cold front stretching and bringing severe weather into the mid-atlantic today. if you're in orange, please take this one seriously, afternoon and evening as it moves east along the carolinas. it's not just riled up the old atmosphere as far as on top of our land, but also out in the ocean. the atlantic here. looking just north of puerto rico. hurricane gonzalo strengthening. should become a major hurricane, 3, 4. and by the time it hits bermuda, could still be a category 3. we're watching this one, and a potential hurricane in the pacific. i'll have more on that coming up. >> hurricane season far from over. thank you, ginger. now to ebola in this country. and we're learning new details this morning about the heroic nurse, nina pham, now fighting the deadly disease. tom llamas has the latest for us live in dallas. good morning, tom. >> reporter: good morning, robin. around dallas and the country, everyone is asking the same question, how did this nurse get ebola? health officials still don't know. but this morning, that nurse, nina pham, has a reason to be hopeful.

this as the cdc doubles the manpower at this hospital. this morning abc news learned that dallas nurse nina pham received a potentially life-saving blood transfusion from dr. kent brantly, the missionary doctor who contracted ebola and beat it two months ago flew into dallas on sunday, one day after pham tested positive for the virus. he donated his blood, packed with anti-bodies that should fight the disease. we spoke to members of her dallas parish, who said the 26-year-old in stable condition is in good spirits and has been able to speak with her mother via skype. >> everybody should ask god to help her get over this. >> reporter: the critical care nurse graduated from texas christian university in 2010. the a.p. now reporting she visited thomas eric duncan's room several times day from the moment he was placed in

but this morning, bentley is in a temporary home. he's being cared for by dallas animal services. it's unclear if pets can transmit ebola. but pham made it clear she didn't want anything to happen to her pet. now, dr. brantly also donated his blood to ashoka mukpo, and he's showing signs of improvement. he could not donate his blood to thomas eric duncan because duncan had a different blood type. george? >> okay, tom, thanks. as we said, fears are growing. our brand-new abc news/"washington most poll" showing 2 out of 3 americans now concerned about an epidemic. many worried they are personally at risk. jon karl with more from the white house. and these concerns blowing back on president obama. >> reporter: they are. the president is getting low marks from the public for his handling of the crisis. in our poll, only 41% approved of what he has done so far. and at the root of that low approval rating of how the president has handled this is this -- the public thinks more should be done.

fully 64% say that not enough is being done to prevent further ebola cases here in the united states. >> and you have seen calls from congress. senator john mccain calling for an ebola czar, and others calling for bans on travel. and the cdc is indicating that they're going to come out with some new measures. >> reporter: that's right. they say there was a breach in protocol. reviewing the protocols and how they're enforced and sending additional personnel to dallas. but, george, the president has a delicate balance here. the white house wants to reassure the public that the chances of an epidemic are extremely low but they are taking decisive action to prevent one from happening. >> you don't to want feed the anxiety, but you don't want to appear to be out of touch. thank you very much, jon. and now to the scare in the skies. a passenger plane making an emergency landing after the walls inside the cabin started to buckle and crack. shortly after takeoff in san francisco. abc's david kerley is at reagan national airport this morning. has the latest on all of that. good morning, david.

>> reporter: robin, it's one of those fears of flying. something is going wrong with the jetliner, and you don't know what it is. and in this case, the pilot wasn't sure. >> we had a problem on takeoff. with a pressurization problem. >> american 2293, are you declaring an emergency? >> just a precaution. we want to go back -- >> reporter: but inside the cabin of the american airlines 757, a bit of a panic as the actual insides of the jetliner were popping. >> there was a loud popping and banging from the outside of the plane in quick succession and working its way in. bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. then the interior panels buckled in. >> reporter: wall panels buckling, pulling apart. >> i wasn't sure we were going to make it. but a little prayer. we made it. >> reporter: some of the 184 passengers so concerned they called the crew to look. that's when the pilot decided to turn the dallas flight back to san francisco. >> it took a lot of convincing. these passengers basically said, no, you need to come over here and take a look at this.

>> reporter: turns out it was nothing to do with pressurization. the masks never deployed. it was an air duct running along the wall that blew, pushing the panels apart. but no one was sure of that up in the air. >> right now, everything is normal. if i see any problems with pressurization, whatever, we'll divert. >> we were so glad when they turned around and made an emergency landing. >> reporter: now american airlines calls this a cosmetic issue. it really was because the structure of the jetliner was solid. but that doesn't mean there weren't scary moments for the passengers who today will get to dallas. >> that would be a little frightening. to say the least. >> i wouldn't want to take any chances with that. >> why not, why not? just make sure, which they did. turn to the economy now. good news at the gas pump. prices in something of a freefall right now. below $3 a gallon in many parts of the country. rebecca jarvis is here to tell us what's going on. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: hi, george, good morning. this is good news for commuters and it all ties back to oil. we are producing the most oil we

have in the united states in 30 years and using less and less of it. that has sent oil prices plunging. wherever oil goes, gas prices follow. this morning, drivers doing double-takes. a gallon of gas at nearly a third of the stations across the country now less than $3. >> lowest we've had here in a long time. >> reporter: you tweeting us your own pictures at the pump. $2.99 in greensboro, north carolina. $2.87 in kansas city, missouri. and in greenville, michigan, some of the cheapest gas in the country, $2.55 a gallon. >> i don't even need to really get gas today. but at this price i can't pass it up. >> reporter: through the end of the year, americans saving a whopping $420 million each week on gas, compared to last year. and gas prices will keep falling. my sources say as much as 20 cents in the coming weeks. it's also good news for home heating costs.

families who heat their home with heating oil can expect to save $350 this winter, george. >> glad there's good news. on the other side, the markets have been in a bit of a free- fall as well, and that's hitting 401(k)s. >> this relates on some levels to oil. when oil prices go down, it tends to be the case that stock prices also follow. we can't help but recognize also the ebola scare is weighing on things. as is the fact that you have these protests going on in hong kong and issues with the global economy. that's weighing on things and creating some issues for everyone's 401(k) out there. we'll take the gas prices, good news. the stock prices, not so much. >> okay. rebecca jarvis, thanks very much. and to amy with the other top story. breaking news from indiana where a tour bus heading from atlanta to chicago crashed early this morning. the double-decker megabus flipped over on interstate 65. the driver had apparently swerved in the rain to avoid another accident.

watch as bystanders form a human chain to help pull them out. one bystander reportedly reviving a girl with cpr. >> if it wasn't for the two guys going out there to help to bring it in and those other three extending their arms, that girl would have surely died. >> reporter: the coast guard air-lifting the remaining five hikers from the rocks to the shore, one at a time. and not a moment too soon. rescuers say that between the rising tide and the high surf, if the group had been on the rocks much longer, they likely would have been swept out to sea. for "good morning america," reena ninan, abc news, new york. >> yeah. nothing better than seeing people come together. especially to save somebody's life. really amazing video. >> they did a great job there. boy, this is hitting so hard, ginger, all across the southeast. >> brand-new updates. more than 27,000 people this morning without power. that's just in georgia. look at the picture. you can get an idea of why. the power lines are down, trees are everywhere.

>> he was disappointed. i think he and sadie got robbed last week. not enough 10s. and he did a great job with bethany. and compared to the other dances, i think they should have gotten some 9s in the score. >> it was surprising. >> and things turned a little risque. janel, wow. >> she was so risque. it was the first time they ever did burlesque on the show. i was like, boy, i'm glad my boys weren't at the live show. but, you know, for that kind of number, you have to really go all out. and she did. but i think they could have left a little more to the imagination and had a little more fun and comedy in it. >> jessie j was one of the guest judges. she was on our show. she was so nice and friendly. you talked about the tough judges, how did you think she did? >> i loved her. she was fantastic. she was honest and had a humor about her that was cracking me up. and she was saying very critical things in the most lovely, fun way that she could.

days before her baby was born. and linsey davis is here with the story. >> reporter: good morning, not all that long ago, pregnant women were told to stay in bed and rest. some are bellying up to the bar to lift weights, specifically doing an intense workout called cross-fit. some call it the high-performance pregnancy that delivers a supercharged baby and a fit mom. but is it safe? these are the pictures that got everyone talking. a pregnant woman in her ninth month doing strenuous lifting, pushups, while standing on her head. all part of her grueling cross-fit workout. she started doing crossfit two years ago. and when she became pregnant with her second child, she didn't want to quit. >> my daughter always said being pregnant is not being sick. >> reporter: the only real change was dropping the amount of weight she lifted from 65

pounds to 50 pounds and maintaining that throughout the pregnancy. she says she worked closely with a trainer, and showed the doctor videos of the workout, she was safe to continue. >> for women at this level of physical fitness before pregnancy. they can listen to their bodies and safely continue to work out at that level throughout their entire pregnancy. under the supervision of their health provider. >> reporter: she suffered terrible morning sickness during her first pregnancy, but felt wonderful during this one and continued the crossfit routine until four days before she delivered. >> with this one, i didn't feel like i was pregnant. i was so normal. i mean, i did everything i always do. >> reporter: another benefit of her crossfit workouts, during the first pregnancy, she gained 30 pounds. average for a one-baby pregnancy. but this time, only 16. >> i'd like to say pregnancy is an athletic event. you have to train for it. it's very strenuous physically as well as emotionally. so i think the better shape a woman is going into her pregnancy, the better she'll feel. >> reporter: she says she's

finished having babies, but not finished with crossfit. she plans to be back at the routine in just a few weeks. >> i already have my girl and my boy. and if i have another baby, i would do it just the same way. >> reporter: and she delivered a healthy baby boy just two weeks ago. there are said to be health benefits for the babies and sometimes the labors of crossfit moms. >> i have to ask, are many of those workouts modified for pregnant women? >> some of them are. a lot of websites are dedicated to crossfit moms. pregnant burpees, use the walls instead of the floor. like many other things, doctors will tell you again and again, anything that you did before pregnancy, you can likely do it during pregnancy. it's about listening to your body. i tried doing crossfit while pregnant, not because i was doing it before, but my body said stop doing that. move away from the mat. this is not your thing. >> are you kidding, my body told me the same thing during pregnancy.

my father and mother had great style and still do. so many great pictures was travels. used it in every collection. >> reporter: and the book itself, from the women you profile to the places that inspire fashion. it's about inspiration. >> it is. but i just look at women as a whole. it's not really a specific woman. look at women globally. that's why our company is resonating. we're looking around the world for inspiration. here's the washes. >> reporter: beautiful. all the proceeds from the book go to the tory burch foundation. tell us about it. >> it's empowering women through mentorship. helping other women make their dreams come true. they get access to low-cost capital and mentorship. and i look at the challenges they faced. i see their tenacity, repaying the loans. they're a day-to-day inspiration into their lives, and i feel honored to be a part of it. >> reporter: i know that family

is very important to you. you have three boys, a set of identical twins, which i love. and you write about this, you still have not told your twins who's the older twin. >> no, you're right. >> reporter: why? >> best decision i have ever done. i always read about twins, they're competitive. everyone compares them, who's taller, smarter, older. i took that off the table. have them support each other. they do. they're best friends, include their little brother. i don't know if it's because of that, but helped. >> reporter: when they turn 21? >> i might make it 30. i love spending time with my boys. go to movies, play tennis, hang out and read. so for me, unwinding is crucial. when i get home, i really turn off work. so i work hard. i drop my children off in the morning. from 8:30 to 6:30@intense. >> she's ceo, chairman and designer of her own company. and she's taken one boutique on

is caused by people looking for parking. in a city

that's remarkable that so much energy is, is wasted. streetline has looked at the problem of parking, which has not been looked at for the last 30, 40 years. we wanted to rethink that whole industry, so we go and put out these sensors in each parking spot and then there's a mesh network that takes this information, sends it over the internet so you can go find exactly where those open parking spots are. the collaboration with citi was important for providing us the necessary financing; allow this small start up to go provide a service to municipalities. citi has been an incredible source of advice, how to engage with municipalities, how to structure deals, and as we think about internationally citi is there every step of the way. so the end result is you reduce congestion, you reduce pollution and you provide a service to merchants, and that certainly is huge.

and we're back now with the oscar buzz around "birdman." the movie stars michael keaton as a former movie star who was the super hero, birdman, trying to stage a comeback. but it's not going well. >> pretty much a train wreck. can't get through a performance without a raging fire. i'm broke. i'm not sleeping like, you know, at all. and this play kind of is

starting to feel like a major deformed version of myself that just keeps following me around. >> and michael keaton joins us. we had to bleep out just a little bit there. >> yeah. a lot more. >> this is a guy who's putting everything on the line. >> yeah. >> it's really starting to get to him. >> yeah. i would say that's a mild version of it. yeah. basically, this actor decides to mount a play based on the short story "what do we talk about when we talk about love." and has a breakdown. >> has a breakdown. coming back after being a big super hero star 20 years before. and the echoes with you are right up front. this guy plays birdman, and you played batman. >> yeah. >> you thought the director -- you asked him, are you making fun of me? >> yeah, i don't remember that part. alejandro's a good friend of mine. and i don't think he's a liar.

he probably doesn't remember me saying that. because we -- ironically spoke about that parallel very little. in -- >> so it didn't get in your way at all? >> no. because well it's like the elephant in the room. for me, just because probably i'm too lazy to do all that mental work, it was easier to just acknowledge it and then -- we had so much more work to do that it really never came up. it would have been a big, you know, kind of something that i would have had to focused on and there was so much other -- there were so many other things to focus on. approach it like i approach every role i have. >> it's such a funny pray alay you're great. everyone needs this show to work. >> most of them are not on the edge, right in the thick of desperation. when you fly into -- should i shut up?

>> there's ed norton. no, just talk over it. >> everyone is in this movie, in this play and in this satisfactory is right, everyone is wrong, everyone is healthy except for me, probably. everyone is unhealthy. and it addresses the human condition without -- and that's not an exaggeration or a high faluttin version. >> everybody's been there when they want something to work in the worst possible way. you know, in that shot, gave a little bit of a flavor of it as well. one of the most amazing things about this film, it looks like the entire movie was done in one shot. >> yeah. >> that must have been so hard to do. >> yeah. it basically was. the shots were long. and what happened -- you know, the question is why would you make a movie -- why would you even take this on? especially when you've posed that question to the director. that's a really good question to ask. because it's so extraordinarily

difficult. but once you see it, it's really the only way you could have made this movie. because it's as though when you -- at about a minute whatever, four, or seven, or whenever it hits you, you hear a door close behind you and now you're in and there's no turning back. you have seen it, you enter his mind and follow him through the story. that's probably the greatest piece of film making i've ever been involved with. >> and you did a great job. not going to jinx it. a lot of oscar buzz out there. thank you for coming. >> thank you. >> "birdman" opens nationwide on friday.
