objects in the southern indian ocean. no one in the mudslide's path have been found alive since saturday. >> officials now believe up to 24 people are dead. with scores still missing. >> we're going at this hard to get everybody that's out there that's missing. an absolute monster storm system off the coast of new england. blizzard conditions at times expected downeast maine into cape cod. >> i love winter. just not in march and april. three secret service agents were sent home for misconduct just before president obama arrived in the netherlands. >> the agents went out for a night of drinking. >> one of them was allegedly found passed out in a hotel hallway. terrifying moments when a construction worker had to be rescued from an enormous fire in houston. >> oh, thanks, jesus. thank you, god. the man crawls onto the ladder, but the ordeal is not over yet. >> oh, no! my god! this massive wall of dust moved through parts of central arizona.

>> reduced visibility and treacherous driving conditions. this morning nasa reporting an engine snag will keep the soyuz capsule from arriving at the international space station. all that -- >> the first base line. he ran into him and it's getting a little chippy. it could get a lot chippy. gwyneth paltrow and chris martin are separating. they made it in "unconscious coupling." president obama taking a direct swipe at vladimir putin. >> russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors, not out of strength, but out of weakness. >> on "cbs this morning." >> russia's actions don't pose the number one national security threat. i continue to be much more concerned with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in manhattan. >> i think i just made a pooh-pooh. >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places.

welcome to "cbs this morning." norah o'donnell is off. cl clarissa ward is here. malaysian airlines flight 370, new satellite images show more than 100 potential objects in the southern indian ocean. >> officials say they may have come from the plane. seth doane is in kuala lumpur where a news briefing ended a short time ago. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. authorities here released new satellite images today that revealed 122 possible objects in the southern indian ocean. they calculated the size of those objects between roughly 3 feet and about 75 feet, which is about the size of a tennis court. those objects are about 1500 miles off the coast of perth, australia. the acting transport minister held up those images in the press briefing earlier today and explained how satellites were

able to look through -- peer through gaps in the clouds to see what he called white dots which were those possible objects. these in the water not far from where other countries' satellite data showed objects there. he said that this was one of the most credible leads so far. this was malaysia's acting transport minister. >> we have now had four separate satellite leads from australia, from china, and france. showing possible debris. it's now imperative that we link the debris to mh370. >> reporter: authorities have passed along that information to australian officials who will take the search from there. this, of course, charlie and clarissa, as families wait for more answers. >> seth doane, thank you. the search for flight 370 resumed this morning after the weather improved. holly williams is in perth, australia, where our cameras were allowed to witness part of

the search firsthand. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there is excitement here over those new satellite photos that you just heard about from seth. and now there is a race to find exactly where flight 370 went down and hopefully its black boxes. cbs news flew on a p-3 orion search plane today with the new zealand air force. 1,500 miles off australia's west coast, they were just a few hundred feet over the sea, combing the waters for fragments of the malaysian airlines jet. >> this is affecting a lot of people. definitely to come out and put some closure on something for them, you know, would be awesome. >> reporter: an australian naval ship and a chinese icebreaker are also in the search area, carrying out a surface sweep. the search zone has been narrowed down with the help of satellite data, but it's still roughly the size of alaska.

experts believe most of the plane's wreckage possibly sank, so the crews here are hunting for clues that will help them find an underwater debris field. that's when they'll begin to use this american robotic submarine. it uses sonar to locate objects up to 20,000 feet under the ocean surface. the u.s. navy has also sent something called a toad pinger located to australia which hones in on sounds emitted by the plane's black boxes. if they can be found, investigators may finally discover why flight 370 plunged into the southern indian ocean. along with the 239 people on board. the problem is that toad pinger locator can't be used until they find a small debris field. now, they still haven't done that, and the transponders on the black boxes may only have 12 days of battery life left. charlie? clarissa? >> thanks, holly.

another tragedy, day five of a desperate search in northern washington. the likely death toll from saturday's mudslide is now at two dozen. and more than 100 other people in the town of oso are still unaccounted for. >> this morning emergency management officials say local residents knew there was a landslide risk in the area. danielle nottingham is in darington, washington, outside oso where rescuers are still digging in difficult conditions. danielle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to our viewers here in the west. thunderstorms have been pounding the area all night long, adding to the muddy conditions that have been hampering rescue effortses since saturday. this morning those mourning their loved ones are wondering if something more should have been done to prevent this disaster. rescuers have already pulled 16 bodies from the debris with another 8 waiting to be retrieved. this new video shows the hills of oso, washington, moments after saturday's mudslide took

at least 16 lives. newly released 911 recordings capture the despair of nearby residents. >> i can't believe this. oh, my god. >> there are people yelling for help! >> they're trapped. i can hear them tapping underneath. >> okay. >> and yelling at us. >> it's all gone. >> reporter: survivor robin youngblood says all she has left is this painting, a prized possession that happened to rise to the surface of the debris flow. she was with a friend in her home when a 25-foot wall of mud burst through her living room wall. >> we were moving. we were under water. under mud. we had mud in our hair, eyes, nose, mouth. nothing was stable enough to stand on. so i just kept yelling at her to dig herself out even if it hurt. >> reporter: some 30 homes were destroyed. now questions are being raised about whether people should have been allowed to live in this area in the first place. >> this study, i think, should have served as a red flag. >> reporter: geologist dan miller authored a government

study 15 years ago, warning that the oso area was likely to experience a catastrophic mudslide. >> i was surprised that permits were being given for building in that area. initially my reaction was anger. you know, i thought this was a stupid thing to be doing. >> that whole mountain is unstable. it's still unstable. i only bought the house two years ago. nobody forewarned me. nobody told any of us as far as i know. >> reporter: the county's emergency management director, john pennington, says residents in oso knew the area could be dangerous. >> the homeowners in this particular community and throughout snohomish county were very aware of the slide potential. >> reporter: authorities are still looking into reports of 176 people still unaccounted for. ♪ amazing grace >> reporter: a vigil was held tuesday night to mourn the lives lost in washington with prayers that survivors might still be found.

the rain is expected to continue today. local rescue and search personnel are getting some much needed help. teams from the washington army national guard and fema have arrived to help with the land and air rescue efforts. charlie and clarissa? >> danielle, thank you. newly released video shows the first helicopter to respond to the mudslide pulling out this 4-year-old victim. a rescuer on the ground was able to get to the boy. they used a rope to get him out of the mud. the boy's father, billy spillers, and three brothers and sisters are still missing this morning. and the body of commander john was recovered yesterday. he served in the navy for 32 years. his sons and brothers found the body. his wife is still missing. we want to look at the storm's impact on the search and what all of you in the west can expect from the wet weather. meteorologist megan glarros of wbbm is with us in studio 57. megan, good morning. >> good morning to you, charlie

and clarissa. good morning to those of you in the west. the pacific northwest starting off with potentially heavy rain through today. and that extends down into southern california over the next two days. we're looking at several waves of precipitation coming on shore likely totalling some precipitation totals, rainfall totals, about .10 around san diego, los angeles and las vegas. but it gets progressively heavier heading up to the north where it's nearly two inches in the next 48 hours for seattle. now, along the east coast, we're looking at a very strong low-pressure system that is going to create possible hurricane-force winds along cape cod and up across downeast maine. as much as a foot of snow. a near miss for cities like new york and boston. where winter still continues. clarissa? charlie? >> thank you. and that severe winter storm in the east is leaving a mark. the new jersey shore got up to half a foot of snow overnight. cape cod, downeast maine and parts of canada are under a blizzard threat.

michelle miller is in chatham, massachusetts, right on the elbow of cape cod. >> reporter: good morning to you and our viewers on the west. here at chatham harbor, sustained winds churned up heavy surf and near whiteout conditions with forecast of hurricane-force winds throughout the day. just before 4:00 a.m., snow started to whip through the cape as wind gusts reached nearly ll miles an hour. it's all part of a weather pattern that has been making its way up the eastern seaboard. on tuesday, flurries coated parts of north carolina, virginia and pennsylvania. before the storm made its way up to massachusetts early wednesday. it's just the latest round in a brutal winter, and cape cod locals are hoping it is the last. >> just one more, that's it. >> reporter: john is the manager at tru value in chatham where they nearly ran out of shovels. >> we thought it was over. >> reporter: with upwards of eight inches expected on some

parts of the cape, customers are still straggling in, picking up the last of the shovels and salt, steering clear of fertilizer and seed as we near april. the start of jaworski's most profitable season. >> if it was january or february, yeah, it would be great for business. but not the end of march. kind of ready for spring and summer. >> reporter: local officials are bracing for scattered power outages throughout the area. they're warning motorists to stay off the roads, mariners to stay off the water. the snow is expected to end by this afternoon. but the forecast says these wind gusts will be around throughout this evening. clarissa? charlie? new developments for the health care law. this morning time is running out to sign up for insurance for open enrollment or pay a penalty. the deadline is monday. but the obama administration is offering an extension with a catch. jan crawford is in washington with how a sudden increase in applicants could tie up the website. jan, good morning. >> good morning.

the white house, as you know, has been saying repeatedly march 31st, monday, that's the deadline deadline. they're not changing it. with it six days away, they're backing off on that. here's what's happening. as long as you can say you tried to enroll before monday's deadline, you can get more time. and this is the honors system. all you've got to do is check a box on your form that you've been trying to sign up. the obama administration says it's doing this because it's seeing, you know, as you know, this recent surge in enrollment. it's been on that kind of full-court press lately to get as many people as possible to show up -- to sign up. but republicans are saying, look. this is just more delays for a law that isn't going to work no matter how often the administration changes it. charlie and clarissa? >> ya >> jan, thanks. president obama meets with european and nato leaders in belgium. but in the netherlands tuesday, he dismissed russia's influence and said he's got bigger security concerns. >> russia is a regional power

that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors. not out of strength but out of weakness. they don't pose the number one national security threat to the united states. i continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in manhattan. >> the specific threat he described in that comment drew a reaction from this morning's newspapers in new york. major garrett is traveling with the president on the week-long trip. he is in brussels. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. while the president downplayed the national security interests for america at play in ukraine, he conceded russian forces control crimea will not be ejected by force, and therefore that stalemate will be very hard to reverse. mr. obama also warned russian president vlad miimir putin tha

the united states will use military force if they attack any nato member nation. ukraine and neighboring moldova are not members of nato, but the baltic states of lithuania, latvia and estonia are, and their leaders are nervous about russian military intentions. while in brussels mr. obama will confer with nato leaders about beefing up security activities in those baltic states and nato member nations on the russian frontier. mr. obama said russia is still weighing its military options and using forces massed on the ukrainian border to intimidate the transitional government in kiev. later today in a signature speech through europe, the president will describe russia's threat, the need for unity between the united states and europe and once again appeal to russia not to advance its military forces any further and to seek and negotiate its settlements in crimea. charlie and clarissa? >> major, we're hearing three secret service men who are responsible for protecting the president on his trip have been sent home. what exactly happened?

>> reporter: well, they were drunk on public on sunday, the day before the president arrived in amsterdam for a two-day nuclear security summit. because they were drunk in public, they were sent home in accordance with new disciplinary policies that has a zero-tolerance policy for drinking before working on a presidential detail. this is particularly embarrassing for the secret service because new director julia pierson has been flying with the president aboard air force one and was on the trip and ordered the agents sent home. >> major, thanks. it is time to show you some of this morning's headlines.

the wonderful hollywood life, you know. the great actor, the great story telling, the great directors and the wonderful things hollywood brings you. i wanted to bring that to audiences too. i started in a mail room for an advertising agency after i graduated from college and worked my way to new york. worked for a big agency here, won some awards and got brought out by 20th century fox to work on a movie as an associate producer. that was the starting point. mpkt >> i read that you and the late dawn simpson said when you're pitching a movie, you should be able to pitch it in three words. like bartender, caribbean, tom cruise. that's four words, but tell me about that. >> my partner, he was fantastic. he was a great pitchman. he could sell anything. and he had this thing. you have to sell a movie in two sentences. he would take any story and condense it into two sentences because executives are so busy. they have a meeting outside the door waiting. if you can tell a story in two

sentences, you got a good shot at getting the movie going. >> you know, this is the thing. reading the book, people say such lovely things about you. it made me wish i was an actress. i'd be pitching you for a job right now. people say you're the greatest producer in the business, that you care want a the people you work with. johnny depp wrote the forward for you and calls you a dear friend. the studio didn't want him, but you saw something in him. what did you see that the studio didn't? >> he's an amazing actor. let's put it that way. he's phenomenal. and he'd been in smaller movies. i felt that, you know, "pirates of the caribbean," being a theme park ride, needs to tell the audience something different. this is something special. so you get a great actor like johnny depp who would never do a commercial movie, and look what happens. >> how do you define that x-factor? >> the audience is always looking for something special and new. johnny depp in a big pirate movie, that doesn't sound right, but i want to see it because i want to see what he's going to

bring to it. >> when did you know it's going to be a hit? when is that moment like, oh, we got this? >> second weekend. >> or not. >> and then you make the switch to tv. you haven't made the switch. you're doing both still. what is it about -- what did you want to bring to tv? cbs thanks you. we thank you, jerry, because you brought to tv what you did to the movies. huge hits. how did you make the switch? what are you looking for with tv? >> great writing, great ideas. i mean, giving inside look into something you'll never be a part of. that is "csi," these crime scene investigators are fascinating people. we show you how they actually work and what they do. audiences love it. >> what was the combination? don simpson is a very interesting guy and had a large larger-than-life reputation in hollywood. >> and it continues. >> after his death, yeah. what was it? what was it about, the combination of two of you, other than the aforementioned fact he was a great salesman?

>> well, he's a great story teller. he was president of paramount for a long time. developed 125 projects every year. got 20 movies made. he's inside the system. i was always outside the system. i was on the floor making movies while he was selling movies and trying to sell them to his bosses and then get them going, which is a hard thing to do. and he worked with so many writers. he brought so much to me because i was working in the field. i wasn't working with as many writers as he was. he had a knowledge. when we got pitched a writer, he said, oh, i worked with him two years ago, he's terrible. i learned a lot. it was 13 years. i went to the don school. >> now, i read that you and your wife, you've been married for 38 years. congratulations on that. that's huge in hollywood. you guys actually go to the movie theater. bruce willis says you're still the guy with the hand in the popcorn. you go to the movieings to see your own movies and other movies. >> i love sitting there with everybody with my hand in the popcorn. that's how you watch movies. that's how i grew up. i never want to lose that experience. there's nothing like a movie

theater. we have great televisions now. we can watch it at home. but there's an experience, the opening weekend of a big movie is wonderful to be there and see the excitement of a crowd. and the excitement in the audience when people laugh and applaud. you want to be part of that. >> take us to look at the future. all of the revolution now is upon the entertainment business. how do you see it, and how will you adjust to it? >> we can watch anything anywhere now with an ipad or even on your little phone you can watch something. there's so many ways to watch it. there's nothing like going to the theater. you have a kitchen in your house, right? but you still go out to eat. you want the experience. you really do. >> that's a good way to put it. thank you, jerry. when lightning strikes is on sale now. it's big. ten pounds. one of the world's great chefs,
