officials haven't begun to estimate the full extent of the damage. over the weekend, president obama declaring a major disaster while his state's governor touring the devastation, his helicopter rescuing seven people. >> we will rebuild better than it was before. >> reporter: but mother nature isn't helping rescue efforts. clouds and heavy rain grounded air rescue missions sunday. more than a thousand people have yet to be evacuated and with roads and bridges crumbleing under the deluge, for some, rescue by air is the only way out. >> i think what we have going on here in the last 44 hours is the greatest number of americans rescued by helicopter since hurricane ka try fa. >> reporter: entire neighborhoods like this one in james town isolated. cities like aurora already plagued by flooding continued with hail that mum pummelled the area over the weekend. officials in boulder county

alone say they will need an estimated $150 million to repair more than 100 miles of lost roadway and between 20 and 30 bridges. seen in colorado is devastating but not hopeless. >> the question i had is how can we ever recover from this? i know exactly inch by inch mile by mile community by community. >> so from the story we covered friday here on "new day" all the way to today, it has been a wild couple of days. 2450es are early estimates. we can say some 19,000 homes either damaged or destroyed from this storm system. we do know the rescue operation is expected, kate, to resume today. >> all right. george, thanks so much for starting us off. as george mentioned, 19,000 homes zajd or destroyed. six people dead at this point. this disaster battling colorado is far from over this morning.

hundreds of people stranded or unblthed for and no way to help them. right now, here is our anna cabrera. >> reporter: the desperation continues to find the missing. this morning, rescue crews still struggling to reach communities cut off t. barriers, dangerously high rushing water, ripped up roads and mud filling up homes. heart wrenching images like these are disturbingly abundant. yet, we haven't seen the worst of the destruction. places like james town have been completely off limits, the terrain rugged, rocky, steep, acceptable by brief breaks in the rain. >> i was worried. >> her husband and son were trapped in that zone for two days on a 5th grade field trip when the floods hit. >> something just took a waterfall. rubbed out the sky like niagara falls, just put down there on the road. >> reporter: 10-year-old luka learned the camp was destroyed. while the camp, itself, was

spared, he and his 77 classmates had no way home. teacher shannon burger says the adults hashed a plan. >> they figured that we could hike out, which would have been three-and-a-half, four miles with our kids with some water crossings, that we would need harnesses and all of that. >> reporter: but their escape would not need harnesses, instead, the national guard came to the rescue. >> the helicopters. those were the best. >> reporter: four shinook helicopters arrived. >> everyone was cheering. it was very fun, very celebratory. >> reporter: they know they are among the lucky ones. too many families have no home to return to. anna cabrera, cnn, colorado. >> thanks, to anna. you heard this has been the

largest air rescue since hurricane katrina. we are looking at guests to give us context. retoird lieutenant general russell onaray. he led the task force in that aftermath and devastating hurricane struck the gulf coast. also authored, leadership is the new normal, live from baton rouge, louisiana. thank you very much for joining under the circumstances, sir. >> good morning, chris. >> first, let's give a little bit of positive context to what we are hearing out of colorado. the unaccounted number. people feel terrible within they hear that. are all those people gone? give us a little perspective on why they are unaccounted for. >> because nobody, no one has spoke to them. people who know where they live have no communications with them. one of the biggest challenges now is for the national guard and first responders to be able to communicate with people and the result of the array and flooding has taken out much of the communication. so it's people they don't know

because nobody has talked to them. >> that is the problem. >> but that number can go up or down. it doesn't mean they're all lost, there is cause for hope there, right, sir in. >> absolutely. are you talking about a very resill ynt community on the -- resilient community on the front range, being isolated from the heavy snows that can get in there. that's the good news. the other good news is we elected, the colorado national guard have some of the high altitude pilots we have in the nation. as a matter of fact, we sent people there to train before they go off to afghanistan to learn how to fly to in that terrain. they will get in there. get it done, have the capacity under general barnes to bring in even more national guard and federal helicopters as needed and when the weather breaks. >> one of the things you understand very well from katrina is the di the i with evacuations. there are a lot of evac orders going on in colorado right now. what makes that a complicated effort? >> well, no. 1, people who don't

know what's going on really none of them have lost communication and reenforce the fact that red cross talk about having you informed. >> that being said, the other part is you got some people evacuating, chris, you got other people that still node to be rescued and this weather has not broken sufficiently. so they can get in there. every home, every building that's been evacuated will have to be entered by a search and rescue team to be sure no one is in that home. so there is much work that can be done and this us now could get worse before it gets better, which is sustained rain and as that water flow outst mountains into the low ground, chris. >> a lot of people are saying, we know we are told to evacuate. i'm not leaving my property. there is something people can do to mark water that you know very well. what's the advice for how people c'mon tore whether or not to leave their own home and make the decision to get out. >> if you live near stream or a

creek or a river now, you want to make sure you understand, take you some sticks, put them on at the edge of the water, every 10 feet put a stick between you and your home. >> that way you can tell if that river is rising a first-hand you still have time to evacuate, you can get out. particularly at night, can you not tell if that river is rising or the creek is rising. >> that is a technique we use in the army. >> thank you very much for the per suspecttive. hopefully the weather abates so with get it under control so we don't live through anything like we lived down south before. thank you on "new day." >> mexico is getting battered on both side today. tropical storm manuel attacking from the west and hurricane ingrid from the east. both storms dumping lots of rain and fatal landslide with it. more than 20 people have been killed and thousands have been forced to leave their homes this morning. parts of the u.s. are also feeling the storm. let's go straight to ingrid

scene that broke out near new york's time's square saturday night. shots ringing out as police try to pursue an emotionally disturbed man in a crowded intersection. >> oh my good! >> a woman next to her went from shocked to shot. >> i kind of got hysterical at that point. i started crying. i realized this is real. that's when it became extremely real for me when i saw someone injured. >> officers were trying to arrest 35-year-old glenn broadknacks. the fire missed him and hit two bystanders. >> i froze in fear. i stopped. >> she snatched this photo with a woman in a walker. the other took a grazed wound on her back side. investigators say the man was disoriented, weaveing through traffic and seemingly throwing himself in the path of oncoming

traffic. and then. >> he put his hands in his pocket, took out his hand and simulateing shooting at the officers. >> that's when all bets were off. police responded with gunfire. >> oh! >> this isn't the first time new york city police were forced to fire on the crowded streets of the city, mistakenly injuring bystanders last august, nine pedestrians were wounded when police fired shots outside the empire state building at a man that killed a former co-worker. as for this man, he told police he had a mission to kill himself. it does not appear to have a history of mental illness. he is facing a slew of charges, including criminal possession of a controlled substance and resisting arrest. this is not the first time he's had a run-in with police. he has a long rap sheet that includes at lowest 23 arrests. that's according to nypd.

those two women who were shot, they were transported to the hospital in stable condition. what a nightmare. >> kind of beyond believe it can be happening out in front of you as you are walking down the street. no matter what city do you live in? do you stop and run, duck in one of those things. >> thank you so much. so terrifying. coming up next on "new day, the president's pick on the federal reserve chairman, withdrawing his name from the nomination. why larry somers pulled his name from the white house to pick another candidate. we will be looking at the costa concordia. engineers are trying to right the crippled cruiseship t. question is, will it break apart? an $800 million plan. will it work? you may get to see it right on your tv. see it in a second.

>> things are bad in colorado. historic flooding left people unaccounted for. there are fears as many as six people are dead. more than 100 people have been rescued. rain hampering efforts, fema is on scene as our three urban search and rescue teams. 19,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed. a report from u.n. weapons inspectors is due out today on last month's apparent chemical attack on syria. secretary of state john kerry in france this morning to discuss a plan to get chemical weapons out by 2014. it calls for a full accounting of weapons within a week and for enspecters to be in syria by november. a man who is suing former nfl star aaron hernandez for allegedly shooting him in the face in a miami nightclub wants his lawsuit to move forward. he insists the murder case should not slow things down in his case. attorneys for hernandez said he

cannot defend himself properlily while he is fighting murder charges in massachusetts. five months after heightened political tensions closed it, north and south korea have reopened a kasong complex. following north korea's rocket launch and underground nuclear tests. more than 120 companies are in the area. coastguard rescueers took to the air to save two fishermen from the bahamas whose capsized boat was rescued. it was lowered from a helicopter. they say they were drifting for eight days and had swallowed seawater. those men were taken to delray medical center for treatment. eight days on the open ocean. >> lucky to be alive. >> very, very lucky. >> absolutely. let move now to it's time for a political gut check. the deal brokered between u.s.

and russia is leaving a whole lot of 230der. some say the agreement to destroy them makes the president look weak. joining us now is cnn political an lith and executive director john avlon. lots to cover. a lot happened while you were away i guess we could say for a lot of people. >> this weekend was chalk full of news on syria. >> so i want to get your take on where things stand on syria. the deal broke over the weekend. you are hearing from lawmakers, kind of guarded optimism. not everyone is poo pooing it. some critics are. is it like a wait and see position now for the white house? where do you think things stand? >> here's where things stand. this is a block buster dole by any measure. to some extent it's a vend indication of the president's approach. because in reaction to the threat of credible force, russia all of a sudden changed its tune, went from president putin denying or questioning whether rebels used chemical weapons to basically assad had done so and

a definite time period to get syria to turn over the chemical weapons. here's the real catch. vladmir putin to be the honest broker in a region, syria. >> that will provoke skepticism. ronald reagan's rule applies again, trust by ver few. >> i want to get your take the president did an interview over the weekend. he kind of responded to his critics seeing they are judging him more on style rather than policy in terms of his approach to syria. down that is a creative spin or do you think he has a valid point? >> it's like olympic gymnastics, style points. at the end of the day, this is about outcomes. we focus a lot on process because that's how we judge the tic toc. locking in the rear view mirror, if you can get an outcome without violence, that would be judged as a diplomatic december. the atmosphere in capitol hill is so polarized.

there are folks who will criticize the president no matter what position he takes. all that gets caught up in the noise. see if these deadlines are real or this is a delay tactic by syria. >> friday is clearly a critical day to see what happens in terms of that. another big debate goingen in washington, maybe not so much in the forefront until today is the who will be the next fed chairman. larry somers taking his name out of contention. he really was obama's top choice, everyone says, behind the scenes, so what do you think is going on there? >> this is a classic washington whodunnit? he technically pulled his name. he wanted the job. obama wanted to give him the job. so who is cullpable in this case? it's the follow up of the democratic party which is increasingly resurgent. there were real doubts whether he could get larry somers' nomination through the senate. he was an ad advocate in the 1990s. today, kate, the 15th anniversary of the lehman

brother. a lot of folks on the far left blame larry somers. so he went from someone who soared through if senate with confirmation to being someone who obowl was looking at a tough fight with his base. it may not have been a fight he really wanted. >> what about the whole thought the president should be able to have the advisers he wants in his inner circle. >> wouldn't it be nice to think so. and a democratic marty increasingly saying, no, worry not going to rubber stamp things from obama. it's an interesting dynamic. we know the republican party is dealing with the far right. >> that i have it a bit on their own party, if they can figure as broadly as popular as obama, he can't get the picks like he wants. so power. so unaccountable. >> if fed chairmanship is so important right now. great to see you. >> thank you, kate. >> absolutely. we want to remind viewers, senator john mccain will be joining us live for more to talk about the crisis in syria at the

top of the hour. he went from being one of president obama's chief allies to a chief critic. important what he'll have to say. all right. we will give you a quick break to drink a little coffee, do some toothbrushing and show you an amazing picture. you are looking at what will be a wreckage of the costa concordia. a lot of seas also, a lot of challenges. could a second disaster be looming if this operation fails? a big if right now. we will give you a live report, take you through it. also ahead is sibling showdown in the nfl. peyton and eli going head-to-head on the gridiron. which one is the man this morning. we will hear from them just ahead. just by talking to a helmet. it grabbed the patient's record before we even picked him up. it found out the doctor we needed was at st. anne's. wiggle your toes.

frances has distinguished himself as a different kind of pope. it is just about what he says, how he says it, including personal and expected phone calls or calls to people who wrote to him seeking spiritual comfort or guidance. not everyone here at the vatican is happy about it. back to you, kate. >> thank you so much. a kidnapping is making headlines in italy. not a person, a pony, not any any pony. >> reporter: a show pony said to be the world's smallest has been kidnapped. he is less than 25 inches small and was snatched. police believe the mafia are involved and holding him for ransom. charlie was set to be the beg attraction. his owner says he is heart broken and is appealing for his return saying charlie is not an animal but a member of his family. kate, back to you. >> that is one cute pony, further proof everything smaller

for now they say they're cautiously optimistic. lifting a ship the size of the costa concordia from its side has never been tried before. more than 100,000 tons of water-logged wreckage now slowly being pulled upright. engineers monitor the vessel's every move. there is, after all, a very real risk the ship could break apart. >> she's a massive ship, that's what i'm thai saying. we've added to the slopes and the two reeves that she's balanced on and it takes the whole project into a different scale. >> reporter: it's been 20 months since the luxury cruise learn ran aground off the italian island killing 32 of the people on board. the massive kroerpgs to remove the wreckage began with steel platforms built below the water. kaishl cables helping to hoist the ship upright. in a series of enormous

floatation devices attached to the ship's side are designed to help it cruise athe way to a neighbor port. under water december still floats along the seabed, an ominous reminder of the toxic stew still inside the vessel, a disaster if the salvage operation is not successful. removeing the ship is depositing nearly $800 million and the people are praying that the deteriorating costa concordia will soon be floating again. if officials are successful, if they are able to rotate this massive ship upright, they will then go to work repairing the damaged side of the vessel. the hope is that in eight to ten months, they will able to finally tow the costa concordia to a neighbor port to be dismantled. chris and kate. >> all right. erin, thank you so much for

thampblts we were talking before the piece if fact that they can build the structure under the water to hopefully then prop it up. just think what the operation going in is. >> it's incredibly impressive. it's a marine conservatory site. it's like a very sensitive area. so if anything goes wrong at all, they are already worried about it. we have to take a half a step back. the famous dialogue between the captain and the coastguard where, you know, in this unbelievable situation the cap taken had left the ship with all these people. >> 3,200 people on board. >> the coastguard captain became yelping at him, vada aborto. he was yelping at him, get back on board. now we see how the turn will be. >> eight to ten months, hopefully, they'll have this thing taken care of. coming up on "new day," it was a high scoring affair. in the end, the older brother,

joe carter has more in this bleacher's report. where did this team come from? the seattle seahawks, they're the real deal? surprising outcome last night, chris, kate. a lot of people expected the seahawks to be good, this good? really surprised. first quarter there was a one-hour lightning delay. that's three so far this year in the nfl. a 5-0 halftime score. then it was seattle's defense that looked to leave lead, not their offense it was the defense that dominated what many thought was the best offense, even the best team in the nfc. colin kapernik threw three interceptions. the team finished with five turn jeffers total. seattle's richard sherman appropriately celebrates a big 29-3 win. first 84 quarterback e.j. manuel led buffalo to a last second win. after the touchdown, he goes

baseball players of all time. >> that's nice. this is great to actually highlight this morning. >> also, look. another reflection of boston strong as we learn coming out of the marathon, it's an exceptional city. sports rivalries aside, this was one of them, mariana a great goichlt thank you very much. >> that also puts a little more entry. you see the xhshls with the san francisco quarterback, the seattle one, life long friends, for them to go at it, it was good stuff. >> good stuff. you hear the music. you know what it means. we'll be talking about it today. first up, mikalah. >> here we go. the study says teens are getting more exercise and eating more vegetables. loading to a leveling off by the university of massachusetts, researchers say those teams are falling short. a new a.p. analysis finds thousands of u.s. bridges are in danger of collapsing, including some that millions of americans

colorado. 4,500 square miles affected. that's in an area about the size of connecticut. more than 1,200 people unaccounted for. hundreds more waiting to be rescued with even more rain in the forecast. we are going to start asking, what lies ahead? we'll show what you the forecast shows. >> also, this secretary of state john kerry in france this morning troying to secure support for a deal he hammered out over the weekend with russia, obviously, in regards to syria's chemical weapons, but he's still warning syria what will happen if they don't follow the plan. we're going to talk to senator john mccain live in our studio coming up to get his take on where things stand. plus, paula deen is back. she made her first public apearn surrounding the use of the "n" word. she received a standing ovation. is she on the road to resell shun? and will the sponsors who dropped her take notice? we'll look no that. >> first, colorado officials say up to a to you people are weighing to be evacuated from

the deadly flooding there. lock at these amazing pictures of the rescue happening over the weekend. the national guard says it's the biggest helicopter rescue since hurricane katrina. more than 2,100 have been rescued. more than 17,000 others damaged, just huge numbers here. right now, more than 1,200 people still unaccounted for. >> that can mean a lot of different things, let's go to cnn's george houbl howl. good morning, george. >> chris, good morning. we are getting light rain. that kind of adds insult to injury. you lock back there, take a look at that. that's what people are waking up to here in colorado. after more rain on sunday sent rivers and streams rushing, cut off more communities and temporarily brought the rescue operation to a halt. at least four counties in colorado qualify for disaster relief and tail get that help today as fema moves into the

hardest hit areas. the flooding sowide spread, officials haven't begun to estimate the full extent of the damage. over the weekend, president obama declareing a major disaster in the state. while the state's governor, touring the devastation, his helicopter rescuing seven poem along the way. >> we're going to rebuild better than it was before. >> but mother nature isn't helping rescue efforts. cloud and heavy rain grounded air rescue missions sunday. more than a thousand people have yet to be evacuated and with roads and bridges crumbleing under the deluge, for some, rescue by air is the only way out. >> i think what we have going on here in the last 24 hours is the greatest number of americans rescued by helicopter since hurricane ka try fa. >> reporter: entire neighborhoods like this one in james town isolated. cities like aurora already plagued by flooding contending with hail that pummelled the

area over the weekend. officials in boulder county alone say tie will need an estimated $150 million to repair more than 100 miles of lost roadway and between 20 and 30 bridges. the scene in colorado is devastating but not hopeless. >> the question i had is how can we ever recover from this? and i know exactly inch by inch, mile by mile, community by community. >> back to a live picture here in longmont, colorado, of the river, look at it there. one resident told me what you see right there is running ten times as high as it would typically on any given day, so this river really tells the story of what people are dealing with out here. the good news, though, kate, we understand the rescue operation will resume today. obviously, now that the weather has passed through the area. >> thank goodness, a little silver lining.

they can get back to the work at hand. george, thank you so much. all this flooding left police and rescuers with a daunting task, trying to evacuate 1,200 people needing rescued. >> reporter: the desperation deepens to find the missing. this morning, rescue crews still struggling to reach communities cut off. the barriers, dangerously high rushing water, ripped up roads and mud filling up homes. heart wrenching images like these are disturbingly abundant. yet, we haven't seen the worst of the destruction. places like james town have been completely off limits. the terrain rugged, rocky, steep, accessible only by helicopter during brophy breaks in the rain. >> i was worried. >> reporter: her husband and son were trapped in that zone for two days on a 5th grade field trip when the floods hit. >> something just took a

waterfall, rubbed us out of the sky like niagara falls. put it there on the road. >> ten-year-old luka learned the camp was destroyed, while the camp, itself, was spared. he and his 77 classmates had no way home. teacher shannon burger says the adults hatched a plan. >> they figured we could hike out, which would have been three-and-a-half, four miles for our kids with some water crossings that we would niece harnesses and all of that. >> but their escape would not require harnesses. instead, the national guard came to the rescue. >> the helicopters, those were the best. >> four shinook helicopters and a blacktop arrived. >> we were shouting constantly. you two go there. >> everyone was cheering. lots of kids had signs. it was very fun. >> the valors know they are among the lucky ones. too many families have no home

to return to. anna cabrera, cnn, boulder, colorado. >> next hour we will talk live with the mayor of boulder, colorado, talk to him about what things are looking like for him this morning and what they need. much more aid head. let's turn overseas. in a few hours, we should know what u.n. weapons inspectors uncovered in syria. the question, what will it matter now that secretary of state john kerry and his russian counterpart have hammered out a deal to disarm the assad regime. our chief correspondent jim scuiotto is in paris right now. >> reporter: good morning, chris. i think what we saw this morning in paris was a show of unity between the americans, the british and the french backing this deal. that's important. the three permanent members of the u.n. security council in addition to russia and china, the three coming together, particularly france on board as well. because they were the lone supporter of military action

along with the u.s. before the dole came about. but secretary kerry saying theydant take this deal as face value. they can't take it by word alone. their focus in the building behind me is on working towards a u.n. security council resolution backing this deal but also one that has consequences if the syrian regime does not comply. in jerusalem, secretary of state kerry insisting that the deal he's worked out with the russians will be enforced and that president obama is still willing to back it up, if necessary, with military action. >> the threat of force is real. we cannot have hollow words in the conduct of international affairs. >> still, any use of force of syria's president assad fails to give up his chemical weapons will have to go before the u.n. security council, unless the u.s. chooses to act on its own. the dole calls for syria to account for all of its chemical weapons stock piles by the end

of this week. let u.n. inspectors in and destroy production facilities by november and remove or destroy everything by the middle of next year. a time frame some experts call unrealistic in the middle of a civil war. >> if that goal is ak450e6d, then it sound to me like we did something right. >> in an interview with abc news taped before the announcement, the president defends how he's handled the crisis, even if assad stays from force. he says he welcomes russia's president getting involved and he's not worried he's being played by putin. >> ronald reagan said, "trust but verify." >> reporter: there is every reason to believe syrian rebels carried out the chemical weapons attack. >> what i said is nobody around the world takes seriously the idea that the rebels perpetrated this attack. >> reporter: his contradiction, however, fired pack. >> this is a russian plan for russian interests and we should be very, very concerned. >> we are now relying on the

russians. we are following from behind, not loading from behind. >> reporter: secretary kerry and the british and the french believe they'll get more ammunition backing this deal with the release later this morning of that u.n. report on the chemical weapons attack last month. still, they're pursuing an aggressive time line that gives the syrian regime multiple opportunities to g game this out and delay. there are some doubts among u.s. officials. one senior u.s. official told me the dole depends on the syrians doing something they haven't done in a long time, quote, that is act in good faith. so still many questions remain, kate, chris, to how this will play out. >> all right. jim, thank you very much for the reporting. let bring in senator john mccain, a republican from arizona and a member of the armed services committee. thank you very much for joining us. appreciate it. the phrase, provocative weakness. what does that money to you? you use it in done text with this situation. what is provocative weakness?

>> well, what it means is that it is clear that we have bought into the idea that somehow vladmir putin and bashar al-assad are serious about the real dismantlement of these capital weapons when there is no penalty in the united nations security council for failure to comply. he made it very clear when this announcement was made and i have to carry the quote around, there is nothing in this agreement about the use of force and that means that the whole agreement to some degree is meaningless. and by the way, it's no credibility when the secretary of state says we will just keep saying if it doesn't work, he's the one that also said, any strike would be unbelievably small. unbelievably small. what message do you think that sends? and it should surprise no one that the attacks by bashar

al-assad on the free syrian army have dramatically increased. assistance from iran has dramatically increased and bashar al-assad said this is a great victory for the syrians. and i don't see how you can view it any other way. >> just to clear the record, when the idea of the deal came out. you said, i'll be open to it. it's better not to fight than fight. but at this point do you believe that they are just pursuing a dream here, that this is a waste of time, essentially? >> i think what they are pursuing is a laudable goal but there is no real way to achieve it, number one. no. 2 is that you now give put an major lace in this whole scenario and in the middle east. number two, they have now got a green light to continue and escalate their attacks on the free certain army. i promise you, i know for a fact the moral of the free syrian army is veried be right now.

they feel they've been abandoned. tell me where in this scenario bashar al-assad may go? in fact, it may insure he stays in power and there is 100,000 dead, chris. there is a million children who are refugees and we have stood by and watched this only in the last few days have they gotten some weapons and they aren't the right kind of weapons and don't think the iranians, the israelis, the north chrones and others take a lesson from this. the president said that we were going to, they crossed the red lean. i didn't think most people thought they were crossing that red lean meant that we would seek an agreement that's not enforceable. >> the president announced there is a few red line, that if eastern with their nukes, he would bomb tear nukes. what do you make of the strain behind that statement? >> i don't think the will is any credibility left in the middle east. i don't think, i think when you say you are going to do something, in case i draw a red

loin and don't react, then i don't think you have credibility. >> where do you go from here? i know you think the deal is a loser. what else do you do at this point? >> dramatically step up our assistance to the 3r50e syrian anymore. >> do you think congress should be involved? >> this is done by the intelligence committees and would be in agreement, look, until you reverse the momentum on the battlefield and bashar al-assad thinks he is going to lose is the only way you get a negotiated dependentture of bashar al-assad. as long as he thinks he is winning. then he will continue, particularly with the assistance he is getting from the russians and the iranians. as we speak today, there will be a plane load of arms, conventional weapons landing from moscow to be used to kill syrians at the same time, we are dismantling the chemical weapons stocks. that's crazy. >> if this does move forward. >> yes. >> do you think u.s. troops should be involved, on the ground? >> never, never, never.

it would be harmful. but there is plenty of things we could do to assist and give them the kind of help. a year ago, they were the momentum was on their side and then the iranians came all in. the russians came all in, hezbollah, 5,000 hezbollah came from lebanon to fight on his side and we sat by and watched and that's, it's a shameful chapter in our view. >> you think that your view is suffering from politics here domestically. do you believe if there were president romney that members of your party would have the same resistance that they are showing right now. >> i think there is some, chris, in all honesty, just pause they dislike president obama. i think the president with the american people say two things, one, i want to strike, two, i want to pause. that's a very confused message so give the american people. i think if he had acted, he had the authority to do so. ronald reagan invaded grenada

one night. bill clinton did carry out strikes. every president has. but once he decided to go to the congress, it's the first time in history a president has announced he will act militarily then turned around and said he had to go to congress to get their permission. >> we were just talking about this because i wonder if syria aside, it does seem the urgency has been taken out of the situation, is what we are seeing politically a window into just this circus that's going to happen here domestically with the spending bills and the politics will? if you are playing politics on something on whether or not to help a humanitarian situation, what happens when it comes to dollars and cents in the budget? >> i think we're in for some serious problems here. and i think that republicans ought to understand, if we hit down the government, congress explains, radio italy or wrongly, congress gets blamed. we seen the movie before. some weren't around at the time i was. >> what do you think the president in his interview said

he is not going to be negotiating around the debt krolling. where are you on that? >> i think that the president has the ability to say what he wants to say. but there is going to be to have some negotiations. there is going to be a willingness to negotiate because we all know that we're not going to cut off social security checks. we're not going to cut off the salary and payment to the men and women who are fighting in afghanistan. it's not going to happen and for us to say that you got to repeal obamacare in order to get that done as charles crowdhammer said, that's a suicide note. >> that itself the best depiction i have have. i hope my colleagues in the house who believe we need to shut down the government will understand that that's not what the american -- they hate government. they don't want it to stop functioning. >> that's a good point. your take finally on some of the news about the fed chairmanship, larry somers taking his name out of contention, good move, bad

emph? what do you make of it? >> that's one thing i stayed out of. i admire larry somers. he has served honorably. he has picked up enemies on the way. this was more inside the democratic party issue than it was to do with republicans. >> we talk about these nominations once in a while. i think you are in the camp the president should have his advisers he want itself around him. >> elections have consequences as i found out to my sorrow. >> are you worried with all of this you know, you have been incredibly. you have your positions, your strength about military action being a game changer in syria. are you worried about the political costs to you of staking out non-partisan positions? you have been doing it more and more. you have been attacking me all along the way, i want to point that out. >> well deserved. >> thank you. >> you turned my whole family. do you feel. why are you doing this? you are worried about your own political future. >> the one thing i paid a visit to syria and i met these brave

people and i saw the carnage. i talked to a group of young women in a refugee camp that were gang raped. >> that is bashar al-assads indoctrination. i saw these orphans. i saw a young woman who was a teacher said senator mccain, you see these children all running around here, there's thousands of them. they're going to take revenge on the people who they believe abandoned them and refused to help them. you know, i will admit to emotional attachment to the tragedy that continues to go on an us watching it go by and if that's a fault, then i plead guilty. >> senator, it's great to have you here in the studio. >> thanks for having me on. >> thank you so much. >> good luck with the fights abroad and at home. senator mccain. all right. a lot of news here as well. let's go right to the other headlines. >> all right. house republicans will relows a report going after the obama administration for its handling on last year's attack in

benghazi. the report focuses on short comings on the attack that kill four americans. it questions why four mid-level officials were held accountable. a pretrial hearing today for the north texas man accused of killing former navy seal sniper chris kyle and war vet eddie ray ruth faces capital murder charges. he is accused of turning a gun on kyle and that second man as they were trying to help him cope with post-combat stress. during his arraignment last month, he pleaded not guilty. kyle was known as the most lethal sniper in u.s. history. two bistanders recovering from bullet wound after a wild shootout saturday night. police say an emotionally disturbed man was trying to commit suicide by running no traffic. officers were forced, they say, to fire at him when he pretended to fire a gun at them. the suspect was tasered and taken into custody. however, a 54-year-old woman was

shot in the knee. another woman was grazed by the officers' gunshots. don't try this at home. 25-year-old michael chemetter and australian dare devil climbed the tallest csi scraper without safety equipment. what did he do? he jumped off and parachuted back down. my question is, what does he have against using a harness? he is the jamie adrenaline junkie, he crossed a gorge, 3,000 350e9 feet up. no safety equipment. we are not sending kate on an assignment like this. she is a dare devil. >> that is heart stopping. >> we watch. we like to see people test the limits. >> we do. >> as long as they're other people. >> not us or family members or loved ones. coming up on "new day," he was apparently shot dead by police, why did police officers open fear on a man who officials

we will talk with his family. first, here's a look at the story. >> now we have this incident person you know looking for help, running to the police like a child would run to his mother. and unfortunately, he's not here with us anymore. >> reporter: community outrage is growing after police in north carolina one of their own shot and killed jonathan ferrell. >> i never see anything like this go down. this isn't a very good neighborhood. >> reporter: authorities say the 24-year-old wrecked his car early saturday morning and managed to climb out and walk down the road to the closest house he could find. police say ferrell knocked on the door and a woman answered thinking it was her husband. >> to her surprise, it was an individual she did not know or recognize. she immediately closed the door, hit her panic alarm, called 911. >> reporter: three officers responded. they say ferrell came and one officer used his taser without success. when he ran towards officer car

rick, police say he shot him several times, ferrell was unarmed. kerr rick is now charged with voluntary manslaughter. he is out on a $50,000 bond, police say the 27-year-old officer did not have a lawful right to discharge his weapon during the incident. they called the shooting excessive. >> our hearts go out to the ferrell family, quite naturally, as well as the members of the c m.p. d family. this is nothing easy. >> all right. our thanks, to elena. right now on a "new day" exclusive. we are joined by jonathan's mother and younger brother. can you hear me okay? this is chris cuomo in new york. >> yes. >> thank you very much nor joining us. may i ask how is the family holding up, georgia?

>> we are just hoping, my children are fought doing well at all. they suffered a great, great loss. >> the stuffed animal you have in your lap, what does that plen mean to you? >> oh, this is jonathan's favorite an pal, he loved winnie the pooh. this way winnie and pooh and jonathan, any time he came home from a young child, they always itself slept in my bed with me. >> let me ask you. >> it's my heart. >> let me ask you, why do you think this happened? we heard the reports. we heard from the place little bit. what is your best sense, willie, to what happened here this night with your brother? >> well, the investigation is still ongoing. we haven't really found what happened yet, but that's why we're here. we're going to file the

necessary legal actions to find out that this family deserves. this was an unwarranted, inhumane shooting. we are seeking answers. >> mr. chris chestnut, thank you for dpoin joining us. i understand the reluctance to discuss an ongoing investigation. let me ask you this, the big question will come down to was there any kind of justification here? what i want to get a sense from the family is, was there anything going on with jonathan's life, it was 2:30 in the morning, was there anything going on medically, any kind of situation he was dealing with personally, could all in anyway explain any behavior on his part. i know there is no reason for it. just to understand the background, was there anything going on with your son that means something in this situation? >> no, it was not. jonathan was very happy. i had just spoke with jonathan.

he calls me every morning. and we talk for about an hour before he goes to work. jonathan worked two jobs. he was a very happy, outgoing person. we laughed and we talked and we talked about him coming home and the things he was going to get for his sister and his brothers and his sisters and brothers by being married in the family. he was very, very happy. he called me before he went for the his second job and he said, mama, i may go off tonight. he was very happy. >> so if there were no medical emotional issues going on with your son. this comes down to just a wrongful shooting investigation, are you satisfied with how the police seem to be handling it so far? >> certainly, we applaud the arrests and the police chief's decision election to arrest the officer. but there are a lot of unanswered questions. why was this officer even with a barge and having a gun? what are the policies and

procedures? what is this training that would allow an officer to react so irrationally, so inhumanely. there are a lot of questions to be answered. what about the one who called the police? why would she assume because someone is knocking on her door at 2:30 in the morning, he is going to rob her. since when does a robber ask, can i take your belongings? >> so this was a senseless death. and we need answers. >> you do make the point, it is unusual in a positive way there have been charges. we have to see what happened with them. it does seem the police department is moving forward with their investigation aggressively. let me close with this, though, if i can go back to you, georgia and willie, what do you want people to know about your brother and your son? they're learning about him only from the sessions that cost him his life, what do you want people to know about who he was? georgia, please start with you, willie, if you want to finish. >> jonathan was a very happy

outgoing person. he is a good kid. jonathan was so loving. we would sit there and try to think of something bad about him. there was nothing we can think of. i can't think of a bad thing he had done as a child no more than any time he get sick, he want to speak with me. because he loved being near his mother. >> as a brother, jonathan has been, you know, as a brother to me and to so many others around the community, the community and around the state of florida that have came in contact with jonathan, he had always been a great person, always somebody who was willing to help no matter what the situation was. always cared about somebody, no matter if he did know, always willing to give, always willing to know. was always happy no matter how upset. it's hard to make him upset. and any situation, but jonathan was the one, the greatest man i ever came in contact where even

though that's my brother, that's somebody i dearly love. i know everybody else who came in contact with him through high school, elementary, people who never met him heard a word about him never heard nothing negative or bad about him. he was always a great person, always have a smile on his face and always lover making people happy. so that's something real small to sum it up. >> we know he was a great athlete. >> an athlete, a gymnast, a football player, an academic, a chemistry major. this is an all american young man who swoived a horrific accident, he is crying for help and is showered with bullets. >> well, mr. chestnut, we know the entire society needs to hear about these situations. more specifically, to you, georgia and willie, your entire family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. i know this is terrible for you for the matter what the outcome of the investigation and we wish you well. thank you for coming on this morning and thank you. >> thank you. >> and all the best to you going forward. >> thank you for having us.

touchdown passes, but it's what the defending super bowl champ missed that's really making headlines this morning. flacco skipped the birth of his son in order to play in sunday's game, but not before playing a trick on ravens coach john harbaugh. >> joe comes up to me at practice and tells me what's going on the day she's in hospital and in labor. i found out he had a plan with some of the other players and the plan was he couldn't follow through with -- thank goodness -- didn't plan to tell me she was in labor and he was getting in his car headed to new jersey to be there for it. i'm so glad he didn't do it. >> right before he took the field flacco got the phone call he'd been waiting for, his wife telling him she'd just given birth to their second child, a healthy boy named daniel.

you got to love people for what they are and maybe the family regards him. >> i'd love to hear from his wife. she was probably get out there, i got this handled. >> she probably wanted him. >> he just signed a contract. >> from every indication he's a big family guy. >> thanks, john. >> pleasure. >> did you just call him sean? >> i said john. do not start this again. we will fight this out in the commercial break as we always do. coming up next on "new day" a deadly brain-eating parasite found in one people's water supply but people are told it's safe to drink as long as it doesn't go up their nose into their ears or somewhere. are they actually serious about this? more pictures out of colorado. the situation is getting worse, epic flooding, the rescue operation equally epic. the question is, is the weather going to continue to be a problem, is it going anywhere

full extent of the damage. over the weekend, president obama declaring a major disaster in the state, while the state's governor touring the devastation, his helicopter rescuining seven people along t way. >> we'll rebuild better than it was before. >> reporter: but mother nature isn't helping rescue efforts. clouds and heavy rain grounded air rescue missions sunday, more than 1,000 people have yet to be evacuated. and with roads and bridges crumbling under the deluge, for some, rescue by air is the only way out. >> i think what we have going on here in the last 24 hours is the greatest number of americans rescued by helicopter since hurricane katrina. >> reporter: entire neighborhoods like this one in jamestown isolated. cities like aurora already plagued by flooding contending with hail that pummeled the area over the weekend. officials in boulder county alone say they will need an

estimated $150 million to repair more than 100 miles of lost roadway and between 20 and 30 bridges. the scene in colorado is devastating, but not hopeless. >> the question i had is, how can we ever recover from this? i knowexactly. inch by inch, mile by mile, community by community. >> reporter: a live picture here in longmont, colorado, this river is ripping and this is what caused a lot of the damage. we know from officials at least 19,000 homes are damaged or destroyed from this storm. at least 1,000 people waiting to be rescued and the good news, the rescue operation is expected to resume today. >> george, thank you very much for the reporting. of course, this story is not just about numbers and forecasts. it's about people fighting to survive. one colorado boy says it was

like someone dropped niagara falls on them. the floods have turned families into castaways and for those facing the rising waters the sight of a helicopter is like the answer to a prayer. cnn's ana cabrera has that story. >> reporter: the desperation deepens to find the missing. this morning, rescue crews struggling to reach communities cut off. the bare yes, dangerously high rushing water, ripped up roads and mud filling up homes. heart-wrenching images like these are disturbingly abundant, yet we haven't seen the worst of the destruction, places like jamestown have been completely off limits. thor it rain, rugged, rocky and steep, accessible by helicopter during brief breaks in the rain. >> i was worried. >> reporter: tiffany and her husband were trapped for two days when the floods hit. >> something took a waterfall, grabbed it out of the sky like

niagara falls, just put it there on the road. >> reporter: 10-year-old luka learned the road to camp was destroyed. while the camp itself was spared, he and his 77 classmates had no way home. teacher shan nan bergert said the adults hatched a plan. >> they figured we could hike out which would have been three and a half, four miles for our kids, with some water crossings that we would need harnesses and all of that. >> reporter: but their escape would not require harnesses. instead the national guard came to the rescue. >> the helicopters, those were the best. >> reporter: four chinoook helicopters and a blackhawk arrived saturday morning. >> so we're shouting constantly, you two go there, you two go there. >> everyone was cheering when they were pulling off and lots had signs. >> reporter: they know they are among the lucky ones. too many families have no home to return to.

ana cabrera, cnn, boulder, colorado. >> thank you so much, ana. authorities are updating the list of people unaccounted for, including 300 people in boulder county. joining me to talk about the devastation they're facing the mayor of boulder, colorado, matthew applebaum. you have much more to do than to try to speak to us but thank you for taking the time because it's important to get the message out. how are things looking from the ground today? >> the city of boulder social has fared better than some of our surrounding communities but we still had a rather extraordinary flood event, one we hadn't really expected because of the immense amount of rain and the widespread nature of it, where all of our creekways, we have 15 or so tributary creeks, the boulder creek coming to town and all of them flooded at once. things look better. the sun is going to come out

today. it will be normal colorado sunny for the rest of the week, we believe, but there is a huge amount of cleanup and a huge amount of repair and a huge amount of destruction around town that people will be dealing with for a very long time. >> put this in perspective. what has this been like for residents in your town and what is this going to look like going forward? have you yet, do you think, turned the corner and gotten a handle on the devastation you're facing yet? >> probably not entirely. again, we don't have massive road destruction that you see in the county, don't have people who are unaccounted for. we're an urban area, the access is much better, but i think after watching people the last few days helping each other out, the remarkable community spirit that we have, i think there's going to be a lot of shock and disbelief the amount of destruction, the damage to people's houses, the damage to

neighborhoods, the damage to roads, the damage to our much beloved open space. it's pretty significant, and as i said, it's extraordinarily widespread. i think when the sun does come out, we'll get a better idea of the extent of that damage both from the city perspective and also the very unfortunate personal stories. >> the numbers when you look at it are really astounding just how many people are still missing, kind of in the county and other areas as well as the number of people that have had to be air lifted out that have been completely stranded. why do you think these numbers are so high? were people not prepared for what was coming their way? >> i think we did a very good job at preparation and watching between the city and county and federal agencies has been remarkable but up in the county and this is not within the city limits but up in the county

there are thousands of properties in mountainous terrain with limited access in the best of times, and while we've always known our creeks are susceptible to flooding, we expect the more traditional if i could use that term a 100-year flood event, a flash flood storm or damaging flooding along one drainageway but other accesses remain open but nobody expected, including the meteorologists, was an event that would last for many days and would be completely spread out north to south the entire county and much of the front range, which meant that all accesses were cut off. >> well, there's clearly going to be a lot of need as people get a handle on what they're dealing with and when rebuilding begins. first and foremost your community needs for the rain to stop and the sun to come out and these search and rescue operations to continue.

mayor applebaum, the mayor of boulder, colorado, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> of course. chris? secretary of state john kerry is in france trying to build support for a plan to get chemical weapons out of syria. deal between the u.s. and russia calls for a full the canning of their weapons for a week and full removal by late next year. is that realistic? is it even possible? cnn chief national security correspondent jim sciutto is traveling with the secretary of state and filed this report from paris. >> reporter: thank you, chris and good morning. what we saw this morning was a show of unity, a show of force by secretarier isry with the british and french foreign ministers backing this syria deal on chemical weapons but secretary kerry saying they can't take this at face value, they can't take it by words alone their focus is getting a forceful resolution in the u.n. that brings consequences for the

syrian regime if they don't comply. in jerusalem secretary of state kerry insisting that the deal he's worked out with the russians will be enforced, president obama is still willing to back it up if necessary with military action. >> the threat of force is real. we cannot have hollow words in the conduct of international affairs. >> reporter: still, any use of force of syria's president assad fails to gave up his chemical weapon also have to go before the u.n. security council unless the u.s. chooses to act on its own. this calls for syria to account for all of its chemical weapons stockpiles by the end of next week, and remove or destroy everything by the middle of next year, a time frame some experts call unrealistic, in the middle of a civil war. >> if that goal is achieved, then it sounds to me like we did

something right. >> reporter: in an interview with abc news taped before the announcement the president defends how he's handled the crisis even if assad stays in power, says he withal comes russia's president getting involved, that he's not worried he's being play plagued but putin. >> trust but verify. >> reporter: he rejects in the "new york times" op-ed that there's every reason to believe syrian rebels car rid out the attack. >> i said nobody around the world takes seriously that the rebels perpetrated this attack. >> reporter: creditics fired ba. >> this is a russian plan for russian interests. >> we're relying on the russians, following from behind, not leading from behind. >> reporter: secretary kerry and his british and french counterparts believe that this u.n. report coming out later this morning will give them more ammunition, more backing for this deal, but still they're working on a very ambitious time line going forward which gives the syrian regime multiple

opportunities to delay and game the system and there's still skepticism within the administration. one u.s. official told me that this deal relies on the sear yayab syrians doing something they haven't for a long time, and that is acting in good faith. >> jim sciutto, thank you for that. as secretary kerry makes his case to u.s. allies abroad the deal is taking a little heat at home. senator john mccain is not happy about it. he says the agreement gives russia the upper hand and doesn't properly provide for the use of force if syria fails to comply. here's what mccain had to say earlier on "new day." >> if iran with their nukes, what would you make of the strength behind the statement? >> i don't think there's any credibility left in the middle east. i don't think that -- i think when you say you're going to do something, draw a red line and don't react, then i don't think

you have credibility. >> where do you go from here? i know you think the deal say loser. what else do you do in. >> i would dramatically step up our assistance to the free syrian army. >> do you think congress should be involved? you know the vote would not pass. >> this is done by the intelligence committee. unless you reverse the momentum on the battlefield and bashar assad thinks he's going to lose is the only way you get a negotiated departure. the president went to the american people saying one, i want to strike, two, i want to pause. that's a confused message to give the american people when he spoke to the american people. i think if he had acted, he had the authority to do so, ronald reagan invaded grenada one night, bill clinton carried out strikes. every president has. once he decided to go to the congress, it's the first time in history the president announced he's going to act militarily and

then turned around and said that he had to go to congress to get their permission. >> that was senator john mccain. something else we want to talk to but your 401(k)s and budget strategy may have been influenced this morning. larry summers has withdrawn his name from consideration to be the next head of the federal reserve. two big money issue, summers' withdrawal and the five-year anniversary of the financial collapse. are we better off today? we bring in assistant managing editor of "time," rana, and christine romans. >> good morning. >> good morning to you. summers what, does it mean? >> it means larry summers will not be the next federal reserve chairman and janet yellin will be. he said this is looking too acrimonious, me getting confirmed will be too tough and it withdraws from the work of

the fed. they have to undo all of the stimulus and do it well without hurting the economy. janet yellin is likely seen as the front-runner now. from are other names, stan fisher, dan kohn, roger ferguson. stocks are rallying because they think of janet yellin you have consistency at the fed and that's what wall street wants to see and that would be good for your money. >> rana, the five-year anniversary of the financial collapse today, there are a lot of opinions, are we better off today than five years ago, it's the subject of the "time" magazine cover how wall street won five years after the crash it could happen all over again. >> absolutely. it's safe to say person banks are in better shape than they were before the crisis, making record profits, increased the amount of capital that they're holding. >> that's not better for us, the consumer? >> that's right because the system as a whole has not fbeen reregulated to make it safe next

time around. there are important loopholes banks being able to trade derivatives which were the complex securities that caused the last crash. >> there is one big casino question that mattered in fixing the banks, how much leverage would they be allowed to have. has that changed and should it change? >> it's changed but basically hasn't changed enough. >> that's right, the banks are protesting using just 5% of their own money on risky deals. most of the rest of america wouldn't dream of borrowing 50%. >> they're not aloud, the same banks trade like crazy. >> the treasury disappears with rana and says they are safer. they say we are safer and the banks are in better shape and working hard to finish up everything they have to do for regulation but they have to have stress tests and more saptal on hand. people don't feel safer. look at the polling. people are still worried about their job. housing market is not back, not all the way back. job markets coming, half of the

americans aren't exposed to the stock market. >> that's one of the points in my story, finance hasn't been remoored in the economy. banks were set up to lend small businesses money. they're making most money doing risky trading. >> we can look back and hopefully make some adjustments looking to the future. >> i think so. >> what is the biggest danger facing the u.s. economy right now? >> aside from the banking reregulation that needs to be there, i would say flat incomes. when was the last time most people got a raise in this country in this committee that's 70% consumer spending. you can't have a robust economy without income ticking up. >> and the banks that got the largest welfare program in the history of the world don't want to lend to people because they say they're risky bets. yet they were bailed out by the same people they won't lend to. >> i look at the balance sheet and say you can make more money

trading than you can doing a 30-year mortgage but if the banks collapse we'd be worse off, so they said. >> we would be worse off if banks collapsed. >> we're still in the 2% economy. the banks have recovered but we haven't >> great article, "time" magazine worth the read. ingrid, the second official hurricane of the 2013 atlantic season is bearing down on mexico and heading towards the southern united states. mexico's already been hit hard by tropical storm manuel with the death toll at 21 right now. now parts of the country could be facing more than two feet of rain and that could produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides. straight to meteorologist imdra petersons >> this is a dangerous situation setting up right now. we have two systems there, both moving into mexico, each one individually powerful enough to produce heavy mudslides. here is the remnants of tropical

storm manuel on the pacific side. you can see 30 mooil pu-mile-pe winds. in the atlantic we have a tropical storm ingrid which has actually already made landfall right around l.a. pesca. you have both merging together bringing that rain potential extremely high. the other thing you want to keep in mind is the mountainous region there so all that terrain is going to allow for enhanced rainfall. similar to what we're currently seeing in colorado. we're talking about 10 to 15 inches of rain, isolated areas could see 25 inches of rain. i want to put that in perspective, colorado 10 to 15. places could see double that amount, all that going down those hillsides, deadly situation in the region. i also want to point out here notice where you can see it starting to make its way ashore. we still have brownsville and corpus christi nearby, about one to two inches tonight and several inches through tomorrow. it takes a lot in a short period

responsib possibly up their nose. >> i'm a parent, i'm nervous and leery but my hopes are the parish and cdc buckle down to get this under control. >> what officials are saying is that the amoeba can't get to your brain if you're swallowing it but it can if it goes up your nose. parents are being told don't let your child submerge themselves in the bathtub, supervise them when doing something as innocuous as playing outside with a garden hose. chris? kate? >> elizabeth, help me out here. >> okay. >> i'm not getting this. i feel these warnings go in the direction of abundance of caution. is it because it's water and they know you have to use it so they're figuring out what the safest route is? it seems like it's asking for trouble. >> well again, what it is, if you drink it the amoeba will not go up your nose. it will go into your gi system but not to your brain. if you swallow it, it's not going to get to your brain but yes you're right. i will tell you as a mom that i

. welcome back to "new day." off the coast of italy this morning, take a look at these

live pictures. engineers attempting to raise the "costa concordia," the cruise ship that ran aground well over a year ago killing 32 people when that happened and even if crews are able to right the ship over the next couple of days they'll still face the daunting task of removing it. erin mclaughlin has the latest. >> reporter: lifting a ship the size of at "costa concordia" from its side has never been tried before. more than 100,000 tons of water-logged wreckage now slowly being pulled upright. engineers and welders monitored the vessel's every move. there is, after all, a very real risk the ship could break apart. >> she's a massive ship, a massive challenge, but when you add her to the slopes of gilia island and the two reefs she's balanced on it takes the project to a whole different scale. >> reporter: it's been 20 minutes since the costa

concardia ran aground, killing 32 of the people on board. the massive operation to remove the wreckage began with steel platforms built below the water. cables helping to hoist the ship upright, and a series of enormous floatation devices attached to the ship's sides are designed to eventually help the cruiseliner float away to aer inby port. underwater debris from the tragedy still floats along the italian seabed an ominous reminder of the toxic stew still inside the vessel and environmental disaster if the salvage operation is not successful. removal of the ship is costing nearly $800 million and the people of gilo are praying the deteriorating "costa concordia" will soon be floating again. erin mclaughlin, cnn, london. >> as erin said their toxic

stew, it's an virn mentally sensitive area. barbara nadeau standing by, what is the latest? >> reporter: they say everything is going to plan, they're cautiously optimistic this is going to work. they originally told us it would take 12 hours and the process is more of a rotation. they're pulling this ship up from underneath with the giant pulleys with cables on them and at the same time they're pulling it from the top so it's more of a rotation than anything. at a certain point about now we were saying four or five hours into the operation, we're into the fifth hour, gravity was supposed to, you know, take over. they seem to be by that calculation maybe a little bit behind schedule because it doesn't look like the point where gravity would take over. by all means they have control for ohm a bit of time. after that the ship is too heavy and that's when the flotation boxes on the outside of the ship

will take over. those will start to fill with water and the only way they can control those is to pump compressed air in so they'll be able to control each one individualry, if some of the ship breaks apart or some seems vulnerable they'll be able to lift some parts and move parts to slow down the force of gravity and eventually end up on a bed of a big platform with what the salvage masters call mattresses. they'll fix the broken side in the spring and hopefully float it away by next summer. chris? >> a lot of risk there but they need to try to do something before it breaks apart. barbie, thank you for the reporting. we look forward to seeing what happens. all right, how about some good stuff? here's today's episode. it was 87-year-old alan monroe's second love that helped him get through the loss of his first, the first his wife norma who recently lost her battle with

canc cancer. the red sox on tv helped him through this time. it was the kindness of strangers that got him back to the ball park. >> when she passed we were trying to get him healed and better, 63 years they were together and he was lost. >> that's alan's daughter, wanted to get him back to fenway park for his first time in 50 years but alan lives in florida and didn't have the money to afford the trip so his granddaughter took to social media starting a crowd funding campaign. in the end raised more than $6,000 for the adventure. so the campaign was so popular it got the attention of the ball club's owner who let alan do this. >> play ball! use the phrase thrill of a lifetime, that just says it all. doesn't come any bigger than this. >> how about that. >> the good stuff doesn't end there. alan's daughter says there was
