crowds everywhere he goes. the polar prank that has everyone talking this morning. and good morning. a lot to get to this thursday morning including new details on that plane crash. remember we saw it clipping that bridge before going to the river. well some amazing and harrowing survival stories are emerging right now. >> every time still when you see that piece of video. we'll begin with that bitter cold moving across much of the country. temperatures in a freefall plunging more than 30 degrees. ginger is back and tracking it all for us. >> yeah, not bad out there right now along the east coast but let me tell you in a couple of hours things will bottom out. let me bring you to westchester where the front has made it and that's what's happening. so it's about to snow here. that's just north of new york city. and what we'll do is move that front through and then the

arctic blast settles in. chicago is already feeling it. 14 below the windchill this morning. 19 below for minneapolis. look at st. louis, they feel like 0, and louisville feels like 4. so earlier our high temperatures were made, 42, new york, boston was above freezing. but here we go. the old temperature tumble, the freefall into this, the windchill by tomorrow morning will be 4 below in new york city. it'll only feel like 6 in d.c. i have another storm to talk about coming up for the weekend and workweek. i know you can't wait to hear it. stay with us. >> okay, thank you, ginger. >> it's a good thing you're so cute. okay, guys, we're going to get the latest on that train crash that killed six people. when the rush hour commuter train slammed into an suv, we're learning more about the victims including the mother of three who was driving the suv and abc's linsey davis is on the scene in valhalla, new york. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, george. good news to pass along. the train's engineer is out of the hospital and already starting to see some morning commuters after working all night to remove the train and rebuild the tracks, the trains

are once again passing through this area. this is the woman, ellen brody from edgemont, new york, who was at the wheel of that suv, a mother of three children. the 49-year-old who friends describe as upbeat was returning home from a jewelry store in a nearby town when she ineksxplicably decided to drive her suv through the railroad tracks while warning sirens blared. >> i'm waiting for her to back up and she moved forward and she moved forward probably 15 feet right in front of the train. >> reporter: rick hope's car was directly behind brody's as the gate came down on top of brody's suv, hope saw her get out of her suv. >> she looked very calm and was taking what i thought was an awful long time because i'm thinking the clock is ticking. the lights are flashing. the gate is down. you don't have much time and i didn't know what to do. i indicated that i was backing up. she looked at me. i know she did. she just got in and all i can

imagine is she was trying to make it to the other side. >> reporter: but the oncoming train is barreling down the tracks at 58 miles an hour approaching the railroad crossing. just at that moment, the suv tries to cross, but the gate comes down stopping it. the train unable to slow down keeps coming. >> report of an explosion on the tracks. >> reporter: the train pushes her suv a thousand feet bursting into flames. take a closer look. that's the electrified third rail torn from the ground impaling the train. >> if we have somebody that's looking at the rail traffic signals, the highway traffic signals, as well as the crossing gates. >> multiple injuries. trying to extricate everybody down there. >> reporter: wabc learning that the train's engineer, 32-year-old steven smalls rescued several passengers from the burning train after the collision. this after he tried in vain to stop the train before it hit an suv on the tracks applying full brakes on all eight railcar ss

before declaring an emergency but it was too late. one major focus of the ntsb investigation is that third rail. it's constructed in a way that once it comes off the track, it should no longer be electrified. was that the case here? they're also going to be looking at the strength of the cars and why they were able to be penetrated. robin. >> linsey, thank you. now to that tragic plane crash. at least 31 people killed when a transasia plane went down just after takeoff. we're learning more this morning about what went wrong, and abc's david kerley is at miami international with the latest on that for us. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this morning the search is on for the missing 43 suspected to have died in this crash, but as you mentioned, we are learning more about what happened this morning. this morning, even more evidence of what happened at the terrifying end of this flight. these three dash cam shots of the dramatic crash

the black box information which should be released soon and now firsthand accounts. [ speaking a foreign language ] "i felt something was not right after the plane took off," this 72-year-old surviving passenger says. he told the woman next to him to hold on just as the plane went down. "i saw others were drowning. if i did not move quickly enough to help them, soon they would have been dead." this 2-year-old child survived and the parents as well with the mother calling out as the child is cradled by rescuers "don't be afraid, we're safe now." the fuselage was pulled from the river, but victims missing. hamish macdonald is on the scene. >> you can see part of the plane being dragged up now by the soldiers. the dive team is down by the water's edge and every now and again they bring up another chunk of the plane and they'll be here long into the night. >> reporter: it was just after takeoff that the pilot of the nearly brand-new turboprop plane radioed engine trouble. >> mayday, mayday, engine flame out. >> reporter: the video frame by

frame provides clues. steve ganyard is a former crash investigator. >> they're looking to try to clear the obstacles and not run into the apartment buildings. it is out of control and the crew can no longer hold it level. the right engine appears to still be spinning but the left appears to be feathered and a wing hit the taxi and bridge and shears off. >> reporter: we learned the pilot and co-pilot along with a third pilot in the cockpit are all among the dead. now, taipei's mayor is calling that pilot a hero. the data from the black boxes could confirm that, and the taiwanese are telling us we're going to get that information from the black boxes very soon. george. >> okay, david, thanks. we're going to move now to the war on isis. jordan, a key u.s. ally in the fight, is vowing to crush the terror group after its pilot was burned alive. so will this be the tipping point in the battle against radical islam. martha raddatz has the latest. martha, king abdullah and his country have been galvanized by this atrocity.

>> reporter: they truly have george. the king has been meeting this morning with the pilot's family paying his respects. the king has vowed that lieutenant kasasbeh's death, a man he called a martyred hero, will not be in vain and he is promising a harsh response, but we are learning this morning that jordan will be flying additional missions in syria and iraq to go after isis. jordanian state tv is now reporting that jordanian jets have just returned from a mission and that the fighter jets are flying low over amman and the pilot's hometown, but a u.s. official told abc news that while jordan has now galvanized around the king, there are fears in the coming weeks the support may waiver george. >> there had been wavering support of the u.s. ally and united arab emirates had suspended flights after that pilot was taken. >> reporter: that's right, george. the united arab emirates did

stop flying mission ss after he was captured feeling the rescued aircraft was too far away. that will be remedied soon with the u.s. now putting search and rescue in northern iraq, but the u.s. says that would not have helped kasasbeh because he had been seized so quickly by isis, george. >> okay. martha raddatz, thanks very much. now let's go to amy with today's other top stories. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with a massive data breach at one of the nation's biggest health insurers. overnight anthem confirming it was the victim of a cyberattack. the personal information of up to 80 million customers and employees compromised. abc's pierre thomas joins us now with all of the details. pierre, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, amy. this is a massive breach, one of the biggest ever affecting a health care company. and here's why millions of those anthem customers have good reason to be concerned. the hackers stole dates of birth, social security numbers, home addresses, details about employment, all the kinds of information that could be used in identity theft. law enforcement sources tell me once this data is stolen by hackers, they often sell it to criminals on the black market. there is a huge underground

market for exactly this kind of information so that criminals can assume the identities of innocent people, so now customers have to be on alert working with credit monitoring companies to make sure their personal information is not being used to steal. what a pain, amy. >> what a pain, indeed. pierre, thanks. now to a school shooting in maryland. two teenagers shot and wounded during a basketball game. it happened outside frederick high school while hundreds of students were attending the game inside. the sound of gunfire sent them running for cover. it's unclear what sparked the shooting. no arrests have been reported. a dramatic plane crash in lubbock, texas, a single engine plane was coming in for a landing when it sliced a television tower in half killing the pilot and knocking out power in the area. visibility does not appear to be a factor. a newly revealed pentagon report says that vladimir putin may suffer from asperger's syndrome, a form of autism. researchers who studied putin's

behavior and facial expressions believe he has the disorder which affects decision-making and could make him more defensive and reactive in large social settings. experts admit they cannot prove their theory without a brain scan. and a new concern for the economy this morning. dozens of ports from san diego to seattle could shut down as early as next week. now the long-running contract talks for the port workers have failed to result in a deal. a work stoppage could cost the economy $2 billion per day. a wild chase in fresno, this video from the highway patrol plane shows them trying to catch two men in a stolen truck. the driver speeds through neighborhoods before crashing into a fence and then both men take off on foot. eventually, as what usually happens, the police and a canine catch up to one of them tackling him. the other man trying to hide under a car, guess what, they found him too. both of them under arrest. and finally some dramatic video of an avalanche in the mountains of eastern europe. take a look as this snowboarder with a gopro camera on his

helmet. he's rolling down there. look at that. the snow rippling and then breaking up and then the avalanche. the camera catching it all. he's covered and thrown around but here's the best part, because there he is under the snow right there. look at the pictures of him afterwards, safe and smiling. that smile says relief like whew so we're glad he's all good and we got to see some incredible footage. >> thanks for that. >> and the camera stayed intact. >> yes, it did. >> wow. >> all right, amy, thank you. now to the growing measles outbreak. an alarming new report revealing dangerously high numbers of preschoolers are not vaccinated in 17 states. health officials say that puts all children at risk, and abc's dr. richard besser has the latest. good morning, rich. >> good morning, robin. you know there are now 102 cases of measles in 14 states, and the numbers in california are rising the most. some of those infections are even occurring in children whose parents tried to protect them by

getting them vaccinated on time. this morning, with fears over the measles outbreak growing, officials in los angeles county are calling for tougher laws to stop people from refusing to get the measles vaccine. >> i encourage everyone who is in a position to influence decisions about vaccination to review the evidence. >> reporter: 19 states still allow parents to opt out of vaccine requirements for philosophical reasons, and a new study finds that in 17 states, fewer than 90% of preschoolers get the measles vaccination. the numbers alarming, especially with 102 cases of measles across the u.s. california experiencing its largest measles outbreak in more than 15 years. in one confirmed case, an infant at a child care center at santa monica high school exposed dozens of other babies. now all are in quarantine. the superintendent of the school district warning in a letter wednesday when the center re-opens, all parents must show

proof of protection from the measles. >> the message is that vaccine is the best way to protect against the current outbreak. >> but in some cases even the vaccines may not be enough. 95% of children are protected by just one of the two recommended measles shots. but christie mullins fears her 16-month-old daughter emma may be infected despite already getting her first dose. >> she was really sick and had a fever of 102 and she doesn't get sick. >> reporter: doctors tested her for measles. the mullins nervously awaiting the results. >> and, rich, even if your child is vaccinated, you need to know what's going on in their school. >> you do. some data is a little frightening. schools where 30% to 40% of the children are not vaccinated against measles and that puts even those children who are vaccinated at some level of risk. >> when you look at the number, if you said 100 people, if they are vaccinated and are exposed to measles, only 1 out of the

100 who are vaccinated, but if 100 are not vaccinated -- >> 90. this is one of the best vaccines we have, so her story is rare. but there is some level of risk there. if you don't get vaccinated, 90 out of 100 will get it. if you're fully vaccinated 1 out of 100 will get it. >> that is startling and you'll be back on twitter again today. >> all morning answering your questions. >> all right, rich, thanks. >> you know, i'm going to take it from you. i'm going to take it from you, you know, because a lot of people out there doing like this with their eyes because we showed you that polar bear on the streets of london that have so many doing a double take and it looks so real but it's just a very life-like puppet and abc's lama hasan has more on why it's on the loose. >> reporter: in life you never know what's going to creep up on you, so what do you do when you come face-to-face with a terrifying eight-foot polar bear? hold on, folks. no need to panic. there is more to this ferocious predator than meets the eye. he may walk like a bear, even

talk like a bear, but ralph, yes, that's right, his name is ralph is actually two guys called tom and derek in a 44-pound fur coat. >> when i'm in there, when i'm doing little snips and snorts and things and sometimes i even breathe and grunt like a bear it's very undignified. >> reporter: with 19 people working for 2 months using foam latex and over 120 square feet of fur ralph was created by the uk network sky to promote its new arctic thriller called "fortitude" set to air in the u.s. >> we start with the concept which is two guys puppeteering a creature. >> reporter: and who doesn't love puppets from the stage show "war horse" to the super bowl. >> when you're making these things, you really don't know until at the end if it's going to work. >> reporter: now ralph has become something of a superstar himself attracting a curious crowd everywhere he goes. >> he's pretty much conquered the world already.

let's just keep going global. >> reporter: so, folks, lock your doors. ralph could be coming to a town near you. for "good morning america," lama hasan, abc news, london. >> polar bear, the perfect way to say welcome back, ginger, from your trip to iceland. the volcano looked amazing. how was it? >> we flew in on a chopper over it and we were close. i mean, i was like, wow, we are not in america when you can fly that close. and you could feel the heat when you were in the helicopter. suddenly you're above it, and you can feel that rush of heat. the lava was so beautiful, it was almost enchanting where you get lost or mesmerized by it. but i have to say a thank you to the team. i didn't get to do that. the people that made that happen, that's a miracle to be live over something like that. over the biggest glacier in iceland so the engineering team and everybody that worked on it forever, i just choppered in and did it. >> i asked you how cold was it there? >> it was zero when i was there but it was 15 to 20 below the day before. we had the best day out of all

of them. >> that's a good -- >> zero degrees is a good day in iceland. >> yes. >> we love ya. >> and you know what, we'll feel colder than that tomorrow morning so we have to get to some weather. how about we do the west coast. that rain so welcome. that atmospheric river is pouring into california, mostly northern, not the part that needs it as much. but still if you're in san francisco, you had the driestian if recorded history. you're saying, okay, i'll take an inch or so, maybe more. certainly up to crescent city, medford, you're in the 6 to 12 inches the next couple of days. you know who could break a record today, salt lake city at 65. that's some 25 degrees above average. all right. your local weather forecast.

miller in the movie isn't buying the insanity defense as she told our dallas station wfaa in december. >> yeah, somebody taking the lives of two people who were there to help them, that's not ptsd in my opinion. >> reporter: the jury selection process here will not be fast. it will take at least four days. right now opening statements scheduled for next wednesday. george. >> okay, ryan, thanks very much. we're going to move on to another trial now the murder trial of former nfl star aaron hernandez. the victim's girlfriend and mother delivered emotional testimony yesterday and abc's ryan smith has the latest. >> reporter: as his former teammates were celebrating their super bowl win with a victory parade, former patriots star aaron hernandez back in court on murder charges looking pensive during a day of emotionally charged testimony, ursula ward, the mother of odin lloyd, the man aaron hernandez is accused of murdering taking the stand for the prosecution. the judge telling her she must control her emotions as she was

here at the coast guard's training center in north carolina, they use a giant dunker to simulate plane crashes just like the transasia plane. the aircraft craning over, flipping and smashing into the water. it's like being inside a giant washing machine. but before i go under, here's what you can do before any flight even takes off. experts say choose an aisle seat within six rows of the emergency exit. statistics suggest this helps your chances of making it out safely. but if the plane actually crashes and it sinks, the coast guard says first grab a reference point like your chair and remove obstacles like armrests. only then should you unbuckle your seat belt and feel your way to a door or window. but watch when the jets turn on to simulate a storm. it's dark, i hold on to the seat, clear obstacles, unbuckle and head for the window. it's stuck. i struggle for 40 long seconds

>> reporter: it's the author's critical stance on his future role as king of england that prompted the response. responding to mayer's claim that his activist style may be at odds with his role to remain neutral like his mother. prince charles' chief of stas writes "his royal highness has always preferred not to comment but after half a century in public life few could be better placed to understand the necessary and proper limitations on the role." >> he knows what it takes to be king. he's done 60-odd years as prince of waste. he knows what's expected of him and he knows the limitations of the role. >> reporter: the controversy is about to go cross-continental.

is not under a life-threatening situation. it's a lighter show because of that. it's not -- there is a lot of talk about is it a comedy or a drama? it's a drama but it's just kind of -- you smile through the whole thing because even though i play the character and i take his situation very seriously when i'm playing it, when you watch it, it's so funny to see this guy just dig a hole and then dig a deeper hole, and so you're enjoying his pain. it's a lot of fun. >> well we're going to give you a little pain right now because it's throwback thursday. we're going to look back to what we think is your first appearance on national television. >> oh my god. >> "saturday night live." >> yeah, there it is. >> you were a writer for the show. >> yeah. me with a turtle with lorne michaels and, yeah, i wrote for "saturday night live" for four years. it was my first big job, and those kinds of parts are the hardest parts to do when you have one line, or you're supposed to just hold the turtle
