morning menu and how mickey d.'s is fighting back. hey, good morning, everybody. lots going on this morning including news in the hunt for flight 370. what the chinese say one of their planes spotted off the coast of australia overnight and the really surprising comments from a malaysian official seeming to offer fresh hope to the families of the passengers and also seeming to contradict some of their earlier statements. >> oh, and you mention the families. what they have been going through the past 3 1/2 weeks is just harrowing. also ahead on "gma," you'll be interested in this story, the red hot political drama "house of cards" in the middle of a real-life drama this morning with uncle sam. why the show is threatening to leave maryland where it is filmed and how state lawmakers are firing back to try to make them stay. >> yeah, they're pulling a real frank underwood move in maryland this morning. >> yes, they are.

>> we'll tell you about that coming up. but we're going to start here with the breaking news out of california. the 5.1 magnitude earthquake centered in northern orange county with more than 20 aftershocks. it may have been relatively moderate, but this quake is of particular concern to seismologists, and abc's ryan owens is in brea, california, with more. ryan, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you, dan. we're about an hour east of los angeles, not far from the e epicenter of this quake. i'm on a road that right now is closed. take a look behind me and you can see why. there was a rock slide here. you see that car overturned. just some of the damage here. the quake did more than rattle nerves. it sent bottles flying off store shelves, mirrors crashing to the ground. >> when i felt it, i felt like the world was going to end. >> reporter: it wasn't the big one, but it was big enough, magnitude, 5.1. its epicenter south of los angeles in orange county, the oc near the city of la habra.

the shaker wasn't strong enough to cause major structural damage or serious injuries, but it did trigger a small rock slide that overturned this car. the driver is okay. a few water main breaks were also blamed on the quake. the ground shook just after 9:00 friday night in the sixth inning of the dodgers game. >> we might be experimenting -- or experiment, i experience, i should say, an earthquake here. >> everyone just sat still. is it happening? is that an earthquake? >> reporter: this came comes less than two weeks after news anchors ducked for cover during the so-called st. patrick's day shaker. >> earthquake. we're having an earthquake. >> reporter: so no wonder southern californians are on edge. still, this is l.a. so plenty of people tweeted about their earthquake experience, and, yes, some even took some not-so-steady selfies as the ground was shaking. seismologists aren't quite sure yet but worry this is the real

wakening of a fault line they haven't heard from in decades. this may well be the same fault that caused the whittier quake back in the 1980s that killed eight people and caused more than $350 million in damages. one reason, bianna, they certainly don't want to reawaken that fault, it runs right through downtown los angeles. >> yeah, the second largest city in the country. ryan, our thanks to you. well, we're going to turn now to the latest on the search for the missing malaysia airlines flight. chinese planes spotting three objects in the new search area overnight raising hopes that they could be from flight 370. abc's david wright is in perth, australia, with the latest. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. that's the latest of several objects spotted in the past 24 hours, promising signs, but we're still waiting for confirmation whether they are, indeed, debris from flight 370. australian maritime authorities have had very little to say today, clearly not wanting to raise people's hopes.

today a chinese search plane reported spotting three brightly colored objects. the colors, red, white and orange. out on the open water, cautious optimism among the searchers because of objects like this one spotted by some of the planes. >> very busy night. i would say the number of objects that we saw out there are certainly unusual. >> reporter: the spotters on board of the search planes have seen objects before but never have they managed to get clear pictures or have another plane find those same objects again. finally, the details seem to be lining up. >> ultimately we don't know if these are associated with the aircraft yet. we could be on to something here. >> reporter: in order to determine conclusively if any of this debris is from flight 370, a ship will have to retrieve it from the water. china's largest research vessel has been in the search area all day. five more ships should be arriving on the scene about now. the first one to spot anything significant friday, this new zealand p-3 orion. on friday, half the planes over the search grid spotted debris of some sort, the most promising day yet.

astonishingly, nearly three weeks after the crash, malaysian authorities said today they have not ruled out the possibility of finding survivors. >> no matter how remote, hope against hope that we will continue to find survivors. >> the search area now focused on a previously unsearched stretch of sea the size of virginia nearly 700 miles away from the location of those satellite photos they chased for most of the week. is it out there? we may know soon, but getting it back won't be easy. >> it's in a very rough part of the ocean. the sea state will always be very rough. >> reporter: it would truly be a miracle if they found survivors here. even once they confirm debris on the water may come from flight 370, there's still the job of finding the heavy wreckage lying on the ocean floor 12,000 feet down. it could be weeks or months before we retrieve those black boxes and finally get answers,

dan. >> if ever. so much work left to be done. david wright, thank you. let's bring in abc news aviation consultant colonel steve ganyard in washington. steve, good morning. i just can't get over the comments from the malaysian government official overnight about how they're continuing to search for survivors. he also said, miracles do happen. is this a responsible message to be sending given that they've already said that the plane is gone? >> dan, i don't think it is. i think it's an unfortunate comment. i think it's somebody who is thinking with their heart and not with their head, and it's just not fair to these families to continue to say that there's reason to hold out hope. we really know nothing more than we did in just days after the mishap. in essence, we're at day one on this search, but this is where people -- their emotions get the better of them. really the only thing they can do now is continue to search, put the emotions at bay and continue to use the scientific methods that they have and do their best to find something that will give us some answers about this mishap. >> steve ganyard, we appreciate

your analysis once again this morning and throughout this coverage. we do appreciate it. thank you. we will continue to cover flight 370 on our website all day long on abcnews.com. you can get the latest there any time. but there have been a lot of other stories developing overnight, and for that, as always, we turn to ron claiborne. good morning, sir. >> hi there, dan and bianna. good morning, everyone. we begin with in des moines, iowa, where there was a massive overnight blaze that destroyed a century-old iconic building. huge flames ripped through the former yonkers building, which is currently undergoing a $36 million renovation. part of the building collapsed, and smoke could be seen for miles. nearly the entire force of the des moines fire department was called to battle this blaze. no one was injured in the fire. investigators still trying to figure out the cause of that fire. and in washington state, searchers are still going through the massive debris from that horrific mudslide, but any hope of finding survivors is all but lost. the death toll is only expected to climb in coming days.

as of now, the remains of 17 people have been identified. 90 others, though, are still missing. officials say some of the victims may never be found. the hillside collapsed without warning exactly a week ago unleashing a wall of mud about 55 miles northeast of seattle. and russian president vladimir putin made a surprise phone call to president obama proposing diplomatic solutions to the crisis in ukraine. during a call late friday, both leaders agreed to have secretary of state john kerry and his russian counterpart meet and discuss proposals to defuse that situation. president obama urged putin to pull russian troops away from ukraine's eastern border. mr. obama took the call from a hotel in riyadh, saudi arabia, after wrapping up dinner with the ailing king abdullah where the two leaders discussed iran, syria and other security concerns. and take a look at this. looks like the earth just opened up in downtown detroit on the west side of that city creating a giant sinkhole. that's a pretty large sinkhole. a contractor was doing routine

maintenance when he noticed some erosion, and that's when the road slowly started opening up. the sinkhole is 30 feet wide and 16 feet deep. crews are checking for any possible gas leaks around that hole. and in brazil, some frightening moments as an avianca airlines passenger jet makes an emergency landing friday. none of the 49 passengers and crew members on board that flight, domestic flight were injured. local officials say the front landing gear did not lower as the jet made the approach for landing at the airport in brazil's capital. and finally, quite a rescue near tampa, florida. a bull, yes, that is a bull, that somehow got stuck in a pond, so a local deputy had to jump in the water and hold its head above the water while her partner kept a lookout for alligators. local fire crews arrived. they placed a harness around the animal and pulled it out safely. doesn't look too well there, but it was only exhaustion it was suffering and is expected to

make a full recovery at the bull hospital near tampa. >> oh, there is one? >> there is one. >> in florida? >> there's everything in florida. >> there's a hospital for everything in florida. >> bull. >> thanks, ron. >> oh, when ron invents the news, nothing is better. >> even better than real animals. >> he keeps us on our toes. thanks, ron. >> okay. we're going to turn now to new trouble for gm. it's adding nearly 1 million small cars to its ignition switch recall, which has been linked to at least a dozen deaths. and adding to the headache, the auto giant has suddenly stopped selling certain chevy cruze compact cars for no given reason at this point. abc's rebecca jarvis has more on this developing story include ing why it took more than ten years to implement the recall. >> reporter: this morning general motors expanding its ignition switch recall to an additional 971,000 cars from newer model years including 2008 to 2011 because the same faulty switches in older cars may have found their way into newer cars during repairs.

gm telling abc news there are no known deaths linked to this recall of newer vehicles, but they're not taking chances. >> we have work to do to improve our process, and we are dedicated to doing that. >> reporter: the expanded recall coming just days after ceo mary barra, who took over at gm in january, issued this apology to customers pledging to conduct her own investigation into why gm took more than a decade to recall 1.6 million cars linked to at least 12 deaths. >> and i can commit to you we will put all those processes and learnings in place to make sure this never happens again. >> reporter: separately, gm this morning also ordering its dealers to stop all sales of 2013 and 2014 chevy cruzes with 1.4 turbo engines but declining to say why only telling abc news, it's not an ignition issue. now congress and the federal government has launched investigations into gm's handling of the ignition recall and class action lawsuits are mounting. as gm faces claims it misled

some grieving family members about the potentially deadly flaw. >> they only told us that they found nothing. >> reporter: even though they are routine, clearly this stopped sale of chevy cruzes comes at a bad time for general motors, although some experts say it's a sign gm has learned to deal with its problems faster. dan, bianna. >> it's fair to say this new ceo's honeymoon period is over with the company. >> yes, absolutely. a tough one for gm and our thanks to rebecca jarvis this morning. now though to life imitating art. real-life politicians are playing hardball with the fictional politicians on the hit show "house of cards." this all started when the producers threatened to stop filming there in maryland if they didn't get millions of dollars in tax breaks. now they're fighting back and one of our ace political reporters, abc's jeff zeleny, is on the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. it is actually hard to tell if life is imitating art or art is imitating life, but in this drama real politicians are using tactics ripped right from the show's headlines.

>> there is but one rule, hunt or be hunted. >> reporter: threats. >> am i really the sort of enemy you want to make? >> reporter: blackmail. >> maybe there was foul play. >> reporter: and murder all playing out on the hit netflix show, "house of cards." but now another plot is unfolding. the show looks like washington but it's actually filmed in neighboring maryland. to attract "house of cards," the state handed out $26 million in tax breaks for the first two seasons. >> a trial is a lot like real estate. it's all about location, location, location. >> reporter: but now the show says it wants even more and is holding up production of season three. >> we just gave them a great gift. >> reporter: now "house of cards" is getting a dose of political reality. show executives threatening to pull out telling governor martin o'malley "we will have to break down our stage, sets and offices and set up in another state." maryland lawmakers are doing what kevin spacey's character frank underwood might do, playing hardball. >> certainly the idea of being

threatened by frank underwood seemed to prompt -- seemed to us to invite a frank underwood-style response. >> i may have pushed him too far, which is worrisome. friends make the worst enemies. >> reporter: they passed an amendment threatening to seize certain property of certain film production entities if they leave the state. in other words, if "house of cards" wants to leave maryland, the state wants to make it hurt. >> there are two kinds of pain, the sort of pain that makes you strong or useless pain. >> reporter: politicians are on the edge of their seats. >> come on in. >> reporter: and all those addicted "house of cards" fans wondering whether it will delay next season. now, a fight over tax breaks might not make the cut in the real show, but the question to all followers of "house of cards" including president obama who says it's his favorite, will season three be in jeopardy? that's the real question. which side is going to blink first? >> do we know? is this going to be a significant delay? >> spoiler alert, i can't tell you, but hollywood sources say they believe it will be filmed regardless of where it is, and it will look like washington. >> all right.

good press for the show either way. >> indeed. >> thank you, jeff. appreciate it. >> thank you, jeff. well, tonight's the night when the philadelphia 76ers can make dubious history. another loss for the team will give them the longest losing streak in the nba ever, but it's got some people wondering whether there's a method to their madness. could it all be part of a clever strategy? abc's ron claiborne is here to explain. not quite sure if i'm going to buy this but i'll listen. >> bianna, that is what a lot of people are wondering trying to make sense of the sixers' now epic losing streak. could the woebegotten sixers win in the long run by continuing to lose? >> and the sixers -- >> reporter: the spotlight is on the philadelphia 76ers for all the wrong reasons. >> carter-williams missing the three. pau missing the dunk and and now missing the bunny. >> reporter: the sixers now tied with the cleveland cavaliers for

the most consecutive losses in one season losing 26 games in a row. since they last claimed a win, the seattle seahawks took the super bowl, derek jeter announced his retirement, even the winter olympics have come and gone. on average they've lost by more than 17 points a game, one of the worst losing margins in nba history. if that's not bad enough, their shoes literally blow up on their feet. >> what happened there? he lost his sneaker. >> reporter: their disappointing run so amazing, even sparking conspiracy theories. >> there's no question that the 76ers are losing on purpose. they can't even deny that. >> reporter: the players and coaches say, not true. >> you know, we're itching to have that feeling of, you know, being a winner. >> we fight every night, and we're going to continue to do that. >> reporter: there is a potential silver lining. the nba team in last place gets a better shot at the first draft pick. >> we've been very transparent from day one that we're trying to grow something and rebuild something.

>> it may be small follow-up to the sixers, but even if they lose every game left this season, they won't come close to the worst season record of all time. their 15 wins are still better than the three that hold the record for fewest wins in one season, which is 8 and then they have a long way to go before they match caltech whose basketball team lost 228 games in a row. >> whoa! by the way, $5 to you for using the term woebegotten. >> ah, yes. you caught that one. >> right. four syllables. that's like three more than i usually see. >> incredible video of the shoe. >> yeah, it was. part of their misfortune. can't even keep their shoes on. >> yes. thanks, ron. we have an extremely amusing report from the front lines of a brand-new breakfast war that's broken out between taco bell and mcdonald's. the south of the border folks have launched a hilarious but kind of cutthroat salvo at the golden arches, and mcdonald's is now firing back, and abc's reena ninan has her flak jacket on and she's covering the whole thick. >> ready to go. some are calling this really a game changer in the breakfast world. for seven years, taco bell has been secretly testing a breakfast menu, and this morning

it's not just their breakfast tacos, but also their latest ad that many are devouring. >> he called the egg mcmuffin the what? >> reporter: the breakfast battle has officially begun. team one, ronald mcdonald. team two -- >> my name is ronald mcdonald. >> you're who? >> reporter: ronald mcdonald? an army of them drafted by taco bell. >> all: i'm ronald mcdonald, and i love taco bell's new breakfast. >> reporter: both vying for a bite of your breakfast buck. taco bell featuring this new ad with 25 men really named ronald mcdonald professing their love for the newly launched break breakfast menu. >> really good. >> this is taco bell's way of saying that there's a new breakfast player in town and there's no better way to do that than to go after the king of breakfast by market share, which is mcdonald's. >> reporter: in a defensive play, mcdonald's now announcing they'll offer a free small cup of coffee to customers for two weeks starting monday. taco bell's response telling abc

news, "we just launched the next generation of breakfast. it's not a two-week promotion. clearly our competition is taking notice and reacting." the golden arches also taking their fight to social media letting the dog out, barking back, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" and letting the world know that they are the original. ♪ we do it all for you >> reporter: if you think things are sizzling, experts say it's just warming up. >> it's really the first time that taco bell has ever gotten into breakfast, so they have to do it big and they said that this is their most extensive biggest marketing campaign in their 52-year history. mcdonald's is going to fight to keep its territory. >> reporter: and mcdonald's issuing us this statement, "we consulted with mayor mccheese, and he has confirmed that ronald mcdonald is back and still chooses mcdonald's." >> you know, but when ronald tried to co-op the chihuahua, i feel like that was a violation

of the geneva accord. totally inappropriate. >> well, no matter the outcome, the advertisers for both sides are the true winners. >> getting lots of buzz. >> very, very creative. thanks, reena. >> thanks, reena. all right. time for a check of the weather and we welcome meteorologist devon lucie from our washington, d.c. station wjla. good morning to you, devon. >> good morning there. thank you so much for having me in today. you know, we're really starting to get into this almost severe weather season, starting to see the changes coming our way and right into texas, we had baseball-sized hail. now, as those storms headed a little farther off to the east, we were talking about flooding. take a look at this video. as that went off, louisiana, alabama, even reports of maybe 2 to 3 inches of rain falling in some of those areas. you can see the flooding even over towards florida in some cases. we're also having to watch the potential for more flooding today, and this is going to come in toward the northeast as warm humid air starts to work a developing system from d.c. all the way into maine. we could be looking at between 2 to 3 inches of rain and compound that to flooding potentials for more melting going on, as well, from some of

the snow and ice that's been going on. severe potential also going on into the southeast today. that's the same storm as yesterday in texas, mainly wind and hail would be the main threat from tampa up to charleston today. hefty storms is what we'll have to watch for. >> they look like doughnut-size hail, not baseball size hail. >> making me really hungry. doughnut mcmuffin this morning. >> maybe a cronut. >> yeah.

they're accused of ripping off welfare while living a life of luxury filled with yachts and fancy homes, and now they're on the run. abc's ryan smith is here with the details. hey, ryan. >> reporter: hey, bianna, some of us dream of living high on the hog with lavish homes and fancy cars. well, according to minnesota officials, one couple ran an elaborate scheme to do just that and collect welfare and even food stamps at the same time. a self-proclaimed lord and lady on the run. according to them, he's an heir to scottish nobility. minnesota authorities accusing andrea and colin chisholm iii of defrauding the government by collecting over $167,000 in welfare, medical assistance, even food stamps, all the while allegedly living it up in this million dollar mansion. >> mr. and -- i'm sorry -- lord and lady chisholm iii are fraudsters of the first degree. >> reporter: investigators say a major scam rivaling that of the movie "american hustle."

>> lady edith, so good to see you. >> these are the roles that we were meant to play. >> reporter: their alleged web of deceit spanning some seven years across two states. according to this complaint filed with the court, first collecting from minnesota, then florida and for about a year receiving benefits from both states at the same time. in 2005 authorities say they started receiving public assistance after claiming they were living with andrea's mom in minneapolis. according to investigators, they were instead living on this $1.2 million yacht in florida. >> these rich folks ripped off the system. >> reporter: though the chisholms at one point claim they only had $80 to their name, the criminal complaint tallies up millions going into bank accounts and a spending habit that included $23,000 worth of plane tickets, cell phone bills and fine dining in just one month. >> this office is going to do every darn thing we can do to

make sure these people do hard time. >> reporter: the fraud charges typically carry probation as the sentence, but in a unique move, the state attorney is seeking an upward departure to get them jail time. as for their whereabouts, national warrants have been issued and police believe they have left the country and headed to, and this is a quote, someplace warm. >> on their yacht? >> on something. >> talk about brazen. >> exactly. >> thank you, ryan. >> sure thing. >> thanks, ryan. all right. time now for a check of the other top stories this morning. for that we'll turn to ron. hey, ron. >> hi again, bianna and dan. good morning, everyone. in the news we begin on the west coast where a 5.1 magnitude earthquake shook up residents of southern california. the quake was centered near los angeles, but the jolt was felt as far away as san diego. dozens of aftershocks were reported throughout the night. the quake caused a rock slide in carbon canyon in orange county. and overseas chinese planes spotting three objects in the new search area. they're raising hopes now that they could be those objects from malaysia flight 370.
