good morning, america. frightening flight. the u.s. postal worker breaching one of the most secure areas in the world. shocking onlookers by flying a helicopter onto the lawn of the capitol. >> this is not good, people. >> the pilot quickly led away in handcuffs, bomb squads clearing the area. why he did it. and did he expose a major security threat? new this morning -- the massive manhunt for these bank robbers on a violent spree right now, threatening to kidnap bank employees and shoot it out with law enforcement. the fbi's warning to the public this morning and why they say the dangerous gang could include former police officers. modern lawsuit. sofia vergara in a very modern legal battle with her ex-fiance over frozen embryos. the case that's raising big questions for families everywhere.

and swept away. a woman knocked off a cliff by a giant wave, falling 40 feet onto the rocks below right in front of her mom. how did she survive this vacation nightmare? and we do say good morning, america, on this thursday morning. friday eve. and the gang is all here. and we can't wait for everyone to see these parents of the newborn quintuplets. danielle and adam. the first all-girl quints born in this country. they have six girls now. wait until you hear what they say about trying to get a boy. >> i think she gets to win that one. we begin with the wild scene over washington. a florida postal worker somehow lands that gyrocopter right there on the capitol lawn. an act of civil disobedience.

he managed to expose a security vulnerability. right in the heart of our capital. jim avila starts us off. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, george. he landed in the shadow of the capitol dome. he's in a washington, d.c., jail, awaiting charges. it floated in. past the white house. down the washington mall. over the monuments. on a beeline for the nation's capitol. an ultralight helicopter, less than 500 pounds, and carrying one passenger. >> this is not good, people. >> reporter: the gyroplane flying a route through the no-fly zone. around the capitol. penetrating the missile systems and the radar landing right on the west lawn of the capitol. 100 yards from the speaker's balcony. flown in protest by a former postal worker. >> i'm going to violate the no-fly zone. nonviolently and for nobody to get hurt.

i'm going to land on the mall, right in front of the capitol building. >> reporter: but it was an immediate threat. raising questions about the protection for the nation's leaders. >> how does an individual in the air space get that close? >> reporter: especially when the pilot, identified as 61-year-old doug hughes from florida, taken away in handcuffs, his gyrocopter checked out by a robot, and then cleared by the bomb squad. in full protective garb. he made no secret of his plan to carry out a dramatic, bold act of civil disobedience. he told family and friends about the plan, intending to deliver letters to congress, demanding change in campaign finance laws. >> what he wanted to do was very brave and all that, even if a little bit stupid. >> reporter: and when his family called the secret service a year and a half ago, he told the

agents of his plans, too. he told the local newspaper, which made this video of hughes learning to fly the copter. practicing and making youtube videos from the cockpit. all along emphasizing this was not terrorism, just a crazy stunt. >> terrorists don't announce their flights before they take off. okay? terrorists don't broadcast their flight path. no sane person could do what i'm doing. >> reporter: a protest mission he was willing to die for. says his friend in tampa. >> he knew the risks. he knew he could die. he knew he could be arrested. he knew he could go and go to jail. but he was willing to do that. >> reporter: the secret service said in a statement overnight they did investigate hughes a year and a half ago. but no one warned them of the pending flight on the day of. george. >> let's get more from the "tampa bay times" reporter who knew this was coming, ben montgomery.

thanks for joining us this morning. doug first came to you first about a year ago? >> he called me up in my office. he said i'm going to commit an act of civil disobedience. nobody will get hurt. i might get hurt. in that event, i need somebody to be able to tell the backstory. >> what did you start to do? >> that first meeting, he explained he had this plan. it sounded to me like a bunch of craziness. but, i thought, you know what? i'm going to pay attention to this guy. if he has the wherewithal to carry this out, it could be an interesting story. >> you wrote he was a mix of paul revere and p.t. barnum. we also showed him telling you that no sane person would do what he was doing. did you think he was sane? >> i thought he was very sane. just sane enough to -- or just insane enough maybe to commit a federal crime like this. >> you get word he's going to pull this off. you go up to washington, as well.

listen if he had flown a foot or two higher, he would have gotten killed. did you feel any responsibility to tell the authorities this was coming? >> look, he said he was going to do this whether we were there or not. um -- uh -- the authorities knew. he was interviewed by the secret service about a year before. before he took flight. he announced his flight well in advance. he left from gettysbur about and hour and half of flight time. >> what do you think should happen to doug now? >> he would want people to not view the story as oh, this is lax security on the part of the police. he was aiming for, we need to talk in a big way, as a nation, about whether we want unlimited corporate spending in elections. he -- you know, i think -- his message is kind of -- got lost in the past 24 hours. the idea that like there's big money in politics.

and he felt like this was the crumbling of the democracy. we need to have a conversation about campaign finance reform. >> thanks ben for joining us. >> thank you. >> not the conversation we're having today. >> no, it's not. we're going to bring in pierre thomas. this incident is raising big questions about security at the capitol. many asking how they missed it. >> reporter: good morning, robin. law enforcement officials are concerned that millions of dollars deployed after 9/11 was not good enough to detect this small aircraft. it was an utter security failure and, sources say, a wakeup call. my sources have seen no evidence so far that radar detected it. that gyrocopter traveled more than 50 miles to get to the capitol. it should have been seen. >> is it technology or human failure to notice it was flying in? >> reporter: exactly. some sources wondering if the copter was too small, flying too low, too slow to be detected.

if you can't see it, you can't track it or intercept it. normally, norad would be on alert and fighter jets dispatched. that did not happen because apparently, no one saw this aircraft coming in mile after mile. robin? we turn to politics. a major reversal from hillary clinton. the clinton foundation under fire for soliciting foreign donations. it announced last night it would stop taking most of them. let's talk about it with jon karl. >> clinton critics zeroing in on this question of foreign donations and possible conflicts. >> reporter: oh, she's been hammered over this over time. the most controversy has centered on donations from foreign governments with bad human rights records, like saudi arabia, which, on its own, has given millions to the clinton foundation. the clintons have always defended this. now the foundation is going to way cut back its foreign donors.

no more donations from countries with bad human rights records. they'll continue to accept some foreign donations, only from allies, a small list of six countries, including england and canada. >> and chris christie hit the town meetings in new hampshire, trying to catch a spark. even before he's announced. >> reporter: he is going to try to come back. he was at one point, a possible front-runner. now he wants to come back one town hall at a time. he was up in new hampshire doing this yesterday. he's back, george, on friday, for yet another town hall meeting. he's got a long way to go. >> jon karl, thank you very much. now the former football star aaron hernandez convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for killing odin lloyd. it's a dramatic downfall for a young man worth millions, once one of the best players at his position. mara schiavocampo is here with more on this. good morning, mara. >> reporter: robin, good morning.

he had it all. but now will be in prison for the rest of his life. jurors deliberated for 35 hours over 6 days. ultimately concluding the one-time pro athlete was a cold-blooded killer. patriots player turned prisoner. >> guilty of murder in the first degree. >> reporter: this morning, convicted of first-degree murder. the 25-year-old showing no emotion when the verdict was announced before falling into his seat. as his mother and fiancee sobbed, he reportedly turned and mouthed the words, be strong. just feet away, the victim's mother, also crying. >> he was my strength. i love him dearly. >> reporter: the conviction is a stunning fall from grace for hernandez. >> hernandez to the 12 yard line. >> reporter: a star tight end for a super bowl championship-winning team. with a $40 million contract. and a lavish mansion outside boston.

prosecutors say he threw it all away, orchestrating the murder of his friend, odin lloyd in 2013. >> this was just about a murder occurring. a brutal, senseless murder. >> reporter: the prosecution had no motive or murder weapon. but claimed this security video from hernandez's home showed him holding a gun less than ten minutes after lloyd's death. and that this box, later carried out by hernandez's fiancee, contained the murder weapon. >> some of us got there for different reasons. but ultimately reached the same conclusion. >> reporter: now $5 million of his assets are frozen. he's sentenced to life without parole. for now, at a prison, just one mile from the stadium where he was a star. and hernandez's legal troubles are not over. he still faces double murder charges for a drive-by shooting in 2012. officials say he killed two men

over a spilled drink at a club. >> not over for hernandez. thank you, mara. amy has the morning's other top stories. starting with the search for the passenger plane missing for more than a year now. >> that's right. overnight crews looking for malaysia flight 370, which disappeared in march of last year, announced they'll double the search area in the indian ocean if they don't find the plane by next month. it's welcome news for the 227 passengers' families who feared authorities may gave up the search. crews have found no trace of the plane. at home, the fbi searching for a pair of bank robbers in the pittsburgh area growing increasingly violent. surveillance photos show one suspect pointing a gun at a bank employee's head. authorities believe the suspects may have a military background because of how they hold their weapons. they're believed responsible for at least three robberies so far and have threatened to fire back at any police who pursue them.

new details about the police officer in arizona who ran down a suspect with his patrol car. the officer was the subject of a lawsuit in his previous job with the new york police department when he was accused of using excessive force, choking a man during a parking dispute. that lawsuit was settled. meanwhile, neal karlinsky has more on why investigators insist the officer's actions on the street in arizona were, in fact, justified. >> reporter: the video is disturbing. a suspect intentionally run down by police. >> oh! >> reporter: this morning, the man who watched it all unfold right in front of his office tells abc news, he believes police did the right thing. you think this guy was a threat? >> oh, heavens yes. i know he was. if they got into a gunfight, there would have been bullets all over the place. >> reporter: police say the video doesn't tell the story. the suspect was wanted for a suspected three-hour crime

spree, allegedly robbing a 7-eleven, breaking into a church, stealing a car. and also caught on camera, allegedly stealing this rifle and ammunition from a walmart. when officers approached him walking with the loaded rifle. >> stop. don't [ bleep ] do it. >> you don't want to do this. you don't want to do this. >> reporter: he didn't just ignore the police. he fired the gun. >> i think the police officer made a tough, tough decision. it turned out to be the right decision. >> reporter: security experts say, horrible as it looks, the suspect is lucky the police didn't open fire. >> the officer's actions were unconventional. but they were effective. he was able to stop a very violent situation. >> reporter: his attorney says the circumstances don't justify the violent tactic. >> i think there are all sorts of other things the police could have done. >> reporter: for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, tucson, arizona. the state of kansas in the spotlight for its new crackdown

on welfare spending. it bans welfare recipients from buying tattoos, concert tickets, and lingerie, among other things. the governor says the goal is to get families off welfare. critics say the limits are mean-spirited. an explosive scene on long island, new york. police say a man trying to kill bedbugs in his rental car. he doused the interior with rubbing alcohol. moments later, he lit a cigarette. you see is aftermath. the car bursting into flames. he escaped and he survived his second-degree burns. wow. and finally, a woman who has a much better attitude about all of those potholes plaguing our streets than i do. rather than angrily shouting at no one while hitting those potholes, like i do, she used the power of positivity is to elicit change. when the city wasn't doing enough, she decided to plant flowers in them.

one by one they highlighted how many potholes were lurking out there. guess what? it worked. she got city's attention. the pothole patrol has been filling them one by one. i would like to see that happen in new york. >> creative solution. >> a daring solution. to sit in the middle of the road. >> she would be really busy in new york. >> thank you for the warning. don't cross amy. >> i do it by myself all the time in the car. another amazing story coming up. one woman lucky to be alive this morning after a massive wave knocked her off the face of a cliff, dropping her on to the rocks below. it was all caught on camera. >> oh, my gosh! >> reporter: watch as the woman taking this cell phone video gets swept away by this massive wave off the coast of ireland. the wall of water sweeps her off the edge. knocking her 40 feet down. her parents nearby as their

21-year-old daughter tumbles. >> the most terrifying moments of my life. when i see the huge wave coming and my daughter shouting mommy, i look back, she's not there. >> reporter: fortunately, a couple visiting the island sprang to action. fashioned a rope out of a jacket. tied it to a backpack and lowering it down. >> at first, i didn't see it coming. i tried to run. the wave just pushed me off my perch. >> reporter: rescuing apu gupta. who was visiting ireland's islands. >> the water cushioned my fall. the impact wasn't as great as it could have been. >> i mean, amazing story. i'm glad she's alive. if you're ever standing on a cliff no one else is there, they're all aiming a camera at you, don't be there. get off. >> run. >> good advice. great up here. storms down south? >> in southern louisiana. dozens of severe storm reports. huge chunks of hail. and this trees going down.

on "gma." >> i'm 40 years old. nothing happens that naturally anymore. i wanted to make sure i froze some eggs. i wanted to take advantage of science. why not? >> reporter: at the time, both signed an agreement that said the embryos should be destroyed in the event of either or both of their deaths. now loeb wants to save them. at all costs and he says she hasn't agreed to that. >> i think the court has to decide if the agreement controls in this situation where there's a breakup rather than a death. >> reporter: the complaint doesn't allege that vergara is actively trying to destroy the embryos, loeb is saying she bullied and berated him into the agreement at the time. a friend close to loeb says the banking dynasty heir has always been a pro-life republican who believes life begins at conception. and killing them is no different than killing a life. the court documents list the

didn't know what was wrong for the longest time. >> i went from doctor to doctor for about eight months. until i found somebody that had the knowledge behind this disease and the experience of treating it. i actually knew i had it the whole time. probably since the summer. and, i just was up against a lot of doctors telling me, you're crazy. it's either -- some of them were like, it doesn't exist. i was like, but this is really happening to me. so, it was pretty unacceptable and frustrating. that's why i'm here today, to talk about it, to bring awareness. to hopefully help other people. >> you said it was a wakeup call. what have you learned about it? what kinds of adjustments have you had to make? >> well, i believe that i will come out of this healthier and stronger than i was before. um -- i have gained a lot of perspective on my life.

youth sports. >> you don't tell me what we can talk about and what we can't talk about. you're 15. i'll let you know if we're going to talk about it or not. >> reporter: in the documentary film "trophy kids," we get an alarming look into youth sports. >> i know you didn't see it. you were looking the other way. >> okay, that's enough. >> reporter: in your opinion, what is the biggest problem facing youth sports in america today? >> i would say a couple of things. people have forgotten how fun should be a part of it. i think the biggest problem comes down to motive. when a parent puts their agenda in front of the kid's, you start pushing kids away from sports. we have to step back and ask, why are we doing this? >> reporter: mike matheny is the manager of the st. louis cardinals. but in 2010, when a group of local parents approached him about managing his son's little league team, he balked. tell me about "the matheny manifesto." >> i have seen coaching go well. and i have seen it go extremely

bad as well. parents with warped ideas. of how they needed to support their kids and watching kids quit at a high rate. so i started listing out some of the things that were obvious to me. >> reporter: "the matheny manifesto," a letter he wrote to parents outlining how things would have to be different for him to take the job. of managing these little-leaguers. i believe the biggest role a parent can play is to be a silent source of encouragement. this is all about the boys. how easy or hard was it for you, as parents, to change your own behavior on game day? >> um, terrible. >> horrible. >> we had grown up yelling. we thought it was encouraging. you can do it, you can do it. >> and what we saw, at the end of the day, the kids just enjoyed the game. >> reporter: they didn't win a championship. but every one of the boys came away a better player. and in their own minds, better and more confident. young man. >> it was the best coaching experience i have ever had.

i learned so much. >> i think it was a lot different because he put more emphasis on it's not all about baseball. it's about using baseball as a way to make you a better man and push you in the right direction in life. >> we're raising up our next group of leaders. and i think we're crazy if we don't think that even sports at the lowest level can help those kids develop into who they are supposed to be. >> reporter: i gotta tell you. i love this book. i think everyone should read it. it's not just for coaches or parents. everyone can get something valuable from reading "the matheny manifesto." it transcends sports. it's about leaving a positive impression on our youth today. instilling values that kids can take to life. after baseball or off the playing field. it's a tremendous read. >> i'm in. i'm in. >> i'm in, too. >> i can't wait to read that. but mike just said, why did we all start playing sports? because it was fun. >> he famously says at the start of the manifesto, the only team he thought he would ever coach

is a team full of orphans because the biggest problem in youth sports today with the parents. i think he's right. we have to change the culture. it's gone viral. youth sports in america are changing. a big reason because of him. >> it's counterintuitive, parents think they're helping. by putting that pressure on them but in fact, you're pushing them away. back off. >> the kid at the plate, game on the line. he or she is worried about letting themselves, the teammate, the coach down, but the one person in the park they love more than anyone us. also cheering for them, but -- you ask most 10-year-olds what you want parents to do at games? nothing. >> quiet. quiet. it's true. >> otherwise you get the death stare. >> that's right. >> thank you, jesse. next on our heat index, when you think about love, math is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. it may help explain your relationship and why it works. or doesn't. nick watt takes a look at the love equation. >> reporter: does the argument

you're having with your spouse ever feel like it's disintegrating diplomacy between two nuclear powers? well, it is. >> mathematically speaking, there's a direct relationship. >> reporter: a formula devised by two eggheads called gottman and murray. who studied hundreds of bickering couples. >> giving your wife a sad, freeway bucket rose. >> hey, hey, what? you know. that's it. i'm out! all right! >> just by decoding what is happening in an argument into numbers, basically, they could predict whether a particular couple would get divorced with 90% accuracy. >> reporter: anna frye just wrote about this in the book "mathematics of love." seriously. math and love, bed fellows? here are the numbers. >> you can draw a graph. while you look at couples' arguments and translate it into plus and minus points. you show things like disgust,

which is generally wisely avoided, that's minus three points. if you're conveying joy or humor, you get plus four points. >> reporter: so which couples stay together? the chilled ones that don't sweat the small stuff. right? >> it's the exact opposite. couples were, if something bothers them, they speak up. they mention it straight away. and they don't let really small issues end up becoming a really big deal. those are the ones who ended up having the most success in the long term. >> reporter: seriously? okay. i'm off to ask my wife why she didn't take the trash out. really? have i got this right? for "good morning america," nick watt, abc news, los angeles. coming up, national wear your pajamas to work day. or slippers. we're having a lot of fun celebrating with our slippers on. also, we have got
