7:02 am
see that. i'm sure some aren't. ginger will be here with much more on your holiday forecast. >> a lot of information that people need. we have to begin with sad news. that devastating bus crash in tennessee. the school bus flipped on its side, hit trees, killing at least five young children. that bus driver now under arrest facing charges. and am where is on the scene in chattanooga with the latest. good morning, amy. >> reporter: good morning, george. it is a devastating morning here in chattanooga. the accident happened just behind me. a few hundred feet up this hill. around 3:20 this afternoon. less than a mile from school. we now know that 37 were on the bus. in addition to the five killed, others are in the hospital. federal investigators are looking into whether excessive speed was a factor in this tragedy. >> the bus has flipped over. it is occupied with children. >> reporter: a bus full of
7:03 am
children on their way home from elementary school runs off the road, slamming into these trees in a residential neighborhood. >> we heard the crash. and we went outside to look. and we saw that the bus had turned over. and apparently had hit the house across the street. they were escaping through the roof hatch. >> reporter: police believe excessive speed may have been a factor. they have charged the bus driver, 24 year-old johnthony walker, with five counts of vehicular homicide, reckless endangerment, and reckless driving. >> we executed a search warrant for his blood. the investigation will let us know if there was any outside influences on his ability to drive a car, to drive a vehicle. we don't know at this time. what we do know now is that his behavior was to the point of recklessness. and it met the criteria for filing charges for vehicular homicide, reckless driving, and reckless endangerment. >> reporter: at least five of the students dead and two dozen
7:04 am
others injured. as emergency personnel raced to the scene, families waited nervously to hear what happened to their children. the bus so mangled it took more than two hours to get the students to safety. the local hospital overwhelmed as ambulance after ambulance arrived. >> our thoughts and prayers are with their families, their schools, their friends, and our entire community impacted by this tragedy. >> reporter: hundreds gathered at area hospitals standing in long lines to give blood. >> this is an absolute nightmare. but i can assure you the public safety professionals in chattanooga are prepared and trained to make sure this is investigated thoroughly. >> reporter: authorities planning to review the video from the school bus to figure out exactly what happened. we just saw a massive tow truck and a flatbed right in front of me going up to the scene of that bus crash. they'll be removing the bus shortly because the investigation has gone on through the evening. but so many people do want answers, including the parents of children who were on that bus. just a few moments ago, i spoke
7:05 am
with one of those parents, craig harris. craig, thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> i know your daughter, your stepson, and your niece were all on that bus. how are they doing this morning? >> this morning they are doing a lot better. my daughter and my stepson, they're in a lot of pain and a little bit of shock still but for the most part, they're -- they're fine. my niece, she is in recovery this morning. she just got out of surgery about an hour ago. and they're just keeping a close eye on her. >> there was a fear at one point she might lose her arm. that's how severe her injuries were. >> yes, ma'am. they had to go into her leg and remove a vein to replace the one that was torn from her arm. she is looking at a long road to recovery and a lot more surgeries, but -- she's here. >> i can't imagine the moment when you got word that your children were involved in a bus accident, and a severe bus accident. tell me when you first heard, and what happened next? >> actually when i first heard,
7:06 am
it's been a big fear of mine and when i first heard, i literally had to -- i almost lost it, really. i had to sit down and just gain my composure. i had to calm my wife down and other family members that were also affected by this and it just -- it was just -- it's something i never want to face again. >> yeah. and so you get the word. you go to this room and you're waiting to find out if your children are okay or not. >> yes, ma'am. i can say that they did the best they could. in my eyes, they did the best that they could with this situation because there were so many people down at the hospital at that time. and so many families just in the same boat that i was in. >> waiting to hear if their children were dead or alive. >> right. >> what was that room like of parents? were you comforting each other? >> yes, we were. some people were easier to calm than others. >> have you seen the bus driver, mr. walker, drive your children?
7:07 am
have you seen how he drives? do you know him at all? >> i don't know him. i don't know him personally. honestly, he -- there has been times where i have seen him going a little faster than he probably should be going. >> and that concerned you as a parent. did you ever have worries putting your children on that school bus? >> yes, ma'am. that's the reason why -- that's the reason why i tried to be there in the mornings when he's pulling up so i can try to get a rhythm for what he was doing. and also in the evenings, because some days, he would come up the street and drop them off. some days he would go down the street and drop them off. i'm not a bus driver so i'm not sure how their -- what their protocol is. but i kind of figured that that wasn't something he was supposed to be doing. >> well, the ntsb investigating his actions. and he is in custody at this hour, so we do know that much. in terms of what's next for this community, i know that to see those lines with people giving blood had to be so incredibly heartwarming. but we're two days from thanksgiving.
7:08 am
what's the impact on this community? >> for me there was a silver lining in this, because i did see -- i did see my city come together yesterday. >> we'll take that. craig, thank you so much and wishing your children a speedy recovery, physically and mentally, because there's a long road ahead for everyone. >> yes, ma'am. definitely. >> speaking of coming together woodmore elementary school will be open today. there will be grief counseling for students, staff, and community members who will need help processing this tragedy. robin? >> this accident is raising major questions about school bus safety. the ntsb is launching a go team to investigate there in chattanooga. abc's david kerley joins us with more on that. and david, what can we expect from this team to do in its investigation? >> well, the ntsb looks at all the factors, robin. they're going to be looking at
7:09 am
the weather. they're going to be looking at the equipment, the bus, and whether or not it was in good condition. but the pictures tell so much from this story, robin. you can see that bus, looks like it rolled onto its side and hit the tree and just folded around that tree. but that's all the things the ntsb will look at. but think about this, robin. on average, five schoolkids are killed in a bus accident every year. five were killed yesterday. >> yes, all right, david. thank you very much and, again, the investigation continues and our hearts go out to the families in the community there in chattanooga. >> cannot imagine what those parents are going through. okay, we are going to move on now and get the latest on president-elect trump. transition in full swing at trump tower. trump meeting with potential cabinet members and the press. facing new questions about conflicts with his business. last night, he released a youtube video outlining some things he'll do from his first day in office. david wright reports from trump tower. good morning. >> reporter: this videotaped message setting an agenda for the first 100 days steers clear
7:10 am
of some of the most controversial proposals from the campaign trail. trump focused on things he can do immediately by executive order. and this is really the first time we've heard from the president-elect since election night. >> our transition team is working very smoothly, efficiently, and effectively. truly great and talented men and women, patriots, indeed, are being brought in. and many will soon be a part of our government. >> reporter: a short, restrained speech, talking directly to the american people. >> i want the next generation of production and innovation to happen right here on our great homeland. america. >> reporter: trump promises to renegotiate trade deals, ease restrictions on energy production, crack down on immigration abuses, and impose a lobbying ban for all workers in the executive branch. >> i will provide more updates in the coming days as we work together to make america great again for everyone. and i mean everyone. >> reporter: revolving door meetings continue including
7:11 am
former rivals now looking for jobs. among them former governor rick perry of texas, who was sharply critical of trump during the primaries. >> donald trump's candidacy is a cancer on conservatism and must be clearly diagnosed, excised, and discarded. >> reporter: perry was recently voted off "dancing with the stars." now he's hoping for a cabinet post. trump also met with hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard. you may remember her from the convention. >> this movement of love and compassion is bigger than any one of us. >> reporter: not the republican convention. that was from the democratic one, talking about bernie sanders. the 35-year-old progressive now considering coming over to trump. >> i think there's a recognition that there is a big country out there with lots of voters that feel disaffected from their party, the democrats. >> reporter: on the cabinet, no major announcements yet. the trump transition team says we can expect an announcement any day now. as for the video tape, what's
7:12 am
really striking is what's left out. no talk of repealing obama care. no talk of locking hillary clinton up. no talk of mass deportations or building the wall. trump focused here on bringing the country together, george? >> david wright, thanks very much. more on this from our chief political analyst matthew dowd. matt, thanks for joining us this morning. we just saw that youtube video as david mentioned. trump did not get into things he's not doing. also facing questions right now about these conflicts of interest. he has had a series of meetings. over the course of this transition. ivanka trump sitting in on the meeting with the japanese prime minister. meetings with his indian business partners and perhaps the argentinian prime minister speaking with ivanka trump. yesterday mr. trump talking to his british officials about wind farms in britain, even republicans now starting to raise questions about these conflicts. >> george, i think the biggest problematic thing for president-elect trump in his administration ahead isn't his appointments, which a lot of people have been disturbed about. or isn't his policies that he's
7:13 am
beginning now to enunciate. it could be this issue with interests around the world and it looks like him putting this in a blind trust run by his children isn't going to be clean enough. even "the wall street journal" said he ought to liquidate all his assets. the problem for donald trump is if he doesn't do that, and doesn't clean that up, he could be subject to conflicts of interest charges and could be subject to corruption charges. and finally he could actually be subject to constitutional questions, as you know, there's a clause in the constitution, called the emoluments clause and it's a big word. means you cannot take advantage or benefit from a foreign state or a foreign government. that's a huge problem for donald trump. >> the trump team says they are going to put structures in place. we'll see what is coming as the transition goes on. some word this morning that perhaps donald trump will not pursue this investigation of hillary clinton. that probably makes sense. >> i think that makes sense. i think most of his voters could care less. most of his voters want him to change their economic life. they're suffering. they're frustrated. they could care less about hillary clinton. it does appeal to his special
7:14 am
interests around him. but he would be better just to move on. >> matthew dowd, thanks very much. george, we'll move on to that terror arrest in new york just days before thanksgiving. our chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with more. good morning, brian. >> reporter: well, good morning, robin. with preparations well under way for heavy security around the big thanksgiving day parade here, the fbi has arrested a brooklyn man who tried to join isis and talked of an attack right here in times square. the fbi moved in after more than a year of tracking 37-year-old mohamed naji. officials said the suspect tried to join isis overseas and then returned to new york, expressing support in recorded conversations for an attack like the one in nice, france, where an isis follower drove a semi truck through crowds attending the bastille day celebration killing 84 people. if there is a truck, he said, i mean a garbage truck and one drives it there to times square and crushes them, times square day. >> this was an arrest to disrupt
7:15 am
a potential attack given that this individual was following isis direction to carry out an attack against a large crowd. >> reporter: earlier this month, isis posted an online message praising that attack in france and calling on other followers to use speeding vehicles to attack outdoor events, featuring a picture of the new york thanksgiving day parade. now new york police are sending a clear message to not even think about an attack, announcing an unprecedented level of security to guard the balloons, floats, and huge crowds. >> i think that we will have the traditional counterterrorism -- we'll see people out there. the long gun teams also. >> reporter: the new york police will deploy essentially a military battalion of officers. some 5,000 of them assigned to the parade including snipers on the rooftop, 81 huge trucks filled with sand to block vehicles all along the two-mile-long route which passes two big trump properties, robin. >> as always if you see something, say something. >> that's right. >> all right, brian, thank you. now let's go to gio benitez
7:16 am
in cortland, new york, in the middle of the first major snowstorm of the season. standing outside there freezing. gio, creating quite a mess on the roads for a lot of people. >> reporter: oh, what a mess, michael. good morning to you. listen, this is the third straight morning that people here have been waking up to all this snow. can you just imagine having to shovel all of this stuff out? especially when you hear that some parts of this area have 40 inches of snow. overnight winter's first major storm turning deadly. the storm hammering parts of upstate new york, dropping more than 40 inches of snow in some areas. homes buried. the whipping winds and whiteout conditions leaving highways hadardous, littered with wreckage. just take a look at this heart-stopping moment caught on tape. a bus overturning while trying to avoid this spun out car. austin beeching and his family watched in horror as that bus
7:17 am
tipped over. >> we gotta call 911. >> we all rushed over there. there was a bunch of students inside, but they were all okay. we got them out of the emergency exit. >> reporter: of the 40 high school passengers on board, luckily, only 9 suffered minor injuries. and because of the icy conditions near rochester, one person lost their life. as they slid straight into the path of an oncoming tractor trailer, showing just how ferocious this storm has become across new england. >> we have a lot of accidents until people learn to slow down a little bit. >> reporter: you can see the rapid accumulation of snow captured in this time-lapsed video. this could be just the beginning of a lingering travel nightmare as we head into a busy holiday weekend. and so the good news right now is that all this snowfall will stop today. but now attention turning out to the west. that's going to cause some major, major travel problems out there for the holidays, michael. >> all right. thank you, gio. and back here in times square, ginger, you have all the weather coming up for everybody getting ready to travel. for the holidays. >> that's right. wouldn't be thanksgiving if we
7:18 am
didn't have a storm to talk about, right, on your travel so let's kind of time it out for you. the tropical moisture fueling this along the cold front and this low pressure system coming out of the rockies, going to develop some snow, a mix of rain, snow, and sleet in parts of minneapolis. so that's one of the airports that i'd watch and certainly a lot of highways around there, chicago, another hot spot by tomorrow morning, if you have a flight, there will be rain in the region so with a lot of flights going on that's something to note. severe storms this afternoon. eastern texas, southeastern oklahoma, as i mentioned the middle of the country and out west in seattle, oregon and into the sierra if you're driving is a little one to look for, too. so it's looking good. you guys, i have one more. a lot of people yesterday were saying i looked so happy with that first snow. >> you did. >> not as happy as this guy. ready? first snow, western colorado. >> aw. >> i'd say we were competing as to who was happiest. >> yes. but you did look mighty happy out there in your element. >> you stood still, though. >> that's it. we got a lot more coming up. let's get your local weather now

7:22 am
or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. eat up, buddy. you'll get it this time. yeah ok not too quick don't let go until i say so. i got you... start strong with the lasting energy of 100% you're doing it! whole grain quaker oats. and off you go.

oh, get ready for this. welcome back. time now for our big board and we're breaking down more of this morning's top stories. dan abrams is our man at the table. and we're going to start off with the calorie controversy. chipotle is being sued by customers who claim the company's menu misrepresents nutritional information citing the chain's chorizo burrito which is described as having just 300 calories. >> they're saying they got duped. they want to file a class action. they want to put together every person who bought a chorizo burrito assuming that it was 300 calories. now, ready for this? it's not 300 calories, okay. as it turns out and i'm going to put together a quick one for you. you want to put together one of these burritos. let's just say you have the chorizo, 300 calories. the tortilla, 300. black beans, 120. brown rice, 210. cheese, 100. guac, 230. roughly 1200 calories so it's
7:41 am
not really -- so they're basically saying it's a legal matter in california. california is a great place to file this kind of lawsuit. they want to put together all these people who bought them and sue for damages. >> there's a sign that said it was 300 calories, but on their website, chipotle had the accurate calorie count. so does that help them in their legal defense? >> yeah, so that's going to be one of their defenses. one is going to be, look, this wasn't intentional. this was accidental. they say the 300 calories was just the chorizo itself and say you could have gone to our website. also, in these kinds of lawsuits, you have to be able to prove, "a," you bought it. "b," you bought it because it was 300 calories. and you relied on that. and then the question is what are the damages? so even when people win these kinds of lawsuits, it tends to be the price of the burrito. >> yeah. >> that's about it. >> yeah. so it's not like -- anyone is going to get rich over the burrito lawsuit. >> the damages could be to your waistline. that's about it.
7:42 am
>> yeah, exactly. and then they probably settle these kinds of cases. >> absolutely. well, thank you, dan. we move on now to the man, the myth, the legend, prince. he has a new collection of music that is out today, including the never before heard song "moonbeam levels" and chris connelly is joining us with the world exclusive first listen, so let's check it out, everybody. ♪ maybe he wants affection instead of a plastic life ♪ ♪ maybe he doesn't know what he wants at all ♪ ♪ he says please send all your moonbeam levels to me ♪ ♪ please send all your moonbeam levels to me ♪ >> nobody sounds like prince. >> mm-hmm. >> makes you miss him even more. >> it does. it really does. >> chris, this is the first song released from his paisley park vault. what can we expect from the collection? and what does this mean for prince's legacy?
7:43 am
>> let's start with "moonbeam levels" which was recorded, according to princevault.com on july 6, 1982. so it's a 34-year-old song. and was recorded the night of a total lunar eclipse. >> mm. >> how about that? it's never just coincidence with prince. well, the estate says next year they're putting out a refurbished version of "purple rain." and in connection with that, there will be an entire new cd taken of entirely unreleased songs from the vault. this is like shangri-la for prince fans, so much stuff we've been dying to hear it. and it sounds like next year will be our big opportunity. >> so much there, chris. but as you keep referring to, the estate. we're all very aware of this ongoing legal battle. where does that stand right now? >> well, it's a $300 million estate, i guess, by some people's reckoning. and two people are in charge of the music and its distribution and that all seems to be going relatively smoothly. but as far as the estate itself, i guess there's -- he died without an heir, without a spouse, and without a will. so i guess there's a sister and there are five half-siblings.
7:44 am
and they are expected to split things six ways. there have been other people who have attempted to get a piece of this estate. and i -- you know, i think the court has sort of been sorting their way through that. >> dan, i want to ask you. we've seen battles over estates in the past. is there an end in sight to this? how ugly could this one get? >> i think it's going to end pretty soon. as chris mentioned, you have a few people who have come forward and been dismissed. someone said, for example, that prince's family treated them like a son, right? and the answer is, well, no, that's not enough. there's got to be a genetic connection. i think it will get resolved. >> the estate will continue to grow. >> absolutely. >> with the release of phew music like this. >> exactly, exactly. more and more valuable. >> dan, chris, thank you very much. you can listen to the full version of prince's "moonbeam levels" on our live stream listening party that starts at 9:00 a.m. eastern. all right, coming up in two minutes, as millions get ready to travel for thanksgiving, our investigation. what some flight crews say can get into the plane's cabin and make you sick. you don't want to miss that. we'll be right back.

we are back with "gma investigates" as millions get ready to fly for thanksgiving we got an airplane alert about fumes that can enter cabins and make you sick. flight attendants and crew members are calling on airlines to make big changes. and abc's david kerley has the story. >> reporter: emergency vehicles surround a jetliner. the first officer taken away on a stretcher, loaded into an ambulance. the captain of that flight was dave hill. >> we were both feeling bad during the approach and landing. >> reporter: flight attendants, too. the entire crew, even some passengers, reported feeling ill. >> my whole life changed. my health to this day is not the same. >> reporter: exposed, they say, to a neurotoxin leaking into the cabin air during flight. how? because on nearly every jet, the air used to pressurize the cabin, the air you breathe, is directed from the engines. it's called bleed air.
7:48 am
in the engines' oil is an additive containing that toxin. tricresyl phosphate. tcp. if there's an oil leak because of a broken seal or maintenance issues, it could mean fumes in the cabin. creating an odd smell like dirty socks. what do the doctors tell you? >> that i have central nervous system damage. from the chemical. >> reporter: memory loss, balance issues, headaches can result if enough of that chemical is inhaled. the captain says his symptoms were so bad, he was told by the faa he was no longer safe to fly. were you ever in the cockpit again? >> no, that -- that ended my career. >> reporter: they pulled your license? >> pulled my license. >> reporter: the flight attendants union says on average once a day there is a fume event on 1 of the 35,000 flights crisscrossing our country. most incidents don't cause a problem. >> it's a safety issue that the airlines should be addressing. and the regulators should be
7:49 am
making the airlines address it, and they're not. >> reporter: the two main aircraft manufacturers, boeing and airbus say the air on their jets is healthy and safe pointing out that many aircraft have hepa filters. those can capture some but not all of the toxins, according to experts. we decided to check. so on five different flights on four different airlines we tested the air with these monitors. the other test is a swab test. take this swab and run one side over the surfaces to see if any of the chemical is actually present on those surfaces. the results, every swab picked up traces of that chemical tcp which could be due to an accumulation from several flights. and the air monitors? while they didn't find the chemical, they did find evidence of small amounts of jet engine oil, which would suggest a leak. but while these oil leaks and fumes are possible, experts and even those who have been affected say the risk to passengers is low. what do i do when i get on a plane? how do i protect myself?
7:50 am
>> there is no way. >> you should be worried about this. you should be aware of it. >> reporter: for "good morning america," david kerley, abc news, washington. >> the faa responded to this and say the air is safe on the vast majority of flights. but they also admit that air can be contaminated after certain mechanical failures. and the flight attendants union are asking they have all sensors installed to detect the toxins and filter them out. >> that would be reassurining i they were abled to that on all of them. coming up as millions get ready to travel we've got more on the big storm. take a look at that. come on back. coming up "gma's" ultimate cranberry challenge brought to you by ocean spray cranberries. the unofficial official fruit of the holidays. oliday time, and no fruit is as versatile as our ocean spray cranberries, which is why we're declaring it "the unofficial official fruit of the holidays." the fig's gonna be so bummed.
