Carol Costello Presents: Blind Rage

In "Carol Costello Presents: Blind Rage," journalist Carol Costello revisits the first big assignment she covered as a 22-year-old, novice reporter: Phyllis Cottles’ brutal attack. Psychologists call them “Triumphant Survivors,” but Phyllis Cottle was more than a survivor, she used this crime to better herself and the world around her. Before her 18 years at CNN covering stories like 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the Pulse Nightclub massacre, Costello was a 22-year-old college senior psyched to be manning the phones at WAKR/TV23 in Akron, Ohio. Cottle's horrific story was her first big assignment and it left a life-long impression. Costello shares how Cottle's courage impacted her as a rookie reporter and as a young woman struggling to be heard.
