place and looking ahead to its restoration. daylight now pouring through the gaping holes of the roof, revealing the destruction below. black ash covers everything. aisles flooded. the once vaulted ceiling reduced to this steaming pile of timber. here lies the remains of the spire, the world saw crashing down. the damage devastating of the 12-hour inferno. more than 500 firefighters beating back the blaze using water from the nearby seine river. ancient relics like the claimed crown of thorns rescued. these before and after photos show the destruction. where the faithful once sat, now piles of masonry lay idle. the high altar, once in darkness, now open to the elements in the light of day. surrounded by memories of what was here before. president macron addressed his nation said he hopes to reconstruct the cathedral within five years. there's a great deal to be rebuilt, he said, we'll make the

cathedral of notre dame even more beautiful. experts say it could take more than a decade to restore. one of the biggest challenges, rebuilding its 800-year-old roof, known as the forest. it was built from the wood of roughly 13,000 oak trees. today, new technologies will be needed. when do you think it will be open to the public again? >> i don't know. three years. >> reporter: it should be closed for three years? >> we need to create a new roof. >> reporter: the donations for the restoration are rolling in. so far incredibly nearly a billion dollars has been pledged, and the bulk of that is from large companies. louis vuitton, apple, all over the world. meanwhile, the pope has been offering his prayers again this morning. but some people are asking, if the church, a very wealthy institution should also be donating funds. amy? >> an interesting question, indeed. james, thank you. and we should mention in the

wake of the notre dame fire, money is also pouring in to save those historically black churches destroyed in louisiana by an arson suspect, so far they have raised $750,000. that is some good news. >> that is good news right there. amy, thanks. to the white house now, where president trump issued the second veto of his presidency overnight rejecting a call from congress to end the u.s. involvement in the yemen civil war. this comes as attorney general william barr's edited report tomorrow. we bring in cecelia vega. cecelia, some of the president's strongest allies oppose his policy. >> reporter: yeah, george. this opposition came from a broad, bipartisan group on capitol hill, and it was widely seen as a rebuke to the president's close ties to saudi arabia in the wake of last year's murder of journalist jamal khashoggi. on this veto president trump issued a statement to congress. take a look at what he wrote. he said, quote, this resolution

is an unnecessary dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities. the u.n. calls the situation in yemen the world's most severe humanitarian crisis. it does not appear congress has the votes to override this veto. >> they do not. meant, meanti meantime, as we said, attorney general barr expected to release the mueller report redacted version. overnight, he introduced a new policy in support of the president's crack down on migrants trying to come to the united states. >> reporter: yeah, we're talking about thousands of people this could to potentially affect. people waiting for their asylum claims to be processed. they could be stuck in detention for years. they used to be able to ask a judge for bond for release. they'll have to wait for their claim is adjudicated. this doesn't apply to migrant families and children. it already is facing strong opposition. the aclu says the constitution does not allow our government to lock up asylum seekers without basic due process. >> we can expect this to be in the courts again. cecelia, thank you very much.

george, now to the severe weather threat. tens of millions are in path of possible tornadoes, high wind and hail as a major storm moves across the country. ginger, of course, has the latest. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: good morning, serious threat setting up. let's begin with the storm that did this at interstate 80. up to 5 inches of snow, right there, just enough to shut down westbound lanes. come with me, i'd like to share the major players in play today. that dry line, with the bubbles on it, that's going to divide dry and very moist air. texas into oklahoma into kansas has a chance of seeing supercells where they rise really high in the atmosphere. tap into cold air, and large hail. we're talking about baseball-sized, and the tornado threat goes up to the quad cities. there's kind of two parts to this that we'll be watching today. damaging wind into the overnight. tomorrow it doesn't stop. thursday, right into the deep south. amy? >> all right, a busy spring. thank you, ginger. now to the close call caught on camera. a family outside a restaurant in

napa, when all of a sudden a car came barrelling toward them. our chief national correspondent, abc's matt gutman is in california with that story. scary stuff, matt. >> reporter: extremely scary. good morning, amy. it looks like an explosion outside that restaurant. chairs, planters, tables flying right into those kids. somehow miraculously, they weren't badly hurt. this terrifying crash caught on camera. family narrowly escaping tragedy after stepping out of a restaurant in napa, california, a car losing control and slamming into a plaza that backs up to a residential neighborhood. those two small children seen skipping out of the way, the vehicle and flying debris just barely missing them. watching from inside the restaurant one employee described the shocking scene. >> it was unbelievable. i have never seen anything like that before. you know, other than moviemovied standing behind that counter,

staring out the window, everything was just flying everywhere, tables, pots, chairs, a stop sign, everything. >> reporter: according to local reports, one of the kids and the 60-year-old driver were taken to a hospital with minor injuries. authorities are now investigating. the driver tells police her foot hit the gas instead of the brake. now, the woman hasn't been arrested and is not currently facing any charges. it's scary to think what would have happened had the family left the restaurant a moment later or if there were people dining outside. george? >> that was so close. matt, thanks so much. we turn now to search for a 14-year-old who went missing in ohio on saturday after telling friends he was walking home. police have now spoken to a person of interest. they look for more clues, and abc's alex perez has the story. >> reporter: this morning, the desperate search continues for 14-year-old jonathan minard. missing since saturday. >> we want to look for any type of evidence or the subject himself. >> reporter: over 100 volunteers

joining the carroll county police department searching for the 14-year-old. the search spanning about six miles. his aunt and uncle a part of the search efforts describing what the boy's parents are going through. >> they're devastated. they're lost. his mom is ready to have a breakdown, his dad, too. they feel helpless because they can't do anything. >> reporter: according to police, he was staying with friends over the weekend and working at a nearby farm. on saturday, minard complaining of a toothache said he was going to walk home and call his mother. his mother never received that phone call. >> i'm actually hopeful that he's alive, yes, because he's -- like i said, he's a good kid. >> reporter: police saying they interviewed a person of interest but no charges have been filed at this time. more than a hundred volunteers have showed up for that search. loved ones say they will not stop looking until they find him. robin? >> hopefully he'll be found soon. thank you. now to new developments in

that major measles outbreak. health officials have identified patient zero who brought the virus to michigan. the man visiting from new york did not know he was infected and spread measles to dozens of people. linsey davis is here with more. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, robin. communities across the country are taking drastic measures. rockland county, new york, for kpa example is threatening a fine for anyone threatening or exposed with measles who enter public areas. just one attempt to stop this measles outbreak which has now raged for seven months. this morning, health officials in michigan say they found their patient zero. the man who they say spread the measles virus to dozens of people. according to "the washington post," health officials say the unidentified man came to the u.s. from israel last fall. contracting measles some time during his stay in new york. then he drove from new york to

michigan, showing symptoms along the way. he saw a doctor who initially misdiagnosed him with bronchitis. he infected 39 people in the detroit area before officials tracked him down. the head of oakland county emergency services telling the "washington post" he put his head down and was very emotional. i could tell from the look on his face that he was devastated. he was doing the math in his head, counting all the people he had been in contact with. those sickened are part of a nationwide outbreak that's infected 555 people in 20 states from coast to coast. five mothers in new york city filed a lawsuit yesterday trying to block the city's mandatory vaccination order in areas hardest hit by the outbreak. health officials tell abc these measles outbreaks predominantly infecting unvaccinated children. they say the vaccine is 97% effective and very safe, certainly safer than getting the measles. >> wow. thank you very much, linsey. now to that royal baby backlash. british tabloids are up in arms over prince harry and duchess meghan's decision to opt out of

the traditional baby photo op after baby sussex is born. abc's david wright has all the latest from london. >> reporter: this morning, british tabloids are not calm, nor carrying on after the duke and duchess of sussex said they will not be giving the traditional photo op to debut their newborn baby, members of the press corps are lashing out at the royal couple. speaking anonymously one journalist told "the new york times" this is the shattering of a tradition that goes back for decades. there is a price to be paid for that, and that price is mockery. the iconic shots on steps outside the hospital are now to be expected. famously with diana after william and harry were born. kate who stepped out mere hours after giving birth to her last child. those snapshots are big business for the british tabloids with royal babies grabbing big headlines and frontpage spreads. but the sussexes are now

expected to release photos on their own terms adding to the rocky and sour relationship meghan has with the british press. >> if you are over-micromanaging your p.r. to the extent you're missing out on the spontaneous moments. there are certain responsibilities as a member of the royal family. >> reporter: "the sun" slams the couple writing, the public has a right to know about the lives of those largely funded by their taxes. you can accept that or be private citizens. not both. one british newspaper columnist blasting the couple's decision ridiculed the couple's relationship with oprah winfrey writing, perhaps oprah has snapped up the exclusive first-look baby rights. i wouldn't put it past her or them. >> releasing a photograph is good. it's not going to have the same impact as moving footage, the live moments. >> reporter: but not all royal watchers agree, noting that what the sussexes are

doing aren't different from william and kate. >> they'll have their baby. we'll find out that he or she has been born. they are going to pose for a photograph within a few days. >> reporter: bottom line the tabloids don't want to retweet royal pictures. they want to be there to capture the moment. guys? >> yeah, they have rights. no. david, thank you, but that's a tough crowd over there. >> it sure is. >> i like saying sussexes. >> that's tough to say in itself. thank you, amy. now the stunning sweep overnight. the columbus blue jackets swept the best team in the nhl, a surprising triumph over the lightning. the lightning, remember, they tied the regular-season record with wins with 62. but fell short. very short in the first round of the playoffs against the underdog blue jackets and as you can imagine the fans they went nuts. they have been waiting for this victory for 18 years. their center said, quote, he had never played in front of a crowd like that. insane is the word he used.

that pretty much sums up the mood for everybody. >> is that a new dance? >> surprising the world this morning. also this morning wendy williams' husband is now speaking out after the she filed for divorce. his message for wendy this morning. another rideshare nightmare. take a look at this. this is the moment police say a man, posing as a driver, followed his passenger into her apartment building and robbed her. now she's telling her story as police search for that suspect. but first, let's go back to ginger. >> i'm not going to get dropped off at home anymore. i'll get dropped off down the street. how about this, i've got to show you the flash flooding in virginia from that last line of strong to severe storms. we'll have that again on good friday along the east coast. north carolina, south carolina and virginia. your local weather in 30 seconds. first amazon echo brings you the stormy cities.

>> reporter: it was another record koch was expected to set, the first all-female space walk with mcclain, but that didn't work out. she has been on a space walk with fellow astronaut nick hague, and she now prepares for her very long stay. >> if i'm fortunate enough to do that and inspires people on the ground, of course, that's my honor to be a part of. >> reporter: so, koch may set this record for an american woman. if her return gets delayed by a couple of weeks, she could beat scott kelly's mark as well. we're learning about how humans can do for a long time in space, amy. >> that's amazing. out of this world girl power. thank you so much for bringing this to us. let's go to our other resident girl power, ginger. >> thank you, amy. thank you. i'm so excited for her, by the way. you know, we've got time for "gma" pollen report. sponsored by zyrtec. that's pollen on a lake.

now nearly $1.5 trillion, and it can take decades for people to pay off. mike rowe, the former host of "dirty jobs" wants to change that by focusing on the value of skilled trade. he's helping students move past the debt, take on in demand work like carlin, and you're going to see her story right thousand. >> all right. let's do it. >> reporter: it's all in day's work for carlin mcclellan. >> good job. thank you. >> reporter: but in 2002, she was headed down a different path. she wasn't carrying tools. she was carrying $60,000 in student loan debt starting a career as a probation officer. >> i was told student loan debt is good debt. you'll get a job, you'll pay it off. >> reporter: except it would take her 15 years. by the time she was 36, the then-stay at home mother of two was ready to try something new, something more hands-on, and in

the construction field. >> i was about two weeks into my program when i realized i should have done construction my whole entire life. i didn't even realize any of these opportunities existed. no one ever talked to me about this path. >> my name is mike rowe. that's my job. >> reporter: someone who's helping to spread the word about skilled trades is "dirty jobs'" host mike rowe. >> thank you for helping close the skills gap. >> reporter: through his foundation, he has granted over $5 million to help over 1,000 students pursue a technical or vocational education, including carlin. >> i'm applying for your work ethic scholarship program. >> reporter: thanks to her scholarship, she graduated with a construction trades degree in 2018. >> i wasn't going to go if i couldn't get the funding. it was huge. >> reporter: today, carlin is a licensed contractor with a renewed purpose. >> the most amazing thing about this job is you can walk away from a project and go, i built that. >> and mike rowe the founder of of microworks foundation is

here. now fwgive it up for the man. [ applause ] who knew? >> hi. >> good to see you again. >> you were going to do it and you did it. >> we were at a speaking gig together down in mexico. >> yep. >> i heard him talk about this, and i said, you have got to get on tv and let people know what you are doing. >> i said, no. not that. not tv. >> i don't have a voice for tv. let's talk about her story and others. she had no idea. she had no idea. >> most people don't. we have 7 million jobs right now that are open. vast majority don't require a four-year degree. so, there's a ton of opportunities that people don't talk about. what we're talking about instead unfortunately is the best path for most people. a cookie cutter approach on how to figure things out. for the last 40 years, that path has been really simple. get a four-year degree, borrow whatever it takes to get it and get out into the world and pursue your dream. and what's happened as a result

in my view, is that skills gap has gotten wider, the debt that you just mentioned is now approaching $1.6 trillion actually, and we're lending money we don't have to kids who can't pay it back to train kids for jobs that don't exist anymore. it's madness. my foundation looks for people who are willing to hit the reset button, retool, learn a skill that's in demand and then get to work. >> it's about perception. when you talk about trade schools and community college, there's a certain -- people have a certain impression about that, that we have got to eliminate. >> we're in a binary time right now. everything is this or that. blue collar or white collar, left or right. right? everything is framed with kind of a false choice. so, your choice isn't college or oblivion. it's not higher education versus alternative education. there are so many ways to go from apprenticeships, to scholarships to fellowships, to community college. all of it -- >> yes.

>> is equal. so when you promote one form of education at the expense of the others, you create the problem that we're having right now. >> mm-hmm. >> it's feiine to say -- it's fe to push college, but you can't push college by saying if you don't go over here, you're going to wind up with some vocational consolation price. carlin proves that. >> it's not a consolation prize at all. geoffrey owen, the actor from "the cosby show," he was trying to be shamed for working at trader joe's. i remember him saying, a job is a job. one may look better on a resume than another. but a job is a job. there is no such thing as a bad job. >> microworks evolved out of "dirty jobs," and part of the reason is it did, never mind the fact it was a hit. that was great. >> you just put that in there, right? >> yeah. what freaked people out watching it was the cognitive dissonance

that occurs when you see somebody doing something that's supposed to make you miserable but it makes you joyful. why is everybody laughing in the sewer? why is everybody having sup such a good time doing these jobs that i'm taught will be make me sad and unhappy? the reason is you have been lied to most of your life. the job is not the proximate cause of your happiness. you are. >> amen about that. you know, mike, follow your passion. follow your passion. find a way to get paid for it. you have a little twist on that. >> we all want to be passionate about what we do. why would we wait until we're doing the magical thing that allows you to passionate? you don't follow your passion. bring it with you. that was one of the lessons from dirty jobbers. they were passionate about what they were doing, but they didn't sit down and say, what do i have to do to be happy? i need this job.

i need this kind of mate. i need to live in this zip code and need this education. you spend all your life checking boxes that basically give you permission to feel good about the thing you ought to feel good about right now. these are very basic lessons. i have become disconnected. >> really? >> oh, sure. i became disconnected from food came. you take it all for granted. this is part of the reason why the skills gap is so acute. it's part of the reason why the debt is so high. we have to push back. >> you're doing that with your foundation. thank you for the work that you are doing. say hello to your mama. next, i want to get your mom on the show. >> believe me, my mother comes here, we're all out of a job. we'lbe right back. job. we'll be right back.

the ice and he was underwater for 15 minutes. he was lifeless, no pulse, no nothing for 15 hours. they bring the mother into the room to say good-bye. she begins -- comes into the room refuses to believe that he's gone and so she starts praying and speaking to her god and his pulse comes back. then, the story goes through what happened after that. the doctors say, a, no way he'll be able to survive this. she said no, my son is going to be completely fine. the story of what happens with the doctors and everybody but our relationship, even though i'm quite religious in the movie and in real life he was as well, he had a lot of doubts. it's a really remarkable story and a remarkable testament to

faith and prayer and it's a fascinating fim m to say the least. >> here's a little bit of that right now. >> melissa thinks that everyone is waiting for john to die. it's just taking longer than they expected. >> what do you think. >> i'm sorry, but i think she's right. i can see it their faces and everyone's face. except -- >> mine. i believe god can heal our son completely. >> i know you do.

accurately told down to the filmmakers, this happened at this can exact moment. when people see the movie, they'll see there's a really strict code that we had to extent to tell the story. my son and i went to the premiere. we sat with joyce smith, the real mom and real son. they kept leaning back. this exactly what happened. this is exactly what happened. to the point where i had to be like, shh. you guys have seen the movie, i haven't. you know, i think part of the thing, the responsibility you have when you tell a true story if the people are still alive and around for them to be proud of the movie and they are -- they love the movie. you see it in them when you're around them. >> also very accurate the basketball scenes because of the executive producer steph curry and he was very much involved.

willing to con-sign yourself to. but willing to know more about you and be willing to do whatever it is to pursue your destiny from your own experience, not what someone who has led you to believe. unless of course, if it speaks to your higher self by all means. >> i posted on instagram. i'm reading this book "limitless." there's quote, don't allow -- the author, i encourage you not to give a vote on your life that shouldn't even have a voice. what would you tell yourself? if you look back, what would you tell yourself? >> the best way i could do it is -- ♪ don't stop believin' ♪ hold on to the feelin'
