treated with such care. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> very cute little bow bow. that's it for me, thanks for watching, i'll be back at 5:00 p.m. eastern in "the situation room," newsroom continues right now with brook baldwin. >> good to be with all of you on this monday. i'm brooke baldwin, stay with me, because any moment the southwest airlines jet that randed at the wrong airport, is set to take off. you heard me right, the wrong airport. let me explain how this happened u passengers on this flight, it was headed from chicago's midway airport to branson airport in southwest missouri, they experience this bumpy landing. suddenly they realize they had landed in missouri, but the wrong place. >> it was a really rough landing, we were all moving pretty close to the seats when we were landing because the run way was too short for the plane
11:01 am
and so then they just came on and said that they landed at the wrong run way. >> then we got a call saying the plane has landed at an airport nearby. with that, we were thinking, okay, there is only one other airport and it was the cfo airport and we're thinking, surely not a jet plane could land there. >> surely, he says. well, the intended airport and the one the plane landed at, they're about seven miles apart. the county airport doesn't usually handle big jets because it's run way as you're about to see with this map is about half the length of the branson airport. the plane stopped just 500 feet from the edge of the run way, which by the way, the edge of that is a cliff and then the run way. passengers finally got to the right airport by bus. chad myers with me here in studio 7. chad, do you first, because you have this pretty cool animation that shows what the pilot maybe
11:02 am
intended to do but didn't? >> right, you're driving to mcdonald's, you see this one here, there's another one seven miles, but you get to this one first. it started in chicago's midway, they turned the plane going south. it's going to probably fly over just to the west of st. louis, into columbus, jefferson city, springfield, missouri, branson, missouri just south of there. silver dollar city, i have been there an awful lot. they get to this airport, that one right here. this is the one here, you'll see that's the airport that they eventually landed in here, coming down runway, 1-2, not ma much different than 1-4. they saw this airport first and they said that must be it and they came down. the issue is not if it was short, the issue was at the end of that runway, that is the
11:03 am
cliff, that is the falloff of where they were 300 feet from there. they wanted to land at this one, it's not dirt, but it looks like dirt because it's all plowed around here. this is the real branson airport that they came up short by about seven miles, but they got that plane stopped. >> let's show people what we're watching and waiting for, tell me about the size of this jet and i guess the challenge in taking off -- here we go, there's the live picture. the challenges in taking off from this particular run way? >> okay, the runway is only 3,738 feet long. they had intended to land on a 7,500 foot run way, so you can immediately see, which is why it was to difficult to stop, and they had to really push the brakes on. chad, i wanted to point out, the
11:04 am
notice to the air navigation, instructions do say, no safety overrun for this particular airport. at run way end, large dropoff. so there is a clear warning about this. of course they didn't know they were landing there, so they didn't know to read the warnings. what's going to happen now? this aircraft is probably what they call operator's weight. operator's empty weight. it means it's the weight of the aircraft, the weight of the usable fuel they put on just to get it in the air, and the seats. that sort of weight, this plane can take off from that runway. it could not take off from that runway if it was full to the brim with fuel and with passengers. but it's clearly much lighter. now to those who are wondering, is it, will it, can it, won't it? every time a plane takes off, the pilots do the calculation
11:05 am
and it is a matter of physics, between the weight of the aircraft, the temperature on the ground at the moment and the length of the runway, you factor all that in and you get what's known as the rotation speed and the run speed and that tells you whether you'll be able to take off on that runway. it's a simple question of mathematics. they've done the math and they can do it. the ntsb is investigating. i can give a pretty good guess. >> okay, hit me. >> all right, they weren't using an instrument landing system, they were on a visual approach into the airport. they saw the airport that they thought it was, as chad's diagram shows, the run ways are about 20 degrees different. it's sizable, but not huge, they see what they think is the right runway, they head in that direction and they never look down at the instruments to check
11:06 am
each other, to check that they are right. that is the sort of way this happens. and one other thing, in u.s. aviation, not so much overseas in europe, air traffic control will often give you a clear to land, clear to land, quite a long way out. so they will have gone up to approach, got on to final approach and would have been at branson airport they would have been told clear to land and they would be using their own navigation. as they came in to land, they just did it. >> no one yells at them and says you're too low, you're too low because you're seven miles from the real airport? >> in theory, yes. in practice, as you can clearly tell by this case and the airbus case with the dream lifter, earlier last year. no, they just don't. they assume you're on the right path. remember, it's not an instrument landing system here, it's not an
11:07 am
automatic approach. >> and it was dark. >> it was dark. >> any one of people could have got involved here and said, hang on, you're not on the right path for this runway. it could have been the captain in the left seat, it could have been the co-pilot. >> we don't know what we're watching for and we have that camera on live pictures, we see the cones surrounding the planes, when we see the cones moving that will be our heads up and we'll come back and watch that hopefully successful takeoff from that airport. let's move along, got some news for you just in to cnn, here, we're watching this high school, this is just outside of houston, the fbi is on the scene after a suspicious package was found at seven lakes high school, this is katy, texas. we're told by our affiliate kprc
11:08 am
that a device has been found that is, quote, unquote, potentially explosive. you see all the kids scatter on the football field here. parents are being told, stay away, you cannot pick up your students, your children at this time. we're watching this story very closely out of katy, texas, as soon as we have more information, we'll pass it along to you live. for days more than 300,000 people have not been able to use tap water to drink, to bathe, to brush their teeth. that could soon be changing of course as anxiety is running high over this contaminated water. plus a figure skater falls and finishes in fourth place, yet we makes the u.s. olympic team over the ladies who beat her. is that fair? we'll discuss coming up, you're watching cnn.

11:13 am
they could have been done much, much cheap ever? as it happens, the more expensive option included ads starring chris christie and his family here when he was running for re-election. gloria borger here from washington and our chief political analyst, and gloria, good morning to you, we have this bridge scandal on one hand but we'll get to that in a minute. this is superstorm sandy, the feds looking into how recovery aid was spent. this is cnn exclusive reporting because we have a statement from christie's people, this was issued earlier today, let me read this, reviews such as this are routine and standard operating procedure and it goes on to say, and i'm quoting, we're confident that any review will show that the ads were a key part in helping new jersey get back on its feet after sandy. my question to you is how harmful is this? this investigation? >> well, look, once you raise one question, you know it opens a whole pandora's box about a
11:14 am
whole lot of other things. i remember at the time these ads were running that eyebrows were raised about why does chris christie have to be in these ads? don't forget the recovery of hurricane sandy has been so important to chris christie's political life, you know, his popularity went up, he grew more popular with women voters, he was seen as somebody who could cut through the red tape, raise the money, get the recovery program on its way and working really well. and so at the time, you know, people were saying, okay, fine, christie is the face of the recovery, so maybe that's the reason. so this whole investigation, whether it's routine or not is something i'm sure the christie people would rather not be talking about right now. >> we know that today the new jersey legislature, they formed a commercial committee with a special council and subpoena power to investigate how high up
11:15 am
it goes. there are still so many unanswered questions here. >> i have been spending my morning going through some more documents that i received about steve fullup who's the mayor of jersey city, he's the new mayor. and when he was first elected, he wanted to have some meetings with state commissioners to kind of get acquainted and the christie administration was very happy to set up these meetings, until, and they were on the books, until fullup told the christie people that, you know what? i don't think i'm going to endorse you, and suddenly, suddenly the meetings evaporated. and let me read you one e-mail that the mayor of jersey city actually wrote to one of these port authority executives who said after the meetings had been cancelled, he said, as a side note, i'm not sure if it is a coincidence that your office cancelled a meeting several weeks back that seemed to be
11:16 am
simultaneous to other political conversations elsewhere that were happening. and he said, i sincerely hope, the two issues, the canceling of the meetings are not related as it wouldn't be in the interests of the residents of the state of new jersey. >> because that's the accusation of this whole british debacle with the port fort. >> chris christie who's clearly looking at a presidential bit wanted to get as many democrats endorsing him as he possible could because he wanted to show that he was a republican that could bring democrats into the tent. so they were going around looking for these endorsements a and once this mayor, because he's a good candidate, because he's known to be bipartisan, once this new mayor said that it's not going to happen, suddenly out of thin air, all of these meetings vaporized and by the way, all the cancellations according to the e-mail that i have, all the cancellations came
11:17 am
the same day from all the different people. >> tomorrow is the state of the state, that's a whole other conversation, does he address it? how does he address it? we'll be talking about that tomorrow. coming up here, any san francisco fans thinking of going to the seahawks-49ers game? you might have a tough time scoring only tickets. we'll tell you why your zip code might mean no tickets for some fans. hundreds of thousands of people without water may soon be able to use their tap water again. but it's what caused the toxic spill in the first place that's raising a lot of eyebrows here in west virginia. we'll discuss that next.

11:20 am
got some breaking news for you at this hour. we're learning from the pasco county sheriff's office that there has been a movie theater shooting. we know that two people, again, according to this sheriff's department, two people were shot inside, you're looking at pictures, this is the grove 16 theater. the suspect is in custody, apparently this one male suspect went inside the movie theater,
11:21 am
shot these two victims and both of these victims have since been flown out from inside this movie theater to a tampa area hospital. conditions of those two victims not yet known. but again, shooting inside this movie theater in wesley chapel, florida. for five days they have not been able to use tap water to brush their teeth, cook, bathe or drink. but at this very moment, that is changing for people in west virginia. 300,000 people in nine counties all across the state were told to stay far away from the water because it's contaminated. and developing right now, public health officials confirm the first zone, this is what they're calling it, the first zone will start using tap water. that includes the city of charleston and the east end areas, that's a-okay, home businesses should flush their plumbing systems. and these zones that were created just to keep the water
11:22 am
pipes from being overwhelmed here. but there's another development unfolding, cracks. city officials say they were found on the containment wall maintained by freedom industries, that's the chemical storage facility responsible for this leak, so these cracks, take a look at this. cnn obtained these pictures from county emergency management officials, they reportedly showed the wall where 75,000 gallons of coal chemicals leaked. and this is the water that surrounds the tank that housed the chemical. those cracks in the wall and the ages and design of the storage tanks have raised a lot of questions. senior scientist at the national resources defense council joins me, welcome. >> thank you. >> let's just back up, because first of all when people think west virginia, i think a lot of people associate that with coal,
11:23 am
right? but what people may not know is that this long storied history with regard to coal as of course an integral part of the economy, but along with that comes difficulty in regulation? >> that's correct, yeah. so in this case, i think in this particular facility, a lot of things went wrong. for one thing, i think the facility failed in its preventive measures a and they failed in monitoring so that the spill ended up happening and had to be reported to community members back to the facility. and i think in their reaction time, they failed to alert community first responders and the drinking water facility downstream. >> here's some of the facts, this is what the "new york times" is reporting and also the charlest toton gazzette, the si had not been inspected on a federal level since 2001. why this was allowed to exist on
11:24 am
a river. you read and the governor ray tomlin says we're working on this, no leak of this magnitude should every happen again, but again, it's tough in a state where coal is so central to the economy to then be regulated. it's sort of intricately linked. >> the occupational safety and health administration for example which hadn't gotten out there for several decades really has had its budget slashed and is really suffering in its enforcement and compliance ability. the chemical safety board had also tried to investigate some very serious violations by other facilities in west virginia w. those recommendations that it had made for safety had been ignored and the chemical safety board has had its budget slashed severely. so our oversight mechanisms have
11:25 am
really been suffering and the people power to get out to those facilities are really lacking. >> so do you think that at least this incident, a sliver of silver lining is that this has been raised to the forefront, but might this be exactly the vehicle that one needs to, you know, fix this? >> yeah, i hope it's an opportunity that the state will take as well as federal officials and congress when they take a look at the budget to realize that when we try and protect workers communities, and the environment. we do need to work together and government needs to be involved in that process. >> jennifer, thank you very much. >> coming up, big surprise at the box office, the most popular movie about war. but it's where americans flocked to see it that's pretty interesting. plus a dramatic river rescue caught on video in the icy waters of the chicago river and more on our breaking news at this hour, the suspect in custody after a shooting inside

the third baseman shortstop says he plan toss file a federal appeal against his 162-game suspension as early as today and an arbitrator upheld most of major league baseball's suspension of the star from that earlier season here, the break will cost the slugger $25 million. but a-rod is adamant he's being targeted by the league. just this morning, his attorney joe tacopina suggested that the league's actions are mired in dirty tactics. >> the actions taken by major league baseball against alex rodriguez are frightening. if i'm a major league baseball player right now, i'm horrified by what went down. there was criminal conduct in an effort to try to get alex rodriguez. >> tacopina also said they are not afraid of the mlb, in fact he said that he and rodriguez would agree to allow all of his

arbitration sworng trance vicini scripts. you have the 49ers, they'll be taking on the seahawk this is weekend. and when tickets for this sunday's game went on sale today, some people, and i'm talking to you californians, specifically, you were blocked from getting seats, at least if you try to go through the seattle seahawks website. really? cnn correspondent rachel nichols joins me now. i read about this this morning, and i thought, if this is true, how do they get away with this in seattle? >> you can sell your tickets to whoever you want to? and seattle wants to preserve its advantage. the crowd in seattle is the -- the crowd comes into it as the 12th member on the team. it's considered the best home field advantage of the league, they have set records on the size mom ter that measures earthquakes for how loud the crowd is. they want to preserve that and anyone who's been to a sporting event is having a tough place to play is one of the fun things
11:31 am
about having your sports team play at home. 49ers fans can buy tickets, they can buy it from stubhub, they just can't buy tickets from them. they're not going to willingly sell their tickets to the opposite team. in seattle, tickets sold out in 30 minutes. what they also want to do is give their own fans, the people that supported the team, bought the merchandise, rooted for these players all season long, they want to give them a chance to buy these tickets and not just 49ers fans. >> with the saints-seahawks fan, with last weekend with the rain and the wind, and we had seismometer out there, did it trigger any movement? >> it did record on the scale, but it didn't set a record. but hey, that's what this weekend is for. in denver, where the other playoff game is going to be, they are doing the same thing, they're limiting their ticket sales to local residents and for those in states where there's bronco fans. fans from the other team, they
11:32 am
can get tickets, no one's keeping them out of the stadium but the home team says we're not selling them to you. this new movie, it's called lone survivor, it's shaping up as a huge winner at the box office, so it tells the story, the true story of a 2005 navy s.e.a.l. mission in afghanistan. >> going in with a four-man team. atchison, myself, yates, marcus. >> it's a lot more than 10 guys, it's an army. >> just this past weekend, this film hauled in more than $38 millions. this is the second best january debut ever, knocking disney's "frozen" down to number two. the film's focus on the s.e.a.l.'s courage and heroism
11:33 am
is striking a cord with movie goers. tonight show host a.j hammer joins me from l.a. and despite these stunning numbers from the over the weekend, i hear the producers of this movie actually had trouble getting funding for the film. why? >> the studios have actually gotten a bit gun shy when it comes to these post-9/11 war movies, we have seen quite a few of them over the last few years. but there's not a great track record there. you may or may not remember the film rendition, that came out in 2007. it had a great all-star cast, it didn't do very well at the box office, same was true for stop loss. and remember her locker? even though it won an oscar, it did not pull in big box office numbers. director producer pete burg was so passionate about getting this made. he actually dropped his salary to the minimum, and he actually
11:34 am
asked the actors to do the same thing, he just felt it was that important to get made. >> it's also interesting when you really dissect who went to the movies this weekend to see lone survivor, we made this map, let me show everyone. and if you look at the map, the big ticket sales reported in states, look at the red, you have texas, utah, colorado, georgia, nevada, virginia and you see the teeny tiny red dot in southern california, that's san diego. is this a case, this is about a movie about afghan and the navy s.e.a.l.s. >> hollywood has gotten a pretty bad rap in the past with the claim that it basically ignores middle america and that was not is case here. and states with a big military presence, as you showed on your map, definitely had a huge impact over the weekend. i don't know if that was by design in making this film. but peter burg, he was the producer and the director of
11:35 am
this film. he certainly knows how to appeal to that audience. friday night lights had a very big and loyal audience in that part of the country as well. it was much more about heroism and courage than it was about foreign policy which i'm guessing helped it's appeal all across the country. >> lone survivor is the name of the film. a powerful ad featuring some pretty powerful women. i will talk with one of these women next. but first, one los angeles laker holds two nba championship rings, two silver medals but some of these biggest wins have been a off the court. on today's impact your world. >> reporter: wind gusts, 235 miles an hour. >> in 2013, one of the biggest typhoons in recorded history struck the philippines, killing
11:36 am
thousands and displacing millions. that tragedy captured much of the world's attention, including nba superstar pau gasol. >> the damage that the typhoon caused was huge and it's going to take a lot of time to rebuild. so i thought that i had to do something and utilize my position to attract others and also create awareness. >> reporter: shortly after the typhoon hit, gasol hit the court pledging $1,000 for every point he made, turns out it was a great scoring night. he racked up 24 points, making it a 24,000 donation to unicef's efforts in the philippines. it's not the first time he has teamed up with unicef. in fact he has been an ambassador for the organization for only a decade, a job gasol takes seriously. >> one thing i told unicef is that if i wanted to be a good ambassador, i need to live it. >> reporter: gasol has taken several trips to communities in

of their type 2 diabetes with non-insulin victoza®. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza®. he said victoza® is different than pills. victoza® is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once-a-day, any time, and comes in a pen. and the needle is thin. victoza® is not for weight loss, but it may help you lose some weight. victoza® is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza® has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza® is not insulin. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients.
11:47 am
symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza®, including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), which may be fatal. stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza®. it's covered by most health plans.

legassu, pat trishia st. peter defended the decision saying if you look at ashley wagner's record in performance, she's got the top credentials of any of our female athletes. aggassu was major come by emotion on saturday when she didn't make any errors. in a statement, she said i'm disappointed with the decision, although i don't agree with it, i have to respect the decision the federations have made. >> my next guest knows all about the pressures of making and doing pretty well when it comes to the olympics here. tara lepinski won gold, she beat michelschelle kwan. so you were there, you were in
11:50 am
boston saturday, and i want to get to the standing offense vision and everything and how it felt being there and everything in a minute. but explain to us nonskaters, how is this fair? >> first off, it was heart breaking to watch for both girls. obviously watching ashley fall apart on the ice, ruining her olympic chances again after four years ago not making the team. and then she skates the exhibition yesterday crying full tears because she knows she's not going. but the problem is, and it probably doesn't make sense to anyone just watching, but no one expected marai to be in third place at this national. she's had a really rough year, actually the last four seasons, she's just struggled since the vancouver olympics. and in that time, ashley wagner has really made her mark, set her standard on the international stage, has two national titles under her belt and just fell under the pressure of this one competition.
11:51 am
and with our federation, we do have certain criteria that you look at other than just making the top three. at nationals. >> okay, so that's the context. >> it's heart breaking either way. >> today you see all these pictures of marai with the tears and ashley falling. have you been in touch with any of these women? >> i have seen ashley and i know this is really a hard for her as a skater, you want to skate your best, personally, for your family and your fans. she has taken marai's so-called spot and she's going to want to live up to what she can do. i saw her in exhibition and she skated flawlessly. i think she's going to do well. >> walk me through what that pressure feels like. you know, you know what it's
11:52 am
like to win, all eyes are on you, period, tara, but now everyone knows her name and everyone's going to be watching for her. >> exactly. and it's too much pressure. and you really don't know how to prepare for it. >> how do you? >> you don't. i think what it is is training every single day, trying to prepare for any certain instance that might happen, or might surprise you and trying to stay calm. but as you can see, nationals during an olympic year is very stressful. she was trying to defend her title, but to be honest, when she stepped on the ice, i don't think she was thinking about winning, she was just thinking about trying to get introone of those three spots. >> what are you doing now quickly? >> i work with nbc now so i'll be going so sochi with them as an analyst. >> thank you so much, tara lepinski calling in here and
11:53 am
talking about all that happened in boston over the weekend. >> coming up the decision is in on the so-called cursing toddler. we can tell you today this little one and this teenaged mother can live together in a foster home. we'll talk about the legality of all of this and how this impacts -- just think of the mother, she's 16 and now she's going to live at a foster home. plus protest in texas about a pregnant woman being kept on life support even though her husband says she did not want to be kept alive. the state disagrees. we'll take you live to dallas next.

11:56 am
pretty incredible pictures of this rescue, this is a very frigid and icy chicago river here. one man is dead, a woman is missing presumed dead. after three people fell in the river trying to reach a dropped cell phone. these are the pictures of the rescue, the man who died today of his injuries, was the first to fall in, first to reach for the phone after climbing over the fence. his friends climbed over to help, both fell into the freezing, freezing waters, the search for the missing woman continues. a national debate about end of life care plays out on the streets of ft. worth, texas. some protesters were for, others against the actions of john peter smith hospital. it is refusing to remove the
11:57 am
ventilator of a brain dead woman. she suffered a blood clot in her lung while pregnant, her fetus was 14 weeks old at the time when she became brain dead. her family wants to pull the life support saying it is what munos would have wanted. >> i just don't want the hospital or if it does go to court to forget that there is a child involved, her family doesn't want life support for her. and we don't feel it's right for the state or the hospital to force this on her. >> let's go to texas to dallas to ed lavender are and the husband of marlice munos is -- was all this wrangling become mute because of the fetus's viability? >> you would think so. right now we're 21 weeks along for this fetus, roughly, about
11:58 am
25, 26 is when the fetus outside of the womb could be viable. but the family and attorneys for the munos family are telling us we don't know the condition at this point of this fetus. but what they are still trying to do is trying to work out the legal strategy in moving ahead against the hospital here in ft. worth, john peter smith hospital. they say that they can't speak publicly beyond a few statements about her condition because of privacy laws, but they insist that they are on the right side of the law. but, brooke, what is interesting we got a chance to speak with two of the people who were involved with the crafting of this law in the late 1990s, if indeed marlice munos is brain dead, then the hospital is on the wrong side of the law. >> if she's brain dead, she's
11:59 am
dead, so letting her die is not really the concept. but can you take her off of the ventilator? i think you can. surrogate decision makers make that decision with their doctors every day, not just in texas, but around the country. >> brooke, there are about 30 states across the country that have similar laws to this on the books. of that, there's a small group of about 10 or so states that have the strictest laws, texas is one of those. but i spoke with their attorneys last week and they're researching the law trying to figure out what the strategy moving forward will be. >> i know you're on it, we'll be in close touch with you on whams here. let me take you quick low hire to florida as we have been learning about this movie theater shooting in wesley chapel, florida. this is the theater we are talking about, there were two people inside this theater who were shot by this man, but the
12:00 pm
man, the suspect is in custody, the two victims were then flown to the hospital, their conditions at this point still unknown. this happening in wesley chapel, florida. . top of the hour, i'm brooke baldwin, and to a story we have been following so closely for you, this cursing toddler. this little boy, back in the headlines here, you have seen this video, it has gone viral. this little guy is cursing and swearing at the urging of a couple, you hear these voices off camera. manipulating this little boy. he has been in protective custody and we should note, so has his mother, because she's only 17. a little while ago, a nebraska juvenile court judge ruled that the boy and his mom should stay together, but both of them will have to be placed with the same foster family, possibly as soon as tomorrow. jane velez-mitchell from hln
12:01 pm
joins me and stacy kaiser, a psychotherapist as well. this call on behalf of this judge, does it surprise you that he would want to keep these two together, she's the biological mother after all. do you think it's the right decision? >> i'm smiling because i think this is the right decision. this is a child as well, she's 17 at most. it's easy to talk about gang activity, it's a big problem, but the big problem that's the elephant in the room that nobody talks about is children having children. this child is at most 17. her toddler son is 2, that means that she was barely a teenager when she got pregnant. that is the problem, the underlying problem, children cannot raise children properly. >> but they're going to be kept together as per the decision from this judge and they're going to live in a foster home. and my question to you, she is a child in the eyes of the law, 16 when the video was shot, 17 now, but she has been presumably, as the biological mother the head of the household. so what is this like for her to
12:02 pm
then move in with a foster family? >> well, i think that she also needs a certain amount of parenting and i think it's great to get this mother and child away from what is, i think, a cycle of violence and thuggery. the problem was that the police union posted this video of this child and used this innocent 2-year-old as a poster child for the cycle of violence and thuggery. and i have two problems with that. and i think it's very unfair to predict that this child will become a thug. some people as head of the united states have grown up in abuse sif house holds and have risen above it. that's one problem. the second problem is to generalize, there was a sort of read between the lines message with the posting, these people are the problem. a lot of people took offense and said there were racial overtones. a child of neglect knows no socioeconomic boundaries that
12:03 pm
there's rich parents of chocks that neglect their children, they do it in slightly different ways. it's always a danger to generalize and stereotype. let's look at this particular family, that's what the police union is doing now, they're doubling downing, they're claiming this family is dysfunctional, all sorts of problems, the father is dead of apparent gun violence at age 17. there are grand parents who have records. >> i go back to this mother who is a child under the law but she's probably predominantly been the head of the household. what is it like for her? and how can she be successful? what is this transition process for her. >> she's going to have a sense of relief that she can relax and focus on growing herself up and raising that child. but i also think it's going to be challenging for her because she has been in charge and she's
12:04 pm
going have to defer so it's going to be one of those things that's going to be a transition, it's going to take that family who's brought them both in some time. i'm really hoping that they get good foster parents who can handle both a young child and a 16-year-old and guide them through this so that they can be successful, being a teen mom is very, very hard. >> we heard from the mom, she spoke with affiliate ketv, she said she wasn't in the room when this back and forth happened, it was an uncle, apparently. but she was saying, look, all kids cuss, defending this little boy's actions. that's inexcusable in my opinion. >> absolutely inexcusable. >> stacy, go ahead. >> i was going say that i completely agree with you and it just shows her naive -- she really needs a good education, which most teenaged mothers do on what appropriate
12:05 pm
developmental stages are for children. >> off to a foster family, i'm hoping things turn around. a bomb squad is still on the scene at this high school just outside of houston, a suspicious package has been found at seven lakes high school, this is katy, texas. the bomb squad still trying to figure out what this suspicious device is. we're told by our affiliate, it's potentially explosive. but you're looking at all these pictures, these are students, these are high school staff that are now scattered across this football field because they had been evacuated some time ago. parents have now been allowed to enter school grounds, so that has changed. parents you can head to the school to pick up your children, we're making phone calls, continuing to stay on this story. as soon as we have an update for you, we'll pass it along. a sigh of relief for folks in west virginia for people who have not been able to bathe, to cook, to drink the tap water
12:06 pm
because of this chemical spill. officials say that includes downtown charleston and neighborhoods in the east end of town, this is the area if you can follow me on the map, this is the area highlighted in blue. but in the red, which is clearly predominantly on your screen, that's still the area where you can't use the water, nine counties, 300,000 people have been affected. cnn's alexander field is live in charleston with an update for us. so this is at least some good news for some people in the so-called zone one, so they're in the clear, am i correct? >> reporter: yeah, and they have been waiting days for it. by the end of the day the goal is for those people to be able to turn on their faucets and finally have usable water. but the 225,000 people are still getting by on bottledled water, something they have been doing since thursday. as the water is restored, and
12:07 pm
there's no exact timeline for when everyone been restored, the question is how did this happen in the first place. the department of environmental protection said they had not had inspectors out there since 1991, what we know is this plant was a chemical storage facility, that's different from a facility that would have manufactured chemicals. in that case the plant was required to have air or water pollution permits so inspectors didn't have to go out there. right now the dep is saying that in the wake of? leak, they are looking at ways that they could improve oversight in the future or add aadditional guidelines from these companies to operate under. here's what the dep is saying today. >> we're also at the governor's request developing some proposals for how we might more
12:08 pm
properly regulate these facilities in order to minimize the risk of a spill. >> reporter: tlrlt so tlrt so the primary focus is on getting the water -- chemical storage that it may have around the sta state. >> we have got the sheriff on the phone, pasco county sheriff, chris nocko. let's begin with what we know. we have been reporting according to you that there was a movie theater shooting some time ago, two people shot, suspect in custody, tell me what you know at this hour? >> reporter: what we know at this hour is that the pasco sheriff's department received a call about a shooting in one of our movie theaters, our deputies did an outstanding job arriving here on scene. this was an isolated incident
12:09 pm
between two people. we have seen it in america a few times. what happened was that the victim was sitting in a row, behind him was the suspect. there was an altercation because the victim was using a cell phone, he was texting, he was making a lot of noise. this led to a verbal altercation, the verbal altercation escalated so the suspect fled and the victim died of the injuries, there's another person injured. but this is an ongoing investigation right now. >> you are telling me that there was someone texting in the movie theater, and the individual sitting behind him, frustrated with the texting pulled out a gun and shot him and killed him? this is what you're telling me? sheriff? >> hello, can you hear me? >> i can hear you, i'm sorry, i'm just incredulous at the moment. you're telling me there was somebody in the movie theater and somebody was texting and so
12:10 pm
the man pulled out a gun and shot him and that victim died. >> i'm having some technical phone difficulties here. >> okay, let's try to work it out. sheriff, i want to make sure you can hear me crystal clear. >> i can hear you now. >> did these two people know each other, the texter sitting in the row a and the suspect? >> no, there was absolutely no indication they knew each other, these are two people that fate just brought them together, at this movie theater at this time. and it was just an altercation over the cell phone that we know led to the shooting. >> was this during a movie? sheriff? >> i'm sorry, i think i heard, it was before the movie, it was actually during the previews. >> so we're talking two victims. so was there an individual sitting next to the person who was texting a and that person was shot as well? >> there was a person sitting next to the victim. we're not sure if that was an intended shot or if it was a rick say or how that person was injured, but that person was
12:11 pm
also take on the the hospital and i'm not sure of their condition right now. >> where was the intended victim hit? >> yes, there was two victims. >> where on the body was the intended victim hit? >> i can't -- at this time, i'm not sure. that's still part of the investigation. >> okay. >> sheriff chris nocko, pasco county, florida, a shooting involving someone who pulled out his or her phone to text which led to an individual sitting behind him in the movie theater to pull out a gun and shoot him. and it sounds like, kill him. that's what happened today in wesley chapel, florida. happening now, we are waiting for this southwest airlines plane to take off. may sound normal, this is far from it, the plane landed a at the wrong airport, now it has to take off at a runway that is just about half of the run way it should be taking off from. we're learning exactly what will happen to the pilots also who

12:15 pm
a spokeswoman from southwest adds that both pilots had been flying with southwest for more than 13 years. let me just explain to how how this plane landed at the wrong airport. passengers on a flight from chicago's midway airport headed to missouri, specifically brans branson, missouri's airport. they had an incredibly bumpy landing, and once they landed, they realized they were in the wrong place. >> we landed and as i said, there was a hard landing, there was burned rubber. the pilot then came on and said welcome to branson, but didn't say anything else. then he comes on about five minutes later and says we have landed at the wrong airport, we have landed at clark field which is near branson airport. >> it's about seven miles away burks the intended airport was
12:16 pm
not this one, the county airport doesn't usually handle big jets like the one you're looking at because it's only half as long. richard quest joins me from new york, and as we wait for this thing to take off, and you say it should be a-ok no problem. just walk me through, the challenge of this sized jet from the teeny tiny run way. >> it's a very simple challenge, is the run way long enough for the plane to get up enough speed so that the wings create lift? it's the same thing that happens every single flight that anybody ever takes. of course normally the run way is 7,000, 8,000, 9 ,000, 10,000 feet long if you're going to put a 747 in the air. here you only have 3,700 feet and change. in branson, you may use half the run way, three-quarters of the
12:17 pm
run way. it will have the barest, minimum fuel necessary, they want to keep that 737 as light as possible. but, they do know that with the weather temperature, and the speed, and the length of the run way, it's a matter of physics, the plane will get to 160, 172 miles an hour, at the right place and it will lift off. >> so last night, when this plane landed on the wrong runway, they had to hit the brakes because there is ultimately a bit of a cliff at the edge of the tarmac, and beyond that, there's a highway, right? >> yes, and the warnings in their blogs in the airport log of this runway makes quite clear that there's a very steep drop at the end, there is no runoff area. but for the pilots involved, thinking they were landing at branson with 7,000 feet -- >> they didn't realize until
12:18 pm
half they landed. >> they would have done. believe me, when they came over the threshold a and they suddenly realized that a lot of runway was moving under them a and the red lights at the end of the run way were coming faster toward them, they would have realized. they will have pushed very hard, you would have had maximum reverse thrust, you would have had the spoilers up, you would have had the brakings on full. that's why one of the people said they smelled rubber. they will have been doing everything possible to stop that. because frankly, maximum landing weight and the landing weight force this aircraft, they may well have been getting close to the minimums for this particular plane on this particular runway. >> well, we watch and we wait, richard quest, this thing was supposed to take off an hour and 15 minutes ago, we'll check in once we see some movement on that tarmac in missouri there. would you be willing to leave everything behind for an
12:19 pm

12:22 pm
. ever since the debut of mtv's "16 and pregnant j there has been a debate about whether this reality show is actually a good thing for teenagers or simply glamorizes teen pregnancy. >> our relationship turned rocky pretty quickly. one day he would be sweet and nice, then the next day he would break it off. >> when did you first start having sex with josh? >> when we were dating for like six months. >> so that's a clip of the show. this is fascinating today because a new study makes a
12:23 pm
scientific case for supporters and it has some serious weight behind it. two economics process fors, one from wellsly, the other from the university of maryland. their work is published today in the sbashl -- we find that "16 and pregnant" led to more searches and tweets regarding birth control and abortion and led to a 5.7% reduction in teen births in the 18 months following its introduction. the show began, if you have not been watching, began back in 2009. joining me now, juone of the study's authors from wellsly college. gentlemen, welcome to both of you. >> thank you. >> professor, first to you, i mean this is -- this had our whole team talking today. you looked at trends, you looked at tweets. how can you conclude that a tv show caused a reduction in teen
12:24 pm
births? >> well, we do a couple of things in our analysis. as you mentioned, we look at searches and tweets. to see what people are looking for online. you know, exactly the days that the show was on. and you see these spikes in activity that look like people are searching for things like how do i get birth control, tweeting about birth control being -- "16 and pregnant" being the best form of contraception. that's part of our analysis, but then we go on to look at the actual birth dates werks have all the births that occurred in the united states over the last several years, we looked at the place where is "16 and pregnant" was more popular on the basis of neilson ratings are the place where is we see large declines in teenaged child bearing and that's what we see. >> you looked as all this data, did you get it down to how many pregnants were prevented? do you have anne estimation the?
12:25 pm
>> i think the relevant estimate there is approximately 20,000 teen births per year are not occurring because of the existence of "16 and pregnant." >> this show is still on the air, how well does it do ratings wise? >> it can be among the most popular shows on mtv when new episodes are on. and i find the study so fascinating because mtv has surmised this and suggested this was the case for several years but now there's scientific data to back it up using things like neilson ratings and tweets to actually prove it. this is something thi saw a con blog hot air today point out that if there's science behind positive things that mtv has, i'm sure there's skings behind negative things that happen as well. >> on the positive outcome, professor, and this is my final question to you, you've gone
12:26 pm
through all of, you have come out with this study, what is the take away? should there be more programming like this on television? >> i certainly think that one of the messages you get from this study is that media can matter. it can certainly be context specific. and in there 34r5r context, it seems like it -- we're not saying it's object positive. but in this particular application, it seems like it was. in terms of the particular instance of teen child bearing, do i think it should be promoted as a way to reduce teen pregnancy? yes, i do think that? >> let's continue this conversation with some other guests here because we wanted to delve further into the why. practicing physician hln host dr. drew pinsky and stacy kaiser from the cliff side malibu treatment center. and dr. drew, you have been saying all long, you predicted this. >> not only did i predict it, i got involved with this project specifically because i knew for
12:27 pm
sure it would have this effect. the reason being, anyone working with teenagers knows you can give them lots of information, the three of us in a box, they will learn the information we give them. but it will not change their behavior. the way you change a teen and young adult's behavior is with a relatable source, a teen counseling model, where they have seen the struggles they can relate to and that will change their behavior. there was never any doubt in my mind that it would have that effect. to suggest that teenagers don't learn from these things or that somehow they would make unhealthy choices is to suggest that teens are unsophisticated, maybe not so smart and sick when in fact they are very smart and they take this information and they apply it appropriately. >> dr. drew, you talk about relatable people, like these teenagers in this tv show. but for people who have never seen the show, i mean what exactly, how far does it go? it's pretty graphic, isn't it? >> it just shows -- yes, well, listening a teenager's life can
12:28 pm
be destroyed by a pregnant si. the outcome zeta on what happens to their life. the thing that strikes home very deeply, is how destroyed their relationships are, how their relationships never seem to work out. there's secondary pregnants, there's addictions, there's domestic violence, there's inability to go to school or to get work. and now finally, they're getting those messages. the national campaign to end teen and unwanted pregnancy has been behind this from the beginning because they like i have been struggling with this for years and knew it would have a positive effect. >> stacy, do you agree with dr. drew? >> i second everything he said and i want to add this, when teenagers are teenagers, they're not so interested in the influence of their parents. we can tell them over and over again what the right thing to do is, but when they see them in action, when they see the struggles that these kids are
12:29 pm
going through on tv, they really learn from it. i have two teenaged daughters and i watched it with them and a lot of people said you're nuts. it's been educational to my kids, they have seen it first hanged. they have said i don't want to go through what these kids are going through. they learn that and they make decisions accordingly. >> other shows like celebrity rehab, other shows about social problems, addiction, et cetera, did you think they would have the same effect? >> that's the reason i do these shows. it started back with sort of a nye yi model. ive you have a caller calling in with a difficult problem, they'll be drawn in by that story and then they'll listen to the advice that we give them. thls how media can have a positive effect. and make no mistake, media can have a negative effect too. i knew that years and years ago and i have been trying to wrestle it -- at the very
12:30 pm
minimum, we have learned that these sorts of stories and models of relatable sources have the sort of effects we like to see. >> it's absolutely fascinating when you think of the effect it's having on young people in this county troy. calls for impeachment, a state of the address, more possible subpoenas because of the whole bridge scandal. of course talking chris christie, did i mention a tourism ad featuring his family? busy week ahead for this man, but can he overcome all of this? we are live in trenton. plus a woman goes to the funeral of her mother only to find it's not her mom in the casket. it's some other woman. and there are now questions from st. martin in the caribbean to canning da canada to rhode island, shocking story next.

enemies file. kept formal lists, i am talking spreadsheets, of people who had done the boss wrong. they included the late ted kennedy, an early backer of clinton's rival barack obama. also on the list, jay rockefeller, claire mccaskill, bobby casey, patrick leahy. it sounds a little -- memories of president nixon here. >> enemies list. i think this is a little bit different. because if hillary clint and bill clinton had an enemy list, democratic senators would not be on the enemies list. this is more a list of naughty and nice. what democrats out there, who they expected to be nice, who they counted on being nice, were naughty. you know, a lot of politicians have lists like these in their
12:54 pm
brains. let's be honest. a lot of people have lists like these in their brains, who's been good to me, who's been bad to me. >> you don't have one of those, to you, tapper? >> you've been good to me, you're on the right side of the ledger. the idea of putting it all there in an organized way. >> with points. >> also having it continue years after the primaries is what makes this the juicy nug ets from this pending book that it is. >> i am also hearing there is a nice list, the clintons staff kept a friends list, but we can't find that anywhere. do we know if it exists? >> the problem is, they didn't win. so they didn't have any way of rewarding those people. look, president obama, if you want to look at the people who are on his nice list, look at his cabinet. a lot of the people who are on the hillary clinton naughty list, kathleen sebelius, former governor from kansas, napolit o
12:55 pm
napolitano, former governor of arizona, john kerry, these people are in the cabinet. they were there for obama when he needed them, he gives them jobs. he does reward them with posts that they want in his administration. let's be honest, also, a lot of the reason why a lot of people endorsed obama was because they thought he was going to win. ultimately, that was one of the reasons. i don't want to justify an enemies list because it is disconcerting but you can understand why when you read about some of these people, why the clintons would be upset when people they've gone out of their way to help end up endorsing barack obama, i could see that. >> you didn't ask me where you fall on my list. >> i assume that i jump back and forth, i mean, that's just based -- >> how did you know? >> well, because that's where i am on most people's lists. >> believe it. jake tapper, starts in just a

watching the southwest plane. it's moving. chad myers joining me here. this is the plane, it landed at the wrong airport last night. it was supposed to land at branson airport, ended up at this graham clark downtown airport about seven miles distance. but the big issue was the difference in distance in the run ways. >> i mean,ly the really, we talked to richard quest earlier, he said this takeoff will be easy compared to the landing yesterday when they had full brakes, full reverse thrusters. this is still a short runway. we've been watching for the wind to maybe help the plane out a little bit. it will be coming out of the west. not much help. you want it out of the north so the plane can take off with a little bit of wind help. a cross wind doesn't really help here. 3,700 feet for this thing to take off. both engines are running and lights are flashing. >> there are no passengers on board. this is as light as they could get this plane. these passengers were bussed
