7:01 am
it to me and said something like don't be stupid. >> the man carjacked by the boston bombing suspects breaks his silence. >> now you're running. >> i was running. i was just running as fast as i can, and never looked back. seven americans were killed when a cargo plane crashed in afghanistan. this video appears to show it going down after it took off from bagram airbase. >> what he loved more than flying of tonal two weeks. >> soon they can buy a morning after pill without a prescription. the fda has planned for over-the-counter sales known as plan b. guantanamo is not necessary to keep america saved. >> to make sure it closes quickly, they're turning it into
7:02 am
a blockbuster video. a wild and dangerous police pursuit in l.a. >> he has no care for himself let alone people on the street. >> it's proveing to be pure chaos leading to violence in the parliament. >> all that -- >> what's he going to do? shut up, shut up okay? >> usually a shotgun is enough for a successful robbery, but not from this guy. >> you still have the juice to get through the rest of congress. >> when you put it that way john, maybe i should pack up and go home. >> -- on "cbs this morning" -- a guy playing toss the ball at a carnival lost his entire life's savings. it's been a tough week for tim tebow. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" presented by
7:03 am
prudential. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." >> good morning, charlie. investigators believe he was among the last victims of the tsarnaev brothers. >> and for his safety we are disguising his identity and his voice. the man we're calling danny gave his first television interview to cbs correspondent john miller. >> he took out his gun, the pointed it to me. said something like don't be stupid. >> did he say anything about what else they'd done that night. >> he asked a question like do you -- i said i give that and i just killed a policeman in cambridge. >> and when they're speaking in russian, do you understand any of the words in their conversation? >> i only heard one word.
7:04 am
it's "manhattan." >> manhattan. >> yeah. >> did it seem like they were going there? >> yeah. it seemed like they were going to new york because they asked me a lot of questions like can your car go out of state? i was like what do you mean. they said can your car go out of state like to new york? i think they were heading to new york. we want to talk to john about the response to the attack. john is a former assistant to the fbi. good morning, john. >> good morning, charlie. >> was enough information shared in your opinion? >> as far as both agencies' account of it they were aware of the request. they got the same information from the russia which was practically nothing. they ran their traps through the field investigation. it was very interesting to see at the president's press conference he didn't announce
7:05 am
that he had ordered the dni to conduct the review. the question was is it true you ordered this review and why did you do it because it suggests that the white house might think something's wrong. the president said this is now standard. when we have an attack on the u.s. soil i as an order of routine order it to see if there's anything we can learn from it do better or something we missed. >> if they find they did not share the information, what happens next? >> that's the really interesting part, norah. i was director of national intelligence. i worked for the dni and i was put in charge of a segment of the underwear bombing review did we miss something? why did the information find each other across these different databases and in the end we came up with a bunch of
7:06 am
recommendations recommendations. here's the issue with the dni. the law says they're the leader with all 16 agencies. on page 2 of the law there's fine print that says but the dni cannot order the dni to do anything, so basically he can politely recommend changes but has no teeth. if they're going to get changes here, giets doing come from the white house. >> thank you john. chilling appearances document a disaster as it happened. a cargo plane crashed monday. several americans were killed. the plane went down just after takeoff. the video may have been captured by a car driving by. mark phillips has more. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. the dashboard cam captures disturbing video of the crash. it seems to show the plane, the 747 stall and then fall out of the sky after takeoff. a word of warning, though this video isn't authenticated
7:07 am
although it appears to have been taken at the time of the crash, and what it shows may be upsetting. the video appears to show the civilian cargo plane attempting to take off from the bagram air base about 40 miles from kabul. as it climbs the nose points. it stalls and appears to be losing altitude crashing within the base's perimeter. all seven crew members onboard were killed. six of the victims were from michigan and one was from kentucky. >> i love my brother more than anything, and if i could trade places with him so that he could be with his family i would in a heartbeat. >> the plane a cargo version of the 747 was bound for dubai carrying vehicles and supplies. >> it seems to be traveling slower than typical. >> cbs news aviation and safety expert captain sully sullenberger said once the plane went into its death stall, there
7:08 am
was nothing the pilots could do to prevent the crash. >> certainly the nose of the plane at a high angle and decreasing that puts you at risk for the stall of the plane at which point it becomes uncoverable if you're too close to the ground. at first the taliban claimed responsibility for downing the aircraft but a nato spokesperson said the claims were false and there were no signs of anti-aircraft missile being fired at the plane or any other type of insurgency at the time of the crash. national airlines the orlando florida-based company that operated the aircraft could not verify the authenticity of the video, but in a statement said the ntsb is charged with investigating the crash and determining cause and we anticipation the ntsb will study the video as part of that process. >> well, having video of an accident like this is going to be extremely helpful,
7:09 am
particularly when they're able to pair it up with the cockpit flight reporter and cockpit data recorder. when they come up with all of these things they'll understand exactly what happened. >> now planes flying out of bagram take off at more extreme angles in order to gain altyi altitude. one theory is it may have lost power or its cargo may have shifted to the rear and the pilots didn't have another air speed or altitude to recover. >> mark phillips thank you. and girls as young as 15 will soon be able to walk goo any drugstore and buy a controversial morning after pill. it's called plan b one-step. on tuesday the food and drug administration gave the go-ahead to make it available. chep read chip reid is in washington. good morning. >> good morning, charlie and norah. it has people on both sides of the issue unhappy.
7:10 am
plan b one-step is a morning after pill that can prevent pregnancy. until now it was available to those under 17 only by prescription. tuesday's decision allows anyone 15 and older without the consent of a doctor or parent to buy it off the shelf. that concerns groups like the family research council. >> we all know that the add less end brain hasn't reached full maturity which is why we need parental guidance and guidance from doctors. >> but planned parenthood while applauding the fda says it hasn't gone far enough. women must show i.d. that they're 15 years old before they can buy it. >> it would be a great if there was no age restriction. >> that could soon be the case. the fda ruled that it must be made available to anyone who wants it. it could be as simple as buying aspirin or tooth plaeft.
7:11 am
but in 2007 when kathleen sebelius blocked the decision to make it available to women and girls of all ages president obama said this. >> she could not be confident that a 10-year-old or 11-year-old going to a drugstore should be able to buy a medication that potentially if not used proper will i could end up having an adverse effect. >> now, obama administration officials say they have not yet decided to appeal the federal judges' ruling that would allow anyone of any age to buy plan b right off the shelf, so for now, norah and charlie, this issue is up in the air. it's not clear how it will be resolved. >> all right chip. thank you. we should point out this is not ru ru-486 that is prescribed for terminating pregnancies. my understanding is plan b
7:12 am
prevents ovulation so there's an important distinction there. >> chip reid thank you. president obama leaves tomorrow for costa rica. yesterday he held a wide-ranging news conference. bill plante is at the white house. good morning, bill. >> good morning, charlie. good morning norah. the gun bill sale the sequester appears here to stay and immigration reform is still a glimmer of hope largely because the president has stayed out of it. so here's the way the question was put to him yesterday. do you still have the juice to get anything done. with congress out of session, republicans were out of position to respond as the president charged that the lack of progress on big issues is the fault of members of congress unable to look beyond re-election. >> their base thinks that compromise with me is somehow a betrayal. they're worried about primaries, and i understand all that.
7:13 am
>> even some democrats have expressed concern about implications of the president's signature health care bill. >> if you already got health insurance, then that part of obama care that affects you, it's pretty much already in place. and that's about 85% of the country. >> but the president's confidence and his ability to continue to accomplish his agenda stretched all the way to an unfulfilled campaign promise from 2008. mr. obama's declaration said he would close the prison camp at guantanamo bay cuba where they're currently staging a hunger strike. >> is it any surprise really that they would prefer death rather than have no end in sight to their confinement? >> well it is not a surprise to me that we've got problems ingan. i'm going to go back at this and reengage with congress to try to make the case that this is not something that's in the best interest of the american people. around it's not sustainable.
7:14 am
>> but closing guantanamo as they say around here, is a very heavy lift. many democrats and republicans opposet and it would be almost impossible to remove the obstacles that congress has already put in place. charlie and norah? >> bill plante thanks. cbs correspondent john dickerson is with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> does the president have the juice to push his agenda? >> that's the way it was put in the press conference. the president bristles at the framing of the question. it's not just about his use. it's also about congress. it's more like asking if you have enough gasoline in the car. well that's important but it doesn't matter if the engine the car is broken and his argument is that congress, both because of the structure, the increased use of the filibuster, more polarization means that he doesn't have an engine that he
7:15 am
can work with. that's what he was trying to say yesterday. >> john, what did you make of the overall tone of the press conference? >> it was kind of resigned and all presidents have expressed it. we have these outside expectations. people want the president to be a superhero and he was reasoning with the reporters yesterday, explaining why there are all these obstacles in congress as opposed to perhaps taking another route at the fda taking a bold route, trying anything what that does instead of reasoning and explaining why congress isn't working it's suggesting that the president is out there gutting it out, doing everything possible so people look at congress and say why aren't they working as hard as this guy is. >> for example, the president always has immigration reform interest. we know that's at the top of his
7:16 am
list. where will he focus? >> as bill mentioned, health care is really important. if you think about the president's legacy. one of the things he's got do in the second term is make sure that the big legacy item from the first term, health care gets implemented and survives because if those other two fall health care will be the thing that he will be able to point to and say i was able do what all of my predecessors were not able to do. so there's some protection going on here in addition to try dog the other big things. >> john dickerson, thank you. and president obama says he's in no rush to take military action, but last night they said the president is considering sending weapons to syrian rebels. clarissa is with us. good morning. >> good morning. there seems to be mixed messages. syrian opposition members who we have spoken to say they have no plans to arm the syrian rebels on the ground, but we are also
7:17 am
hearing that president obama seemed to indicate in his press conference yesterday that the use of chemical weapons has not been explored enough that it raises more questions, really than it answers. >> what we now have is evidence that chemical weapons have been used inside of syria, but we don't know how they were used, when they were used who used them. we don't have a chain of custody that establishes what exactly happened. >> as the president spoke, more videos emerged on line of people claiming to have been exposed to chemical weapons. as with all thus claims thus far, they are impossible to slar fie, but that has not stopped panic from spreading inside syria where fears of a large-scale chemical attack are growing. in a letter obtained by cbs news correspondent margaret brennan, the leader of the syrian army asked president obama for support from the u.s. in dealing with the threat of chemical
7:18 am
weapons and warned of the cost of inaction. i respectfully submit to you that assad is not taking your carefully care warnings as loopholes. the president has said if confirmed the use of chemical weapons would be a game-changer. >> by game-changer i mean that we would have to rethink the range of options that are available to us. >> the president would not say what they might be but it's been suggested of arming them or setting up a no-fly zone. yesterday the hezbollah which the u.s. has called a terrorist organization they have no plans to because assad has, quote, real friends this raising fears
7:19 am
that this has turned into a proxy war that is rapidly spilling across syria's borders. clarissa ward thank you. it's the first day of may but some parts of the country still feel like january. this is a scene outside. it was 90 degrees in lubbock, texas, and today could be the low of 34. similar extremes are considered. jeff berardelli is watching the wild weather. jeff, what happened to spring? good morning, norah. winter is not wanting to let go. temperatures being replaced by 20s and 30s. by the way april, the fifth snowiest april on record over the last 47 years in terms of area of snow cover across the country, and we have plenty of heavy snow right now around denver scotts bluff, north to sioux falls. we're going to see as much as 6

>> did it seem like they were going there? >> yeah. it seemed like they were going to new york. they asked me a lot of questions like are you -- can your car go out of state? i asked them, what do you mean. they said, can your car go out of state like new york? i thought they were trying to go to new york at this time. >> but then his suv didn't have enough gas in the tank to get the new york. the brothers needed to find a gas station. >> and do they finally find a gas station to fill it up? >> yeah. they finally find gas station in cambridge cambridge, so i saw that as my last challenge to run. i already had a plan in mind. when we got to the gas station, dzhokhar got out of the car. he took my credit card trying to pump using my credit card. the problem is it was cash only so tamerlan asked him to pay.

at his news conference yesterday president obama spoke out about the state of the union's airport. not a single one ranks amom the top 25. cbs travel editor peter greenberg is with us from minneapolis. peter, good morning. >> good morning, charlie.
7:44 am
>> what did you think of the report? >> they've been around since 1989 and they do rank the airports along some interesting criteria. the only airport that came up close was cincinnati at number 30, and the irony there, charlie, is the reason why cincinnati scored well is because it's uncrowds. and the reason it's uncrowded is because of airline mergers and consolidations. now it's down to about 200, so that will give you an idea how it ranks higher because it's uncrowded. >> what leads to the question that american airports don't measure up? >> it's difficult. you can't expand laguardia. you can't expand the footprint of so many airports. when you think about it the united states hasn't had a new airport in many many years. i think we're stuck with what we've got, and the real key is the criteria used for this survey has to be expanded to include the basics that

opportunities and basically how you get out of the airport. i always laugh when i see rocking chairs at the airport. they may look cute but what's the message they're sending you? you're going to be there a while. >> you say they don't measure up because, a, they're old, haven't been built. are there any other richardsons and what can american airports do given that fact? >> well, if you look at the survey the top five airports that they ranked, four of them were in asia. changi and singapore. they take into account what people really need. they need space and mass transit access. without that, no one's going like the airport. that's what we have to work on in this country, light rail to the airport, easy access and how fast can we get to the airport. the fact that the airport has great shopping areas doesn't really matter. >> right. i agree. tlink are some really nice

hey, good morning, charlie, good morning, gayle, good morning, everybody. it's 8:00 a.m. welcome back to "cbs this morning." president obama brings back an old promise to close guantanamo. and if you're having breakfast, ground turkey may be low in fat but a new consumer report says it could be higher in bacteria. plus the singer/songwriter who broke a record set fwi the beatles more than 50 years ago. but first here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. they were asking me a question like do you know about
8:01 am
the boston bombing on monday? i said yes. they said, i did that. and i just killed a policeman in cambridge. >> the man taken hostage during the bombing was the last among the victims of the tsarnaev brothers. he was thinking, if they let me go they're not going to leave me around to call 911 and call in the license plate while they're driving in new york. the dash camera seems to show the plane falling out of the sky after takeoff. officials say they have not yet decided whether to appeal the federal ruling whether they will allow anyone of any age to buy plan b right off the shelf. >> does the president have the juice to push his agenda? >> he argues there's another one here. it's not just about his juice. it's about congress. winter is not wandting to let go. >> do we want to move into the airport and live in the airport?
8:02 am
no. we want to get out. new york city is testing a plan to make school last two and a half hours. parents haven't commented yet because they're busy high hf-high-fiving everyone they know. in his campaign president obama promised the close guantanamo bay. the camp is still open. now the president says he'll try to shut it down. at a news conference bill plante asked about a hunger strike. >> is it any surprise they would prefer death rather than have no end in sight to their confinement? >> well, it is not a surprise to me that we've got to problems in guantanamo. i'm going go back at this and reengage with congress to try to make the case that this is not something that's in the best
8:03 am
interest of the american people and it's not sustainable. >> bill plante is at the white house. so, bill what would the president have to do now to get it closed? >> well gayle, good morning. he'd have to convince congress to transfer those people out into u.s. prisons or back to other countries and congress simply doesn't want to do that. they have built barriers in the present law to forbid it is so he'd have to get congress to change the law. look, 86 of these people are eligible. they're considered nonthreats but they can't transfercesfer them back to yemen. you have those on hunger strikes 26781 being force fed. this is something that human rights groups and even the american medical association say is not humane but the answer here is they're going to allow it. as the president says he doesn't want them to die and the big reason the u.s. doesn't want them to die is because they would then be seen as martyrs to
8:04 am
the jihad cause. so it's a pretty difficult problem with no apparent solution. >> and, bill a very good question. thank you, bill. and some people buy ground turkey thinking it's healthier than ground beef but consumer reports says be careful. the june issue of the report says the ground turkey can be a breeding ground for bacteria. good morning. >> good morning. >> so this is really fascinating and we're glad you're here. what kind of bacteria are we talking about? >> there's a lot of different bacteria salmonella staff but also others. these are indicator organisms. indicators of filt but they can always cause infections in and of themselves. >> what can they do? >> things likurenary tract infections, blood infections and infections becoming more and more resistant to being overcome by antibiotics.
8:05 am
>> we have a statement from them. both dispute your findings. they say that your results are encourage because they do not show high levels of the bacteria typically linked to food issues. what do you say about that? >> here's what we have to say about that. >> i knew you had a response. >> there's about 403 million pound os ground turkey produced every year. these are from 2008 from the turkey federation. so we found about 5% salmonella. that was one of the lower percents. but even 5% of 403 million pounds is 20 million pounds. that's a significant amount of turkey that would be contaminated with salmonella. the cargill recall was about 30 million. that's not good enough. we need to be better. >> did you do the study or was it managed been someone else? >> we manage the lab, we manage
8:06 am
the entire project. >> why is this not a normal level? there are normal levels of bacteria in food correct? >> in ready-to-eat food you may not have any pathogens on it. this is raw meat product. what we're seeing is significant rates and most of these bacteria are resistant to it. that's simply too much. in looking at that production practice significantly in this study, we noted that ground turkey produced without antibiotics or laced with organic, that bacteria was significantly less resis tamt to antibiotics. >> make sure you read the labels. so music fans will tell you nothing can beat the beatles, but this morning a young performer in britain says yeah, you can. she's claiming a piece of the fab four's musical history. >> reporter: in 1963 the beatles dominated uk music charts with

8:15 am
out of their plastic containers one at a time to collect their venom, which is then frozen and sold to scientists and drug developers. it's a dangerous and unpleasant process that few are willing to try. >> you've done this for obvious reasons. >> this guy is mad. >> a lot of people think i'm brave by working with venomous snakes. i just happen not to be afraid of venomous snakes. if you're afraid you're going to hesitate. as they say, he who hesitates is lost. >> have you ever hesitated? >> i don't think i've ever hesitated. it doesn't mean i haven't had an accident. this finger is not as big as it used to be because i lost a little bit of it. >> snake bite. >> snake bite. >> what would happen if he bit you? >> i would probably it ear a few words and sit down and see how
8:16 am
serious it was. most of the bites are dry and they're safe. >> that dry bite ss ss are fine but wet bites will save a life. >> there are some that cost a lot. it's not a matter of money. anyone who's doing it just for money is doing it for the wrong reason and more likely to have an accident. >> darnell says he does it for the right reason science research. some scientists think we've barely tapped it full me disal value. reed says several are on the market like tegerlin.
8:17 am
but his company is hoping for a breakthrough. >> there's the anti-cancer operations. it's very intriguing when it comes to potential operations to therapies. so i think they're going to be very exciting in the near future. >> the main hurdle facing this kind of research is studies based on snake venom are often seen as snake oil. >> it's not the public who are anti-the idea of using snake venoms. essentially if you're desperate, you're going to use anything. but i think the medical community needs to kind of catch up on the science. >> venom is protein. >> ken darnell is know scientist but he says he believes in their work and at 68 he has no plans to back off. >> i expect to be doing it until i drop. >> why? >> why not? there's no heavy lifting. all you've got do is pick up an eight-pound snake. >> why not? because you could lose another
8:18 am
finger. so does milking them hurt the snake? >> no, not if it's done infrequently and the right way. >> i like how he pointed out female snakes were more difficult to to handle. >> that was not my line. i was advocating ta take it out of the tease. >> was he serious? >> i think he was joking around a bit, having fun with our producer mally. >> i didn't find that amusing. >> it's a fabulous piece. >> it is. thank you, jeff glor. getting a tattoo may be a hit but for one company it's fast cash. we'll show you ahead on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: cbs "healthwatch" sponsored by caninek9 advantix ii. helps preventfleas and ticks from bugging your dog.

8:33 am
we've been talking about this new warnings about ambien. now the record visits to the hospital. why is this? >> ambien and its generic versions they're so prescribed. many outrageous numbers. 44 million prescriptions were filled just last year so we have to assume many more were written. i think what's happening is both doctors and patients now think of the drug as not serious just because it's so common. a lot of patients say, oh, you know i'll just take an ambien. but it is serious. in january the fda increased the dosage for women in half. >> why women? >> does it affect women more than men? >> it does. hates to do with metabolism in the live and stays in our blood system longer. two thirds of those e.r. visits were actually women and the others who run into trouble are the elderly primarily because they're more likely to mix ambien with other drugs. >> i take ambien when i'm
8:34 am
traveling overseas. what are the bad reactions? >> some involve hallucinations behavioral changes, agitation and the more bizarre side effects like sleepwalking sleep drive, sleep eating where you're sort of half asleep and functions. >> this is not funny but someone said they ate a whole cake after taking an ambien. >> that's true. >> is that something wrong with the drug or taking too much of the drug or people have different reactions to the drug? >> you know what i think it is a lot of it has to do 50% of the e.r. visits had to do with mixing the drug with other drugs. so you really can't take it if you're taking any pain medication anti-anxiety medicines or don't mix it with alcohol. i advise we follow this mantra. take the smallest amount possible for the shortest amount of time. it's not to be used every day. >> thank you, doctor.
