in Texas, the emotional testimony from the directors of Camp Mystic, where 25 girls and two counselors were killed.
What they now acknowledge about those early moments in the disaster.
Here's Trevor Holt.
I don't know.
Tonight, emotional testimony from the directors of Camp Mystic, grilled on the stand about their response during last year's devastating Texas floods that killed 25 young girls and two counselors.
I grabbed two girls and there was a third one that I didn't grab.
And I held onto those girls. I wish we never had camp that summer.
A judge is weighing whether the Eastland family can reopen the camp in a matter of weeks.
Families of the victims want to preserve what they feel is a crime scene, saying the camp directors did not do enough to protect those girls.
Well, I knew I had to figure out who we had and didn't have at that point.
And I'm sorry. The camp directors admit they didn't see weather alerts about the flood danger, and they didn't evacuate the campers until it was too late.
Why did you do nothing to get a hold of them?
I knew I couldn't get a hold of them. What did you do to try?
There was nothing to try. I didn't have any means to get a hold of them.
There was nothing to try to get a hold of them.
Did you try and scream?
You couldn't have heard us scream. Did you try? No.
David, Camp Mystic says this year's camp will not be held on the Guadalupe River, but instead higher up on the hill, and they say more than 800 girls have already enrolled to attend.
