>> michael: dwayne wade's health scare. the nba hall of famer revealing he had nearly half of his kidney removed. we hear from him this morning. >> rebecca: with egg prices sky rocketing, we're on the hunt for the best savings. where gma found a dozen for under $4. ♪ >> michael: overnight music's biggest stars shining bright for southern california. >> we love you, los angeles, and we got your back no matter what. >> michael: raising millions for wild fire recovery, with performances from lady gaga, stevie wonder, sting and more, coming together to help the victims of the fires. >> announcer: live in times square, this is "good morning america." >> george: great to see them coming together to take care of southern california. we hope you are all doing well on this friday morning. >> rebecca: truly, george. coming up, we have details on the first nonopioid pain

medication approved by the fda in decades. great news for families, especially dealing with addiction. >> michael: yeah, some exciting news there. but we begin with the urgent search for answers in the midair disaster that took 67 lives. the airplane's black boxes have been recovered and investigators are beginning to piece together what happened. gonna talk to a member of the ntsb ahead. first our transportation correspondent gio benitez is in washington with the latest. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, michael. good morning. yeah, this is a fast-moving investigation. there are new questions about air traffic control. one person doing the job of two. and, of course, that blackhawk helicopter, why was it apparently flying at 350 feet instead of under 200 as it was supposed to? this morning the urgent investigation into what led to the country's deadliest aviation disaster in decades. the black boxes from the american airlines plane scene here transported in the same water they were pulled from to

preserve the integrity of the recordings, now in the hands of the ntsb for evaluation. >> we do have information. we have data. we have substantial amounts of information. we need to verify information. >> reporter: the u.s. army blackhawk helicopter collided with an american airlines regional jet killing 67 people, no survivors. an early focus for the investigation, the flight path of the helicopter. preliminary data showing it was flying about 350 feet when it should have been under 200. >> as far as altitude, until we get additional information, we can't validate or basically corroborate any of that until we get more of the electronic data. >> pat 25, do you see? >> pat 25 has aircraft in sight. visual separation. >> reporter: one expert said early indications show a tragic sequence of events suggesting the helicopter pilots were looking at the wrong plane. >> when you're required to maintain visual separation, once you acknowledge or ask for visual separation, the controller kind of relaxes thinking, well, this aircraft

sees the other one. >> reporter: a source with direct knowledge confirming reports that the air traffic controller on duty was performing the job normally done by two controllers. this is usually done when there's less air traffic. but wednesday night that change from two controllers to one was made 40 minutes earlier than usual because of lighter traffic. >> did you see that? >> reporter: just after 8:45 p.m. wednesday, american airlines flight 5342 flying towards runway 33 was just 2400 feet left to go. that blackhawk approaching from the other side of the potomac river when the two collided, then crashing into the river. now the tragic recovery operation. about 40 bodies have been pulled from the wreckage. satellite images showing the operation from above, debris sprawled across the water. >> as part of any investigation, we look at the human, the machine and the environment. so we will look at all the humans that were involved in

this accident. we will look at the environment in which they were operating in. that is standard in any part of our investigation. >> reporter: just over 24 hours before wednesday's crash, a different regional jet did what's called a go-around maneuver, when landing at reagan airport due to a blackhawk helicopter in the same area. safety concerns have been increasing in the air space around reagan airport. the airport was designed to accommodate 15 million passenger each year, but now see morse than 25 million a year. congress voted just last year to add more flights. and a reminder here, these investigations are incredibly complicated. in almost every case, the ntsb ends up finding information we just didn't know before and it is highly likely that this is one of those, george. >> george: okay. thank you, gio. we are joined by a member of the ntsb todd inman. mr. inman, thank you for joining us this morning. did you learn anything new overnight? >> we've had a pretty good

development in regard to recovery of not only the voice recorder but the daily recorder. both had been pulled from the crj700 and are currently in our lab. so we're starting the process of not only opening those up, but to begin the extraction of the data. >> george: that's just the beginning. you haven't determined anything from those black boxes yet? >> no, no. it will take several days. the data recorder itself has thousands of data points. they all have to be synchronized against a lot of other things that happened in the plane. the voice recorders have to be auditioned among a number of people so that there's complete agreement of how the transcript will come out. we all look for ancillary noises. maybe a boom or thud or crack or something in the cockpit. those things are going on concurrently, along with the fact we have several hundred people in the field looking at every other aspect of this investigation. >> george: from what you've been able to determine so far was the air traffic system at reagan national overstretched?

>> we don't have any determination of that at this point. we've got a team that's been stood up with a number of professionals that represent not only unions, air traffic controllers, along with individuals that handle the technology in the cab itself. all that will be a lot of data points that will come together into our final report. >> george: any determination of whether the helicopter was flying too high? there have been some reports of that, it was at 400 feet instead of 200 feet? >> there's separation that's happening with these highways in the sky. that has to do with not only altitude, but speed. but you have to remember, there's also the ability for controllers to say, give some direction to move in and out of that highway, as you may say. that will be one aspect that we'll look at, in addition to the airplane, which was originally on approach to runway one. it was asked to change to runway 33, which is a normal procedure, but when and how that happens, it all paints into, again, all

those data points that will come out in the final investigation. >> george: how long do you expect this investigation to take? >> as long as it takes. we will be on scene here doing all the recovery, the perishable evidence we need for as long as it takes. the preliminary report we believe will be out in 30 days but in cases of these major investigations, it will take a year, if not more, for us to come to a final probable cause. the most important thing is, the work doesn't just end then. we make recommendations so that we don't have tragedies like this again in the future. >> george: president trump already reached a conclusion. he said it was dei policies that led to this disaster. do you agree with that? >> i think there's been a lot of people that have given different opinions on this. we take all of that information in. what we look to are the experts in each one of the individual fields in these working groups and collectively the board comes out with a probable cause. again, we just don't want these tragedies to occur, so we make recommendations. sometimes it takes five, ten years.

but we haven't stopped. we've got a great reputation and we're gonna continue to do that. >> george: so you can't make any conclusions right now? >> the only conclusion i know is last night we met with several hundred family members who lost their loved ones in the potomac. we don't need that to happen anymore. we're gonna work. we're gonna continue. we're gonna find out what happened and we're gonna try to stop it from happening again. >> george: mr. inman, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you, george. >> george: michael? >> michael: all right. thank you, george. we are learning more about the victims on board the plane and helicopter. whit johnson is in washington, d.c. with the latest for us. good morning, whit. >> reporter: michael, good morning. there's an overwhelming sense of grief as this tragedy has touched so many different communities. at least two of the victims were as young as 12 years old. some dying alongside their parents. we've been speaking with loved ones who are determined to keep their memories alive. this morning we're beginning to see the faces and hear the stories of the 67 lives lost in

that fiery crash over the potomac. flight 5342's first officer samuel lily was just 29 and newly enganged. tiffany gibson telling abc news her little brother was a kind soul. >> he was. he was so young. he was excited about life and his future and getting a dog and a house and kids. it's just -- this is just tragic. >> reporter: ian epstein one of two flight attendants on board was a father and husband. his family saying he loved being a flight at tenant because he loved meeting new people but his true love was his family. elizabeth keys being remembered as a strong fearless woman who embraced life at full speed. she was killed on her 33rd birthday returning home early from a business trip so she could go on a date with her long time partner david. kia duggins, a civil rights attorney set to become a professor at howard university

but if he was like, hey, that's interesting to me, you couldn't stop him. >> reporter: married boston club coaches and former champions, seen here competing in 1996. france calling their deaths a tremendous loss for the skating community. >> just one of a kind. they cared about their athletes and were world champions themselves, and they were just champions in life. >> reporter: now, removing victims from the wreckage is an incredibly delicate process. sources tell us they have ceased diving operations for now until they can lift entire parts of the fuselage to the surface of the river. george? >> george: okay, whit. thanks very much. let's bring our chief white house correspondent mary bruce. mary, as we saw, the ntsb not ready to make conclusion about how this happened. yesterday president trump did. >> reporter: he certainly did, george. look, as investigators are racing to determine what caused

this tragedy, the president is making claims blaming dei policies, using this moment to underscore his own agenda. this morning with the investigation just beginning, president trump is claiming, without any evidence, that democrats diversity programs are to blame for the tragedy. >> we are going to have the most competent people in the country in our control towers, not people there for any other reason. >> reporter: karen travers pressing him. >> mr. president, to be clear, are you saying that race or gender played a role in this tragedy? >> it may have. i don't know. incompetence might have played a role. we'll let you know that. we want the most competent people. we don't care what race they are. >> reporter: in the briefing room, the president accusing his predecessors of hiring air traffic controllers based on diversity goals not qualifications. i asked the president where's his proof? are you saying this crash was somehow caused and the result of diversity hiring? and what evidence have you seen to support these claims? >> it just could have been. we have a high standard.

we had a much higher standard than anybody else. there were things where you have to go by brain power. you have to go by psychological qualities. >> reporter: but trump also acknowledged he doesn't know if the air traffic controllers made any mistakes. >> it's all under investigation. >> i understand that. that's why i'm trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash? >> because i have commonsense. >> reporter: former president biden's transportation secretary responding, despicable saying as families grieve, trump should be leading not lying. we put safety first. democratic lawmakers say trump owes the public an apology. >> it's one thing for internet pundits to spew off conspiracy theories. it's another for the president of the united states to throw out idle speculation as bodies are still being recovered and families still being notified. it just turns your stomach.

>> reporter: and the president is also facing questions about his plans to slash the federal work force. for years the faa has been struggling for years with a shortage of air traffic controllers. and now the president is offering all federal employees that buyout. the union that represents air traffic controllers they are, quote, concerned about the potential effect to public safety if faa were to lose experienced aviation safety personnel. rebecca? >> rebecca: all right, mary. thank you. we turn now to the latest on the hostage exchange in israel and the american expected to be released in the next round, as we learn more about the group of hostages released overnight. our foreign correspondent britt clennett is in tel aviv with the latest. good morning, britt. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. keith sigel will become the first american israeli hostage to be freed after 15 months in captivity. he is among three hostages listed in the prisoner exchange. now, sigel was kidnapped from

assurances they heard during these confirmation hearings? george one more thing breaking this morning. sources tell us that multiple senior fbi officials have been given an ultimate tupl to resign, be demoted or fired. we're learning that many of these officials were promoted under the previous fbi director, christopher wray. this is coming at a striking time. it was just as kash patel was in his confirmation hearing here trying to reassure democrats and republicans that the fbi can remain independent. and that he would not make good on previous claims to tkpwaofr president trump's political enemies, george. >> george: rachel scott, thank you very much. michael? >> michael: now gma health alert and the fda approving a ground breaking medication for the treatment of moderate to acute pain. our chief medical correspondent dr. tara narula is here to break it down. doc, this medication different because it's the first nonopioid medication of its kind. >> right. >> michael: to be approved for pain management. tell us about it. >> in 20 years. that's a long time.

this is an oral pill prescribed. you take it twice a day for moderate to acute pain. it targets the pain receptors to prevent that signal from getting to the brain. because it doesn't work in the brain it doesn't carry the addictive potential that opioids do, for example. so it's a very valuable tool that we're going to have in our arsenal here. hopefully be able to give to patients and prevent that concern for addiction and overdose. we do think it's relatively safe and effective in the trials they used to approve it it had about a 50% reduction in pain in patients who took it after surgery. side effects would be itching, rash, nausea, headache, things like that. >> michael: who should consider taking it, and when will it be available? >> it's not meant for chronic pain. it's meant for acute pain. so patients who have had trauma, injury, post surgical. we expect it to be about $30 a day. although with insurance it may be less. hopefully, it should be on the shelves coming this month. we want to tell patients to talk

to their doctor about what other meds that could interact with it. but really, again, this is another tool, opens the door to other drugs that work in the same capacity and helps people with acute pain. >> michael: thank you so much, doctor. appreciate that. rebecca? >> rebecca: all right. thank you, michael. now we turn to skyrocketing egg prices and the search for savings. consumer correspondent becky worley did the research and joins us now with where you can find the best deals. all right, lay it on us, becky. >> the puns abound. if you've been in the supermarket lately, you don't need me to tell you egg prices are through the roof. this is due to the bird flu that's killed millions of chickens. the usda says that egg prices are up nearly 37% from a year ago. they're expected to rise another 20% this year. so to see if there were any savings short cuts, i hit the road out here in

northern california. now get this. top price i found, $13.99. almost 14 bucks for a dozen eggs. that was at an asian grocery chain near me. my own regional grocery chain had eggs for $7.65. i tried the gas station and the convenience store had eggs for $6.59. here's where things got interesting. at the big national pharmacy chain near me that normally has milks, eggs, bacon, bare shelves. there were no eggs where they normally are. they were sold out. my local costco was completely sold out, as were two others i called. employees said they get eggs in the morning. cost about $7.69 for two dozen. fabulous finish, the cheapest eggs i could purchase came from whole foods. $3.99 for a dozen eggs and plenty of stock. i'm just one person in california. prices may vary. but the bottom line, michael, bolo egg, be on the lookout for

eggs, and check their prices. >> michael: that's an excellent report there. thank you so much for that. [ laughter ] aw, that was such a bad dad joke. thank you so much. we appreciate you. we are remembering olympic figure skater dick button who passed at the age of 95. he was considered the most accomplished figure in men's skating. he won two olympic gold medals, five world championships, plus an emmy for his work as a sports analyst, spending many years here at abc on shows like "wide world of sports." one of my favorite shows of all time. dick button will be missed. >> george: he was terrific. >> michael: absolutely. coming up in our gma morning menu, from ringing the bell to back to school, sharing my daughter isabella's cancer fight. >> rebecca: so powerful, michael. also ahead, belinda

then they find out they are on political polar opposite sides. >> lara: that's interesting. >> the question is, is love enough to enable communication on a microlevel which is a reflection of the macro of what's going on. >> lara: that must be fun. little combative. and very deep. >> it's sexy. there's a whole other element that just because you're over 60 you're dead. you can still have a vibrant relationship. >> sam: amen. >> why not? >> sam: i love it. we have a fondness for you on "little house on the prairie." i do because -- >> lara: i feel like we're friends. >> sam: it was my time. let's say i had a friend that i called nellie olsen but i would never say her name here. >> lara: oh my gosh. you are not doing that. [ laughter ] he calls me nellie. >> no. in a world full of nellies be a lara.

[ laughter ] >> sam: which is how the name got there anyway. let's talk about it. i feel like you launched it here. i feel like you came in and chalked about launching it. >> it's been two years. the business has grown like 500%. >> sam: wow. >> remarkable. it's remarkable. the component, the emotional component of this community of women over 50 that have banded together, bonded together to support each other through all of these things we're going through in life is amazing. we have the app. it's remarkable. these women are from all over the world, primarily from america. there's no politics. there's no back biting. we just stay away, love each other, support each other. feels like an example of what the world should be to me. >> lara: also sounds like "little house on the prairie." a very pure, wonderful show that leaves you feeling good. >> it's about loving one another bottom line. regardless of anything.

acceptance, love and understanding. >> lara: i love when i heard netflix is rebooting it. >> it's interesting, isn't it? there have been a lot of feels in the social media sphere. >> lara: good and bad? >> good and bad. anything that works for the little house legacy floats all the boats so i'm happy with that. i'm now working with michael landon jr. on "when called to heart." >> lara: oh my gosh. >> my prom date is now my boss. [ laughter ] my life is weird. >> lara: wait, is that real? he was your prom date? >> sam: on the show? >> in real life. >> lara: in real life, they were prom dates. when you look back at that experience, can you see why "little house on the prairie" resonates so deeply? >> it all ties into the ethos, too, because it's about love, community, understanding, and all the good, wonderful things.

it's a very impactful show. it still has tremendous meaning. just got an award for being the number one streaming series -- >> lara: which is wild. >> -- compared to all the new stuff. >> lara: yep. congratulations on everything. >> thanks. >> lara: so excited about "still" and your line. always happy to have you here. >> always a joy. >> lara: and we love nellie olsen. >> sam: i love both of you. march 23rd. hey, ginger, what's up? >> ginger: i love the arms crossed, lara it worked. 52 degrees in the twin city. you get a 50 plus in january once in a decade. that broke a record for the day. this is coming after lots of other records. rockford illinois made to it 55. green bay wisconsin 53. lot of these places haven't had the snow so it allows them to be warm. it's been after a relatively cool january, top five in all of the sites that have more than 70

years of data, including gainesville. let's get a check closer to home. >> george: funny how these guys amuse each other. [ laughter ] >> michael: behave. now it's our countdown to the big game, super bowl lix is just nine days away. while fans are eager to see their players take the field, this morning we're taking a look at some other important team members who work their magic on the side line. >> saquon. >> reporter: behind every play is a team of medical professors

watching their every move. from orthopedists to physical therapists, athletic trainers to nutritionists these health professionals have one job, to take care of these athletes. >> we're going eight skip. >> michael: through a new nfl program, they're hoping to inspire the next generation of sports medicine professionals entering the field. like medical student dave dalima, who immigrated to the u.s. from haiti when he was just 16. >> i feel like sometimes just pinch me to wake up from the dream. not many people get opportunities like this, let alone a person like me coming from port-au-prince haiti. >> michael: that's why the nfl diversity in sports medicine pipeline was created, to give medical students from diverse backgrounds the chance to shadow nfl medical teams across all 32 clubs. its goal is to diversify the field of sports medicine through month long rotations.

over the last century, medical professionals like dr. mark galloway, head orthopedist for the cincinnati bengals, have noticed a stark disparity. orthopedics and sports medicine, 80% of positions identify as white while over 50% of the participants in the sport identify as black. how important is it for these medical teams to look more like the players that they're helping? >> it's important to have providers who share your life experiences. and who can relate to you. and who understand where you're coming from so that when you're treating an athlete, you can treat them on their terms. >> michael: changing the field is what inspires students likery reagan burgess. >> women are under represented in medicine as a whole. in orthopedics black women make up less than 1% of orthopedic surgeons in the country. this opportunity allowed me an

extra glimpse of what my life could look like and if i chose the path of orthopedic medicine. she's now a resident. how does this make you feel? >> she's going to do great thing. she's going to inspire other people to follow in her footsteps. >> michael: and in her footsteps follow 70 students who have completed the program since it was founded in 2022. >> the mentorship i receive here i don't think anywhere else it would have been possible. lot of people who go through the same thing you've been through, i think that pushes you a lot more. >> biggest piece of advice, just be yourself. >> not many people get opportunities like this, so while i learn here, i can put my help not only in this country for the young served community, but also back home. >> michael: years from now when you look across nfl medical staffs what do you hope to see? >> i hope to see a medical staff

that is comparable in their makeup to players. that's what i would hope to see. >> you don't necessarily know that you can do something until you see someone that looks like you that can do it. i hope from my story, they're able to realize they're valued and needed and they can be successful in whatever they want to do. >> michael: on the day we shot dave, he was juggling several interviews for his residency. we want to wish him a lot of luck. coming up joey fatone and the cast of the hit broadway musical "& juliet" performing only on gma.
