doing. >> a powerful winter storm slammed the west. rain, flash floods, and heavy mountain snow. >> also potentially record high setting temperatures across the u.s. >> what's it like typically in december delivering the mail? >> it's hard work. >> hell no. hillary clinton will not tell trump she's sorry. >> she was going to be beat obama but she was -- she lost. >> in las vegas, the driver accused of mowing down dozens of people told investigators she was stressed out and had been living in her car. one of the americans killed in a suicide bombing in afghanistan was identified as a new york police detective. >> in orlando the seaworld sky tower refused to come down for nearly three hours. >> the cdc is investigating more cases of e. coli linked to

[ cheers and applause ] >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning."

charlie rose and gayle king are off. great to have you guys here. >> great to be here. >> as you wake up in the west, wild winter weather is taking aim at millions. pacific storms are slamming washington, oregon, and california. >> the heavy snow is complicating travel through the mountain passes. several inches fell overnight in northern california. and there are flood watches as rain drenches the low lands. >> reporter: good morning. well, much of the country is having a mild winter so far. that's certainly not true in many parts of the west. here in the san francisco area, the mountain that feeds this swollen stream has received more than 7 inches of rain since sunday. further north, up in oregon, the portland region is having its wettest winter ever. mountains throughout the west are being pummeled with snow. certainly the west winter is

roaring. a powerful storm system making its way across the northwest is packing a dangerous mix of blinding snow, rain, and violent winds. strong enough to knock down power lines. >> when you see the conditions, it's bad. >> reporter: several drivers were left stuck and stranded just southeast of seattle when portions of interstate 90 were buried under snow. >> if we would have known this, we would have turned around and went back. >> if i can help you out, why not? >> reporter: the threat of an avalanche near snoqualmie forced emergency responders to suspend the search for a lost skier. >> i heard a loud boom and then the whole house, it was like it was on a trampoline, it almost

bounced. >> reporter: winds were strong enough to blow this tractor-trailer off the road. more than 35,000 people in the portland area were without power. rain is expected to continue here in the san francisco area on and off through christmas. and if you don't like wet weather, there's lots of snowy weather up in the mountains. >> john, thank you. it's also raining east of the mississippi but the temperatures are out of whack. they'll be in the 50s and 60s today in the northeast. in central park it could be in the 70s on christmas eve. >> reporter: good morning. it's hard to believe we're talking about those sort of temperatures, so close to christmas. you could also consider it a winter heat wave of sorts in terms of what's happening here. temperatures are in the 50s at central park, leaving many here in the northeast pleasantly surprised. >> it's beautiful, absolutely

incredible. >> reporter: at 52 in buffalo, it was beautiful enough for waders and walks in the park. in a city that was slammed by 7 feet of lake-effect snow last year temperatures this week are more likely to inspire long walks on the beach. >> in buffalo, 61 degrees. the focus on christmas eve moves to the northeast and down to the mid-atlantic. the warmest christmas eve anyone alive has seen in that area. >> reporter: more than 2600 record high temperatures have been tied or broken across the lower 48 states this month. in washington, dc, cherry blossoms arrived months ahead of schedule. and in rainy 52-degree chicago, christmas shoppers wore light coats. >> i'm not complaining that it's not snowing right now. but it doesn't feel like christmas yet. >> reporter: but nowhere is this

tale of two climates more obvious than on the ski slopes. this connecticut resort can't even keep the fake snow from melting. while in colorado the real snow just keeps coming. skiers there are enjoying being on the edge of a much larger cold weather band, stretching from park city up to spokane. >> this is a tale of west versus east. we're just watching to see if it's possible that the snowy conditions out west will eventually come eastern. >> reporter: meteorologists say this is just an example of el niño weather. donald trump is bashing hillary clinton in an unusually crude manner. at least one of his words has any been used in a campaign speech. the billionaire called the democrat a liar. a new nationwide poll finds

voters prefer clinton to trump, 47 to 40%. major garrett is in washington is more. >> reporter: good morning. in case you just awoke from a long winter's nap and were wondering, no, the general election has not begun. but donald trump would like voters to imagine him going toe to toe with hillary clinton. that's what this confrontation with clinton is about. other republicans, as so often in this campaign, trying to get a piece of the increasingly obnoxious trump action. >> you really are a loser. >> reporter: at a michigan rally riddled with protestors monday night, donald trump fought through more than a dozen interruptions. >> they're very noncombative people. that's a very weak voice. he's holding up his hands like he's mike tyson. he never threw a punch. >> reporter: but he found time to assail hillary clinton's accusation that isis used trump's words about muslims to recruit followers. >> it turned out to be a lie.

she's a liar. and the last person that she wants to run against is me, believe me. >> reporter: trump also made a bizarre reference to clinton's debate dash to the bathroom that lasted longer than the commercial break. >> sorry. [ laughter ] >> where did she go? i thought she quit. i know where she went. it's disgusting. i don't want to talk about it. >> reporter: and he hit clinton for losing the 2008 nomination. >> she got [ bleep ]. she lost. >> reporter: aside from his turn to yiddish, he talked about vladimir putin's targeted killings of journalists. >> i would never do that. let's see. no, i wouldn't. i would never kill them. but i do hate them. >> reporter: clinton's spokesman says the thrust of her criticism remains true. >> the hateful rhetoric that we

are hearing from donald trump is playing into the hands of isis and other terrorism groups. >> reporter: florida senator marco rubio and other gop rivals have kept the focus on clinton. rubio comes closest to tying clinton in a general election matchup. clinton and texas senator ted cruz are tied at 44%. these numbers come a day after lindsey graham, a candidate whose numbers didn't even register on this most recent poll, dropped out of the race, winnowing the republican field to 13. norah? >> major, thank you. matt bayh is the national political columnist for yahoo! news. good morning. >> hi, guys. >> nice to see you. you heard major call trump "increasingly obnoxious." is this a new low? >> i don't know, we get a new low every week. donald trump is the first shtetl-born candidate. donald trump knows how to keep the attention on him.

he knows how to get the headline, how to say the thing that gets us talking about him. he's the reason he's been the dominant subject in this race and has been polling as high as he has. i don't know if that holds up through the voting. that's what he's great at and that's what he's doing. >> the president addressed this yesterday, saying that essentially donald trump is exploiting the fears of blue collar men in particular. >> yeah, i mean, the president has said -- you know, this is -- i think the president feels the need to address it, in a sense, because it has been the dominant factor that we've talked about in the race. and it's a population of the electorate that's been clearly strengthened. this goes back for decades in conservative politics, i covered ross perot, you remember that, norah, i covered jesse ventura in minnesota. there is a very dissatisfied conservative piece of the electorate. it goes back really as far as

george wallace. i think it's been exceptionally activated, strengthened, intensified by the trump campaign because he speaks to that part of the electorate and manipulates those emotions in a way that very few elected politicians in the last few years have been willing to do. >> are you surprised thabout je bush's comments about trump being a recruitment tool for isis? >> he wants to show conservative voters he's tough enough and willing to go after hillary clinton. conservative voters assume clinton is going to be the nominee, they want to know who is going to take it to her in a strong and confrontational way. he had to make that calculation. it's late for him to turn this thing around. where he's gone in the last week, attacking trump in a way that speaks to the broader

republican electorate, the voters who aren't trump voters, is probably what he ought to have been doing weeks ago. in afghanistan, there is fierce fighting. since sunday, seven americans have been killed. we now know the identities of two of the victims. margaret brennan is at the pentagon with the danger americans still face in afghanistan. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the death of these americans, six airmen and one u.s. aid worker, are a stark reminder that the war in afghanistan is still raging long after president obama declared that the u.s. combat mission had ended. >> it was too hard. >> reporter: it was the call that the akbary family never wanted to get. >> he says, i'm really sorry to give you the bad news. your daughter is shot.

>> reporter: u.s. authorities informed him that his daughter lisa, a 35-year-old u.s. aid worker, was shot from behind on sunday by a neighbor that afghan authorities say has advertise to terrorists. >> it's just not a safe place. and then this last time my dad, me, everyone was against her going. >> reporter: lisa's sister said the former u.s. army researcher spent the last three years of her life in kabul, helping needy women and children. >> she wanted to go back. she really needed to go back. she wanted to help people. that was her main goal. >> reporter: another fatal attack occurred north of kabul on monday, when a suicide bomber drove a motorcycle packed with explosives into a group of u.s. and afghan forces on patrol. the taliban took credit for the ambush, which happened nearby bagram airfield, the largest remaining u.s. military air base in afghanistan. one of the six americans killed was a 15-year veteran of the new york police department, detective joseph lem. he was serving with the u.s. air

national guard. the pentagon recently warned that both isis and taliban insurgents have gained ground since the drawdown of international forces last year. national security analyst michael o'hanlon just returned from afghanistan. >> the threat remains roughly constant. the insurgency is resilient. we have 100,000 fewer combined forces. >> reporter: the pentagon will release the names of those killed. four of them were agents of the air force office of special investigations. one of them a female major. this deepening violence is why president obama reversed course and decided to leave 9800 u.s. troops in afghanistan through next year. >> margaret brennan, thank you, margaret. a texas grand jury has refused to indict sheriff's officials or jailers for the jailhouse death of sandra bland. the 28-year-old woman was found dead in her cell after being arrested in july. the sheriff says she hanged

herself. but bland's family disputes that. dash cam video shows the traffic stop that turned into a confrontation. the grand jury will decide in january if the state trooper should be charged in that arrest. the oregon woman who police say deliberately ran her car onto a crowded las vegas sidewalk could appear in court today. police say 24-year-old lakesha holloway killed one person sunday night and hurt 40 more. she faces a murder charge. holloway told police she was stressed after security guards chased her from multiple parking lots. so far there is no indication the case is linked to terrorism. scientists this morning are celebrating a major milestone in space technology. for the first time, a rocket's massive booster landed safely on the ground after liftoff. anna werner has more. >> reporter: good morning, norah. you might call it a high flying cost saving move.

gets its new and improved falcon 9 rocket back to earth means that spacex can use it again, saving the company millions of dollars. the successful launch of the new falcon 9 rocket was just the first obstacle for spacex to overcome. after lifting off, to put 11 satellites into space, the big challenge was getting the rocket's first stage booster back on earth in one piece. [ cheers and applause ] >> spacex is now clear to resume space station cargo delivery flights. >> reporter: two previous landing attempts ended in disaster, including this one back in april. but that didn't deter the founder of spacex, tesla ceo elon musk, who tweeted this, "there and back again." jeff bezos, founder of amazon,

responded with this tweet congratulating spacex. >> amazon founder jeff bezos successfully recovered a rocket earlier this fall, but that rocket was only going to suborbital altitudes, much less than the falcon 9 experienced. >> reporter: to be successful, spacex must be profitable, which includes being able to reuse those $60 million rockets. >> this landing was a major, perhaps historic achievement. it could be the first step toward dramatically lowering launch costs. >> reporter: musk says this rocket is the tester. it will be studied and inspected to see how it weathered the launch and landing. spacex hopes to start reusing the rockets next year. one of pro football's most exciting players is appealing a

airplane, keep it flying like this. >> reporter: usually when someone makes it into the cockpit of one of jet blue's multi-million dollar flight simulators, he or she is already a seasoned pilot. or the occasional report. >> this looks good. >> we're not off the ground yet. >> reporter: that is about to change as the airline is experimenting with hiring pilots. calling the program growthway 7 jet blue will soon accept 24 people with little or no aviation experience and train them to be a co-pilot by 2020. >> it doesn't matter how many hours pilot's time you have or thousands or thousands or a few, the standards are the same. you have to meet the proficiency standards to be qualified and have the faa certification certificate. >> reporter: we visited the jet blue training center this year, security in training warren christy. >> it's a scientific method we use to train. we check a lot of data on pilot training performance, along with

our other groups so we know where additional emphasis is required >> reporter: the airlines says these pilots will meet the minimum 1,500 satellite hours and going through an unprecedented level of screening. >> it's also like a strem training. it will attract young people into a profession possibly they have not considered before. getting them when they're just starting in the flying program i think is a good idea. >> and comes at a time when smaller airlines are already having enough trouble finding enough pilots. an aviation could you tellant and faa -- consultant, and official. is it necessary, is this pilot shortage a real deal? >> there has been a reduction in the number of young people getting into flying. there are tremendous amount of people retiring from flying at the same time. so it's kind of losing it on both end a little bit. so we need to find more innovative ways to get young people involved. >> reporter: the regional airline association, which

represents smaller carriers, is hoping to create a faster path to the cockpit. each proposal calls for a program to train pilots saying in a statement, it contains substantial enhancements that reach a higher level of safety than current flight training pathways and offers a meaningful and quantifiable measure of experience for pilot training. the airline pilots association is expressing concern saying the current project should not be used to undermine the current faa regulations that ensures safety is paramount for "cbs this morning," kris van cleave, washington. >> i wonder if the airlines will let you know when you get a newly trained pilot? >> i guess not. >> guess who you are flying with. amazon fulfillment center, we went there to see how last minute shoppers can get their gifts delivered in just one hour. that's only on "cbs this morning". the force is strong with this

new research reveals how to dramatically increase the new research reveals the dramatic chances of surviving a heart attack. but the early signs that may show up as much as a month earlier. ♪

♪ new research finds sudden cardiac arrest, long thought to be a deadly condition that strikes without warning, isn't so sudden. the study shows many patients missed or even ignore the early warning signs, sometimes weeks earlier. the survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest is less than 7%, but with early detection and medical intervention, that rate jumps to 32%. our dr. tara narula is a cardiologist at lennox hill hospital here new york. >> good morning. >> 350,000 people die because of this so what does the study find. >> the prognosis of sudden cardiac arrest is really dismal. as you mentioned, less than 10% survival. most people die within 10 minutes. it strikes people in the prime of their life, around the age of 65. even when they recover, many are left with neurological damage, hypoxic brain injury. in this study researchers found

there may be key windows of intervention prior to the actual arrest. they looked at 839 patients who had sudden cardiac arrest and then got information about the four weeks preceding the arrest and in fact found about 51% had at least one symptom prior to the cardiac arrest. in addition, 80% had symptoms at least an hour or greater before the arrest and over 90% had symptoms within the 24 hours preceding the arrest. unfortunately, only 12% sought medical help with a doctor for their symptoms and only 19% called ems when they had symptoms. >> so what are those symptoms? >> the symptoms they identified primarily were chest pain in about 46%, shortness of breath in about 18%. some nonspecific symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, back pain in about 20%. flu-like symptoms in 10% and palpatations. >> so how is sudden cardiac arrest different from a heart attack.

>> a heart attack is a circulation problem. the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart muscle get blocked. that causes death of the heart muscle tissue or cells. many people can survive and do survive heart attacks. sudden cardiac arrest is an electrical malfunction of the heart where it stops beating. that essentially shuts down the entire pumping function of the heart, which means no blood is going anywhere, to the brain, to the vital organs, so you lose your pulse, you lose consciousness and you die relatively quickly unless you receive cpr or defibrillation. >> if you recognize you have some of these symptoms, what can you do for intervention. >> the most important thing is not to minimize or ignore the symptoms, especially itch they are chest pain or shortness of breath and especially if you have risk factors for coronary heart disease which causes 70% of cardiac arrest. so high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes. >> and are those the same with each gender, men and women? >> men are two to three times in general to have sudden cardiac

arre arrest. but both men and women reported the same frequency of having symptoms. men tended to have more chest pain and women tended to have more shortness of breath. >> listen to your body. >> absolutely. and those people who call ems in the study were 32% likely to survive as oppose to 6% who did not call ems, so early intervention is key. >> really important knowledge. all right, dr. tara narula, thank you so much. a breakthrough in iceland could transform the world's green energy industry. next we find out how one engineer's idea could help other countries deliver clean and cheap power. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪ ...from the lindt master chocolatiers. a hard outer shell with a smooth center. welcome to the best time of your day. unwrap. unwind. experience... the melt. only the lindor truffle. for the holidays, experience our meltingly-smooth
