good morning, america. this morning, breaking news, the disappearance of flight mh370. air traffic control loses contact with a malaysian airlines jetliner carrying 239 to beijing. the massive s.a.t. operation under way right now as the families of the victims react with horror and anger. >> how did this giant plane simply vanish. what drove her? new details about the pregnant woman accused of driving herself and her three young kids into the atlantic ocean. now charged with attempted murder and child abuse. the chilling stories her terrified kids have told investigators. freak accident, tv reporter miles o'brien opening up about losing much of his arm. >> not something i would wish on
4:01 am
anybody. >> what is getting him through this excruciating experience. prince harry takes his girlfriend of two years where they've never gone before. why royal watchers mean it could mean a wedding in their future. hey, good morning. we are covering a mystery and a massive search this morning. overnight this anguished scene as family members learned that malaysian airlines flight 370 simply vanished with 239 people on board while flying from kuala lumpur in malaysia to beijing. >> such devastating news and they're swarming a news conference held by airline officials. here's what we know. the flight went off the radar in the south china sea near vietnam and right now there's an air and
4:02 am
sea search and rescue mission for that boeing 777 which never sent out a distress signal which indicates whatever happened happened quickly. >> yes, this is going to be a complicated search and rescue mission. there were three americans on board including an infant and we're going to begin our coverage with abc's bob woodruff at the airport in beijing. bob, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. this is terminal three of the beijing airport where that was supposed to land early in morning. sadly, of course, it did not. that information from the airlines has been creeping out slowly and that has been very, very frustrating to the families. in kuala lumpur, malaysian airlines ceo spoke solemnly to the press. >> confirmed that the flight 370 lost contact with air traffic control at 2:40 a.m. this morning. >> reporter: the plane was due to into from kuala lumpur to
4:03 am
beijing, china. it went off the radar somewhere off the southern tip of vietnam. 227 passengers from 14 different countries and 12 crew members were on board the boeing 777. among them three americans. one of them a child. here at this beijing hotel room today family members gathered in tears. "i don't want to live. what is the point of me being alive" of this mother whose 40-year-old son was on board the plane. in frustration with the airlines this woman said they were only given water and bread in the room. by the time the company's officials came out to talk, hundreds of reporters had poured in crushing into each other just to get close. at one point i could barely move. the search is now happening off the coast of vietnam covering more than 4,000 square miles. >> we have requested assistance first on information or wisecony
4:04 am
if there is a need for search and rescue, which we cannot scope. >> reporter: the night has fallen here in asia and for the search and rescue teams that, of course, is making it harder and harder for them to operate off the coast of vietnam. bianna. >> so much still unknown. bob, our thanks to you. we are learning who was behind the controls of flight 370. an aviation veteran, he joined the company 33 years ago and has over 18,000 flying hours and now the spotlight on that boeing 777 and david kerley has a look at that boeing 777 safety record. >> reporter: one of the biggest mysteries this morning is how could one of the safest jetliners in the world disappear without any word from the pilots. the safety record of the boeing 777 is one of the best in aviation. the missing aircraft is a 200 model, 11 years old. the veteran 53-year-old pilot has been with malaysia airs for
4:05 am
33 years. in a statement said "we are closely monitoring reports on malaysia flight 370. this is a wide bodied jetliner that can fly for hours on one of its two engines. it was reportedly at altitude combof 30,000 feet when it just disappeared. so where is the jet possible wreckage? did it suffer catastrophic failure or did the pilots miss important clues about its performance. if it went down in the ocean answers will be more difficult to answer. finding the black boxes with all that vital information becomes much more difficult. the last big jetliner to disappear like this was an air france flight which went down in 2009. it was years before the black boxes were found and the mystery of that flight was solved. a combination then of equipment failure and the pilots failing to see the problem. >> to have the airplane come out of the sky intact like the air flans frightly couple of years
4:06 am
ago and over the mid-atlantic indicates a loss of flight control capability of one sort or another and deep stall on the airplane. >> reporter: this morning, there are some conflicting time lines that we're hearing coming out of malaysia on the last communication with the jetliner. when it disappeared from radar. questions that do have to be answered. it is likely u.s. investigators at some point from the ntsb will join their asian counterparts to trying to reveal the mystery of malaysia flight 370. >> colonel stephen ganyard is here with us. walk us how this could happen. there is a range of potential causes. what is in that range? >> there is, dan. any mishap usually has some key elements that are common to all mishaps. they'll be looking at things like weather, did weather play a factor as it did in the air france mishap off brazil that david was just talking about. was their pilot error?
4:07 am
was there some kind of a catastrophic failure or was there some kind of combination of all of those? in this case, also because it's so unusual for an airplane to just disappear like this, it's almost inexplicable so they'll probably broaden their range of investigation to look at terrorism. >> you know, you use the word rare. most crashes happen on takeoff or landing. so for a plane to disappear in midair give us a sense how rare is that? >> this is so rare it is absolutely baffling and it's baffling that we don't have any better answers this long after the mishap actually occurred so lots of questions to be answered of the there's very, very little direct evidence. very few facts to go on. everything we're doing now is speculation. >> so we can't get the answers really until we find the wreckage assuming there is wreckage and assuming the plane crashed. when you don't have a mayday signal, how hard is it to find a plane in the open water?
4:08 am
>> it's going to be very difficult and one reason, the same reason the air france off brazil crash was difficult, it sounds like this aircraft was out of radar coverage. radars only go out 200 miles and in this part of the world their coverage is spotty so they probably were not reporting at different positions along their planned flight route and weren't even in radar contact so all we know is the altitude and the air speed and the heading that they should have been on at the last point tharpe talking to air traffic controllers. other than that, we have no idea where they are. that said, it's fairly shallow water. it's not deep atlantic water. it's fairly shallow south china seawater and so i think we do have a good chance of hearing those pingers that the black boxes have that will allow us to go out and find the wreckage somewhere between vietnam and malaysia. >> colonel stephen ganyard we really appreciate your expertise on this breaking story.
4:09 am
bianna. >> alarming to hear him use the word terrorism. of course, our thoughts and prayers are with the family members. we're still waiting to hear news. we'll switch gears and to the turn to the pregnant woman who tried to kill herself and three kids about i driving her minivan into the atlantic ocean. she's now facing attempted murder charges and abc's gio benitez is outside the courthouse where the suspect will go before a judge later today. good morning, gio. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. the mother says she was just driving too close to the water and the waves pulled her in but as you're about to see her children are telling a very different horrific tale. this morning, new details coming from the terrified children in that minivan. police now say their own mother intended to kill them, plunging the van into the ocean raising the window, locking the doors. eyewitnesses capturing the screams from her 10-year-old son
4:10 am
after he fought with his mom and lowered the windows himself. >> he's saying help. >> reporter: 32-year-old ebony wilkerson who is also pregnant is now behind bars charged with three counts of attempted murder and child abuse. >> you're supposed to protect your children out all costs. you're not supposed to be trying to kill your children. >> reporter: her children, 10, 9 and 3 telling police, "mom tried to kill us" and mom was going to drive us in the ocean to die. her only words, they said, were that they should close their eyes and go to sleep and that she was taking them to a safer place. good samaritans watching the drama unfold rushed to the rescue pulling the kids and mom out before the van was enveloped by water. >> i'll never get the picture out of my head with that boy with outstretched arms saying please help me, our mom is trying to kill her. >> reporter: when police spoke with her, they say she seemed confused jumping from one religious topic to other
4:11 am
another. her kids called her crazy and a lunatic. >> it could be a combination of depression, some other mental health issue and so all of that just may have been too much for her. she will rationalize they're better off dead than alive. >> reporter: will kerr son has not yet entered any plea. and back here at the county jail, that mother is being held without bond. she's going to face a judge for the first time later today. dan and bianna. >> just such a disturbing story on so many levels. of course, those children are lucky to be alive. gio, our thanks to you. >> other top stories now from ron claiborne. ron, good morning. >> hey there, dan and bianna, sara. disturbingly quiet here last sunday without you. >> i was missed. >> you were missed. >> good morning, everyone. we with the escalating tensions in ukraine. three dozen pro-russian soldiers stormed into a ukrainian military base in crimea. that was late friday crashing a military vehicle through the front gate. the soldiers urged ukrainian
4:12 am
troops to swear allegiance to russia and surrender their weapons before finally taking off hours later without a shot being fired. this comes days before crimeans vote to stay with the ukraine or break away and join the russian federation and meanwhile, russian president vladimir putin seen here at the opening of the paralympics in sochi ignoring threats of sanctions from the west. a man hospitalized after eating meat tainted with a hallucinogenic drug lsd. the family, the entire family, the man, his pregnant girlfriend and his two young daughters age 6 and 7 felt the effects after eating bottom round steak purchased from a local walmart. the supermarket giant says all meat comes prepackaged from the distributor. they're back home and it appears to be an isolated incident frlts a trip to seaworld in california may never be quite the same.
4:13 am

4:14 am
outdated and instructors say the viper was a great recruiting tool to get students into their automotive program and for so many reason they don't believe donated chrysler minivans will have quite the same appeal to potential students. i can't imagine -- >> automated opening doors. that is a sexy -- >> that is technology. i feel really old. i remember the viners. >> you are really old. i'm even older. >> you're even older. you're even older than i am. >> by two years. >> two years. >> getting real on the "gma" set. thank you, ron. >> we'll turn back overseas where it's been a wild week of explosive testimony in the high-profile murder trial of olympic star oscar pistorius. the court hearing tales of reckless gun play, police confrontations and inat the dealts. abc's hamish macdonald has the story from pretoria. hamish. >> reporter: bianna, yes, it absolutely could. there is still so much more testimony to come. we haven't heard any of the
4:15 am
forensics yet. any of the phone record, not to mention the fact that at some point oscar pistorius himself will be taking the stand. >> do you understand the charge that has been read? >> south africa is calling it the trial of the century. it's been a week dominated by hours of testimony aimed at portraying oscar pistorius as violent and reckless with guns. he's accused of murdering his model girlfriend reeva steenkamp. >> it was like right on top of each other, bang, bang, bang. he said, i shot her. i thought she was a burglar and i shot her. >> reporter: they sobbed giving detailed accounts of the night he killed her. leaving pistorius himself in tears. >> gunshots, it was blood curdling. you know that woman's life was threatened. >> reporter: emotions ran high with his ex-girlfriend samantha taylor describing him as unfaithful. >> he cheated on me with reeva

steenkamp. >> reporter: she recalled an incident when pistorius fired his gun out of a sunroof after being pulled over for speeding. >> he shouted at the policeman because he said that he was not allowed to touch his gun. >> reporter: his friend and professional boxer kevin lerena told police how he asked him to cover for him. >> there was complete silence. i was no shock. >> reporter: the world famous olympic athlete denies all the charges. >> not guilty, my lady. >> reporter: the attorneys who argue he was shooting an intruder spent much of the week questioning whether neighbors really heard a woman screaming. they say pistorius would have sounded like a woman when he screamed that night. this whole trial seems to rest on the sequence of events in the early hours of valentine's day last year. neighbors say they heard a woman screaming followed by gunshots but could it have been gunshots
4:17 am
followed by the screams of a man who realized he just made a tragic mistake. dan? >> hamish, thank you. we will continue to cover the trial right here on abc. now though to the veteran tv reporter who became news himself. it's miles o'brien opening up now about the injury that cost him part of his arm and the silver lining that he's now finding. abc's linzie janis is here with more. >> reporter: good morning. this is incredible. it happened just three weeks ago but miles o'brien already back on pbs sharing his story about what was a bruise became an emergency that could have killed him. award winning journalist miles o'brien is speaking out for the first time since a freak accident cost him his left arm. >> it's not something i would wish on anybody. >> reporter: he had just finished filming a story on japan's infamous fukushima nuclear plant and was on his next assignment in the philippines tweeting a photo of
4:18 am
himself getting a haircut in manila. a case carrying heavy camera equipment fell on his arm. it hurt but he didn't even consider medal attention until days later telling pbs "news hour" host about the moment he realized he was in trouble. >> it began as a bruise and it just got a lot worse after about a day or so and the pain got worse. >> reporter: he says doctors knew immediately what they were dealing with. acute compartment syndrome. >> i had literally had to wiki it with my phone. muscles and veins don't expand. if there's inflammation that causes swelling inside the pressure builds and there's no place for the blood to go. >> reporter: when an emergency operation went bad doctors say the only option was partial amputation. >> they told me going in this fingers don't go well you'll lose your armth he screed the
