7:04 am
tractor trailer slammed head-on into a bus full of high school students. the teenagers were headed from the los angeles area to humboldt state university in northern california, a 13-hour bus ride when the accident happened. what was left was a mangled mess of metal engulfed in flames. >> it slammed together. and i just kind of see black, but there's fire at the front of the bus, it's crushed in the front. >> reporter: police say five students are dead as well as five chaperones. dozens more are injured. very little is left of the truck and the bus. >> yeah, everything is completely burned. the fire got on the scene pretty quick, but by the time they got here it was completely engulfed. >> reporter: he was stunned to learn his girlfriend was on the bus. >> when i first heard the news
7:05 am
of the bus crash, i got worried, i found out that it was her bus. >> reporter: jeremy lockett was driving on the i-5 freeway when he pulled over and captured these photos. >> i have never seen anything like that. >> reporter: police here are hoping these knot bound lanes of i-5 will be open by mid-morning. a team has left washington on their way here to begin their investigation to figure out the causes of this accident. >> john, thanks. a sudden shakeup in the obama administration. kathleen sebelius is resigning. she oversaw the affordable care act. jan crawford is outside the department's headquarters in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in some ways, the remarkable thing is that sebelius lasted this long, but president obama
7:06 am
resisted calls to fire her. he'll announce in about an hour, 8:00 p.m. pacific time that she's decided to step down. this will be one of kathleen sebelius' legacy, a website that didn't work. launched in october with great fanfare. >> thank you, kathleen sebelius, for the outstanding work that she's doing. >> reporter: she assured the white house and congress that healthcare.gov website was ready, instead it crashed on takeoff. >> i think it's fair to say that nobody's more frustrated by that than i am. >> reporter: as the top official who oversaw the rollout, sebelius became fodder for late-night comedians. >> i'm going to try and download every movie every made. and you're going to download obama care and we'll see what
7:07 am
happens first. >> reporter: she was on the hot seat in congress where she took the blame. >> i'm accountable. >> reporter: after the rock twoey rollout, the website slowly did get fixed. 7.50 million people enrolled. a number that exceeded projections. sebelius has run hhs since obama took office in 2009, coming to washington after serving as a popular democratic governor of kansas. she was so highly regarded she even suggested as candidate obama's vice presidential pick. despite pressure inside and outside the white house for months to fire her, the president stood by the secretary. but sebelius made clear that the decision to leave was hers. in an interview yesterday with the "new york times" she said that she would not be here to turn out the lights in 2017 at the end of the president's term.
7:08 am
now, the president will announce this morning, her successor will be sylvia matthews burwell, she'll oversee the next phase of the health care law, that of course, when people start trying to use their new insurance. norah. >> thank you. search crews looking for malaysian flight 370, the hunt is now centered in a 500 square mile patch of the indian ocean, the size of los angeles. seth doane is in beijing where they sound more confident that the plane may be found. seth, good morning. >> reporter: that's right. good morning to you, norah. we had tony abbott, australia's prime minister here as you mentioned in china today and he did appear more confident saying that he believes those signals coming from the deep were indeed connected to flight 370.
7:09 am
>> we very much narrowed down the search area and we are very confident that the signals that we are detecting are from the black box on mh37 on 0. >> reporter: abbott qualified his comments later in the day, confidence in the approximate position of the black boxes wasn't the same as recovery wreckage. that's something that we have heard all along from angus houston who is coordinating the search. he reported today that data analysis of that fifth possible signal is unlikely to be related to the aircraft black boxes. planes continue dropping those sonar buoys to aid in the acoustic search and the ocean shield is dragging that pinger locater through the ocean. until they're confident it has run out. investigators say the decision
7:10 am
to launch the underwater vehicle could in their words could be some days away. meanwhile, in malaysia, police officials there will be conducting more interviews as they look into the criminal side of this investigation and a senior police official tells cbs news today, they'll be reaching out into intelligence group for help investigating the passengers and crew. charlie. >> seth, thanks. olympic track star oscar pistorius returned to the witness box this morning and the vigorous cross-examination didn't let up. debora patta is in pretoria, south africa where the athlete admitted mistakes in his testimony. >> reporter: reeva's family looked on in intently, as oscar pistorius told the court he never heard reeva stooen kamp
7:11 am
scream four times. pistorius maintains he mistook her as burglar. the prosecutor challenged his version, saying it was implausible. >> did she scream at all chillst you shot her four times? >> no, my lady. >> are you sure? are you sure, mr. pistorius, that reeva did not scream after the first shot? >> reporter: there was a long pause as pistorius struggled to compose himself, twisting his words, nel suggested that he be given time to compose himself. >> my lady, at no point, did reeva shout out or scream, i wish she let me know that she was there. >> you see, just listen to my question, after you fired the first shot, did she scream? >> no my lady. >> are you sure?
7:12 am
>> yes, my lady. >> reporter: pistorius was clearly taking strain on this fifth day in the witness box, he looked pale and his voice quivered as he contradicted hiself and fort his own testimony and made a series of damaging mistakes, he now has the weekend ahead of him as he has to mentally prepare himself for another morning by the profession cushion. the suspect of a deadly crash at a florida day care center is due in court this morning, 28-year-old robert c e corchado turned himself in, he's accused of hitting another car that crashed into a kindercare. one girl was killed. the nasdaq is down even more this morning after its deepest drop in more than two years, the
7:13 am
nasdaq tumbled more than 3%. investors cashed out of previously high-flying tech stocks. anthony mason is here. anthony, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. i think there was no single catalyst for this fall yesterday, which made it puzzling. remember, we're in the midst of a five-year bull market. we haven't had a correction since 2011. as the fed is starting to alter its course, people are pulling back, wait a second, are we too high? >> but do you think the party for tech stocks is over? >> i think a lot of people are looking at and saying, they have had an incredible run and i'm going to pull back here. the big question on everybody's minds is, when is the fed going to raise interest rates? you get these constant readjustments right now.
7:14 am
if the fed raises interest rates, the cost of money goes up. how does the economy adjust to that? is there going to be an adjustment period? and, as that adjustment is made, the market is going to have to adjust. >> all right, anthony, thank you. the next host of the late show, stephen colbert is getting a big thumbs up. cbs made the announcement after david letterman announced that he's retiring next year. >> reporter: good morning to our viewers in the west, when stephen colbert takes over the late show sometime next year. as a fresh set of hosts from three broadcast networks all battle it out to find out who will be the new king of late night. >> i got to tell you, i do not envy whoever they try to put in
7:15 am
that show. >> reporter: with that stephen colbert announced that he was making the jump to cbs. fellow late-night comedians wasted no time. >> i have a big mistake. starting in 206 conservatives. >> bill, you've got me all wrong. i agree with every single word you're saying even if those words don't agree with each other. >> reporter: colbert will not be leading the show with his character but leslie moonves promises he'll have creative freedom. >> this is a once-in-a-getion .
7:16 am
>> bill o'reilly was pleased. i hope colbert will consider me for the ed mcmahon spot. >> reporter: stephen colbert's comedy roots on the daily show. >> for stephen we're just thrilled. >> dave, it's actual le me. >> reporter: last december he appeared on the late show to promote the hobbit, which he had a bit part. >> reporter: in a statement, letterman said that stephen has always been a real friend to me. i'm very excited for him and i'm latered that cbs chose him. i also happen to know they wanted another guy with glasses. last night, colbert returned the affections. >> folks, those are some house
7:17 am
shoes to fill. >> reporter: wherever the late show will continue to broadcast from new york or move to los angeles when colbert takes over, it's still unclear. also uncertain is the future of craig ferguson was passed over for the job. >> colbert is a great choice. >> fantastic choice. >> he knows everything about the hobbits. >> he's a great questioner. not only funny but can question really well. time to show you some of this morning's headlines. general motors is fixing another defect in more than 2 million cars recalled for faulty switches. the lock cylinder where the ignition key is inserted. the motive behind the school stabbing remains a mystery in

7:45 am

7:47 am
anderson doesn't deserve imprisonment now. the state attorney general has until next week to respond, and a court could schedule a hearing next month. >> reporter: what do you think your chances are? >> i'm a man of faith and i believe my chances are in the hands of god, 100% favorable my way. i have to believe that. kimt believe anything else. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning" dean reynolds, charleston, missouri. >> i think the man should get a pardon under these circumstances. >> that's right. >> a, he was convicted but the man who was robbed said i don't think he should go to prison. >> the fact that the victim says that says volumes. they need to figure something else out. >> plenty of clouds around the bay area and looks like they will be hanging around a little bit longer especially along the coastline. you will see a lot of cloud cover there today. we have seen some drizzle early

for years. president obama is announcing his replacement for health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius who is resigning. sebelius will step down six months after the failed rollout of the health care website. she took the blame for computer glitches that prevented millions from enrolling in health care last fall. the former kansas governor is an original member of the obama cabinet. the president expected to nominate white house budget director sylvia matthews burwell to run hhs. well, it didn't take long, just days to find the "late night" successor to david letterman. stephen colbert will take over some time next year. ben tracy spoke with the man who made the choice, president and ceo, leslie moonves. >> he'd be the greatest replacement for david letterman we could ever find. we got our guy. >> this man has influenced every host who came after him and even a few who came before him. he's that good. >> reporter: leslie moonves says hiring stephen colbert was a

>> stephen is so multitalented, good at improv, at interviewing, at sketch comedy. >> reporter: were there other serious people in contention? >> the one that stood out was stephen colbert. >> reporter: moonves says the colbert deal got done in less than a week. >> stephen want this had and so did we. we made it happen quickly. >> reporter: when you make a phone call to a guy like stephen colbert and say, i want you to be our guy, what does he say to you? >> he kept thanking me for this opportunity and telling me he wouldn't let me down. it was a great conversation and, you know, i'm feeling very good about it. >> tonight, did the cia go too far to fight terrorism? if you answered yes, the drones are on the way. >> reporter: "the late show" will likely stay in new york. colbert lives on the east coast. but moonves says they still have time to decide. >> we're being wined and dined by new york, l.a., skon cconnec new jersey. it's nice to be the prettiest girl at the dance. >> reporter: you mate as well ride that game for another year.

8:07 am
colbert is such a hard worker and such a brilliant comic. even during the writers strike, he and two other people wrote his entire show and he memorized the whole thing because under union rules he wasn't allowed to use the teleprompt er. i think the fact letterman had a big part in this selection process, the fact that he and colbert have a relationship, the fact that it really feels like a passing of the baton. >> and the fact he's not doing it in character. most of us know him because of his stephen colbert character. do you have any concerns about that or viewers should have concerns about that? >> i think a lot of "comedy central" fans are disappointed because they like that character. people are concerned. nobody really know this is guy. a lot of people who do know him or have interviewed him or had him on their shows seem to be very confident that he's incredibly likeable -- >> smart. >> he has a reputation as one of the really great talents of his generation. i think people -- some people who know him are excited to see him branch out beyond the
8:08 am
character. it's ken years in one character is a long time. >> universally well received. >> was this a surprise or in many ways was cbs eyeing stephen colbert for a long time? >> we don't know what conversations were happening before dave made that announcement last week. and it does seem pretty fast to have it all done in one week. if we take les moonves at his word, this happened quickly and a lot of people called and stephen colbert was one of them. so it's possible that was it. >> why would you not take les moonves at his word? but don't you -- i have to say, and i'm not just saying it because i work here, what a great way to handle it to do it fast, to do it cleanly, and just stop all the speculation. >> i think in this era of social media and constant internet commentary you don't want to leave something like that out there festering. you want to get it done. and now they can focus on transition and i think dave can probably enjoy a year of high
