corker calls trump untruthful

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The exchange between the two men escalates a public feud that has highlighted divisions between Trump and several Republicans on Capitol Hill who are critical to passing his agenda.

"Bob Corker, who helped President O give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn't get elected dog catcher in Tennessee, is now fighting Tax Cuts....," Trump tweeted. "...Corker dropped out of the race in Tennessee when I refused to endorse him, and now is only negative on anything Trump. Look at his record!"

Corker soon responded on Twitter: "Same untruths from an utterly untruthful president. #AlertTheDaycareStaff."

Trump has previously claimed Corker sought his endorsement, which Corker's office has denied, and the "day care" comment refers to criticism the Tennessee senator levied at Trump earlier in the month.

Corker had criticized Trump during appearances on several television shows Tuesday morning ahead of the President's day on Capitol Hill.

On NBC, Corker called Trump's effort to court senators over the White House's tax reform proposal "a photo-op." And speaking to ABC, he suggested that the President butt out of the process.

"(I)f you start taking things off the table before you get started you make that very difficult. So what I hope is going to happen is the President will leave this effort, if you will, to the tax writing committees and let them do their work and not begin taking things off the table that ought to be debated in the committees at the proper time," he said on "Good Morning America."

When asked if the President is a national security threat, Corker told NBC that he needs to be contained by members of his Cabinet.

"I think there are people around him that work in an effort to contain him. That would be (Secretary of Defense James Mattis) and (Secretary of State Rex Tillerson) and (White House chief of staff John Kelly)," he said.

Both Trump and Corker -- who was once in consideration to become Trump's secretary of state -- have publicly bickered following the Tennessee senator's announcement earlier this month that he would not be seeking a third term in the Senate.

Trump attacked Corker via Twitter at the time, saying he denied the senator's request for an endorsement -- a claim denied by Corker's office. In response, Corker said, "It's a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning."

In remarks to a New York Times story published a short time later, Corker said Trump was treating the presidency like "a reality show," making reckless threats against other countries that put the United States "on the path to World War III."

LINCOLN COUNTY, Okla. - Investigators took a 13-year-old boy into custody after he allegedly fired a crossbow arrow that killed a 10-year-old boy and injured the victim's younger brother.

Deputies were called to a Lincoln County home around 6 p.m. Saturday after getting a call reporting two young boys being shot with a crossbow. The shooting happened at a parking lot where neighborhood children often play in a treehouse.

Officials found Austin Almanza, 10, dead at the scene, and his brother, Ayden Almanza, injured by the crossbow. The broad head arrow, which passed through the lower left side of Almanza's torso, was still in the 8-year-old's arm when they arrived on the scene, according to KFOR.

Officials said a 13-year-old friend of the victims fired the crossbow, first striking the 10-year-old. The 8-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital where he was treated and released. He's now at home and is expected to make a complete recovery, according to the sheriff's office.

"All three of these kids are friends, they play together," said Sheriff Charles Dougherty, who said the initial investigation found that "there was a disagreement amongst the three prior to the shooting."

The 13-year-old boy is in custody and is being held at a juvenile detention center outside of the county, officials said. At this time, authorities are not identifying the suspect because of his age.

Officials said they are investigating the 10-year-old's death as a homicide.
A YouCaring page has been set up to help the family with funeral expenses.
No other information has been released at this time.

What Cassini learned about Saturn during its death dive

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After launching in 1997 and reaching the Saturn system in 2004, Cassini spent 13 years exploring the planet and its moons. The data and images led to numerous discoveries that changed how scientists think about our solar system.

Astronomers have been able to answer some major questions and solve some puzzles about Saturn after studying the final Cassini data. Here's what they found.

What's in the Saturn's atmosphere?

When Cassini plunged into Saturn, it was with purpose. After 13 years spent exploring the ringed planet and its moons, Cassini attempted its closest look as a final act before burning up in the atmosphere.

When Cassini sank into Saturn's upper atmosphere, it was the closest a spacecraft had ever been to the planet. The last few seconds of the Cassini mission provided the "first taste" of the atmosphere of Saturn, NASA said.

For about a minute, Cassini was able to transmit new data about the planet's composition while its antenna remained pointed toward Earth, with an assist from small thrusters. Then, the spacecraft disintegrated due to the heat and high pressure of the hostile atmosphere.

During the final plunge, the Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometeracted as the "nose" of the spacecraft, directly sampling the composition and structure of the atmosphere. It's something that can't be done from orbit, said Hunter Waite, team lead for the spectrometer.

This was in the hopes of investigating the "ring rain" phenomenon discovered by NASA's Voyager mission in the early 1980s, in which it appeared that the rings were raining material onto the planet and causing changes in the atmosphere. The spectrometer could determine what material is from the rings and what is part of the atmosphere.

According to the spectrometer team, Cassini's nose hit the "jackpot" as it sniffed (out) the area between the planet and its rings. This is key because Saturn's upper atmosphere extends almost to the rings.

For the first time, scientists have direct measurements and evidence that molecules from Saturn's rings are raining down on the planet's atmosphere. Though the rings are largely composed of water, the researchers were surprised to see detections of methane -- not something they expected to find in the rings or the upper atmosphere.

An analysis of the data taken at the lowest altitude is ongoing.

What keeps Saturn's rings in place?

A key motivation for the Cassini mission was investigating the planets' rings. Models have shown that the rings would spread out and disappear without some kind of force holding them in place.

To help solve these mysteries, Cassini gathered observations of waves in the rings, resembling grooves in a record.

Those waves were evidence of moon resonances: the gravity of Saturn's small moons slowing the movement of the rings and obstructing their momentum.

For three decades, astronomers thought that Saturn's moon Janus was keeping the outer A ring at bay. But there were hundreds of waves generated by different sources, causing such a gravitational slowdown that they effectively create the edge of the ring.

The moons Pan, Atlas, Prometheus, Pandora, Epimetheus Mimas and Janus share the effort, confining the ring. Cassini's measurements of the moons' masses helped confirm it.

"That's the novelty of this idea. No one imagined that rings were held by shared responsibility," said Radwan Tajeddine, a research associate in astronomy at Cornell University and lead author of the rings study.

'Toxic hybrid ice' cloud on Titan

The more astronomers learn about Saturn's largest moon, Titan, the weirder it gets.

Larger than both our own moon and the planet Mercury, Titan is unique in our solar system. It is the only moon with clouds and a dense atmosphere of nitrogen and methane, giving it a fuzzy orange appearance.

Titan also has Earth-like liquid bodies on its surface, but the rivers, lakes and seas are made of liquid ethane and methane, which form clouds and cause liquid gas to rain from the sky. The surface temperature is so cold -- minus 290 degrees Fahrenheit -- that the rivers and lakes were carved out by methane, the way rocks and lava helped to form features and channels on Earth.

This year, researchers detected vinyl cyanide, a complex organic molecule capable of forming cell membrane-like spheres that may lead to life.

Now, Cassini data have revealed a wispy toxic ice cloud over the moon's south pole. It's another contributor to Titan's complex chemistry, high above the methane rain clouds. This ice cloud is a hybrid of hydrogen cyanide and benzene, which condensed together.

Cassini found evidence of this at the north pole early in the mission. It's fitting that this discovery at the south pole would happen at the end of the 13-year mission, enabling the researchers to see such changes over time.

Over the years, Cassini data and observations revealed that although seemingly inhospitable to us, the moons Enceladus and Titan could be habitable for some form of life. And NASA didn't want to risk contaminating the moons or any future studies of them with Earth particles. Although Cassini has been in space for 20 years, microbes from Earth could still exist on the spacecraft without air, water or protection from radiation.

Mission scientists and operators gave Cassini this fiery send-off on purpose. Although many other options were considered -- such as "parking" the spacecraft in orbit -- they didn't want to risk Cassini colliding with any of Saturn's moons.

The data provided by Cassini are fueling research that will last for months and years ahead. Scientists are still trying to work out the answers to big questions that inspired the mission's purpose in the first place, such as the true length of a day on Saturn.

"There are whole careers to be forged in the analysis of data from Cassini," said Linda Spilker, the mission's project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in a statement. "In a sense, the work has only just begun."

A body was found in search of a missing 3 year old

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sherin Mathews of Richardson, Texas, was reported missing on October 7, according to the Richardson Police Department. She was last seen in the backyard of her family's home early that morning by her adoptive father, Wesley Mathews.

The body was found around 11 a.m. Sunday morning in a culvert beneath a road, Sgt. Kevin Perlich, spokesman for the police department, told reporters Sunday. An arrest has not been made in connection with the discovery of the body.

While a medical examiner has yet to see the child's body and make a positive identification, Perlich said, "It is most likely" Sherin Mathews, and her parents have been notified of the discovery. The cause of death has yet to be determined.

Local police were waiting for an FBI evidence recovery team to process the scene on Sunday afternoon, Perlich said.

Multiple law enforcement agencies have participated in the ongoing search, including the FBI, US Marshals and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, according to police.

Investigators combed Sherin's neighborhood and surrounding area with K-9 teams and helicopters and executed a search warrant at the Mathews' home on October 10, police said.

Child left outside at 3 a.m.

Sherin's father told police he left his daughter outside around 3 a.m. on October 7, as punishment "because she wouldn't drink her milk," according to a probable cause document obtained by CNN. He told her to stand by a tree approximately 100 feet away from the home, across an alleyway. He later told police he knew coyotes had been seen in the alley where he told her to stay, the affidavit said.

Around 3:15 a.m., when he went to retrieve the child, she was gone, the document says.

Police say Mathews didn't contact police for five hours after he realized the child was missing.

Later that evening, Mathews was arrested and charged with abandoning or endangering a child, "as a result of his decision to place her outside a place of safety," the Richardson Police Department said on its verified Facebook page. He is out on bond, according to police.

The Richardson Police Department said on October 12 that one of the Mathews' vehicles had left the residence the morning Sherin went missing, between 4 and 5 a.m., between the time Mathews said Sherin disappeared and the time he called police.

An attorney for Sherin's mother did not respond to CNN's requests for comment. It could not be determined whether Wesley Mathews was represented by an attorney.

CNN's Tina Burnside and Sheena Jones contributed to this report.

Fears of a serial killer have police in Tampa escorting children to school in one neighborhood near downtown, and a city bus changed its usual route.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Fears of a serial killer have police in Tampa escorting children to school in one neighborhood near downtown, and a city bus changed its usual route.

Three people were shot and killed in the quiet neighborhood of Seminole Heights. The shootings all took place within a one mile radius which have led police to believe that there is a link between the killings.

All three victims, who didn't know each other, rode the bus and were alone when they were shot on the street. None of the victims were robbed.

Nearly two weeks after the first shooting, Police are left with no motive and no suspect. With so much uncertainty surround the killings, some residents are locking themselves inside their homes.

Business owners have reported a downturn in recent days.

Maria Malonado, who lives near the scene of two of the shootings, refused to let her 7-year-old son play in the yard.

"We don't open the door or nothing. A lot of people are scared. I'm scared for my son, for the neighborhood," she said.

Majed Forahaa, a local store owner, said he has a concealed carry permit for a handgun that he keeps with him while has working. When it's time to walk to his care the end of his night, Forahaa says he holds it in his hand.

Police have even had to escort children to class on Monday as parents weigh their fear against sending their children to school.

Even the city bus altered its usual route to avoid making a pattern.

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn said the city has put dozens of officers in the area around the clock. The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are also helping, he said.

"There aren't a lot of facts, or evidence, yet, but it's not for lack of Tampa Police Department trying. We literally have put bodies out here by the dozens. We're going to find this guy and we're not leaving this neighborhood till we do," Buckhorn said.

olice said 22-year-old Benjamin Mitchell was the first person killed on Oct. 9. Two days later, 32-year-old Monica Hoffa was killed in a vacant lot. Anthony Naiboa, 20, was shot and killed Oct. 19.

Trump-Corker feud explodes ahead of critical Hill visit

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The exchange between the two men escalates a public feud that has highlighted divisions between Trump and several Republicans on Capitol Hill who are critical to passing his agenda.

HIV-infected school aide accused of sexually victimizing 42 children in Maryland

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A former Maryland school aide and track coach accused of sexually assaulting several male students while he was HIV positive was indicted Friday on more charges as the number of victims has nearly doubled.

The Charles County State Attorney's Office announced Monday a 206-count indictment for Carlos Deangelo Bell, 30, a stark increase from the 119-count indictment handed out in late July.

Bell is now accused of assaulting 42 juveniles after officials originally reported 24 victims in July.

"The ages of the alleged victims at the time the offenses were committed range from 11 years old to 17 years old," the state attorney's office said.

Of the 42 victims, officials said they have identified 28 juveniles, and 14 remain unidentified.

The ex-school aid is accused of sexually abusing his victims at Benjamin Stoddert Middle School, at his home and possibly at other locations between May 2015 and June 2017, police said.

While Bell allegedly sexually assaulted students while not wearing protection, the state attorney's office said they were not aware of any of the victims testing positive for HIV.

Investigators said a concerned parent checked her child's phone and found inappropriate text messages in connection with Bell in November, FOX5 reported. Authorities launched an investigation in December, and Bell was removed from La Plata High School and his coaching job on Dec. 22.

A search of Bell's work computer didn't reveal anything suspicious, but police said a search of Bell's home computer and electronic devices turned up child pornography, according to FOX5.

The State Attorney's office said the charges against Bell include: 22 counts of sexual abuse of a minor, 19 counts of second-degree sex offense, 19 counts of second-degree sex offenses, 7 counts of third-degree sex offense, 97 counts of child pornography and other offenses.

If convicted of certain crimes listed in the indictment, the state attorney's office said it would seek life in prison for Bell. He is currently being held without bond, and is scheduled to be in court on Jan. 8.

A Virginia man who admitted to shooting a bald eagle and then running it over several times with an all-terrain vehicle was sentenced to a month of house arrest Monday.

Allen H. Thacker, 62, was also ordered to complete 100 hours of community service at an area wildlife refuge and to pay $500 in fines along with $1,500 in restitution.

A woman was driving on a road in Smithfield in March when she said she witnessed a man driving an ATV over a bald eagle, according to court documents.

The woman told authorities of the incident and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries opened an investigation, The Virginian-Pilot reported.

Thacker pleaded guilty in July to violating the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. He told officers he killed the eagle in March because he had seen the bird killing small game and eating fish on his property.

Thacker said the eagle was a "menace" and "too much emphasis" was put on the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, The Virginian-Pilot reported.

Drivers must pay $28 just to enter this city.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The owners of older, polluting cars will now have to pay $28 just to enter central London.

The capital city has introduced a new £10 ($13) emission charge that affects the most polluting vehicles. That's on top of an existing £11.50 ($15) congestion charge collected from drivers in the city center.

The new "T-charge" applies to both diesel and gasoline vehicles that do not meet the Euro 4 emission standards outlined by the European Commission. Most of the affected cars were sold before 2006.

Both fees will be charged from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the working week.

The move is a part of broader anti-pollution strategy championed by mayor Sadiq Khan, who has made tackling dirty air one of his top priorities.

"It's staggering that we live in a city where the air is so toxic that many of our children are growing up with lung problems," he said in a statement.

London will impose even tighter controls with the introduction of a "Ultra Low Emission Zone" in 2019. Charges on polluting cars will be extended to include nights and weekends.

London surpassed the European Union's annual limit for nitrogen dioxide exposure just five days into 2017, according to King's College.

The university estimates that air pollution is responsible for 9,400 premature deaths in the capital every year.

The British government said earlier this year that it will ban sales of new gasoline and diesel cars starting in 2040.

family of fallen solder receives $25,000 from Trump

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The family of a fallen soldier thrust into the national spotlight by the president's promise months ago of a $25,000 gift was left "speechless" when they finally received the check.

"I'm still speechless," Jessie Baldridge told ABC affiliate WTVD. "We are so moved and grateful, and we promise to use the money to honor Dillon's legacy."

The family spoke exclusively to WTVD after getting the check and a letter from the president on Monday.

When Chris and Jessie Baldridge's son, Corporal Dillon C. Baldridge, was killed in Afghanistan in June, the grieving family received a condolence call from President Trump. To their surprise, the president offered to give the family a $25,000 gift.

But after weeks passed and the check never came, the Baldridges say they didn't raise the issue.

"We just thought he was saying something nice," Jessie Baldridge said. "We got a condolence letter from him (a few weeks later) and there was no check, and we kind of joked about it. We didn't take to social media and didn't complain."

But the story came to national attention after an article by the Washington Post mentioned the president's unusual offer -- and the delay in its completion.

White House officials responded after being asked about the president's promise last week, saying the check was in the mail.

The officials said "a substantial process" is involved in the president's interactions with the public and that the check had been "in the pipeline" since Trump's initial call with the family.

The check, shown to WTVD, was dated for October 18, the same date the White House was asked to respond to the Washington Post article.

Spokeswoman Lindsay Walters hit back forcefully at the suggestion that the president didn't intend to follow through on his gesture to the family.

"It's disgusting that the media is taking something that should be recognized as a generous and sincere gesture, made privately by the president, and using it to advance the media's biased agenda," Walters said.

It was not clear if the president had made similar offers to other Gold Star families.

Teens chaged after man killed by rock thrown from Michigan overpass.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Five teenage boys were charged with murder on Monday after a man was killed when a massive rock was thrown from a Michigan overpass last week.

Kyle Anger, 17; Alexander Miller, 15; Mark Sekelsky, 16; Mikadyn Payne, 16; and Trevor Gray, 15, were arrested and charged with second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit second-degree murder. The teens were charged as adults in Genesee County, FOX2 Detroit reported.

The teens are accused of standing at an Interstate 75 overpass in Vienna Township, about 80 miles north of Detroit, on Oct. 18 and throwing rocks at passing cars. Anger allegedly dropped a six-pound rock from the overpass that smashed through a truck's windshield and killed 32-year-old Kenneth White, who was driving home from work.

The rock hit White's face and ricocheted onto his chest, causing fractures to his skull and face. The driver's cause of death was ruled blunt force trauma to his head and chest.

Several drivers also reported having large rocks and concrete chunks hit their vehicles, but they were not injured, prosecutors said. Genesee County Sheriff's Office said 20 rocks were found, including one that weighed 20 pounds, according to FOX2.

Police also said last week the teens appeared to be playing a prank.

The teenage boys are expected to be arraigned on Tuesday and face life in prison if convicted.

Tampa Florida fears possible serial killer

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Fears of a serial killer have police in Tampa escorting children to school in one neighborhood near downtown, and a city bus changed its usual route.

Three people were shot and killed in the quiet neighborhood of Seminole Heights. The shootings all took place within a one mile radius which have led police to believe that there is a link between the killings.

All three victims, who didn't know each other, rode the bus and were alone when they were shot on the street. None of the victims were robbed.

Nearly two weeks after the first shooting, Police are left with no motive and no suspect. With so much uncertainty surround the killings, some residents are locking themselves inside their homes.

Business owners have reported a downturn in recent days.

Maria Malonado, who lives near the scene of two of the shootings, refused to let her 7-year-old son play in the yard.

"We don't open the door or nothing. A lot of people are scared. I'm scared for my son, for the neighborhood," she said.

Majed Forahaa, a local store owner, said he has a concealed carry permit for a handgun that he keeps with him while has working. When it's time to walk to his care the end of his night, Forahaa says he holds it in his hand.

Police have even had to escort children to class on Monday as parents weigh their fear against sending their children to school.

Even the city bus altered its usual route to avoid making a pattern.

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn said the city has put dozens of officers in the area around the clock. The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are also helping, he said.

"There aren't a lot of facts, or evidence, yet, but it's not for lack of Tampa Police Department trying. We literally have put bodies out here by the dozens. We're going to find this guy and we're not leaving this neighborhood till we do," Buckhorn said.

olice said 22-year-old Benjamin Mitchell was the first person killed on Oct. 9. Two days later, 32-year-old Monica Hoffa was killed in a vacant lot. Anthony Naiboa, 20, was shot and killed Oct. 19.

The MTA is getting rid of MetroCards in favor of a "tap" payment system

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The MetroCard's days are numbered.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's board took its first step on Monday to retire the MetroCard and bring technology to let people "tap" their way through turnstiles and onto buses, like the transit system in London.

The MTA board's finance committee voted unanimously to give a $573 million contract to Cubic Transportation Systems, the company that created the MetroCard and London's Oyster card system. The full MTA board vote to award the bid will happen Wednesday.

"They're looking at the most modern technologies available," MTA Chairman Joe Lhota said Monday. "When I see most people go into Starbucks, I actually pay in cash, but it seems like everybody else does a tap-and-go with their smartphone. That's going to be the way that you can pay for your fares in the future."

The plan is to fully retire the MetroCard in 2023, as the new technology rolls out. The MetroCard system has already exceeded its shelflife and is costly to maintain, officials said.

In the first of five phases, transit passengers in 2019 will be able to tap their way using a bank card or smartphone on 500 turnstiles and 600 buses, plus load up their chosen device with money online. The devices will help the MTA create a "proof-of-payment" pilot on Select Bus routes by fitting buses with readers at all doors.

Steve Plochochi, an MTA contracts executive, said there's no risk of the technology changing drastically, because the contract calls for the "latest and greatest" as the new system rolls out.

In the meantime, the MetroCard will still be around for people who don't use smartphones or have bank accounts.

In 2020, all subway stations and buses will have the tech, with the MTA issuing its own tap card in 2021. All traces of the MetroCard and its vending machines will be gone in 2023 under the MTA's timeline.

"There's so many good reasons to do this, I don't know where to start," said Andrew Albert, an MTA board member. "You won't have to pay employees to clean the turnstiles, you wont have to be stuck behind someone who doesn't know exactly the right way to swipe."

Al Putre, the MTA's chief revenue official, said he intends to stick to the timeline to bringing technology to New York's transit network that has been in use elsewhere for years.

"My background is not to have delays. I have made some commitments to this organization - I intend to keep them. We have a strong project team," Putre said. "We need to avoid the delays."

MTA board member Larry Schwartz said he told agency brass to stick to the scope of the contract and avoid changes that could cause delays.

"The MTA has had enough time to figure out what it is we need and what it is we want. This is not about coming up with new toys," Schwartz said.

only 1 firefighter survived out of 19 in Arizona in 2013 wildfires and they are now being honored.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As Northern California prepares to recover from a devastating series of wildfires, the heroic and poignant true story behind one of the worst firefighter tragedies in U.S. history is now in theaters.

Only the Brave tells the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a highly trained team of wildland firefighters that lost 19 of its 20 members when they became entrapped in the Yarnell Hill blaze in Arizona on June 30, 2013.

The wildfire was ignited by lightning on June 28, 2013, and it quickly spread over 8,300 acres through a combination of strong winds, high temperatures and dry conditions caused by drought.

Members of another hotshot team, the Blue Ridge Hotshots, tried to save the trapped Granite Mountain crew, but were pushed back by the fire's immense heat. When members of the Blue Ridge team finally found the bodies, they saw that some of the Granite Mountain team had deployed fire shelters designed to protect wildland firefighters from small flames as a last resort. The shelters were ultimately useless that day against direct contact with the massive inferno.

How the crew became entrapped, along with the exact circumstances of the incident - the deadliest of any kind for U.S. firefighters since the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 - are still unknown, as the only survivor of the crew, Brendan McDonough (played by Miles Teller in the film), was separated from the group acting as a lookout at the time of their deaths. The men who died were Andrew Ashcraft, 29; Robert Caldwell, 23; Travis Carter, 31; Dustin Deford, 24; Christopher MacKenzie, 30; Eric Marsh, 43; Grant McKee, 21; Sean Misner, 26; Scott Norris, 28; Wade Parker, 22; John Percin, 24; Anthony Rose, 23; Jesse Steed, 36; Joe Thurston, 32; Travis Turbyfill, 27; William Warneke, 25; Clayton Whitted, 28; Kevin Woyjeck, 21; and Garret Zuppiger, 27.

The film focuses more on how they lived, their bravery and their brotherhood as hotshots, an elite crew often compared to the Navy SEALs of firefighting. Hotshots travel the country battling wildfires, and the Granite Mountain crew distinguished itself as the only municipal group to be nationally certified. (Normally teams are run out of larger agencies like the Forest Service).

"I'm really blown away by such an amazing job they did," says McDonough, now 25, who served as an advisor to the filmmakers and cast. "I think the most important thing, and they nailed it, was the camaraderie."

McDonough, who was the newest member of the group at the time of the tragedy, has been recovering from PTSD and depression since losing the men he calls "brothers." He has found healing by working with nonprofits helping members of the fire service, and says he strives to carry on the values he saw in his teammates. "When I see some of their family members I hope they think 'My son was like that.' 'My husband carried himself in that way, he talked about love and compassion and helping others like that,'" he says.

Telling the story right was essential to the filmmakers, who based the movie on an emotional article written by Sean Flynn for GQ. Pat McCarty, a Prescott firefighter who also served as technical advisor, says everyone on set felt that sense of duty. "There are so many people it's representing - not just the people portrayed in the film but all wildland firefighters, all their family members and anyone that's ever known one. They all have their eyes on this film and it's tough for us to go home and explain what the film is like, and it's tough for us to go home and explain the job, but now people are going to have a little bit of an insight into what it's like."

To prepare for the role, Josh Brolin, who played team leader Eric Marsh, and the rest of the cast went through firefighter bootcamp. "The fact that we trained with actual Granite Mountain Hotshots I think was a major major thing," Brolin says. "I think they trusted us when they saw how dedicated we were and how much we were willing to lend ourselves and how lazy we weren't. I think we got their approval and I think that meant a lot to everybody."

"They put a lot of effort into it," McDonough said. "When they came onboard they knew what they were willing to do and it shined through everyday. It wasn't, 'Hey how come we have to hike this long?' It was, 'Hey how can I improve my stride so I can hike faster and longer?' They showed up to put out."

Only the Brave offers a crash course in the dangerous vocation. Hotshots are tasked with controlling towering, fast moving infernos with little more than chainsaws, shovels and drip torches. With incredible speed and efficiency, they dig a line of trenches ahead of the approaching blaze, and then set their own counter-fires with torches. When the wildfire runs into the counter-flame, the two snuff each other out. As the movie explains, they often fight fire with fire.

More than just the intense physical training, McDonough says the actors' emotional investment in the characters stood out. "The time they spent, the questions they asked, how they asked them; they really wanted to know the depth that goes into that person. That is when I knew this was going to be a good film."

For Brolin, interacting with the fallen hotshots' families was one of the most essential and difficult parts of preparing for the role. "I think meeting the families, for me personally in the beginning, was very hard because I can't imagine losing my own son. I think ultimately what they hoped for is that we represent them in the most honorable way we could, which I think we did as a whole."

In addition to honoring the heroes who died that day, their families and the firefighter community as a whole, the filmmakers hope that Only the Brave helps bring positive change to the service.

"I'm hoping maybe someone sees this film and gets an idea for some sort of technology that can help these guys with their jobs because it feels like what they go out there with is so primitive: chainsaws and shovels and drip torches," director Joe Kosinski says. "Is there any way we can use all this technology we have to help these guys do their job safely? NASA is working on a new shelter and drones are a powerful way to get perspective."

The film has also spurred the creation of a charity, the Granite Mountain Fund, which helps to support firefighting as well as the towns and families connected to hotshots. Only the Brave studio Sony "has played such a huge role in starting the Granite Mountain Fund," McDonough says. "I've worked with all of those nonprofits personally and they're doing phenomenally."

And, as McDonough explains in his book My Lost Brothers, wildland firefighters and their families need more help now than ever. "Wildfires are getting bigger. They're burning hotter, wider, and longer," he writes. He thinks the 20,000 firefighters in the field in the West are "not enough."

In a description that could apply to many crews battling the recent wildfires in Sonoma County, McDonough writes, "There's a crew of 20 firefighters working a 32-hour shift on a fire line somewhere in California. They're bone tired. They haven't seen their families in weeks. They're working under supervisors who are exhausted and overworked. When that crew kills the fire they're on, there are two or three more waiting for them. It's inevitable that mistakes will be made."

While wildfires are on the rise, crews like McDonough's continue to risk their lives to stop them, saving thousands of lives and millions of dollars in damages.

Only the Brave is in theaters now.
