good morning, america. breaking overnight, the fbi reveals the shocking case of a 16-year-old boy stowing away in the wheel well of a hawaiian airlines flight from california to hawaii. virtually impossible. no oxygen at high altitude, and temperatures well below zero. the boy claims he passed out. could his body have gone into hibernation? could this really happen? boston strong. 36,000 runners gathering at the starting line for the boston marathon at this hour. the most security ever seen along the route. we hear from the bombing survivors set to make the emotional journey one year later. caught on tape. these baggage handlers caught on a cell phone camera hurling luggage over stairs, dropping 20 feet into bins below. the video going viral right now
7:01 am
as flyers are furious. the epic prom-posal gone viral. miss america at a high school assembly. she turned him down and he got suspended. why she's speaking out defending him this morning. and good morning, to our viewers in the west. you're looking right now at the starting line of hopkinton, massachusetts. it started one minute ago, at 7:00 a.m. pacific, 10:00 eastern. >> the security will be tight. but he doesn't want the 26.2-mile route to be a militarized zone. >> and they're expecting so many more runners. 10,000, to be exact. more than last year on this
7:02 am
patriots day in boston. >> boston strong. let's get to the breaking story for our viewers in the west. a teenage boy stowed away in the wheel well to hawaii on sunday. is surviving that flight humanly possible? david kerley joins us with the latest. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is a long flight from california to hawaii and at high altitude. it's an unbelievable story almost of survival and a potentially terrifying breach of security. this morning, the fbi says a 16-year-old boy hitched a 2,300-mile ride across the pacific in the wheel well of a packed plane, despite a lack of oxygen at 38,000 feet and temperatures far below zero. >> the juvenile was approached by airline personnel and asked him what he was doing out on the apron. he wasn't too cooperative. >> reporter: overnight, the fbi telling abc news, security footage shows the boy hopping a fence at the san jose airport sunday morning.
7:03 am
they say he then hid in the unprotected, unpressurized wheel well of hawaiian airlines flight 45, passing out once the flight got to altitude because of a lack of oxygen. incredibly, they say he stayed there throughout the 5 1/2-hour flight and didn't come to until an hour after the plane landed at maui airport. they say ground crews called authorities when they saw the boy walking around on the tarmac. authorities say doctors checked him out and despite being subjected to temperatures 50 degrees below zero he appeared to be just fine. >> unless, this is a first in medical science and a first if physiology, somebody surviving a 35,000 or higher for 5 hours with no supplementary oxygen, i just don't believe it. >> reporter: according to the fbi, the boy emerged from the plane to a dumbfounded ground crew and at the maui airport has video of him crawling out of the left main gear area. >> i don't believe the kid was in the wheel well. that's all it comes down to. if he was there's only two ways he could have survived, that is
7:04 am
with some methodology of pressure breathing oxygen. and secondly he would have to have some sort of an exposure suit against minus degree fahrenheit temperatures. >> reporter: remarkably there is another way according to the faa which says there have been two cases in the past in which stowaways have survived high-altitude flights. the explanation, the lack of oxygen leads to a gradual unconsciousness. then the hypothermia from the cold temperatures preserves the nervous system. hibernation basically. it's amazing, george. >> i guess. okay, david. thanks very much. dr. richard besser is here. you're shaking your head in that explanation from the faa. >> basically at that altitude, there are two things that happen to your body, both of which are usually fatal. one is called hypoxia. at that high altitude, your body is not getting the oxygen it needs to survive. you pass out almost immediately and die within a few minutes. the other is hypothermia and we talk about it every winter. at that height, minus 50 degrees you'll freeze to death. >> for five hours. >> for five hours.
7:05 am
>> the chances someone could survive this? >> well, it's near impossible. but the faa reported on this before. and basically what david was talking about, this idea of hibernation. with hibernation, we see it in animals. breathing goes down to a couple times a minute, their heartbeat a couple times a minute. it's possible you slow down enough, your body doesn't need as much oxygen and you could survive but it's near impossible. it's almost miraculous and maybe as we're hearing maybe there's more to the story. >> there's got to be more to the story. okay, richard besser, thanks very much. now to the boston marathon. one year later. the city and many people there hoping that this race this year will help them move past the horrors of last year. security ramped up, as you can imagine. and police on high alert. local boston strong, dan harris is there at the starting line. i know you went there as a child and you're there again with us this morning. good morning, dan. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. from hopkinton, a little town
7:06 am
outside of boston, traditionally the start of the boston marathon. behind me, the runners have been taking off in waves for a little more than an hour now. this will continue for several more hours. the message we're hearing from so many people today is that this race is about showing the world, you can knock us down, but not for long. and they're off. the 118th boston marathon. a race dedicated to those who lost their lives in last year's bombing. and beneath it all, a feeling of resolve. >> it's a symbolic gesture that we're not going to cower to the specter of terrorism. >> reporter: last year trauma surgeon dr. david king ran the marathon then heard about the attacks and went straight to mass general hospital to treat the wounded. he is running again today. >> having such an intimate relationship and shared so many remarkable moments with my patients and not want to run for
7:07 am
them to celebrate their recovery, i can't imagine not doing it. >> reporter: there will be extraordinary security this year. in a show of both faith and defiance they're expecting a million spectators, double the average. there will also be 9,000 more runners than last year, for a total of 36,000, making this the second-largest race in the marathon's history. six mass general nurses all of whom treated victims are running this year, too, many of them for the first time. >> it's going to be very emotional. i mean, the emotions just of last week have, like, quadrupled. we're all really proud of each other for doing it. >> reporter: jeff bauman, who we all remember from this iconic picture in those horrible moments after he lost his legs and was rescued by a stranger in a cowboy hat, plans to spend this marathon monday with family. he is now walking on prosthetics. and his fiancee is expecting a baby.
7:08 am
>> i just treat every day like it's kind of like my last. and i try to do everything i can. >> reporter: it is hard to overstate the importance of the marathon to bostonians. as a little boy it went by my house. my dad ran it many times. last year the attack was an attack on all of us. as we said, security is going to be intense this year. but officials say they don't want to spoil one thing that so many people cherish about this race. that's the intimacy. anybody can walk up to pretty much any point in this 26.2-mile route. and see for themselves, with no ticket, one of the greatest sporting events on earth. robin, back to you. >> dan, thank you. now, more on the security around the marathon that you love so much. so many cameras set up. and police monitoring the crowd. abc's brian ross, with the latest on the security precautions being taken. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, robin. there will be more than
7:09 am
100 cameras all along the 26.2-mile route. and they will be monitored at a special underground high-tech center called the bunker. the goal, not to just produce evidence of what went wrong but to spot it before it can happen and stop it. there will be the seen and unseen, as well, as about i guess it's close to a thousand -- 4,000 police officers and 500 undercover plainclothes detectives. >> you talked to the police commissioner over the weekend. his main concern? >> reporter: a copycat. someone trying to repeat what happened last year. they're spending lots of money and putting lots of people on patrol to try to stop that. >> we saw what happened recently. thanks. the latest now on a major u.s. move against al qaeda. drones killing dozens of suspected militants in yemen just days after a top al qaeda leader publicly rallied his troops there. abc's chief global affairs correspondent, martha raddatz, is tracking it now. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. this was a big, well-orchestrated operation, covering three provinces in yemen and pounding an al qaeda training site. a yemeni official telling me this morning that more than 30 suspected al qaeda operatives were killed.
7:10 am
and that included in the dead may be a top-tier al qaeda leader. and they are waiting for confirmation of that now. this, as you said, follows the release of an al qaeda tape where the head of al qaeda on the arabian peninsula can be seen rallying those fighters. >> rallying those fighters, threatening to strike the united states. this is one of the most dangerous al qaeda affiliates. >> reporter: it is, george. the chairman of the homeland security committee calls this branch of al qaeda the greatest external threat to the homeland itself. almost every major attack or attempted attack emanated from this group in recent years, including the so-called underwear bomber, who attempted to bring down an airliner in 2009. >> i know there have been some reports of this operation may still ongoing. but your latest information, it's not? >> reporter: the latest information i have from the yemeni official said it is over. but you never know. if they find more targets this he'll go after them. >> okay. martha raddatz, thanks very much. >> all right, there, george. to the latest on the south korean ferry disaster.

those families. we'll bring in dan abrams with other developing top stories. good morning, dan. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with a terrifying end to an easter celebration in florida. a car crashing into a crowded church in ft. myers, slamming into a row of pews. but parishioners quickly jumped into action, grabbing a jack from another car and lifting the lexus to free several people trapped beneath it. 21 were injured but everyone survived. the driver says her brakes failed. meantime, an alleged drunk driver is blamed for this crash near los angeles. his suv drove straight through the bedroom of a sleeping teenager. the 16-year-old died instantly. vice president joe biden arrives in ukraine this morning amid rising tensions in the standoff with russia. ukrainian officials now say they have evidence that those armed men who seized control of government buildings in eastern ukraine are, indeed, russian troops. new claims this morning that syria's president, bashar al

7:15 am
>> reporter: air canada is apologizing, telling abc news the employees involved have been advised that their employment will be terminated pending the outcome of our investigation. but it's not the first time airport handlers have caught heat for mishandling. this video from last year shows packages careening off the conveyer belt while the handler takes a phone call. and in another video, one handler simply pushes all the luggage off the belt and on to the ground. but for anyone who is about to hit the skies, once you check it, they're basically free to chuck it. for "good morning america," rebecca jarvis, abc news, new york. >> yikes. this morning, former boxer rubin "hurricane" carter is being remembered for his fight for justice. in addition to his prowess in the ring, carter was wrongly convicted of 3 murders and spent 19 years in prison before being exonerated. he died after a long battle with prostate cancer. hurricane carter was 76. and finally, a new way to get your vegetables. well, not exactly. haagen-dazs is releasing

[ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to,
7:23 am
as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis.

8:16 am
wrote on her blog, telling fans she decided to come clean after receiving countless comments on her seemingly rapid weight loss after posting pictures from her concerts. i would come across comments about my weight and appearance, some were just plain mean and ignorant. i want to urge you all, never judge anyone. you never know what someone is going through. >> there are over 300,000 cases of lyme each year. and only 10% of those are picked up. as a result, many people go on towards late stage symptoms that could otherwise have been avoided. >> reporter: the singer says she's not sure where she contracted the disease. but early last spring she began to experience unusual reactions to food. she wrote, i kept eating a ton of protein and fat to try to keep weight on. but the weight kept falling off. at one point she writes her weight got so bad she decided to get botox to tighten her loosening skin, which resulted in a painful reaction. both the trauma of the needles and the toxin itself wreaked havoc on my physical and mental state, she wrote.
8:17 am
adding she felt extremely fragile as well as emotional and depressed. i could barely walk. i started feeling numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. gibson is not the first celebrity battle lyme disease publicly. earlier this year "real housewives of beverly hills" star yolanda foster revealed just how crippling the disease could be. >> i couldn't read or write or watch tv or do anything anymore. i'd get emotional just thinking about it. >> if you're one of those individuals with a severe debilitating form, you need to pursue treatment and seek second opinions. >> the scary part is the doctors said only 10% can be picked up by the current testing methods. so, you can watch your whole body change and have no idea what it is. >> so scary. >> very scary, and that weight loss, those pictures alone speak for themselves. >> right. >> but it's so true. you never know what somebody is going through. >> yeah. >> so reserve judgment. >> that's a good message for social media. >> it is. >> yeah. >> thanks, sara. >> thank you, sara. all right. now to a problem millions of new moms are often too embarrassed to talk about even with their
8:18 am
doctors. it is a loss of sexual desire after the baby comes. now, though, a new groundbreaking book out tomorrow called "love sex again." it aims to understand what is happening and what can be done to help. abc's abbie boudreau has the story. >> reporter: millions of mommies have lost interest in sex and need to get their mojo back. >> so many women come to me saying i'm their third, fourth, fifth opinion for a problem that has really been impacting on their relationship. >> reporter: in her new book, dr. lauren streicher gives us a glimpse of some of the medical conditions that are secretly sabotaging women between the sheets. it's something that babble.com blogger shawnie knows well. she's 27 and pregnant with her fourth child. the other three are under age 5. while she's happily married, she felt a strain on her sex life. >> pregnancy for me does not feel like a sexy time at all. it just feels like we need to get through these nine months and get this baby out. >> reporter: for shawnie it may
8:19 am
not just be exhaustion, but the pregnancy itself could be the cause of her declining libido. dr. streicher says a hormone called prolactin could be dousing the flame. other secret saboteurs -- diabetes, depression, even birth control pills could be playing a part. but surprisingly many women just live with bad sex instead of searching for an answer. >> they're just embarrassed to bring it up. and they also minimize the importance of it. you know, you go to your doctor once a year, and you think, this is not a subject that i should be spending my limited time talking about. >> reporter: for shawnie, realizing her loss of mojo is temporary has helped her get through it. >> these hormones of breast-feeding, it's not just me. it doesn't mean i don't think my husband is attractive or i don't love him. >> reporter: for "good morning america," abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles. >> all right, abbie. thank you. and joining us now is abc news senior medical contributor dr. jennifer ashton. so, in your practice, is it hard to get women to talk about it? are they readily sharing this?
8:20 am
>> they are readily sharing it, as long as they ask and that's the problem. so many health care providers don't bring it up. and that makes a woman all the more reluctant to bring it up. this is a massive problem. it's estimated that over 100 million american women are having problems in the bedroom. and for some reason we're okay watching a commercial with two bathtubs in a field. >> yeah. >> but we're not okay talking about this with women. and that's a big problem. >> it's a really good point there. so, what should women do? >> i think the first step is to stop comparing. and i mean stop comparing yourself to your friends because they're probably all lying. and also stop comparing yourself to yourself before you had a baby, when you were 20, when you were single. it's different. and that doesn't mean better, worse. it just means different. and then, the next thing i think is we need to speak up. we need to talk to doctors about
8:21 am
this. and we need to not be afraid to talk to our partners about issues. >> once you draw your patients out, what kind of specific advice do you give? >> you know, george, my job is relatively simple and that's first to exclude a medical cause for this problem. that can be the contributing factor in a large percentage of sexual problems. but after that, it's not so simple. it can be very complex. so, exclude medical first and then encourage them to seek professional help with a sex therapist if possible. >> how do you get the doctors to talk about it more? >> you know, they teach us this in medical school. but once you get that m.d. after your name, doctors don't want to bring it up, partially because they may feel uncomfortable. partially because it's not as easy as writing a prescription. and that's the problem. we like to feel like we're helping people. and when you can't do that so quickly, it's problematic. >> okay. jen ashton, thanks very much. >> read the book. >> i will. >> no, it's great. thank you. i'm so glad that we're talking about it. >> absolutely. >> really good stuff. we're going to move on now and get some insider tips on how to make sure your next trip to the nail salon and safe and clean.
