7:02 am
crackdown on security involving luggage handling expected there and at the hundreds of overseas airports that fly directly to the u.s. as investigators try to figure out what took down that plane in egypt. abc's brian ross starts us off. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, george. according to the chairman of the house homeland security committee, the u.s. as soon as this weekend is expected to order sweeping security changes for all flights coming nonstop to the u.s. from some 275 foreign airports, focused on luggage handling and airport personnel a direct result of the consensus a bomb brought down that jet after being smuggled past lax security at the egyptian airport where it took off. the sharpened focus today on overseas security comes after intelligence say they discovered an astounding lack of security sheikh. and fears that if it was a bomb that isis had an insider there with access to the luggage hold and may have infiltrated other airports, as well, which unlike
7:03 am
sharm el sheikh have direct flights to the u.s. >> the last chance, if you will, to catch something like a bomb on an airplane. >> reporter: u.s. and british officials tell abc news the strongest evidence so far that a bomb blew this plane out of the sky comes from isis itself from electronic intercepts of terrorists talking specifically about a bomb. president obama has now weighed in for the first time. >> i think there is a possibility there was a bomb on board and we're taking that very seriously. >> reporter: yet almost a week after the crash no hard evidence of what happened to the jet precisely and u.s. intelligence officials told secretary members of congress at a classified briefing thursday the bomb theory is still far from certain. >> well, i think it's going to take forensic examination of the wreckage of the plane,
7:04 am
full investigation at sharm el sheikh airport. >> reporter: they've been told there will be flights to take them home but not with their luggage. that will come later on a separate flight, robin. >> all right, brian, thank you. as you know, all of this is raising questions about the possible threat to american airline passengers. and joining us now from washington is john pistole, former head of the tsa and now president of anderson university. you used to run the tsa, john. what are your biggest concerns right now? >> well, good morning, robin. yes, my concerns are, one, that if this is a terrorist incident that it's not isolated, it's not a singular incident that there may be other people similar situated who are wanting to do something and are poised to do that. the second concern is that if there is a new technique that has been used, a new type of explosive device then that also creates additional concerns. >> a lot of people are talking
7:05 am
and overseas, so what should the concerns be there, john? >> i think it's not only checked bags, but if that is the situation, then additional scrutiny would need to be applied through explosive detect machines and the human inspection of those bags, but it applies both to that -- those items which would be carried on flight like we had with abdullah mutallab. >> you talked about something a while ago about these un undetectable bombs and, again, we don't know exactly what the scenario is with the flight that just recently went down but you raised a red flag about that and there seems to be growing concern about that now. >> i think you're referring to the nonmetallic improvised explosive device which is the underwear bomb or some of those
7:06 am
other types, which could get through traditional metal detectors and walk through them and other things. but in this instance, it may have been that, but it's more likely it is sounding that it was something that was smuggled on board that flight which may have been done by an unwitting airport worker thinking that they were being paid a bribe to smuggle money or contraband or drugs on a flight but smuggled explosives on. that's the concern there. >> so much work to be done. john, thanks for joining us. >> many more question as head. that storm slamming the south overnight, tornadoes reported in oklahoma and texas where downpours and powerful destruction. ryan owens reports from dallas. good morning, ryan. you, george. we're in the parking lot of a bank building north of ft. let me get out of the way and you can see what happened here. that is some sheet metal that came off the roof of this
7:07 am
cars in the parking lot below. >> the roof of the building just [ bleep ] blew off. >> reporter: a reported tornado touches down on top of this bank building north of ft. worth, texas. >> i'm going to call 911. >> reporter: the winds ripped down pieces of the roof tossing them onto cars below. flying sheets of metal raining down just an hour before the end of the workday. >> all of a sudden we started hearing a swirling sound. it was very terrifying. >> reporter: somehow no one is hurt. but plenty of cars are damaged. across north texas a line of torrential blinding rain. this funnel cloud spotted earlier in the day. cracking. >> reporter: the same storm illuminating the sky, hail leaving holes in cars. in oklahoma it made for a driving adventure. jackknifing. utility poles getting knocked to
7:08 am
in kansas, winds and rain practically halting traffic. and in arkansas, transformers igniting after power lines were tossed to the ground. there is no structural damage to the building behind me but it will be closed today so they can clean up quite the mess here in the parking lot. a cleanup that feels a whole lot more like a storm we would see in spring than in november, robin. >> it does, ryan, thank you. the race for president now and this morning, gop candidate ben carson is coming under fire facing questions about stories he tells on the stump about his violent past. abc's tom llamas is in the studio with that. >> good morning. back in january dr. carson said he welcomed the vetting process, actually welcomed being under the magnifying glass and right now that's exactly where he finds himself. this morning, dr. ben carson facing new accusations claiming he made up part of his compelling life story which he
7:09 am
campaign trail. >> at age 14 another teenager angered me and i had a large camping knife and i tried to stab him in the abdomen and fortunately under his clothing he had on a large metal belt buckle and the knife blade struck with such force that it broke. >> reporter: but cnn says several friends, neighbors and classmates don't recall that ever happening. >> i was a little surprised by it. >> reporter: back in 2000 carson recalled the same story in a documentary, going into detail about his violent temper. >> i would hit people with hammers and bats, throw rocks at people, almost put a guy's eye out one time. tried to even hit my own mother in the head with a hammer. >> reporter: carson calls the investigation comical and claims cnn interviewed the wrong people. >> i want to point out how silly the cnn investigation is because when i would have flashes of temper, it would only be to people who were directly involved. it wouldn't be something that everybody else would know.
7:10 am
>> reporter: he's also now under fire from gay rights groups for saying this. >> how about we have a transgender bathroom? it is not fair for them to make everybody else uncomfortable. >> reporter: his recent comments following another unorthodox move. his campaign releasing this rap ad running today in several cities. in we wanna get america back on track we got to vote ben carson a matter of fact >> reporter: it's pretty catchy but that's not carson rapping. his strategy to appeal to younger black voters which at this point in the race republicans usually don't go after. >> another debate, of course, coming up next week so who is in, who is out? give us the starting lineup. >> big news. now only eight. i know we say only eight. the lineup right now, the two people missing governor chris christie and mike huckabee. this is not good for their campaigns. the stage will be smaller because of low polling numbers those two won't be there. they'll be in the lower card debate so we'll see how this changes the debate.
7:11 am
>> whether you can get back on once you're off. we move to those candid comments from president george h.w. bush. the new buy iography about him from jon meacham. he takes off on cheney and rumsfeld calling him an arrogant fellow who served george w. bush badly. >> reporter: this is something we've really never seen before, a big bush family dispute bursting forward into the public. bush's sons, george w. and jeb revere their father but both are forced to respond to his criticism of cheney and rumsfeld and by extension of george w. bush himself. in a statement bluntly disagreeing with his father george w. bush said, i am proud to have served with dick cheney and don rumsfeld.
7:12 am
i was fortunate to have him by my side. don rumsfeld ageably led the pentagon and was an effective secretary of defense. as for bush, he told me jeb bush, he told me just this week that his father is the greatest man alive, but he is now siding with his brother on all this. listen to this. >> my brother is a big boy. his administration was shaped by his thinking, his reaction to the attack on 9/11. i think my dad like a lot of people that love george wanted to create a different -- >> reporter: one particularly awkward tidbit is that the book says jeb bush tried to get his father to drop vice president dan abrams dan quayle when he ran for re-election. quayle just endorsed jeb bush last week. >> donald rumsfeld had a pretty pointed response saying the former president, the eller president bush is getting on in years. >> reporter: this probably kit
7:13 am
he said bush 41 is getting on in years and misjudges bush 43. they may disagree with their father but i don't think either jeb or george w. would particularly appreciate, you know, that kind of a comment from don rumsfeld. >> awkward stuff, jon karl, thanks very much. you'll sit down with hillary clinton on monday. >> traveling to new hampshire next week to talk with her. >> okay. now to another bizarre twist in that illinois police lieutenant who staged his own suicide. he considered hiring a hit man, investigators say, to take out the woman who may have exposed his illegal activity. abc's alex perez has the story. >> reporter: this morning, new details on lieutenant joe gliniewicz's plan to cover up his tracks. investigators say that included embezzling tens of thousands from a police department youth program he directed. text messages show the officer nicknamed g.i. joe considered anne marrin. >> he wanted to speak to this
7:14 am
member to initiate a hit on the village manager. >> reporter: police say marrin had ordered an audit of his program demanding a full report of its finances. >> it's a very scary thought that an officer who is sworn to uphold the law would even attempt to think to do something like that. >> reporter: authorities say fearing he would be exposed gliniewicz killed himself with his own gun in september shooting himself twice in an elaborate plan to make it seem like he had been gunned down in the line of duty. at the time, many here embracing his family while police search for suspects that they now say never existed. for two months his widow insisting he would never take his own life. >> there were things that were happening in our life that people who are going to commit suicide would never do. >> reporter: but according to abc affiliate wls, authorities are now investigating the lieutenant's widow and son in connection with his embezzlement scheme. and an investigator tells me he
7:15 am
can neither confirm nor deny whether the lieutenant's family is now part of the criminal investigation. in a statement through their attorney, the family has only said they have been cooperating robin. >> thank you, alex. now amy with the morning's other top stories starting with a deadly bus crash. >> that's right. police say at least six people have died after a charter bus hit a bridge abutment on interstate 40 near little rock, arkansas. one witness reports seeing the bus drift before the crash. that bus was heading to texas from michigan and was reportedly carrying migrant workers. also breaking, an environmental disaster in southeastern brazil after a dam broke there burying a small town in toxic sludge from an iron mine. at least 17 people are dead. dozens of others are missing and rescue teams are having trouble reaching the town. well, the veterans affairs department is on the offensive explaining why workers were playing a children's game while on the clock. this is the staff at a v.a.
7:16 am
center in wisconsin caught on camera playing a human version of hungry, hungry hippos. the v.a. says it was part of a >> okay. and finally it pays nice to be -- it pays to be nice to grandma or better put may cost you if you're not. an 85-year-old woman in europe decided to shred all of her cash instead of leaving it to her family. before she died she shredded $1.1 million and left it on her bed but then in a twist, the central bank in austria stepped in and told the family if the origin of the money is assured then, of course, it can all be replaced so itting loos like grandma's heirs will inherit the cash but it's a good idea to be nice to grandma. >> great idea. >> do we know what she was so mad about. >> no, we do not know. extreme liang bring. >> yes. thank you, amy. you know, kids all over the country are playing in rubber sports feels but are they safe?
7:17 am
>> back at 7:17 with safety concerns about crumb rubber playing fields. you see them everywhere and abc's mary bruce has the story. >> reporter: this morning, a turf war is brewing. over turf. it's called crumb rubber. little pellets made from ground up tires used as turf on more than 10,000 athletic feels and playgrounds around the country. star athlete world cup champion abby wambach voicing concerns.
7:18 am
pellets? >> reporter: some say they contain carcinogens left over from discarded tires and on the field some players say those pellets can easily get into your mouth and eyes leaving them wondering about possible health effects. the industry maintains there is no known link between crumb rubber and cancer. the synthetic tur self counseling telling abc news more than 50 studies results have shown no elevated health risks associated with it but support any new or expanded research. the head of the epa telling our sister network espn's "e 60" this -- >> that doesn't mean we're dismissing the concerns. >> reporter: lawmakers are vat tied with the studies so far calling an independent federal investigation. >> what we need to know how widely and in what amounts these chemicals are used in the crumb
7:19 am

7:30 am
it. every 40 seconds in the u.s. a child goes missing or is abduct abducted. the vast majority found in a matter of hours. but this 5-year-old kid who loved fishing, watching movies and eating at chuck e. cheese pizza went missing for 13 years until he essentially found himself. >> my understanding is he was applying to college, that there was some discrepancy in his social security number because both he and his dad were living under false names. >> reporter: that's not what he looks like now. it's the image authorities worked with for years as they sought to track him down using age progression technology. authorities say the young man first became aware something was wrong when his social security number kept coming up invalid on his college financial aid forms. >> he worked with his own school counselor and it was discovered that he was on the national database for missing and

his mother. they're asking for privacy at this point. the father faces a probable next week. he's facing possible identity theft and fraud charges here, as well as felony charges related george, robin. >> wow, his own attorney says he saw it coming. give up hope. dave, thank you for that. now to that murder mystery on the hudson. angelika graswald charged with killing her fiancee while on a kayaking trip. now she's spoke eaking out about what really happened and "20/20" anchor elizabeth vargas is here to give us a sneak peek. >> this has got to be one of the most unusual methods of murder anybody has ever heard of and that's why this case has attracted so much attention. angelika graswald is in jail on $9 million bond. she doesn't have a prayer of posting it. police say the motive was money and the murder weapon was a recreational kayak. did you kill vince? >> no. >> that day?
7:33 am
>> no, i loved him. i didn't do it. >> reporter: angelika graswald speaking out on camera for the first time since being charged with the murder of her fiance, vincent vie a viafore. >> i don't see him. oh, my god. >> can you see the kayak still? >> no, the kayak went underwater. >> reporter: the case made national headlines specifically for graswald's behavior after the incident, posting videos of facebook. doing yoga in a police interrogation room and according murder. sort of. >> i wanted him dead and now he's gone. and i'm okay with that. like that. >> they kept asking me the same questions like a hundred times and i knew that i was innocent and i was at my breaking point.
7:34 am
so i just gave them what they wanted. >> reporter: angelique cathedral says when she walked into that room she had no idea she was suspected of murder. >> they told me it was going to be like a therapy session. they were -- >> a therapy session. >> it's therapy for you. like i said you will feel better. >> you will too. >> what did you think that meant? >> i thought they meant that it would help me and i could open up and i didn't need a lawyer. >> pretty naive actually. >> yeah, right. now i know. >> reporter: police arrested graswald that very night. >> we believe that she intentionally caused his death. >> reporter: arguing she intentionally removed that plug from vincent's kayak allowing it to fill with water and sink. >> why didn't he have that plug in there. >> he didn't have it because i guess i had it. >> reporter: so we went to the hudden with todd wright, a top kayak safety expert.
7:35 am
>> that prosecutors say angelique cathedral removed in a plot to kill vince. but this plug is, what, half an inch in diameter. >> look at how large the cockpit is where the seat is. there's a lot of water that can enter that. that's a big hole. >> reporter: that plug is tiny and our experiments showed that this kayaker had no trouble crossing the hudson in an identical kayak with the plug removed. did you kill vince? >> no. >> that day? well, prosecutors will have to prove their case. there is a gag order right now under way for both the defense and the prosecution so they can't answer a lot of these questions which is all the things that you would have to take into account in order to make that murder happen. i mean she's charged with premeditated murder as well as manslaughter so have both ways to go. why would she say the things she said, you were asking. it's important to note she was in there for 11 hours. it's a small room with no windows. she wasn't allowed out. a lot of people say a lot of strange things after many hours
7:36 am
of police questioning. >> you've heard people say that over the year, they are just beaten down but your experiment by taking the plug out of the kayak -- >> there was no way it would have flooded going through that tiny plug. vince wasn't wearing a wet suit. the water was very cold. he would have been incapacitated within two minutes they say at 48-degree water temperature. he wasn't wearing a life vest. she was tiny. he was a big built man so the fact that could she have saved him? should she have saved him? >> prosecution not backing off at all. >> not at all. >> thank you for coming in. you can see. more on elizabeth's story on "20/20" tonight at 10:00, 9:00 central right here on abc. coming up, a parenting alert about the blinds that may be in your home. the cords that could become a huge threat to your children. come on back. the same hands. same eyes. same laugh. and since she's had moderate alzheimer's disease, i've discovered we have the same fighting spirit, too. that's why i asked her doctor about new once-a-day namzaric

8:16 am
is. you know, i can start the healing process and take steps forward to get myself better. >> is the first time in rehab? had there been other times you didn't share with us. >> no, this is the first time? how did you get to that point of needing help? was there some breaking point, something that happened that even to yourself you said, man, i got to get help here. >> in 2012 i came to the realization i was an alcoholic and i was battling it without any help, and, you know, i would relapse, i would go a couple, two, three months at a time sober and i was just relapse and, you know, go on these weekends when i thought nobody was paying attention and get in a hotel room and drink out of the mini bar pretty much everything. >> reporter: a three-year secret battle with alcohol that culminated with a binge weekend in baltimore just before the end of the regular season. can you just give us more details when that was and what was going on? >> it was the last day of the
8:17 am
isolated by myself. stayed in my room the whole weekend, i think it was october 4th. woke up and felt i needed help. it was a tough decision to make because i felt like i was leaving my teammates but i definitely needed the help to be a better husband, father, tealmate, you know, player. >> did ever drink before a game? >> no, no, and that was one of clear up. you know, by doing this is, you know, i never drank before games or anything like that. >> people have been overwhelmingly supportive though there are some, the timing of it was like right before going to the postseason. how do you respond to some of now? why now? >> i understand where, you know, fans would be upset and people don't understand but it's a disease and if it was my knee or people wouldn't have a problem with it but, you know, it being alcoholism, it's tougher for people to swallow but it's the same thing.
8:18 am
i look to be a role model and stay sober and kind of lead by example. i'm just here to say this disease has no color, no age and it's very serious so i advise anybody if they're out there feeling like they need help to get it. >> there are a lot of temptations, this is new york city. >> yeah. >> i guess they're anywhere. >> i think that's the reason why i wanted to do it publicly. >> reporter: sabathia knows that his recovery will be a lifelong process and with the support of his wife amber, high school sweethearts, and their four children, he is determined to stay sober. and have you seen a difference since he's been back. >> absolutely. i've been able to visit him through the whole process so i absolutely have seen a difference. i know it's one day at a time and it's going to be better and, you know, the old cc will be back but i don't know if i want the old cc back. i like the new cc. i like this cc. >> how have your teammates reacted? what have they said? have you heard from them. >> i've heard from all of them. everybody has been positive

8:54 am
overcast and a few sunny breaks into the afternoon. the change occurs late this afternoon and evening as the line of showers comes through. it should be a brief half an hour shower. maybe a brief downpour coming with it. once it goes by, the cooler air starts to rush in over the next 36 hours. cooler air in the 50's to 60's. clearing skies later on tonight. it drops temperatures back into the 30's to mid 40's and highs tomorrow are up into the 50's across the area with partly sunny skies and a good breeze. mostly sunny skies after a few clouds early on sunday gives us highs only in the 40's. from there we start working our way back closer to the averages. fair skies early next week. erin: all right. looking good. thank you, kevin.
