7:00 am
good morning, america. super soaker. what is left of hurricane patricia still spreading misery from the south to the northeast. this bus stranded on the way to school. 20 students rescued. roads underwater and the storm now taking aim at new york and new england. new polls this morning show donald trump falling behind as ben carson surges to a double-digit lead in iowa. one day before their big face-to-face showdown while jeb bush huddles with his family. is the debate his best chance to revive his campaign? caught on camera. a police officer slams a student and her desk to the ground dragging her to the front of the class and arresting her. >> put your hands behind your back. >> a community outraged. the officer banned from school property. what the sheriff is saying this morning. and hero helicopter crew. a news team becoming part of the story racing to save victims trapped after a plane crash in the everglades.
7:01 am
they capture dramatic images right after impact. >> we have three patients. one patient's going to be a trauma. >> emergency crews finally cutting the pilot out of the wreckage. what we are learning he did to save the lives of those on board. and good morning, america. what an incredible story out of florida. take a look right there. you see that plane crash. well, our news crew from wplg down in miami was out flying going on a story when they spotted this wreckage. they went down, went into action, saved the people on board that aircraft. amazing story. we'll hear from the crew ahead. >> good thing an engineer happened to be on board that helicopter. we begin with that storm taking aim at the northeast. the remains of hurricane patricia not finished making life miserable for millions of americans. dumping flooding rain from texas into the florida panhandle and now moving north and ginger, of course, is following all that
7:02 am
for us. >> i'll start us off in east baton rouge where the sheriff's office took these photos. students got caught up. they put them on a truck and couldn't get the truck through the flash flooding so had to rescue them off there. thankfully everybody okay but a lot of this fueled from the recommemnants of patricia. mississippi, alabama. this morning mostly west florida up to southern indiana and ohio where the storm is but will move quickly into pennsylvania, new york, washington, d.c. will get it by tomorrow morning and out of here but it drops up to 3 inches of rain especially in some of the higher elevations. i'll be back talking about snow on the west coast in just a couple of minutes so don't go anywhere. >> 3 inches of rain. the race for president. "your voice, your vote" and counting down to the next big republican debate tomorrow night. a new poll in iowa shows ben carson opening up a double-digit lead on donald trump while jeb bush tries to get back in the game with help from his family.
7:03 am
abc's tom llamas has all the latest. good morning, tom. >> reporter: let's take a look at these numbers. you can see dr. ben carson with a commanding lead over trump, 32% to 18%. not only that, carson is the first or second choice for 51% of likely voters in that critical state. new motivation for trump to highlight the difference between himself and carson at tomorrow's debate. for months donald trump seemed unstoppable, but this morning with more proof his campaign is struggling in iowa. now three polls showing dr. ben carson is the new front-runner in the hawkeye state. >> i'm number two in iowa. i said, i don't believe it. one's bloomberg, they hate me. the other one is a super liberal newspaper "the des moines register" which is third rate. >> reporter: trump not ready to surrender his position describing the former neurosurgeon as sleepy. >> perfectly fine as i've said many times. there have been many times when
7:04 am
i've operated for 12, 15, 18, 20 hours. >> reporter: this morning, trump dealing with more than just a surging carson, some pointing out trump who celebrated his wealth on the campaign trail by signing dollar bills may be too out of touch with middle and working class voters after saying this. >> i started off in brooklyn. my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars. >> trump defending it saying a million isn't very much compared to what he's built. one of trump's rivals jeb bush struggling with finances would love a million bucks right now. bush huddled with family and loyal donors at this texas hotel trying to's assure them that experience will trump the outsider. bush has said his 91-year-old father is so mad about trump, he sometimes throws shoes at the tv when he's on. when he threw out the first pitch at a recent playoff game, his wife barbara had a campaign sticker right on her walker. and going back to those poll numbers out of iowa many credit the carson surge to his numbers with evangelical, voters
7:05 am
connecting with carson. it's those same type of voters that helped the last two republican winners, rick santorum and mike huckabee who are still in the race, as well. >> lagging behind. thanks. let's talk to matt dowd right now. our political analyst and start out with donald trump behind carson in iowa. see him going after carson, his low energy and raising questions about his religion, will this work? >> i think this is a unique territory for donald trump because he's now in second place in a state the first time in over 100 days and he's never faced this before. he's also never faced somebody like ben carson in this and his ability to attack him in the same way he attacked jeb bush and others. ben carson doesn't respond. what donald trump doesn't want to become is the frank burns to a trapper john who is the doctor at "m.a.s.h.." that's what he has to fear. >> he started out as the front-runner, jeb bush, and now in the middle of the pack. what went wrong? >> i think the premise of his campaign was probably off from
7:06 am
the beginning. i think jeb bush's problem is both the jeb part and the bush part. bush part is that people don't, many republicans like the bush family but do not want bush as a third term and his performance has been underwhelming by most counts. at the last two debates and even in speeches it's been underwhelming. he has to change that. that's why the debate coming up is so important. >> his team is starting to raise questions about marco rubio, calling him the gop obama. >> yeah, it's interesting to me. this is a brash young rookie like in "any given sunday" taking on the aging quarterback and they don't like it at all. this he thought this was their time and this other senator is taking on terms and becoming more popular, is both personally upsetting and may impact the race. >> matthew dowd, thanks very much. robin. >> we turn to a dramatic new detail from that whale watching tour that left at least five people dead. one person is still missing and abc's neal karlinsky is on the
7:07 am
scene for us on vancouver island. good morning, neal. >> reporter: robin, good morning. we're learning a lot of new information about just what went on out there. one of the women in the water at the time was apparently pregnant. two others clung together for survival sharing a single life jacket between them. this morning, just the top of the huge leviathan ii visible above water and our first look at the some of the survivors minutes from being plucked from the water huddled under a tarp exhausted. 13 owe their lives to ken brown who saw an emergency flare and race towards it. >> we saw the flare and knew we were going to assist and help. >> reporter: survivors in the water clinging to whatever they could find, parts of the boat or even rocks. >> we picked up one guy that was hanging off the sunken boat by -- i don't know what he was hanging on to, the door or side of the boat happening on for dear life. >> reporter: we journeyed out to
7:08 am
see the whale watching boat that went down with 27 people on board. you can just make out the name "leviathan ii" and towed it off into the cove and the rcmb has been guarding it and have had divers in the water as well. five british citizens never made it out alive. a sixth person remains missing but 21 people did survive the 30 minutes of hell in 55-degree water not knowing if anyone would come for them. officials from the whale watching company that has run tours in these waters for 20 years don't understand what went wrong. >> again, we are all deepened saddened this has happened. our sincerest thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by this. the cause remains unknown and investigations are ongoing and survivors said it seemed to go down without any warning at all. >> thanks. the latest on the battle against isis. president obama set to decide whether to put more troops closer to the battle even on the ground in syria and abc's chief
7:09 am
global affairs correspondent martha raddatz in washington with the details. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. the administration is weighing a number of options that could expose our troops to more danger. one option is using forward air controllers on the ground to call in air strikes that makes it easier to find and confirm targets and "the washington post" is reporting that the president will also consider putting a small team of special operations troops on the ground in syria with those moderate syrian rebels to advise and assist, george. >> martha, this comes after the death of one of those troops in that raid on the isis prison. >> in afghanistan and could be very similar. the options in iraq and syria would not on paper put the u.s. forces in direct combat but as we have seen that's always a possibility, george. >> okay. martha raddatz, thanks very much. >> all right, and now to that deadly homecoming parade crash in oklahoma. the driver is now being held on $1 million bond. abc's ryan owens is in
7:10 am
stillwater, oklama, with the latest. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. as this college town mourns this driver made her first court appearance on monday. the judge agreeing with prosecutors that she's a direct threat to her community but her family is rushing to her defense saying there's more to this story. the driver caught on tape plowing into a homecoming parade. 25-year-old adacia chambers is being held on a million dollars bond this morning. in court monday she appeared via video from the jail. only the judge could see her. not even her own family. >> the little girl i raised wouldn't have been -- done something like this. >> reporter: prosecutors are awaiting toxicology results but they believe chambers was high on drugs when she got behind the wheel saturday morning killing four and injuring a staggering 47 others at oklahoma state university. >> we're gonna need a bunch of help.
7:11 am
>> reporter: chambers' daughter insists his daughter doesn't take drugs. >> i'm not going to believe that until they show me proof. >> reporter: her boyfriend said she was not impaired when she left for work at this local restaurant. >> i've never seen her take any prescription medication, never used drugs. >> reporter: the district attorney says chambers will be charged with four counts of second degree murder. one each for the retired professor and his wife, the mba student and 2-year-old boy who lost their lives. the judge ordered a psychological evaluation. her attorney says she's mentally ill and doesn't remember the crash. >> i said of the people you collided with, four were killed. and she's like, okay. and that was it. >> reporter: in court the prosecutor told the judge that another victim of this crash is in very grave condition at the hospital and that it's quite possible a fifth murder charge is on the way.
7:12 am
george. >> my goodness, okay, ryan, thanks very much. we're going to turn to that tv news helicopter crew that became part of the story springing into action when they spotted a small plane crash. abc's mary bruce has the details. >> reporter: a television crew to the rescue. our abc affiliate pga in the air over ft. lauderdale in their news chopper when they spot the terrifying scene below, a plane carrying two passengers down in the everglades. debris strewn across a swampy marsh. that's the pilot there tuck in the cockpit trapped under the trees? we have three patients, one patient's going to be in trauma. that's the pilot. he needs to be extricated. >> reporter: with the emergency crews 11 minutes away sky team 10 leaps into action landing their helicopter dropping off engineer juan rodriguez to help. >> trying to get into the cockpit and see how we can help and when we saw the pilot, got a bloody face. >> reporter: the plane carrying two lawyers from a jacksonville law firm, you can see one here
7:13 am
trying to comfort the pilot. they both walked away with minor injuries. >> i was in constant contact with air traffic control and they were querying us on the likes, the amount of people on board and their welfare. >> reporter: when first responders arrive watch as they peel back the front of the plane cutting the pilot out of the wreckage. >> his lower extremities, his legs were entangled underneath that cockpit. how it landed is a testament to the spite's skill in pry venting further injury or even death. >> reporter: he is air life lifted to a nearby hospital in critical condition. the crew of sky team 10 happy they were in the right place at the right time. >> i don't consider us part of the news. you know, we're helping any way we can. >> reporter: for "good morning america," mary bruce, abc news, atlanta. >> they did help and we hope that pilot is okay. now we turn to amy with today's other top stories. new tensions overnight with
7:14 am
china. >> a u.s. missile destroyer entered the south china sea by an island that china claims is within its territorial waters. china is calling it illegal and a threat to chinese sovereignty saying it will take all necessary measures to protect its territory. well, the frantic search for survivors is intensifying as the death toll rises from monday's powerful earthquake in afghanistan and pakistan. about 400 people are now confirmed dead. more than 4,000 homes are destroyed or damaged. those numbers are expected to rise as rescue teams reach remote villages impacted. breaking overnight a budget breakthrough in washington could be john boehner's final ago as speaker of the house. boehner and other republican leaders have announced a deal with the white house which would avoid a government shutdown and debt crisis. it calls for $80 billion in increased spending, a final vote could come tomorrow.
7:15 am
well, a scare in the tennessee mountains, a couple found this bear breaking into a car in the parking lot opening the door jumping in and -- >> oh, the car door -- >> yep, started beeping the horn looking for food before he finally ran away empty-handed. taking a stand against the black friday frenzy. a major retailer is refusing to open on black friday this year. sporting goods store rei won't be opening its doors and won't be processing any sales online either. but the company will pay its employees not to go to work but instead to spend time outdoors. the ceo released this video with his desk in front of a mountain backdrop saying it's a statement of the company's values to ditch shopping on black friday and enjoy the great outdoors instead. >> hear, hear. >> yes, anything -- he says we're all opting out side. he's hoping it'll catch on. not sure that's going to work. good for them.

7:41 am
of its kind investigation into why that happens. as these safety tests show, even a skilled driver who knows a tire is about to blow cannot be controlled. >> what's your emergency? >> yes, i just have seen a bad accident. a little girl swung out on the road. >> reporter: despite a series of recalls it's something far too many americans learn too late. this woman was badly injured when a tire on her car fell apart. she was unaware it had been recalled years earlier as unsafe. >> the next thing i know i hear a loud pop and then i mean basically everything just went so -- i mean so fast. it's a big blur. >> reporter: the tire that florida police say was at fault in this church van accident had been under recall for more than a year but no one knew. two adults died. ten teenagers were hospitalized. that accident helped lead to today's national transportation safety board investigation of
7:42 am
the badly flawed tire recall system. >> when you see 33,000 steps a year reeling to detective tires we know we have a serious tire problem and a good part of that relates to recalls. >> reporter: the ntsb investigation also looked at aged tires. safety engineers say depending on how they're maintained and used they can begin to lose their tread and separate after as little as six years. >> sometimes a consumer will look at a tire and not know that there is an aging problem because the aging problem is not necessarily visible. >> reporter: but no current law or industry standard prevents the sale of aged tires. and an abc news investigation last year found plenty of them for sale described as perfectly safe. in new york, 8 1/2-year-old tires. in rhode island, 9-year-old tires, in san francisco, tires that were 11 and 15 years old. >> unbelievable, brian. >> yes, indeed. ford, gm and chrysler recommend tires six years older and more
7:43 am
