a man falls between train cars seconds before it leaves the station. one witness tries to stop the train as it pulls away. how did he walk away from this? we do say good morning, america. how about that video? hard to believe, so thankful he was able to walk away from this. one witness saying he seemed shaken up but otherwise okay. >> what a lucky man. we have a lot to get to including a verdict in that "blurred lines" trial. robin thicke and pharrell ordered to pay marvin gaye's family more than $7 million. a landmark case and experts are saying it could change the way music is made. first to the breaking news. terrible accident a helicopter with 511 troops on board going down during a routine training at eglin air force base in florida. we're just learning new details this morning and abc's martha raddatz is in washington with

the latest. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is a terrible reminder that even in training what the military does is dangerous and can be every bit as deadly as combat. it was a special operations training mission. a night training mission which makes it all the more challenging. two black hawk helicopter its army pilots presumably using night vision goggles during the exercise at eglin air force base in the florida panhandle. at about 8:30 p.m. one of the black hawks with seven special operations marines on board and four-member crew disappeared. >> there was fog. i do not know at this time if it was a contributing factor but when our search and rescue personnel arrived on scene there was very limited visible. >> reporter: the debris was finally located about 2 a.m. they're the from camp lejeune. the army piles and crew national guard from hammond, louisiana.

the second helicopter made it back to base. this is the second training accident involving a helicopter in the last several months. two marines died at the end of january. but it has been more than 12 weeks since any u.s. military personnel died in combat. robin. >> are there they concerns martha about this type of aircraft? >> reporter: well it's the black hawk and it's the workhorse helicopter of the army so no real safety concerns about that particular helicopter. just a reminder again, of how dangerous these real-life exercises can be robin. >> yes, it is a reminder. thank you, martha. we turn to hillary clinton and that press conference where she tried to quiet the controversy over her terminal e-mail account as secretary of state. clinton said in hindsight it was a mistake to set up that account but insisted she followed all the rules and revealed for the first time she deleted more than 30,000 e-mails calling them personal. jon karl there and joins us.

>> reporter: this was hillary clinton's first press conference in more than two years but she may have raised more questions than she answered. a late night comedian show nod mercy following hillary clinton's press conference. >> sheot want to have two phones. she couldn't be like hey, man, could you hold this other phone for me? >> reporter: she finally explained why she used private e-mail for official business as secretary of state. >> looking back it would have been better for me to use two separate phones and two e-mail accounts. i thought using one device would bepler and obviously it hasn't worked 0 out that way. >> reporter: republicans were quick to pounce on that explanation circulating this video of clinton from last month indicating she no longer minds having two devices. >> iphone or android? [ laughter ] >> iphone. okay in full disclosure -- >> blackberry. >> and a blackberry.

>> reporter: understate department rules enforced while she was secretary employees must turn over any e-mails from private accounts that relate to official business. but clinton didn't do that until 22 months after she left office. why did you not go along with state department rules until nearly two years after you left office? >> the laws and regulations in effect when i was secretary of state allowed me to use e-mail for work. >> reporter: why did you wait to turn those e-mails over? the rules say you have to turn them over? >> i don't think -- i'd be happy to have somebody talk to you about the rules. i fully complied with every rule i was governed by. >> reporter: now, hillary clinton said that after she went and organize e-mails determining which ones were official business to be sent over to the state department and which were personal, she deleted about 30,000 e-mails she determined to be purely personal. as you can imagine, george republicans are saying that raises serious questions. they want her to turn over her e-mail server to be examined.

she says she will not do that. >> she's not going to do that and hear the congressman in charge of this benghazi committee says he wants mrs. clinton to come up not once but twice now to the committeement one to simply answer questions about the e-mails. >> reporter: mrs. clinton has signaled she is willing to voluntarily appear before that committee but as you can ima highly unlikely she would agree to come back to that committee twice because it's almost certain both of those appearances would have to be after she is a declared candidate for president. >> thanks very much. now to the latest fallout from that racist video at the university of oklahoma. the school expelled two fraternity members after caught on video landing the chant and we're learning more about two of the stufrptss involved. abc's ryan owens has that story. >> reporter: students here have a new chant they'd like to be

forever. overnight national's sae national office responding distancing itself from the ou chapter saying they do not teach that racist chant adding our investigation has found very likely that the men learned the song from fellow chapter members, which reiterates why sigma alpha epsilon did not hesitate to close the chapter completely. and this morning another sign the scandal continues to widen. the president of the university of texas at austin saying he is looking into reports the sae chapter there used exactly the same chant. george. >> this is not over yet, okay ryan thanks very much. the latest on the boston marathon bombing trial where jurors were shown the chilling blood-stained letters dzhokhar tsarnaev wrote inside the small boat where he was captured. abc's tom llamas was inside the courtroom and joins us from boston. good morning tom. >> reporter: george good morning to you. that boat a critical piece of evidence for both sides. the defense trying to build sympathy for dzhokhar tsarnaev wants jurors to see how he was
