it's a controversial move, but it's one the pastor says he hopes will pay off with a powerful message. a church. all right. but first, happening right now, an intense search for nine people missing off the coast of southern california. they disappeared after the collision of a coast guard plane and marine helicopter. it happened a little after 7:00 local time last night. 25 miles east of san clemente island. weather conditions are good but that survivors would still be at risk. >> just off the coast 64, 65 degrees. how long you can survive in that is going to depend on your body type, what you're wearing. so i don't know all the individuals involved in this and what they were wearing but 65-degree water is cold, much colder than your body temperature so hypothermia is a threat. >> here is what we know about the crash.

it happened and involved a coast guard c-130 with seven people onboard. and a marine corps ah-1 chopper carrying two people. another pilot reported seeing a fireball near the crash site. and debris has been spotted in the water. dentists, pharmacists, emts and other health care workers will be able to get the h1n1 vaccine shots in new york state. that is part of a state of emergency governor david p paterson declared yesterday. h1n1-related cases have grown in new york state. 75 people have died. take a look at this early taste of winter in colorado. this is part of a storm hitting several western states. hundreds of schools and businesses were closed in denver yesterday because there was so much snow. it's also creating problems on the road obviously. >> it's important people know they're not out of the woods yet. as the roads give the appearance of starting to clear off, they

look like they're wet or slushy, that's the time it may be most precarious. >> that is too mid-february looking, wasn't it? the storm forced a lot of flights out of denver to be canceled yesterday. they will try to work at a full schedule today. what are the chances it's going to happen, though? bob van dillen, good morning. still some flurries out there but look at this. we have blizzard warnings for eastern colorado, the northwestern part of kansas into nebraska, too. all the pink shaded counties popping up. the red shaded counties winter storm warnings. heavy snow again right now. should taper off this afternoon and falls apart a little bit. get a load of the north platte radar. the steady stream of snow continues to fall at the rate of about an inch an hour, maybe even two when we start seeing these green shades pop up. that is all heavy snow there by the morning. by later this afternoon it is gone. flooding rains for the mississippi valley in a couple of minutes, robin. >> blizzard warnings where

americans. >> this is why this legislation is important. affordability for our middle class. it lowers cost for every patient, reins in premiums, co-pays and deductibles, limits out-of-pocket costs and lifts the cap on what insurance companies cover each year. >> an analysis finds the total bill's cost could top $1 trillion. that's with a "t." the new taxes and regulations would kill jobs and do little to curb health care costs, they say. an american contractor is talking about what it was like inside a deadly attack on the u.n. compound in afghanistan. john turner says he grabbed an ak-47 and gave cover fire wednesday as about 25 people ran from taliban gunmen storming the compound. he's credited with saving their lives. >> the real heroes of this conflict were the men who died,

the afghan security, the afghan police and the u.n. guards that died in this battle. i just happened to be the last man standing with a gun so i was the one who ultimately protected the people behind me from being blown up by the suicide bomber. >> that man's name is chris turner. the secretary-general called for more security for staff in afghanistan. today president obama will hear from the joint chiefs of staff about the possibility of sending more u.s. troops there. now the army and marine corps already have said that they're worried that that would make it tougher to give troops promised time at home between their deployments. two burglar suspects wore disguises they just could not get rid of. it is one of the most popular stories on cnn.com. take a look. the suspects used permanent marker. duh. it did not take long to track them down for obvious reasons. the police chief admits finding it hilarious and joked, that's what you get when you get the
