this is the "cbs overnight news." hi, everyone, and welcome to the overnight news. outrage of a video of a passenger being dragged off a united airlines flight got the attention of congress. they were summoned before the house transportation committee. congress wanted answers for the rash of high-profile incidents. >> it's no longer pleasant to fly. there was a time when it was. it's no longer there. >> reporter: called before the house transportation committee, united airlines ceo oscar munoz and others were pummeled over their customer service. >> the problem with the flying experience is across the board we all know it's a terrible

experience. >> reporter: munoz apologized again for the violent removal of dr. david dao to make room for a flight crew three weeks ago. >> no customer, no individual should ever be treated the way mr. d apartmentao was, ever. >> reporter: munoz was joined by representatives from american, alaska and southwest airlines. they face criticism over these videos. members complained about shrinking seats, fees and overcrowded planes. >> when you take my reservation, i expect for you to honor that. >> reporter: joining a republican, woodall. the airlines have announced a number of promises including a promise not to bump seated

passengers. republican committee chair bill shuster. >> seize this opportunity, because if you don't, we're going to come. and you're not going to like it. >> they're warning travelers to expect more trouble in the skies, and it's got nothing to do with the airlines. there is a spike in clear air turbulence. >> reporter: for nervous flyers, nothing about this research is reassuring. clear air turbulence strikes without warning, and because of climate change could get worse. the sudden drop came without warning. anyone not strapped down was shot toward the ceiling then slammed against the aircraft floor. video of the aftermath shows the plane scattered with debris. severe sunshi severe turbulence can be terrifying for unsuspecting passengers as it was in this plane bound for gentleman carja year.

clear air turbulence happens without the presence of clouds. making it nearly impossible for pilots to detect until it's too late. dr. paul williams is an atmospheric scientist at the university of redding in england. >> we've calculated that the amount of severe turbulence, which is enough to hospitalize people could double or triple by the end of this century on trans-atlantic flight routes because of climate change. >> reporter: according to researchers, rising carbon dioxide levels could destabilize the fast-moving air currents of the trans-atlantic jet treatment, an area that currently sees up to 3,000 flights a day. think predict a 149% spike in air turbulence, along with longer travel times, more delays and higher ticket prices. >> they have no indication or very little indication that that turbulence is sitting ot there and the plane is about to hit it.

>> reporter: aerospace engineer pat anderson took us inside a flight simulator to give us the pilot's perspective. >> very manageable. the auto pilot can fly the plane at this point. >> reporter: moderate turbulence. how much difference from light turbulence >> things can slide off your table. a little more uncomfortable. >> reporter: severe turbulence. >> by definition, the pilot is challenged in trying to fly the airplane. >> reporter: with extreme turbulence, what's going on? >> when you get to the point of saying extreme, you're worried about being in a situation where you're in jeopardy. it's a test of his ability to adapt. >> it is. the pilot -- there goes the gopro. >> reporter: modern airliners are designed to withstand all

kinds of turbulence, but even airplanes have a breaking point. >> assuming this, again, the thesis is right, how nervous will air carriers be about the integrity of their planes? >> the integrity of the airplanes is something that will have be to checked as this happens. they don't have infinite lives. they have some limit. and if we see more turbulence, that's going to be drawn in closer. >> reporter: last year, the faa investigated 44 injuries connected to turbulence. that was up more than double from the year before. heads continue to roll at fox news over the widening sexual harassment scandal. jericka duncan reports. >> reporter: for years bill shine was the right hand man of roger ailes who was forced out in july amid sexual harassment allegations. now some have said that shine enabled that kind of misconduct

at fox. it's an accusation that shine had denied. he got his start here at fox as a producer for sean hannity. now that shine is out, hannity is in the spotlight. after bill shine stepped down, all eyes turned to sean hannity. >> i want to welcome all our friends from the all-left propaganda media. >> reporter: last week in response to reports shine was being pushed out, hannity tweeted, that's total end of the fnc as we know it. it denied reports that its biggest remaining star was heading out the door. >> all the lies you've heard about me are not true. >> reporter: variety's joe bell bruno says the proximity caused his downfall. >> what the allegations are in this case is that he helped roger ailes cover it up. he helped protect some of their top folks like bill o'reilly.

>> abhorrent racist behavior at fox news. >> reporter: an attorney who filed a discrimination suit said while long overdue, we are pleased that 21st century fongs has taken a step in the right direction. on monday, reporter diana fal zone hit fox with another lawsuit, alleging discrimination based on gender and disability. she wrote about her infertility. she claims that revelation detracted from her sex appeal and made her less desirable in the eyes of fox executives who ordered her off the air. two fox news veterans were tapped to replace sean, jay wallace and suzanne. >> can she really turn around the culture.

the greatest show on earth will soon be folding its tent for the final time. the ringling brothers and barnum and bailey circus has been entertaining kids for nearly 150 years. but the crowds have been shrinking for years. and the final performance will take place on may 21st outside new york city. >> ladies and gentlemen! children of all ages! welcome to the greatest show on earth! ♪ >> reporter: it is a pretty bold claim. the greatest show on earth. the ringling brothers and barnum and bailey had every reason to

brag. ♪ there was a time when there really was nothing else like it. ringling had a dizzying array of performers risking life and limb alongside a menagerie of exotic animals from far away lands. ♪ >> reporter: after 146 years, all the thrills are still there. but the wonder seems to have faded. >> ladies and gentlemen! >> reporter: ringling's ringmaster, jonathan lee iverson laments that today when kids go looking for the greatest show on earth, many go looking for it on their smartphones instead. >> more and more unfortunately, we're becoming a society that really doesn't embrace wonder anymore. >> are you ready my friends? >> wonder that we offer you can't find it on facebook.

you can't find it on youtube. you have to engage. you have to be there, you have to be present, and it takes relating to others, not like yourself. that's how this has been made. >> reporter: a fact of modern life that brought the mighty big top to its knees. >> without a doubt, it was the toughest business decision that we've made. and we made it together as a family. >> reporter: kenneth feld is ceo of feld entertainment. his dad irvin feld bought the circus for $8 million back in 1967. they were caretakers of a slice of mer kauna and a home for a unique home for a community that wanted to dazzle outweighed just about everything else. >> the love is for the institution, but the greater love is for the people that make up that institution. and that's the difficult part. >> reporter: feld grew up with sawdust in his veins, and so did

his three daughters. they even performed with the ringling clowns on occasion. >> did you ever get that itch to perform yourself? >> i went to circus camp for a little while. i was in a roller skating act where i lit a match on the floor with my teeth. >> reporter: can you still do that? >> i don't know that i would want to try at this point. >> reporter: over the years, the feld sisters tried to help their father infuse the circus with 21st century sensibilities while still keeping the show's 19th century traditions in tact. but it was a balancing act that in the end just didn't balance their bottom line. >> the economic model didn't work anymore. and we don't want to compromise what is the greatest show on earth. you know, it's still really hard. and it's emotional for sure. >> reporter: baraboo, wisconsin

is where it started. their name is still here everywhere. as is the country's largest circus museum, circus world. it was five ringling brothers, who pitched their first tent in 1884 and began carting their variety act and wagons all around the midwest. eventually, they were big enough to buy their biggest competitor, the barnum & bailey circus. and the combined shows brought amusement right to main street usa. it was a heralded event. at each stop, both man and beast would be unloaded. and within hours, a vacant lot was turned into a canvas city. how many people would the big top seat? >> 12,000. >> reporter:12,000. really? howard dibbles what so blown away he spent much of his 81 years recreating that

spectacular in miniature. how long did the big top take you to make? >> it took 18 years. >> reporter: you wanted to preserve -- >> what i've seen as a kid. >> reporter: his replica now on display in sarasota, covers half the length of a football field. he built more than 150 circus wagons, 59 train cars, ticket booths, concession stands, all by hand and all in exacting detail. do you have any idea how much you've spent? >> no, and nobody needs to know. >> reporter: his model captures the magic that the traveling circus held. a spell cast on anyone looking for adventure, even after ringling ditched the big top in favor of the air conditioned comfort of arena. you hear people talk all the time about running away and joining the circus, and you did.

>> we did. we get to tell people that. and people go, yeah, yeah, oh, you did? you really did run away and join the circus? >> reporter: karen and greg became part of a traveling troupe of clowns for ringling. they actually met at clown college. in fact, greg was a teacher there. he now runs the international clown hall of fame in baraboo. >> reporter: is it as romantic a life as it sounds. >> definitely, well, i think it's morrow me romantic now. >> in hindsight. >> it is. it's like a lifestyle. >> reporter: a lifestyle that took them through america's back yards in their teeny home on the rails. >> like you wouldn't fit in it. >> no, it was six feet long, three feet wide and mean feet tall. so it was a closet with a door. >> reporter: size didn't matter, though. melting pots with the circus, language and customs all blended with the symphony of animals that traveled right along with

them. >> elephants were in the room right next to my first train car. the elephant car was the next one over. so i'd lay out. their trunks would come out, they'd sway. i'd feed them. try to reach over and give them treats and they'd reach over too. a baby tiger used to live on our car. and it would run up and down the hallway. baby bengal tiger. >> reporter: the animals, especially those elephants had always been ringling's biggest draw. they were also its achilles heel. animal rights advocates had long protested forcing wild animals to perform for entertainment. weld spent years fighting accusations of abuse and won settlements. nevertheless. they packed in their famous pachyderms last year, and that was the beginning of the end. >> when we made the decision to take the elephants off the road in may of 2016, we saw a drop in

ticket sales and attendance way beyond what we anticipated. >> reporter: how much? >> it was substantial. >> reporter: without the circus, feld entertainment still has plenty of entertaining to do. it brings us disney on ice and monster truck jam too, just to name a few. >> the circus lives in a lot of places besides the circus. like in the mud. exactly. >> reporter: there are, of course, other circuses. lots of them, in fact. but there will never be another ringling. >> did you know, i was thinking the other day, man, you're going to be the last voice any of these circus fans will ever hear. wow. you know. i mean, i'm holding on to that. i sort of believe like dr. seuss, you know, don't cry because it's over, smile because it

white chapel bell foundry where it could be the 21st century or the 19th. >> this hammer i'm using is about 100 years old. >> reporter: that tool is 100 years old? >> yes. >> reporter: or even earlier. so is the whole bell an f-sharp bell? >> yes. >> reporter: alan hughes' family has owned the found dri since 1904. >> i've been surrounded by bells, and i don't get too excited about it. >> reporter: but that's just his family. how far back does the white chapel bell foundry go? >> we have always claimed 1570. research indicates we were more likely established somewhere around 1420. >> reporter: which would mean the foundry was in business more than a century before shakespeare was born. at half a millennium, this is

the oldest tenuous continuously operating business in the uk. but after centuries and centuries, the company that produced the bells for westminster abbey as well as big ben. >> big ben isn't the clock. >> reporter: it's the bell. >> reporter: the white chapel bell foundry has cast its last. >> we don't need bells. they were needed in the sense that they were the way of communicating basic information to what was then a largely illiterate population. they warned you of invading armies. they actually served a practical purpose. so bells are used today because we like them, not because we need them. >> reporter: even if demand was higher, the foundry is located smack in the middle of one of london's hottest neighborhoods. that's another rule of modern life. prime real estate tops history. and it won't be just the brits losing a connection with their

history. we will too. >> the first liberty bell was cast there. exactly where we are sitting. >> reporter: not exactly the liberty bell they line up to sigh in philadelphia, but the grandfather to it, the first one cast and later melted down to pour the second and third. >> so the metal that is in the present bell is largely the metal that was poured here, beneath our feet in a pit. >> reporter: but, if you think the end of a 500 year old era is making alan hughes emotional, well, that wouldn't be very british now, would it? >> i suspect that when this workshop is empty, on that occasion, i am entitled to feel something. >> reporter: even a stiff upper lip would waver a touch. >> i anticipate that will be the case. >> reporter: what are you going to do in your retirement? >> the first week of my

retirement, i will sleep,,,,,,,,

hydrogen. nasa announced the findings during an online news conference. >> that is coming from a hydrothermal development on the sea floor of insolitus. >> reporter: here on earth, hydrogen from vents on the ocean floor serve as life source for creatures on the ocean floor. >> perhaps that's what's going on on insolitus. >> it has almost all the ingredient you would need to support life as we know it. >> reporter: scientists also believe jupiter's moon europa has a sea of water beneath its frozen crust. the hubble telescope has again spotted towering plumes of water erupting from cracks in europa's crust. >> we're looking in a way that we never thought possible before

for environments in our solar system which may harbor life. >> reporter: to do that, they need new tools. nasa will retire the cassini spacecraft this year, nearly 20 years after it launched. >> four years for this moment! >> reporter: nasa engineers have already prototyped new technology to discover more about these oceans, including a rover that could drill through ice and send samples back to the surface. >> we might find if we go out there to be anything from microbes which is much more likely than anything else to something much more fully developed. >> reporter: now thursday's discovery is just a first step. nasa is set to launch the euro pa clipper which will go to jupiter in the early 2020s and it will map its moon and possibly go through those plumes to tell us more about potential life on europa. that's overnight news for this wednesday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, you can check back a
