65,000 fans per day and another 15 to 20,000 who were expect god -- expected to gather out the stadium forced to stay home from a tour that's been called a cultural phenomenon. cbs news has learned the information about the two suspects in austria originated from u.s. intelligence and was communicated to austrian authorities. chris livesay, cbs news, venice. swift hasn't commented publicly on the terror threat, in a 2019 essay for "elle" magazine she said after the manchester bombing and the las vegas concert shooting she was terrified of going on tour because she didn't know how they were going to keep three million fans safe over seven months. she's scheduled to close out her european tour next week at wembley stadium in england. now to the race for the white house. vice president kamala harris and and her running mate tim walz

nominee, former president donald trump. >> he has no understanding of service because he's too busy servicing himself. >> reporter: trump's running mate, ohio senator j.d. vance, has been counter-programming. >> first i want to say how great it is to be here in eau claire, wisconsin. >> reporter: with events of his own in the same cities, even approaching reporters near the vice president's plane when the flights overlapped at a nearby airport. >> i just wanted to check out my future plane but also want to say hello to the vice president and ask her why kamala harris refuses -- why does she refuse to answer questions from the media. >> reporter: today harris and walz head to the southwest, sweeping the sunbelt, crucial to success in november. and the vice president harris did face a moment of pushback on policy in detroit. during the rally pro-palestinian protesters called out the

737 max was now flying with a gaping hole. inside the passenger cabin when the flight attendant in the back first saw the damage, they told investigators "i was absolutely certain we had lost people out of the hole and that we had casualties." one flight attendant recalled wondering "pilots, where are you? no idea if they are alive, conscious, did they know there's a hole in the plane?" as they approached the runway the pilots reported their oxygen masks fogging up. still, the plane landed safely. >> this was quite traumatic for the crew and the passengers. >> reporter: ntsb chair jennifer homendy is leading this week's investigative hearing into the accident. how did that door panel leave boeing without the bolts that hold it in place? >> that is part of our question. we knew it was open. at this point we knew it was closed. what happened on the in between? we don't know. and neither do they. that's a problem. >> reporter: and when asked, boeing could not rule out a mistake like this happening again. >> are you 100% -- can you tell

alaska airlines there will never be -- there may never be a situation where bolts won't be put into a door plug? >> i can't make a promise or guarantee like that. >> reporter: that same boeing official stressed the company is committed to making the needed changes. we've learned they are redesigning the door panel in an effort to avoid a repeat of january. that change could be ready within a year. kris van cleave, cbs news, washington. coming up, ukraine on the offensive. russia accuses ukraine of a rare cross-border attack. and pond rescue. body cam video captures a florida deputy saving a child just in the nick of time. e nick. . steve takes voquezna. this is steve's stomach, where voquezna can kick some acid, heal acid-related damage to the esophagus called erosive esophagitis, and relieve related heartburn. voquezna is the first and only fda-approved treatment of its kind. 93% of adults were healed by two months.
