after the escape. the state social services has suspended field trips for mental patients while an investigation is done. almost everyone who's gotten on our facebook page this morning has been talking about that story. shirley says, field trip? why on earth are they getting field trips in the first place? field trips for murderers? what's next, golf outings for o.j.? you're welcome to make your comments on our facebook page. nonstop rain in the southeast is washing people out of homes and stranding drivers. this car wound up in water over its wheels. the red cross is helping dozens of families whose homes have flooded. in a few minutes meteorologist bob van dillen is going to tell you when that's going to be letting up. new this morning, firefighters inside a mangled greyhound bus to free the driver. it collided with a tractor trailer on the new jersey

denied ever seeing them. he said he must have unintentionally down loaded them as part of a religious book. he claims he later deleted the book when he realized it talked about jihad. >> the fbi also intercepted calls between him and the two other defendants. are they saying what they heard? >> agents are saying the third suspect in this case, ahmed afzali warned zazi agents were tracking to him. don't get into afghanistan garbage, iraq garbage, listen, our phone call is being monitored. he's been an informant for the new york place in the past. he told zazi investigators asked him him and his father who he describes as innocent, law-abiding people. >> thank you. we'll continue to cover this story for you. right now more people have alzheimer's disease than scientists predicted a few years ago. a new report from an international alzheimer's organization says 35 million people are living with some form of dementia.

happy birthday if it's your birthday today. did you know you share it with bill murray? he turns 59 today. and stephen king will be blowing out a few more candles today. he is turning 62. he doesn't normally watch this hour. a new york rabbi is worried synagogues may be targets for terrorists. he's teaching others how to join his god squad.

more college kids are answering the call to duty. more lured by the promise of free tuition. many rotc programs are booming. the army needs more officers, so last year, it handed out more than 3,000 scholarships. students are snatching them up even with two wars go on. a new york rabbi is teaching

antiterror tactics to synagogues. wow. that's a sample of what the former cop and black belt teaches. he's been warning that synagogues are becoming fair targets and they're not doing enough to beef up security. his showmanship is a big draw. >> rambo, the god squad, i don't know where people come up or think about these things. >> i like the god squad. he even teaches how to turn a prayer shaw into a weapon. >> like a jewish james bond. that will get you to go to temple. >> that is fascinating video. all right. talk about making a grand entrance. a former nfl player parachuted into the stadium when he was being honored by his former

team. good morning. >> it's great video, but because of your expertise at parachuting, we have actually learned something. >> what i think he did wrong there was -- you're supposed to lift up your seat. >> i love it. we're going to show you that video again. we're talking about shannon sharpe. he used to play for denver, so it was a big day for him, being inducted in the the bronco's ring of honor. >> no, no, no. >> see the poor guy like try to hold him up. that's okay. it was a big day for you. they put his name up on the stadium wall there, then the very touching moment. he had his big moment and speech. he's a tough guy, but broke down there. and they were both in "gq" and now, it's time to square off on the field. mark sanchez led the jets to

their first win over tom brady and new england since 2000. it made brady look down right ugly. and this in, mark sanchez is now dating gisele. i'm kidding. they're married. >> kidding. >> and the super bowl champion pittsburgh steelers lost a stunner to the bears. two big hits in this one. first tight end greg olsen collides with tyrone carter. yeah, that's pretty bad. let's give you another angle from that up close. this is going to leave a mark. he got up. both guys got up. then jay cutler gets blindsided by the ref right here. gee, jay, watch where you're walking. bears would win in a dramatic come-from-behind win on a field goal from robbie gould. and the cowboys, you heard they got a new stadium. remember that big beautiful jumbotron? that's a big tv screen. would any punts hit it? that's what we all wanted to know. tgi friday's going to hand out the free green bean fries if i f. any did. this one came close, but no, no punts did, but a kicker was the story of the game as the giants'

lawrence tynes hit a field goal in the final seconds to give new york the win, spoiling the cowboys' home opener. and lastly, as if we haven't played enough wacky video, cardboard kayak races. i love the bishop hat that the one guy has over there. you can only use cardboard and duct tape. and you could actually -- you could have used a real kayak paddle. that woman could have used it. that's a look at sports. >> it's all about the duct tape. you've got to coat the whole boat in it. okay, bobby. >> peachtree street in atlanta, right? >> this whole region's gotten so much rain. >> you talk about rain, robin, we have it once again in atlanta. flooding out there. also delays at the airport. it's only a 38-minute delay right now, but i expect that to grow to over an hour for atlanta because of the low clouds. also, charlotte looking at thunderstorms there, but shorter delays, about 30 minutes to 60 minutes. dallas some storms. san francisco morning fog a possibility, but if you're headed to the bay area keep this in mind. 90s through the next couple days. heat advisories in san francisco. more of that, robin, in about a

half hour. >> thank you. a legally insane killer is back behind bars but only after days out on the town starting with a trip to the county fair. first, though, the red carpet fashion at the emmys. so let's look at how everybody looked. let me look at how they looked. d
