good morning, america. new this morning, stuck on a plane. the nine-hour nightmare. passengers fed up even serving themselves drinks. >> tensions were high. >> what the airline is saying this morning. slipping and sliding. snow and ice making dangerous driving across much of the south. hundreds of wrecks and sanding trucks desperately trying to keep up and now the storm is on the march toward the snow weary northeast. dude where's my nascar. the fancy set of wheels stolen hours before a big race go not like anything you'll see on the street. definitely one of a kind. >> the surveillance camera that caught the crime. did the crooks even know what they had? and the hollywood happy ending. lupita nyong'o's stunning oscar

dress stolen and now mysteriously returned. why the thief apparently brought it back and what we could be learning about the value of that dress. hey, good morning, everybody. march is coming in a little bit like a lion. take a look at the map. a storm creeping up on the west coast and in the east another storm brewing down south. yet another weekend storm. this one will soon stretch all the way up into the beleaguered northeast. >> and the nasty weather added to a nightmare for passengers on an american airlines flight out of dallas overnight. they were stuck collectively at the gate and on the tarmac for roughly nine hours capturing the mood on that plane with their cell phones. >> dipping into the drinks cart. >> exactly. >> as they should be. our reena ninan is following the story for us. good morning, reena. >> hey, paula, dan, good

morning. by the time you make it here to the check-in counter, the toughest part might be perhaps be the security line. just behind me. but for some american airlines passengers, they experienced a series of travel delays turning into travel nightmares they won't soon forget. a nightmare for passengers on american airlines flight 382. what was supposed to be a short nearly one-hour flight from dallas to oklahoma city turned into an eternity. delay after delay keeping travelers tuck on the plane, nine long hours. after the flight was scheduled take off. >> ten hours later it feels gait to be home. it's an incredibly stressful day. don't ever want to do that again. >> reporter: catching the mood with their cell phones. >> it was just up and down. like we were happy one second because we thought we were leaving then the next second we were just deflated because we were turning back to the gate. >> reporter: american airlines tells abc news we apologize for

the frustrating experience. yesterday was a challenging day at dfw due to extreme weather impacting north texas. the safety of our passengers and employees is always our top priority. delays began because of winter weather and plane de-icing but passengers were never held on the actual tarmac for longer than the three-hour limit set by the passengers' bill of rights. >> it was an unfortunate event. we're all here nothing we can do about it. >> reporter: but then a different law caused yet another delay. the flight crew had to be relieved after working more than the legal eight hours. at times the scene on the plane becoming chaotic. passengers taking it upon themselves to raid the liquor fridge. >> it was kind of a mix of comedy and anger as tensions were high. >> reporter: the good news, though, in 2009 there were 868 domestic flight delay, people stuck on tarmac morse man three hours but since passenger protections put in place that

dropped to just 30 last year. >> positive news. i like what that guy said about the mixture of comedy and anger. probably unwise to add booze into that mix but, reena, thank you. for more let's bring in steve ganyard. steve, technically and reena mentioned this, the airline didn't violate the passengers' bill of rights because the plane wasn't on the actual tarmac for more than three hours but you say that is really not good enough. >> dan, i think they're being a little too clever by half here saying we trapped you on this airplane for nine hours but at least we didn't keep you out on the tarmac for three of those nine. so there are questions for american. why would you board an airplane and keep them on for four or five hours or send an airplane to get de-iced and sit there for 90 minutes. why does it take 90 minutes to do that so i think american is really trying to defend the indefensible. >> despite the infuriating nature of this to the passengers you do want to make a point de-icing is of paramount

importance, why? >> well sometimes people don't understand why the de-icing process is is so important. any time you get ice or frost on a wing you've changed that wing in a way that could make it so it couldn't be able to fly. some of the worst aviation mishaps ever in history have been due to icing, so it's very very important for the airplanes to be properly de-iced but in this case the weather had been bad for days in dallas. american, this was not a surprise 0 american they should have been better prepared and should have executed better. >> and they are apologizing this morning. stand ganyard, thank you for your expertise and paula, over to you. >> thank you, dan. now for many what feels like the never-ending winter weather. a storm developing one that will bring snow sleet and freezing rain all that familiar from the rockies all the way to new england and rob is tracking it all. hi, rob. >> i can tell you my friends in dallas even are tired of this winter and they've had a nasty stretch for the past week. all right, let's talk about where the storm is and how far it'll stretch.

boy, the accidents yesterday, over 400 cancellations in flights a lot in the dallas forth worth area. i-35 coming to a crawl because of 1 to 2 inches of snow but in dallas that's enough. all right, this next storm will clip north texas, we've got winter weather advisories and winter storm warning posted for st. louis and a winter storm watch for parts of western new england, freezing rain in oklahoma and this blossoms as it get as cross the ohio river, st. louis towards cleveland through pittsburgh and then the rain/snow line dancing over the new york city area and see greater amounts across further to the north. could see a foot in st. louis and western mass too. that's a quick check on what's going on. talk more about the bitter coal and california storm as well later in the broadcast. >> but, rob, this is the first day of meteorological spring is that right? >> you're getting ahead of yourself. it's tomorrow but i like the optimism. >> never correct me on the weather, rob. i know you're a meteorologist and everything. all right. excellent.

thank you. so we'll talk more about that coming up, thank you. we move on to what appears to be a vicious political assassination making headlines across the planet this morning. a popular and outspoken of russian president vladimir putin shot in the back right out in the open just blocks from the kremlin and abc's chief foreign correspondent terry moran is on the story. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. moscow is in shock today and a sharp chill of fear has ripped across russia. one of vladimir putin's piercest critics gunned down in broad daylight. four bullets in the back in the very shadow of the kremlin. this morning in moscow flowers on a bridge usually filled with pedestrians marked the spot of the killing. the scene last night was eerie, boris nemtsov, a russian veteran politician longtime putin foe lay on the ground four bull les in his back one day before he was going to lead a march of

peace against putin's war in ukraine. a spokesman for the russian interior says he was walking with a female afaint stance when assassins leapt from a white car and opened fire. take a look at this surveillance video. that's the getaway car reportedly heading toward the crime scene, a black sedan close behind. vladimir putin says he is personally taking charge of the investigation into nemtsov's killing. dmitry pesko says putin believes the cruel murder has every sign of a contract killing." he was a former deputy minister once described a possible president himself and nemtsov became a harsh krit sick organizing protests and exposing massive high level corruption especially during the winter olympics in sochi describing putin to abc's brian ross. >> do you worry what will happen to you.

>> everybody must be very careful. i think that we must replace him because he did everything against interests on my country. >> reporter: alarming time reminiscent of the cold war as a recent gallup poll reveries that americans now view russia and putin as america's greatest enemy. nemtsov's friends and supporters gathering in moscow at the scene there. they say sunday's peace march will go on and they also say nemtsov was working on another major expose when he was killed. he had evidence he claimed, of the use of russian troops in the war in ukraine. paula. >> a lot more questions than answers this morning terry moran from london, thank you. a surprising new look at the isis executioner known as jihadi john. here he is unmasked wearing a pittsburgh pirates cap while attending a british university. the team saying they're sickened by that image of the world's most wanted killer and chief voguive correspondent brian ross has the very latest from london

on the worldwide manhunt to find him. brian. >> reporter: well, good morning, paula. the man and the family have now fled their home. the family in hiding as the world asks how could their college educated son, mohammed emwazi turn into a brutal killer for isis? this is what he looks like without his mask and his knife. a london pledge photo on the front pages of british newspapers this morning showing a young man with a sneer and unaccountly a pittsburgh pirates baseball cap. how emwazi went from this to this is the puzzle authorities and friends are trying to answer this morning. >> we'll begin to slaughter your people on your streets. >> reporter: one friend told the bbc emwazi was happy with his life after he graduated from university. >> we never realized that he will go to the jihadi. >> reporter: but one of his elementary schools said he was put in anger management therapy at the age of 11 because he was

getting into too many fights. >> we'd find that he'd get very angry and worked up and it would take him a long time to calm himself down. >> reporter: emwazi came of age in london at a time when radical islamists were urging young men to join the jihad against the u.s. and britain. most prominent emgem choudhury. he said he did not know emwazi but called him a muslim brother whose brutal acts he refused to condemn. >> reporter: as of now you don't want to condemn. >> i want to condemn you guys for being the tongue of the biggest terrorists in the world of the americans and our allies the british. >> reporter: the other question being asked here this morning is how emwazi was able to slip out of the country and join isis even though he was under surveillance by british security services. this morning, the british prime minister is saying essentially there are just too many young men being watched to keep a tight look on all of them.

paula. >> that number in the thousand brian ross, thank you. tomorrow you don't want to miss our martha raddatz's live interview with john kerry. again, tomorrow on abc's "this week." >> so striking to see that cleric refusing to condemn the actions of jihadi john. >> startling, shocking. we all gasped. >> he's made many controversial comments in the past. a lot of other news overnight. we check the morning headlines with dr. ron claiborne. good morning, sir. >> good morning to you, dan and paula, sara robert. good morning, everyone. we begin with a soaring price of gas. prices below $2 now in the rear view mirror. this morning the national average is $2.38, 10 krepss higher than just a week ago and now no state in the country has pump prices below $2 a gallon. in los angeles they're up nearly 0 cents and went up in one day and gas buddy expects this emto keep climbing. they're still more than a dollar less than they were this time last year. president obama signed a late night last-minute stopgap

bill passed by congress to extend funding to the department of homeland security for a week. the measure prevented the department's money from being cut off at midnight. a three-week extension failed to pass the house because republicans, some republicans want to repeal the president's executive action on immigration attached to homeland security spending. democrats want to pass a stand-alone full year funding bill. and it looks like this year's flu vaccine is even less effective than previously reported. just 18%, in fact against the dom napts strain of this year's flu, a drop of 23% protection level estimated for the flu shot earlier this season and for children it was worse. the cdc says the nasal spray version may not offer any protection for young people at all. take a look at this video from wisconsin. coming up an suv you'll see is traveling on interstate highway when the driver loses control, runs off the road there, rolls over five times breaking into

pieces a thuj chunk. three passengers including a 5-year-old boy were ejected from that vehicle but no one was killed. investigators say the passengers were not wearing their seat belts. they are surprised anyone survived. >> a miracle. >> it is. caught on camera. a ohio state trooper leaping over the guardrail before a semi truck slams into his cruiser. the officer was not hurt. the trooper was trying to help a stranded motorist who ran into car trouble. no word on whether police caught up with that speeding rig. and finally, a regal musical sendoff to outgoing attorney general eric holder. the justice department aretha franklin, the legendary queen of soul singing his praises quite literally. ♪ a hero yes he is ♪ ♪ he's a champion he's a warrior yes he is ♪ >> holder was brought to tears

apparently brought to tears during and after the performance. there he is or something. got something in his eye. he's set to leave office next month -- we don't know dan. >> allegedly. >> scissor loretta lynch. >> president obama teared up during the ceremony as well emotional all around. i think they're very close friends. now to the historic royal visit to the far east. prince william touring the tsunami zone in japan and off to china tomorrow and that is where we find abc's bob woodruff in beijing with the latest on this story. >> reporter: it's a day that began with fun for william, the duke of cambridge, first at this anchor cheer in tokyo. then at the studio where japan's most loved drama is produced. he got the chance to mix with the actors and play the role of the warlord with a helmet and a samurai sword. much is to promote british innovation in japan so like

launching a ship with a bottle of champagne he smashed the barrel filled with saiki, japan's famous booze. with him is the ceo of aston martin so william gunned the engine, one of his most favorite cars and you may remember he and kate borrowed his father's aston martin to drive away from the wedding. the more emotional visit with shinzo abe where they are helping children to smile again since the deadly tsunami ripped through their towns and villages four years ago a reminder it was 20 years ago prince william's mother diana came to comfort the victims of the earthquake. >> i think it would have been imporim impossible to not mention that. it was such a natural disaster. >> reporter: while william in asia pnce harry is retiring later this year from the military off two tours in afghanistan. harry's next chapter, his

principal focus helping the wounded warrior leaving time for the people's prosecutor ins to devote time to his other passion, africa. as for william he'll be leaving japan tomorrow and heading here to beijing and then shanghai and finally the southern province of yunnan where he will be talking about illegal trade of elephant ivory tusks. now, interestingly a couple of days ago the chinese government actually banned that kind of trade here for a year apparently he has some influence. paula. >> yes, he does. an important trip for the prince. thanks bob. this morning we are remembering a beloved actor enduring fixture in pop culture. leonard nimoy who starred as spock on "star trek" has passed away. chris connelly with a look back at his remarkable career and the tributes that are pouring in. >> reporter: words from william shatner "i loved him like a brother. we will all miss his humor, his talent and his capacity to

love." the tweets and tributes coming from all around the world, multiple generations of colleagues, ardent fans and those he inspired on screen and in space. all honoring leonard nimoy. >> i see no reason for answers to be couched in riddles. >> reporter: "star trek's" pointy-eared vulcan mr. spock. second in command on the starship enterprise. nimoy starred as spock through three prime time seasons back in the 1960s. in a decade of emotion and upheaval a compelling figure of pure reason. >> most illogical reaction. >> reporter: he returned to the character in a series of "star trek" feature films, 1982's "the wrath of khan" would feature a tearful tribute from captain kirk. >> of all souls i have encountered in my travel his was the most human. >> reporter: he directed the hugely successful comedy "three men and a baby ♪ he wrote books of poetry took photograph even sang fearlessly.

♪ >> reporter: 2007 he met president obama, a spock fan who recalled on friday greeting nimoy with the vulcan salute and spock's words "live long and prosper," the same famous words that concluded nimoy's final tweet. leonard nimoy died in los angeles on friday at the age of 83. for "good morning america," chris connelly, abc news. los angeles. >> so one of the many amazing things about him is he was so multitall lensed. "three men and a baby." who knew he directed that. >> and great singing too. >> no. >> well, you're being -- >> reasonably he sang we can say that. >> such a cult following and only on for three seasons. >> that's also remarkable. >> salute. >> as we said earlier, today is the first day of meteorological spring and so for more on that -- >> he thought it was march 1st. >> so excited about the weather.

you are asking so many question that's the one you should have double-checked. by the way i'm the only loser on the desk i can't do -- never could. >> no, no i can't do it. >> i can't do it with my right hand. >> you guys practice and i'll do in. let's go to glendora california, prepping for some rain there. they need it but in the burn areas like the colby fire area they got the k-rails up for potential of mudslides. this thing has cut off from the main flow and we're going to see, yes, beneficial rain not a whole lot of mountain snow. so that's why we're worried about mudslides and not increasing the snowpack that we need is what we need. this isn't the preferred flow direction to get that to pile up on the sierra. a historically low snowpack so need to change the weather pattern up. we'll take whatever we get. inch or two from san diego back to phoenix. maybe a less than an inch in los angeles. thunderstorms will pop and some of those could be strong to severe tomorrow. the windchills 14 in new york

city. minus 7 in chicago. hard to believe that tomorrow is the first day of march. we'll start to see things warm up once we get towards june and july. >> good morning, washington. a chilly start this morning. a cold start to the dayut it will look good with paly cloudy skies. overnight the clouds will start to increase ahead of our next system with our low temperature around 22 degrees. an icy mix possible by midday morrow but it should change over to some rain in the eveni hours as our temratures warm up through the overnight. th will end byby monday. a wintry mixx >> i have 30 seconds to practice and i still can't -- >> first day of meteorological spring is tomorrow. >> it starts early for me marciano. thank you, sir. >> it all right started in australia. >> it already started in australia. coming up on "gma" the new
