ebola cases here in the united states. >> and you have seen calls from senator john mccain calling for an ebola czar, and bans on travel from others. and the cdc says they have new measures. >> reporter: they're right. they say there was a breach in protocol. reviewinghe protocols and how they're enforced and sending additional personnel to dallas. it's a delicate balance. the white house wants to reassure the public that the chances are extremely low of an epidemic but they are taking action. >> you don't to want feed the anxiety, but not out of touch. thank you very much. and now to the scare in the skies. a passenger plane making an emergency landing after the w l walls inside the cabin started to buckle and crack. david kerley is at reagan national airport with the

and look at this. >> reporter: it was not pressurization, it was an air duct running along the wall that blew, pushing the panels in, but no one was sure of that up in the air. >> right now, everything is normal. if i see any problems, pressurization we'll divert. >> i was thankful when they turned around and made an emergency landing. >> reporter: it was a cosmetic issue. the structure of the jetliner was not compromised. but that doesn't mean there weren't scary moments for the passengers who today will get to dallas. >> that would be a little frightening. >> no chances. >> why not, just make sure. they did. turn to the economy now. good news at the gas pump. prices in something of a free fall. below $3 a gallon in many parts of the country. rebecca jarvis is here to tell us what's going on. >> reporter: it's good news for commuters and ties back to oil. we are producing the most oil we

you have three boys, a set of identical twins, which i love. and you write about this, you still have not told your twins who's the older twin. >> no, you're right. >> reporter: why? >> best decision i have ever done. i always read about twins, they're competitive. everyone compares them, who's taller, smarter, older. i took that off the table. have them support each other. they do. they're best friends, include their little brother. i don't know if it's because of that, but helped. >> reporter: when they turn 21? >> i might make it 30. i love spending time with my boys. go to movies, play tennis, hang out and read. so for me, unwinding is crucial. when i get home, i really turn off work. so i work hard. i drop my children off in the morning. from 8:30 to 6:30@intense. >> she's ceo, chairman and designer of her own company. and she's taken one boutique on elizabeth street in new york city and expand to 137 around

the world. dream big. >> yeah, dream big. i always have thought dream big. and whatever big means is different. and each individual. >> reporter: what does girl power mean to you? >> the ability to create change. and the confidence to do it. >> and so we asked you at home inspired by tory foundation to inspire young female ceos what business to start. we heard back, a trucking company. my husband is a commercial driver and we love time together. that's a great one. and a late night talk show with a woman as the host. our side of comedy and life. keep them come. and her new book, "in color", is availabl

and we're back now with the oscar buzz around "birdman." the movie stars michael keaton as a former movie star who was the super hero, birdman, trying to stage a comeback. but it's not going well. >> pretty much a train wreck. can't get through a performance without a raging fire. i'm broke. i'm not sleeping like, you know, at all. and this play kind of is starting to feel like a major

deformed version of myself that just keeps following me around. >> and michael keaton joins us. we had to bleep out just a little bit there. >> yeah. a lot more. >> this is a guy who's putting everything on the line. >> yeah. >> it's really starting to get to him. >> yeah. i would say that's a mild version of it. yeah. basically, this actor decides to mount a play based on the short story "what do we talk about when we talk about love." and has a breakdown. >> has a breakdown. coming back after being a big super hero star 20 years before. and the echoes with you are right up front. this guy plays birdman, and you played batman. >> yeah. >> you thought the director -- you asked him, are you making fun of me? >> yeah, i don't remember that part. alejandro's a good friend of mine. and i don't think he's a liar. he probably doesn't remember me

saying that. because we -- ironically spoke about that parallel very little. in -- >> so it didn't get in your way at all? >> no. because well it's like the elephant in the room. for me, just because probably i'm too lazy to do all that mental work, it was easier to just acknowledge it and then -- we had so much more work to do that it really never came up. it would have been a big, you know, kind of something that i would have had to focused on and there was so much other -- there were so many other things to focus on. approach it like i approach every role i have. >> it's such a funny pray alay you're great. everyone needs this show to work. >> most of them are not on the edge, right in the thick of desperation. when you fly into -- should i shut up? >> there's ed norton.

no, just talk over it. >> everyone is in this movie, in this play and in this satisfactory is right, everyone is wrong, everyone is healthy except for me, probably. everyone is unhealthy. and it addresses the human condition without -- and that's not an exaggeration or a high faluttin version. >> everybody's been there when they want something to work in the worst possible way. you know, in that shot, gave a little bit of a flavor of it as well. one of the most amazing things about this film, it looks like the entire movie was done in one shot. >> yeah. >> that must have been so hard to do. >> yeah. it basically was. the shots were long. and what happened -- you know, the question is why would you make a movie -- why would you even take this on? especially when you've posed that question to the director. that's a really good question to ask. because it's so extraordinarily difficult. but once you see it, it's really

the only way you could have made this movie. because it's as though when you -- at about a minute whatever, four, or seven, or whenever it hits you, you hear a door close behind you and now you're in and there's no turning back. you have seen it, you enter his mind and follow him through the story. that's probably the greatest piece of film making i've ever been involved with. >> and you did a great job. not going to jinx it. a lot of oscar buzz out there. thank you for coming. >> thank you. >> "birdman" opens nationwide on
