ballroom. tears as paralympian amy purdy wows the crowd once again and maks and meryl own the first 10 of the season. >> 10! >> and good morning, america. how much fun was it to see robin on "dancing with the stars" last night? >> so good. >> what a spectacular entrance of the now i told you guys she would dance a little bit. >> you're right. >> no question about that. >> and dance, she did. look at her. >> she told us that she was outside her comfort zone a little bit. she had an absolute blast. off the red-eye talking about how much fun she had last night. >> it was great to watch. could not take the smile off my face. she is on her way home. but let's do it, guys. whoo!

>> the scores. >> waiting for the judge to say so. >> sorry. >> you know what, you know where we're going with this. >> couldn't contain us. perfect 10s for you, robin. see you back here tomorrow. >> she'll be back tomorrow. right now a lot of news to get to this morning starting with the latest on flight 370. the air traffic control transcripts just released and abc's david kerley is tracking all the new details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. even more vessels in the search area this morning, still no wreckage. how little we know was highlighted by the head of this new search command as we finally more than three weeks later have the actual cockpit communication before 370 disappeared. as the search resumes this morning over then hundreds of square miles of ocean our look at the what the pilots said. it was the red-eye from kuala lumpur to beijing. at 12:40 in the morning, the jetliner is ready to go. from airport controllers, cle

cleared to for cakeoff. >> cleared for takeoff mas370. thank you, bye. once in the air the pilots are ready to connect with air traffic controllers. malaysian 370 is the call, controllers respond, malaysian 370, lumpur radar, good morning. climb flight level 250 and then to handoff to the next radar station. after that critical communication systems are shut down, the jet starts flying back over malaysia, makes more turns and heads south over the vast indian ocean. the man now heading the search highlighted what a daughtering task this is saying we are working with just fragments of facts. >> we don't know what altitude the aircraft was traveling at. we don't really know what speed it was going at. >> reporter: without debris it's nearly impossible to deploy those pinger listening devices with the batteries now running low on the pingers. without more clues we heard one of the more pessimistic

assessments of what is ahead for this mystery. >> i think if we don't find wreckage on the surface we are eventually going to have to probably in consultation with everybody who has a stake in this review what we do next. >> reporter: what does that mean? is there the will and the money to search such a huge area methodically and slowly with sonar and, george, they're not even sure this is the right area. >> oh, my goodness. okay, david, thanks very much. more now from aviation consultant stephen ganyard. let's talk about the transcripts first, not a lot surprising there. >> no, it's not surprising, george. these seemed like very normal air traffic control transcripts. i didn't see anything out of the usual. i think what does disturb me that it took so long to get this just basic fact out there. yesterday we also learned that it was three days last week that these international bodies were working in separate ideas on where this new search area is,

so we continue to see examples of poor coordination by the malaysians, poor conduct of this investigation. it's really disheartening. >> the question is, is it just incompetence or more at play here? >> you know, that's a real question. remember that malaysian airlines is an airline that is owned by the government and so there's a conflict of interest here. the government is investigating itself and this is a government that plays political hardball domestically on a regular basis so there's a question that needs to be asked. is this really just incompetence or political domestic skulduggery going on. >> more signs we may never know what happened. >> yeah, the time is clicking and you heard general houston say that time is running out. the u.s. navy yesterday warned us and said, look, this pinger locator we have, it only works within a mile, so if you look at that search area that david just pointed out, a mile. we have so much to cover that we just have to keep this in mind and manage our expectations of

ever finding anything. >> okay, steve ganyard, thanks very much. all right, george, moving on now to trouble for general motors, the company issuing another recall. this time on more than a million vehicles. this as the company's new ceo prepares to be questioned on capitol hill this morning over another recall. it's a defect that's linked to at least 13 deaths. abc's rebecca jarvis is in washington for us with the story. good morning to you, rebecca. >> reporter: lara, good morning to you. there was an emotional meeting here in washington, d.c. last night ahead of those hearings. ceo mary barra sitting down with the families who lost loved ones in gm crashes, those families telling me there wasn't a dry eye in the room including mary barra's. overnight gm's new ceo mary barra meeting privately with 12 families of crash victims in washington, d.c. >> this was the first time she apologized to us which was, you know, very heartfelt and that but on the other hand, you know, we've got such open wounds and

sores from, you know, losing loved ones. >> reporter: ken rymer lost his stepdaughter and randy rademaker lost his 15-year-old daughter amy lynn in this grisly crash in 2006 in a chevy cobalt with a faulty ignition. >> said she was sorry and we got a chance to talk to her and tell her about our children. >> reporter: spins barra took over gm recalled.6 million vehicles because their ignition switches could turn off unexpectedly and shutting down power and safety systems including the air bag. today she will face questions from congress about gm's handling of the recall and why it took more than a decade to issue despite new evidence showing gm and federal regulators knew about potential problems since 2002. and then there's this. iphone video capturing the horrifying moment this 2015 gmc

yukon caught five while this couple was test driving it with their two sons. >> from seeing the smoke to getting out, it was within a minute. that thing was already on fire when we were walking away. >> three similar incidents reported in the same model leading this emto recall nearly 500,000 suvs friday. when you account for that 1.3 million car recall that gm made just last night for steering wheel problems, gm so far this year has made over 6 million recalls, that's more than seven times the total number of recalls it did last year, later today mary barra expected to testify that today's gm will do the right thing, lara. >> all right, rebecca, wow. all eyes on that hearing and the white house, as well. >> that's right. we'll stay in washington. frantic final hours before the obamacare deadline. the lines long and the website overloaded but all signs point to an eye-popping surge in sign-ups for health insurance. jon karl has the latest from the white house. good morning. >> reporter: yes, the final

hours brought long lines all across the country of people waiting to sign up in person and record traffic on the health care.gov website. white house officials tell me despite last-minute glitches they expect the final sign-up figures will be over 7 million when all the numbers are added up. more than 7 million. george, that is an incredibly high number considering the disastrous launch of obamacare in the fall and you can expect the white house will declare a big victory today. >> no question about that. but there's a lot that number doesn't tell us. >> reporter: that's right. big unanswered questions to get to the heart of whether or not this law is going to work. one of the biggest is how many of those have signed up were previously uninsured. remember, this was about expanding insurance coverage. we don't know how many people signed up here. we don't know how many paid their premiums or the percentage of young people. all critical questions that will determine whether or not -- >> jon, remind people of the

penalty who don't get it. >> reporter: $95 per person or 1% of your salary. >> to amy with other top stories. we tay in washington, d.c. for breaking news. a massive fire burning there just outside the [. flames tearing through this apartment complex which was under construction, no one is believed to have been inside thankfully. no word yet on how that fire started. and now to the dramatic rescue on the high seas, a sailor falling overboard into the pacific struggling to stay above water for a terrifying 90 minutes in heavy surf. this is just west of san francisco. abc's gio benitez shows us the rescue all caught on tape. gio. >> reporter: he was just trying to change the sail but he fell off the boat. one of his crewmates recording every harrowing second. it was a perfect storm for disaster. in the middle of the cold north pacific with giant waves. 40-mile-per-hour winds and a relentless hailstorm.

a sailor washed overboard. his safety cord snapped and his crewmates desperate. >> mayday, mayday, mayday. we have a man overboard. >> reporter: but the mayday call was useless. the team in the middle of a yacht race from china to california was 2500 miles from san francisco. 46-year-old andrew taylor who had been knocked overboard by a giant wave can now be seen battling to keep his head above water. as his crewmates fight to maneuver the boat closer to taylor, the waves push him further away. finally, an hour and a half into the ordeal, the dramatic rescue. taylor is pulled out of the water. >> i didn't know if you were looking for me or not. i didn't know if you had seen me. >> reporter: it turns out they never took their eyes off him.

and crew members tell us he was suffering from shock and mild hypothermia but that he's in good spirits and doing well this morning. amy. >> we are certainly happy to hear that, gio, thank you so much. another rescue to show you this one on the road. an suv bursting into flames after a crash here in new york. a responding officer used his fire extinguisher to break the window, pull the driver out, he is okay this morning. and passengers on a flight from london are describing this moment caught on camera. look at that. their klm airlines flight was struck by lightning, not once, not twice but three times, they say it sounded like an engine had blown up but the pilot landed safely. workers have found more victims from the mudslide in washington state. the death toll is at 24. but the number of missing has fallen to 22. the governor there asking for federal aid with damage now topping $10 million. and a notorious spy serving a life sentence could be freed. jonathan pollard was convicted of passing secrets to israel but

now the obama administration is considering releases him to salvage mideast peace talks. finally a real estate record, a mansion on the west side of l.a. just sold for $102 million. the 50,000 square feet include 12 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a pool and spa to boot. three billionaires got into a bidding war for the home which was built by socialite suzanne saperstein. this is an all cash deal, by the way, only a record for southern california because there was $117 million one sold in silicon valley so 102 million, peanuts. >> billionaires at play. >> a bidding war. >> slightly bigger than my apartment. >> unbelievable. all right, amy, thank you. we turn now to a health emergency that's hitting both coasts. a measles outbreak in orange county, california, officials

are saying that the outbreak is the worst that they've seen in two decades and the main reason is that more and more parents are choosing not to get their kids vaccinated. abc's abbie boudreau has the story. >> reporter: steve and victoria are part of a small but growing minority. parents who choose not to vaccinate their children calling it a personal choice. >> we told them no vaccinations right off the bat. >> reporter: the couple and their 2-year-old twin daughters live in orange county, california, where there are 21 confirmed cases of measles so far this year. that's more than the number of total cases just four for all of california this time last year. and this year authorities already confirmed 49 measles cases throughout the state and in 14 of those, the patients were intentionally not vaccinated. >> this is a preventable disease. if children get it, it's serious. >> reporter: california is one of several states that allows parents to turn down vaks nations for personal beliefs. >> fewer people that are

vaccinated, the more likely the disease will spread. >> reporter: the couple say they will eventually get their daughters vaccinated but not until they're older and stronger. and say they feel the measles outbreak in california is being overblown. >> we feel that we're making these decisions on our own and we'll take responsibility for them. >> reporter: for "good morning america," abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles. >> and we want to bring in our chief health and medical editor dr. richard besser and, dr. besser, what do you make of this measles outbreak. >> well, you know, what it says is that even though we eliminated measles in this country decades ago we're still at risk and there are 20 million cases around the globe every year so every time we travel there's risk. every time someone comes here there's risk and i worry parents who delay or don't vaccinate their kids put their children at risk but everyone else, as well. >> parents are delaying or not getting these vaccines but isn't this a personal decision. >> you know, they're delaying for a number of reasons. some are delaying because they think there are too many

vaccines. some don't believe in vaccination or that there's risk from december and others are still concerned about autism, even though scientists have disproven that and the damage from celebrities who push that theory just continues today. but in terms of personal decision, when you vaccinate you protect your own child but you also protect children under 1 who can't get vaccinated yet. people with cancer who are at risk and then people who are vaccinated where the vaccine didn't take hold so it's more than a personal decision. >> all right, so dr. b., what's the takeaway? what do parents need to know? >> i think they need to understand that measles is serious, that there's still a risk and if their children haven't had two vaccines yet they should get them. get the shot. >> dr. richard besser, we thank you. >> important warning there. switching gears now and i love this next story, it's about a young man who may well be the most wanted high school student in america in the best possible way. he's trying to decide where to go to college and every single ivy league cool wants him. abc's john muller has the story. >> reporter: high school seniors

are deciding where to go to college this fall. one incredibly talented new york 17-year-old has the decision of a lifetime. which one of the ivy league colleges should he go to because he got into all eight. >> i simply thought i would apply, i applied to all eight. >> reporter: harvard, brown, princeton, columbia, all of the very prestigious ivy league schools are vying for quasi-evenen of long island, an academic jackpot. >> when he told me he would apply to all eight my head was spinning. he's just that quality kid. >> reporter: he scored a near perfect 2250 on the s.a.t. out of 2400 en5 is in the top 2% of his class. only 5.9% of over 35,000 students that apply to harvard actually get in. 7% to yale. so it's extremely rare to get into all of them. >> appreciation and thankfulness for everyone who helped you and all your teachers are helping with your grades and whatnot all the way down to your counselor and then lastly, of course, your family, parents for all the

support they do. >> reporter: the ambitious senior is a violinist who plans to study medicine as did both of his parents. where will he go this fall? >> my preference is yale. the student body, all the kind of things i want in a college are hard to compare all these wonderful schools. >> it is the kind of problem every college kid and their parents would love to have. w he says financial aid packages will be a big part and duke university, he got into those too. when duke university is your fallback. >> a bidding war between those schools. >> now he's famous too, there you go. >> a great story. thank you, john. the weather from ginger. >> harvard and penn for years and years. that was the decline i got. thank you, valparaiso for letting me study meteorology. five-foot drifts in parts of minnesota at the same time and not that far away.

♪ ♪ ♪ so when my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis them. was also on display, i'd had it. i finally had a serious talk with my dermatologist. this time, he prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma,

looking forward to seeing what happened there. also ahead, one of the greatest biblical mysteries of all time, the search for the holy grail. why experts now say they've found it. i love that. i wish i would have -- >> da, da, da. can't wait for that. more parents are bringing their kids to the office not just for bring your kids to the office day but we're talking all day every day, not dropping them off at day care. why they say this is actually good, for not only the child but business. >> a lot more about that. right now we'll begin with a sensational murder trial in phoenix. it's being cared composite the jodi arias case. a mother of three accused of bludgeoning her husband to death and claiming domestic abuse. abc's ryan smith is tracking this case. >> reporter: today in arizona, in the same courthouse where the closely watched jodi arias murder trial unfolded, a jury is now mulling the case of another young woman with eerily similar circumstances. >> and so how many times do you think you hit him?

>> i don't know. >> reporter: that's 36-year-old marissa ya dubois, accused of using a hammer to kill her husband while he slept in january 2009 and pleaded not guilty claiming self-defense claiming abuse from him. almost the same from jodi arias convicted last year for brutally killing her longtime lover travis alexander. >> the simple answer he attacked me and i defended myself. >> reporter: prosecutors are painting devault as a cold calculated killer pointing to her interrogation tape made hours after the killing where she's seen laughing awkwardly about the events of that night. >> i just hit him. >> reporter: and to pictures like these perfectly manicured nails and light bruising show little evidence of a struggle. prosecutors say her motive was life insurance money to pay back her alleged sugar daddy from

whom she borrowed around $300,000. now her fate is in the hands of the jury and just like jodi arias who she reportedly befriended in jail she could face the death penalty if convicted. for "good morning america," ryan smith, abc news, new york. >> all right, so let's bring in our chief legal affairs anchor dan abrams for more on this and the defense seems to be relying on solely on claims of domestic abuse, a lot of evidence says otherwise. don't you think, her story has changed. there's stories of looking for an insurance policy. >> not a particularly strong defense. the best defense she's had so far with regard to abuse has been from other own daughter testifying that she heard it, that she actually was standing right jo out side the room as it was happening on a regular basis but, remember, the defense here is self-defense. so she still has to demonstrate in some way, i mean or at least the prosecution still has the burden of proof but when it comes to self-defense, you've

got to present something. you got to say there was something that happened. >> wasn't he sleeping? >> yeah, well, that's the issue, right? so that's what the prosecution says. so this is a harder defense than just to say, oh, she is presenting evidence of abuse and, therefore, that's the defense. it's really not enough. she's got to be able to say that he was in the act of attacking her and that she needed to do what she did. >> yeah. there's a lot of comparisons between this case and the jodi arias case and it's a strange twist of fate, you must admit, these women have become friends. >> amazing and the cases are very similar in terms of the defense, in terms of the lack of evidence of abuse. here at least she has a witness, her daughter. in the jodi arias case there was not a single witness apart from jodi arias herself who was claiming the abuse. but, and, again, i would argue that in this case like in the jodi arias case, if there were a conviction on second degree murder, it would be a win for

the defendant. i think her attorney is hoping not that he's going to actually get a not guilty verdict here. i think he's hoping for a second degree murder conviction and that would be a win >> all right, dan, i know you'll be watching this for us. thank you so much. george. >> we turn now to a newly released 911 tape from ha while case in new mexico when a state trooper fired on a minivan driven by a mom and her five kids. an exclusive look at what was going on inside the car from ryan owens. >> where are you at? where are you at? >> reporter: they are the sounds of sheer terror heard for the first time in an abc news exclusive. >> they're chasing us. they're starting to kill us. >> okay, i cannot understand you, hon. calm down. >> reporter: voices from inside the minivan full of five children, new mexico police were chasing back in october of. >> get out of the vehicle right now. >> reporter: officers say the driver, their mom our rihanna kept fleeing when when they

stopped her for speeding. >> you're where? >> reporter: the traffic stop escalated fast. police say her 14-year-old son scuffled with them and that they had to bash in the minivan's tinted windows just to see what was going on inside. when farrell took off yet again veteran officer alias montoya fired three shots at the minivan. in an exclusive interview he told me those tinted windows prevented him from seeing any kids inside. when you found out that there were, in fact, children in that minivan, what did you think? >> my heart sank. i couldn't believe there was that many children in there. >> reporter: montoya was fired but recently reached a settlement with state police. as for farrell she's charged with child abuse and fleeing from officers. she's pleaded not guilty and says she ran from cops to

protect her children. her trial is scheduled for later this year and this 911 tape -- >> they're chasing us. >> reporter: is expected to be a key piece of evidence. for "good morning america," ryan owens, abc news, los angeles. >> a key piece of evidence. thanks for that. the weather from ginger. i like that headline over there. >> yeah, warmer weather. did you see -- so did you go outside yesterday, lara. >> i did. >> yes. >> that was it. it was the sunshine, it was the warmth and what we're waking up to in the mid-atlantic this. is washington, d.c. and the cherry blossoms -- >> i saw them? we are waiting for the little buds. >> they were there. >> you can see closely enough. but they are all going to come out by next week. it looks like that's the date they had forecast and nice temperatures. 83 for dallas, 77 memphis, 61 st. louis.

russian defector fighting evil alongside a superhero who's been at it since his comic book debut back in 1941. "captain america" is to me the very old-fashioned superhero. constantly going to have to collect his shield from where he's thrown it. >> got to get a better system for that. >> reporter: they won't because marvel studios always stays true to the comics, very true and that's a large part of the charm. i enjoyed it and i'm not a colic book guy. >> i'm also not a comic book gal. i grew up on on not comics and easily confused by anything. any twist a plot and i didn't see "the sixth sense," i didn't see that ending coming. everything is a big shocker to me. >> reporter: i tell you there's something for everyone. action, quips. >> how do we know the good bguy from bad guys. >> if they're shooting at you they're bad. >> reporter: personal communication, not a lot of love

♪ go he is the co-founder of twitter and the ceo of the brand-new company jelly. it is so great to have biz stone with us this morning. a brand-new book out called "things a little bird told me." welcome, biz. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> you have an enormous rags to riches story. when you were first working with google you couldn't afford a mattress to sleep on. people were passing around a coffee can to give you money. how does that impact your success and how you live your life? >> it just takes away so much anxiety. i mean that's really -- the biggest change for me and having money now is it just takes away the anxiety i've lived with all

my life, you know, being a kid, you know, being on welfare and then just being in debt my whole adult life and now finally just being sort of free of that. it's just incredible. >> thank goodness you have that little bird talking to you. >> exactly. exactly. >> tell us what the bird told you. this is a journey about how you got to where you are. >> this book basically i started a lecture about a decade ago at oxford university that i was invited to give it to a lot of other places and found it resonated with everyone from high school students all the way to ceos and they would come up to me and tell me that so when someone proposed i turn it into a book i thought, well, yeah, that's a great idea. >> there are significant lessons in there and there's so many interesting factoids about twitter. i love the fact that twitter could have been named a myriad of other names such as jitter, flitter -- how did you come up with a name. >> we had a hat with names in it and a thesaurus, something suggestive of urgency because it

was all about the mobile phone and texting and when twitter was thrown out there, i knew instantly because my wife is a big naturalist and lover of animals that twitter meant short trivial bursts of information like birds and the second definition, laughter and i thought perfect. >> perfect and it took off from there. 140 characters or less changing how we communicate today and we thought it was so appropriate given you are one of the founders of twitter that we would take some questions on twitter from some of your fans. how about that. >> great. >> we'll move over. this is the social scare so we're mobile and i love this vegas jackpot thing. >> all right. do we win anything? >> i asked that but -- if you could do something differently when you guys started building twitter, what would it be from assad. >> if i could go back in time -- there's a difference between going back in time and doing it now. the true answer, i wouldn't do anything differently because it turned out great. >> it worked.

>> so that's my honest answer. >> okay, we have one more. let's -- there it goes. we got it. and the question is, what was the defining moment when you knew twitter was a huge success/source/tool for connecting? >> the big thing was march 2007 in austin, it can, with we first saw twitter in the wild and a guy tweeted a bar was too loud so let's go to this other bar and eight mens it took him to go to the other bar it filled to capacity. this was just a party but what if it had been a serious situation. this was like realtime -- >> yeah and you have a new one. this is jelly. the new baby. >> tell me what jelly is. >> my co-founder ben and i realized that no one has completely reimaged the way we get answers to questions in the past 15 years so -- >> we designed a better way to afghanistan a question with using maps, using photos, using people from your social network because we're all connected now.

this is an example. i asked -- i had to get up early to do the show. where is the good place to get a strong espresso and somebody answered the question. they answered my question and state cafe grumpy and put a p.i.n. for me. >> and guess what they delivered. >> pie face was the other one. pie face. >> things a little bird told me. you don't want to miss it in stores now and we'll be right back. thank you.

"good morning america" is brought to you by hotels.com, the obvious choice for hotels. >> okay, guy, i'm just going to say it now, april fools. >> we a're so shocked. >> our friends at twitter helped moo he out and said we can give you a prototype. >> way to go, biz stone. >> big shout-out to dan + shay. their new album is out and we will see it tomorrow.

good morning. i'm kristen sze. the oakland a's are looking to bounce back from last night's season opening loss when they take on the cleveland indians at the coliseum again tonight. meteorologist mike nicco has game time forecast. >> better chance of rain tonight than last night. mid-50s dropping into upper 40s. light showers from palo alto to fremont, newark and millipedes. we've got a thunderstorm south of odega bay heading up towards santa rosa. more showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. if you have a flight to catch at sfo you'll run into southbound 101 in san bruno. one lane blocked out there northbound traffic a little
