7:04 am
them. >> reporter: good morning. the weather service confirmed a top-scale tornado. something people on the ground suspected from the very beginning. the tornado that killed dozens and destroyed thousands of homes in oklahoma on monday has been officially classified as an ef-5. the highest, most violent rating. >> this is horrible! horrible! >> reporter: oklahoma city mayor mick cornett can't believe anyone is around to remember it. >> no one could have possibly survived this, yet we know they did. this was a storm of storms. >> reporter: in the city of moore they are crawling back in. the storm hit hardest here and rubble is all many have left. what are you finding here? anything? >> some of the stuff i can't find. i had a couple of motorcycles in the shed, nowhere to be found. >> reporter: this is what remains of the house where david and ann freese lived for seven years. bad weather common place. >> always rode it out in the master bedroom closet.
7:05 am
sofa cushions, blankets and pillows. >> reporter: this is the closet where he and ann decided to hide. at the last minute ann decided to leave. have you thought about how fortunate that decision was to leave? >> yeah. as soon as we pulled up, it was just foundation. everything is gone. >> reporter: state officials say 24 people killed, among them, 9 children from two local schools. >> the tornado went in. >> reporter: isabella rojas survived. she is seven years old and filled with gratitude. >> i so was scared, i was crying and whenever the police came, i was like, oh, thank you. thank you for saving me. >> reporter: one quarter of the homes in moore were damaged or destroyed. more than 5,000 in all.
7:06 am
the city does not believe there are other survivors or victims to recover. their goal by this morning, to have searched every property three times. and now the giant process of rebuilding begins, one process at a time. the process start with something pretty simple. putting up street signs around town. even for long-time residents, the damage is so destructive that many people still lose their bearings. >> jeff glor, thank you. mark strassmann also on the ground in moore. covering the devastation across the area. here is what he's finding this morning. >> good morning, norah. jeff talking about the 5,000 homes damaged or destroyed. i'm standing in a home a couple of blocks from plaza towers elementary. the entire roof is gone. matt, pan over to the front.
7:07 am
the frond winter window gone, only had 15 minutes warning to get out of here and get away from winds that were 200 miles an hour. where do you start if you live in a house like this? where do you start to he rebuild your life? most folks come in, and look for important papers, photos, check their insurance obviously, but when you have a situation like this, where do you start? norah. >> that was our mark strassmann reporting. moore is the hometown of oklahoma representative tom cole. he is here inspecting damage, and i spoke with the congressman earlier this morning. he was here for 53 years. came back from washington. describe what you saw? >> it is just devastating. literally, we visited our tour with the congressional delegation, governor fallin. first stop was plaza towers schools. i have been there a million times. i used to keep the grounds there when i was in college, a polling
7:08 am
place, a pretty normal place to be. i literally couldn't recognize it. the damage, couldn't tell it was a school building. lose your bearing in the streets around it. as bad as the building was, houses are every bit as destroyed. pretty devastating to look at. and sadly, a scene we're pretty familiar with in this community. not our first tornado. >> your mayor described plaza towers elementary as ground zero for this tornado. that school demolished. how come the schools don't have safe rooms? >> it's an older school. newer ones built with them. it's the strongest build in the area. it's the place you would have gone, honestly. but the legislature will look at and local people will certainly look at. normally a fairly secure location, but when you have an f 5 above ground, you know there isn't a very good location. >> should there be underground shelters in tornado alley?
7:09 am
>> that's certainly worth looking at. the building under here pretty tough. most homes don't have basements. a lot of them have safe rooms or underground shelters, but, again, your point is well taken. obviously and tragically made a couple of days ago here. >> what about disaster relief aid. what do the people here need? >> first of all, they will be the first to tell you this, they need your prayers if you are so inclined. that's important to them. help the reputable, celebration army, oklahoma red across, those sorts of things, third, a federal and state component here, the state legislature, already drafting up legislation to give the ability to tap into a rainy day fund. >> any aid that comes to your state. >> i know you both well. senator tom coburn, do you agree with him? >> let's wait and see the extent of the damage. look, i don't want to spend a
7:10 am
lot of time in funding fights here. i voted for hurricane sandy relief. always better ways to maybe do things, once a disaster happens, the people on the ground need to know they will get help. if we can do that in a prudent way, i want to do that at the end of the day, my objective, make sure people get the help they need in a timely fashion. >> that was congressman tom cole. coming up, we talk with an 8-year-old girl injured at the plaza towers elementary school. her mother tells us about the frantic search to find her daughter. she, like so many other parent, once that school was hit, they raced to find their children. that story is ahead. >> thank you, norah. in other news, word this morning about a shooting in orlando, florida, that involved the fbi and a man who may have had ties to the boston bombing suspects. our senior correspondent john miller, former assistant fbi director, joins us on the phone. john, good morning. tell us what you know about what happened? >> well, sometime after midnight
7:11 am
last night, fbi agents who had been at the windover apartment complex in orlando, florida, had returned to question an individual they had been looking at for some time, actually since just after identifying the bombing suspects in boston. ibrahim todashev a friend of the older brother in that case, tamerlan tsavraev. he had been interviewed along with a number of others in the apartment complex. the interest in him was higher because of a couple of factors. he was in contact with tamerlan tsavraev. he had been to boston to visit him. and he was planning a trip to chechnya. this was a flight he was supposed to board i believe yesterday or the day before. and the fbi was back to question him again. there is some indication that he cancel thad tred that trip. in the encounter in the
7:12 am
apartment, something went wrong. those are the details we don't have, charlie. which is did he -- did he come out with a weapon? was there a fight? there were shots fired by the fbi, and he is deceased and a fairly significant investigation going on around that. >> we'll continue to follow the story. 12 days since the internal revenue service admitted to targeting conservative groups. and the head of that unit will invoke the fifth amendment. nancy cordes on capitol hill. >> that hearing now under way. lerner's attorney advised her to take the fifth, in part because of the criminal investigation that has been opened by the fbi. and while she is the official who ordered that these inappropriate criteria be changed, she also is accused by lawmakers of misleading them.
7:13 am
lois learner headed the division at the heart of the irs controversy. according to a treasury department report, lerner informed in july 2011, that some agents based in cincinnati singled out tea party groups for extra scrutiny for 18 months, she immediately directed that the criteria be changed. but some of the improper activity continued. >> i was commissioner -- >> reporter: and her superiors testified tuesday, they were not informed until the inspector general began investigating a year later in a blistering letter to lerner last week, house oversight chair darrell issa says it appears you provided false or misleading information on four separate occasions last year. her lawyer wrote back, she has not committed any crime or made any misrepresentation, but under the circumstances, she has no choice but to plead the fifth. >> i had a partial set of facts and i knew the inspector general was going to be looking into it. >> reporter: for the first time tuesday, senators heard from the
7:14 am
man who led the irs when the targeting started. douglas shulman, appointed by president bush in 2008, expressed regret, but frustrated democrats and republicans looking for an explanation. >> how did this happen? >> mr. chair, i can't say that i know that answer. >> what we need to do is bring before this committee some people who might actually know the answers. it's frustrating to have no answers for a hearing like this. >> reporter: the white house explanation of what it knew when shifted a bit over the past few days. is initially white house spokesperson said a lawyer in the counsel's office was informed a couple of weeks, but a few white house officials have spoken about irs officials about how to make all of this public. >> nancy, turning from that to immigration, the senate judiciary committee passed an immigration bill yesterday. so what does that say about the process for getting immakes reform? >> well, that was a big
7:15 am
milestone, it passed out of the judiciary committee after debate over 300 amendments that had all of the democrats supporting it and three republicans, it goes to the senate floor, so what will probably be weeks more of the debate. too early to say right now whether legislation will be successful in the end. >> nancy, thank you. the fbi identified five men who may have been involved or knew about the attack on the united states mission in benghazi. photos of three suspects released this month. all the men are under surveillance in libya. investigators eventually tried them in a united states court. meanwhile, "the washington post" says former cia director david petraeus chose to keep the details that were favorable to the agency and himself that led to intense editing of the talking points. critic says it's evidence of a white house coverup. former congressman anthony weiner says he will run for
7:16 am
mayor of new york city. jim axelrod joins us now. >> the last time anthony weiner made waves on the internet, it was from a mistakenly sent tweet. he announced he will be candidate for the mayor's race here in new york. >> work hard, make it into the middle class, make life better for your kids. that's how this works. >> reporter: anthony weiner making official. posting a video to youtube to declare candidacy of mayor of new york, despite the scandal that trove him from congress. >> i made some big mistakes and let a lot of people down. but learned some tough lessons. i am running for mayor because i've been fighting for the middle class my entire life. >> two years ago, and weiner resigned from congress after he sent lewd pictures of himself to several women. >> this was a personal failing,
7:17 am
i hope they see it that way. and i don't begrudge them if they wouldn't vote for me. that's their decision and i'm going to have to work very hard. >> reporter: since then, wiener has become a father and touted his status as a family man in the video. >> it's the best part of my day. >> reporter: perhaps one key to overcoming his tarnished image, the involvement of his wife, human huma, an aide to hillary clinton. >> i think she's really got to be there to support him and say, look, if i can forgive him, so can you. >> reporter: jeanne zaino thinks he will be a contender. >> by all accounts, he has $4 million, second in terms of war chest. >> reporter: plenty of ground for weiner to make up. his main opponent, popular city council head christine quinn has
7:18 am
a double digit lead in the polls, she would be new york city's first female and first openly gay mayor. recovering from scandal to get a second act in american politics a crime that has no shortage of precedence. mark sanford was elected to congress four years after his political career fell apart following the disclosure of an affair with a woman in south america. more people think weiner should run than shouldn't,

linda marie macdonald good morning, everyone. it's 7:26. i'm frank mallicoat. get you updated on some bay area headlines now on this wednesday morning. walnut creek is closer to a new downtown development. city council voted to approve the 1500 california development. it will include housing, stores and restaurants downtown. strong winds are to blame for a fire in the east san jose foothills. power lines set trees on fire there, then the blowing embers caused minor fires in two houses, as well. >> increased security may have paid off at a pg&e substation in san jose. vandals hit that facility last month. this morning, a guard apparently scared off a man lurking in that area. traffic and weather coming up right after the break. stay right there. n't know. last immunization shots? really? ney, what's my blood pressure medicine called? one time i took something and i blew up like a puffer fish. i'm probably allergic to that. at kaiser permanente, your medical information is available to you and your doctors.

7:30 am
welcome back to "cbs this morning." norah is in moore, oklahoma. norah, good morning again. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, charlie. coming up in this half hour, a teacher who threw herself on top of students to save them. at least one child is alive because of her quick thinking. she tells us what she said to the kids while they were all trapped in the rubble. and when the tornado hit two elementary schools here in moore, the children had no place to hide. we'll look at what stopped the school from having safe rooms. that is ahead. and the tornado killed seven children inside plaza towers elementary school, but
7:31 am
miraculously, several students were pulled out alive, and we talked to one survivor and her mother. where did the teacher tell you to take shelter? >> hallway. >> reporter: were you kneeling down? >> yeah. i was on my knees like that. >> reporter: from her hospital bed 8-year-old courtney brown recalled the moment the warnings sirens first sounded. >> the doors kept opening and shutting, opening and shutting by themselves. >> reporter: because of the wind? >> yeah. and there was like this thing that looked like a twister, and it was tearing the ceiling up. >> reporter: you saw that. >> yeah. it was like that. >> reporter: the tornado took direct aim at plaza towers elementary as courtney and her second grade class huddled in the hallway. >> reporter: you think something may have hit you in the back of the head. >> i don't know what it was. i didn't know i was hurt but
7:32 am
everybody else told me i went into an ambulance, and here i am. >> reporter: were you scared? >> mm-hmm. >> reporter: what were you thinking? >> about my mom. >> reporter: what were you thinking about your mom? >> that i missed her and hoped that she was okay. >> reporter: courtney's mom raquel was at work at the time. did you think she was dead? >> i did. the first i heard about the school, my mom called and said the school was demolished. there's nothing left. she said, i don't know how anyone survived. so the whole time i'm trying to get to the school it's hysterically crying. >> reporter: when she arrived she quickly reunited with her 11-year-old boys. she couldn't find her daughter. >> reporter: luckily her teacher was there. she came to me and said courtney went to the hospital.
7:33 am
she was bleeding but she's okay. >> reporter: it was just this year that courtney and the boys posed for this photo on the first day of school. now all that's left of the school is a pile of mangled debris. >> reporter: you know what happened to your school. >> it turned into crumbles. >> reporter: yeah, it did turn into crumbles. how do you feel about that? >> sad. >> reporter: the family's home was also destroyed. still, courtney's mom considers herself lucky. >> reporter: you lost your house too? >> yeah. but i wasn't worried about my house. my biggest worry -- and i'm still not worried about my house. my biggest worry is my children. as long as they're okay, i'm good. i can replace everything else. >> reporter: you can hear raquel say the most important thing is her children are alive and her family is safe. and, in fact, courtney could be released from the hospital today. with were talking about plaza towers elementary school and some of the teacherers there.
7:34 am
of course, incredible teachers at that school. one of those teachers did so much to save her students and keep them safe. she was a third grade teacher who was pregnant, and she used her own body as a shield. in part because of her braverib at least one little boy survived. vinita nair hasta story. >> reporter: jennifer doan still struggles to speak, but the love she has for her students extends beyond words. seven of them were killed when the tornado ripped through moore. seven in a class of 20. >> we were trying so hard to keep them all calm. >> reporter: do you remember what you were saying to them. >> that everything was going to be okay. >> reporter: within minutes the tornado tore the school apart. do you remember using your body to cover some of the kids?
7:35 am
>> i used my arms to wrap around two of them. i said someone will come for us. >> reporter: how did you get out of there? >> we were stuck and somebody suddenly came. they knew that we were there. they knew we were there. so we kept thinking -- we kept thinking for us. >> reporter: once rescuers pulled her from the rubble, she said all she could do is think of her students. she doesn't consider herself a hero but she may have to get used to the title. for "cbs this morning," vinita nair, moore, oklahoma. >> what an incredible story. and jennifer is doing well this morning as well as her child. you know, the elementary school destroyed here in moore had no safe rooms, did not have an underground shelter either as a place where the kids could have taken shelter during the
7:36 am
tornado. we asked elaine quijano why they didn't have those safety things in place. good morning, elaine. >> reporter: good morning to you, norah. well, it turns out here in the heart of toernrnado alley, ther are no requirements for schools or any other structures for that matter to be built to guard against tornado force winds or to have shelters for students. many new school buildings in oklahoma have included safe rooms, reinforced steel and concrete bunkers but it's strictly voluntary and it often comes down to money. >> you have a limited amount of funds that are used for litigation members and when you have a limited number of funds, you set priorities on which schools you do want to ask for. >> reporter: more than 100 safe rooms have been built in oklahoma schools. it was before they knew how to
7:37 am
fortify buildings against tornadoes. structural engineer john joyce says older schools only get attention when they're erecting new buildings. >> to try to converts a building, i think it would probably be as cost effective to go ahead and, you know, build a whole new edition. >> the schools also lacked underground spaces that could act as shelters. >> you have bedrocks. it makes cellars exactly difficult. you have to blast or dynamite that out and that's not something that a lot of people can afford. >> reporter: in 2000 an oklahoma climb a toe logical survey said many places inside schools where they would seek slel ter were not sufficient reinforced. monday's twister had winds up to 210 miles per hour but buildings in oklahoma are only required to withstand 90-mile-per-hour winds.
7:38 am
now, there are many that hope this tragedy will spark a discussion how to construct safe rooms. it's going to require time and money, about $1.4 million per school. norah? >> elaine quijano. thank you. this town's going to clean up first. they're going to take care of everybody, but as congress mentioned it's something the legislature will look at. >> thank you, norah. angelina jolie stunned everyone with her own test. and tomorrow morning

8:39 am
what they say in the survey. >> again, if you're measuring the physical distance between you and the seat in front of you, our seats are tighter but we allow them to travel -- >> could charlie fit in one of those seats? >> he could absolutely fit in a front seat for $20 or $40 more. >> i've got to hand it to you for being here because most ceos in your position if they were rated at the bottom, they wouldn't say let's go on "cbs this morning." they'd say i have a ped cue. >> most would come and say we're full. >> let's talk about the lit. you're saying bottom of the list but we're income ber one for margin performance for investors, we're growing faster than any otherarily. we're employed more people. we're the lowest fare in the industry. so we're in um beer one in the sthijs that matter most to tour pleas, customers, and shareholders.
