charlie rose is off so anthony macing is with us. >> hello. great to be here. >> we are hearing dramatic 911 calls made by survivors of the asiana plane crash. >> have finally started clearing the debris left and we are hearing new details about why some passengers waited to escape the wreckage. >> reporter: a lot of us have looked at the video and pictures of this crash and we've been astonished that only two people lost their lives. now with these 911 calls, we can hear from passengers inside the plane just how frightening this experience was. >> hi we are at the san francisco international airport and we just got in a plane crash and there are a lot of people that need help. >> reporter: passengers frantically dialed 911 seconds after their plane slammed into the runway and burst into flames. >> there is a woman out here on the street on the runway who
7:04 am
is pretty month burned very severely on the head and we don't know what to do. >> okay we do have help started that way. you said they're there but there's not enough people correct? >> yes, she is severely burned. she will probably die soon. >> reporter: emergency dispatch calls captured travelers pleading for ambulances to help the critically wounded. >> were you on the plane? >> yes we've been on the ground 20 minutes. there are people laying on the tarmac with critical injuries. we're almost losing a woman here. we're trying to keep her alive. >> reporter: the details as a caravan of buses reportedly carrying survivors visited the crash site for the first time. earlier, ntsb chairman deborah hersman revealed the pilot initially told flight attendants to keep everyone seated while he talked to the control tower. 90 seconds later, a flight attendant spotted flames. >> from their views, the attendants revealed to our investigators they tried to
7:05 am
expedite the passenger evacuation procedures by directing passengers to doors that weren't as crowded and they were also fighting the fire. >> reporter: hersman said rescue trucks arrived within two minutes and began battling the blaze within three minutes. two emergency slides deployed inside the plane, pinning two flight attendants. two other members ss of the crew were ejected. >> two were found in their seats outside of the airplane. these were seated in the rear of the cabin. >> reporter: some of the flight attendants appeared emotional at a news conference wednesday. the remaining six the ntsb wants to interview are still in the hospital. one of the pilots told ntsb investigators he was blinded by a flash of light about 500 feet in the air. that would have been about 34 seconds before impact. the ntsb has not yet said if that flash of light may have had any impact on the crash.
7:06 am
anthony and norah. >> ben tracy, thanks. remarkable how calm some callers were. closing arguments will start today in the george zimmerman murder trial. he's charged in the shooting death of teenager trayvon martin. yesterday brought more tension between the judge and the defense team. mark strassmann is at the courthouse in sanford, florida. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. judge nelson has to make a key ruling before those closing arguments can begin. should the jury be allowed to consider lesser charges of manslaughter and aggravated assault. if she does zimmerman's defense team has a new worry. this jury could acquit him of murder but convict him on a compromised verdict. >> you're aware that during this trial you have the absolute right to remain silent. do you not have to say anything do anything or prove anything. is that correct? >> yes, your honor. >> reporter: george zimmerman will not tell his story in court. 13 days of testimony included this video of zimmerman's re-enactment for detectives. his defense team saw no need to
7:07 am
risk putting him on the stand to be cross examined by prosecutor prosecutors. >> he's given his statement five, six times now so the jury has that and we just decided there was enough evidence in there. >> reporter: this trial's final day of testimony yesterday had unusual moments and tense ones. >> -- a lot people from -- >> can you get to your point? >> at one point, the judge bristled when she directly asked zimmerman whether she would testify and the defense lawyer objected. >> have you made a decision, sir, as to whether or not you want to testify in this case? >> your honor, i object to that question. >> overruled. have you made a decision as to whether or not you want to testify in this case. >> >> i object to that question. >> overruled. the court is entitled to inquire mr. zimmerman's determination as to whether or not he wants to testify. >> i object to the court inquiring of mr. zimmerman as to his decision about whether or not to testify -- >> your objection is overruled. >> none of the 59 witnesses who
7:08 am
testified for both sides saw how the fight began or ended. so defense lawyers and prosecute prosecutors tried some unusual courtroom theater. they took turns using a mannequin to simulate the final minutes before the fatal shooting. >> so doing this on cement -- >> reporter: the all women jury starting this afternoon will hear up to three hours of closing arguments from each side. they'll begin deliberations some time tomorrow afternoon. i talked to defense lawyer mark o'mara yesterday. he told me that the defense closing argument will essentially tell a jury look this self-defense claim should apply not only to the charge of second degree murder but also to any lesser charges that jurors will consider. anthony, nora. >> mark strassmann thank you. legal analyst jacked for with ed forford with us. we know zimmerman will not testify. what do you make of that testy exchange? >> you have to understand it's an adversarial system inside of the courtroom.
7:09 am
sometimes it becomes confront confrontation confrontational. not always just between lawyer and lawyer. >> why didn't they want even george zimmerman to say he will testify? >> the defense attorneys here feel they want to protect their client from any suggestions here that might be used against him in some fashion. basically, the lawyers are saying we advice him not to take the stand and not to testify. we bleepelieve the jury has heard everything, seen everything they possibly could. sometimes as a lawyer, prosecutor or defense attorney and all of us who tried cases have done it sometimes you have to take on not just the other side but stake out your position in front of the judge. you don't want to antagonize the judge but sometimes it happens. >> expecting the key ruling from the judge this morning. what do you make of the prosecution's effort to get the jury to consider lesser charges? >> even though he's only been charged with murder there are situations where a judge believes if either side arguings it and the judge feels there's a record for it there's facts to support it jurors can consider what are called lesser included offenses. it doesn't always apply. in a situation such as this
7:10 am
now, what i think you're saying is sort of the hedging of your bets. prosecution saying maybe we don't have enough here for a murder. but maybe we could have enough here for a manslaughter. and the defense has to decide well, are we okay with a compromise. or do we want to roll the dice continuing with the gambling analogy. roll the dice on all or nothinging? say, look you've got to say either guilty or not guilty and let us walk out the door. we don't want to consider others. that's a tough call to make, whether the jury should have a chance to look at all the options. >> including both sides using that dummy to make a point, that doll. >> we're such a visual society now that lawyers want to have some sort of visual add. visual aids can be helpful. i wouldn't be surprised if you won't see them pulled out again. the defense wants to have an animated recreation. just an aid form. probably see it today in
7:11 am
additional to a lot of emotion. the surviving suspect in the boston marathon bombing appeared before a judge. tsarnaev came face-to-face with many of the victims. he pleaded not guilty to charges including using a weapon of mass destruction to kill. don dahler was in the courtroom. >> reporter: good morning. it was the first public appearance by the young man since he was captured by police during that chaotic man hunt and arrest back in april. and the security was tight. a police motorcade escorted 19-year-old tsarnaev to court as throngs of people gathered. among then victims of the deadly attack. >> i'm trying to make some sense of what happened to my family. >> reporter: liz's two sons both lost legs in the attack. she says being there made her sick to her stomach but she
7:12 am
wanted to see the accused bomber in person. >> he just showed no remorse. looked like he smirked at everybody and he just -- you know, just had a carefree attitude, like nothing. >> reporter: with a slight russian accident, tsarnaev said not guilty more than half a dozen times as the charges were read. occasionally, he looked to family members and smiled. two relatives wiped away tears while another gave the teen a thumb's up sign. he did not appear to acknowledge any victims. >> he never looked at us. he never turned in our direction. >> reporter: prosecutors claim tsarnaev and his older brother des nate detonated bombs. they are also accused of killing this officer while they were on the run. tamer lynn later died. tsarnaev appeared in court with a bandage on his arm. the hearing lasted less than ten
7:13 am
minutes. as he let, he blew a kiss to his family. >> my impressions and my feelings, he's a punk. he showed no remorse. >> reporter: that hearing took place just down the hall from where reputed mobster whitey bulger is on trial. tsarnaev's trial will start in late september. the department of justice will decide whether to seek the death penalty. >> in canada the worst fears have been realized. that oil train explosion, all 50 people who are missing are now presumed dead. 20 bodies have been found. it is the country's biggest rail tragedy in nearly 150 years. the railway ceo is blaming the engineer for failing to set the brakes. he is in police custody but has not been charged with a crime. another serious medical blow to country music star randy travis. he suffered a stroke last night. the 54-year-old singer was being treated for congestive heart

7:15 am
what do you think -- what signal do you think he's trying to send with that? >> okay i think he's saying that you look at the number and it masks a couple of things. one, a bunch of people have given up looking. so it's worse than we actually think at 7.6%. the second thing, the jobs that have been added, low paying jobs, retail nonprofessional services. nonprofessional jobs. last but not least, another thing that's affecting this number baby boomers. people 55 years and older make up 20% of the workforce. the biggest part of the workforce. and they're retiring to the tune of 10,000 people a day. so that's -- making the numbers a little crazy. i think he's saying that unemployment is what he's watching. and that is what is driving a lot of the decisions they're making. >> also sending a signal to the markets that because it's worse we're not going to end the bond purchasing program so everybody calm down? >> absolutely an effort to
7:16 am
reassure, no question about it. in june they came out of their meeting and they said we may taper this $85 billion a month bond buying program towards the end of the year suggesting the economy was doing better the market went crazy, did not like that. now they're saying look at the minutes, look at what we're saying. we're not going to do anything rash. we're going to keep interest rates low for a long time. we're watching unemployment so carefully till we get down to some level that's comfortable. >> they put a 6.5% target on it initially, saying we won't start raising rates again till we get there. the remarks bebernanke's making now suggests not even then. >> he's doing what he has to do and saying we will fight this and make sure growth comes back in a reasonable manner and do whatever it takes. i actually think that will calm everyone down and they know they'll be no knee jerk rash reactions here. >> for the average consumer who
7:17 am
says how is the economic outlook? >> it's pretty good. corporate america remains in good shape. productivity levels are high. earnings are coming out. we're in earning season. the numbers look good. that's an indicator of how the economy is going to do in the future. the market anticipates the future. that's one of the great things about the stock market. it tells us what's coming. it's continuing to show strong returns. that's a good sign. >> things are getting better just not fast enough for a lot of people. >> yeah, slow. >> mellody, thanks."the new york times" looks at how life is suddenly getting better in egypt. gas lines are gone and police are back on the street. the muslim brotherhood proves it was a conspiracy to ensure the ousted president morsi failed. >> the denver post says lawyers for james holmes are admitting he opens fire at a colorado movie theater last summer. 12 people were killed. 158 wounded.

7:33 am
that's what we're doing. >> he signed up for a super pac called ready for hillary. they're lined up dollars and organizing supporters and also preparing a counterattack across the opposition. few names in poll politics attract more than in clinton. even the gop has her name in her sights. >> don't tell me democrats are lined up for the future. >> there are concerns that if she does not decide to reprise her 2008 role as candidate clinton it may hurt the democrats' chances to keep the white house in 2016. look. you're going to hear wining and sniveling from other potential daent candidates but you hear it all the time. i think it's great benefit to the party. >> be time on her side she's sticking to a speaking circuit that recently included the opening of a child's lie brai
7:34 am
bearing her name. it may not be a presidential library but may be a step toward what many believe is inevitable. no comment from the clinton camp because by law the super pac and the clinton candidacy has to remain clear. but it's clear from looking around this room it's clear what the super pac looks about. while clinton keeps up her speeches. they're going to keep it right here. >> they want to be ready and fully funded if and when hillary decides to run. >> it also sort of sends a message to democrats kind of keep away. now to a story you'll see only on "cbs this morning." a key symbol of the 9/11 terror attacks was uncovered at the former world trade center sightte.
7:35 am
it's called the last column and has been buried underground for years. >> it's called the last columbia because it was the final piece left standing and a signal of the recovery efforts. it became a kind of conner stone for the 9/11 memorial museum. >> reporter: this is a site they haven't seen for years. the world trade center's last column. this is the first time it's been totally uncovered. when you walked into the room and saw it uncovered, the first thoughts that came to your mind? >> it's pure happiness. >> reporter: it sat seven stories below, so massive they had to build the museum around
7:36 am
it. >> it's become a symbol of strength and resilience. you can see the messages of hope and graffiti of remember brans. >> reporter: for months they couldn't reach the remains of their fallen comrades nearby. others followed suit writes messages, taping pictures and turning the last column into a kind of grave marker. it was draped in old glory, the same honor given to all 9/11 victims recovered. >> we're going right now through the process of removing the artifacts and now they're being reapplied right now because we want this last column to stand the test of time. >> reporter: when the museum opens in 2013 everyone wants to read that. there are four touchscreen

7:38 am
symbol of hope. >> and after sandy, the museum hall was swamped under seven feet of water, but the last column came through unscathed protected by its plastic wrapping. museums and memorials cost about $11 billion, about 450 was paid for by the private sector. >> it's still hard to watch. >> i got the chills looking at some of those pieces including the stairs. >> i asked some folks do you think they'll be able to handle it. >> they said you know what? it's something people need to hear. they need to retell a story, but they want people to experience it. >> that was neat for hem to show you some of the technology. >> right. because that wall is so jie jan tick. it towers up. they want you to see every bit of it. you can see every piece of writing it's very cool. you're seven stories down.

7:45 am
exercising? >> right. well researchers in this case look at how much they consider adequate exercise and they found that men had increased their amount of adequate exercise by 1%. women by 4%. that's a good thing. we still need to catch up because men are more likely to exercise than women. >> how much are we supposed to be exercising? >> 150 minutes of moderate activity a week or 75 minutes of activity. that's 30 minute as day for five days a week. >> there's also a new study body. >> the famous apple versus pear. apple carries it in the upper part of the body. pears are more hips and thighs. they look at the bodies on catscans and they found that people with apple shapes carry dangerous fat around their heart, abdominal and aorta.
7:46 am
>> i feel like men tend to be more apple shape, women more pair shaped. >> that's true. that's why they're thought to get heart disease earlier than women. >> can you change it? >> you can. the focus should be on weight loss. carve out that hourgrass shape. but people who have -- >> you have to have some fat on your body aren't you? >> it's all about distribution right? >> but apple-shaped bodies respond very well to a low glie seemic inzens. avoid white bread, rice pasta, and sugar and high intensity exercise, short bursts of interval training are good for the apple shape. >> thank you, good morning. plenty of low clouds and fog surging well onshore today even some drizzle as you approach the coastline. you may need those windshield
