not told for days. plus, growing concern about video manipulation technology that can appear to make anyone say or do almost anything. the new effort to separate what's real from what's fake. but we begin this morning with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. >> it's a great tragedy that we had occur here on an otherwise quiet sunday evening. >> a helicopter plunges into new york city's east river. >> call 911. >> a private helicopter lost altitude, killing all five passengers. >> the pilot was the sole survivor. >> the white house unveiled several gun and school safety proposals. >> it appears to be backing off on president trump's call to raise the minimum age to buy assault weapons. >> the wheels of diplomacy are turning after u.s. president donald trump said he would meet with north korean leader kim jong-un. >> they just said no more missiles. they said they want to meet with president trump. >> dozens of people are confirmed dead after a plane crash in nepal.

>> this accident happened as it was landing. >> a never before seen interview with o.j. simpson spelling out how he would have killed his ex-wife and her friend ron goldman. >> i hate to say this but this is laughable, i'm sorry. >> the parliament officially ended presidential term limits allowing its leader to remain in power indefinitely. >> all that -- >> a miami street, a driver trying to flee the scene after crashing into several cars. but other drivers weren't having it. >> and all that matters. >> one of great traditions in american sports, the release of the ncaa tournament bracket. >> some teams couldn't hold back their excitement. >> on cbs this morning. >> in second place, but buys the crowd to its feet, draining a 44-footer for birdie. >> are you serious? there's a little tiger message. >> this crowd has been like a volcano waiting to erupt. >> this morning's eye opener is

presented by toyota, let's go places. tiger fans very encouraged by what they saw yesterday. golfer at the table. >> had a good performance. >> looked okay. welcome to cbs this morning. we begin with the terrible story today, the sudden and frightening helicopter crash right here in new york city, killing five people on board. dramatic video shows the chopper carrying six people plunging into the east river last night. the pilot did make a mayday call just before they hit the water. he was the only survivor. >> the crash happened just before nightfall and led to a desperate rescue effort in the river between manhattan and queens. kris van cleave is alongside the river side where a federal investigation is under way. >> reporter: the liberty tours helicopter had been chartered for a photography flight when its engine apparently failed. earlier this morning, you could

see emergency crews still around the helicopter where it was towed to a dock ahead of the ntsb's arrival. when investigators get started, they're going to look at the helicopter. they want to look at its maintenance, that engine for sure, any data recorder and they're most certainly going to want to talk to that pilot. cell phone video shows the moment the helicopter slammed into new york city's east river. moments earlier, the pilot made this urgent call for help. >> zero lima hotel, mayday. >> you okay? >> east river, engine failure. >> reporter: the chopper crashed in below 40 degree water near the mayor's mansion on the east side of manhattan just north of roosevelt island. the helicopter's rotors continued to spin. it can be seen listing to the side shortly before flipping over entirely. >> it looked almost like it was supposed to land for a second, like it was making an emergency water landing, but within, like, literally a minute, it was completely submerged. >> reporter: a private tug boat was the first to reach the

crash. a photo shared on social media shows the chopper's tail resting on its hull. it took rescue crews just five minutes to arrive at the scene. >> it appears the aircraft is inverted in the water. >> reporter: the pilot, oiched as richard vance, managed to free himself from the wreck and was pulled from the river by rescuers. he was later seen on shore walking to a waiting ambulance. >> it took a while for the divers to get these people out. they worked very quickly, as fast as they could. >> reporter: two passengers were pronounced dead at the scene. three others were rushed from the helicopter in critical condition and later died at the hospital. >> the five people besides the pilot were all tightly harnessed so these harnessed had to be cut and removed in order to get these folks off of this helicopter which was upside down at the time and completely submerged. >> reporter: liberty tours did not respond to our request for comment. this is not the first time a sightseeing helicopter has crashed here in new york. in fact, back in 2009, another

liberty helicopter collided with a small plane. nine people died in that accident. investigators determined the helicopter was flying too high in that incident. now, there have been some questions about the harnesses. often they go over both shoulders. they can have a couple of connection and release points so it can be a little complicated. particularly, remember, they were upside down in frigid water. it was dark. so at the very least, it's a disorienting situation. >> all right, kris, scary and tragic. kris van cleave, thanks, kris. nearly four weeks after the florida school masser k, the pannouncing which changes in gu policy it will support. the list does not include raising the age limit for some gun buyers to 21 but it does call for training and arming teachers. major garrett is at the white house. good morning, major. >> reporter: good morning. president trump's initial willingness to consider and advocate new gun control

measures has evaporated amid nra lobbying and resistance from the republican led congress. white house reposals will instead focus on mental health issues and arming some school personnel. in general, nra priorities both. >> the nra happens to be very good people, by the way. they want to do the right thing. >> reporter: at a rally in western pennsylvania, the president commended the nra before unveiling his new proposal. >> we have to harden our schools. >> reporter: the president's plan would provide for a, quote, rigorous firearms training for some teachers and urges congress to pass a bill to make the federal background check system more effective. but the president is backing off raising federal age limits on rifle purchases like the ar-15 that was used in the parkland shooting. >> take the guns first. go through due process second. >> reporter: however it appears the president is sticking by an idea he floated during a bipartisan meeting less than two weeks ago that would allow states to pass court orders to remove guns from people who are

threats. >> they go to court, obtain an order and then collect not only the firearms but any weapons in the -- >> or take the firearms first and then go to court. >> there are a lot of states that are addressing these issues in very cohesive and coherent ways. >> reporter: secretary of education betsy devos is heading up a new federal commission on school violence. she spoke with lesley stahl for "60 minutes." >> do you feel a sense of urgency? >> yes. >> because this sounds like talking. >> no -- >> -- instead of acting. >> there is a sense of urgency indeed. >> reporter: in washington, the best way to avoid action or dodge a hot political topic is to create a commission. in fact, over the weekend, the president criticized so-called blue ribbon committees saying they were all about talk. immediately after the parkland shooting, the president said when it came to gun safety and gun control, he would act because there had been too much talking. >> all right, great reporting there major, thank you so much.

the white house now says north korea must meet specific criteria before president trump meets with kim jong-un. u.s. officials want the north to stop all nuclear and ballistic missile tests. allow american military exercises with south korea to proceed and commit to denuclearization as a discussion topic. when he spoke on saturday, the president seemed ready to accept all possible outcomes. >> hey, who knows. if it happens, if it doesn't happen. i may leave fast or we may sit down and make the greatest deal for the world. >> north korea has said nothing about a meeting with president trump since south korea made the announcement on thursday. two fertility clinics face a barrage of complaints including at least one lawsuit over equipment failures that may have ruined thousands of frozen embryos and eggs. the clinics in san francisco and cleveland both say the storage tanks did not keep specimens at the required super cold temperatures for several hours. our dr. tara neural la is with

us. this is very devastating news. >> it definitely is. good morning to you. it's incredibly rare for these in nitrogen storage tanks to fail. so far, neither hospital has been able to determine whether it was mechanical or human error that put thousands of embryos at risk. >> i think that there's just a lot of anger and hurt in the infertility community right now about this. >> reporter: when we spoke to elliott and amber ash last week they were devastated that their frozen embreauxyos at ahuga med center might be destroyed. they allege the hospital failed to maintain, inspect, monitor and/or test. and called the hospital's response an utter breach of trust. the family also says the hospital did not notify them of the issue for nearly a week. >> to find out that your potential children don't exist

anymore through media is -- it's absurd. >> we are conducting a deep investigation -- >> reporter: university hospitals, which runs the fertility clinic, release add statement apologizing for the incident and promising to help patients in any way possible. this wasn't the only fertility clinic to experience problems. a nitrogen storage container at specific fertility center in california also malfunctioned on march 4th, putting thousands of frozen embryos and eggs in danger. >> this is incredibly rare. >> reporter: dr. peter klatsky runs a different clinic in california and says if the temperature rises above minus 130 degrees celsius, the cells are at risk. >> this is an advanced technology. whenever you employ a really advanced technology, there is always going to be risk. when you're dealing with a singular cell, there's no room for error. >> reporter: university hospitals told us any lawsuits being filed will have no bearing on the independent review being

conducted. in a statement this morning, pacific fertility center apologized for the anxiety the malfunction caused and says our patients and the safety of their eggs and embryos are our highest priority. >> many women go through the cancer treatment and right before chemotherapy they get all these eggs out so they can have a baby. >> or they done aiated or they' lost their ovaries. there's a lot of scenarios where this is end game for a lot of families. the mother of a missing 16-year-old pennsylvania girl is pleading for her safe return. police believe amy yu ran off one week ago with kevin esterly, the father of one of her friends. the 45-year-old is allegedly in a relationship with the high school student. meg oliver spoke with yu's family and is at the school bus stop in allentown, pennsylvania, where she was last seen. meg, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is the corner where amy

yu's family last saw her. she was dropped off here along with her brother and was never heard from again. yu's mother tells us her daughter was taken by a man who befriended the family at church. someone she had trusted. kevin esterly and amy yu had gotten so close she often went on his family vacations. on his facebook page esterly often posted pictures of yu hanging out with his own daughters. but police say their relationship was not as innocent as it appears. >> amy, can you come back, mommy missing you. >> reporter: yu's mother mui luu, who did not want to show her face on camera, says she feels betrayed. you had kevin over to your house. >> yes. >> reporter: for meals? >> yes, for meals. >> reporter: luu found out on february 9 that amy had listed esterly as her stepfather on school records.

esterly signed amy out of school ten times between november and february without her mother's permission. luu says she also found text messages that suggested esterly was romantically involved with her daughter who is 16, the age of consent in pennsylvania. you're upset? >> yes, i'm upset. >> reporter: john yu, amy's younger brother, last saw her at the bus stop. >> why? with a 45-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl? that's disgusting. >> reporter: esterly and yu vanished on march 5th. esterly's wife told investigators he withdrew about $4,000 from his wife's bank account that same day. police suspect the two of them are traveling together in esterly's red honda accord with pennsylvania plates. what do you want to tell amy? >> i want to tell her, amy, can you come back to me? i love you. i just hope you come back. >> reporter: prosecutors have charged esterly with

interference of custody of children. amy's charter school has also banned him from school grounds since last month. we tried to get an update on the police investigation. but nobody was able to speak to us on camera from the allentown police department. >> meg, thanks. there is no doubt they are going to find them soon. many of you in the west are about to get hit by yet another soaker and in the east, millions face the third nor'easter in two weeks. up to 10 inches of heavy wet snow fell in parts of kentucky overnight. chief weathercaster lonnie quinn of our new york station wcbs is here with what to expect on both coasts. >> we start with the east coast. our two elements are going to be merging somewhere off the mid-atlantic and then travel up to the northeast. this storm is going to cause its biggest problems tuesday morning. but big total, anywhere from the cape up to boston up into maine. we're talking portions could be seeing over a foot of snow. probably the best march skiing we've had in new england in a long time. west coast, you've got your own storm coming on shore.

long to issue that kind of warning. >> i think it's a little too late. i think there should have been more information quicker. >> reporter: and while investigators say they've identified the nerve agent used in the attack, they've not made that information public or named a possible suspect. in 2006, another russian intelligence officer, alexander litvinenko, was murdered in london after he was poisoned by radioactive polonium. intelligence believed that was a state ordered execution. at the time, his widow said she would do anything to help a similar incident from happening again. >> the lesson we learned after the murder of my husband was not learned. >> reporter: even before this morning's meeting in the national security counsel, the head here says this poisoning looks like state-sponsored

attempted murder. we're hearing o.j. simpson speak for the first time in detail about what may have happened about the night his former wife and her friend were murdered. ahead, why some are calling this ne good morning. a little fog along the coast with high clouds. the afternoon commute is about to be a what one. we will start to feel the breeze and see the raindrops right around 6:00 this afternoon. that low is off the coast and the rain will be on the way. expect a wet week. every day this week through saturday morning we will see a lot of rain. the peninsula could see about an inch of rain. there's also a winter storm warning for the sierra foothills because of low elevation snow levels. weather report sponsored by toyota. proud partner of team usa.

willingness to consider and even advocate new gun control measures has evaporated. >> so far neither hospital has been able to determine if it was mechanical or human error that put thousands of embryos at risk. >> this is the corner where amy's fam lay last saw her, dropped off with her brother and never heard from again. >> the storm is going to cause biggest problems tuesday morning. big totals from the cape to boston up into maine. >> when simpson began to describe the night of nicole simpson's death he repeatedly clarified this was a fictionalized account of what happened. ♪ let me wrap my weave up ♪ >> cardi b the hip-hop artist won the best new artist award last night and thanked her haters in the process. >> i want to thank my haters too because they be downloading my stuff so they can hear it and talk crap about it but it benefits me.

he'll ask congress to strengthen the background check system and pay for school violence prevention programs. the recommendations do not include raising the minimum age from 18 to 21. the president has raised that idea which the nra is against. remember in a meeting last month, he asked republican senator pat toomey if a new age limit was part of his gun control bill. >> it doesn't make sense that i have to wait until i'm 21 to get a handgun but can get things weapon at 18. i don't know. i was curious as to what you did in your bill. >> we didn't address it, mr. president. >> you know why because you're afraid of the nra. >> now the president is not addressing it. betsy devos will head a committee to examine the issue. a senior administration official said age limits are something for states to discuss. the cia director mike pompeo says the u.s. will not make concessions to north korea before the president talks with kim jong-un. administration officials say the north needs to meet certain conditions. they include freezing nuclear

and missile tests, allowing u.s./south korean joint military exercises to continue and ensure denuclearization is on the table. white house spokesman raj shah says no location has been determined for the talks but unlikely mr. trump will go to north korea. >> with us global affairs contributor ian bremer, president of the eurasia group. ian, good morning. >> good morning. >> there's so much to talk about because the president agreed so quickly to these sort of negotiations, but margaret brennan did a great job on "face the nation" getting some details from the cia director first. the cia director said the president of the united states is taking the lead on this. how unprecedented is that? >> there's never been a meeting of any leader around the world with kim jong-un and no american president has ever met with a north korean leader. so what's so appealing to this from trump's perspective he's first, right, and that's a really big deal. i think trump deserves credit for having pushed the chinese to toughen sanctions, for having

made it clear to the north koreans there might be preemptive military strikes. that has facilitated north korea saying hey, we're willing to actually seize on any testing of nukes or missiles until we meet and we're not going to interfere. >> why not set up a number of conditions like the return of the three americans in north korea before deciding to meet, not just freeze your tests, freeze your whole program. did he give stuff away? >> of course. of course he did. the point is that getting to this point he gets credit, the process once the north koreans said we're willing to do this stuff has been abysmal. the secretary of state had no idea literally had no idea that is -- that's thoroughly unprecedented. >> explain why this is important. in negotiations you need leverage. if the president offers himself already in the beginning of the in negotiation he's removing his ability to be leverage in the future. >> it's harder. he's made a big give to the north koreans by saying, i'm

going to legitimize you, i'm going to meet. he doesn't think he's given anything but he doesn't know anything about this policy. like we know, we've already seen it with tariffs, trump's ability to make big statements because he doesn't understand details of the policy and people have to walk it back that's dangerous. >> no other president has done this before, there must be a reason for that if you could talk about that. huge upside. what's the downside? >> the reason why obama, bush, clinton, haven't met with north korean leaders is because they understand that dealing with what is already a nuclear power, a rogue state, no information, incredibly intractable. if you offer a head of state meeting, you make your presidency about north korea, which is, you know, that and israel/palestine the hardest things to try to unwind. presidencies can go south on that sort of issue. and if you have a meeting with kim jong-un and it goes badly, or the meeting goes well, and

then they cheat, they don't actually go forward with what they've promised you -- >> and they're known for not keeping their word. >> a lot of egg on face. trump already said we can do this the easy or hard way, we're going to hit these guys if they continue with their program, harder to back away from that. >> if you're going to use military action or that's a part of your thinking don't you have to show you tried everything possible in a diplomatic front if one day it comes to military action. >> yes. >> that's what trump is doing? >> well no. trying everything possible does not mean start with the head of state, meaning trying everything possible would mean, getting your enjoys involved on both sides. the south koreans bringing this offer to trump, they were not suggesting hey, go and meet with him right away. they're actually concerned. the japanese our best allies who they thought that trump was doing a hardline which the japanese supported suddenly the japanese completely blindsided by trump accepting a meeting. you want to have your allies on board. that means the japanese and south koreans you also want your

allies inside the administration on board and trump, a good job getting to this point, and an abysmal job because he's going it alone. you need to have the people around you that can help get to a better place. i hope that changes in the next 72 hours. >> kim jong-un has never left north korea. where could this meeting take place? >> the easiest place for it to take place the peace house, dmz, right. and i suspect that's what's going to happen. i also suspect that puttp will offer his services to help align the two sides at some point. it will be considering to see. >> you're not thinking mar-a-lago. >> i think mar-a-lago is not on the agenda. >> thank you. always good to have you at the table. >> the education department is defending secretary betty devos after her appearance on "60 minutes." she maintained school choice policies have had positive impacts but was pressed by lesley stahl to explain why public schools in her home state of michigan have performed

poorly despite implementing policies she has championed. >> are the public schools in michigan gotten better? >> i don't know. overall i can't say overall that they have all gotten better. >> the whole state is not doing well. >> well, there are certainly lots of pockets where the students are doing well. >> your argument that if you take funds away, that the schools will get better is not working in michigan. where you had a huge impact and influence over the drebes of -- direction of the school system here. >> i hesitate to talk about all schools in general. schools are made up of individual students attending them. >> the public schools here are doing worse than they did. >> michigan schools need to do better. there is no doubt about it. >> have you seen the really bad schools? maybe try to figure out what they're doing. >> i have not. i have not intentionally visited schools that are under performing. >> maybe you should. >> maybe i should.
