u.s. military officials tell nbc news that it appears there wer no survivors from the military helicopter crash just off the florida panhandle overnight. the helicopter was on a traini mission carrying seven u.s. special operations marines, and a four-man army crew when it went down in the santa rosa strip -- sound. it's a narrow strip of water between santa rosa island and the shore. according to u.s. military officials at the time of the exercise about 8:30 when the helicopter went downs are ther were increasingly harsh weathe conditions. severe thick fog and a low ce and since this was a special operations training mission, t helicopter itself probably wou have been flying very low, actually almost skimming the water so that combined with weather conditions could have contributed to the crash itsel now, the seven marines are fro ca the helicopters were from a national guard army base in

hammond, louisiana but it's not clear whether the four-man arm crew aboard was also from louisiana. now, according to officials, search and rescue operations still continue this morning wi the slight hope that they stil may find someone alive. but this incident again a grim reminder that even in a traini incident, that american men an women in the military often ar in harm's way every day, matt. >> tragic news for the u.s. military. jim miklaszewski at the pentagon, thank you very much. we are hearing for the fir time today from one of the university of oklahoma student involved in the racist chant that led to a fraternity being kick it you off campus while t family of another student and this young student himself apologizing, the scandal appears only to be growing. gabe gutierrez is in norman for us. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. two students have been expelle and the university says the investigation is not over.

and other students could be di we're learning more what may have led to this. one student blaming the incide in part on alcohol. on the campus new outrage. >> i hope he genuinely is apologetic and not because he got caught. >> apologies for this video ar sinking in. a freshman member of sigma alp epsilon parker rice writing i deeply sorry for what i did saturday night. it was wrong and reckless. i admit it likely was fueled b alcohol consumed at the house before the bus trip but that's not an excuse. rice had graduated from this prep school in dallas last yea >> i was appalled. i think it's unconscionable to see what was going on bus. >> in his written statement ri said the song was taught to us overnight sae said it was like

they learned from fellow chapt members but reiterated the national fraternity does not such a racist hateful chant. the parents of a second studen levi pettite also apologized. he made a horrible mistake and will live with the consequence we also know the depth of our son's character. he is a good boy. but what we saw in those videos is disgusting. the fraternity calling this video posted on social media unacceptable, shows the long time house mother at ou using the same racial slur in 2013. she says she is heart broken b any racist portrayal and she w only singing along to a rap song. as the scandal widens hundreds of student marched across campus, diverse crowd stopping at the sae house now shut down >> it's racism. that's what it is. >> i would say we haven't fallen

apart but some parts of us hav started to crumble away but we're putting it back together >> reporter: this morning ther is an image being shared a lot here on the campus, and beyond it is a powerful image taken by the student newspaper showing students coming together last night and trying to show signs of racial unity. again, the university stressin that it has zero tolerance for what happened on that bus. back to you. >> gabe, thank you. another scandal being closely watched, hillary clinton's e-mail controversy a this morning her critics responding now that she has broken her silence. andrea mitchell is here with t latest on that. good morning. >> good morning to you. the state department now says it will post hillary clinton's e-mails after they are screene for privacy and security, starting with the benghazi e-mail first. clinton's answers have not satisfied republicans. >> i fully complied with every rule i was governed by. >> reporter: hillary clinton's press conference raised more

questions for republicans. trey gowdy the republican chairman of the house benghazi investigation says he will cal her to testify at least twice. critics don't buy her explanation she used the priva system for convenience. >> i thought it would be easie to carry one device for my wor and personal e-mail instead of two. looking back it would have bee better to use two separate phones and two e-mail accounts >> clinton says her work e-mai went to colleagues on governme accounts so were automatically archived but she revealed she deleted what she decided personal e-mails. >> about planning chelsea's wedding or my mother's funeral arrangements, condolence notes to friends as well as yoga routines, family vacations. >> her answers satisfied diann >> i think the important thing she stepped forward and talked to people. >> republicans say they don't

trust them and want her to tur over her server to a neutral third party. >> nobody has any way to verif what she did or didn't do. >> the server contains persona communications from my husband and me, and i believe i have m all of my responsibilities and the server will remain private >> hillary clinton says the system was secure because it w set up by-er husband's office, and protecteddy the secret service. although bill clinton's office says the former president doesn't use e-mail, only sent two in his life. and clinton's explanation she preferred to use just one devi may come under scrutiny. at a women's event last month she seemed to suggest otherwis >> i don't throw anything away i'm like two steps short of a hoarder. so i have you know, an ipad, a mini, ipad, iphone and blac >> we're told the explanation

for that is that she got the iphone only a few months ago after she left the state department. clinton will no doubt face questions by her critics. tuesday was her first with the press corps since her 2008 campaign, a sign of what she could be facing once she becom a candidate. >> you were in that room and even as she left the podium there were a lot of people who wanted to ask her questions. >> for sure. >> thank you very much. republican senator rand paul of kentucky calling for an independent investigation into all of this, we talk to him earlier this morning. i began by asking the senator what clinton said or didn't sa that makes him believe she's perhaps not telling the whole >> here's the thing. i don't think convenience should trump national security. she also has admitted in other interviews she has an iphone a blackberry so carries two devi devices. i think fact she didn't obey t rules on putting her e-mails o a government server and now sh says there wasn't classified

information i'm not shaur that can be trusted since we can't trust her to do the right thin the first time. the thing about classified lk about transmitting a document that's classified about many conversations may be classifie say i wanted to know tomorrow about all of her conversations by e-mail with the president i would think many of those woul be classified and yet she says that she did these conversatio on a private server. >> she says nothing was cl she turned over 55,000 pages o e-mails to the state department, but she does say she discarded some 30,000 e-mails, raises questions i think you'll agree one, did she make the right decision between what was pure official and what was purely personal, and i guess you must be wondering are they gone for good or still on the server in >> nothing seems to be gone fo dp on the internet. but the other question i would have is, there is a period of time she was traveling to liby

that we are concerned about he e-mails, and those aren't out there. so did she delete those? i mean really, the problem is when someone shows themselves not necessarily to be trust worthy with doing the right thing, she was supposed to put the e-mails on a government server, on a secure server and she didn't, now she says well, didn't do the right thing then but trust me now, the one i deleted weren't pertinent and trust me though there aren't e-mails that exist concerning this trip to libya trust me th i am doing the right thing. i don't know, my sense of trus is a little lost on this. >> let me ask you she mentione before her remarks on the e-ma she talked about this open letter that you and 46 other republican senators wrote and then signed and sent off to th leaders of iran during delicat negotiations over this nuclear deal. she said you and the others we either trying to help iran or undermine the commander in ch let me ask you if you're no

longer senator rand paul but president rand paul and you're trying to conduct foreign poli in the midst of delicate negotiations, would you want members of the senate undermining that? >> i'm kind of one of the senators who is in favor of negotiations with iran. i want there to be a peaceful outcome but i want to strengthen the president's hand so i want to strengthen his hand bay saying you know what, we've go a lot of hard liners and have get agreement by congress and doing so maybe the president will negotiate a more appropriate deal where we actually get iran to give up - >> you strengthen the president's hand? >> also reiterated what the constitution says is that the powers are separated, and that when legislation is passed by congress, congress passed most of the sanctions. they can't be taken back witho congress passing new legislation. so i think this is the law no matter what there is a letter, no matter whether the bill passes or not. i think the law is that the

sanctions can only be removed by congress and by reiterating th i think we send a message that this needs to be a good deal. >> senator rand paul, thanks f joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you. natalie is here with a key piece of evidence at the boston bombing tr >> we're talking about the boa that dzhokhar tsarnaev was hiding in and wrote on before his capture taking center stag at the bottoming trial. pete williams is at the cour good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the judge in the bombing trial is deciding whether to let members of the jury see the entire boat for themselves, no that the government has shown for the first time pictures of what dzhokhar tsarnaev wrote while he was hiding in it. while the boston suburb of watertown was on lockdown five days after the bombing with th hunt on for dzhokhar tsarnaev, he was hiding for hours in a boat stored in a back yard, writing a 230-word essay in pencil on the interior.

wherever you store fat is an indicator of health risks. >> you have taken a book and looked at excuses. no time too tired. that's my excuse. >> you have to make time. whether it means getting off of social media to wake up earlier in the morning or if you are tired, commit to 20 minutes. above all, figure out your reasons. your reasons need to be bigger than your excuses. >> congrats on the book. it is called the no more excuses diet. what florence henderson's tv show and what has her feeling her best at age 81. we are about to sit down with her.
