more meaningful.

With no fees or minimums on checking accounts, it's no wonder the Capital One bank guy is so passionate about banking with Capital One.

If he were here, he wouldn't just tell you about no fees or minimums. He'd also talk about how Capital One cafes are open seven days a week to assist with your banking needs. Yep, even on weekends. It's pretty much all he talks about. In a good way.
