will she be forced to return to italy? and swallowed whole. take a look at this. dramatic video of this bus falling into a massive sinkhole. how everyone managed to get out safely before it floated away down the river. and we do say good morning, america. and it's good to have david and t.j. with us on this wednesday morning. a lot of new developments this morning in that midair mystery. that's a look at the debris field on the mountain in the french alps where that plane carrying 150 people went down. the wreckage, as you can imagine, scattered over a wide area. >> stunning, robin, how little is left of that plane. this is a live shot this morning of the staging area where helicopters are taking off right now to go to the crash site and, of course, where the bodies will be brought back. and we are learning more about

the passengers on board the flight including the 16 students from one high school class. we have full team coverage this morning and abc's terry moran starts us off at that school in germany. terry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, david. there's word now that two americans were onboard flight 9525. among the 150 killed in this crash. this high school, the ground 150e row of grief here in germany, those 16 students and two teachers. all morning students coming out to gather at this makeshift memorial. this morning, a fleet of helicopters arrived at the staging area near the crash site in france. recovery efforts resuming under overcast skies and near freezing temperatures. the black box recovered yesterday on the mountain damaged but investigators confident they can still reconstruct its crucial data. the germanwings airbus a320 was on route from barcelona to dusseldorf in germany when suddenly, after reaching 38,000 feet, the plane began a rapid descent plugging 32,000 feet in

eight minutes before losing contact with air traffic control. on board 150 people, 144 passengers including 2 babies, 6 crew. the debris field just shards and bits and pieces along the rugged ridges. there, some windows. the first priority to locate the bodies of the dead and that second black box. the leaders of france, spain and germany are here today to lead their nations in mourning and bereaved families are coming too. those who can, those who feel the need to be here. did shock of this tragedy affecting flights today. refusing to fly citing personal reasons for pilots. >> prepared for the flights told us they felt unfit to fly. so personal decision. >> reporter: no word is the grief sharpe than here in halter.

16 tenth graders and two teachers returning from an exciting week on a spanish language exchange program all lost. at the high school, kids some in tears came for a day of mourning. each class filing out to the makeshift memorial, and in this small town everyone, it seems knew someone who was on that plane. ina teaches violin. one of your students died? >> yes, yes. linda, she's 15 1/2-year-old. i don't know -- i cannot -- i can't realize it. it's so, so, so sad. >> reporter: their sign says yesterday we were many. today we are alone. you get a sense of the depth of the devastation and grief here and in so many places across germany and spain and elsewhere. david? >> all right, terry, thank you. and as you mentioned in your report one of the black boxes has been recovered and is being examined now. investigators are trying to piece together what went wrong and abc's david kerley is here with that part of the story. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. such a mystery this morning. what happened to this jetliner?

well, the answers are here in this debris field and the searchers are looking through these pieces of plane that remain for that second black box. puzzling, a jet at the safest part of flight starts diving, what happened in those moments, why didn't the pilots ever radio trouble or a mayday? from its barcelona takeoff to 38,000 feet, nearly 45 minutes into the flight, everything is normal but just one minute later, with no notification to air traffic control, the jetliner starts losing altitude quickly, nose down, 1 1/2 to 2 times faster than normal for eight minutes, down to a little more than 6,000 feet, radar contact lost as the jet slams into the mountainside. >> it definitely looks like an emergency descent for unknown reasons. but beyond that we don't know. >> reporter: even more mysterious, the day before, the jet had a maintenance check. lufthansa, the parent company, says the 24-year-old jet was well maintained. the pilot with the airline for 14 years, thousands of hours in

the air, and the a320 is known as a reliable workhorse with more than 6,000 of them in service worldwide. so what could have happened in that moment that the jet reached cruising altitude? >> it means something very quickly catastrophic was going on. we don't know the buildup to that. things that come to mind to me are rapid decompression for some reason or fire on board. >> reporter: in a rapid decompression there is a lack of oxygen, the pilots could have become incapacitated. smoke in the cockpit, that makes it difficult to see or operate and the crew could have been overcome by smoke. a third possibility, the pilots are trying to deal with such a problem followed emergency procedures to lose altitude and worked that issue. and as they were working that issue they could have been overcome after starting the descent because one of those problems they were dealing with, but the mystery should be solved, and this is the good news, in the next 24 hours. that voice recorder is already

being studied and it could have the answers and when they find that data recorder it will tell us more details about what happened to this jetliner. >> we'll talk more about that. david, thank you. abc news aviation consultant john nance joins us from seattle. let's pick up on what david was saying. as he said investigators are rushing into the debris area to find that data recorder. so, how long before we can determine what possibly happened? >> they will find the recorder, robin, no question about that. and i think probably we're looking at about two to three days before they read out the voice recorder. that is going to give us critical information. we know the flight path to a certain extent. what we don't know is what was going on in the cockpit. >> and we heard from david what possibly could have been going on in the cockpit. what is most troubling to you, john? >> two things, number one, if they were going to start an emergency descent, one of the most important aspects of that is to talk to air traffic control because you're descending right into oncoming air traffic and pilots know that and they changed the course 15 degrees off their course which is exactly what you would do in an emergency descent but on the way down there's no conversation.

could they not talk? had they turned off the electricity because of a fire? we don't know. secondly, and most troubling, why in an area where they know the alps are, they go up to 15,000 feet, why did they not level off at 15,000 feet? why continue on down? that indicates the possibility as david said of incapacitation. >> and hopefully we will be able to get some answers soon. don't have to tell you, millions, millions fly on that airbus a320 and it is a real workhorse and it has a good safety record? >> oh, yeah. it has a great safety record. i mean it's -- it is right up there with the boeing 737 and i think there are about 6,000 of them operating around the world. 5,000 more on order. this aircraft has been very much a boilerplate. high performer throughout the aviation industry and there's really nothing about it that you would look at and say, well, this is a marginal airplane. it is very trustworthy. i'm on one at least two times a week. >> all right, john, as always, we appreciate your insight. thank you. >> to think of those families on board for eight minutes that

descent, robin. we're going to turn now to that extreme spring weather striking right now across the country, severe thunderstorms impacting tens of millions from missouri to kansas on the commute, dropping dangerous hail just incredible pictures coming in so, of course, ginger is tracking it all. >> brand-new picture, david, this morning in cincinnati, the skyline lighting up with those strong storms and you can see the lightning not only illuminating the skies but hitting the buildings there. but it was the dozen hail reports -- big hail too moving through the midwest and plains. the first spurt of severe weather this season. >> there you go. >> reporter: the first bout of severe weather this year, raking the plains. in missouri, ominous storms darkening the sky. covering the ground with hail. some the size of golf balls. and out west, high winds toppling trees taking down power lines. look at these images of blacked out beverly hills, 4,000 people losing power in l.a. overnight.

gusts in the mountains as high as 79 miles per hour. winds sending this giant pine tree crashing to the street below blocking the road and smashing this mercedes just inches from the driver's seat. firefighters using a jaws of life to cut through the roof and free the trapped driver. >> the driver was alert, conscious. >> so hail now going to move through, again, this size will be in places like joplin, missouri, oklahoma city, those are the areas today that you'll see that large hail, the damaging wind, and today a slightly higher chance of seeing an isolated tornado. outside in that other yellow, that was more of a generally thunderstorm from parts of indiana, down through even south texasm so, robin, severe weather season is on and we will be tracking it today. >> all right, ginger, thank you. but now to amanda knox, back in the headlines this morning, italy's highest court deciding her fate. whether her latest murder conviction should stand, knox's watching this from her

home in seattle and abc's alex marquardt has that story for us. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, robin. that's right, that ruling from italy's supreme court could come at any moment today. it could mark the culmination of more than seven years of legal proceedings or just be the beginning of a new legal battle for amanda knox. this morning, amanda knox is facing a familiar nightmare, her fate yet again lying in the balance of an italian court. knox's ex-boyfriend, raffaele sollecito is in italy this morning awaiting the country's highest court's decision. he faces up to 25 years in prison and the 27-year-old knox could still face a more than 28 years in prison for murder still. >> this really has hit me like a train. i did not expect this to happen. >> reporter: it's been a winding and emotional ride for knox, her 2009 conviction for the alleged murder of college roommate meredith kercher was

dramatically overturned on appeal in 2011 then that acquittal as thrown out in 2013 and she and ex-boyfriend raffaele sollecito were convicted again last year by an appeals court. today, italy's supreme court is expected to decide possibly once and for all if knox's murder conviction should stand or whether she should face yet another trial on appeal. if this conviction is upheld there are no more appeals on the murder charge in italy. >> reporter: knox's life today couldn't be farther from her legal drama. she's newly engaged, working in a bookstore and her byline can be found on theater reviews for a small seattle newspaper, but abc news learned she's also in therapy, still trying to cope with her tumultuous past and a very uncertain future. the big question this morning, if the conviction is upheld, will knox be extradited and sent back to an italian jail? >> i will never go willingly back to the place where i -- i'm going to fight this until the very end. >> reporter: and, robin, just

moments ago we got a statement from the family of meredith kercher saying they hope there is a definitive decision so that meredith's family and friends can finally concentrate on remembering meredith for who she was. robin. >> alex, thank you. now to amy with the other top stories right now starting with the growing crisis in yemen. >> that's right. we are just getting word this morning that rebels in yemen have seized control of an air base that had been considered crucial for u.s. drone strikes against al qaeda. yemen's president has fled his home and there are reports that the rebels have now arrested yemen's defense minister. u.s. troops evacuated that country last week because of growing security concerns. back here in this country, a deadly night for law enforcement. investigators in san jose, california, say a veteran police officer was gunned down when a suicidal man opened fire. and in wisconsin, a state trooper was killed in a gunfight with a suspected bank robber. the suspect was also killed. also breaking this morning, a megamerger in the food business between two iconic brands, heinz and kraft, are

combining in a deal valued at $40 billion. investor warren buffett and a brazilian investment firm are behind the deal which would form the third largest food and beverage company in north america. new questions about leadership at the secret service after a contentious hearing on capitol hill. lawmakers growing angry as video of an incident at the white house is finally made public. here's abc's pierre thomas. >> reporter: searing criticism from congress still demanding reform after allegations of drunk agents outside the white house. >> it's like the keystone cops here. >> who are you holding accountable? >> it appears that we have an agency at war against itself. >> reporter: congress still angry despite this new video depicting the alleged drunk driving incident as far less dramatic than first thought. two secret service agents in a government car driving slowly, no crash, only nudging a temporary barrier but that didn't stop members of congress from wondering aloud whether the new director as secret service

veteran could truly overhaul an agency that's seen its share of scandals, ranging from agents soliciting prostitutes to that intruder making his way all the way into the white house. >> you were hired to clean up the mess. >> reporter: and the mess now includes whether the agents responded aggressively enough to a possible bomb threat. the reason there was a crime scene in the first place. >> this is the life, safety and security of the president of the united states and the white house. the threat is real but i don't feel it. i don't see it and it's unacceptable. >> the president is safe, the first family is safe and the white house is safe. i know what it takes to protect presidents and their families. >> reporter: for "good morning america," pierre thomas, abc news, washington. dramatic video this morning of a bus stuck on a road in brazil when floodwaters open up a massive sinkhole. look at that. the bus falls right in but it stays upright floating down the river. fortunately and incredibly when you see this video everybody on board got off the bus before it fell into the water and no one was injured.

finally, the guy known as the most interesting man in the world has shown up in a very unlikely place. you may remember him from these commercials for dos equis beer. traveling the world surrounded by women. look at where he ended up the other day. he tried to impersonate dos drivers. there he was in the front seat of a car in the hov lane in washington state. the driver using the cardboard cutout to make it look like he had a carpooler on board but he was busted. police were smarter than you think, police tweeting out the picture saying "i don't always violate the hov lane law but when i do i get a $124 ticket." the most interesting way to cheat the hov lane fails. and they allowed him to keep the cardboard cutout. they just said just don't use it again. >> let that be a lesson to you. now to angelina jolie's brave decision, the star revealing she removed her ovaries and fallopian tubes to reduce her risk of cancer. raying awareness that could help save lives.

many are reacting this morning to what's being called the angelina jolie effect and t.j. holmes is there in the social square with that. good morning, t.j. >> hey there, robin. doctors are always trying to raise awareness but angelina jolie is an international superstar and for her to share this, doctors could only dream of this. after her preventive double mastectomy doctors found a spike in breast cancer screenings in the u.s. and doubled in the uk. there is hope that the angelina effect will happen about ovarian cancer. a lot of support for jolie is coming in on social media, including martina navratilova who had her own breast cancer battle, she's tweeting out "true shining light, you go girl." also, another here from mindy kaling, who is encouraging her followers to read it, calling it moving and calling lost her mother to pancreatic cancer. just a couple of the responses we're seeing so far. many more out there, robin. >> oh, and it has been, i mean, just all around the world. >> when women know their options and they know that they have choices and someone like

angelina comes out, it's incredibly brave. >> she was very clear that this was right for her. >> and she wanted her children to be able to say we didn't lose our mom. ginger it's not just the hail but freezing rain. >> in place from washington, d.c., david, up through maryland and parts of pennsylvania. let's go ahead and look at d.c. this morning. the freezing rain advisories go through noon. colder right there on the floor. that's how freezing rain forms and you'll see some icing. that's along the warm front. stormy cities.

good morning, america, and right now, two americans among the victims of that devastating plane crash in the french alps. investigators now searching for answers and a black box. also right , big questions after former nfl star darren sharper pleads guilty to sexual assaulting nine women in four different states. and a new report out this morning revealing that much bigger problem than previously thought in a new study and what the cameras caught. we do say, good morning, america, on this wednesday morning. so much to get to, as we're learning as we said more about that plane crash as crews search throughout the wreckage area. >> right now, looking at the debris field where the plane went down. two americans among the 150

people on that plane. but we begin this half hour with a former nfl star, darren sharper, pleading guilty to sexual assault charges after being accused of drugging and assaulting women in four states. sharpe agreeing to multiple plea deals, nine years behind bars. abc's ryan smith is here with that story. good morning, ryan. >> good morning, robin. darren sharper was one of the best players of the past decade in the nfl. now he's in jail for numerous sexual assault charges. a real-life jekyll and hyde, who at one point supported women's causes, but later went on to attack them all over the country. darren sharpe was a super bowl champ. >> i've been able to help teams win. >> reporter: earning millions over 14 nfl seasons, and later shining as an nfl tv analyst. >> you don't want to have bad team chemistry. >> reporter: but this morning, the gridiron great suffering a staggering fall from grace. >> how do you plead to the charge? >> guilty. >> reporter: after admitting he's been leading a double life as a serial rapist. authorities say sharper sexually

assaulted or attempted to assault at least nine women in four states over five months after rendering some of them unconscious by lacing their drinks with a generic form of ambien. >> the effects can be felt within a few minutes especially when combined with alcohol. >> reporter: the attacks starting in new orleans, then california, arizona and finally nevada. sharper was returning from that trip when his horrifying spree finally comes to an end. police arresting him at the los angeles airport after one of his alleged victims reported him to police. other victims followed, including a new orleans saints cheerleader and two women who according to the arrest report met sharper at a las vegas nightclub before he invited them to his hotel room to make them shots. hours later, both women woke up unable to remember details after those drinks, one later recalling that she and sharper did have intercourse. the other telling police it felt like she had sex but couldn't

remember. their hair samples later tested positive for that generic form of ambien. sharper's monstrous attacks even more shocking considering his support of women's causes like this event for breast cancer awareness. and it turns out the five-time pro bowler may have had partners in crime. a federal indictment alleges that he conspired with a former deputy sheriff to drug and rape women and in new orleans, he has a co-defendant accused of sexually assaulting some of the same women. both men have pleaded not guilty. while sharper once said to be destined for the nfl hall of fame is now headed to prison instead. he's agreed to plea deals in three states so far and prosecutors say he'll serve his time in federal prison, robin. >> but that time, many are questioning, nine years. >> they're saying it's shockingly low. in new orleans alone, he was facing life in prison but there's a couple of things judges have to approve these deals talking about multiple states.

secondly, there are co-defendants in this case, so the implication by some speculating saying that maybe he's flipping on other people and maybe that's part of all of this, but the other part of this is prosecutors always say, hey, better not to take my chances in trial and risk an acquittal and get a plea deal now, but it is shockingly low to so many. >> there may be more to the story. >> there may be more. >> ryan, thank you. we're going to turn now to the desperate search for a california woman who police say was kidnapped for ransom abducted from her bay area home. her family is now pleading for her safe return and abc's aditi roy has the very latest from vallejo, california. aditi, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, david. this is the home where denise huskins was kidnapped for ransom in the middle of the night. close to 100 people have been searching overnight. but this morning still no signs of her. this morning the mysterious disappearance of denise huskins has her father heartbroken. >> like a bad dream and i can't wake up. >> reporter: and police baffled, desperately scouring for any sign of the beautiful blonde. >> we are treating this matter as a kidnap for ransom.

>> reporter: authorities say huskins, a physical therapist, was abducted from this vallejo, california, home early monday morning, but police say it wasn't until 1:55 that afternoon that a 30-year-old male called to report it claiming he witnessed the whole thing. >> he was essentially saying that miss huskins was forcibly taken against her will. >> why did you take so long to talk? >> that's unknown. >> reporter: police tight-lipped but abc news has learned the home belongs to 30-year-old aaron quinn, the huskins say he's denise's boyfriend and co-worker, and that police told him he's the one that called 911 hours after the abduction. >> something is wrong there. you know, i -- unless he was tied up. >> reporter: our san francisco affiliate kgo also reporting this toyota camry reportedly taken from the scene of the abduction is registered to quinn. but police insist he is not a suspect or a person of interest. in fact, right now nobody is. police won't even disclose who they're talking to or reveal how

much ransom is being requested. >> it's just unreal. it doesn't make any sense. >> reporter: now, with a massive search under way, denise's father sending this emotional message to the daughter he desperately hopes is out there to hear it. >> just be strong and you have your family there and we're -- we'll find you. >> reporter: so heartbreaking. police urge anyone with information come forward. they're getting some help from fbi in piecing together this mystery. david, robin. >> hopefully some answers soon. all right. time again for the weather and ginger, i told you i was out in phoenix and people out there were saying, no one is talking about the drought out west. >> yes, and we want to talk about the drought out west. it's tough to talk about until you see photos like this so it takes you every year the third week of march, the same area in yosemite, you can see the snow dwindling as we get into 2015. the state of california has only

9% of its average snowpack this year. that's how low we're talking and these pictures really help to tell the story. i don't have great news in the way of more snow, but do have wind gusts of 50 miles per hour in southern california. those wind advisories in southern nevada, too, and the end of the week, it's a heat wave. so from yuma to palm springs we'll get close to 100. los angeles, it'll feel a whole lot more like summer. nothing to help that drought. all right. that's the big picture. >> good morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco, are you ready for warm temperatures away in the coast? you will be breezy and 61 to 64 and around the bay 61 to 76. check out my seven-day forecast, record highs are possible on thursday and >> all that weather brought to you by carmax and you remember yesterday we did the seagull. i thought it was saying, yay, more snow, and amy thought, no, it's not. it's saying aaagh, stop the snow. what do you guys think about the robin? you see that face? >> i just think that that little

severe teen crashes studied. that's more than four times previous official estimates from police reports. >> we're hoping that our central findings of the study will make parents more aware of the magnitude of the problem and the potential for disaster. >> reporter: 18-year-old aaron davoe became the first driver in massachusetts to be convicted of motor vehicle homicide by texting killing a 54-year-old man. on the day of the accident he sent a reported 193 texts including one just a minute before the accident and dozens after. in north carolina, police say high school senior sammy windham just months from graduating was sending her boyfriend a text about their date the night before when she lost control of her jeep and died. car accidents are the number one cause of teenage deaths in this country. so, aaa is hoping seeing videos like these will put the brakes on this dangerous trend. aaa is urging states to pass laws prohibiting cell phone use

in just a moment. but first here's abc's cecilia vega. >> reporter: she is one of the most beautiful women alive. >> angelina! >> reporter: a famed humanitarian, actor, director, mrs. brad pitt, a mother of six and now she is the public face of cancer prevention. angelina jolie revealing she had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed last week, a preventative surgery after doctors discovered what could be signs of early ovarian cancer, the very disease that killed her mother. the procedure coming just two years after jolie underwent a preventative double mastectomy. the hollywood superstar is sharing intimate details about her life writing in "the new york times" that within hours of learning the news from doctors, her famous husband was on a plane from france racing home to be by her side. and as she waited for medical test results, jolie says she lived in a haze, attending this soccer game three days ago while

trying to stay calm and focused. >> brad and angie love planning family outings, spending time at their kids' soccer games on the weekend and taking them out to family-friendly restaurants and that's exactly what she did during the days she waited for her results. >> reporter: jolie writing, "i will not be able to have any more children but i feel at ease with whatever will come." one of the world's most famous faces going public with a very private decision. for "good morning america," cecilia vega, abc news, los angeles. >> our thanks to cecilia. we know you have a lot of questions, so joining us now from los angeles is dr. kristi funk, she is the surgical breast specialist who performed angelina jolie's double mastectomy and the founder of the pink lotus breast center and with her is abc news medical contributor, dr. jennifer ashton. glad you're both together and dr. funk, it's good to have you back on the program, and we talked to you before and there are so many people that are asking why it was right for angelina to have this second procedure now after the one you

did some years ago. >> well, you know, when brca carriers don't yet have a known cancer, they have a little more flexibility with the choice of doing breast over ovaries first and in angie's case, she knew her ultimate risk for breast cancer were higher than ovarian and also the operation to remove breasts because of the reconstructive process is about start to finish on average three months, so circumstances in her life just worked out better two years ago to move with the breasts first, and the time was right now to do the ovaries. >> right, and you're right about the procedure, the double mastectomy, all that went into it was much more time consuming and other factors, and, jen, you were talking yesterday as a gynecologist, you have -- you had done the procedure that angelina jolie just recently underwent. >> right, robin. and it's called a bso. it is minimally invasive surgery. usually it's done laproscopically through tiny

little incisions in the belly and it's generally low risk but it's not zero risk. there are the routine surgical risks, bleeding, infection, damaged internal organs and then, of course, with the removal of the ovaries and the entire fallopian tube there's immediate menopause and it's new information in the gyn surgical field that the key is really getting that entire fallopian tube since that's where many cases of ovarian cancer actually start. >> yes, when you said that yesterday, it really raised a lot of eyebrows. and, dr. funk, another thing people have zeroed in on is when angelina said about how it has put her into forced menopause. how is that different from regular menopause? >> well, when menopause is forced, you bring it about almost instantaneously. the ovaries are responsible for spitting out all these hormone, estrogen and progesterone and when you remove those, you remove all those hormones in an instant, so she wakes up menopausal as opposed to natural

menopause where your ovaries peter out over time, months to years so you have a heads-up on the symptoms. >> what is the treatment for menopause? i know a lot of women are leaning in for this one. >> a few different choices, okay, so choice number one, i'll lean back is to just embrace menopause with all you got and go for it. but short of that, there are nonhormone remedies through acupuncture and herbal supplements, but the majority of women who undergo a bso prior to age 50 will opt for hormone replacement, so that comes in different forms, pills, creams, vaginal suppositories, patches. >> and we really were quite touched and moved in many ways from what angelina jolie wrote and she was pretty much saying, you know, this was her choice and she also, jen, she mentioned there are other options, and you talk about that too. >> that's right, and, you know, for any woman facing any kind of a big decision like this type of surgery or any surgery, you always have to consider a few things, what are the risks?

in this case what are the risks of doing the surgery and what are the risks of not doing the surgery? in her case about a 40% chance of developing ovarian cancer at a young age, then what are the benefits? the benefits of doing this surgery, very clear. a big study showed that women with this genetic mutation who had their tubes and ovaries removed faced a 70% reduced risk of death by the age of 70 so that's huge. the benefits of not doing the surgery, no immediate menopause and then options, as you said. there are always options and there are options even to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer and we know that taking birth control pills lowers the risk and that's what's important. >> and removing ovaries prior to age 40 cuts breast cancer risk in half for brca carriers. >> and i know that's very important to you to get that information out and just really quickly, insurance, because people want to know the testing and the procedures, how much is covered by insurance? >> if -- >> 100%.

>> if you meet criteria even if you don't have insurance, you can get the tests and you can get the surgery. >> all right, dr. funk and jen, thank you very much. we certainly appreciate all your insight and suggestions this morning. you all take care. >> thanks, robin. and we posted the answers to your most commonly asked questions about the story on our website at goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! david. >> all right, robin, thanks very much. that's the biggest gift that angelina jolie just gave is this conversation that we're all having for women across the country. we're going to turn next in the "heat index" to the latest way to work out your body and your relationship too. on the yoga mat. acroyoga -- now everyone is awake. -- the hottest way to bring couples in balance, we're told, through shared aerial yoga poses, and, well, we thought we would send ginger to check it out. ♪ >> reporter: it's the uplifting trend that's taking workouts and relationships to new heights. >> it makes me happy. it makes me feel good. >> it's just a lot of fun. >> reporter: now celebs like

it has enhanced our relationship because it's taught us how to communicate better and to cooperate much better because our safety is on the line. >> reporter: mary says it's not just for couples. >> acroyoga is about relationship, community and communication. so it's definitely recommended for family members, friends. >> reporter: but i just couldn't resist calling in my extremely limber husband ben. >> i'm the king of the world. >> reporter: we mastered acroyoga. >> high-five. >> i sensed a little bit of sarcasm there. >> yeah, not quite mastered, but you know what, it was easier than i thought. >> and, well, you're newly married, so what kind of help do you need? but they do say it helps. we're joined by acroyoga enthusiasts, susan and nosa edebor. glad you brought the couch in. i can ask you questions. >> yeah. >> first of all, there's a lot of talk about how you're able to build a relationship at the same time as you build your pose.

>> yeah, this is obviously a big trust strengthener and we have to learn how to communicate quickly and like clearly so that's really awesome. >> now, susie, you can maybe start to come down because this is obviously an advanced move, but i know that yesterday i was so surprised by just a lot of us could start out. can you show us a beginner move and kind of lead us through it if somebody at home wants to do it. >> there's a lot of different classes all around the country. me and susie teach in houston, texas. this is the first move, if you want to get started, called bird or airplane or superman. everybody has done it as a child. >> all right. >> so what you do is you have a nice plank body. >> that's the bird. >> the bird. it's all about -- >> point your toe. >> stick with the bird here and celine dion when we come back.
