good morning, america. breaking news, north korea launching a new ballistic missile. its third test in just three weeks sending a short-range scud missile flying hundreds of miles sparking new fears overnight. jared kushner under fire. the president's son-in-law and top adviser facing major questions about trying to set up a secret back channel to communicate with russia. >> it's both normal in my opinion and acceptable. >> the white house defending him. the president praising his son-in-law saying he's, quote, a very good person. but now reports a white house shake-up may be coming. caught on camera, water park accident. a 10-year-old boy rocketing down this three-story waterslide flying over the edge skidding on the concrete but able to walk

away. the brand-new slide shut down the accident now investigation. the driver going airborne at the indy 500. a violent crash sending his car flying, flames shooting out disintegrating into pieces. how the driver walked away from this wreck. all right, good morning, america. what a scary crash at the indy 500. both scott dixon and jay howard, they're both lucky to walk away without serious injuries and the safety technology really pays off. >> hopefully that's not happening on the roadways today because millions are traveling on this memorial day. rain in the northeast and ginger will have more on how your weather will impact your commute. >> it's memorial day. this morning we're honoring those who fought for this

country. take a live look at arlington national cemetery. president trump will lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier there later this morning. >> we will have much more on the day's events. first breaking news out of north korea launching a ballistic missile test and abc's bob woodruff was on the border a few hours ago and joins us with the latest. >> reporter: yes, this was launched early this morning, north korea time, it's the ninth ballistic missile test carried out by kim jong-un this year alone. now, today it was a short-range scud missile launched from a site near north korea's east coast. it was tracked by the u.s. pacific command as it flew about 250 miles for about six minutes before hitting the sea between korea and japan. now, today japan's prime minister called these launches retreated provocations and that they are unacceptable. china, north korea's only ally, is certainly getting more frustrated. all this week we drove along the

800-mile chinese border with north korea and stopped and searched by military officials several times. now, president trump has not indicated what he will do next. his defense secretary expressing his continued concerns. >> the bottom line is it would be a catastrophic war if this turns into combat. it is a direct threat to the united states. they have been very clear in their rhetoric. >> reporter: the fact is kim jong-un is improving his weapon technology and he has now launched three missiles in about three weeks. amy. >> all right, bob woodruff, thank you. dan. this memorial day is a busy one in washington. president trump will lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier at arlington national cemetery, his public appearance since his overseas trip and angela merkel is saying germany cannot rely on the u.s. like it used to. the president facing reports of

a possible staff shake-up and major questions about his white house focusing on jared kushner's relations with russia. our congressional correspondent mary bruce is at the white house with much more. good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, good morning. after more than a week abroad president trump is now back home here at the white house and back in damage control mode and this morning his administration is fighting back. president trump arriving back at the white house and back into the center of the russia crisis. >> mr. president, did jared kushner try to set up a back channel with the russians? >> reporter: jared kushner, his wife, ivanka, spotted sunday with a private lawyer the president hired to handle the russia investigation. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: kushner is not a target of the investigation, but questions are mounting over why he tried to set up a secret communications channel with moscow, even after intelligence agencies concluded russia tried to interfere in the election. and now some in the president's inner circle are quietly

wondering if it might be time for kushner to take a leave of absence but overnight president trump himself defending kushner in a statement to "the new york times" saying jared is doing a great job for the country. i have total confidence in him. the administration insists he did nothing wrong. >> it's both normal in my opinion and acceptable. >> reporter: sources say any back channel would have been used to communicate about syria and other policy matters. >> any way that you can communicate with people, particularly organizations that are maybe not particularly friendly to us, is a good thing. >> reporter: but that's not how democrats see it. the ranking member of the house intelligence committee says kushner's security clearance should be reviewed. >> i think we need to get to the bottom of these allegations but i do think there ought to be a review of his security clearance to find out whether he was truthful, whether he was candid, if not, then there's no way he can maintain that kind of a clearance. >> reporter: and this morning the white house is considering a

change in strategy possibly shaking up the communications team, maybe even holding fewer press briefings and they're working to develop a rapid response team to push back against this constant onslaught of russia stories. now, as for kushner for now the president is standing by him. amy. >> all right, mary bruce in washington, thanks. let's bring in kristen soltis anderson. kristen, first of all, let's talk about the overseas trip, the first overseas trip for president trump. some praise, some criticism. how do you think he did with middle eastern leaders, european leaders? >> reporter: with middle eastern leaders that first half of the trip i think it was a pretty big success. he gave a speech imploring -- calling on these leaders to step up their work in terms of fighting radicalism within islam, great portion of the visit to israel. when we move to europe, however, that's when things got a little bit dicey. in europe nato allies expected the president to stand up and say that he would defend them,

he would stand by article 5 commitments under nato. that means if any of those european allies get attacked we will defend them. so that's where some of our allies left a little shaky about where america stands on defending the world. >> angela merkel very vocal about that. jared kushner under scrutiny now for setting up back channel communications with russia. among all the other allegations about trump and russia where does this fall? >> this one begins to tie together a few different threads. with the investigations into trump and russia, there are a million different angles to the story, whether it's about leaks, whether it's about tax returns, this is one that really begins to more closely tie together allegations about trump's family business and trump's family matters to the russia story. now, we've heard many times there will be shake-ups in the white house, many of them not really ever coming to fruition. kushner is a unique situation.

unlike anybody else who is just staff who you can ultimately fire he is married to i.d. trump, a big asset to the administration. someone who goes out on the road with the president a lot so kushner can in a unique position and much closer to the president than most staff. >> we will be following this very closely as well. kristen soltis anderson, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> dan. so much going on in washington but we are going to turn now to a deadly attack on a train in portland, oregon. two good samaritans were killed when they rushed in to stop a man hurling insults at muslim women, the suspect, jeremy christian, facing multiple murder charges and linsey davis is here with the story. >> reporter: this took place during the holiest time of the year for muslims on the first day of ramadan and today the victims are being hailed as heroes stepping in to protect those two muslim girls being targeted by hate speech. this morning, new details on the shocking stabbings of three good samaritans who came to the aid of young women being harassed on a portland train.

>> started stabbing people and it was just blood everywhere and we just started running for our lives. >> reporter: destiny was sitting with a muslim friend wearing a hijab when jeremy christian went on an anti-muslim tirade friday afternoon. three men stepped in to calm him down. >> he told us to go back to saudi arabia and to get out of his country. this white male from the back of us came and he was like, you can't disrespect these young ladies. then they just all started arguing. >> reporter: police say that's when christian stabbed all three. 23-year-old taliesin myrddin namkai-meche and 53-year-old army veteran ricky best were killed, the third man, micah fletcher hospitalized in serious condition giving a thumb's up from his hospital bed. >> they lost their lives because of me and my friend and the way we looked and i just want to say thank you to them and their

family and that i appreciate them. without them we probably would be dead right now. >> reporter: police say christian has a known criminal history and extremist views. abc affiliate katu on tanked this video of a man appearing to be christian yelling profanities and hate speech on the train just one day before the attack. >> oh, it's like we got a christian or muslim [ bleep ] bus driver, i'll stab you too. >> more than a million dollars has been raised for the victims of this attack on various websites. the fbi has not indicated whether friday's slayings qualify as a federal hate crime. christian will be in court tomorrow. horrific. >> horrifying story. >> absolutely. thank you, linsey. we'll turn now to those memorial day storms as millions hit the roads and sky there's severe weather across the south, in the northeast and right to ginger who has been tracking it all. good morning, ginger. >> good morning. one of the busiest severe weather outbreaks we've seen for the whole season stretching from colorado to virginia.

british airways computer glitch. the airlines saying a power outage triggered an i.t. system failure that rippled across the globe. passengers stranded in airports from los angeles and singapore to london and rome. about 1100 flights canceled or delayed. b.a.'s planes parked tip to tip this weekend and outside the terminal hundreds camped out. as bad as it is here, an officer at the entrance told me that inside pure bedlam. it's hot and even more crowded. with lines to nowhere, passengers bedding down right next to their bags. >> stopped here overnight on the floor but i got to get home. >> reporter: when they woke up more lines. >> this is an epic fail by british airways. it's a failure to invest in proper computer systems. it's a failure to have a disaster response team. >> reporter: in the u.s. those systems seem to be holding with nearly 3 million taking to the skies this memorial day but americans can expect even busier

lines at airports this summer with more than 234 million passengers expected to fly. now, analysts are telling us this exposes major vulnerabilities for all airlines including american airlines that haven't updated their computer systems. if a single power outage do this what could hackers or a cyberattack do? >> we're learning a laptop ban on all international flights is more than likely. >> reporter: that's right. homeland secretary john kelly saying the administration terror considering it saying terrorists are obsessed with bringing down especially an american flight midair. this ban would apply to every flight coming in and out of the united states. folks would be forbidden from carrying on laptop or larger electronic devices and could cause major headaches. >> thank you very much. amy. >> and on this memorial day, authorities are investigating what caused a navy s.e.a.l.'s parachute to malfunction during a stunt. it happened near the statue of

liberty. he was able to cut himself loose from the chute which you see falling to the ground there. he was sent free-falling into the hudson river nearby. but, unfortunately, he later died from his injuries. he was part of an elite navy skydiving team known as the leap frogs taking part in an air show. they said the s.e.a.l. community has lost a true patriot indeed. our hearts go out to his friends and family. >> my dad was a paratrooper so my heart goes out to his family. two drivers were lucky to walk away from this. on lap 53 jay howard loses control and hits the outer wall then swerves back into traffic when he couldn't control his car. that's when scott dixon comes in, hits howard's car and goes airborne. crashing into the infield fence as you can see. his car torn to this reds but

straight over the edge sending him tumbling across the concrete. that terrifying moment caught on camera just 90 minutes after the member rald plunge slide opened on saturday in dublin, california. >> i would be worried about those two slides because they're steep. >> reporter: the boy who was taken to the hospital and later released walking away with just scrapes and bruises and this morning, the three-story slide which was immediately shut down after the incident remains closed along with two other slides at this $43 million water park called the wave. >> our thoughts are with the family that had this experience and we don't certainly want to have that repeated so we'll do everything to make sure it doesn't happen again. >> reporter: water parks aren't regulated by the federal government. more than 4200 people are taken to the hospital after suffering injuries on public waterslides every year. since 2010, 29 deaths on amusement rides or waterslides have been reported to the u.s. consumer product safety

commission. >> there are no two states that regulate amusement rides and water park rides the same way. in some cases it is beware of what you do. >> reporter: last august 10-year-old caleb schwab was killed while riding the world's tallest water slide at the schlitterbahn water park in kansas city. caleb's family speaking to abc news after settling a lawsuit with the park for a reported $20 million. >> it's an accident, but there's an accounting because someone was negligent. >> reporter: in california this morning officials for the city owned park telling abc news the ride's contractor and manufacturer are investigating the cause of the accident. and the manufacturer of the slide telling abc news they're thankful the 10-year-old walked away without any serious injuries and now working closely with the team at the park while both of those high-speed slides have been shut down pending this investigation. amy. >> all right, kayna, thank you, so glad he's okay. remarkable he's okay. >> lucky boy. we turn to a mystery at sea.

a mom from florida vanished after her husband said they got into some sort of boating accident near the bahamas. the coast guard frantically searched for the missing woman florida, were celebrating their recent marriage by sailing the caribbean. that's when he says there was a terrible accident. he was rescued and she wasn't. now the fbi is checking out his story. this morning, the fbi investigating the mysterious disappearance of florida mother isabella hellman who vanished while on a sailing trip with her husband lewis bennett, the newlyweds setting off from cuba, the evening of may 14th but at 1:30 a.m. the coast guard getting a distress signal from the couple's boat. >> the initial report we had was that the catamaran vessel struck an unknown submerged object and gadge taking on water. >> reporter: three hours later they spot the overturned boat discovering bennett 1,000 yards

away in a life raft but no sign of his wife and the mother of their 9-month-old daughter. bennett telling authorities he last saw hellman at 8:00 p.m. she was piloting the catamaran wearing a life vest. he was going below deck to sleep. he says he woke up when the boat hit something. >> at that point mr. bennett investigated, looked for his wife, abandoned the vessel into a life raft and then called for assistance. >> reporter: the coast guard scouring nearly 7,000 square miles of ocean, but calling off the search after three days and calling in the fbi. >> many times when people present a story, the coast guard and the fbi then will go and look and see does the story match the reality, the damage to the boat, the timing when it allegedly occurred. they'll see if that fact pattern can even be corroborated. >> reporter: the family of isabella hellman have declined to comment. so has the fbi. this is just a preliminary investigation at the moment.

the fbi will then decide if it needs to be a full-blown criminal investigation but bennett last said he was headed to cuba to try to search for his wife on his own. >> we appreciate it. thanks so much. coming up next in two minutes our safety alert about fire extinguishers. do you really know how to use yours and where it is? our eye-opening experiment next.

we are back now with an alert about fire extinguishers, not knowing how to use your organization how old yours is to put your entire family at risk and we want to stress no matter how small the fire you should always call the fire department first. abc's gio benitez has a closer look at what you should do. >> reporter: we're in morris township, new jersey, going door to door with the local fire department making sure residents and their fire extinguishers are good to go in the event of a blaze. >> i'm gio.

we're with "good morning america." while everyone we meet does have a fire extinguisher. you have it right here by the door. you know exactly where it is. >> just having one isn't always enough and now we're putting residents to the test. first up, expiration dates. experts say you need to replace an extinguisher every ten years. here's why. ron has a perfectly good extinguisher in his kitchen but out in his garage. look at that. this one is in the red. when is the last time you checked this one. >> i don't know. >> is this possible? 1981? >> yes. >> reporter: that's right. his extinguisher is 36 years old. >> you want to test it out. outside our fire team setting up a controlled blaze and squeezes the handle but its pressure gone. >> nothing. >> didn't work. >> now when you look at that and you think, oh, boy, if there was a fire -- >> oh, yeah, in the garage, oh, yeah. >> you'd be in trouble. >> very much so. >> reporter: 1981.

unlike a bottle of wine it doesn't get better with age. also crucial location. experts say fire extinguishers need to be easily accessible. definitely not under the kitchen sink where we found meredith kimmel's. >> here it is under the sink. >> under the sink. >> reporter: in the event of a kitchen fire chief jesse carr says you might never get to it. >> you want it away from the stove. we realize the safety pin is missing compromising its integrity and place a brand-new one close to an exit a safe distance from any harmful flames. down the block we meet dana, mother of two. hers also under the sink. but her issue, she admits she doesn't know how to use it. >> let's test it. sure enough when the heat is on, she doesn't pull the pin wasting valuable time. >> i don't even know how to. >> reporter: after 20 critical seconds she finally figuring it

out. >> it was hairy there for a second because you didn't know how to use it. you didn't know you had to pull the pin out first. there is an simple acronym. p.a.s.s., pull the pin, you'll aim, you'll squeeze and you're going to sweep at the base of the fire. but if you're not comfortable or can't put it out in 30 seconds or less just get out. so don't try to be the hero. >> do not try to be the hero. let the fire department handle it. they're equipped and trained to handle larger fires. >> going home with two. equipping all our families with two brand-new fire extinguisher, one suited to tackle small fires in your home. you got a new extinguisher. >> how do you like that. >> reporter: for "good morning america," gio benitez, abc news, morris township, new jersey. >> our thanks to gio. all very important reminders and advice. michael, over to you. big board. >> thank you, amy. you know what, the first unofficial day of summer which means you'll be outdoors. if you're outdoors there's something about ticks you should

really flourish. >> it just didn't kill them off. >> and allows them to grow, the life cycle to continue and the other reason is while we always think of them attaching to deer they actually love the white footed mouse so the white footed mouse population has grown a lot so we have more hosts for the ticks and now we have more ticks to worry about for diseases tt not fond of. >> happy monday. >> but tre potentially deadly virus. tell us about that. >> it's been getting a luptick pun intended in the tick population, which is actually a virus, not a bacteria like lyme which makes it difficult to treat. good and bad news. the bad news like i said very hard to treat and very serious, can create long-term neuroloc b 5 in 10% o is terrible. good news, ver last ten years.

brya positive breast cancer from ever occurring? we know there are some cells going down the path of becoming cancerous early on and want to eliminate nature those from everyone who has a brca mutation. >> so that's vaccine, medications and these trials. >> any of the trials. >> reporter: jan says she plans to have her daughters tested after they turn 18 and if they test positive she's hopeful by then a double mastectomy won't be their only option for prevention. >> there could be a vaccine for inherited cancers that kids get when they're around 12 or 13 years old and won't even have to think about any healthy cells turn nothing cancer cells. >> according to heritx, 10 to 20% have it. they say it has the characteristics that will work best against brca-related cancers and anticipate in two

years they'll start clinical trials with people trying out this vaccine. the potential here is transformative and already identified the cells that are problematic. now a matter of how to figure out how to eliminate them before they become cancerous. >> i have chills watching that story. knowing the technology is just so in our favor so thank you so much for bringing us that. we appreciate it. coming up next on "gma" we have hot new gadgets for summer that will keep your kids happy and prevent that summer brain dane. so we know how to cover almost anything. even a coupe soup.
