tv   Good Morning America  ABC  March 21, 2014 7:00am-9:01am PDT

7:00 am
good morning, america. happening now in the search for the missing jumbo jet, planes in the air all night over the remote rough seas zeroing in on that search area. no signs of wreckage and new worrisome questions about the key data held back by the malaysian government wasting time in a search where every second counts. breaking now, vladimir putin fires back after president obama slaps new sanctions on russia. all aimed at putin's inner circle. his response this morning as tensions escalate in the ukraine crisis. plus, stunning security breaches at the freedom tower. how this 16-year-old boy slipped past a security guard to make it all the way to the top. his camera rolling. how could the new world trade center be this vulnerable before it opens later this year? new baby buggy. new baby -- new -- >> that's it.
7:01 am
>> oh, my god. >> and the whiz kid with the words. the "wheel of fortune" stunner speaks out this morning. how he did it with just two letters to go on and why he thinks he solved it so fast. and good morning, america. happy friday on this first full day of spring. we've got brand-new video coming in right now on the massive search effort from malaysia, flight 370, went all night long and that search zone in the southern indian ocean so remote. here's how the australian prime minister described it overnight, "the most inaccessible spot that you could imagine on the face of the earth." >> that says a lot right there. five planes and a growing number of ships in that icy stretch of ocean, half way to antarctica. the worry now is that the images seen in these satellite pictures are now several days old.
7:02 am
and if that is debris, it could have sunk. let's get right to david kerley with the very latest overnight. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the planes are in that area as you mentioned at this hour. over a much smaller search area over the indian ocean. but still no sign of any wreckage and more planes are rushing there right now. but should they have been there days earlier because the malaysians delayed the release of that important satellite data? so far, no radar pings, so aircrews are looking by eye for any debris on the rough south indian ocean. those pictures from a satellite of possible debris taken five days ago, nothing found. could it have sunk by now? worrisome questions especially now that we have learned that days may have been wasted in the search. the malaysians were told they may be searching in the wrong place more than a week ago. we know that because of the data from the satellite that recorded those six pings from the jet. it showed that the jet kept moving all 7 1/2 hours it was in the air and the company concluded that off australia was
7:03 am
the best place to look, just four days after the disappearance, the data was given to the malaysians suggesting those two massive arcs for searching but also with the conclusion that all indications pointed to off australia as the likely spot to find the plane. the malaysians only shared the news of the arcs three days later. >> the prime minister was briefed of the satellite information at 8:00 a.m., saturday the 15th of march. >> reporter: and it was two more days before malaysia officially asked the u.s. and australia to search the south indian ocean. a five-day delay while resources were used elsewhere. >> just such an egregious slip-up. it should have been released and people start looking in those areas and quit wasting their time and efforts in areas where you knew the plane couldn't be. >> reporter: the problem debris drifts up to 120 to 150 miles a day and two weeks after a possible crash, much of it could be gone, sunk, making finding any remains on the bottom of the ocean more difficult. and don't forget, those black
7:04 am
box pinger batteries may only last another two weeks. now, the malaysians plan to talk to the defense secretary chuck hagel today. they'll be asking for hydrophones that can be dropped on the surface of the ocean to listen for those pingers. we'll see what happens, george. >> we will, thanks very much. more on the search from abc's david wright. remember he was on one of the first u.s. search planes yesterday. he joins us now from perth, australia, nerve center for that country's search. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is the staging area for the royal australian air force. behind me there, the latest search plane to come back empty-handed. five of them have been out today poring over that icy patch of ocean halfway to antarctica including the u.s. navy p8 we were aboard just yesterday. this is a huge search area. the airplanes dividing it up searching in a grid pattern pouring over it almost like a lawn mower in huge 250-mile swaths. each plane covers one each day about the size of los angeles. in addition to the aircraft there are now a growing number
7:05 am
of ships in the region. china dispatching three warships and possibly even an ice breaker. also a norwegian freighter taking part in the search efforts. today the malaysian government reportedly reached out asking for sonar buoys to help them locate the transponders of the black boxes if any wreckage is found. the searchers insist they're not discouraged. they'll keep looking. george, robin? >> all right, david, thank you very much. george, as you said the part of the ocean where the search is converging is notoriously dangerous. nicknamed the roaring 40s. ginger is here with a challenging condition searchers are facing right you, ging. >> it has to do with the latitude in the 40s but the roaring part is the violent weather and all of that open ocean. the wind just screams across and say, you've got this here. this represents what we saw on satellite. it's fighting waves up to about 15 feet high. just south of there the waves 25 feet high so it's extremely violent and it gets picked up by
7:06 am
this current pushed back toward australia at about at its best one mile per hour, so it's fast. and we also are pushing it toward one of the deepest ocean trenches in the entire world. it's right there and you can see the depth of that average on the indian ocean is 13,000 feet. the depth of that trench, 26,000. so if that chunk got underwater and then gets into the trench it's basically like going into an abyss. >> wow. ginger, thanks very much. let's get more on this from our aviation consultant, steve began yard. ginger outlined the challenges there so well. on the surface the ocean is so rough and moving so fast and then again it's also so deep. >> that's right, george. another thing to consider here is the current moves one way and the wind moves another and so the current is pushing that debris along and the wind is pushing it in a different direction so not only moving it away from the impact site but it's actually disbursing it.
7:07 am
and i think that goes to a point here that we need to consider this search in two separate entities here. there's a surface search where there's debris on the water, they have airplanes out there looking out the window but then there's a subsurface search and that's what the australians are asking for help with. in the air france mishap the u.s. navy provided underwater -- sort of like microphones on a batmobile that flies around at low altitudes next to the ocean floor that can listen to that pinger. so, again, we need to think about there's a surface search and then hundreds of miles away is the impact point. but i think so much time has gone by and so much drift has occurred that just finding the wreckage really isn't going to help us find that impact point. >> that raises the question of how seriously this whole investigation has been hampered by the malaysian delay. malaysians' delay in letting out this key information. >> you bet. it's not just that we've run down the clock a bit on the pingers that david was talking about but it's this dispersal. if we had been able to get out to the wreckage earlier and been
7:08 am
able to do a little bit of backtracking to figure out where the impact point might have been it would have helped us find where the wreckage is on the ocean floor. but at this point i think we have two separate searches going on. we have to think about above the ocean and below the ocean but they really don't have much of any inoperability at this point. >> as the malaysian department of transportation said today, it's going to be a long haul. okay, stephen ganyard, thanks very much. >> it already is, george. the tense standoff over the ukraine crisis. russian president putin firing back after president obama announced a new round of u.s. sanctions against russia on thursday. abc's jon karl is here in the studio with us and has the latest on this. this is really escalating. >> yeah. i'll tell you something, robin. after the president announced the new sanctions, the russian tock market took a dive and although vladimir putin responded with sanctions of his own, this morning he seems to be saying enough is enough. this time president obama is
7:09 am
going right at president putin aiming sanctions at his chief of staff, his billionaire friends and a bank so tied to putin's associates it could be called putin's piggy bank. >> these are all choices that the russian government has made, choices that have been rejected by the international community as well as the government of ukraine. >> reporter: the move comes amid reports russia has amassed some 20,000 troops on its border with ukraine, a move president obama warned could be a sign putin may be about to go further. >> the world is watching with grave concern as russia has positioned its military in a way that could lead to further incursions. >> reporter: but right as president obama was speaking putin slapped his own sanctions including a ban on traveling to russia on nine top u.s. officials including two obama aides and republicans john mccain and speaker of the house john boehner. mccain mocked the russian move tweeting "i guess this means my spring break in siberia is off.
7:10 am
"this morning, however, he said russia should avoid further retaliation against u.s. sanctions but he says he plans to open a new account at that very bank sanctioned by the united states. putin made it clear this morning he doesn't want the ukraine dispute to further hurt russia's relations with the united states. but there is no indication he is backing down on the military takeover of crimea. >> and if he goes in with those troops into eastern ukraine, all bets are off. >> all bets are off. there are 20,000 of those troops on the border. the u.s. is very worried about that. >> a lot more on sunday on "this week." good to see you. i guess that whooping cough got the best of josh. he tried to fight it off. >> he really tried. an honest try. alas, i am here. >> good to have you here. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with an alert for taxpayers. what the irs is calling the biggest phone scam it's ever seen. the agency says more than 20,000 people have been targeted by callers claiming to be tax agents who demand money. the irs doesn't do that. well, they do demand money, just

sniffing out a suspect. doctors worked on him all night long with the bullet just an inch from his heart. the six-year veteran of the anaheim police force, though, is expected to recover. we're excited about that. best wishes to bruno. finally, plenty of march madness drama has already wrecked millions, millions of brackets, start with north dakota state's overtime win last night over heavily favored oklahoma. it was one of four o.t. games thursday. and that's actually a record. texas waited until just before the final buzzer to beat arizona state. but it was the day's first game, dayton's huge upset of ohio state that eliminated, get this, 83% of the entries in warren buffett's billion bracket challenge. i wonder how josh is feeling this morning. >> yeah. >> i wonder how he's doing. >> i don't know how his bracket made out that first day. four overtime games. >> that's incredible. >> love march madness. >> thanks very much. we turn to that security breach at what was supposed to be one of the most heavily guarded buildings on earth.
7:13 am
a 16-year-old boy made it all the way to the spire of one world trade center and abc's gio benitez is on the scene right now. good morning, gio. so hard to believe this was even possible. >> reporter: yeah, george. everyone is just stunned. i mean here we are at the site of the 9/11 attacks and still a kid, a teenager, was able to walk right in undetected. this morning serious questions over how this 16-year-old allegedly broke into and climbed what's supposed to be one of the most secure buildings on earth, one world trade center. "the new york post" which broke the story published these photos of justin casquejo on top of other buildings and swinging from cranes in the past. but how did he allegedly breech the 9/11 memorial site? >> it's a huge lapse in security. he shouldn't be able to even get on that property. >> reporter: police tell abc news the new jersey teen squeezed through a one-foot opening in a fence around the construction site at 4:00 a.m. then climbed the scaffolding up to the sixth floor, took the
7:14 am
elevator to the 88th floor without eliciting suspicion from an elevator attendant, then walked up to the stairs to the 104th floor where he went right past a sleeping security guard. once on the roof he climbed a ladder up to the antenna at the very top of the building seen here when george stephanopoulos took "gma" on a breathtaking tour in 2012. then at 6:00 a.m., casquejo is busted. a construction worker spotted him and police moved in. a security official tells us there are no working cameras above the 88th floor. >> it's shocking and troubling. and i don't know how it possibly could have happened. >> reporter: the teen's friends telling local newspapers saying they helped him scope out the site a few times before figures out how to break in. another friend telling us he was the leader of the pack. >> he's the type of kid who would see something, people would be like you're crazy for doing it and honestly, that's nothing and would do it. >> reporter: this morning, the port authorities saying "we
7:15 am
continue to reassess our security posture at the site and are constantly working to make this site as secure as possible." as for that sleeping guard, he has been fired. and we were able to reach that 16-year-old overnight. he had no comment but he does have a lawyer. he's been charged with criminal trespass and faces more than three months in jail, george. >> okay, gio, thanks very much. boy, amy, you were talking about before we came out, i don't want to condone what he did in any way, shape or form, but in some ways he's done everyone a real service here, a wakeup call. >> everyone knows it can happen now. >> incredible. now to that unbelievable guest that had people gasping on the "wheel of fortune," even pat and vanna. with two letters the contestant nails it. now he's speaking out about how he thinks he solved it so fast. ryan owens talks to the big winner. >> "d." >> and a vowel. >> "o." >> reporter: so maybe he's not so good at guessing the letters. >> vanna, hello, vanna.
7:16 am
>> this looks tough to me. >> reporter: but the words, he's a whiz at that. >> good luck. >> new baby buggy. new baby -- new -- >> that's it. >> oh. oh, my god. >> reporter: no one could believe it, least of all 25-year-old emil de leon. >> i was very scatterbrained at that time. >> reporter: how did he do it? the nursing student said baby buggy came to mind because he had just been studying pediatrics. >> i had this spot in my head what could it possibly be that a baby could use using those letters. >> reporter: so baby was on the brain. >> had baby on the brain. >> reporter: pat say jack was so skeptical he frisked emil then he tweeted "most amazing solve in my 30 plus years on the show, no kidding." >> "l." >> reporter: the wheel has spun good fortune for lucky guessers before. in 2010 a fashion editor nailed it working with just one of 27 letters. >> i've got a good feeling about
7:17 am
this. >> that's right. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: emil won $45,000 for that shot in the dark. what will he do with the money? now it's your turn to play. >> pay off school loans. >> reporter: good guess. for "good morning america," ryan owens, abc news, los angeles. >> oh, man. so let's see how good we are. rachel smith, you're our ringer. okay? >> great. >> put it up and see if we can guess. okay. >> a phrase. >> okay. >> finally. >> finally, that's good. >> finally spring! >> finally spring! >> finally friday. >> with one -- >> hey. >> nice teamwork. >> finally friday. >> do we have another one? >> it takes five.

plea. most accept it. certain judges say no. what you're saying is i'm willing to take the consequences here. i think that the prosecution could likely prove its case, but i am not willing or ready to plead guilty. it has the same legal impact as a guilty plea in terms of sentence and everything else. >> it won't affect the sentencing. >> no. this is a huge win for him. after the first hung jury of 11-1 for guilt, the prosecutors offered him second degree murder with more than double this kind of sentence. he said no. he waited and now he's getting half the sentence he was initially offered. >> okay, because that's why he's taking this, because a lot of people were thinking, you said 11-1 guilty though it was a hung jury and wondering why would he be offered a plea deal? >> you sometimes lear about people saying they're copping a deal. this is a copout deal. this is basically him being able to say, oh, you know, i think that i'm totally innocent but i didn't get a fair trial, et cetera. the reality is it allows the

family to move on. it allows prosecutors not to have to try him. it's a very long case, it allows him to get what i think is a very good deal, but no question that the prosecutors probably consulted with the family before offering this to say, hey, are you ready -- you ready to do this. listening to him say that in court must somebody so hard for the family. they're all convinced he did it so this is a very -- it's a very technical issue, this alford plea but the reality it has the same impact as a guilty plea. >> we continue to think of the family because it's hard for us to hear this. i can only imagine what it is for them. hey, dan, thanks very much. we'll hear more of john's report on this case tonight on "20/20" at 10:00 p.m., 9:00 central. the latest on oscar pistorius on trial in south africa for murdering his girlfriend, model girlfriend, reeva steenkamp and to raise money he's trying to sell the home where the killing took place last year, abc's matt gutman tracking every step of
