4:00 pm
up on the top of the hour here and we are going to begin the newscast with this story. there's some new details coming out of new york right now. four adults and three children have died in a crash. their car went over the guardrail and plunged 60 feet to the ground. susan candiotti standing near the site for us. susan, it's terrible, you've seen the video, what are police saying happened? do they really know? >> reporter: don, it's a horrible tragedy, and no, police still don't know why this accident happened. what caused a woman driving her suv to go sailing over an overpass and crashing that vehicle, killing everyone inside, all seven people. here's what they do know. according to eyewitnesses, police say a woman, 45 years old was driving this suv down a six-lane highway called the bronx river park way. for some reason, they don't know why, she hit the middle barrier, a concrete barrier, the median.
4:01 pm
it's only about three feet high. witnesses say she overcompensated and made a sharp right, crossing over three lanes of traffic going in the very same direction, hit a curb that went over a fence, only again about two to three feet high, and went sailing about 50 to 60 feet. control of the suv. it could have been, authorities say, any number of things. maybe something physically went wrong with her. perhaps there was a mechanical failure, a distraction of some kind. these are all the things that
4:02 pm
they'll be looking at as some of the possibilities, don. >> all right. susan candiotti in new york. susan, thank you very much. this stretch of road is no stranger to bad wrecks. back in 2006, six people were killed in almost the exact same spot. i spoke to steve casamo about the safety of this particular roadway. >> back in 2010, this bridge was one of several in new york state that were determined to be functionally y functionally inoperable. what that definition means, it doesn't mean the bridges are necessarily unsafe, but it means they don't meet today's standards, contemporary standards. so these bridges, in other words, theedneeded to be brough to date to meet today's safety standards, and this particular portion of the bronx river parkway, this bridge that this vehicle went off today, it was
4:03 pm
declared in 2010 to be functionally obsolete. >> that was steve casenbaum. the search for a missing crewman after a sailing accident killed three others. the yacht was head fed from newport beach, california to encinada. they found the bodies near the coronado islands. they are searching 500 square miles of ocean. terrorist concerns for americans are high, but they may have diminished just a little this time last year as the marines went after and killed osama bin laden. >> reporter: it was an historic moment. >> tonight i can report to the american people and to the world that the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden, the leader of al-qaeda.
4:04 pm
>> reporter: after a risky overnight raid, america's enemy number 1 was dead. >> i think a lot of us feel pretty good about that were involved in this operation was that as a result of what we did, america is safer. >> reporter: peter bergen, who interviewed bin laden in 1997, said al-qaeda is in terrible shape. >> they have a manner of attacking the west since the attacks of july 2005. that brand is severely tarnished. >> reporter: but government officials and experts warned that the fight against global extremism isn't over. so-called lone wolf attackers, like the man who plotted to blow up times square, the underwear bomber and the terrorist from this year remain a threat. >> we have al-qaeda franchises in places like yemen, iraq, which remain dangerous, and we
4:05 pm
have the idea of al-qaeda, the idea of global jihad, which inspires a small number of fanatics to commit a mass murder and suicide. >> reporter: like people killed in the drone last fall, they are keeping up on the pressure offal-alaki's sponsor who are still bent on killing us. >> it shows that dictators could be toppled through twitter, not terror. that's not al-qaeda's m.o. >> it's important to remain perspective. >> 1700 have died because of terrorism. about 300 people die from
4:06 pm
drownings. >> are we any safer today since osama bin laden was killed? in about 20 minutes, we'll get some expert insight from retired general. he's looking to put olympics on top of missiles as part of olympic security. u.s. forces are trying to take down a notorious warlord. gvital and hurtle us all into space. which would render retirement planning unnecessary. but say the sun rises on december 22nd, and you still need to retire. td ameritrade's investment consultants can help you build a plan that fits your life. we'll even throw in up to $600 when you open a new account or roll over an old 401(k). so who's in control now, mayans? when you open a new account or roll over an old 401(k). i'm one of six children that my mother raised by herself, and so college was a dream when i was a kid. i didn't know how i was gonna to do it,

4:11 pm
monitors, it keeps growing. >> 30 on the armed observers, the 100 unarmed observers and 1,000 unarmed observers cannot solve all the problems. >> also on sunday, state-run syrian arab news agency reported that observers were visiting the area of homs. meanwhile, a bastion of government sentiment says attacks only stopped when the u.n. visited. it purports to show u.n. monitors driving through the streets of homs with u.n. monitors on sunday, and the korp corpses were left in the decimating streets. they can be heard to say that corpses were on the ground for 30 days and they weren't able to recover the bodies before because of the presence of snipers. it was only now they were able

4:31 pm
that it's not time for a high five, and nobody took a breather and said this is wonderful and did victory laps. clearly what is required is vigilance and persistence, and this is an ongoing struggle that's not going to go away in the immediate time frame. it's very much a persistent operation that has to take place in multiple locations around the globe, and our intelligence community with a lot of partners and a lot of locations are doing a very good job of making sure we're identifying those pockets of radicalism as they appear, identifying the leaders and being able to target them quite effectively. >> general, has the u.s. strategy against terror shifted in the years since bin laden's death? >> well, you know, it really has. clearly our intelligence community has a very, very broad
4:32 pm
mandate and a lot of partners that are helping in terms of the identification of these leaders. and in fact, even within our own commander control and our own military and our intelligence communities, we have multiple lists of who those known terrorists are, what their leadership infrastructures look like, and where they overlap and enter se int intersect, we get clearance and affect manipulations. what's happening is we've had a very large presence in places like iraq and very large presence in places like afghanistan. obviously, iraq now we're gone and afghanistan we're drawing down, but we're drawn down in a way we can increase afghanistan forces, give that government a sense of security, allow them to get a little more confident in terms of how they can do their business so they can grow their own capabilities to go after these pockets.
4:33 pm
now, in other places, don, as you know, like al-qaeda and the arabian peninsula has migrated into yemen. we have a very strong presence there in terms of targeting where we know they are and their types and patterns of activity, and we can go after them. >> i found something very interesting this morning on nbc, and it was said by a senior campaign adviser for obama. >> you're saying president obama wouldn't ta -- romney wouldn't take that shot? >> i don't think so. he criticized obama and said that he was a high value target. nobody was a higher value target than osama bin laden. >> i'm not sure you want to answer a political question, but we have to go there because this was debated in the media and both camps. you were national security adviser for mitt romney in the
4:34 pm
obama campaign. do you feel that assertion is true? >> i think it's being politicized, but i cannot support an assertion like that. that's a pure hypothetical. how can someone transfer to someone else a firm statement that an act would occur if that individual were in that position? that's complete fantasy to me. >> wasn't bin laden the main reason that the u.s. invaded afghanistan? he has been dead a year. and can you remind us, do you know what the mission is now? >> what we're doing? yeah, with the defeat of osama bin laden, that was a major, major accomplishment by our intelligence community and our military. i mean, it truly is a representation of what our military can accomplish and what our national leaders, the types of decisions, that they can make. now, let's be frank. our president made a very tough call. the secretary of defense said don't do it, there are other ways to go after him. the chairman of the joint chiefs
4:35 pm
at the time said, don't do it, there is another way to go after him. this was a very tough decision on the part of our president and it was executed with incredible precision, and we should all be extremely proud of that. the mission in afghanistan is altering as the afghan people in the government stand up and increase their ability to maintain governance and security in the region. again, let's go back. where did the attack on 9/11 occur in terms of its -- has that now migrated? [ technical difficulties ] >> we continue in yemen like we used to do, and if they've got it there, we'll apply similar pressure. >> i can't believe it's been a year.
4:36 pm
i know it sound like a cliche. i cannot believe it's baeen a year since that happened. >> i know, don, it's quite amazing. but again, in that interim period of a year, the pressure we've been able to apply on al-qaeda where it exists, the taliban where they exist in afghanistan is quite remarkable in itself, and all the while, u.s. presence is drawing down and afghan stan will only grow in their capabilities. it's the kind of news that would crush most families. >> we've got all the time in the world to cry. we can cry, you know, when she's no longer here, but for now we want to try and enjoy the time we do have with her and just make noise. >> look at her. so precious. their baby is dying, but you'll meet a remarkable couple determined to live out her days with joy and not sadness. s old,

one of the best known american tragedies, the
4:45 pm
assassination of robert f. kennedy but now there's a new account of what happened back in that night of 1968. the shooter was sentenced to life but his attorneys are hoping for a new trial. the new story is told by rosemary hughes. she was at the hotel the night kennedy was shot. in an exclusive interview with cnn, she says, there is a part of the story the fbi has ignored all these years. >> there were more than eight shots, and interesting that you read whatever the fbi issued, everybody said eight shots. not. i wish there were some recordings of me that night. i did give an interview to somebody with a microphone where i said there were at least 12, maybe 14, and i know there was because i heard the rhythm in my head. and i know with the first two or three shots, i wasn't aware. as i said, i thought they were
4:46 pm
flashbulbs. what has to come out is there was another shooter to my right, and robert kennedy was also to my right, and the shooter was standing to my left on some raised platform. there were two shooters. it must come out on who they were. it must come out who the other shooter is because there definitely was another shooter. >> nina rhodes-hughes says she was never called as a witness in the original trial. she just topts gwants to get he out. federal judges reviewing that story right now. what if i told you your computer was obsolete, a relic, even if it's brand new, and not years from now, right now, as of this week. that's some of the chatter we're hearing at the google debut of their cloud drive. the tech pro knows everything, and we'll get a google -- to
4:47 pm
google in a moment here, but in simple terms, okay, explain this cloud thing to us. >> okay, so the idea of the cloud is that instead of having to store your documents are your hard drive or a thumb drive or something else locally, it can be stored in a server so you can access it from any other computer. once you log in with your google credentials, you're on your laptop, a work computer or your phone, you can log in and access all your documents. >> whatever it is, you can go and get it. you've heard the ads that you can put your pictures, your videos in a cloud. is it safe for everything? >> it's relatively safe, and the big problem, i think, is for certain types of documents. you might not want to put your tax records. you might not want to put really sensitive business documents, and the reason is for right now, google doesn't offer what's called encryption of those files which means there is the off
4:48 pm
chance that if someone could access your account they could breach those documents. you might not want to put your most sensitive financial documents up there, but for photos and videos and regular word processing files, it's a great way to quickly and easily store things. >> i want to go back over a little one on one because we've been talking about this cloud for a year now. let's get to this google drive where we said your computer may be obsolete right now. you know you've got something when your competitors are freaking out about this right now. why is my computer, possibly this brand new mac book pro, or whatever it is that i have, why is it maybe obsolete? >> it's not that it would be obsolete, it's that google is kind of pushing everybody to store everything in the cloud. it's no longer that important about what you have, what specs your mac book has, but whether or not it's accessible from anywhere. some of the biggest competitors against google drive are drop box and microsoft sky drive, and
4:49 pm
amazon has a service that all do very similar things. but the advantage that google has is a lot of people use google for e-mail, they use it for search, they use it for google docs and it will work with your existing google accounts. if you have e-mail attachments, if goes on the drive. >> that's a lot of stuff to be out there. but, you know, and even with that, i say that because some of the legal mumbo jumbo from google this weeks raised some eyebrows. is there worry that google could possibly sell your information? >> sure. that's part of the problem. when you look at their competitors like microsoft and drop box, they make it very clear you own your stuff. they're giving you permission. they're not going to do anything with your files and you own it all. google's services are more broad, and depending how you read it or how you interpret it, they might be able to use it in

advertising or they might be able to sell advertising on top of it or do other things with your content. so that has a lot of people concerned. to be clear, this is something google does with all their terms of service, so they make the same claims of service with google and g-mail docs. i think by google but were created maybe in microsoft office or kree yaited some place else, it's understandable people get a little more nervous about who might have potential claims over that content. >> when something like this happens, you know, is this where we go from cassette to dvd or dvd to ipod or whatever? is this a fad or is this the way the future is going. >> no. this is definitely the way the future is going. there are a lot of notebooks, laptop sold today that don't have a cd-rom at all. don't have a dvd drive. ti pad, tablets and phones, it's more and more common you access documents that way. the idea that instead of taking up storage space on your phone or ipad you can just plug into a

4:58 pm
well. he went zinger to zinger -- zinger for zinger with jimmy kemle at the white house correspondence dinner. here are some of the best one-liners. >> four years ago, i looked like this. today i look like this. and four years from now i will look like this. >> mr. president, you remember -- you remember when the country rallied around you in hopes of a better tomorrow. that was hilarious. you know, there's a term for guys like president obama. probably not two terms. >> we got men in tuxes. women in gowns. fine wine. first-class entertainment. i was just relieved to learn this was not a gsa conference. >> if anyone has tickets to the gsa afterparty, the plane is leaving for the four seasons in
