very specifically police officers. >> reporter: the men also discuss hijacking a commercial aircraft so the islamic state would gain a plane. one of the men arrested wednesday trying to board a plane at jfk that would take him to turkey and eventually syria. a new york travel agent who did not want to be identified booked the flight. >> i'm totally shocked right now. my hand are still shaking. >> reporter: it began after the fbi discovered online postings of one of the suspects on a known isis website. i am in usa now he wrote but is it possible to commit ourselves as dedicated martyrs while here to shoot obama and then get shot ourselves? >> the isis capability on social media is nothing short of remarkable. >> reporter: on the day of arrest the fbi director provided evidence of just how real the threat of home grown radicals really is. >> those people exist in every state. >> reporter: and the past year

alone, 22 people have been arrested trying to travel to join isis. despite the fact that it beheads victims and sets people afire. they just don't understand the lure. >> chilling absolutely chilling all right, pierre thank you. to the weather and that southern storm moving to the mid-atlantic dumping nearly a foot of snow creating dangerous morning commutes while another bitter cold palace moves into the northeast. our rob marciano is in for ginger going to be tracking all this. good morning. >> good morning, robin. you said it southern snow the end of february. hard to believe these numbers in many cases record-setting. nearly a foot in grant alabama. troy mississippi, 9.5, huntsville alabama, 8.1. the snowiest on record. more snow across richmond and in d.c. a messy commute for the washington, d.c. area. could see another couple of inches before this is done and another cold blast behind this as we get towards friday and saturday. single numbers in detroit and boston as we get towards saturday morning. so cold this winter yeah some

nearly 29,000 deaths in the u.s. every year. dr. richard besser here with more and, rich the bug is called c-diff. what do we know about where it comes from and what we can do about it. >> the most common infection picked up in hospitals and the thing about this infection is you can pick it up and it causes no problems then you take an antibiotic and it takes over and can cause severe infection and diarrhea and in 29,000 people it can be deadly. >> talk about had link between c-diff and antibiotics. >> this bacteria lives in the environment and we have good bacteria that provide protection. when you take an antibiotic it kills off those bacteria and allows the dangerous germ to take over and cause these very severe infections. >> how do we prevent the spread? >> one thing they found not all are being picked up in the hospital. 0% who don't get it in the hospital have recently visited a doctor's or dentist's office and lives on surfaces. it's not killed by alcohol sanitizer. you have to use soap and water. so use that soap and water and

doctors need to be careful about prescribing those drugs. >> once you get it you have to be careful about taking any antibiotics at all. >> very careful. >> okay rich besser thanks very much. now to an urgent warning about safety in the skies. united airlines sending an unusually blunt message to its pilots alerting them after several serious incidents caused by errors in the cockpit and david kerley has the latest and joins us from reagan national airport. good morning, david. >> good morning, robin. you're right. blunt and very straightforward. a warning to united continental pilots that a series of incidents required immediate communication, a memo, a safety warning. united airlines issued this stern warning to pilots after mistakes in the cockpit put passengers in potential danger. a spate of what were called safety events and near-misses. the memo seen by abc news and first reported by "the wall street journal" says one crew had to make an emergency pull-up to quote, avoid crashing into the ground. another crew landed with fuel below the minimum reserves.

the note sent out early last month admitted it is brutally honest and points out that all the incidents were preventible. it also mentions this crash. this wide body u.p.s. jet. of a u.p.s. jet in birmingham alabama, in which the crew didn't realize it was too low. the united safety officials saying everything appeared normal on that flight until just before impact at the airport. this as we learn southwest airlines which missed an inspection of a backup system on a fifth of its fleet has now quickly looked at two-thirds of those planes. >> every major airline has lapses at times. it's whether they have a system that will catch it in time is the pose important question and here that's the way it worked. >> reporter: now the united officials mention that because of the merger a null of pilots are moving into other aircraft and need to be vigilant and also this generational shift that's taking place. older pilots retiring newer pilots coming in and really need to be careful and, robin, that's an issue for the entire aviation
