good thursday morning, everyone. we begin with revealing new surveillance video obtained only by abc news. >> it appear to show that george zimmerman was not injured in the hours after trayvon martin's death. we begin with tahman bradley. >> reporter: this exclusive video obtained by abc news shows george zimmerman walking handcuffed into the sanford police department the night of the shooting. he says that martin punched him and slammed his head on the ground. his lawyer says his nose was broken. a closer look at the video shows him with no blood on his head, nose, or clothing. speaking for the first time, trayvon martin's girlfriend, who was on the phone with him until moments of being shot, told her zimmerman was following him.

>> he said this man was still behind him. and then i come and say, run. >> reporter: police never interviewed her. across the country, the outbraj over the shooting continues zplp it's really hard for me to believe in 2012 that a young black man, or really any young man can be shot just because somebody is afraid of him. >> reporter: martin's parents in washington receiving a special award addressed the national attention. >> we started off fighting for justice for trayvon. we realize now that it's a bigger picture now. >> reporter: the exclusive video shows an officer look at the back of zimmerman's head. there are no abrasions or plood that can be seen in the video. keep in mind that zimmerman didn't check himself into a hospital emergency room after talking to police. >> that raises so many

questions. george zimmerman's father is standing pi his son's version of what happened that night. >> robert zimmerman tells wofl that his son was brutally attacked that night. >> trayvon martin got on top of him and just started beating him in the face. in his nose. hitting his head on the concrete after nearly a minute of being beaten, george was trying to get his head off the concrete, trying to move. with trayvon on him. into the grass. um -- in doing so, his firearm was shown. trayvon martin said something to the effect of you're gonna die now or you're gonna die tonight. >> robert zimmerman never apologized to the martin family and said portraying his son as a

victim of hate. yesterday, a powerful show of support by trayvon martin on the floor of the house. the illinois democrat showed his hood did i. his mike was eventually cut because of the house rule against wearing a hat. with more on the jet blue story, he's jim avila. >> reporter: even before the chilling threat and berserk behavior captured on cell phone video, captain clayton osbon was acting strangely. according to a sworn document. first, he reported late to jfk, missing the pilot's briefing. once in the air, under the over controls to the first officer saying things just don't matter. at one point, yelling over the

radio to the air traffic control and instructing them to be quiet. then turning off the raid yost and dimming his monitors. the copilot telling the fbi that the captain was ranting about reledgedown and the need to take a leap of fifth. saying we're not going to vegas. at that point, he left the cabin. flight attendants became more worried when the captain tried to reenter the cockpit and he banged on the door hard enough that the first officer thought he was coming through the door. >> he almost got in there. that's when i seen the door buckle a litted bit. this is what really frightened passengers. that's the wildly fliling and shouting captain up there, by the exit doors. >> oh, my god! i'm so distraught! >> reporter: how bad was it? at wasn't point he yelled to the copilot, full throttle, boy.

that would have been disastrous. jim avila, abc news, new york. to politics now. mitt romney is picking up the backing of some key republicans. george h.w. bush will formally endorse him today. and earlier, marco rubio announced his support. joe biden says romney is consistently wrong. the vice president created a stir later when he mistakenly thanked doctor pepper instead of a college president named dr. paper. maybe he was thirsty. dr pepper is good. it will be a sunny day in vegas for the obamas. pouring rain from northern california up to seattle. hail and gusty winds around
