>> osgood: think about it. whether it's improving our day-to-day lives or surviving sudden calamity, there's no substitute for clear-headed mental discipline a. growing number of people they know how to find that. our cover story is reported by mo rocca. >> by the time we hit the ground, we hit the ground pretty heavily the plane spun around, twisted, we were thrown about. there was a great deal of chaos immediately inside the plane. >> the cabin was filled with smoke? >> the smoke was now coming up the aisle very quickly. thick, black jet fuel smoke. thick and noxious. and susan that said to me, i'll never make it. i'm choking already. >> allan lokos and his wife susannah were on vacation when their plane crash landed in the southeast asian nation of

allan managed to get his wife out of the plane, but when it was his turn to escape -- >> i caught my foot on something. and i was stuck there. so in a nutshell i was now standing in fire. >> even he was engulfed in flames lokos didn't panic. do you think that came from medication? >> absolutely. you're in fire. so it's a frightening situation. but there was also a sense of calm with that. >> lokos, a practicing buddhist and experienced head take for made it out. but with burns covering 33% of hiss body, survival was a long shot. >> every doctor who saw me, they all said the same thing, you can't survive these injuries. >> but lokos did recover. and he says his ability to remain calm, cultivated from meditating seven times a day for 20 years, is a big part of why

>> can you speculate on how things would have gone at that moment had you not been calm? >> i would be pretty certain that i would have died in the plane. the person right behind me did. >> it may seem like a stretch that years of medication, the act of focused quiet thought made the difference between life and death in a devastating plane crash. but it's a proposition that's being taken more seriously than ever before. dr. john denninger is director of research at the benson-henry institute for mind body medicine in boston, massachusetts. >> i have no doubt that that kind of mental training would enable you to essentially put aside the stuff that your body is yelling "emergency" and enable you to attain certain calmness in the face that have.

like they're in passive state their brains are very much active. and medication, denninger says, has benefits way beyond staying calm. >> true or false, meditation can help you lose weight? >> true. >> it can help you lower blood pressure? >> absolutely true. >> medication helps with irritable boil syndrome. >> true. >> helps you sleep better. >> true. >> can help you quit smoking. >> true. >> studies have shown that it may have effect on the cellular level, too, slowing the effects of aging and increasing neuroplasticity which is the ability of the brain to grow new brain cells and develop new connections. >> they thought that once you was gone. that has clearly been shown not to be the case. and one of the clear findings is that meditation has the ability to actually make certain brain regions thicker. and that means that there is a

>> it's a long way from when meditation was seen as strictly alternative medicine. >> and in this country we're safely out of the woo-woo zone in terms of perception? >> not entirely out of the zone. we are in terms of what the science says. in terms of what people believe, there are plenty of people who still like, they hear the word meditation they pooh-pooh it. >> about 18 million americans medicaid. >> i'm meditating 37 years. >> using it for almost 40 years. >> includeing some very names. >> i started meditation on july 1st, 1973, on a sunny saturday morning at 11:00. >> one of them is director david lynch. you remember not just the date you remember what the day was like. >> i remember it as if it was yesterday.

i've been meditating twice a day for over 41 years and never missed a meditation. >> it might come as a surprise to learn that lynch, the director of such dark movies as "blue velvet" and "mulholland drive" calls himself a, questions, bliss ninny. he practices transcendental meditation also known as tm. >> people see things like stress, traumatic stress, tension, anxiety, sorrow, depression, hate, anger and fear start to lift away. so it's like pure gold coming in from within and garbage going out. >> for lynch, and its adhere rents tm and repetition of personalized mantra, can can help free the mind from what he calls, the rubber clown suit of

>> it's suffocating, it stinks, it's heavy and you start meditating with transcendental meditation from a legitimate teacher. >> in 2005 he began the david lynch foundation for consciousness based education and world peace. one of its goals, to teach students, like the ones at this school in los angeles, how to meditate. >> i don't. >> that's the way i felt. >> i take the meditation, it makes me want to come to school. >> did anybody here when you first heard about meditation think, okay, that sounds kinda weird? >> i did. >> you both did? >> so did i? >> did you, too. >> i thought like when you crossed your legs and you hold your hands.

these students meditate. >> it just helps me get my day going. everything that's bad, like, go away. i just think of the positive things. >> makes me become like more, i don't know, like become more happy within myself. and like, i, like, become, i guess, more patient with others. >> when i'm in a better mood my family is in a better mood. i don't argue as much with my sister. when i get home after i meditate i'm just in a good mood. i feel better about the day. nothing bugs me. >> principal jennifer garcia says her school, like 43 others that have adopted the program have changed for the better. >> kids are calm. they're not taking stuff out on each other. they are really engaged in wanting to be helpful with each other. it's a different place. >> a sense ever ease to come through the body. >> allan lokos never expected to get back to this place. he resumed teaching his weekly

only four months after the plane crash that almost killed him and almost a full year before doctors expected him to be on his feet at all. >> if it happens to help save your life in a plane crash, that's terrific. let's hope that that's not how it happens. but i think most of us, if not all of us, who do this see changes in our life every day that are significant, for me, that's just great.

with aggravated in decent assault against a woman in 2004. thursday saw new year's eve fire at luxury hotel in dubai that created spectacular flames but remarkably few injuries. on friday, a gunman opened fire outside a bar in tel aviv killing two and wounding at least three others. and saturday, we learned of the death of former arkansas governor and senator dale bumpers at the age of 90. >> there's no support inside that whole building. it's all on the outside. >> a day trip to chicago is just ahead. i'm bill and i quit smoking with chantix. i decided to take chantix to shut everybody else up about me quitting smoking.

but i didn't think it was going to really happen. after one week of chantix, i knew i could quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, whichcould get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop c cntix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you haveheart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side effect is nausea. being a non-smoker feels great. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. everyone needs a bff. even your smile. colgate optic white toothpaste

in fact, it whitens more than the leading express whitening strip. it's your smile bff. whiten more just by brushing. >> osgood: we speak of chicago and a skyline that attracts people by the boat load. >> if broadway hits the heights and hollywood tops the box office. >> if you go up about 15 stories, there's an outcropping, kind of a shoulder. >> it's considered the birth place of the modern skyscraper and theity has made architecture one of its main tourist attractionsns. >> it was completed in 1898 it

>> on any given day dozens of architecture touou wind through e city's waterways and streets. >> this is 1983. what i like about the building is every pane of glass the edge pinched ino it bubbles out a little bit. >> the buildings are considered works of art and their designers treated like directors are in hollywood. >> this is going to look like bent glass. >> do architects get more respect in chicago than they do in other places? >> i think so. we don't haveovie stars or the film industry. >> you got michael jordan. >> yeah, he's pretty famous, too. so athletes a architects. >> architectural giants like frank lloyd wght, mies van der

see that building, the one that looks like waves. that's her design aptly named aqua. >>hen i'm l lking in a taxi or someone points out our building, my building, taken aback. it'seen draining into the coective memory of the city at this point. it's exciting for me. >> but this incredible skyline was born out of tragedy the great chicago fire of 1871. the fireecimated the city's wooden structures, leaving an estimated 00 people dead. reconstruction soon followedf a process that would redefine both the city and theountry. if you think about the history of new york it was a dutch settlement and chicago really is the beginning of american city planning. >> and this year marks another

architectural history, inaugural chicago architectural biennial. it's a combination of exhibit d think tank devoted entirely to architectural ideas. sarah herd sacks one of its directors. >> we have over 130 participants from 340 countries onn six continents. we really wanted to create a global platform to talk about what's most urgent in architecture today. >> one topic on the tablele affordable housing. >> this was built for how much money? >> $3500 u.s. >> this is bamboo? >> a thatched bamboo. it does have a steel frame. the idea that this house could be constructed within a day and that you would never need more than two people to hold any one piece ofofhe building. >> which is incredible. >> yes. >> other exhibits challenge conventional design like this reinvented office space.

>> we climb in here. and no matter where you are in this construction you're never sitting. >> why is this something that's considered architecture? >> it's absolutely about redefining space. it's creating a new environment for work to replace the office cubicle, to probably more familiar with. >> perhaps the most talked about exhibit is reimagined police station by jeanne gang, the design intended to help build trust between police and citizens. a topic on the minds of many in chicago. >> we divided the police station to two partsa secure area and more public zone, mental health services, for example. nutritionist, computer lab. those are things that we felt could reanimate the police station and make it more of place that people want to come to. the architecture biennial ends this week but will return

chicago's tradition of inventive archchectural design. >> it is a kind of dignity that good architecture can bring to every day life. i think that the architects in this exhibition are really concerned with just that. >> osgood: still to come. >> we're going to tijuana for the weekend. >> osgood: with lily tomlin.

make-up, money and the movies. >> osgood: that's kate winslet along with leonardo. sailed to oscar nomination for her performance in that blockbuster. and oscar buzz again this year over her role in the movie

>> we have things to talk about. >> like what? >> as the fearless aide to steve jobs -- >> we're not go fog sell. >> joanna hoffman wasas a lot of things, high powered executive, marketing genius. >> what happens when they find out that for 24.95 there's nothing you ean do with it. >> i don't care -- winslet. >> you're going to fix it now. >> the moral center of the movie "steve jobs." >> supposed toto be the bestt part of you. when your father that's what's supposed to be the best part of you. >> however, one thing the real life joanna hoffmana no-nonsense polish-armenian immigrant would not be confused for is a glamorous movie star. >> why would they think of me? because joanna have man looks nothing like me. >> when kate winslet heard about

>> you wanted this badly. >> isn't that allowed? >> she toooo a selfie, this one, and sent it to the film's producer. >> i took one photo and i just sent it by e-mail to scott rudin. >> no message? >> no. >> after six academy award nominations. >> he loved me as i lovov him. >> an iconic star turn in "titanic." >> finally feel like standing in the middle of a crowded room screaming at the top of my lungs. >> and an oscar win for "the reader." >> wouldn't just let them escape, we couldn't. >> kate winslet could expect to

but getting joanna have man was one thing, playing her quite another. >> how hard that was accent? >> so, that accent, there are lots of accenen i really can't do. i do useless scottish. my eye verb all over the map. but polish-armenian? >> you know, give a girl a challengee. >> or you can contact me at my new job working anywhere i want. i calledd the real joanna, to hear her actually speak it is different the way that i ended up doing it in the film for the simple reason that her pitch is much higher than mine. so i remember speaking to her the first time, hello, joanna, hello, i'm so happyo see you. i thought, i got -- i can't do that for two hours.

her acting instincts for 25 years starting on tv in a british show w lled "dark season." >> it is weird. >> she was a chunky 15-year-old and even being on tv did not insulate her from the slings and arrows of school yardullies. as someone once said never listen to what people. >> i was teased for how i looked. >> that's what the bullying was? >> i was quite stocky. i was very much teased for that. >> now 40, one of her generation's brightest stars, the pain is still fuel. >> i i know thaha those nasty bullies are still out there. and there i am with a big gold statue in my hand. that's a pretty great fist pumping moment. that's a lovely message to say to those bullies, you know, where are they? >> not just fist pumping moment. a little bit of a middle finger moment. >> let's not get aggressive.

>> even when you're the face of ran comb cosmetics, there's not enough make up to cover the scars of teenaged teasing. she speaks loudly and clearly about body i ige, often insisting that her image not be retouched. >> i am in an industry where i have to do interviews much like this one. we walk down red carpets, it't' part of the job. but i think i feel very strongly that it's important to also say to young girls that we don't look like thatll the time. >> by the way you sat down with us, you can hold that up there. >> the coffee? >> i sat down with you because today i did my own hair and make up, because it's easier frankly sometimes. and i came into this room i said, okay, i am the hair and make up team so someone tell me if i'm shiny. >> blunt as she is about gender and beauty, winslet seemed to struggle a few months ago after

spotlight on the issue of pay equity for actors and actresses. winslet was asked about it by the bbc. >> i don't't like talking about money. it's vulgar, isn't it? i don't think that's very nice conversation to have publicly. >> that reaction caused a bit of a stir. so t ts notion o o i don't't want to discuss any gap in pay, gender gaps, it'sville war. >> yeah. let me explain. so, what i think is vulgaga is to be talking publicly about actual earning of money. that is -- saying it now i'm slightly being sickened in my mouth. i'm british, we don't do that. jennifer did it brilliantly. what i object to is unfortunately the line of questioning that it almost giv journalists permission to o on with, which i don't like. i fully had a journalist say, do you know if you got paid more or

don't ever want to be asked that question. would it make you feel better if i am ever in a situation where i feel that there is something unfair happening that i always stand up for myself. would that makee you f fl better? >> i'm just wondering -- question. >> i'm just wondering in theory is it wrong if there i i a gap. >> it's veryy difficult to answer that question because every situation is completely different. but if you have a man and a woman in a movie of equal experience, of equal role who are saying the same number of liness it wrong that the guy gets paid more than the girl? you bet your bottom dollar it's wrong. do you think ha female schoolteacher wantsso listen to hollywood -- bunch of hollywood actresses how they don't get paid enough? >> winslet's pay grade allows though live quite comfortable with her thirdusband and threeee

>> chickens are great. they give you eggs. >> hollywood a-lister perhaps. >> this one in here -- one finds one of great pleasures in a country hen house. >> you're in luck. look. this means that the little bantams are starting laying, thth is great. this iss exciting. well done everybody. >> winslet, happiness is unrunning to the store with no worries about dodging paparazzi. >> very fortunate we live in lovely community where we live. we're just part of the community. >> you can get a quart of milk anything. >> not any problem. i do the school run in my pajamas. absolutely. >> at this point it seems kate winslet doesn't want to live a second more of her life than she

appearances. unless, of course, she's changing themm herself to snag a role that just might put her in the running for her next oscar. >> osgood: ahoy.

the sardine fisheries depleted, jobs moved to cities and human residents left thehesland. now there are just 16 people here and more than 160 cats. it's an adjustment for visiting reporters. misato kamiok is not exactly the official historicallian but she's lived here for nearly 40 years. >> how did this become an island of glass there used to be a lot of mice and not many cats, she remembered. some cats were let loose. others were abandoned. and the rest, as s ey say, is history. >> i suspect you've got your mice population under control now? >> no price problem, she said. there's a sort o o predictable rhythm on cat island. a neighborly dispute or two.

the big moment of the day is when the tourist boat shows up. it's 45 minutes of bliss for all involved. we asked school lunch lady hitomi goto why the japanese love cats so much. >> cats do as they please, but we cab do that, she said, ferring to her regimented life. cats go where they want and snooze when they feel like it. so leaving my work to see them is very relaxing. this was n n cat -- >> we were shown pictures of other cat islands. >> you've been to three and you've been to two cat islands. there are about ten across the untry. in japan, cats are featured on tv shows and of course this is the land where "hello kitty" was born. we'd heaea about another must see stop for the cat-crazed in japan.

this was paradise. said he'd like to return. >ot enough to see it once? >> no, it's not enough, he replied. i would like to live here. >> smiled and tried to withholdudgment, this placece is not everyone's definition of paradise. as the afternoon ferry pulled out, people waved to the cats. though it seemed a rather one-sided goodbye. japan has a rabbit island, too. but we'll save that for another story. >> osgood: next. >> i think charlie brown has better tree than we do.

the ugly christmas tree. >> osgood: the christmas tree that famously won reprieve in the year before last lives on in

steve hartman hac the story. >> we have returned d reading, pennsylvania, to investigate reports that the world's ugliest christmas tree has been somehow immortalized. you may remember back in 2014 this story -- sorry excuse of the confer was all the rage. i do mean rage. >> i think charlie brown has a better tree than we do. >> everybody that took part in bringing this tree heree should get fired. >> the tree was so ugly the city decided to take it down before christmas. just so people wouldn't have to look at it any more. workers removed the lights and the p ptzel of bethlehem or whatever it was. made arrangements to bring in a new spruced up spruce. >> a christmas tree is matter of sellz former city councilmama told me this really was like story. although the lesson had obviously eluded him. story? >> well the importance of christmas of bng together.

today it sits in city hall, reminder the beauty is in the eye e the b bolder and ugly, nothing more than attitude.

eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. that really mattered to me. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormamableeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept i don't have ti set records. but i'm still going r my personal best. and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke plus less major bleeding.

>> osgood: michaha ian black withthhoughts about new year's resolutions. >> now that the new year is upon us some of you might be feeling bad about already breaking the resolutions you made to yourselves only a couple of days ago. not me. because this year, instead of getting down on myself for making promises to myself i can't keep, i'm taking a new tack. my resolution for 2016 are all things that i'm'm already doing and will continue to do.

resolve to continue having pizza for dinner every friday night. it's delicious, inexpensive and the kids never go, pizza again? instead they go, pizza again? plus, science has proven that pizza calories don't count becausanything that tastes that good cannot make you fat. also, i resolve to continue not jogging. jogging is bad for the knees and other body arts as well. in fact, according to the american a ademy of physical medicine and rehabilitation, nearly 70% of all runners can expect to become injured. 70%. those mr. ebola numbers. running is to the body what demolition derby is to the automobile. i am going to continue not doing that. in 2016, i resesve to spend a little too much on presents for my wife and not enough on retirement. every year my wife and i tell each other we're not going to get each other anything for christmas.

bunch of stuff that she doesn't need but makes her happy. same with her birthday. and when they shut off our heat after we've retired because we can't afford to keep it on, at least we'll have plenty of fancy eaters to wrap ourselves in. this year i resolve to continue complaining about the new york yankees. everybody likes to complain about the yankees, people who hate them and people like me who love them. complainingg about sports teams is one of the things that binds us together as americans. the yankees are the only team i follow and i find complaining about the failures of oer people keeps me from looking too closely at my own. psychologists call this avoidance, and it's a terrific way to feel better about yourself without having to do any, you know, work. so, yeaea improving yourself with resolutions is fine and everything. but knowing you are a flawed human being who eats a little too much pizza, doesn't exercise

e new year with a smile on your face, that's even better. >> osgood: coming up, mysteries of the deep.ple trip to the grocery store anything but simple. so finally, i had an importanconversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humimi works inside my y dy to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, includg lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, anan nervous system proroems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certaiaifungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b,

don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your dermatologist about humira. becaususwith humira clearer skin is possible.

liverpool. a member of the just missed it club, people who booked on the titanic but cancelled at the last minute. and it was news that in the morning papers that day germany, at war with great britain, published a warning, that vessels flying the british flag or the flag of any of her allies much subject to attack as they passed through the waters off the british isles. >> made no mention of the lusitania. ititas widely interpreted to be aimed at the ship. >> eric larson is the author of the "new york times" best seller "dead wake" about the lusitania. >> the prevailing news was that the lusitania was too big, too fast to ever be caught by a german submarine. and also there was this other idea no german commander would try to sink it in the first place because it was passenger liner.

the lusitania was struck by a germanorpedo. moments later there was a sececd explosion. she sank in just 18 minutes. 1198 of the nearly 2,000 people on the ship died. more than 120 of them americans. >> there she is. just come up over the wreckage. >> the wreck is still down there in 200 feet of water. boat captain carroll o'donaghue feels its presence. >> remember the tragedy of it all, really. perfectly clear day. just like today. >> you see nothing. just water. >> all i could see was heads

for 1 19 documentary national geographic interviewed survivors of the lusitania. >> like half a circle of people moaning in the water. there was just a moan, constant less. >> eoin mcgarry has divededn the wreck nearly 50 times. when you're out here do you have feelings for what's -- what happened and what's down there? >> when i look up at the surface i can see bodies raining down. you could see what it was like. hear the screams. >> the torpedo hit just behind the bridge on the starboard side. the ship tilted s so far, so fast only six life boats successfully made it into the water. naval vessels in the area were ordered not to go near the site for fear they would be

made their way from greens down now cold cobh, 31 miles away. some rescuers had t t row t t entire way. >> my grandfather raced down to the office, was immediately involved in the rescue operation, getting anybody who d a boat to g g out. >> courtney murphy's grandfather, jerome murphy, the cunard manager in queens town took charge. >> he had to organize, to commandeer the roomsmsn the hotels where the survivors could be put up. >> in this family photo, the small boy in the front row was courtney murphy's father, who wawahed as the rescue boats returned. >> the bodies as they came in in the boats would have been in whatever clothes they had on them. and then theyere covered in shrouds or sheets. >> your father remembered seeing -- >> seeing lines of bodies lain out here along the foot path.

>> there were 764 survivors. among the dead, alfred gwynne vanderbilt. today in cobh, there's a monument along the route t t funeral procession took to the town cemetery. where the lusitania dead were buried in mass graves. mourners as far as the eye couldld see paying their respects. the pictures then and now an eerie match up. was the sinking of the lusitania just bad luck or something more sinister? her captain, william thomas turner, believed she would have a british naval esct into port. none appeared. the brirish navy didn't tell captain turner that u-20, the submarine that sunk her was out there, something it knew, becaus germany's code books had

desewedded at a top secret facility called room 40. >> one plex nation is that room 40 was absolutely top secret and by god they were going to keep it that way. but another explanation, it would not hurt the british effort if the lusitania were sunk and americans were killed because it might draw america into the war. >> wininon churchill over saw room 40. head of the british navy then, he was on record hoping for an incident that would drag the united states into the warar >> there's no smoking memo, if you will. that says that churchill or the admirality deliberaty put the lusitania in harm's way. there is, however, a bodyy of evidence that if you look at it it is really damning. >> no oneas ever been abl to inspect the under sididof the wreck, where the answer to the

explosion may lie. >> these two items were recovered -- >> the irish government has only allowed diver mcgarry to bring up artifacts from the lusitania that were lying on the sea floor or in the bridge area. >> it's a sonar beam that is sent from the ship. imagine the whole sp lying on her side. sadly because she's lying on the torpedo wound we can't see exactly. this is where all the carnage happened. where the torpedo strike and second explosion. >> mcgarry for one doesn't believe the accepted conclusion that the second explosion was caused by the rupture of the ship's m mn steam line. she was carrying small arms munitions, but were there other explosives aboard.

she was carrying contraband. and something substantially caused that second explosion. and i do believe that there is somebody out there who ds know. >> or not. the lusitania remains fooder for conspiracy theorists. >> the maritime grass see noll. there are so many mir lack closure nearly sohings thatt happened, that leaves room for people to say, that can't be it. it sank in 18 minutes, not possible, right? >> 100 years later as time takes it is toll, the truth only becomes more elusive. nothing is stronger on tough pain than advil. relief doesn't get any better than this.
