miles from miami to bermuda inside a bubble. he ignored the warnings of the coast guard. instead, asking for directions and had to be rescued. this morning he reveals why he did it. good morning, america. hope you had a good weekend. can you imagine that phone call? hey, guys, i'm in this bubble and i'm lost. >> are you kidding me? >> your tax dollars at work. >> a lot coming up this morning, including tim tebow is here for "motivate me monday." >> looking for to that. but we have a lot of news to get to this morning. beginning with ebola in america. that journalist back on u.s. soil this morning for emergency treatment as that man in dallas is in critical condition. cecilia vega is in dallas with the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: amy, good morning to you. thomas eric duncan has been in isolation for more than a week now. his condition is worsening.

this, as that american journ journalist infected in liberia has now touched down in the u.s. for that medical treatment he so desperately needs. just moments ago, free-lance american cameraman shoka mukpo, landed in nebraska. the 33 weird patient was carefully loaded on the ambulance and given a police escort to the hospital. meanwhile fears over this deadly disease, p mounting. >> we were getting about 50 calls per day before the initial patient was diagnosed here. it's up to about 800. >> reporter: as the first patient ever diagnosed in the u.s., thomas eric duncan, fights for his life. his conditioning worsening to critical. doctors say he's now on a ventilator and dialysis after kidney failure. >> this is very serious. we're taking it as such. >> reporter: doctors focusing on duncan's girlfriend and eight other high-risk patients who had direct contact with him. about 40 others are being

monitored for symptoms as well, including a homeless man who rode in an ambulance after duncan. police finally tracking him down sunday afternoon. this, after a weekend scare at newark's international airport on a united flight from brussels. teams in hazmat suits meeting a sick passenger from liberia on the runway. the man later found not to have the virus. a new reality for travelers in the fight to stop the spread of ebola. abc news learning overnight, the cdc is considering expanding airport screenings of passengers traveling from the hardest hit countries to possibly include taking their temperatures at quarantine stations to find infected flyers. that lack of an ebola vaccine has duncan's girlfriend concerned and angry, too. she told abc news by phone from quarantine that she feels duncan is not getting the same treatment that other infected americans have received.

george? >> a lot of anger there. dr. rich besser is here. doctor, let's start out with more on what the cdc is considering now, some kind of expanded screening? >> they're thinking about sending public health advisers to the airports that have quarantine stations. and doing additional screening of people who come in, people who come from that region. the challenge is there are no direct flights from that region to the united states. i flew from liberia, to brussels, to zurich, to the u.s. so it basically says i came from zurich. identifying them is hard and it wouldn't have picked up mr. duncan, because he didn't get sick until four days after he got here. >> you just got back from a week in liberia as you were saying. talk about the precautions you took while you were there. >> there were incredible precautions. the first time i shook a hand in ten days was when i arrived back in newark. you don't touch anyone while you're there. i wore a special suit in the ward doing the stories on people there. and even on the street, you avoid touching people.

and after every shot, it's washing with bleach. hands, feet, boots. to make sure that you don't pick up anything. >> and you're completely asymptomatic. completely safe for you to be here. >> that's right. i'm checking my temperature twice a day. i'm following all of the cdc guidelines. i'm in the lowest risk group. if i developed a fever, i would go get checked then. but even then, until you are sharing body fluids, you're not going to spread it to anyone. there's a comfort factor there, as well. >> please stand by. we want you the weigh in on the next story as well. to the other big health concern. the enterovirus outbreak. it is now in at least 43 states. for the first time, the disease is blamed directly for causing the death of a child in new jersey. another preschooler from the 4-year-old's class is being tested. linsey davis has the story. >> reporter: overnight, concerned parents desperate for answers from school and local officials. >> we need to know what we can do. >> reporter: this, as enterovirus d-68 is now being

blamed for the death of a new jersey preschool student, the first official fatality confirmed to be caused by the virus alone. >> i think it's just got everyone concerned, and i think we just need more information. >> reporter: officials say 4-year-old eli waller went to sleep the night of september 24th and never woke up. >> i think eli's case is the exception to the other cases around the country. he had no signs of illness that night. and his passing was sudden and shocking. >> reporter: eli, the youngest and only boy in a set of triplets. officials say his sisters appear to be okay. >> they're perfectly fine. they're perfectly healthy. >> reporter: and now more reason for concern. another preschooler at eli's school being tested for possible infection this morning. district officials say they're thoroughly cleaning all schools. they're advising people to remain home from school or work if they're sick. for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> thanks to lindsey for that.

doctor besser, back. so horrifying. no symptoms at all, and the little boy died. >> yeah. it's so scary when you hear a story like that and so sad for a child this age to be lost. the thing about the enterovirus infection, for most children, this is peers to be simply a cold. it appears like a common cold. there's probably hundreds of thousands of children who have had this. the kids at most risk are those with asthma respiratory problems because it can cause wheezing and breathing difficulty. if a child falls in that group, you want to make sure they get seen quickly. apart from hand washing, it's hard to prevent this. for most children, it's a mild disease. >> for most. only if your child has these underlying conditions should you be extra concerned. >> that's right. parents have to give themselves a break, as well. it's very hard to stop the transmission of cold viruses. each year, from enteroviruses, there are quite a few deaths. this one, there's been one death over the past two months. it's very sad, but it's not unexpected during this season.

>> dr. richard besser, thanks very much. >> you'll take questions all morning. reach him at his handle, dr. richard besser. >> all right. thank you. now to the war on isis. the american hostage being threatened right now. his parents making a plea to let him go. and releasing a letter he sent while in captivity. brian ross is here with the latest. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, amy. once again, an american family this morning is facing a grim reality. their son, peter, threatened with execution by a brutal group of terrorists who have never shown any mercy. his plight had been kept secret, until isis posted this video, saying the u.s. army veteran and indiana native would be executed next. >> dear son. >> reporter: his parents are making a heart felt plea that he be spared, revealing their son converted to islam willingly while being kept in captivity. >> our son is abdul rahman, formerly known as peter.

>> reporter: he was in syria to provide medical care for civilian, telling cnn two years ago, it was his life's work. >> we each get one life. that's it. we get one shot at this. >> reporter: overnight, his parents released a letter he sent to them while in captivity earlier this year. quote, if i do die, i figure at least you and i can seek refuge and comfort knowing that i went out as a result of trying to alleviate suffering and helping those in need. wearing a head scarf, his mother spoke directly to her son. >> most of all, know that we love you. and our hearts ache for you to be granted your freedom. so we can hug you again. >> reporter: the isis video is being analyzed frame by frame by u.s. and british authorities. the voice of the purported executioner sounds similar to the masked man in previous videos. >> it's only right we continue to strike the necks of your people. >> reporter: analysts are looking at the previous videos to see if the masked man is the same jihad john who was there

before. he's considered one of four british citizens recruited by isis and now carrying out torture and executions. u.s. authorities tell abc news this morning, they believe this latest video was made before u.s. air strikes. and despite their best efforts, they don't have any idea of the precise location of kassig and at least 14 other western hostages, including, amy, one young american woman. >> so many families so concerned at this morning, brian. any hope at all of a rescue mission possible in the future? >> the u.s. continues to look for any whiff of evidence to find those hostages. given that isis is in a heavily populated area, very difficult for the special forces to go in and try to rescue them again. >> brian ross, thanks very much. time now for the other top developing stories right now from "gma" weekend anchor, dan harris. good morning, dan. >> good morning, everybody. we're going to start with a developing story. 2 million people told to evacuate as a massive typhoon batters japan. the same storm that swept three

american airman out to sea near okinawa. heavy rain knocking out power to thousands of homes there. flights canceled and train service suspended. one u.s. serviceman is found dead. unfortunately the other two are missing right now. a big scare at jfk airport. two planes filled with passengers, colliding while taxiing. a delta connection jet from north carolina just arrived and a larger plane carrying 159 passengers from jordan. as you're about to hear, the pilots scrambled to figure out what happened. >> i think we just got hit by the royal jordanian aircraft. >> do you need assistance? >> no, we obviously felt the wing scrape. i mean, it just rattled the plane a little bit. >> can you inspect the aircraft please? >> the good news here, no one got hurt. one plane's wing appears to have

been dented from this picture. breaking news from the supreme court this morning. the justices rejected gay marriage appeals from five states trying to ban same-sex marriage, this immediately ends the delays on same-sex marriage. making same-sex marriage legal in 30 states. and look at this. a wild crash at a donut shop in los angeles. an suv barreling through the store, crushing chairs, tables, everything else in its path. one man was killed. four others were injured. police say the driver may have accidently hit the gas instead of the breake. incredible pictures. and brace yourself for this. a car crashing straight into the crowd at a street race in northern italy. incredibly, nobody got badly hurt here, although one person had to be taken to the hospital in shock. the driver lost control while speeding down a hill and missed that curve before overturning. he suffered only mild injuries. everybody else got out of the way just in time. and finally, you may have heard recently, that tom brady, the quarterback from my

hometown team, has been struggling just a little bit. many wondering if this could be the beginning of the end of a legendary career. so, before last night's game, the pastor at brady's home church in california, called for divine intervention. >> if i could ask for one more prayer tonight, i would ask for prayer for our fellow parishioner and dear friend, tom brady. he's got a big match tonight. he is struggling a little bit so he needs our prayer. >> we could all use a pastor like that. apparently it worked. brady and the patriots, exploding on the field, defeating the only undefeated team, the bengals. 43-17. brady became only the sixth player history to throw for 50,000 yards. now there is talk that brady, who is 37, could play into his 40s. we're told this morning that that priest is now fielding cash offers from the jets, the raiders, and the jaguars.

plus the human hamster guy who tried to walk in an inflatable bubble from america to bermuda. >> he probably had a direct line. >> this guy is like two miracles away from sainthood. >> he's going all in on this. >> i commit. that's the thing. >> okay, thank you. we're going to switch gears now. we have new details on the massive manhunt for the cop killer in the mountains of pennsylvania. police think they're closing in on eric frein. they think the survivalist is running out of food and supplies. linzie janis is on the scene. linzie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. hundreds of officers racing to the location of that possible sighting by a member of one of the search teams. it wasn't far from eric frein's own home. police say they are convinced they're wearing him down. this morning, newly obtained details about the night frein allegedly ambushed two state troopers. according to a police search warrant, he texted his best friend, justin smith, a fellow war re-enactor, just hours

before the attack, writing, stayed at your place last night. all is good. heading back to delaware. >> my name is eric frein. >> reporter: instead, police say frein headed to the blooming grove barracks, just a few miles away, killing one state trooper and injuring another. that was 23 days ago. authorities say he's been hiding out in the dense woods of pennsylvania's pocono mountains ever since. the surrounding communities in fear. >> he needs to eat. he needs to sleep. as the rain and things come in, he's going to need that shelter. >> reporter: this morning law enforcement hoping the colder weather and frein's dwindling food supplies will force him to surface. >> he's living off food he carried with him or cached in certain areas. and again, i believe that food is running out, and that we've seized a significant amount of that. >> reporter: police say he'll have to steal supplies in order the survive.

they expect he'll try to break into one of the many vacant homes and cabins in the area. another thing giving police hope this morning, this colder weather, the leaves are coming off the trees. that means those thermal cameras on the search helicopters become much, much more effective. amy? >> all right, linzie janis, thank you so much. to an unforgettable marriage proposal, but for all of the wrong reasons. a couple on a hot air balloon ride that went off course. leading to a dramatic rescue. and it was all caught on tape. aditi roy has the story. >> oh, my gosh. >> reporter: watch as this memorable excursion turns into a close call one couple will never forget. >> no, no. >> reporter: cameras capturing this hot air balloon's dramatic, emergency landing in, of all places, the ocean. the couple, along with the pilot, were out for a scenic ride in cardiff by the sea on sunday evening. the man on board took the opportunity to propose to his girlfriend. when authorities say the hot air balloon began experiencing
