"early start" begins in a moment. befirst, we want to leave you with the kindness of strangers here. this is for the national prevention of starvation and we saw them marching down the street, playing some music here in moore, oklahoma. ♪ . breaking news, everyone. bridge collapse. deadlock, jodi arias' sentencing declared a mistrial and a new jury takes over. recovering and rebuilding. this morning, signs of hope in the devastating rubble of moore, oklahoma. >> good morning to you. welcome to "early start." nice to have you with us. >> it's great to see you. >> welcome home, by the way. >> thank you. we begin with breaking news, a bridge collapse in washington state. sebding cars and people plunge into the freezing river 40 feet

below. the bridge had been classified as functionally obsolete by state transportation officials before the collapse. functionally obsolete, we'll tell what you that means. this happened in rural mt. washington. catherine, what can you tell us about there? what's the latest? >> reporter: you can see behind me there are two vehicles still in the water in the wreckage of this bridge collapse. remarkably though for a bridge that seize some 70,000 cars pass each day, just two vehicles fell into water. three victims in those victims were rescued by divers, taken to area hospitals and are all reported to be in stable condition with nonlife threatening injuries. but still, a heart stopping moment when that roadway gave way. >> whether the dust hit, i saw the bridge start to fall at that point. momentum carried us right over.

as you saw the water approaching, there's just one of those, you hold on as tight as you can. and just a when it flash and cold water. it was definitely cold this time of the year. >> reporter: again, that survivor feeling -- saying earlier this evening that he feels blessed and fortunate to be alive at this hour. certainly the situation could have been much worse. >> much worse based on the pictures that we're seeing right now. any sense of how this happened? >> reporter: multiple witnesses described an oversized vehicle that passed over this bridge just instaminutes before the collapse. washington's governor admits at the same time that state's bridges are aging and in many cases need of repairs. >> we have a semitruck that was southbound on interstate 5 in what we call lane one, the right lane. the size of the load that he was carrying appeared to create a

problem, striking him -- causing him to strike the bridge. >> we have work to do on our bridges whether or not this accident happened. we have some discussions in olympia to making sure that we make investments in bridges to prevent this thing from happening. >> of course, washington like so many states, has a very, very tight budget situation. and something has got to give. investments that need to be made perhaps were not. >> we mention that this bridge was rated functionally obsolete. that is a very specific term that means something specific. can you explain it to us? >> reporter: that's right, john. it sounds bad. functioning obsolete. what it does mean that the bridge is structurally deficient, merely the design is outdated. perhaps it's narrower than it might be if it were more modern, a lower clearance. this bridge is very old. it was build in 1955. still uncertain at this hour

whether it will be able to be repaired or have to be replaced completeliment that's the latest from here in mt. vernon. >> thank you so much, catherine. appreciate it. catherine barret. we want to bring in richard desin who witnessed the bridge collapse. and a friend were heading back to seattle when traffic came to a stop. his car was some 500 feet away from driving on that bridge when it collapsed. richard, tell me what you saw. >> we were heading southbound from bellinghambach to seattle. the freeway came to a quick abrupt stop. you know, no sw down, just stop. it stood that way for a few minutes. then we started seeing people get out. we got out of our vehicle and saw that there was no traffic ahead of the bridge. we started moving forward. they were taking us off an overramp and then we could immediately see the section of bridge was gone. so then my friend and i went

down and parked into the home depot parking lot next to this bridge and walked up on the levee. when we got, there they were just taking somebody out of the truck as you see there, they were loading him on to that boat right there underneath the bridge. >> these picture are terrifying. it's amazing that everyone appears okay. when you first saw it, it must have just seemed awful. >> just two hours earlier we came up northbound on that bridge. we had gone up to bellingham to see friends and to take some photographs. and then when we started heading south, like i said, just a minute difference of taking a few more photos and then getting back on the freeway and we could have unfortunately been in with that group. so, yeah, it's amazing that that little time. >> you saw this right after it happened as it sort of happening

before your very eyes. was it a chaotic scene or were people being rescued? >> no, very short time that the sheriff department folks were in the water, like i said, it took us a few minutes to get off the freeway. by the time we watched the crowds grow on the levee, the first picture we took as we were getting off the freeway, there was nobody on the levee. by the time we got over the overpass, there were a number of people stabbeding on the levee. by the time i got there, 10, 15 minutes after it gone in, you could see the boats responding very, very quick. i mean the sheriff department, the fire departments, ems, some of the photos i have with how many fire engines in there that responded, they responded very quickly. >> we're so glad you're okay. thank you for joining us right now. richard dessin, a man on the scene seconds after this bridge collapse. >> that's really incredible. had he not stopped to take

pictures, he could have been in the water. six minutes past the hour here. will jodi arias live or die? stay tuned for phase two in the penalty phase of her murder trial. the judge declaring a mistrial after jurors could not agree on life in prison or death. the trial is now set for july. we're facing all the developments for us in phoenix. what happens now, casey? >> reporter: well, what happens now is a new trial is scheduled to take place in july. that's because after five months of the first trial, jurors deadlocked 8-4 in favor of the death penalty. >> ladies and gentlemen, i understand you have reached a verdict. >> reporter: there was confusion and surprise, even in the voice of the clerk who announced the jury in the jodi arias case was hopelessly deadlocked on the death penalty for the murder of former boyfriend travis alexander. >> we the jury duly impanelled

and sworn upon our oath unanimously find having considered all the facts and circumstances that the defendant should be sentenced -- no unanimous agreement. >> arias sighed as members of alexander's family began to sob. jurors who declined to speak with a tlohrong of on lookers. >> wish to thank you for your extraordinary service to this community. this was not your typical trial. >> reporter: that it wasn't. it lasted nearly five months during which arias took the stand for 18 days and later made one last plea for her life. under arizona law, jurors were allowed to ask more than 200 questions. throughout there war sexually graphic images and recordings and most difficult to forget, gruesome photographs of alexander's body with dozens of stab wounds, a bullet hole and his neck slashed nearly ear to

ear. >> thank you, please be seated. >> reporter: judge stephens set a new trial date for july 18th. prosecutors could be allowed to bring up arias' recent string of television interviews according to lawyers with knowledge of death penalty prosecutions in arizona. for example, this statement to a ksaz reporter minutes after her conviction. >> well, the worst outcome for me would be natural life. i would much rather die sooner than later. i said years ago that i'd rather get death than life and that still is true today. >> reporter: nearly two weeks later she told the jury a different story. >> to me, life in prison is the most unappealing outcome i could think of. i thought i'd rather die. but as i stand here now, i can't in good conscious ask you to sentence me to death because of them. >> as she gestured to her family, the family of her victim has clearly struggled with the jury's inability to agree. they won't be granting

interviews until there is a sentence and according to the county sheriff, neither will jodi arias. now one way out of this mess could be a negotiated settlement where prosecutors could agree to take the death penalty off the table in exchange for jodi arias accepting a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of release and perhaps dropping her appeals. but no one knows if jodi arias will accept that kind of a deal. >> how do you find a jury that is not all caught up in this trial to begin with that doesn't know anything about it? it's such a bizarre -- just one more bizarre aspect of this trial. casey, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> it goes on and on and on. >> unbelievable. ten minutes past the hour. coming up, oh, amanda. amanda's erratic behavior landed her in handcuffs. >> oiy. i do a lot of research on angie's list before i do any projects on my own. at angie's list, you'll find reviews written by people just like you. i love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angie's list

breaking news. a freight ening scene this morning. take a look at this. a bridge in washington state collapses sending cars plunging into the icy water. place on leave. the woman in charge of the irs unit that targeted conservative groups, she's out. and a touching reunion. a man pulled from the rubble of the tornado in oklahoma is reunited with his rescuers. you do not want to miss this. such a special moment there. >> lovely story. welcome back to "early start," everyone, i'm john berman. >> we begin with breaking news.

a bridge collapses 60 miles north of seattle sending cars and people plunging into the frigid river below. three people are in the hospital this morning. remarkably, no one was killed. the bridge gave way last night along interstate 5 in the rural town of mt. vernon, washington. let's go live to our reporter at the scene this morning. so what are we learning this morning? >> reporter: well, this is a major artery between the canadian border and all of washington state and even points south and major commercial artery. what we're learning now is that transportation officials and witnesses believe an oversized semitruck may have hit the top of the steel super structure of this bridge and knocked it off kelter and the whole section plunged into the river. this bridge was rated functionally obsolete which though we are told does not mean it was unsound. simply that it was out of date.

it might have had two low-- toow clearance or being too narrow. many of the state's bridges are old. a state that transportation officials do not dispute. in fact, they say the situation is near critical. >> we definitely are in need of maintenance all across the great state of washington, whether it a be a local bridge or a state bridge. we are at this point where we need to make a decision about how to move forward with revenue to be able to keep up and maintain our bridges and our roads. >> reporter: of course, there have been no easy choices in washington state's budget process. they've cut funding for education and obviously infrastructure as well. so it's a tough situation financially but certainly you see what happens when things are not perhaps kept up to date. >> no kidding. that's remarkable to think that perhaps it could have been a truck that caused this, you

know, by hitting the bridge in the wrong location. so what's the status on the folks that actually fell into the frigid water there? >> reporter: well, they were rescued by divers fairly promptly. all three were taken to local hospitals. reported now to be in stable condition with nonlife threatening injuries. one man even is stable enough to be granting interviews and describing what it felt like to go from cruising along at 60 miles an hour to suddenly finding yourself underwater. >> shoulder dislocated at that point. my truck top was caved in. i couldn't see my wife in the passenger seat. i asked her if she was okay. she wasn't responding. i popped my shoulder back in so i could get over to her. unbuckled her. pulled her on to my side that had less water because it was filling up about belly deep inside the truck. and managed to get the driver side door somewhat open to where

i could step out on to the side rails of the truck and keep her out of the water in the driver's seat. >> reporter: cuts, bumps, bruises, and certainly a good scare. but given that this bridge accommodates some 70,000 cars and trucks a day, it could have been much, much worse. people are feeling fortunate to have survived. >> it seems like the response there was very fast. >> reporter: very fast. this is a generally a rural area. but there are several moderate sized towns close by. the state of washington is familiar with swift water rescues. these rivers are cold and fast and dangerous this time of year. it is something that people are prepared for whether it's boaters, fishermen or even recreational people getting in trouble into the water. they have the capacity to respond and they did in this case. >>s that's great. thank you very much. >> not much scares you. you are really freaked out.

>> i was listening to him carefully. he was talking about how he got his wife out. >> i worry every time i go over a bridge. now look at. this. >> terrifying. >> it is. >> it is get away day for one of the busiest travel weekends of the year according to aaa. nearly 35 million people will be on the move for this memorial day holiday or not moving if the case may be. driving or flying at least 50 miles from home. we have a reporter live in atlanta with more on the busy start to the summer season. how it is looking so far? >> so far so good. we're seeing some heavy volume here near downtown atlanta. but nothing out of the ordinary. i'm sure the situation here is going to be very different as well as in other major cities across the country. now this weekend marks the start of the busy summer travel season. according to aaa, they're expecting a slight dip in the number of travelers this year. they're also expecting fewer people to fly to their destinations. that means most people, about

89%, or 32.1 million people will be traveling or driving to their destination. they'll be hitting the roads today or this weekend for this holiday. that also means that most people will be going to spend time with their families this weekend. we also know that there are some areas that are having special events for this weekend. we know that disney, for example, in florida and in california are opening the theme parks for 24-hour period starting at 6:00 a.m. so a lot of people will be heading out and traveling for memorial day. if you haven't had headed out yet but you plan to, the only thing i can say is be prepared to wait. we are expecting some heavy traffic especially in certain parts of the country. john? >> it is never easy. and the weather in a lot of places is going to make things much more complicated. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> as you said on the tarmac last night, how long after you had already landed? >> 90 minutes. >> oh, my gosh.

>> great to see you this morning. >> we're going to start this morning with breaking news. a bridge collapses in washington state sending cars and people plunging 40 feet into the frigid river. there are injuries and no unwas killed. it was classified as functionally obsolete before it collapsed. this is the disaster unfolding last night. it is where we find katherine barrett who is live for us this morning. let's start with functionally obsolete, what does that mean. >> reporter: what it means is really only that the bridge is out of date. not that it was structural rily unsound. this was an unbridge. it was built in 1955.

like many of the state's bridges, it was in need of repair and replacement. functionally obsolete did not mean unsound, but this is all that's left of a 200 foot section. we've been hearing off and on at these early morning hours the ghostly blare of a truck horn. it all happened last night about 7:00 p.m. local time. >> two vehicles were crossing when it collapsed. the three people in those cars were tossed into the river. fortunately rescue teams arrived quickly plucking them from the waters. this man was on the bridge when

clerk who announced that the jury was hopelessly deadlocked. >> we the jury, in the above and titled action upon our oaths, find having found all of the facts and circumstances that there is no unanimous agreement. jurors who declined to speak with a throng of reporters were emotional and so was judge stevens. >> ladies and gentlemen on behalf of the participants in this trial, thank you for your extraordinary service to this community. this was not your typical trial -- >> that it wasn't. it lasted nearly five months in which arias took the stand for 18 days and made one last plea for her life. there was sexually graphic images and recordings and most

difficult to forget, gruesome forecasts of the stab wounds, the bullet hole, and his neck slashed ear to ear. the judge set the new trial on the death penalty. they will be able to bring up a recent string of interviews. for example, this statement to a ksaz reporter minutes after conviction. >> the worst outcome for me is natural life. i would rather die sooner than later. i would rather get life than death. >> two weeks later she told the jury a different story. >> i thought life in prison was the worst outcome i could have.

>> as arias gestured to her family, they have struggled with the juror's inability to agree. according to the county sheriff, neither will jodi arias. there could be a way out of this mess, and that could be a negotiated settlement. they could take the death penalty off of the table and jodi would agree to a natural life in prison. >> no one knows what is in her mind, she is seizing every moment of this situation. seven minutes past the hour, now to the latest on oklahoma. the first of 24 funerals for storm victims honoring the life of a 9-year-old who died at plaza towers elementary school. in the midst of all of this,

gentle spirit about her. she could find the positive, good, and joy in everything. she was never afraid to speak up or try anything. she would point things out to help people see and understand things in a positive light no matter what the situation is. that is 9-year-old antonia. teaching tools for success, and fostering creativity. these programs are empowering people to lead positive change, and helping them discover how great a little balance can feel. through initiatives like these, our goal is to inspire more than three million people to rediscover the joy of being active this summer. see the difference all of us can make, together. with the innovating and the transforming

retailers have an incentive to lie, because shoppers are susceptible to a bargain. kohl's tell our affiliate that it does not raise off sale prices on a short-term basis for the purpose of a future sales event. as it common from the retail industry, from time to time, product prices are increased due to production and raw material cost increases. so if you close the store down the night before to adjust all of that pricing -- >> yes, you have to be skeptical. you have to be very skeptical. if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. there could be a class action lawsuit about this. i love that, the incentive to lie. it's human nature to want to get a deal. >> memorial day weekend, that's what everybody is doing.
