a "bachelor" first. >> i have a ring here in my pocket. and i'm not going to use it. hmm-mm. >> oh, my. two women. one rose, no proposal. juan pablo booed during the finale of his own show after blindsiding a heartbroken finalist. while the woman he chose is still waiting for him to say, "i love you." and good morning, america. we want to get right to these details just coming in on the disappearance of malaysian airlines flight 370. what could be the first big break in the story. these two photos right there, iranian men traveling on those stolen passports. one from austria. one from italy. they were traveling together and we now know that one of the men, the 19-year-old on the right

rigts there was trying to seek asylum in germany. authorities have been speaking with his mom. she was expecting him in frankfurt. he didn't show up. she called the police. >> authorities saying he is not likely a member of any terrorist group. the scramble for clues on what might have happened at a fever pitch. the search expanded to both coasts of malaysia as that plane could have flown for a very long distance on autopilot, if, if the crew was incapacitated. >> our team tracking the story all through the night and pierre thomas starts us off with the latest on the investigation. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. finally after days of frustration, a chance to unravel the mystery of those stolen passports. two of the impostors have been identified as iranians. for the first time we see the two men who used stolen passports to board malaysia airlines flight 370. here's one imposter caught on surveillance tape at the airport apparently posing as and austrian. they identified him at a late night press conference. his name, pouria nour mohammed mehrdad. 19 and iranian.

his mother told police she knew he was traveling on a stolen passport and we was trying to migrate to germany. >> we believe he is not likely to be a member of any terrorist group. >> reporter: the other impos or the was identified as interpol as a 29-year-old iranian. >> syed mohammad reza. >> reporter: while other investigators focus on catastrophic mechanical failure or some sort of accident, malaysian police are looking at the following possibilities, including hijacking, sabotage, or psychological problems with the passengers or crew. the surveillance video may help police understand the intentions of the two impostors. >> are they operating together? do they talk? are they acting strange while they're in line or moving along? >> reporter: the malaysian government has given the surveillance footage to the fbi and also fingerprints and photographs of the impostors recovered at the airport. authorities in thailand are questioning the owners of these travel agencies which sold the

one-way tickets used by the impostors. abc news has learned they were purchased at the same time by an iranian man known as mr. ali. some investigators believe that suggests the men coordinated their activities. so the stolen passports may be about illegal immigration, not terrorism. the sources emphasize it's way too early to draw any final conclusions. george? >> pierre, we want to know more about these two. they traveled from doha, qatar to kuala lumpur on february 28th together. but what we don't know is what they were doing between the time they landed in kuala lumpur on february 28th and when day boarded that malaysian flight 370 on march 8th. >> that is still what is uncertain. also, the clue, the hunt for clues is still ongoing. the search widening this morning and abc's bob woodruff is live in beijing with the latest on that. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, robin. yeah, you know, this is now the fourth day of this search. up to now they've been searching

in the seas, malaysia to the north and to the east. now they've expanded that search and they're looking in the sea to the west of malaysia. and the vietnamese told us today they'll probably start searching on the ground in the mountains and jungles of vietnam. this morning, the frantic search for the missing boeing 777 is expanding. reports that the search now includes the thick jungles of vietnam, focusing on densely populated areas, forests and mountains. the search will be based on the projected flight path right up the ho chi minh, malaysian authorities also say military radar suggests the flight may have tried to turn back and are now expanding the search to include the area just west of malaysia, as well. but why would the plane turn around? the aircraft underwent maintenance 12 days before its takeoff that saturday morning. the weather conditions were ideal. and the plane was flying at 35,000 feet, the safest part of the flight. >> most of the problems occur with airplanes either on takeoff or landing. but when they're up at altitude,

away from everything, up well above the weather, the autopilot is on, the airplane -- the computer is flying the airplane. that's a really, really safe place to be. >> reporter: if the crew and passengers were incapacitated and the plane was flying on autopilot, it could have ended up anywhere. so the search continues in the south china sea. 34 helicopters. 40 ships. even submarines, desperately looking for clues. the plane was tracked by radar as it soared out into the ocean, but that commercial radar only reaches about 250 miles into the sea. the plane does have black boxes, which can beep a series of pings although the waters are shallow, 165 feet deep, submarines and special ships need to be within five to ten miles to hear it. and now a colorado satellite imaging company is launching a website asking the public to search, as well, watching high resolution images pixel by pixel. there where three americans on flight 370, and another american

businessman, greg candelaria was scheduled to be on board. >> the only reason for this trip being skipped this one time, very unusual for me, is simply because i've had back-to-back long haul trips. it turned out to be the best decision in my life. >> reporter: now, the family members are really getting frustrated in beijing. some of them we saw this morning getting on a bus and heading over to the airport to head down to malaysia. they want some kind of change. there have been so many plane crashes in this world but never has a plane been lost for so long without any clues. robin? >> okay, bob, thank you. we'll get more on this mystery now from abc news aviation consultant colonel stephen ganyard. he joins us this morning in washington. picking up on what bob was saying, the search area has been expanded because it could have been on autopilot and gone for thousands of miles. >> robin, that's possible. that's possible. at this point, i don't buy it. and the reason is you would have to have the crew incapacitated and you would have to have all the electrical systems on the

aircraft fail. if it was going to continue to fly, the radar beacon sending out information to air traffic control facilities would still be giving position indications. and so somewhere, that airplane would have shown up or stayed on radar if they'd continued to fly. so it's a theory that -- it's possible. we don't know at this point. but i just don't buy it. >> right, and right now they're just theories, as you said. all is just theories but what the police are looking into, the background, specifically the psychological background of the pilot and co-pilot. >> yeah, well, we have to look at that. you know, we have the egypt air crash where the pilot deliberately flew it into the atlantic ocean. and we had the silkair crash a couple years back where the pilot flew it deliberately into a swamp. so is it likely? no. but it's something we have to look at. right now we have to find that airplane. we have to find the wreckage. or we're just going to continue to guess into perpetuity. >> that's what we're doing here, stephen. just so many days have gone by now and just the frustration of

the families and everyone involved in knowing that there's so many planes that are out there. there are so many ships out there, but yet, nothing is being found. >> exactly. i'll tell you, i'm personally losing faith in the malaysian government's ability to conduct this investigation. they have not told anybody why they've shifted their search area 500 miles off to the west. why not off to the east? what aren't they telling us? what did they see? and in all of the countries such as the u.s. and china and vietnam are all complaining that the malaysian government has not been forthcoming. i just don't see the coordination that's required and i'm losing faith in their ability to find this airplane. >> someone to take the lead here. stephen, thank you very much, as always, for your insight. appreciate it. let's get today's other top stories welcoming back josh elliott. >> thank you, robin. we're going to begin here, a very frightening scene last night at a hockey game in dallas. a star player with a history of heart trouble collapsed in front of the home crowd. fans and teammates, in fact, desperately tried to get the

ref's attention as 31-year-old rich peverley lay unconscious. on his bench. and announcers quickly realized something was very wrong. >> there seems to be an extreme situation at the dallas bench. >> stop the game. it is pandemonium and panic over there. >> doctors would only say peverley suffered a cardiac event. he has a history of an irregular heartbeat. but this morning, he's in good condition at a dallas area hospital. last night's game was postponed and we'll have updates as news becomes available. and delta airlines is explaining what went wrong on a flight leaving minneapolis on monday. this was what passengers, in fact, saw from their window, the engine exposed in midair just after takeoff. forced the pilot to make an emergency landing. delta says the engine's outer casing actually broke off. they're not saying how at this point. but passengers, they say, were not in danger. meanwhile, overseas russian forces wearing masks have seized

control now of four more military bases in ukraine's crimean peninsula. the acting president of ukraine is urging volunteers to join a militia to stand up to the russians as crisis talks between the u.s. and russia are at a stalemate. and a somber moment this morning as japan marked the third anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami disaster that took more than 16,000 lives. tens of thousands of coastal residents still live in temporary housing. meantime, japan has spent some $12 billion thus far on efforts to restart its nuclear plants after the fukushima disaster. and finally, things got rather out of hand at a ski resort in washington. take a look. workers were using explosives for avalanche control when as you can see, they started one of their own. the avalanche coming right down the mountain. and then last night, another

avalanche barreled right through the chair lift, leaving it in shambles. thankfully, nobody was hurt. nobody was on the chair lift at the time. that lift will have to be completely rebuilt again. you see the dangers of avalanche season there even when they start them themselves. >> controlled. >> controlled. >> controlled, all right. >> or not so much. >> thanks, josh. >> you bet. now to a dramatic rescue all caught on camera. a rock climber injured on the side of a mountain, pulled to safety by crews rappelling down from a helicopter. abc's steve osunsami has that story for us. >> it's amazing what i'm seeing right here. >> reporter: what you're watching is a dangerous rescue. an injured mountain climber outside charlotte, north carolina, stuck on a cliff. and the drama unfolding on live television. >> he is dropping down to the area where the injured hiker is. >> reporter: the 23-year-old was rappelling off this mountain with a friend when he fell nearly 40 feet. bouncing off one ledge before landing on another. his friend and another climber nearby called 911. >> i'm calling 911 right now, man. >> burke county, 911.

>> i'm on the side of the mountain and i just watched a climber take about a 40-foot fall, had a pretty bad impact. >> reporter: authorities had to bring in a blackhawk helicopter. it was firefighter david bowman on the end of the rope they lowered from the chopper finally reaching the injured climber who was still conscious. >> i had a short conversation with the patient, you know, letting him know that we're here, that we're going to take good care of him. >> reporter: captain chris hendricks along with another member of the rescue team were also on the ledge. >> the ledge was small. there was barely enough room for all three of us. >> reporter: as they pulled the young man up, the basket started spinning. >> what they want to do is get it away from the cliff so it does not hit that rock face. >> this is what we train for. we developed a plan in the back of the helicopter. and then we executed that plan. >> reporter: they took the victim to an area hospital. his injuries critical including broken bones, all from that breathtaking fall. for "good morning america," steve osunsami, abc news,

atlanta. what a harrowing accident and we'll turn now to new allegations of bullying by a college basketball coach. boston university investigating women's basketball coach kelly greenberg after four players quit in the team claiming emotional abuse. abc's mara schiavocampo is here with the details. good morning, mara. >> reporter: good morning, george. it's a major blow to the women's basketball program. almost a third of the team quitting this year because of the coach's alleged behavior. some even giving up scholarships. well, now one of those players is speaking out, providing new details. she's the coach on the defense. >> she's feeling tough. >> reporter: this morning, boston university's kelly greenberg is facing accusations she bullied some of her players. over the last year, 4 of the 13 members of the women's basketball team have quit. two of them giving up a $60,000 a year scholarship, including one who has left the university altogether. senior guard melissa gallo

walked off the court two weeks ago, after going through what she calls four years of emotional abuse. >> it was bullying, harassment, everything related to that. i was being criticized as a human. i was being told that i was the most selfish person on the team. >> reporter: gallo says greenberg's bullying was so bad, she cried all the time, started going to therapy, and completely lost her love of basketball. >> this affected every aspect of my life. going through this, this is the toughest thing i have ever had to go through. >> reporter: this isn't the first time players have cried foul. the university conducted an internal review after two scholarship players quit the team in 2008 after making similar accusations. >> athletes have more options at their disposal if they want to tell people about trouble on their campus, if there's a coach who is misbehaving. if there is a coach who is going too far, the likelihood is we will now find out about it. >> reporter: but some say the allegations are unfair. saturday about 30 demonstrators gathered on campus to support

greenberg including current and former players. a much smaller team huddling around their coach. and in a statement boston university says it is aware of the accusations and is taking a serious look at them. greenberg, who is in the last year of her contract extension, has declined to comment. george? robin? >> thanks very much. now you have what must be the weirdest story of the morning. >> thank you. yeah, yeah. it really is. >> it's just tuesday. >> listen up. don't worry. your hearing is fine. this is the story of a family held hostage by their own house pet. we're not talking about a big dog either. we're talking about that guy, a 22-pound cat named lux. and it all played out in a dramatic 911 call. he may look cute and cuddly, but don't make this cat angry. >> i have a kind of a particular emergency here. >> reporter: lux, a 22-pound black and white himalayan held his oregon family hostage in their bedroom, forcing them to

call 911 for help. >> my cat attacked us -- a 7-month-old child and i kicked the butt -- the cat in the rear. and it has went off over the edge and we aren't safe around the cat. it's a very large himalayan and we're trapped in our bedroom. he won't let us out of our door. >> reporter: lee palmer and his girlfriend, teresa berger, said the cat turned ferocious after their son jesse pulled its tail. palmer kicked the cat which sent lux into a rage. he then chased the family including their dog into the bedroom. >> every time we opened the door the cat would hiss. >> he's really bad right now. he's charging us. he's at our door, bedroom door. >> one moment, okay. [ cat screeching ] >> do you hear him screaming? that was the cat. >> i hear him. keep your door shut. >> reporter: lux was eventually caught by police and placed behind bars. the bars of a crate, that is. >> the cat did not want to get back in the cage. that was for sure. >> reporter: in a facebook post

early this morning, palmer writes, "the cat is very loved. that is why he is still here. we had the option to let the animal control take him but decided to give him a chance. i'm a very caring, hard-working father that cares about my son, cat, dog, and girlfriend. i did kick him away from my son. you would, too." i learned as a very young, like, 4-year-old, don't pull a cat's tail. >> it was a little baby that pulled it. and the cat reacted. >> yeah. >> big cat. >> a very big cat but the mother said because a lot of people are at home snickering, she said it's funny until you are put in that situation. >> he sounded scared in the call. >> okay, so, can it be a little funny? i'm glad everybody is okay. and everybody is okay. except for lux. >> yeah. as is ginger. >> i am. i'm going to tell you, in that situation, lotus would hide, too. he's such a baby. we all are. it was a little scary. i don't have anything scary for you today. great news.

court for the paralympic champ. abc's matt gutman has been there for all of it in pretoria, south africa. >> reporter: a day after we watched pistorius losing control in the courtroom, his close friend, darren fresco, described him losing his temper on the road after being pulled over by police. >> without prior warning, he shot out the sunroof. >> reporter: guns, the theme of the morning, and pistorius' alleged recklessness with them. pistorius had once mistakenly fired a round under the table at a restaurant. >> instantly he passed the weapon back to me under the table. and he said, please, there's too much media hype around me at the moment. >> reporter: and fresco took the rap. we spoke to fresco last year still rattled by the shooting of pistoriuss' girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. >> she was just always happy and smiling and always just had the most -- amazing outlook on -- on life. >> reporter: earlier testimony from a pathologist indicated

pistorius' girlfriend had eaten just two hours before the shooting at 1:00 a.m. when some neighbors testified they heard shouting. contradicting pistorius' claim that the couple had harmoniously gone to bed early at 10:00 p.m. far from it, says the prosecution. they argue the couple fought late into the night with steenkamp fleeing into the bathroom and locking the door. pistorius, who was on his stumps that night, admits to firing four shots into the bathroom. the testimony from that pathologist was deemed so graphic from steenkamp's injuries that out audio and video was banned from the court. with the cameras still rolling monday we watched pistorius break down. then reaching for this bucket by his feet, vomiting and retching repeatedly. he spent much of the rest of the proceedings with this rag on his head. this is a country obsessed with this trial. everybody is talking about pistorius weeping and breaking down and, of course, getting sick in court yesterday. but today a much more composed

pistorius, we saw, almost no emotion from him at all. george? >> okay, matt, thanks very much. let's talk to chief legal affairs anchor dan abrams right now. and dan, yesterday, you were talking about this pathologist. you thought his testimony didn't seem all that important but today critical. >> that's right because previously we expected this issue of did he have his prosthetic legs on would become crucial and the angle of the bullets and all that would become a key issue to show premeditation. we thought the prosecution would say he put on his prosthetics that would have taken time. that's premeditation. they've now abandoned that theory. so we thought the pathologist would become a little less important. but there's that other issue, and that is what time did she last eat? why is that so crucial in a case like this? because if he is saying they went to sleep at 10:00 p.m., and you have these other witnesses, these earwitnesses hearing an argument, her eating later in conjunction with these ear and eyewitnesses saying that they heard an argument could be devastating for pistorius' defense.

>> at the same time the prosecutioning laying out all this evidence at pistoriuss' temp and trouble with guns. >> ordinarily in a case like this you wouldn't be able to just say, hey, oscar pistorius is a dangerous guy. look at these other cases where he's shot off weapons. but there are other specific charges here in connection with those shootings and there's a firearms charge so it allows the prosecution to weave together this case that doesn't just say he committed this murder, it says this is a guy who has been at risk for years of doing something like this. and now he finally did. even though they can't quite say it like that, they've got to sort of couch it within the framework of these other charges, but it allows them to present a case like that. >> meaning it's not a stretch. okay, thanks very much. >> okay, george. now to that just-released video of justin bieber, giving a deposition in a lawsuit brought by a photographer against him

this is me ten years ago. and the reason this is the most embarrassing day of my life is not that it looks like i've been attacked by a blow dryer and a can of hair spray. no, it's that i'm about to freak out on national television. health news now. one of the world's most commonly prescribed medications may provide a big bonus. researchers report people who take cholesterol lowering drugs called statins for at least five years may also lower their risk for cancer. but it's too early to prescribe statins slowly for cancer production. at this point, i realize i'm helpless, so i bail right in the middle. that does it for news. we're going to go back now to robin and charlie. >> the control room clearly taken by surprise continues to roll video for the next story about harry potter, which i was no longer able to read. >> all right. thanks very much. dan harris at the news desk with some of the headlines of the morning. want to go to tony perkins now. >> reporter: once the fear subsided, the humiliation rushed in. i knew with rock-solid certainty

that i had just had a panic attack on national television. i didn't know it at the time, but what happened next would change my life forever. >> and, dan, this is such a gripping book. i read it basically in one sitting. it's so well-done. but that moment right there for you, a low point. you're actually remarkably controlled given what was happening inside your head. you had realized that you'd become something of an adrenaline junkie. >> yes, yes, i think it all stems from something a lot of americans can relate to. it all stems from, really, a desire to be great at my job. when i got to abc in my late 20s, you were here at that time. i was green and i knew it and i was insecure about it and my solution was to become a workaholic. and after 9/11, i volunteered to go overseas and cover wars for many, many years. and when i finally came home and slowed down, you can see me from my early days where i looked barely postpubescent. and when i came home and slowed down, i crashed and burned and got depressed and i did a very stupid thing and briefly self-medicated with recreational drugs. and that is what most likely caused the panic attack.

>> as you're dealing with this you get set on a different journey. you're also covering faith for abc at the time. and as you're looking at these various issues raised on this beat you also come upon something that's helped a lot of people. spiritual meditation and you came to it as a huge skeptic. >> huge skeptic. i always thought it was for hippie, rogue gurus, people who keep yurts in their backyards and collect crystals and listen to john tesh music -- no offense, john tesh. but that's not me. but i found it's a simple brain exercise and an enormous amount of science that shows it can boost your immune system and blood pressure and literally rewire parts of your brain, specifically it can shrink the gray matter in the part of your brain that regulates stress. it is extraordinary. >> and thus 10% happier. >> that's right. >> so we were seeing pictures from people all morning telling us what distracts them. you practice meditation as a way

to redirect that distraction. >> exactly. exactly. the mind, our mind, everybody's mind, the human condition is out of control. if you sit and look at your mind, you're thinking constantly about, what did i have for lunch? why did the academy awards give best picture to "dances with wolves" instead of "goodfellas." when do i need a hair cut? why did i say this stupid thing yesterday? your constantly racing mind. you walk around in a fog of memories and projections into the future instead of what's happening right now. what meditation does is allow you to come back to what's happening right now, focus and most importantly, to see what's going on in your head at any given moment and not get carried away by it. that's a superpower. >> and you've written a brilliant book about it. dan harris, thanks very much. it's called "10% happier." we'll be right back.

now, from abc 7 news -- >> good morning. i'm eric thomas. cvs pharmacy may have lost track of 37,000 prescription pills. they may have ended up on the black market. according to "the l.a. times," officials at the drug enforcement administration say it includes vicodin and norco and were taken from cvs stores in modesto, fairfield, dixon, and turlock. the u.s. attorney's saves says c cvs has yet to respond to a request seeking more information. information on your commute. here is leyla. >> thanks so much. in fact, it looks like along the peninsula your drive to san carlo will be slower than usual due to this accident blocking one lane southbound at 101 at ralston avenue. that's coming afwra 92. why don't we take a live look. the san mateo bridge is slowing

down as you come out of heywood into foster city. we had a camper shell that was blocking two lanes. trying to get that cleared. >> thank you very much. when we come back, meteorologist mike nicco and the bay area forecast.

good morning. abc 7 news meteorologist mike nicco. still breezy out here. check out live doppler 7. winds 20 miles an hour and they will be with us through the better part of the day. notice as we look at the

exploretorium. ♪ sparks flyin' in the dark ♪ shooting out lights, running down dreams, figuring out what love really means ♪ ♪ baby giving you my heart is a real fine place to start ♪ [ applause ] >> yeah. that was country star sara evans singing "a real fine place to start." part of a brand-new album just released and we are going to hear a little bit more this morning. great to have you. >> the new one is called "slow me down," but there is no slowing down sara evans. love those boots, hon, and the belt. love that whole look. sharing new music for the first time in three years. looking forward to it. also, the duggar family from "19 kids and counting" is here. let's go to the social square right now. a few of them are playing

foosball right there. four of the duggar daughters. >> whoa. >> whiping it. >> so glad social square opened yesterday. >> i know. >> those are the oldest girls in the family. they've written a book about what it was like growing up duggar and they're beginning to -- a lot has happened and we'll talk to them. >> we turn to that young workout queen finding instant fame on the web. she's getting all kinds of followers by sharing her eker size secrets showing off the results on instagram and video right there. bianna golodryga caught up with her to get some tips on staying in shape. >> i never had a trainer in my life. i just would follow the trainers and when they were training someone, i would just -- yeah. go what does that do? >> reporter: she is the self-made social media sensation of the fitness world. perhaps you've seen her around

new york city seltering as she calls it. but more than likely, you have probably seen her online. with over 2 million followers on instagram, more than 500,000 likes on facebook and over 250,000 followers on twitter, 20-year-old jennifer selter is a veritable internet phenomenon and it all started innocently enough. >> if i was wearing a cute outfit, i'd be like why not take a selfie. >> reporter: but it was one specific picture that started all of the madness. >> i took one of like a side of my butt in yoga pants and that picture went viral. >> reporter: oh, you probably noticed she's blessed with a backside that would make kim kardashian blush. but 2 million followers on instagram? >> maybe it's the whole like girl next door look. >> i didn't have any girls living next door to me that looked like you. jennifer agreed to demonstrate the exercises that make her workout unique.

how many of these do you do? >> just do like a minute, break, minute, break, side, side, squat. squeeze your gluts. >> how many of these do you do? >> i do three sets of 12. >> reporter: enough of the workout. what does one eat to maintain a body like that? [ bell rings ] so what's your guilty pleasure? >> chocolate. dark chocolate. >> do you eat carbs? >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: pizza? >> no. >> reporter: cereal. >> no. >> reporter: ice cream? >> sometimes. >> reporter: so everything in moderation, right? >> yeah. >> reporter: for "good morning america," bianna golodryga, abc news, new york. >> i think they both look great. here's jen's instagram page filled with photos for her 2.6 million followers. look at that coming into social square right now. and now let's go out to ginger with a final check of the weather. >> look. we've got a little bar here. maybe we can train ourselves. do some workouts. let's get right to the forecast. we have some twitter photos we want to share with you from spokane, washington, and this morning, nice sunset we wanted

to bring to you. and then there we're just starting to see the grass. and you know you're about to get more snow. so the melting only for so long. watch the windchills. these are windchill numbers as we tick through the day, look at the northern plains, parts of minnesota dropping into the subzero and 27 below is what it'll feel like tomorrow 8:00 a.m. oh, behind that storm, that will bring in some places like chicago 4 to, yes, even 8 inches of snow. most of northern new england going to pick up that foot plus. that fuchsia color, good for the skiers. that's what we'll say. all right. th good morning. i'm mike nicco. a little breezy now but it will be sunny, warmer, and cammer by the afternoon. mid-60s. low to mid-70s for the rest of us. this is just the beginning. the warmest weather in the >> and all that weather brought to you by certified service. >> come on in here, ging. rob thomas, no longer mistaken for the matchbox 20 singer anymore. of course, the creator of the

"veronica mars" television show. broke records on kickstarter. the show's die-hards which all of them it would seem swarmed to help fund the "veronica mars" movie and made $6 million. the scar kristin bell joined us yesterday. this is even for crowd sourcing and kickstarter, which is a fantastic thing, you had the idea about a year ago today to do this. >> uh-huh. >> in the first few hours, it's like watching a ticker. what was that like? >> it blew my mind. we were hopeful. i had been sort of the pied piper trying to convince warner brothers for a year we would take off and we'd do all right but in my wildest dreams those first 12 hours, i couldn't have imagined that. we -- we asked for $2 million and we had 30 days to get there and we got there in less than 12 hours. >> less than 12 hours, so you get about 6 million bucks. great way to make a movie. what i love, though, is when the

show went off the air, you made something of a calculated artistic decision to not give it a satisfying conclusion. >> that's right. the network, when we had three or four episodes left, asked me if maybe i would consider putting a nice little bow on the show. they said there's a chance you won't be back for a fourth season, and i didn't want to go down easy. i wanted to go down swinging, so i wrote an ending that left no one satisfied, that left veronica in a very precarious position, and i think that if i had given a nice bow on the ending of the show, we wouldn't be doing this now. i think fans would have been sad to see us go, but they wouldn't have had to see the conclusion of "veronica mars." >> speaking of fan, i want to get to our instagram board and i want to have one fan, in fact, ask you their question. >> i'm nuron and i wanted to know how it feels to have the movie funded by the fans. >> it's a tremendous responsibility. it's humbling in some ways, but then you feel like you have

91,000 bosses, and so i rejected different plots of the movie because it didn't -- they didn't roll in all the fan favorites like i'm a fan of the show. i felt like i had a pretty good idea of what fans wanted to see, and so i had to come up with a plot that gave them the most bang for the buck that got to all those sort of "veronica mars" pleasure zones. >> and it seems like you had fans involved in the movie, extras. >> yeah. >> i tell you what, some incredible and new artistic sharing and congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> i've been really looking forward to it. rob thomas. it's in theaters, "veronica mars" is, this friday. coming up here, the duggar family talking live about their new book. go nowhere. ♪ my sisters and me

♪ we are family. all right. we are joined by the stars of the tlc hit series "19 kids and counting." and here they are, the duggar clan. the four eldest daughters though, jinger, jessa, jill and jana. all authors. they have just written a book where they share never before told stories of life in this me megafamily. it's called "growing up duggar." it's all about relationships and, girls, i think that is so true especially in your case. i love how honest you are and you talk about really things we can all use like the way your dad, jim bob, and mom, michelle, raised you. the obedience game.

will one you share with us how that worked and how it has gone from childhood to your adult life? >> it was really fun when we were little. they would teach us to be obedient, you know, building good character by telling one of us, you know, go touch the boy's bed and run and go touch the front door and come back, and then now like it just -- it's just a little way, and they still do it with the little kids but it's a fun way for them to learn good character and quick obedience. you know, if it's not instant, it's not obedience at all and then it plays over into other areas of life. >> it sort of was like simon says. >> yeah. >> where you didn't even realize it. how do you think that's helped you develop your character as women? >> i think it's really just like overall the character that our parents have instilled in us from the time we were little, you know, playing with toys and a quarrel or something, they work it out right then and try not to let things just build up over time. >> everything is around

character, so we're learning kindness and patience and self-control and all those type of things and we would memorize definitions for each of those and practice with our siblings to build strong relationships there. >> and it is all about relationships. you young ladies are now of the age, you know, and you're very honest about dating and how it works in your world and courting. will you share with us? >> well, courtship is the new season of life. and, yes, it's exciting. >> you're living it right now. >> yeah, i am. >> congratulations. >> we call it dating with a purpose and so not just like little frivolous like here and there. like really considering the person as a potential life partner and so, yeah, very exciting. >> and, jinger, you guys even get the guys involved in the family. if you find one with potential, you rely on the boys. >> so they always like to check him out and make sure the young man has character and that he's

going to treat them with respect. >> that's something we talk about in the book and the chapter about guys is what we're looking for, you know, and things that we want to -- we want to look at not just, oh, he's a cute guy but see the heart of the matter. is he going to be a good father? is he slow to anger? things like that and have a list in there that kind of helps girls really think deeper than just the surface. >> yeah, and i love too when you talk about how you all get along, the buddy system in a family. i think it's a really beautiful thing. sort of going, okay, i got you because that's a metaphor for life having each other's back. isn't it? >> yeah, one of each. best friend, as well, so that's something that we have done ever since we were little and so the buddy system help, especially when we're out and there's like little ones just teaming up or one big team, family team. >> and also there's a really nice story about laughing with each other and not at each other. >> uh-huh. >> wouldn't that be nice if we all did that. >> we're not perfect, though. >> yeah.

is there anything that you're not perfect at because you do open up. you're pretty honest about, you know, you are -- your core values are clearly so intact, but you're real. >> we are. >> you know, you've been honest, michelle, mom, you talked about your struggle with bulimia. what do you hope readers get out of sharing that information? >> well, i think the girls and i talked about that and realized that everybody has their struggles in life, and whenever we are able to overcome those struggles with god's help, i think we want to encourage others in that endeavor to hopefully be able to be a source of help because we, like we said, we're not a perfect family, we have -- >> pretty perfect, though. i mean, this was pretty amazing. i mean, unbelievably well behaved and it's been such a pleasure. i hope you've enjoyed social square. >> yes, very much. >> yes. >> a lot of our viewers checking in, jim bob and michelle, a new

season is about to start. we all know "19 kids and counting," so are we still counting? >> yes. >> are we still -- >> in different ways i think. we're excited. we would love to have more children, but we'll wait and see. i guess we'll have to check in at the next season. >> wow. that is a tease, everybody. >> april 1st. >> april 1st, and your new book, girls -- >> "growing up duggar." >> now, you ladies did this on your own. congratulations. >> thank you. >> it's all about relationships. it's in stores and the new season, april 1st. thank you all. hey, everybody, stay with us. we've got a fabulous performance by sara evans coming up on "gma." so stay with us. ♪
