good morning, america. breaking right now, a dramatic moment at a news conference in malaysia. >> this is coming to me as quick as you are seeing it on tv. >> investigators handed a piece of paper saying that chinese officials have spotted images of what may be debris in the indian ocean. what could this mean for the hunt for flight 370? also breaking overnight, explosion. there one minute, gone the next. a house blown to bits in south carolina. so what could have caused it? fashion faux pas. kim kardashian and kanye west get the coveted cover of "vogue" and social media explodes with outrage. why the editor says this couple deserves to be there. and busted brackets.
7:01 am
upsets galore as march madness tips off. the latest, mercer downing mighty duke. is anybody even still in the running for warren buffett's billion dollar perfect pick challenge? hey, good morning. let's get right to the breaking news and up fresh, an intriguing clue in the search for malaysia flight 370. here's the moment, malaysian officials holding a news conference shortly before we come on the air. >> and that's when they get an e-mail saying a chinese satellite has spotted a large object in the search area. this is the image. ships are now speeding to the area to investigate. >> all right. so the question now is as the search enters its third week, is this the break that everybody has been hoping and waiting for? abc's david wright has the latest now from perth, australia. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dan.
7:02 am
this is very much a developing story right now. that bombshell dropped moments ago at the regular briefing by malaysian authorities. it's not clear yet whether it's a solid lead or more false hope. what we can say is that by the end of the day today, they have searched an area bigger than the state of california and found nothing, but now there's a new place to look. the acting malaysian transport minister was handed the news as he was briefing reporters. >> the news that i just received is that the chinese received a satellite image of a floating object in the southern corridor, and they're sending ships to verify. i wouldn't know. this is all i have. >> reporter: a grainy image of a floating object 73 feet long and 42 feet wide spotted by a chinese satellite. today the eyes in the sky included four military search planes plus two private jets. down on the water, a chinese ice
7:03 am
breaker joined in the search, and tomorrow, china and japan will dispatch three additional search planes. >> tenuous though it inevitably is, this is nevertheless the first credible evidence of anything that has happened to flight mh370. >> reporter: but so far despite five days scouring a huge swath of open sea, no debris found. the searchers have their eyes and instruments focused on the surface, watching for anything that floats. a debris field, the best clue where to find any larger wreckage below. choppy waves and poor visibility are the least of their challenges. even if the searchers do find the missing plane, it'll be a challenge to recover the cockpit recorders that may finally answer this riddle. right now it is truly a race against the clock. the batteries on those black boxes running out. a tropical storm headed into the search area. the focus now is going to
7:04 am
intensely be on those chinese satellite images. are they a solid lead? we'll keep you posted. bianna. >> a potentially huge development. david, our thanks to you. >> yeah, thank you, david. so, let's bring in abc news aviation consultant and former commercial pilot john nance who joins us from seattle. let's talk about this chinese satellite imagery. to you does this seem like a promising lead? >> well, it's just as promising as the previous one if we can get there in time. we don't know when these pictures were taken, dan, and that was one of the things before was three days between the time the picture was and the time anybody started to search. this is about the right size for a, for instance, wing or another portion of the airplane so it is intriguing, and it has some promise if they can get there in time before it either sinks or drifts away. >> so we're looking at the image right now. in fact, we just found out right before we came on the air that the image is four days old. given that information, given the size of the search area and the chop of the seas there, how optimistic should we be about finding this?
7:05 am
>> i think we need some luck. we need a lot of luck on this because the time is running out on the beepers or the pingers, rather, and this is a huge area of ocean. this is is one of the things that i think we don't really completely understand worldwide, how big this planet really is and how poor relatively to what we think we have in terms of capability for sensors, how poor that capability really is. we can't see everything all the time. >> and give us a sense, if you will, of how difficult an area this particular area is to search. >> well, this area is very challenging. first of all, it's one of the most remote oceans on the planet. secondly, there's a lot of stormy activity, especially this time of year. christmas island is getting walloped right now by a typhoon that's a little bit north of the search area, and you've got normally very high waves, sometimes as high as 40 and 50 feet. that can scatter wreckage pretty fast. >> and let me ask, john, one last question here. we keep getting these satellite images days after the government takes them. this one came four days
7:06 am
afterwards. do you have a sense of what's going on here? why are they waiting so long? >> not waiting. they're processing. just a gigantic amount of information and a tremendous number of pictures. these satellites are taking thousands of shots, and to go over every one of them and find something in there, they're using algorithms as well as people, but when they find them sometimes it's two or three days in. >> so that's useful perspective to have, absolutely, given the the frustration of so many people. >> like a needle in the haystack. >> yeah. >> absolutely. >> john nance, thanks very much. meantime, relatives of the passengers on board the missing malaysian airlines flight have been living a two-week agony with their hopes raised and dashed at every turn as they wait for word on what happened to hair loved ones. abc's bob woodruff has been speaking with them in kuala lumpur. bob. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. yeah, this news certainly is going to have an impact on the family members. they've gone through this so many times before. last week the chinese satellite thought that it identified debris. turns out that was not true. the prime minister of australia
7:07 am
said there was another one discovered. they have not found that either. so the families really don't want to react much to this until something real has been found. with the search now concentrating on possible debris, sarah bajc is praying that her boyfriend, philip wood landed safely although that hope is fading. >> i'm cautiously pessimistic about this. i don't want it to be parts of the plane because i've been holding out that the passengers are still alive. >> reporter: patrick gomez is the chief steward on flight 370. his four children, his 2-year-old grandson rafael and his wife jacqui have kept a candle burning in his bedroom so even his soul could find its way home. >> if it's in the ocean, it brings us closure, but we hope that if it's a hijacking and all that somewhere, then there's hope that he's still alive.
7:08 am
and he'll come back to us. but if it's in the ocean it's final, you know. he comes back in a different way. which is all that we want. >> reporter: what does rafael know about all of this? >> he doesn't know. >> reporter: he has no idea this is happening. >> yeah. >> reporter: there is also anger bubbling among the families. at the news conference this week, a protest from this chinese mom and then dragged away into a separate room. the gomes family is stunned. >> it's painful to watch that. she's so upset, and then, you know, you just -- the way they dragged her out from that room, that was bad. >> reporter: at the hotels there is growing depression. medical and psychological concerns for the families. >> you had to call an ambulance. >> yeah, because elderly people are passing out, and we need to call ambulances. >> my cousin just said that, you know, god has plans for all of us.
7:09 am
so maybe god has a good plan for him up there. he needed patrick up there to fly one of his aircrafts, you know, or cook him a good meal. >> reporter: now, jacqui and her daughters have also told me today they don't really want to watch this. they're so tired of it. they've been on this up and down roller coaster for all of these weeks. when something is actually physically seen, that's when they'll start paying attention. dan. >> that makes complete sense. absolutely. >> i can't even imagine what those families must be going through. >> very difficult. meantime, let's turn to ron claiborne with the other top stories developing this morning. hey, ron. >> hi there, bianna golodryga. dan harris, good morning, everyone. in the news, macdill air force base in florida went into lockdown while police tried to find a man who came through the front gates and was loose on the base. investigators say he barreled through the entrance friday night and then took off on foot. police found the man hiding inside the base about 45 minutes later and arrested him. the incident comes as the base prepares to open its doors to the public this weekend for its annual air fest show.
7:10 am
organizers say the security breach will not affect that show. and in south carolina a house exploded sending flames into the night sky and rattling the ground for miles. it happened in lancaster county, but residents as far as ten miles away say they felt that rumbling. no one was home at the time of the blast. fire officials on the scene say a natural gas leak was apparently the cause of that explosion. and federal investigators have released a preliminary report on that deadly seattle news helicopter crash, this after examining three pieces of surveillance video. the report by the ntsb says the chopper started to lift off from the roof of the abc affiliate komo and then rotated counterclockwise 360 degrees before crashing to the ground below. the pilot gary pfitzner and veteran journalist bill strothman were killed in that crash. and in new jersey, the bodies of the four victims killed in that massive motel fire on the jersey shore, they have been recovered. police say some of the 40 people inside that hotel at the time of
7:11 am
the blaze were living there after being displaced by super storm sandy. a full investigation is under way. and finally, a big night for our very own robin roberts. she was honored during a halftime at the atlanta hawks/new orleans pelicans game at the phillips arena friday in atlanta. the hawks' owner said robin embodies what it means to be a champion and awarded her with the be greater award for her courage, spirit and philanthropy. robin was a -- with atlanta native and former hawks dominique wilkins who wore robin's 21 from her playing days at southeastern university. robin promised to make a $10,000 donation to the be the match organization if wilkins sank a three-pointer. this is a guy, he's a hall-of-famer in basketball. >> i know who he is. >> number two in all-time three-pointers. over 700 in his career. he missed. >> no. >> he missed. robin went ahead and made the donation anyway. >> yeah, i would think that she would do that. >> a lot of pressure there. >> her sister dorothy too. great.
7:12 am
thanks, ron. >> thanks, ron. listen to this. we are hearing for the first time from the thrill-seeking teenager who caused a major security breach at ground zero. he got through security at one world trade center and made his way all the way up to the spire. he and his dad are now speaking out, and abc's gio benitez has been on this story from the jump. >> reporter: good morning to you, dan. the young daredevil climbed the nation's tallest building, but, remember, it's also the site of the 9/11 attacks, and officials promised it would be the most secure building on earth. in new photos we get a closer look at justin casquejo, the teenager who police say broke into one world trade center and climbed to the very top. now the 16-year-old apparent thrill seeker is apologizing tweeting, "i seriously apologize to anyone who may have been insulted or felt disrespected by my actions. it was not my intention to do so." >> sorry is always helpful and a judge and a prosecutor will take that into consideration, but he still broke the law. >> reporter: but these photos
7:13 am
exclusive to abc news seem to show the jersey teen apparently reveling in his stunt, carrying the headlines that have made him famous. the jersey teen is accused of squeezing through a one-foot opening in a fence before dawn sunday climbing the scaffolding to the sixth floor taking the elevator to the 88th floor, then walking up the stairs to the 104th floor passing a sleeping security guard. on the roof he climbed a ladder up to the antenna at the very top of the building. abc news has learned at this point in construction there are no working cameras that high up in the building. >> there's still no excuse for it. there are ways that you can set up lights, cameras and physical security that could stop people from coming in and climbing to the top of the world trade center. >> reporter: by 6:00 a.m. a construction worker spotted casquejo. the teen was arrested and charged with criminal trespass. now casquejo's father tells abc news, "i hope this ends soon and that he doesn't do anything like this again." and port authority officials are now taking a closer look at
7:14 am
security there at the site. as for the teen, he tells us he has no comment and so does his lawyer. if convicted, he could face more than three months in jail. >> so shocking that a kid could get away with this. >> unbelievable. right? >> yeah, absolutely. >> thank you. well, now to new concerns about the effectiveness of sunscreen. with spring break right around the corner and millions of americans set to hit the beach, there's a push to get the fda to approve new ingredients used in europe but not here in the u.s. that better protect against the sun's most harmful ultraviolet rays. 3.5 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the u.s. each year, and for more on this, abc senior medical contributor dr. jen ashton joins us. >> good morning. >> why is it so much easier for the europeans to have stronger ingredients? >> look, this is a frustrating situation for the lay public and health professionals alike and it's really all about the process we undergo here for products to get fda approval. it's in place to assure the product, is it safe, is it
7:15 am
effective? sometimes that process is better here, sometimes it's worse. it's definitely different. >> so what is it going to take for the fda to modify their regulations now? >> they have to test these products, and when you compare the products that we have here to what they have in europe, you know, europe's products tend to be more thorough, more complete, more broad spectrum. they cover both the uva and the uvb rays and they stay on our skin and have potential rally less absorption into our bloodstream but before we all pack up and move to europe to get these products, you know, it's interesting because if you look at the skin cancer statistics, bianna, in europe, let's say in a country like england, they haven't declined significantly since these products have been available, so it's something we're going to have to watch. >> what is your recommendation? you said spring is already here. i forgot what my arms and legs look like it's been so cold. but when i go out, i see spf 30, 50, i see 75, i see even 100. what is your recommendation
7:16 am
as to what people should buy? >> people, first of all, should apply sunscreen every day, not just in the summer. they should look for products that block both uva and uvb rays. they're both important. they should cover up as much as possible, especially the face and hands. the areas that are exposed all the time, and, look, if all else fails, you can embrace that lifeguard image and go for the good old zinc oxide, the white stuff, which is very effective. it's just that it's a little unsightly. >> this goes for moisturizers and daily wear use, as well. >> correct. >> very important. >> we'll be watching. >> jen, great to see you, thanks. >> you too. big sun hats work as well. i'm a big fan of that. any, way, now to march madness and the groans heard around the country. mercer's surprise victory over number three seed duke did not help matters. fans hoping to win office pools or even that billion dollar warren buffett prize finding their dreams dashed. so with all these brackets busted, is anybody still in the hunt? abc's ryan smith has been crunching numbers. hey, ryan, good morning. >> reporter: hey, dan. every year so many of us say
7:17 am
this is our year to win our ncaa tournament polls or even a billion dollars promised by warren buffett for that perfect bracket. you see, guys, i had a shot at perfection, but as you can see here, yeah, busted already. look at the sea of red over there, and with all upsets reigning supreme, many more may soon fall. in college hoops, it's cinderella's year. >> got it! >> reporter: underdogs north dakota state and dayton knocking off traditional powerhouses oklahoma and ohio state and the mother of all upsets, mercer university with 4400 students out of macon, georgia, knocking off the mighty four-time champion duke blue devils in the first round. upsets turning this year's ncaa tournament upside down. just two days in filling their fans with glee but ruining millions of americans' tournament brackets, and remember warren buffett's challenge to give a billion bucks to the winner of all 64 games, he told us -- >> someone who wins the billion dollars, i'll throw in a little free advice. i'll tell you actually i may ask
7:18 am
to be included in their win. >> reporter: the chances of winning that, only 1 in 9.2 quadrillion but still we believed. >> i don't care what the scoreboard says, at the end of the game in my book we're going to be winners. >> reporter: not quite gene hackman. after just two days, how many of the 15 million remain in the running? zero. nada. fans all along were confident they would beat buffett's challenge. >> my brackets are alive. warren buffett is nervous as hell right now. me and my wife, right there in our bracket. >> i've done 50 polls. so, yes, i'm not out of anything. >> reporter: but in the end -- >> all the way. >> reporter: -- one thing rang true. >> it's pretty amazing that you have so many games, and after even one round, everyone is eliminated. maybe you could beat the house, but i don't think you could beat warren buffett. >> and that's why he's warren buffett. boy, such a long shot that duke lost. only 3% of the 11 million entrants in espn's tournament challenge picked them to lose this early. and, guys, as for my
7:19 am
exceptionally ugly bracket, i guess my team must have been out of whack. >> your team is out of whack. >> or wasn't centered. >> i know warren buffett well enough to know that he does not like to part with money, so putting a billion dollars on the table, obviously he knew the odds. >> i didn't even know quadrillion was a number. >> 18 zeros. >> was that invented recently? >> i think so. >> thank you, i appreciate that. in the impossible to answer question category. thank you, ryan. appreciate it. >> you're welcome. time now for the weather. we welcome from 6 abc philadelphia wpvi meteorologist cecily tynan joining us for the first tile on a weekend. we appreciate having you here. >> good morning, i'm happy to be here. a little bit of march madness weatherwise. first saturday of spring, mother nature did not get the memo. minneapolis down to 10 degrees today. chicago yesterday 58. this morning, 38 degrees. fargo down to 9. rapid city, 18 degrees. these temperatures are 10 to 15 degrees below normal, and this cold air is migrating to the south and east, so winter will be returning the next four nights.

keep the winter coats on hand. boston overnight lows dropping down into the teens. washington, d.c., below freezing. st. louis down into the 20s. and chicago, tuesday night all the way down to 19 degrees, and with this arctic air moving in, this sets the stage for the possibility of a late march nor'easter. this low pressure will be developing across the southeast coast next tuesday into wednesday. the big question is, how quickly does it intensify? how close to the coast does it hug? but we're looking at the potential of snow all the way from the carolinas to maine. stay tuned.

7:32 am
shockingly missed opportunities. she was 3 years old, asleep in her bed while her parents dined just 150 feet away. the family enjoying a vacation in portugal, and then she vanished into the night. a worldwide sensation then the trail went cold. that was in may 2007, and this week after all these years, a possible suspect and an announcement from scotland yard. >> here we have a man who has a very, very disturbing and unhealthy interest in young white female children who he is attacking whilst they're on their holiday in their beds. >> reporter: british investigators are finally learning the full details about a series of child sexual assaults that took place in the years right before and after maddie disappeared in the same area of portugal at resorts within just 30 miles of each other. a man breaking into buildings on 12 separate occasions, and he
7:33 am
sexually assaulted five other young, white, british girls. portuguese police facing harsh criticism for their handling of the case say they have long known of these attacks and had a suspect, euclides monteiro, a former waiter at the resort where the mccanns were staying. but they said they had insufficient evidence to charge him, and he died in 2009. but scotland yard isn't convinced monteiro is the culprit here. and maddie's mother says she will never give up her search for answers. >> it doesn't matter how much heartbreak we put ourselves through so long as, you know, we get the result that we need. >> this case has become a mission for investigators at scotland yard. one of them saying this week that even if there's just a 0.1% chance that maddie might still be out there, they will pursue every lead doggedly until the end. dan and bianna. >> got to be a source of some comfort at least to the parents but they have been through hell. terry, thank you. a lot of other news this morning. for that let's take it over to ron for a look at the headlines. >> dan, bianna, sara, we'll talk
