wildland firefighters in 80 years. this morning the headline of "the arizona republic" reads "tragedy." fast-moving flames killed members of an elite crew. >> at least 200 homes have already been destroyed. john blackstone is in nearly congress. john, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. arizona governor jan brewer said in a statement, this is as dark a day as she can remember. on these big wildfires, firefighters come from all over the west. but the hot shots killed here were from this area. all members of the prescott arizona, fire department from just 30 miles down the road. and that has made the loss here all the more tragic. triple-digit heat and 45-mile-per-hour wind gusts fueled the yarnell hill fire into an out-of-control monster sunday, overpowering an elite team of firefighters. >> we're devastated. we just lost 19 of some of the

finest people you'll ever meet. i mean, right now we're in crisis. >> reporter: the men were trying to help get the blaze under control when the fire suddenly shifted, taking them by surprise. >> you know this fire was very radical in its behavior. the fields were very dry, relative humidity was low. the wind was coming out of the south. it turned around on us because of the monsoon action this afternoon. they were just caught up in a very bad situation. >> reporter: all 19 members were part of the granite mountain hot shots, a crew that hauls heavy gear into a fire's path, building lines of protection between people and flames. the crew was working around barbara potter's place on saturday. >> i waved at one of them and i said, what's up guys? is there a fire in the back of the neighborhood or something? and he said no. he said we're coming in to take a look at where we can set up a break to try and save the neighborhood. and they're gone. >> reporter: officials believe a lightning strike sparked the blaze friday. it continued working its way

around the town of yarnell overnight, destroying hundreds of buildings. now as crews battle to get the blaze under control, the community is coming to grips with the lives lost. >> when you have that much fuel and that dry a conditions and those kind of wind conditions it can become extremely unpredictable. what we do do is we teach people to be safe to take safety precautions, sometimes unfortunately it just doesn't work out. >> reporter: this fire is still growing rapidly. it's now burned across some 8,000 acres. and charlie and norah, it is 0% contained. >> john blackstone, thank you. and president obama is expressing his condolences this morning for the 19 firefighters killed. in a statement released overnight, the president called them heroes highly skilled professionals who like so many across our country do every day, selflessly put themselves in harm's way to protect the lives and property of fellow citizens

they would never meet. carter evans is outside the fire department in prescott arizona. that is home base for the 19 who were killed. carter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. and good morning to our viewers in the west. the flag at the station where they were based is at half-staff this morning. the 19 firefighters that were killed were part of an elite squad of first responders known as hot shots. they're highly trained. and the granite mountain hot shots had actually successfully contained a fire right here in arizona just one week ago. but the yarnell fire would prove too intense. hot shot crews are often first on the scene, on the ground fighting these fires by hand physically cutting the fire break around the fire. teams are often comprised of 20 men and women. the granite mountain shot shots are one of 110 teams spread throughout the country. they're activated during wildfire season, and they're called where needed. assignments are dangerous and demanding. they're often working right on the fire line.

14-hour days carrying 60 pounds of gear or more. it is still not exactly clear what happened to these 19 firefighters. investigators don't want to speculate. we do know their bodies were found late sunday afternoon. they also found 19 fully deployed fire shelters. now, each member of the hot shot team always carries a fire shelter on his belt. it looks like a small one-man tent maybe a large sleeping bag with a reflective coating on the outside. it is a tool of last resort. and survival in a fire shelter is not a guarantee by any means. it is a situation where firefighters feel like they can't escape. that is the only time when they use these shelters. firefighters are trained to use these shelters and deploy them within 0 within 30 seconds or less and taught to keep their mouth and noses close to the ground where

they'll find the most oxygen. they'll have to stay in these fire shelters as the fire passes over them. that could be minutes. it could be hours. and it's unknown in this case. the names of these firefighters have still not been released. >> thank you. our meteorologist of wfor is looking at the conditions in arizona that may have played a role in the disaster. jeff, good morning. >> hey good morning, charlie. i was looking at the observations yesterday. and some of the obvious things that come to mind is the high temperature was 10 on0 degrees. relative humidity was bone dry, 10% or less during the day. now, the winds were fairly calm and predictable in the morning, but during the mid to late part of the afternoon, thunderstorms started to develop right around that area. which means not only was there lightning, but also the winds became very gusty and very unpredictable. we saw wind gusts up to 30 35 miles an hour. and that made the behavior of the fire very unpredictable and probably caught them off guard. >> jeff, what about the forecast

for today there? >> well there's not much relief in sight over the next several days. take a look. high temperatures today around 116 in phoenix, about 128 in death valley. 108 in boise. so all that heat in the southwest is spreading northwest. 116 today in las vegas. and it looks like the record heat streak of four consecutive days of 115 plus in las vegas is in jeopardy today we'll probably tie it and tomorrow we will very well break it. and the national weather service out there saying this is likely to be a top five heat wave of the century. >> jeff, thank you. in egypt, there is new violence this morning, but president mohamed morsi is standing firm in the face of massive protests. hundreds of thousands took to the streets of cairo yesterday, calling on morsi to step down. >> at least 16 people have been killed in a week of sporeadic violence. among the victims, this american college student was stabbed to

death friday while watching a demonstration. charissa ward is in cairo with developments. >> reporter: protesters had stormed and looted the headquarters of the muslim brotherhood this morning. that was the scene of deadly clashes last night. here in tahrir square as you can see behind me relatively calm and quiet. there are still a few protesters camped out but traffic is moving. that said it is still early in the day, and the streets are still tense. the square exploded with egyptians. jubilant and defiant, they had one simple message for their president. please leave. army helicopters flew low over the square as if to tell the protesters that if things got out of control, the military would step in. the crowd erupted in cheers. not all the protests were peaceful. there were attacks on the muslim brotherhood headquarters in cairo and sporadic clashes outside of the capitol. still with such massive numbers

taking to the streets across the country, there have been fears that the violence would be worse. at a pro-morsi rally near the presidential palace supporters carried sticks and bats and wore hard hats. a teacher told us it was their duty to defend the presidency. >> i am here first to all to support. we are peace-loving people. we don't attack anyone, anyone. >> reporter: but critics of the president like 35-year-old fati said they were fed up with morsi's failure to stop the country's economic decline and the breakdown of law and order. >> reporter: so what's your message to president morsi? >> just to tell him leave. this is the only message we have. >> reporter: egyptians are already bracing themselves for another possible wave of massive demonstrations. anti-morsi protesters have said

that the president has until 5:00 p.m. tomorrow to step down and that if he does not, they will begin a massive campaign of civil disobedience. for "cbs this morning," clarisa ward cairo. president obama begins the last leg of his tour of africa this morning. the president just arrived in tanzania following a visit to south africa. there he paid tribute to the ailing nelson mandela. major garrett traveling with the president. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. from the airport, the president headed to the state house. a joyous boisterous reception there, red carpet and a boulevard renamed barack obama drive. right now the president is involved in a press conference with the tanzanian president. questions about u.s. surveillance in europe and possibly the president's reaction to violence and street protests in egypt could come up. but as was true in sudan and south africa, nelson mandela is on this president's mind and the continent. ♪ universal an anti-apartheid hero nelson

mandela hovered over president obama's odyssey on behalf of u.s. trade and investment throughout africa. mandela's condition remained the same critical but stable and on life support at a pretoria hospital. the two met in washington in 2005 when mr. obama was a senator. but as the president and first family retraced mandela's life as a prisoner on bleak robben island, a poignant truth emerged, the world's two most famous black presidents would never meet. mr. obama did meet briefly with some of mandela's family in johannesburg. the first couple shown in this white house photo phoned mandela's third wife almost always at his bedside. >> mandiba's health weighs heavily on our hearts. nelson mandela showed us that one man's courage can move the world. and he calls on us to make choices that reflect not our

fears but our hopes. >> reporter: before arriving here, the president announced a $16 billion joint venture between the united states government and american corporations to try to create 80% capacity for electricity across the continent of africa in 15 years. one other note the president and the first lady will see president -- former president bush and former first lady laura bush here in tanzania tomorrow to celebrate the opening of a woman's health clinic and also to memorialize the first terrorist strike against the u.s. embassy here in tanzania in 1998. charlie and norah, back to you. >> the obamas and the bushes together. major garrett, thank you. leaders in europe say they are deeply worried by a report the united states spied on the european union. the allegations come from nsa leaker edward snowden. elizabeth palmer is in london. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. that's right details of these allegations have been leaking out over the last 48 hours in britain and in europe. and the political fallout has ranged from astonishment to fury.

european leaders gathering over the weekend to mark croatia's entry into the eu were blindsided by new allegations said to have been leaked by edward snowden and published in germany and the uk. the reports say that a european union office in washington was bugged so official conversations and e-mails could have been monitored by american intelligence. the president of the european parliament is martin schultz. >> is this the basis for a constructive relationship on the basis of mutual trust? i think no. >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry on an official visit to brunei said the europeans had raised the matter with him, but he wouldn't comment until he knew the whole truth. then added -- >> every country in the world that is engaged in international affairs, of national security undertakes lots of activities to

protect its national security. >> reporter: meanwhile, the source of the leaks, edward snowden, is still, as far as anyone knows, holed up in a moscow airport. last week it looked as if he might get asylum in ecuador. but after a phone call from vice president biden, ecuador's president seemed to be shying away from a commitment. "we can't process an asylum request because snowden isn't on ecuadorian soil. if he arrives, we will seek the opinion of the u.s." the russians for their part still insist snowden can't leave the transit area of the airport because as his u.s. passport was revoked, he has no travel documents. so right now snowden's fate hangs in diplomatic limbo. "the guardian" newspaper is reporting here in london new allegations that the u.s. also spied on other allied countries including japan and korea. and that's bound to be an issue for secretary of state kerry who

is actually at an asian security conference today. charlie and norah? >> thank you. there could be 60,000 more cars on the morning in the san francisco bay area. that is because commuter train workers are on strike. the bay area rapid transit system is closed. talks broke down last night. the fight is over salary pensions and health care. b.a.r.t. is the nation's fifth largest rail system. in las vegas, the world famous cirque du soleil says it's canceling all performances of one of its signature shows until further notice. the decision comes after saturday night's death of a cast member, a first for the company. ben tracy reports on the victim a mother of two with decades of experience. >> reporter: this is the dramatic fight scene that comes near the end of cirque du soleil's las vegas show. audience members say it was during this scene saturday night when the 31-year-old who used a stage name sassoon reportedly split free of a safety wire

plummeting some 50 feet into a pit below the show's stage. this woman was in the audience. >> her arms were flailing and trying to grab on to something as was her legs were out of control. she didn't seem like she was very in control of her body. >> reporter: she was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. despite recent layoffs, cirque is a billion-dollar enterprise with 19 shows running around the world, employing 1300 artists. her death is the first in the troupe's nearly 30-year history. >> down below where the actress had fallen you could hear like, groaning and, like screams of pain. >> reporter: cirque du soleil's founder issued a statement.

students? >> this rate was 3.4% set in 2007 because congress said the stat was getting out of control. now it's going to be 6.8 because they can't agree on a methodology. that has immr. i indications for the 7 million people who take out a loan this year not for those who already have loans. >> this is tough. we know it's greater than credit card debt. you think this is going to affect the larger economy. >> i do actually. i think it could have an effect. we know that the debt itself is starting -- causing people to delay starting families, buying cars buying homes. it used to be the more education you had the more likely you were to own a home. now we're finding because of the debt the more education you have people are less likely to own a home. 36% less likely if you have student debt. so just buying a house and starting a family has $145 in

good morning, gayle, good morning, charlie everybody. it is 8:00 a.m. in the west. welcome back to "cbs this morning." prescott, arizona's fire chief said we're devastated after fast moving flames killed 19 of his most elite firefighters. a sightseeing helicopter falls from the sky over new york city. what happens next reminds of the mire kell on the hudson. junk food could help in the fight against obesity. but first here is a look at today's eye-opener at 8:00. nineteen firefighters killed were a squad of elite first responders known as hot shots. >> the deadliest in 80 years. >> the fire is burning 85 miles northwest of phoenix in the town

of yarnell. >> arizona governor dan brewer said in a statement, this is as dark a day as he can remember. >> details have been leaking out over the last 48 hours when the political fallout has ranged from astonishment to fury. thousands of texans on both sides of the abortion debate are planning to gather at the state capital this afternoon. >> jennifer lopez is believed to be the first western star to visit the country turkmenistan. this morning j. lo has second thoughts about the distinction. >> it is a country so repressive it once banned circuses and operas. >> it used to be the more education you had, the more likely you were to own a home. now we're finding because of the debt, the more education you have, people are less likely to own a home. >> the national weather service saying this is likely to be a top five heat wave of the century. >> hot and sweaty. it's hot it's hot, it's hot. >> like being in an oven. >> hot for me. i have to wear my short pants

prescott, arizona, fire department. that's just 30 miles down the road. that has made the tragedy felt here all the greater. triple digit heat and 45 mile-per-hour wind gusts fuel the yarnell hill fire into a monster out of control sunday, overpowering an elite team of firefighters. >> we're devastated. we just lost 19 of some of the finest people you'll ever meet. right now we're in crisis. >> the men were trying to help get the blaze under control when the fire suddenly shifted taking them by surprise. all 19 members were part of the granite mountain hot shots. >> they aren't the people with engine companies, large trucks. they are the core of firefighting right in the middle of the incident. >> reporter: officials believe a lightning strike sparked the blaze friday. now, as crews battle to get the blaze under control, the community is coming to grips with the lives lost. >> you have that much fuel and that dry a conditions and those

kind of wind conditions it can become extremely unpredictable. what we do do people take safety precautions, sometimes unfortunately it just doesn't work out. >> reporter: this fire is still growing rapidly. it has now burned across 8,000 acres and officials say it is 0% contained. >> john blackstone thank you. the fflts who died yesterday spent years working in some of the most dangerous conditions possible. carter evans in arizona, the home of this elite unit. carter good morning. >> reporter: charlie and gayle, good morning, and to our viewers in the west. this was the deadliest fire for firefighters in 18 years. the 19 who were killed sunday afternoon were part of an elite team of first responders. they are known as hot shots. they are the granite mountain hot shots. they had successfully contained a wildfire just one week ago.

hot shots are often first on the scene, not necessarily with hoses and fire engines but hand tools, pick axes and shovels, physically cutting a containment line around the fire. it is still not clear what happened to these 19 firefighters sunday afternoon. their bodies were found. next to them were 19 deployed fire shelters. firefighters are trained with these fire shelters. they look like small one-man tents with a reflective surface on the outside. they can withstand high temperatures for a period of time. but they are a tool of last resort and survival is not guaranteed. firefighters are taught to keep their noses and mouths very close to the ground. that's where they are going to get their best chance at oxygen and cooler air. they are also taught not to panic when they are inside these shelters. once they made the decision to deploy, no matter how hot it gets, they are taught to stay there until it is safe to come out of those fire shelters. now, the names of these 19 who

were killed have still not been released. their family members are still being notified. charlie, norah, and gayle, we are told that only one member of this 20-person team survived this deadly fire. >> thank you, carter evans. meteorologist jeff berardelli of our cbs station wfor is watching the conditions in arizona. jeff, the question now, how do you think today's weather is going to affect the fire? >> not much better. it's still going to be hot. it's still going to be very dry. there's the possibility of a couple of afternoon thunderstorms like we saw during the day yesterday. take a look at this map. early yesterday afternoon wind gusts weren't really a problem. in fact, the winds were fairly calm. we had high temperatures around 100, very low relative humidity. but i'm going to put this in motion. notice how the winds come up as thunderstorms develop around yarnell, prescott had 44 miles an hour and 49 in kingman.

you can imagine the conditions became very unpredictable during the day yesterday. during the day today, high temperatures a lot like yesterday. and the past couple of days 116 in phoenix, around 108 in boise 128 in death valley. all that heat is spreading northwest. in las vegas, probably 116 degrees. it looks like we're going to set a record. probably tie it today for consecutive days at 115 plus in las vegas and maybe set that record during the day tomorrow. gayle, charlie, norah. >> hundreds of boston marathon runners crossed the finish line. it started in los angeles. one runner carrying an american flag collapsed before the finish. others helped her get through the last few steps. cross-country relay helped them raise money for people injured in the boston bombings. a mini mire kell a helicopter splashed down yesterday in new york's hudson

river, the same place where flight 1549 landed four years ago. we all remember that one. the chopper had a 22-year-old pilot at the controls. >> reporter: this is not how most tours of the big apple end up. >> we saw the helicopter come down. like when it was about 5 meters from the water, landed quite hard. >> reporter: the pilot michael campbell, managed to bring it down upright and intact. he deployed the flotation devices to keep it from sinking. >> people are calling you a hero. >> just doing my job. that's all you can do at the end of the day. >> reporter: jet skiers and boaters rescued the pilot and tourists from sweden. >> they all seemed healthy. they were all shocked, of course, especially the pilot. >> reporter: the tourist helicopter started from the heliport and flew north along the hudson river and put down where another famous crash

landing, miracle on the hudson happened in 2009. in both cases the pilots were praised for saving lives. >> this is a pilot knew exactly what he was doing at the time he was doing it and trained for the worst case scenario and a great outcome. it's him who should take credit. >> sully sullenberger is now a "cbs this morning" consultant. >> the final critical maneuver is choosing the height to begin the landing. doing it too high would make it not work out. doing it too late the helicopter would hit the water too hard. the fact this helicopter remained upright was a huge advantage. >> reporter: 300,000 people a year take tourists flight around manhattan. the national transportation safety board will inspect the chopper to determine the cause of the accident. for "cbs this morning," new york. >> 22 years old and cool under pressure. in the paper this morning he said he went home last night and did his laundry. >> that is very cool. >> very cool. nypd said they didn't even get wet.

that's what a flawless emergency landing this was. >> but he said what most heroes say, i'm just doing my job. johnny depp is known for being private. he never talks. guess what he opened up to charlie rose also known for being private. we'll learn about his new role as tonto and why he envies older people. >> he's not so private with us.

we talked for 30 35 minutes. he had to go to another apontment. we're going to do aht 6 "60 minutes" piece. i liked him a lot and marlon. we're going to do another interview together. >> "the lone ranger" opens in theaters wednesday. and up next
