jink. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to cbs this morning. prosecutors in oakland, california, say murder charges are possible in friday's deadly warehouse fire. 36 people were killed in the studios and illegal living spaces known as the ghost ship. crews are looking for more possible victims in the rubble of the devastating building. >> investigators have not pinpointed the cause of the fire. they have identified most of the victims. some came from countries outside of the u.s. including finland, guatemala and south korea. david begno is tracking the story. >> reporter: good morning. this is pretty important. the local sheriff who happens to be the coroner told me he does not expect anymore bodies will be found inside of the building where crews have been working throughout the night.
7:04 am
the building is vulnerable. some of the walls are leaning. they've had to pull crews out and shore them back up. the process is slow and methodical. that is because this area is being treated as a crime scene. crews brought in a large crane as a criminal investigation is underway. >> we're looking at two things. one is whether or not there is any criminal liability attached to this fire and secondly if there is criminal liability, against whom. >> reporter: the alameda district attorney said charges could range from involuntary manslaughter to murder. firefighters are zeroing in on a cause while recovering victims. they are using buckets to separate remains from personal possessions and building materials. efforts were suspended for hours early on monday because of safety concerns. >> this morning at 2:20 we went back in and resumed recovery operations.
7:05 am
at this time we've been able to search through the building and clear approximately 85% of the building right now. >> reporter: shelly mack said she rented a trailer. she took this video which she says shows the potentially hazardous conditions inside. >> you turned on a heater and your electricity -- everybody's electricity would go off. it was continually overloaded. >> reporter: property records show there were numerous complaints including two last month citing a ton of garbage piling up at the building and an illegal interior building structure. because this is now a criminal investigation, officials say some details may not be released publicly. >> we would not want to compromise the district attorney's ability to hold people responsible who committed this potential atrocity. >> reporter: we have not been able to find the woman who owns this warehouse. for the past two days we have gone to her home.
7:06 am
there is rain on the way. they expect it could rain for a few days. crews are aware of that. they are working quickly. they are not going to rush this. it is too sensitive a case. >> david, thank you. the man who ran the ghost ship enclave arrived at the scene early this morning. victims have a lot of questions for derek alemema. he would not talk to her. she joins us with how the community is dealing with this enormous loss. >> absolutely, gayle, as you can see this morning the owner of the ghost ship had nothing to say. the poster made by a seventh grade class sums it all up. always loved, never forgotten. in their final moments some of the victims were able to send out text messages to family and friends. they say they knew their fate and loved them.
7:07 am
hundreds packed the vigil monday night. they yelled out the names of those they had lost as lake merit served as a tranquil back drop for a broken community to grieve. >> this is a tragedy for what i call the soul of oakland which is our artists and musicians. >> darlene and this woman is a stranger. they told us that warehouses are common places for struggling artists to live in the oakland area. >> i've been in warehouses like that. i've hung out there. i've had friends who lived there. this could have been me. >> reporter: but the artists weren't the only focus. some hugged and shook the hands of oakland firefighters thanking them for risking their own lives late friday night. to the people who lost those lives in that fire, what do you say to them? >> our whole community is here for you. look at the outpouring of love. they won't be forgotten. >> to imagine the loss of your 17-year-old son is horrifying. >> reporter: the youngest victim has been identified as the son
7:08 am
of an alameda county sheriff's deputy. >> it really touches home with all of our people that worked alongside with our deputies for the past ten years. >> merlena moore is the teen's great aunt. >> he was going to a school in san francisco and he was just a sweet, young man. >> reporter: friends and family spent monday highlighting the best attributes of the victims. >> well rounded. >> high school friends remember 25-year-old nick gomatol as a talented, pass nate musician. >> everyone who knew him is saying wonderful things about him. >> reporter: as this community continues to grieve, there is also a sense of frustration and anger that is coming from people wanting more answers on the housing situation here. they are hoping this tragedy will somehow spark some action. >> thanks. security is tight across the entire los angeles metro transit system this morning because of a
7:09 am
terror threat. more officers and bomb sniffing dogs are on patrol. they say a bomb threat was called in warning of an attack today. the threat targeted the red line train station at universal city, a busy stop for commuters and tourists. investigation is underway to determine how credible the threat is. >> a former south carolina police officer remains free on bail after a mistrial in his murder case. cell phone video captured michael slager shooting a black man who ran from a traffic stop. now the jury was unable to reach a verdict after four days of deliberations. mark strassmann is outside the county courthouse to explain what happened. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. slager's prosecutors thought the video spoke for itself, but a majority of jurors said they were undecided. a mistrial became a possibility last friday when a juror send the judge a note saying in good conscience he or she could not vote guilty against officer michael slager. >> the court, therefore, must
7:10 am
declare a mistrial in this case. >> reporter: after 22 hours of deliberation the slager jury made up of 11 whites and one black announced they were at an impasse, unable to reach a verdict. >> the fight isn't over. that was round one. we've got two more rounds to go. >> reporter: the key evidence was this cell phone video which shows former police officer michael slager firing five rounds into the back of a fleeing, unarmed walter scott. >> i put in my mind there was no other way to put it. >> santana recorded the shooting on his cell phone. >> what would you say to that holdout juror who saw your video but said, i can't find him guilty of anything. >> the job was to really do what they felt not do things that they don't feel and that was the decision, i definitely respect that even though i do not agree
7:11 am
with it. >> reporter: dash cam video showed the 50-year-old scott being pulled over for a broken taillight in april of 2015. scott then fled, pursued by slager. >> michael slager -- >> slager took the stand in his own defense at the trial alleging that scott wrestled the taser from his grasp. >> i pulled my firearm and pulled the trigger. >> there was never a struggle. my brother never had the taser. >> anthony scott is walter scott's brother. >> you're disappointed at the mistrial. >> yes. >> are you angry with that juror? >> i'm disappointed in the juror because he was sworn in and took an oath that he would make a decision and i don't think that's what he did. >> reporter: slager's prosecutor said she will retry him as soon as possible. slager's response was they wanted an acquittal. there is no joy in a mistrial
7:12 am
and that that cell phone video shows a compelling but very limited view of what happened between the police officer and walter scott. >> mark, thank you. president-elect trump just made a surprise a neerns front of reporters at trump tower. he was asked about a tweet that he sent this morning when he called for the cancellation of an order with boeing for new air force one jets. mr. trump said the costs are out of control. major garrett is covering the transition and joins us. good morning. >> good morning. more than $4 billion president-elect trump said the current contract boeing has to put together a new fleet of air force one jets is simply ridiculous. he wants boeing to make money, he said, but not that much money. on another front the president-elect welcomed vice president al gore to talk climate change. >> i found it extremely interesting conversation and to be continued. >> former vice president al gore
7:13 am

7:14 am
republican rival ben carson was his nominee for secretary of housing and urban development despite previously stating carson would be tapped for health policy. >> he's going to get very much involved in health care where he's an expert. >> he was raised by a single mother in detroit and will likely be a visible advocate for what transition officials saylike a multi-pronged effort. carson discussed the need to rebuild america's inner cities. >> we have some really major problems in this country. we have to get a handle on it. >> carson lived in subsidized housing as a child but then he walked that back on twitter. democrats have criticized carson's nomination. chuck schumer wrote he has serious concerns about carson's lack of expertise while house minority leader called carson disturbingly unqualified. charlie? >> major, thank you. a transition spokesman says

7:17 am
this matter until president obama is out of office. white house press secretary josh earnest answered questions about the denied easement monday. >> the white house did not and has not been dictating the outcome but rather has been updated by the army corps on the negotiations. >> if the decision changes, do you expect to see people out there protesting again? >> i don't think it's necessary. we won and we have to continue moving forward and trying to work with the trump administration and to make this decision stick. >> reporter: the morton county sheriff says they have arrested 566 people. since december 1st more than $13 million has been spent on law enforcement at the site. that's ruffly $1 million a week. >> wow. what a story. boy, it looks cold there. omar, thank you very much. that blizzard in north dakota is part of an arctic blast taking aim at most of the country. hit the northwest hard yesterday. drivers in portland, oregon, had

7:19 am
we found russian troops. a russian general told us two nurses had been killed in that rebel attack. they are not opposition fighters, they are terrorists. they kill civilians, but it is in the opposition held areas that civilians are bearing the full brunt of this battle. earlier it was the syrians and russians doing the bombing. the syrian's push into eastern aleppo had seen the territory shrinking but it is the might of the military muscle that has changed the game here. this was once a bustling aleppo neighborhood. look at it now. shattered, deserted and lifeless. from inside eastern aleppo we're hearing that the fighting has intensified. the noose is tightening around opposition fighters who refuse to leave.

miss two to three hours of sleep a day more than quadrupled their risk of getting in a crash. that's compared to drivers who sleep for seven hours. federal regulators say the accident risk from drowsy driving is comparable to driving drunk. errol barnett is on the road in washington to look at the dangers. errol, good morning. >> good morning. aaa is urging people to make sure drivers are as alert as possible. whether you're a passenger like me or in the driver's seat. and that's because a third of drivers report hitting the road when they have a hard time keeping their eyes open, which has proven to be deadly. >> reporter: these videos show how quickly a drowsy driver can lose control. >> i remember screaming at the top of my lungs and sort of collapsing, because i couldn't be true. >> reporter: her 18-year-old son tyler was killed after he

7:46 am
>> individuals and young adults are among the highest risk groups. >> reporter: jake nelson is aaa's director for traffic advocacy and research. >> one in five crashes where somebody dies in that crash involve a driver who was drowsy or hadn't had enough sleep the night before. >> reporter: aaa found sleep-deprived drivers are almost twice as likely to be involved in an accident when they get four to five hours sleep. 12 times more likely to crash with less than four hours of sleep. >> driving with having only earned four to five hours of sleep in a 24-hour period can be just as impairing as driving drunk. >> reporter: how aware are people of this? >> not aware at all. i think that's really the punch line. >> and beyond that recommended seven hours of sleep aaa says passengers can play a role in preventing drowsy driving.

"or something"? you don't just graduate from medical school, "or something." and we don't just pull smoked chicken, bake fresh foccacia and hand-slice avocado. there's nothing "or something" about it. are my teeth yellow? have you tried the tissue test? ugh yellow.

7:51 am
for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto.

8:42 am
of this writing my book every day. i have a habit of stealing talk show mugs. >> so we're inspiring. >> tell me where you found the idea? >> i had written this book about the team that thrived because baseball players were misjudged by their markets. there's a book about how people get misjudged by markets and how their value is hard to perceive. judgment was coming from people, trust me, gut instincts, ex-baseball experts. in the same old statistics. i never really got to the question why do people misjudge other people. and in a review of "money ball," two scholars, wrote mr. lewis doesn't seem to understand that these two psychologists who did a study into the way the humid mind functions making judgments. and they described all of the
8:43 am
reasons of the baseball players. >> what's great about this, it's a story of friendship. >> it's more than just friendship. it's love. >> they're heterosexual men. but you said they connected with each other more deeply than anyone else even their wives noticed. they finished each other's sentences. there was a deep love. >> danny said to me once, he was describing his feelings for amos, he said we're in love with women and all of that, but with amos, i was rapt. and he likes me more than i like him. >> yeah. >> i think the dynamics in the relationship were so interesting because they were with each other unlike who they were with anybody else. in a room together alone, they became different people. so the relationship -- and it brought things out of each other. and the work they did together was just so much better than anything they did separately.

so then, you saw this, almost like chemical merging of the minds. >> and it was so difficult, too, michael? >> everybody who knew themselves knew they got alone. >> i want you to finish that because i think that's pass naturesing. >> on the surface, felix and oscar syndrome, danny was a total slob and amos was neat. you walk into amos' office, there was nothing but a pencil on a desk. nothing on the walls. danny's office was such chaos, his secretary tie his scissors to his desk so he wouldn't lose them. but the biggest thing was amos was the most self-sure person i ever knew. it was a one-line intelligence test. it was the longer it takes you to figure out that amos is smarter than you the stupider you are. he spent his childhood being
8:45 am
chased by nazis across france. barely survived. it's like watching an animal trying to swallow itself whole starting with its tail. every time he has an idea he becomes unsure of an idea. >> for those not familiar with their work, we've heard the phrase trust your gut and heard how stereotypes lead us to make mistakes by trusting our gut or misperceptions. but a good example would be what? >> well, sports is a good example. the example i love is the basketball player who became a star, a star for the new york nets. but no one drafted him. none of the nba teams drafted him. >> and he was a big store in california. >> and no college teams wants him either coming out of high school. and the grasp on him, talking to general managers, he's not athletic. and then, of course, he gets the
8:46 am
chance he's incredible athletic. they start measuring athleticism by putting sensors on him and seeing how fast his two steps are, he's all of the charts. so why is it when people looking at him make a judgment. can't see the athleticism. and jeremy said this and also the general manager said this because he's asian. because they hadn't seen it before. one of the things they talk about the power -- the way the mind fixes stereotypes. it's actually wired to fix stereotypes. we're wired -- we have some model in our mind what a president looks like. what a basketball player looks like. or what our investment adviser looks like and we match. so that's one of the reasons that our thinking often doesn't look right. often, the person doesn't look right for the job. >> and somebody makes a just
8:47 am
about somebody's face and they're told, no, you'll never do this. >> that's right. actually one of my lessons i pulled out of my exposure to amos, when i'm looking for someone looking for a job. looking for a doctor, if someone doesn't look right as a doctor they're almost certainly a great doctor. if you don't look the part, it's so much harder. you all look like talk show hosts i'm sure you're good, too. but you could have got here just on your looks. and that's a problem. that's a problem. >> i like that you talk to the relationship -- because amos is no longer with us. he died back in 1996. >> '96. >> you said you were reluctant to approach danny to write this book that you were nervous. >> so, this is a psychologist who won a nobel prize in economics with like a flip of a wrist. just the way the work changed
8:48 am
economics. and everything that comes out 6 his mouth is really, really interesting. and i didn't think he would take an interest in me or it. so, it took a while. it took a long time. >> you kept going back and back and back? >> we'd go on long walks together. actually, the ideas were really interesting. but the relationship -- >> it was the crux of it? >> and the two best characters i've ever known in life. bar none. that was the other thing, you know, a lot of times i feel as a writer i've been the "b" student writing that other "b" student and i can get my mind around the subjects. here i'm a "b" student trying to get my arms around an "a" student. i felt like a gnat. >> what do you know about making better and good decisions? >> well, time will tell if i make decisions better. i had these two guys in my head when making decisions which is
8:49 am
the characters play themselves in this. but i think the big thing is, one of their big things is you try to make the world feel like something that it actually is. my mind is always doing that. we felt like we should have seen trump coming. a lot of things are dumb that we didn't know the stock market was going to go up. >> managed with probability. >> gayle knew. >> gayle knows everything. but in my face, preserving a sense of uncertainty while you're making decisions is really, really important, rather than -- needs total conviction. >> michael, it's great to have you here. >> yeah. >> "cbs this morning" will be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
