>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm jericka duncan in new york. thanks for staying with us. well, the summer travel season is right around the corner. if your vacation plans include airline flights, you might want to purchase travel insurance. that's right, travel insurance. the airline industry is coming off of two years of severe travel disruptions and record consumer complaints. most airlines say they are now fully staffed, but the faa is short on air traffic controllers and pilots are even threatening to strike at american,

southwest, and united airlines. kris van cleave has that story from los angeles international airport. >> i'll start with some good news. airfare tracking site hopper says domestic airfares for the summer are down more than 10% compared to last year. but flyer concern appears to be on the rise. more than 75% of flyers say they are worried about their flights being disrupted, delayed or canceled, and for good reason. 22% of flights so far this year, that's more than one in five, has been delayed, and the airports are only going to get more crowded from here. this morning the countdown to summer vacation comes with concern over travel turmoil. >> i'm on a wing and a prayer. >> reporter: shari eisenman is so concerned about her three-week trip to ireland in june she's not even checking a bag. >> i really believe it's just kind of 50-50. anyone traveling is taking a thathe t destation. >> reporter: last summer more

than 45,000 flights were canceled and nearly one in four was delayed. as airlines struggled through bad weather and staffing issues. this year they insist it will be different. >> bookings are strong, demand is strong. >> we're adding buffers into our own schedules to make certain we can deliver for consumers. >> all of our partners really want to make sure the summer goes smoothly. >> reporter: while the tsa expects potentially record-breaking numbers of passengers at u.s. airports this summer, picketing pilots seeking a new contract warn there could be turbulence ahead. >> the summer at american airlines is as uncertain as it was last year, and last year was not good. >> reporter: the faa announced it's opened new highways in the sky by streamlining 169 east coast routes, saving 6,000 minutes of travel time annually. but air traffic control staffing concerns prompted airlines to reduce summer flights out of new york city. >> i'm worried airlines have scheduled more flights than the faa can handle.

>> reporter: airline industry analyst henry hartevelt. >> i think this is going to be a summer of light to moderate turbulence. i'm concerned that if there's just even the slightest ripple of bad weather the faa will be asking airlines to delay flights or possibly even cancel flights because there are more flights than the system can safely handle. >> reporter: shari eisenman just hopes she makes her connection. >> they've already changed it twice, and it keeps getting closer and closer to my departure time to go to dublin. >> reporter: now, airlines have largely addressed their staffing issues from last year, but the biggest disruptor to summer travel traditionally is the weather. best bets are nonstop flights that leave on the early side of the morning and if there is bad weather in the forecast and the airline suggests you change your flight be proactive, do it early while there are options still available. well, there's a battle brewing over so-called forever chemicals.

they've been used for years in everything from cookware to food packaging. but new research links them to a host of health problems including some forms of cancer. the epa is considering new rules to curb these chemicals. two republican senators are now proposing a bill to protect companies from being sued for using them. roxana saberi has more. >> reporter: on a hilltop in maine songbird farm sits silently. a shell of what it was and could have been. >> welcome to the ghost town of our dreams. >> reporter: adam nordell and his wife johanna bought the 44 acres in 2014 to raise organic produce and a family. seven years later they learned their land was riddled with toxic chemicals called pfas. did you know what pfas were? >> no. no, no, no. i didn't know what pfas chemicals were. >> reporter: he soon found out. they're a family of thousands of compounds that last so long in

the environment they're known as forever chemicals. for decades they've been widely used to put the non-stick in cookware and to make stain and waterproof fabrics, firefighting foam, food packaging, even cosmetics. the toxins at songbird farm were traced to sludge. the solids left after waste water is treated. spread there as fertilizer in the 1990s. >> it contained a whole host of industrial chemicals that were washing out of consumer products in people's homes, or that were entering the waste water treatment district from industrial facilities. >> reporter: adam says tests found their water and some crops had dangerously high levels. so did his family's blood. he says it was 250 times higher than average. >> living with pfas exposure is terrifying. i feel like i have a poorly wired time bomb inside of me. >> reporter: that's because pfas have been linked to health problems like low birth weight, liver damageds i leading thende

in identifying farmland contaminated with pfas, a recent study estimates that sludge like what was applied here has also been spread on around 5% of all farmland in this country. while not all sludge contains toxins, cattle that ate feed grown in tainted soil have been destroyed in at least three states. the chemicals also leech into lakes, rivers and groundwater from factories and landfills. >> they've really contaminated fish everywhere. >> reporter: climatologist dan brown showed us a stretch of a river near detroit where the fish are too contaminated to eat. >> i just can't imagine there's any place that's going to be truly safe from pfas at this point. >> reporter: a recent analysis of freshwater fish samples collected by the epa found pfas are an issue in almost every state. they're so pervasive studies

have shown more than 95% of americans now have detectable levels in their blood and now for the first time the epa is proposing strict regulations limiting pfas in drinking water. more than 90% lower than previous recommended levels. >> i was very pleased to see -- >> reporter: elsie sunderland studies pfas pollution at her harvard university lab. how would you characterize the federal government's approach toward pfas? >> i would call it ambitious yet fragmented. if we're really concerned about pfas and our everyday exposure, we should be proactive and we should be banning these chemicals from non-essential uses. >> reporter: in an e-mail to cbs news the fda says it tests products in the u.s.'s general food supply, which is among the safest in the world. the agency says very few of those products have detectable levels of pfas and those that do are low. >> in this greenhouse we grow tomatoes in the summer and

spinach and head lettuce in the winter. >> reporter: back in maine adam has turned from working on his farm to pushing for new laws to help other farmers with dreams spoiled by forever chemicals. >> if i cou hp protect other people from what happened to me, that motivates me to get up and go to work every day. >> reporter: roxana saberi, unity, maine. suffering from sinus congestion, especially at night? try vicks sinex for instant relief that lasts up to 12 hours. vicks sinex targets congestion at the source, relieving nasal congestion, and sinus pressure by reducing swelling in the sinuses. try vicks sinex. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage so we don't have to worry about it" conversation. so you're calling about the $9.95 a month plan

king charles iii was an event fit for, well, a king. mark phillips has some final extravaganza. >> reporter: this was billed as a slimmed-down coronation for the more modern monarchy king charles had promised. now we know what that looks like. it means taking the newer, lighter family coach, the six-horsepower model from the palace to westminster abbey. instead of the heavy, unwieldy eight-horsepower gold state coach charles's mother the queen and every monarch for 2 1/2 centuries has used. ♪ it means holding a service where some of the participants were more reflective of today's british multicultural society. it means cutting the service down from the seemingly endless more than three hours of 70 years ago to about 2 1/2 hours this time. there was always controversy

over just how much new should be added and how much old should be retained in the ancient rite of crowning british monarchs that goes back almost 1,000 years. many think the spectacle is still a necessary part of the royal story. >> this is an historic, solemn religious and state event but it's also a tv show. >> it is. and the king, as you know, at the beginning put out this expression that he wanted it to be more modest. >> reporter: hugo vicars is a royal historian. >> and he is absolutely delighted that people including me have said, well, you may want it to be modest, we want it to be magnificent. >> reporter: there was plenty of magnificence. >> god save the king. >> reporter: enough flowing robes and gold and jewels to make you squint. swords and orbs and scepters representing ancient hereditary power and assumed heavenly approval. and if all that can seem very

unmodern, well, that's just the way it's always been. >> i mean, of course a coronation rather like a monarchy is completely irrational. >> reporter: robert hardman is a royal author. >> orbs, ointmentes, scepters, where is there is a place for that kind of thing in the modern era in. >> we are where we are. we've evolved in this way. as humans re like ritual. >> reporter: and public opinion polls consistently show a solid majority supports the monarchy. but in a less deferential age the monarchy isn't viewed with the same reverence anymore. >> all the same kind of nonsense of mystical oil being anointed out of sight of cameras, the hand of god descending on our king. >> reporter: paulie itoniby is newspaper columnist. >> i think all that folderol seems extremely old-fashioned and peculiar. >> reporter: like all royal stories involving this royal family there were unavoidable sun plots. when the crown was put on queen

camilla's head the woman who had been the third person in charles's marriage to princess diana was finally having her day and allowed herself a little smile. when the self-exiled prince harry arrived, alone, he was given a seat in the third row. and as soon as the service was over he hopped in a car, skipped the royal lunch, and jumped on a flight back to l.a. >> i william, prince of wales -- >> reporter: the future of the monarchy is now firmly in the hands of his brother. the golden state coach was put into service for the return trip to the palace. no coronation, ancient or modern, would be complete without images like this. but will this coronation be remembered the way the queen's was, as a turning point in history when the grim post-war years gave way to a new optimism? maybe. but that new queen was young. this king is old. >> historians talk about coronations reflecting the nation and the state of the
