Nepalis in Colorado react to flooding, K9 attack aftermath, Denverites bringing history to life

CORRECTION: In today's segment about Colorado's glaciers, we identified the expert voice throughout as Matthew Siegfried from Colorado School of Mines. However, the final two quotes are actually from Dan McGrath, associate professor of geosciences at CSU. We apologize for the error.

The floods and mudslides in Nepal have horrified the world, and for some in Colorado, the pain is personal. Plus, while a collapsing glacier is being blamed for the devastation in Nepal, the things Colorado calls glaciers are quite different. Then, a family attacked by a Jeffco Sheriff’s K9 in their backyard says the department never helped with their medical costs. Plus we take you on a voyage back in time, at a park in Denver where history buffs gather to fight and feast.
