revealing she wasn't even supposed to be piloting that plane and the passengers speaking out about trying to save that mom who was nearly sucked out of the window. the first interviews only on "gma" this morning. outrage growing over this incident at yale university. a black student napping in her dorm's common room when a white student calls the police. the confrontation caught on camera. a family on safari when they decide to take pictures and cheetahs pounce. what a close call. and we do say good morning, ica. great to have you on this friday morning. >> yes, it is. that family is lucky to be with us on this friday morning. first rule of safari, don't get out the car. >> uh-huh. >> when you're there. stay in your car. very fortunate this family -- the cheetahs surrounding them, had a young infant with them as well. very fortunate.

mom was calm enough to walk back to the car. very fortunate that it all ended the way it did. >> get in and lock the door. we begin with president trump riding high at a rally in indiana last night after north korea's release of the three american prisoners. the president is revealing new details about that meeting with kim jong-un set for singapore in june. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega starts us off with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. june 12th not at the dmz as president trump had said he wanted. singapore is neutral territory. we have come a long way from the fire and fury and rocketman rhetoric. president trump now says america's relationship with north korea is good. >> america is being respected again. >> reporter: president trump boasting about what no other american president has ever done, have a face-to-face with the leader of north korea. >> i'll be meeting with kim jong-un to pursue a future of peace. we're going to set the table.

we're going to make a great deal for the world for north korea, for south korea, for japan, for china. >> reporter: at a campaign rally in indiana overnight, the president sounding hopeful, sort of. >> i think it's going to be a very big success. but my attitude is, and if it isn't, it isn't. >> reporter: the president took to twitter to announce the details of the historic summit, june 12th in singapore. critics already sounding the alarm. >> i worry that this president in his eagerness to strike a deal and get the acclaim and a photo-op will strike a quick one and a bad one, not a strong one. not a lasting one. >> reporter: but president trump still feeling victorious after that historic homecoming. the three american prisoners held for years and subjected to hard labor. >> and we welcome them back home the proper way. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: grateful smiles as they met the president and first lady moments after touching down

just outside the nation's capital. overnight president trump slipping in a dig at president obama saying his predecessor had to pay ransom in order to free hostages from iran while he got the three detainees from north korea out for free. >> in all fairness, obama, president obama -- [ booing ] -- paid $1.8 billion for hostages. those hostages came out with respect, we didn't pay for them. >> reporter: in fact, the former president freed up tehran's own money, saying it coincided with the release of the americans from jail. that comment raising a lot of eyebrows this morning. so an administration official here says it is now looking like this summit is just going to last for one day. of course, that summit in

singapore. there is the possibility that other world leaders may be in attendance but so far, george, the white house is saying they're not demanding kim meet any preconditions ahead of that summit. >> on another front, a cabinet meeting on wednesday got pretty raucous and we're learning that president trump pushed one cabinet secretary almost to the breaking point. >> reporter: yeah, this is the homeland security secretary, kirstjen nielsen. we're told by a source who was in this meeting this week that the president berated her. he is very unhappy about the recent rise in the number of illegal border crossings. we're told by a course in the meeting the attorney general jeff sessions sold nielsen down the river saying she could arrest people at the border if she wanted to. the dhs is denying she drew up a resignation letter. there's outrage over comments a white house aide made about senator john mccain saying his criticism about the cia director nominee doesn't matter because he's dying. let's go to our senior congressional correspondent mary

bruce on capitol hill with more on this and, of course, this is getting a lot of reaction. >> reporter: yeah, robin, that reaction has been one of outrage and swift condemnation. one u.s. official telling us these comments are despicable, vile and completely unacceptable. overnight, swift backlash after a white house aide dismissed senator john mccain's opposition to the president's nominee to lead the cia, saying, it doesn't matter. he's dying anyway. mccain is battling brain cancer. his wife cindy mccain responding directly to the white house communications aide, kelly sadler, tweeting, may i remind you my husband has a family, seven children and five grandchildren. mccain's close friend senator lindsey graham reportedly saying nobody is laughing in the senate. the white house does not deny the comment and has not apologized. but in a statement says we respect senator mccain's service to our nation and he and his family are in our prayers during this difficult time.

mccain has come out forcefully against trump's pick for cia director, gina haspel, saying her role in overseeing the use of torture by americans is disturbing. her refusal to acknowledge torture's immorality is disqualifying. mccain spent more than five years as a prisoner of war in vietnam and during horrific treatment and cruel conditions, but on fox yesterday retired air force lieutenant general thomas mcinerney disparaged his experience during a debate on torture. >> the fact is john mccain, it worked on john. that's why they call him song bird john. >> reporter: but mccain never bent to pressure while being tortured, and there is no evidence he ever cooperated with his captors. the host of that program was quick to apologize and said he didn't hear the comment. >> if i heard what he said the right way i would have pushed back. i didn't. i blew it. those reprehensible comments do

not reflect how i feel or how this network feels about senator mccain. >> reporter: there is another apology he has yet to receive, one from the president who famously questioned his past during the campaign. >> he's not a war hero. >> he's a war hero, five and a half years -- >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured. >> reporter: gina haspel's pick is also weighing in and says despite's mccain's opposition to her nomination that i have the utmost respect for senator mccain and i appreciate the thoughtfulness with which he's approached this nomination process. >> how is the senator doing this morning? >> reporter: we know he is still at home in arizona. his good pal lindsey graham, though, says that mccain appeared better than expected, stronger than he expected during one of their recent visits. the two discussed plenty of work but also even watched their favorite western movie together. as for that white house staffer, kelly sadler, she has yet to

comment publicly although reportedly did give meghan mccain a call to apologize and meghan is going to speak out about all this on "the view" later this morning. >> oh, i'm sure that will happen. all right, mary, thanks so much. mary -- michael. >> i look like mary. severe storms are sweeping across the country, more than 25 million americans are in the storm zone and ginger is tracking it all. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. i don't know if you saw that lightning show over new york city but it was pretty impressive and not just the danger from lightning but from trees falling. look at this. in maryland that tree falling straight down 60-mile-per-hour winds and you saw a lot of damage. one was killed in richmond, virginia, because of a tree branch falling on him so there is more of this threat where that came from. that stationary front connected with a couple of lows going to give a pocket of severe storms for the rockies, parts of colorado, nebraska and wyoming and then it spreads out tomorrow. if you have outdoor plans from illinois through ohio into

pennsylvania, something to watch for, damaging winds, hail and of course an isolated tornado. michael. >> all right, ginger, we'll keep an eye on that. and in hawaii this morning they're still facing that volcano emergency. overnight authorities shutting down the national park indefinitely and the governor there now asking the president to declare a federal disaster asking for financial help. this comes as lava spreads across hawaii's big island experts fear it could blow its top in the coming day and hurl ash and boulders miles into the air. the volcano has already destroyed at least 36 structures and forced nearly 2,000 people to evacuate. >> that really is something. we'll turn now to an incident sparking anger at yale where a white student called police to confront a black student who fell asleep in the common area of their dorm. that student posted a video of her encounter with police on social media and abc's linsey davis here with all the fallout. good morning. >> reporter: and lots of fallout there is. good morning, george. yale university says police admonished the student who made the call.

there is growing frustration in the black community. the headline on one website, taking a nap, add that to the list of things you can't do while black. outrage over this confrontation at yale university. >> i have every right to call the police. >> reporter: this white student called police on a black graduate student who fell asleep while writing a paper in the dorm's common area. four officers respond. >> once we verify that you're a resident here then we'll be on our way. >> reporter: lolade siyonbola unlocks her door to prove that she lives there. police still want to see her i.d. she turns it over but is detained more than 15 minutes when her name doesn't match their records. she tells police the same woman called police on her friend in march. that student says when he asked her for directions she responded -- >> you're making me uncomfortable. i don't feel safe around you.

you're an intruder. you need to get out. you need to leave. you need to get out. >> reporter: now growing frustration in the black community. the headline on one website, add taking a nap in your dorm common room to the list of things you can't do while black. situations like this are becoming all too common. earlier this week the president of nordstrom rack apologized to three black teens falsely accused of trying to steal clothing from a st. louis store. >> this is from an airbnb. >> reporter: two weeks ago police swarmed this airbnb in california after three black house guests checking out were accused of being burglars then the starbucks case which made national headlines after two black men were arrested after waiting to meet someone inside this philadelphia starbucks. overnight yale's president released a statement saying we must neither condone nor excuse racism, prejudice or discrimination at yale. to that end the university plans to hold listening sessions to inspire more conversations about inclusiveness and it is a national conversation. #livingwhileblack.

it's to highlight different examples to say, hey, it's hard out here for black people because the rules are different. >> unfortunately, there are so many examples. >> so many. >> thank you. now to new developments in the golden state killer case. joseph deangelo is facing new charges this morning, four counts of murder in santa barbara, 12 murder charges now in all. abc's whit johnson has the latest. >> reporter: this morning, a wave of new charges piling up against joseph deangelo. the suspected serial killer accused of terrorizing california in the '70s and '80s. the santa barbara district attorney slapping the 72-year-old former police officer with four additional counts of murder. >> violent cold cases never grow cold for victims or their loved ones. >> reporter: the new charges stemming from two brutal cold cases including the 1979 murders of dr. robert offerman and debra alexandria manning. william and joan oakley were supposed to play tennis with the pair the next morning. instead they say they discovered

their friends' bodies inside their condo. >> i still, if i ever see a light on on a porch and it's in the morning, i always think of bob and, you know, it bothers me. it brings back a lot of memories. >> reporter: authorities also charging deangelo with the 1981 double murder of gregory sanchez and his girlfriend sherry domingo and now law enforcement agencies across the state are digging deep into their files reportedly looking into whether deangelo could be linked to other crimes like the cordova cat burglar attacks in the early '70s near eastern sacramento. >> so we know that there are allegations of him being prolific. now it's a matter of finding out if we know about everything and then really finding out about the details of each one of those. >> reporter: now, deangelo remains behind bars without bail in sacramento. sources tell us prosecutors were able to obtain photographs of

deangelo's body, fingerprints and additional dna. he's expected back in court on monday. michael. >> all right, thank you, whit and we're going to go to an investigation that's under way into a deadly tesla crash that killed two teenagers. the car burst into flames after slamming into a wall in florida. investigators are now focusing on the fire in the car's battery. abc's david kerley is at a tesla dealership in washington this morning. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, michael. tesla's now the subject of a few different investigations in this latest deadly incident. the investigation is looking less at the crash and more at what followed. it was a high-speed crash of a tesla model s but it's the fire that followed which is under investigation this morning. a fire so intense bystanders couldn't help the two ft. lauderdale high school seniors. >> no one could help and that crushed us.

>> reporter: while the teens are being mourned the fire is drawing the attention of federal investigators and regulators because this is not the first time a tesla powered by an electric battery rather than gas has been engulfed in flames. that march accident involving a tesla auto pilot system in mountain view, california also had a fire. abc news has confirmed from an investigative source that the battery from that vehicle towed to an impound lot in the wreckage reignited nearly a week later. all these batteries are lithium ion and can hold a lot of power but a short or breach can lead to overheating, explosions and fires. we've seen it in phones, e-cigarettes, hover boards and many other devices. cars contain thousands of the batteries. >> the lithium battery is not intrinsically safe. the phone has one battery and a car has 7,000 batteries so the likelihood of something going wrong in a car is much more than the phone. >> reporter: tesla tells us in a statement serious high-speed collisions can result in a fire

but adds that tesla data shows a gas car in the united states is five times more likely to experience a fire. now, it's not just the batteries that investigators want to know about in these tesla vehicles. they also want to study how firefighters responded to these incidents and how these damaged batteries are transported after an accident. as we mentioned, michael, one reignited nearly a week later. >> all right, thank you very much, david. we're sure a lot of people out there driving teslas are thinking about that. now to that close encounter. wh one family decided to make themselves a little too close to a family of cheetahs. >> stay in your car. >> exactly. the family of five decided to get out of their car when they were suddenly surrounded by cheetahs, the fastest meat eaters on the planet. thank goodness for mom. she managed to stay cool and calm. got herself and her baby back into the car safely and i'm sure the cheetahs ran up and said,

what are you guys doing out there? >> they were saying get back in your car too. >> yeah. it's only in those final moments you can see the family's relief but i've been on safari -- >> of course. >> i'm scared to use the bathroom by myself. it's that scary. >> tmi. back with ginger, moving east this weekend? >> oh my goodness. i don't know if that was calm or shock. quick, could see records this weekend south of that jet stream.

our martha raddatz is here. you had the opportunity -- the privilege to sit down with the nerves of steel. >> absolute nerves of steel. in fact, tammie jo shults wasn't even supposed to be flying that day. she switched shifts with her husband. he was supposed to be flying. she wanted to go to the track meet of their 18-year-old son. >> reporter: it was just 20 minutes into the packed southwest flight from new york city to dallas when captain tammie jo shults and first officer darren ellisor knew something was wrong. >> we were passing through 32,000 feet when we had a large bang and a rapid decompression. >> we have a fire in number one. >> reporter: the number one engine on the left side of the plane had broken into pieces hurling shrapnel through the air. >> it was rather radical and it yawed and then it began its own descent. it was a bit of a rough shudder.

>> the whole thing was shaking? >> uh-huh. yes. >> a lot. >> yes. >> what did you think had happened? >> my immediate reaction was a seizure of the engine. it was very disorienting to have all these things happen at once and i actually couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on. >> reporter: neither could the 144 terrified passengers on board. >> and it shifted the plane badly. so badly that this flight attendant walking toward me grabbed ahold of the seat, kind of stumbled and almost fell. >> reporter: some frantically wrote good-bye messages to loved ones. >> so i spent a lot of my time trying to articulate what i wanted my final words to be. >> reporter: immediately began dropping and oxygen masks fell and it was terrifying. >> almost immediately i felt the rush of wind and all the while

you have all these oxygen masks that are dangling in the air and now they're waving violently in the air. >> reporter: that broken engine also hurling a chunk of metal shattering the window at seat 14a where passenger jennifer riordan was sitting causing a violent whirlwind of depressurization that sucked her halfway out of the plane. holly mackey was two seats over in 14c. when you first looked over and saw jennifer what did you see? >> from about her rib cage, the bottom part of her rib cage up was out the window. >> reporter: only the seat belt kept jennifer from being pulled all the way out of the plane. holly dropped her life-saving air mask and tried to help. >> i had leaned over to try to pull jennifer in and the plane had rolled and that -- that was my four seconds of terror where i thought -- >> was it rolling towards the

open window? >> yeah, we were going towards the open window and i really thought well, we are going to go down. >> reporter: it would take the strength of several passengers including tim mcginty fighting the enormous pressure to pull jennifer back inside the plane, but it appeared to be too late. >> she was gone when you got there? >> i think so. i mean you didn't know at the time. >> reporter: as flight 1380 is rapidly descending, shults and ellisor each put on their oxygen masks. she a former navy fighter pilot. he an air force veteran. ellisor was at the controls when the engine failed and the moments afterward shults taking over for the landing. >> he started and then i put mine on and then we had some switchology to do to be able to communicate through the mask and then it was really just back to flying, aviate, communicate, navigate. in the navy there is a saying whatever it takes. >> reporter: one of the air traffic controllers guiding the

aircraft down, cory davids speaking now for the first time. >> she was so calm, so nerves of steel and almost brought a calm to me, to us too. us air traffic controllers, when someone declares something as serious as this you can tell the strain in the voice, something is really wrong. with her it was just another day in the office. >> everybody, breathe. we're almost landing. everybody, breathe. we are almost there. >> southwest 1380 has an engine fire, descending. >> is your airplane physically on fire? >> no, it's not on fire but part of it's missing. >> they said there's a hole and someone went out. >> i'm sorry. you said there was a hole and somebody went out? >> it must have been a punch in the gut when you heard someone was injured. >> that's when we decided it was time to go land. >> did you worry you might not make it? >> no. >> never. >> no. >> never. >> as long as you have altitude and ideas you're okay. we had both.

>> you could feel their emotion when they were talking about jennifer riordan and we're still thinking of their family. both former military pilots. tear composure, martha. >> their composure is incredible and they are delightful people to talk to, but that steady calm, as he said, nerves of steel, that's why they were able to land that aircraft. that training really, really kicked in for them. >> yeah, to see all the passengers, you know, helping out as best they could. many were texting their family and friends. the pilots waited until they got on the ground before -- >> they waited until they got on the ground and a wonderful story that tammi jo tells us. her son is about to go to the air force academy. that's how you rebel when you have two navy aviators -- and she texted him and she said, i landed on a single engine. her son flies a single engine plane and he said, mom, i land on a single engine every day. >> oh, my goodness. >> can never impress the teenagers, right. >> no, no, no.

i know you're going to have -- >> great people. great crew. those flight attendants were amazing. >> reminds me so much of captain sullenberger and how he gave credit to the crew and the flight attendants and all and it's the same in this case. >> teamwork. like all of us. >> and you can see much more of martha's interview with the heroes of southwest pilots tonight on "20/20" at 10:00 p.m. eastern right here on abc. michael. >> coming up inside amazon's home of the future. would you let alexa control everything from your blinds to locks on your door? we're trying it out this morning on "gma." we're trying it out this morning. on "gma." to most people, i look like... ...most people. but on the inside, i feel chronic, widespread pain. fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i'm glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief from fibromyalgia pain, and improves function.

check your heart health when you go in for a visit and jen is here to tell us about these new recommendations. >> good morning. this is huge news in women's health. really the first time that the nation's ob/gyn association collaborated with the american heart association, why? because we're talking about the number one killer of women in this country which is heart disease and the fact that it has been recognized that ob/gyns are the definitive primary care physicians that most women see so not to discuss risk factors for heart disease and do screening for those risk factors is a massive missed opportunity over the course of a woman's lifetime. >> we are hearing more and more about the gender differences when it comes to that. can you explain more? it's not just about what causes heart disease differently in women than men. it's not just about the fact they can have different symptoms. if you look at these risk factors this is staggering. for the same risk factor when you put it head-to-head, diabetes, a woman with diabetes has a 19% increased risk of heart disease.

a man with diabetes only a 10% increase. if you take an obese woman, that increases her risk for heart disease by 64%, in an obese man, just 46% so when you look at these risk factors that are identifiable oftentimes at your well woman ob/gyn checkup this is a target to risk reduction in terms of behavior, lifestyle and in some cases medication. >> give us a bottom line. >> women need to know their reproductive health issues that occur in pregnancy and in gynecology that are known to be stress tests for women. they are risk factors for future heart disease so just under pregnancy you're talking about gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, a preterm delivery, polycystic ovarian syndrome which affects about 10% of woman and hormone use. these are in the ob/gyn primary care wheelhouse and known to affect a woman's risk of heart disease so very exciting. one hand has to talk to the other now.

>> how is that going to work? >> look, our women can actually educate their doctors. when they go to their doctors say did you know now you're supposed to be collaborating with the cardiology colleagues. in my family, my father is a cardiologist so this has been in nye blood but i'm so happy to see this official collaboration happening. >> i can hear women calling and saying, i saw dr. jen on "gma" and she said -- what happened was -- >> you better talk to your colleagues, exactly. >> let's talk to these two over here. another health issue. >> i say listen to jen. nothing but great advice. now we go to a fitness trend taking off on social media with the #gainingweightiscool and it's all about focusing on your health instead of the number on the scale. eva pilgrim is here with the details. >> none of us like the scale. it's not anything we usually want to get on. who hasn't dreamed of ditching their bathroom scale? that's exactly what one fitness blogger did and now thousands of women may be following suit.

♪ the dreaded scale. for so many it's made weight loss all about the numbers. >> like so many women i went through the i want to work out to be skinny and fit into a certain size. >> reporter: but now move over, scale. a grassroots fitness trend is popping up all over social media using the #gainingweightiscool and instead of focusing on how much you weigh, a new shift in emphasizing overall health. it all started when this fitness blogger posted a photo captioned gaining weight is cool. >> i gained like 20 pounds and like that whole year i was super depressed about it. >> reporter: she gained some weight and realized she didn't look terrible after all. >> when i looked back at the pictures i didn't see 20 pounds. >> reporter: it blew up from there. getting hundreds of responses like thank you for helping me realize that gaining weight is okay and i am so on board with this. #idontweighmyselfanymore.

>> i get messages literally every single day from women telling me it helps them, so that's just amazing. >> reporter: with the nation's obesity epidemic on the rise celebrity trainer and nutritionist harley pasternak says the message is right, but with a small tweak. >> hashtag don't weigh yourself is cool, hashtag live a moderate healthy lifestyle is cool. >> reporter: in fact, he thinks no good can come from getting on that scale. >> that scale can really affect you, make you depressed, make you do extreme things as a reaction to seeing that number. >> reporter: many medical experts say the scale is a useful tool initially to evaluate health on a weekly or monthly schedule but day to day it's not helpful. do not torture yourself getting on the scale every day, people. >> i think we all have done that and most people at home have done that. thank you for that, eva. dr. ashton, you have a degree in nutrition. if you're at home and you're going to ditch the scale, what

other ways can you track your fitness? >> there have been studies that show people who regularly weigh themselves are better at maintaining their weight but it's not just about that number on the scale. you guys know as former athletes, muscle is a dense tissue and you can be very healthy, very fit and see that number go up so i think the things you should look at, how are your clothes fitting? what is your exercise tolerance? can you walk or run up stairs without being completely winded? how strong do you feel and objective measures. you have to know your blood pressure numbers and total cholesterol and blood sugar. remember, you can be very unhealthy with a low weight number just like you can be healthier with a higher number. >> is there truth to when people say muscle weighs more than fat? >> it's definitely a more dense tissue so when you see people hitting the weights, take a feel for the gun show. >> whoa. >> you can see, you can see that -- >> you should get a license to carry that. >> it's just part of the picture so, again, we really have to

strike for a middle ground here, how you feel and not just those -- what size are your jeans. >> i got off the scale and judge this by the button on my suit. if it feels like it'll fly off and hit an audience member in the eye, i have to cut down on the doughnuts. >> there you go. >> thank you, doc, so much. over to ginger. >> love that discussion. time now for your "gma" moment. so this is when we make you laugh or smile. and i got to say, this kind of reminds me when you're really hungry but you just can't wait to get home and you got to eat that food in the car, that's how 18-month-old franco felt but his mom said don't do it, franco. >> franco anastasia, we are waiting until we get home to eat. he just took a big piece. >> he not only takes one big piece, he keeps reaching in there slyly and will grab more -- look at him with his hand in there. they're in chandler, arizona. he says a lot of it was gone by the time they got home. i feel you, franco. send me your "gma" moments and put them on my facebook page and
