"cnn newsroom" with carol costello and brooke baldwin begins right now. happening now in the newsroom, bridge collapse, cars plunge into the freezing water below. >> when the dust hit, i saw the bridge start to fall. at that point, forward momentum

carried us over. >> as you head out for memorial day weekend, how safe are you? also, deadlocked. >> you are unable to come to a unanimous decision. >> a courtroom in tears, a judge almost breaking down as jodi arias gets a do over. >> this was not your typical trial. >> plus, dramatic new pictures as a london hackers lunge at police. police open fire, but so questions remain. and miracle in moore. born in the midst of the translation?y brayden emmanuel, god is with us. you are live in the cnn newsroom. and good morning, thank you so much for joining me. i'm carol costello. this morning, we begin with the near tragedy in washington state. and one that could raise questions about your own safety when you get behind the wheel this weekend. this crumpled heap of twisted

metal used to be part of the interstate 5 bridge over the skagit river. all three on the bridge at the time it collapsed survived. the man on the right will relive the terrifying plunge on the water. here is how he described the moments leading up to it. he followed a tractor-trailer with an oversized load. >> when the dust hit, i saw the bridge start to fall, at that point, forward momentum carried us right over, and as you saw the water approaching, it is one of those, hold on as tight as you can, and just a white flash and cold water. definitely cold of this time of the year. >> wow. before the dust even settled, the vehicles were in free fall toward the skagit river.

katharine is at the scene. what are they looking for? >> they are not exactly sure where it slammed into the structure. it's possible i suppose that the structure was on its way to collapsing and fell on that rig. perhaps it was its weight and not the impact. there is a lot they have to tease out of this. there were transportation engineers swarming over the bridge last night and the state has emergency repair crews on call, but all of that will have to wait for national transportation safety board investigators who are on their way here, expected to arrive before midday, local time to try and find out exactly what happened last night at 7:00 p.m. a dramatic scene north of seattle. two vehicles crossing the i-5 bridge when it collapsed. three people inside those cars were tossed into the skagit river. fortunately, rescue teams arrived quickly. plucking them from the fast-moving waters. this man was on the bridge when it folded. >> a big puff of dust, and i hit

the brakes, and the weight of the trailer and everything else, we went right off with the bridge as it collapsed. >> reporter: washington state patrol says right now, their investigation is focused on an 18-wheeler. >> for reasons unknown at this point in time, the semi truck struck the overhead of the bridge, causing the collapse. >> reporter: a team from the national transportation safety board is being sent to the scene to help authorities determine what happened. authorities say the bridge was inspected twice last year, and they say it was in need of repair. this survivor says he's grateful to be alive. >> i'm surprised to be here this evening and glad. >> reporter: many in washington state and in this region are also glad and relieved that with 70,000 estimated to cross this span every day, more people were not injured or worse. back to you, carol. >> this bridge has been

identified as structurally obsolete. why were people continuing to drive over it? >> the phrase they use is functionally obsolete. as bad as that sounds, it doesn't mean structurally unsound it means an outdated design, perhaps it is a little narrower than it might be. a little bit lower clearance, this bridge was inspected twice in the past year, some repairs made. but it had been deemed struct e structurally safe. but it's old. a 58-year-old bridge and perhaps not in the best shape. carol. >> i don't think so. katharine barrett. thank you. we'll talk more about this country's aging infrastructure and what needs to be done to fix it. maybe we should have expected it. after all, it's not your average, every-day trial. the jury has deadlocked in the jodi arias trial and a new jury

will have to decide if arias lives or dies. casey wian with more from phoenix. >> ladies and gentlemen, i understand you have reached a verdict. >> confusion and surprise, even in the voice of the clerk who announced the jury in the jodi arias case was hopefully deadlockeded on the death penalty for the murder of travis alexander. >> we, the jury, in the above entitled action, unanimously find, having considered all of the facts and circumstances that the defendant should be sentenced -- no unanimous agreement. >> reporter: arias sighed as members of alexander's family began to sob. jurors who declined to speak with a throng of reporters covering the trial were emotional and so was judge sherry stefens. >> ladies and gentlemen of the jury, on behalf of the participant, 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 allowed to ask more than200 questions. throughout, there were sexually graphic images and recording 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 stevens set a new trial date on ajuly 18th, only on the question of the death penalty. prosecutors could bring up the recent string of interviews. according to lawyers with death penalty experience. with this interview minutes after the conviction. >> the worst outcome for me, is natural life. i would rather die sooner than later. i said i would rather get death than life, and that's true today. >> reporter: she told the jury a

different story. >> to me, life in prison was the worst possible outcome i could think of, i would rather die. but i can't ask to you sentence me to death because of them. >> reporter: as arias 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 koording to the county sheriff, neither will jodi arias. >> casey wian joins us from outside the courthouse in phoenix, is a new set of jurors the only option here? >> well, probably not, carol. as you can imagine, it would be difficult to find a new set of jurors that has not influenced by the incredible, intense media coverage of this case. one potential way out of this mess is a negotiated settlement, where the prosecution could conceivably take the death penalty off the table, if jodi arias would agree to accept life

in prison without the possibility of release, and possibly give up right to appeal her conviction. we doan know if jodi would take that deal, we also don't know if the travis alexander family would go along with that. they have endured so much, been through so much, being in that courtroom, seeing the graphic testimony, day after day, for five months, carol. >> casey wian, live from phoenix this morning. more on that new jury later on in the hour and ask a jury consultant if that deadlocked juror could have become too emotionally invested after serving in such a long trial. let's get to moore, oklahoma, where the community is struggling to get back on its feet and today they are set to bury more tornado victims. brooke baldwin in moore, good morning, brooke. >> carol, good morning to you. a tough couple of days certainly in moore, oklahoma. let me set the scene. in this neighborhood, day two.

friday. sort of sinking in for people. >> it is. i got here monday night, and i have seen a difference in the people. when we got her monday, people were walking around, shell shocked, like in a days. and it seems like they are tries to move forward, beginning the healing process, trying to rebuild, pick up the pieces. >> dag gone it. >> kenyatta richards considers herself a lucky one. her house in moore is still standing, barely. >> rain caused most of the damage. the ceiling caving in. kids clothes getting wet, beds getting wet. >> reporter: still, not letting that put a damper on memorial day plans. >> it's supposed to be sunny on monday and all of our friends are going to come and i'm going to convince my husband to barbecue in the ms. of all of the rubbage. that's the plan. >> reporter: slowly, the rebuilding is beginning, insurance adjustors are making the rounds. the cost of repairs is estimated

at more than $2 billion with more than 4,000 claims filed as of wednesday. residents are returning to their demolished homes to salvage belongings with volunteers helping them. >> we just found some financial paperwork, tax returns, important documents like that. >> neighbors comforted each other matt hill once had a home. what is left now fits into this bag. >> this xbox, bought the day before the storm, i didn't lose it for myself, bought it for my little brothers. >> reporter: the heavy toll of the tornado felt in other ways. the affect felt in many ways. antonia candelaria laid to rest. and teachers and students said an emotional good-bye. >> we just gave each other big hugs. >> this stuffed lyie lion named

after the five friends she lost. >> sidney, antonia, kyle, janae. >> those are the friends you lost? >> you will hold on that little guy forever. >> so sweet and so sad. >> she talked about her friends that they lost. two of their funerals this morning, brooke. 10:00 a.m. central time. a funeral for kyle davis, 8 years old. and 9-year-old nicholas mccabe. kyle liked to go to monster truck events, play soccer, nicholas mccabe had a love for country music and legos some of sad. and the funerals will continue. certainly a somber memorial day weekend in moore. >> absolutely. pamela brown, thank you so much. carol, so many people are so thrilled to be off this weekend and celebrating, not at all a time of celebration here in moore. >> no, not at all.

brooke baldwin, pamela brown, many thanks to you. a bit of breaking news to pass along to you now. we don't know exactly what it is about. it's curious. in britain right now, a pakistani airliner come in from lahore to the manchester airport was diverted by military fighter jets. in fact, that plane is now being escorted by british fighter jets to stanstead airport, also in britain. we don't know why this happened. why the plane was diverted. why it's being escorted by these british fighter jets, but as you know, the terrible terror attack took place yesterday in britain, london, and have you seen the pictures, we will keep on this, and figure it out. when we get more information, we'll pass it along to you. also ahead, new video shows terror suspects charging at london police. this is what i was talking about. the police charging this hacker.

okay. just getting curiouser now. bits and pieces of information about the pakistani airliner, which is now being escorted to another airport, within uk air space, in fact, a british fighter jet -- actually, let me start at the beginning. pakistani airliner toou due to land at manchester airport. but apparently something on board happened on that plane. the plane being escorted by a british fighter jet and supposed to land in stanstead airport. that's also in britain. we got this statement today from the uk ministry of defense. and i'll read it to you, because i'm not going to parse it until i know exactly what it means. i'll read it to you. these british fighter jets were launched today to investigate an incident involving a civilian, a within uk air space. further details will be provided when known. we have reporters going to stanstead airport in britain, and when they get there, we'll, of course, take them live and

try to get more information. but on that same note, extra security is in place in london after a british soldier hacked to death. and dramatic new video shows two suspects charging at police. they were wounded in a police shoot-out and are now in the hospital. two other people arrested in the case. cnn's dan rivers harmar on one suspect, seen in a jarring piece of video. >> his bloodied image is seared into our brains, brandishing the meat cleaver and knife he is suspected of using to kill a british soldier, but who the michael abedolajo? >> he has been concerned about the affairs of muslims and could not tolerate anybody being oppressed without saying anything. and he felt very frustrated and

helpless when he couldn't. he was very caring, concerned. had a heart for other people and wanted to help everybody. >> reporter: but on wednesday, it appears he wanted to kill. in this video, see him and his alleged accomplice running toward the police, brandishing knifes as if they deliberately waited at the scene to attack the first officers responded. the officers who arrived were armed and shot bathe both men. adebolajo was a fixture at rallies like this one. he converted to islam from christianity four years ago. and rigby was married, adebolajo was in prison.

>> i would condemn the british policy. soldiers have been taken to war, knowing full well that war is a violent in practice and people get killed in war. soldiers are in full knowledge that they could get killed. so britain is the one who is responsible. the government. and i believe all of us of the public, we are responsible. we should condemn ourselves. why did we not do enough to stop the wars. >> you wouldn't condemn his actions? >> only the cause of this, aggressor, the occupier. the british government, the british troops. >> but this young soldier, lee rigby, who paid the price for such extremism. cnn understand spies at the british security service were aware of adebolajo and his accomplice, but there was

nothing to indicate that either men were about to strike in such an appalling way. >> dan rivers is live in london. so did these suspect act alone, or is there evidence to tie them to a larger group? >> at the moment, they are telling us that they were aware of both both men for several years. and at the moment they found no evidence that they are part of a wider network. the fear they are lone wolf, self-radic self-radicalized, the jargon that is used. that they have been gradually drawn in to extremist calls. radicalized by watching extremist videos and at some point have decided to go beyond simply attending protests as you saw in my report there, and actually carrying out a violent attack. >> dan rivers, live in london this morning. thank you. also trying to find out more

point the finger at congress for creating hurdles. >> i have tried to close gitmo. transferred 67 detainees to other country before congress imposed restrictions to effectively prevent us from transferring detainees to other countries or imprisoning them here in the united states. >> reporter: the president first pledged to close gitmo during his 2008 campaign, and again when he took office in 2009. but it remains open, and the situation more you urgent than ever as detainees continue a hunger strike. to ease the weight of closing the facility, president obama is nounsed he is lifting detainee transfers to yemen. >> i know the politics are hard, but history will cast a harsh judgment on this aspect of our fight against terrorism and those of us who failed to end it. >> senator john mccain, who the president likes to remind americans that he supports closing gitmo.

he says there is a lot more to closing the doors. >> there is no cohive plan to closing guantanamo bay. >> reporter: the detainee policy has been labeled by some as a failure. the organization of the heckler has praised her. she want the same thing as the president, but has gotten tired of waiting. >> i love my country! i love the rule of law! >> i want to ask you one more question about the heckler. this was an invited only event. how did she get in? >> reporter: from what we understand, she has had a pass, gave a different name when she arrived. she went through the same way that other press would try to register for an event and got in that way. >> but she's a known protester. didn't they recognize her? >> reporter: that's correct. >> she's been everywhere.

interrupted dozens of congressional hearings and other speeches. >> reporter: that's correct. clearly she found a way to sneak through, got in. >> unbelievable. president obama in a half hour will tackle another tough subject. sexual harassment and assaults within the military. >> reporter: that's right. senior administration official telling me the president will address this issue, during his commencement address at the naval academy in annapolis. the president getting ready to leave the white house now. this issue is one he is very vocal about in recent weeks and high-level meetings at the white house, concerns not only here at the white house on this, but also at the pentagon after high-profile incidents, specifically involving some of the leadership that is charged with dealing with this issue, the president expected to address this during the commencement address as he speaks to young people, some of whom will be future leaders in the military, carol. >> dan lothian, reporting live from the white house. richard quest in london,

talking about the breaking news we've been talking about the last few minutes. a pakistani airport diverted to another airport, escorted by a fighter jet. we don't know why. some sort of incident happened on that airplane. richard quest in london. do you know more? >> reporter: well, yes and no. i mean, i can tell you a lot of detail about where the plane was going from and to. from lahore in pakistan. it's pakistan international airways flight 709. lahore to manchester. in the northwest of england. 297 passengers on board. i can even sort of show you a -- you know, what happened. the aircraft goes over the english channel, across the coast of uk, into the english midlands and instead of going up toward manchester, it suddenly goes north, turns round to the top and am some point in there, it is escorted by typhoon

fighters from the royal air force. it then heads south, over the eastern part of england, toward stansted airport in the southeast of the country, and landed there a short time ago. and that's a lot of facts about what happened, what we don't know is why, other than there was an incident on board. that can range the gamut from full-scale terrorist activity, right the way through to drunken abusive passengers, who caused a threat to the aircraft. >> and would it be possible, and a lot of what happened in recent days in london with the terrible murder that took place on the public street, might authorities in britain be a little, i don't know, nervous? and that's maybe why a british fighter jet escorted this plane to another airport in stansted? >> absolutely no doubt, none

whatsoever, about what you just said. security levels have risen in uk. the threat level is high already. and as a result of what took place on the streets of woolwich in south london earlier this week, no question, that any form of activity. the british prime minister, david cameron, no stone will be left unturned and everything done to ensure the safety of servicemen and the country. with that in mind, there can be no doubt that a highened state of alert would increase the risk response and the threat response in an incident like this. >> all right. we also have reporters on the way to that airport to see exactly what is going on. richard quest, thank you very much.

set to land in britain at plan chester airport when something happened aboard the plane. a british fighter jet escorted that plane to another airport. diverted the plane to stansted in britain, in essex, east of london. we are wondering what this all means? we don't know. are authorities just a little nervous in light of the terrible hacking of the soldier. we want to bring in fran townsend to talk more about this? is it extreme that a british fighter jet would escort this plane to another airport? >> reporter: carol, let's put it in context for our american audience. oftentimes if there is a garden variety unruly passenger, here in the united states we scramble jets to bring it in. a person of interest on the plane because there is a late hit on a terror watchlist, we escort a plane.

really scramble jets for people remember the abdulmutallab underwear bomber, rarely an extreme incident like that that causes jets to be scrambled. that's the american context. a couple of things of real concern. the brit tissue ish do this far rarely than americans. secondly, a plane from pakistan, lahore, pakistan that is of concern and third, you rightly point out, carol, given the events -- the horrible events earlier this week, the assault against a british soldier, the british are on high alert. we ought to presume because of the caution of british authorities in doing this sort of an activity, they had some reason. there is either someone of interest on that plane, there is -- there is a reason. the other thing is, the fact that they didn't want that plane to come into central london to the main airport, diverted it to

an airport east where they would have more control, further away from central london, is also an indication of security concerns. we have to gather more facts on the ground, but we can expect a very specific reason that british authorities scrambled this jet and decided to divert it. >> why so much concern over lahore, pakistan? >> reporter: i think actually, car carol, any city, lahore, caracchi, would have been of concern out of that region. in the tribal areas, the taliban and remnants of al qaeda are still there. along the northwest border of pakistan, bordering afghanistan. some concerns regardless. that's particularly true of karachi and lahore, because of the concentration of extremists

in that area. so i suspect because of where it's coming from and the concentration of extremists that the coalition is battling there, that raises particular concerns for the british. >> fran townsend, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> thanks, carol. still ahead on "the newsroom," part of a busy interstate bridge collapses, and drivers plunge to the river below. we'll tell you if you are safe, next. we went out and asked people a simple question: how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed much is the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪

and brought to stansted airport. why stansted? stansted is the airport that authorities in britain often use or have used in the past when there have been incidents when aircraft have been hijacked or security incident on board. stansted outside london there is a large amount of runway space there, and in the past, aircraft that vein intercepted removed to a remote runway and count every terrorism officers there rehearse there and have in the past, been able to get aboard aircrafted and deal with aircrafts where there are security incident on board the aircraft. stansted is an airport where they have the space, the expeex he's, practice, and plan to put in place whatever security procedures may be required. the question with this aircraft, a possibility of loss of

communication between the ground and the pilot or the cabin on board the aircraft. details at the moment are still sketchy. essex police who have jurisdiction over stansted airport, say there was an incident on board of some description and authorities are dealing with it we expect further updates, carol. >> thank you, nic robertson reporting live. back to our own country. in washington state, investigators looking into the collapse of part of this bridge. drivers driving over the bridge when it collapsed. somehow all three drivers survives as they plunged into the skagit river. each day, 70,000 vehicles cross over the span. one survivor, falling an oversized tractor-trailer when it slammed into the structure. >> when the dust hit, i saw the bridge start to fall, at that

poir point, forward momentum carried us right over, and you saw the water approaching, there was one of those -- you hold on as tight as you can, and just the white flash and cold water. it was definitely cold this time of the year. >> the bridge collapse, the latest incident to raise troubling questions about the nation's infrastructure and whether they are aggressively inspected. a bridge collapsed in minneapolis in rush hour, 13 people died, 145 more injured. it was a design flauchl a couple years after that, inspections turned up a cracked piece of structural steel on the bay bridge in san francisco. the emergency closure led to the discovery of more problems, not uncommon for a bridge more than 70 years old. and that brings us to our guest. the nation's infrastructure, crumbling all around us. barry la potner, is a lawyer and author on the up subject.

>> reporter: good morning, carol. >> this isn't your take. even federal experts say the problem is scary. >> enough data from top-flight engineers who design and seek to maintain our bridges to show that this is another example of our perilous infrastructure and a totally avoidable and tragic accident. >> and i want to -- i want to draw your attention to the bridge over the skagit river, the one that just collapsed. authorities had labeled it functionally obsolete. >> functionally obsolete as for condition rating of a bridge does not necessarily it make it unsafe. what it does indicate, there are serious failures because of lack

of maintenance and in fact, a bridge that is designed in 1955 could never have contemplated heavy, 18-wheeler trucks and the designs of the lanes themselves could be much shorter and permit a truck that is errant to hit a portion of the bridge. what is totally, totally unacceptable. is that bridges today have redundancy, so where you have something hitting a structural element, there is other supports to keep the bridge up. here, you saw a bridge sheared away, went straight down upon impact. and that's something bridge engineers understand, but politicians are not funning the needed recollect sit, remedial work to prevent these failures. >> what is really sad. they probably will now, now that the bridge collapsed and three

drivers went into the water. >> oh, tragically and sadly i have to disagree with you. we have had nearly 600 bridge failures since 1989. we have seen what happened to the i-35w, which is one of 8,000 bridges in our nation that is not only structurally deficient, which is worse than functionally obsolete, but fracture critical, meaning they could go down at a moment's notice, just like this. our politicians turn their back on this and don't see infrastructure as a high priority. and the american public, and our economic system, is paying a terrible price. >> barry, thank you so much. we appreciate you being with us this morning. >> my pleasure, carol. >> thank you so much. an update on the plane diverted in britain, according to uk security sources, early indications say this is not a

terrorist-related incident. british fighter jet diverted this plane from pakistan no a smaller airport near essex so authorities could wrap their head around what happened on the plane. authorities say this is not a terrorist-related incident. and i'm sure that everyone is grateful that it was not. more information also after nearly five months of testimony. the jurors in the jodi arias trial become too emotionally invested. we'll ask the jury consult about. consultanconsultant.

not to decide based on packs or prejudice. they're instructed to do that. yet, they hear wrenching testimony both from family members as well as jodi arias, so it is the principal of whether they are for the death penalty or whether it is personal for them. it is very difficult for jurors. so i guess i am not surprised they could fought derive at a decision. >> we just heard from the jury foreman on abc news. i want you to listen to what he said, seeing the jodi arias, the defendant, for the first time. >> when i walked in the courtroom the first time and looked at who the defendant was, you know, it's hard to put that in perspective when you look at a young woman and think of the crime. then you see the brutality of the crime. it doesn't wash. so it's very difficult. >> so just take us through what exactly he said. because the same jury, as you said, convicted jodi arias of murder. yet, to look at her, even after

months and months of testimony and all those gory crime scene pictures the jury saw, perhaps, some of the jurors still had in their minds this young, frail, confused woman. >> i think that's right, carol. in the last 40 years, there has been approximately 8,300 death penalty convictions. less than 2% of those are actually of women. less than or about half of a percent of those women have actually been executed and i think it goes fundamentally to the fact that it's very difficult, society atly that wily women have a hard time reconciling this picture of them, a young, seemingly looking innocent woman and the brutality of the crime. i think that disparity sits with this jury, makes it very difficult for them to reconcile those two differences. makes it hard to also then go to the next step and actually sentence her to death. >> so a new jury will be seated.

the new jury will only decide the death penalty phase of this trial. so tahey'll get to go over the lay testimony in the trial -- will this jury be better equipped emotionally to come to a decision? >> well, i don't think so. i think there are a couple things that will happen before that. first of all, an 8:4 deadlock is quite a big challenge for the prosecutors. they have to talk to the families and say, folks, do you want to go through this again and maybe have the same results the next time? that's a challenge, in itself. the family has gone through so much already. the second aspect is selecting this jury, finding 12 people who haven't heard about this or haven't heard about it don't have an opinion about it. there is a lot of hurdles the prosecution and the defense have to get to that next step. >> richard gabrielle, thanks so

much. >> thank you, carol. just ahead in our next hour of "newsroom," it's anning a newsing decision for many people. our own has decided to have the surgery to remove her breaths.

and good morning, i'm carol

costello. we want to get right back to that breaking news out of a pakistani airplane was diverted to essex airport by a british fighter jet. these are new pictures we are getting in from reuters. this is over stansted airport. this is where that pakistani airliner eventually had to land as it was escorted in. we understand two men aboard the plane have been taken into custody. nick roberts has more information. nic robertson, what can you tell us? what are these men accused of? >> reporter: we're not aware of what they have accused of. what we have heard from a british source is it the at this early stage, they say, they don't believe that the incident is terror-related. two men taken from the aircraft, arrested by essex police. we believe there were close to 300 people on board the aircraft when it was diverted, escorted by a fighter aircraft and brought in to land at stan ted

airfield. the fact that the police have been able to move into the aircraft and arrest people so swiftly does seem to st. that whatever the incident, it did not have a huge security -- immediate security implication. that meaning that there wasn't some sort of standoff information. the police at the stansted airport the airport, itself, is an airport used for just that sort of event weight. the -- event weight. -- eventuality. it does indicate there wasn't a hostile standoff of any sort. again, the details are just coming in. we don't know precisely why an arrest. a disturbance possibly of some kind on the aircraft, carol. >> i just want to be clear, have authorities rolled out terrorism? >> they haven't said that, precisely. what they have said is, at this early stage, this doesn't appear

to be terror-related. possibly, the authorities are acting on an abundance of caution here because of the terrorist killing just a couple of days ago in london. certainly, the security services here have been put on heightened alert. more police on the street. increased security around military bases and possibly the fact that this airliner, this boeing 777 en route from lahore, pakistan, whatever incident on board you, on abundance of caution giving it an escort and diverting it to an airfield where the counterterrorism police have practiced and executed counterterrorism in relation to aircraft that have been hijacked or otherwise taken control of. carol. >> all right, nic robertson reporting live for us this morning. now, let's head back home to the investigation, to a near tragedy in washington state that could raise questions about your own safety when you get behind a wheel. the crumbled twisted metal used

to be a part of the bridge over the skagit river near mount ver none. somehow, all three drivers on the bridge at the time it collapsed survived. you can see this man on the right, right here. you will hear him relive his terrifying plunge into the water. first the moments leading up to it as he followed a tractor-trailer with an overseized load. >> when the dust hit, i saw the bricks start to fall at that point. forward momentum carried us right over and as you saw the water approaching, it's just one of those, you hold on as tight as you can and just a white flash and cold water. god, it was definitely cold this time of the year. >> before that dust even settled, the vehicles were in free fall towards the river. katherine barry is at the scene along with lots of investigators. katherine, if witnesses say they slammed into the structure. what more are they looking for?

>> reporter: well, they're going to be looking at exactly, first of all, how it happened, perhaps also the structural integrity of the rest of the bridge that is still standing. it's not clear whether something, whether a truck hit part of the bridge and knocked it down or perhaps the bridge fell down from the weight of the truck. there are a lot of questions. there are a lot of witnesses that they will probably want to speak with. the truck driver of the oversized rig that is suspected to have contributed in some way to this is cooperating with authorities. but again, the causes are not known. we did speak a moment ago with u.s. congresswoman susan dell vetti who represents this district. she said it points up the need for a natural conversation about investments in infrastructure. again, ntsb investigators will be here looking to explain how a rolling throughway turned into this wreckage. a dramatic scene north of seattle. two skrooex vehicles were

crossing the i-5 bridge when it collapsed. three people inside those cars were tossed into the skagit river. fortunately, rescue teams arrived quickly, plucking tell from the fast moving waters. this man was on the bridge when it folded. >> there was a big puff of dust and i hit the brakes. the weight of the trailer and everything else, we went right off with the bridge as it collapsed. >> reporter: washington state patrol says right now their investigation is focused on an 18-wheeler. >> for reasons unknown at this point in time, the semi truck struck the overhead of the bridge, causing the collapse. >> reporter: a team from the national transportation safety board is being sent to the scene to help authorities determine what happened. authorities say the bridge was inspected twice last 84 and they say it was in need of repair. this survivor says he's grateful to be alive. >> i am surprised to be here this evening and glad.

>> reporter: well, even more miraculous, when you look at the trucks and one truck and car that are under the bridge tangled up in the wreckage half suffering in frigid, frigid water, one of those trucks is making sort of ghostly emissions every now and then. its horn apparently short circuited about the water. i blares about once an hour, calling attention to itself, again, sitting there, tangled in the wreckage. that's all going to have to be cleared out to see if it can be repaired if fought replaced. >> all right. thank you. after nearly five months, jodi arias does not know her fate. the convictled killer held back tears after the jury could not agree on a sentence and the judge declared a mistrial. the family went openly. a few jury will be called in to decide arias' fate. ashleigh banfield is in phoenix. it's just unbelievable. we did hear from the jerry

foreman this morning on abc. he called jury discussions gut wrenching. but did he say why jurors could fought come to a decision? >> reporter: you know, he alluded to it. he mostly spoke about his own opinion, which tells you that this is a very responsible juror. he did speak about what he thought about jodi arias' 18 days on the stand. didn't think much of it. also tellingly, carol, he did say that he, at least in his opinion, believed the stories that jodi arias was, in fact, the victim of physical and mentmen mental abuse. again, with an 8:4 split, it's hard to tell why people felt they t way they did. he pointed out you'd have to be pretty tough inside if you can stand 6-feet away from someone an fought feel something. pretty important stuff when you talk about being in a courtroom compared to watching this sort

of thing play out on television. have a listen to how he put it. >> i think 18 days hurt her. i think she was not a good witness. >> because? >> we go into, we are charged with going into presuming innocence, right? but she was on the stand for so long, there were so many krix contradicting stories. i don't think it did her any good, no, that length of time, no, i don't think it did her any good at all. >> no, he went on, carol, to say that have you no emotion and no soul. if you weren't able feel something being about 6-feet away from someone speaking with you. carol, do not forget here that, during her allocution, she was so close to that jury. she chose not to get up on the stand, instead deliver an alocaution, wandering away from a podium, standing close to these jurors. so now, here we go again, so to speak. it's a mistrial only for the

penalty phase, carol. it means the judge could empanel a new set of jurors. that's scheduled for mid- to late-july. you know what, even though the county attorney said we intend to go forward and retry this phase, you just never know. you just never know whether this family will beg and plead to have it all stop or they will beg and plead to get what they want, which is a death penalty, according to many. >> regardless, though, the trial won't reseoul until what, mid-july? >> reporter: yeah. we got a status conference coming up towards the end of june. i think it's june 20th. it's set with regard to what that county attorney did say. lord, i don't think it happened so quickly, it was just within an hour after all of this transpired in the courtroom, they put out an official statement saying at this time we intend to proceed with the plans of retrying the penalty phase. but, you know, there has been no conference, no discussions so early on with the family, et

cetera. with the prosecutor. i want to remind everybody watching the prosecutor in this case has already put one woman on death row. she is one of three sitting there right now. so a lot of people say she has nothing to lose. >> we will see, ashleigh banfield, reporting live from phoenix. thanks, ash leak. coming up next in the newsroom, we will head back to oklahoma as heart-broken families bury the tornado's youngest victims. all business purchases. so you can capture your receipts, and manage them online with jot, the latest app from ink. so you can spend less time doing paperwork. and more time doing paperwork. ink from chase. so you can.

>> president obama is speaking out on his national security strategy as his administration fights the war on terror. included in the president's remarks, the challenges to closing the detention center at guantanamo bay. and he pointed the finger at congress for that. but one audience member, a code pink activist had a bit of a different perspective. more now from white house correspondent dan lothian. >> reporter: the pressure to

close the detention facility at guantanamo bay didn't let up, even when president obama was delivering his highly anticipated speech on national security. >> you are our commander-in-chief. can you goes e close guantanamo bay today. >> reporter: the head of the code pink group interrupted the president repeatedly. >> once again. >> there are 100 people on hunger strikes. these are desperate people. >> i must address it, ma'am, you got to let me speak. >> reporter: the president says the issues she raised are worth paying attention to, but make sure to point the finger at congress for the hurdles. >> i tried to close gitmo. before congress imposed restrictions to effectively prevent us from either transferring detainees to other countries or imprisoning tell here in the united states. >> reporter: the president first pledged to close gitmo during his 2008 pain and campaign and again when he took office in when to. it remains opened, the situation

is more urgent than ever as the detainees continue a hunger streak. to ease the way to closing the facility, president obama announced he is lifting a ban on detainee transfers to yemen. >> i know the politics are hard, but history will cast a harsh judgment on this aspect of our fight against terrorism and those of us who fail to end it. >> reporter: but republican for john mccain, as the president likes to remind americans, also supports closing gitmo, suggested there is a lot more to it than just shutting the door. >> the administration never came up with a coherent or a cohesive plan to close guantanamo bay. that's why it is still opened. >> other top republicans labelled the administration's policy a failure. the heckler whose organization praised her in a tweet for quote speaking the truth of barack obama seems to want the same thing as the president but has apparently grown tired of waiting. >> i love my country. i love the rule of law.

>> dan lothian joins me now from the white house and i'm just wondering, how did this heckler get into the speech in the first place? wasn't it invite only? >> reporter: it was and it's based on the full reports that we received. she had some sort of credential similar to what the reporters covering the event would have. how she was able to get the credential on the list unknown at this time, carol. >> i will ask their e her that question, thank you. joining seems to me the woman who made headlines along with president obama. her name is medea benjamin. she's an activist and co-founder of code pink, an anti-war group. welcome. >> hi, thanks for having me on the show. >> so how did you get in? >> first i want to take objection with the term "heckler." i actually had an invitation to get in. i compete e felt compelled to get in. i waited until the end of the speech.

i didn't hear what many of us thought we were going to hear. >> you clearly interrupted the president, tow, that would be heckling. >> well, i don't call it heckling. i call it speaking out because the president is not implementing policies that we need to see changed. i've written books on tease issues, including one called "drone warfare." i go around talking to people around the country, around the world. i went to pakistan -- >> it seems the president was changing his tone on gitmo and on drones, so you were kind of getting what you wanted anyway, so why go into this speech and heckle him when he's kind of talking in a way that you should welcome? >> well, we didn't hear the policy changes that had been predicted, for example, that he would take the drones out of the hands of the cia, a nonmilitary organization that has been killing so many innocent people that he would stop the authorization of signature strikes, which means kick people on the basis only of suspicious

behavior that's led to the killing of many innocent people. he did not say that he was going to begin the release immediately of the 86 people who have been cleared for release by the department of defense, justice, fbi, cia, homeland security. he -- >> they don't have simple solutions. the president can't act on his own. >> of course, he can. they have simple solutions. if 86 people have been cleared, he could say tomorrow i am beginning the release of these people. there is a waiver system that congress put in place that the president has failed to use. he could immediately release those 86 people and he needs to do that. he could immediately save the cia has been misusing the drones and i am now making sure that it will only be the military that uses them. he can say, we are going to account for all the -- >> again, he was going down that, okay. let me ask you this again, it sounded to me like the president

was going down that road, anyway. he was giving this important policy speech that, frankly, americans needed to hear. so again, you know, i ask, i posed the question on my facebook paige and asked tell what i wanted to ask you. a lot said you were hurting your own cause, one, you appeared rude to the president of the united states, two, you just seemed a little crazy. >> well, i've gotten a fabulous response. i think killing innocent people with drones is ruchltd i think keeping innocent people in detention for 11 years is rude. i think not respecting the lives of muslim people who are killed is hud. there are a lot of rude things about our policies, speaking out is actually fought rude, but it's the basis of a democratic society where people use their voices to try to make our

country better and our policies more in lean with the rule of law. >> i don't think i will disagree with you. i would think some americans at least say there is a time and a place. >> exactly. i have been waiting for over five years when the president said he was going to close guantonomo. the time for words is over. it's time for action. he is the commander-in-chief. he can do this on his own. >> all right. medea benjamin with code pink. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me in. >> for more on the protest visit cnn.com because medea has been protesting at a lot of meetings in washington, d.c. and beyond. we'll be right back. we raise black and red angus cattle. .

>> good morning. thank you so much for being with us. i'm carol costello. the text messages from martin's cell phones include messages of pot, fighting and guns. the testimony of george zimmerman, he was charged with second degree murder in the teenager's death. cnn's dait david mattingly has more. >> you seen these texts? what do they say? >> reporter: it's impossible to think that trayvon martin may have given george zimmerman some of what the jury needs that he's not a murderer.

are these the photographs of a troubled and violent teen. pictures and text messages from trayvon martin's phone made public by george zimmerman's testimony suggest the teen was into guns and fighting and pot. >> he has been familiar with fighting and used drugs and he has as well. >> reporter: three months before he encountered george zimmerman, trayvon martin sends text messages saying his opponent didn't bleed enough, only his nose. less than a we'd, he texted. i hid my weed. it's wrapped. i got weed and i get money friday. the attorney for martin's family says the messages the images and their implications are irrelevant. >> are they trying to say, george zimmerman was justified in killing trayvon martin because the way he looked? it's that same stereotypical

mindset that caused george zimmerman to get out of the car and chase trayvon martin. that just isn't acceptable in america. >> reporter: trayvon martin was unarmed the night he was shot and killed by george zimmerman. but a week before, he seems to be selling an automatic pistol and apparently turns down an offer of $150. like everything in this case, nothing is really simple. everything we just saw is possible a jury may never see those pictures or those text messages. because if they just stick to the facts of what was going on the that fight and who was the aggressor, it is possible they may never need to get into those photos. but if the prosecution goes after george zimmerman's character, tries to paint him as a racial profiler or something like that the defense is pretty much saying, look, we got all this material. we can attack trayvon martin just as much. >> so the trial will start in june, we think, if there is not a delay. those picture, though, they're out there on the internet.

they got to seat a jury. >> that's right. that's right. it's not going to be an easy task here. because this case has gotten so much attention. they were able to do it in a number of high profile cases in florida. they will be able to do it here as well. >> david mattingly, thanks to you. just ahead, choosing to have your breasts removed to avoid dyeing from cancer. cnn takes us into personal decisions and introduces us to others who have made that same agonizing choice.

surgery. zoraida, i want to wish you luck. >> reporter: i really present that, carol. a lot of people have been wishing me luck and saying prayers. the reason i arrived at the decision, why am i having a double mastectomy? i decided to go to chicago, at this time down with my doctors and share the reason i arrived at this decision. meantime, i met with the youngest girl ever. she was 23 at the time. she is 30 now. she decided to have a double mastectomy because of the same situation with angelina jolie, she tested positive for the zween e gene. >> reporter: it starts with a shadowy figure on a screen. suddenly, your life unwinds. >> this we know was cancer. >> that's how it happened to me. >> any of these other spots in either breasts can be the same thing. they can be benign, malignant. we don't know ro all the doctors

know is this one dot has incapsulated cancerous sales. it's called ductoincarcinoma cyt 02. all the blue blips captured the in screenings could very well signal cancer or be nothing at all. >> you have a four-five times greater risk to develop breast cancer than the average woman. >> it's led me to that decision to do the procedure that led a lot of people fearing mastectomy. i fear the left breath, but the tissue my doctors say looks speshs in my right breasts. >> your whole thing is you don't want to die of breast cancer. >> no. >> so that's the bottom lean. >> so this is my great monday mother lillian and sandra. >> they both died. >> a week apart of breast cancer. >> lindsay abner had no signs of breast cancer within she 81 went

a double mostectomy at 23. she did have fear. >> within i was 12, my mother was found positive of breast cancer and ten month later of ovarian cancer. these have stocked me with fears. >> reporter: it showed she carried the same mutation that predisposes women to breast cancer, the one discovered in angelina jolie. >> the anxiety of waiting to get cancer vs. doing something to reduce my risk of developing it is what prompted me to have the decision to have the double mastectomy. >> reporter: lindsay's organization, bright pink, advocates a breast reduction. that makes sense in women with a gene mutation. having to remove it in a woman without the gene is more complicated. >> we really don't have any good evidence that removing a healthy breast will help a woman prolong her life or live a better life. so a lot of what drives those decisions is related to anxiety about a new tumor on the other

side. >> reporter: a lumpectomy followed by radiation is the most common way to treat my breast cancer. the survival rates are similar to those who choose mastectomies. i was not comfortable with my scans. >> i want to show everybody my mris. >> reporter: i didn't want biopsy, potentially missed cancers and years of anxietys and screenings. would you have recommended for me to have a double mostectomy. >> zoraida, i would recommend it since that was your choice after looking at all the documentation you looked at. >> reporter: he makes the decisions based on fact, not fear. but that doesn't pine personal considerations won't play a role. so the fear factor. >> one is the fear of having a cancer. then there is the fear of the intervention, itself. there is the fear of losing your breast. what will my husband or boyfriend think about me? what will i think about myself? how will my sexuality be affected? women that have a fear are more

enkleined to want to save their breasts unless stay there a diagnosed cancer in it. >> i have to say one of the most empowering things through this entire process, carol, is i have been able to make these decisions based on the information surrounding me. as dr. wood said at the end of the day, that's what you want to do. you want to gather all the information you have and make the best decision that is right for you. i want to mention, we will have a cnn crew following the surgery. i'm going to share as much as i can what it's like to get through this procedure and to get on the other side of it and, you know, whatever the results are once it's all complete. >> wow, you are incredibly brave woman. that's really, i mean, that's great of you. i'm sure there are so many other women out there struggling with the same decision that you struggled with. so tell me, how long will the surgery take and then when might you be back? >> well, the surgery, itself, i will probably be in surgery four-and-a-half to five-and-a-half hours. i go into recovery.

i finally get to see my family afterwards. as far as returning, you know, that's a conversation i've had with the doctor, but he's really skeptical to give me a date. he feels i will hold them to it. he says anywhere between 6 to 9 weeks. so i'm hoping sooner than later. >> no, you take it easy. >> no, no, no, you take it easy. we'll all be waiting for you. do not worry. >> thank you. i appreciate it. i appreciate all the support, cramer. i appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to tell thester on your show as well. >> any time. we will be following your story. thank you so much, zoraida sam bolen. we'll be back in a machininute ♪ in other words . carol, i'm going.
