experience. >> reporter: munoz apologized again for the violent removal of dr. david dao to make room for a flight crew three weeks ago. >> no customer, no individual should ever be treated the way mr. d apartmentao was, ever. >> reporter: munoz was joined by representatives from american, alaska and southwest airlines. they face criticism over these videos. members complained about shrinking seats, fees and overcrowded planes. >> when you take my reservation, i expect for you to honor that. >> reporter: joining a republican, woodall. the airlines have announced a number of promises including a promise not to bump seated

republican committee chair bill shuster. >> seize this opportunity, because if you don't, we're going to come. and you're not going to like it. >> they're warning travelers to expect more trouble in the skies, and it's got nothing to do with the airlines. there is a spike in clear air turbulence. >> reporter: for nervous flyers, nothing about this research is reassuring. clear air turbulence strikes without warning, and because of climate change could get worse. the sudden drop came without warning. anyone not strapped down was shot toward the ceiling then slammed against the aircraft floor. video of the aftermath shows the plane scattered with debris. severe sunshi severe turbulence can be terrifying for unsuspecting passengers as it was in this plane bound for gentleman carja

kinds of turbulence, but even airplanes have a breaking point. >> assuming this, again, the thesis is right, how nervous will air carriers be about the integrity of their planes? >> the integrity of the airplanes is something that will have be to checked as this happens. they don't have infinite lives. they have some limit. and if we see more turbulence, that's going to be drawn in closer. >> reporter: last year, the faa investigated 44 injuries connected to turbulence. that was up more than double from the year before. heads continue to roll at fox news over the widening sexual harassment scandal. jericka duncan reports. >> reporter: for years bill shine was the right hand man of roger ailes who was forced out in july amid sexual harassment allegations. now some have said that shine enabled that kind of misconduct

the greatest show on earth will soon be folding its tent for the final time. the ringling brothers and barnum and bailey circus has been entertaining kids for nearly 150 years. but the crowds have been shrinking for years. and the final performance will take place on may 21st outside new york city. >> ladies and gentlemen! children of all ages! welcome to the greatest show on earth! ♪ >> reporter: it is a py rettbold claim. the greatest show on earth. the ringling brothers and barnum and bailey had every reason

brag. ♪ there was a time when there really was nothing else like it. ringling had a dizzying array of performers risking life and limb alongside a menagerie of exotic animals from far away lands. ♪ >> reporter: after 146 years, all the thrills are still there. but the wonder seems to have faded. >> ladies and gentlemen! >> reporter: ringling's ringmaster, jonathan lee iverson laments that today when kids go looking for the greatest show on earth, many go looking for it on their smartphones instead. >> more and more unfortunately, we're becoming a society that really doesn't embrace wonder anymore. >> are you ready my friends? >> wonder that we offer you can't find it on

you can't find it on youtube. you have to engage. you have to be there, you have to be present, and it takes relating to others, not like yourself. that's how this has been made. >> reporter: a fact of modern life that brought the mighty big top to its knees. >> without a doubt, it was the toughest business decision that we've made. and we made it together as a family. >> reporter: kenneth feld is ceo of feld entertainment. his dad irvin feld bought the circus for $8 million back in 1967. they were caretakers of a slice of mer kauna and a home for a unique home for a community that wanted to dazzle outweighed just about everything else. >> the love is for the institution, but the greater love is for the people that make up that institution. and that's the difficult part. >> reporter: feld grew up with sawdust in his veins, and so

they even performed with the ringling clowns on occasion. >> did you ever get that itch to perform yourself? >> i went to circus camp for a little while. i was in a roller skating act where i lit a match on the floor with my teeth. >> reporter: can you still do that? >> i don't know that i would want to try at this point. >> reporter: over the years, the feld sisters tried to help their father infuse the circus with 21st century sensibilities while still keeping the show's 19th century traditions in tact. but it was a balancing act that in the end just didn't balance their bottom line. >> the economic model didn't work anymore. and we don't want to compromise what is the greatest show on earth. you know, it's still really hard. and it's emotional for sure. >> reporter: ra

is where it started. their name is still here everywhere. as is the country's largest circus museum, circus world. it was five ringling brothers, who pitched their first tent in 1884 and began carting their variety act and wagons all around the midwest. eventually, they were big enough to buy their biggest competitor, the barnum & bailey circus. and the combined shows brought amusement right to main street usa. it was a heralded event. at each stop, both man and beast would be unloaded. and within hours, a vacant lot was turned into a canvas city. how many people would the big top seat? >> 12,000. >> reporter:12,000. really? howard dibbles what so blown away he spent much of his 81 years recreatingha

we get to tell people that. and people go, yeah, yeah, oh, you did? you really did run away and join the circus? >> reporter: karen and greg became part of a traveling troupe of clowns for ringling. they actually met at clown college. in fact, greg was a teacher there. he now runs the international clown hall of fame in baraboo. >> reporter: is it as romantic a life as it sounds. >> definitely, well, i think it's morrow me romantic now. >> in hindsight. >> it is. it's like a lifestyle. >> reporter: a lifestyle that took them through america's back yards in their teeny home on the rails. >> like you wouldn't fit in it. >> no, it was six feet long, three feet wide and mean feet tall. so it was a closet with a door. >> reporter: size didn't matter, though. melting pots with the circus, language and customs all blended with the symphony of animals thatve

them. >> elephants were in the room right next to my first train car. the elephant car was the next one over. so i'd lay out. their trunks would come out, they'd sway. i'd feed them. try to reach over and give them treats and they'd reach over too. a baby tiger used to live on our car. and it would run up and down the hallway. baby bengal tiger. >> reporter: the animals, especially those elephants had always been ringling's biggest draw. they were also its achilles heel. animal rights advocates had long protested forcing wild animals to perform for entertainment. weld spent years fighting accusations of abuse and won settlements. nevertheless. they packed in their famous pachyderms last year, and that was the beginning of the end. >> when we made the decision to take the elephants off the road

ticket sales and attendance way beyond what we anticipated. >> reporter: how much? >> it was substantial. >> reporter: without the circus, feld entertainment still has plenty of entertaining to do. it brings us disney on ice and monster truck jam too, just to name a few. >> the circus lives in a lot of places besides the circus. like in the mud. exactly. >> reporter: there are, of course, other circuses. lots of them, in fact. but there will never be another ringling. >> did you know, i was thinking the other day, man, you're going to be the last voice any of these circus fans will ever hear. wow. you know. i mean, i'm holding on to that. i sort of believe like dr. seuss, you know, don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. >> farewell fromhe

operating business in the uk. but after centuries and centuries, the company that produced the bells for westminster abbey as well as big ben. >> big ben isn't the clock. >> reporter: it's the bell. >> reporter: the white chapel bell foundry has cast its last. >> we don't need bells. they were needed in the sense that they were the way of communicating basic information to what was then a largely illiterate population. they warned you of invading armies. they actually served a practical purpose. so bells are used today because we like them, not because we need them. >> reporter: even if demand was higher, the foundry is located smack in the middle of one of london's hottest neighborhoods. that's another rule of modern life. prime real estate tops history. and it won't be just the brits losing a connection with

history. we will too. >> the first liberty bell was cast there. exactly where we are sitting. >> reporter: not exactly the liberty bell they line up to sigh in philadelphia, but the grandfather to it, the first one cast and later melted down to pour the second and third. >> so the metal that is in the present bell is largely the metal that was poured here, beneath our feet in a pit. >> reporter: but, if you think the end of a 500 year old era is making alan hughes emotional, well, that wouldn't be very british now, would it? >> i suspect that when this workshop is empty, on that occasion, i am entitled to feel something. >> reporter: even a stiff upper lip would waver a touch. >> i anticipate that will be the case. >> reporter: what are you going to do in your retirement? >> the first week of my

the president, frustrated by a congress that can't, or won't, pass his agenda suggested that the government should be shut down and the rules of the senate changed. congress passed a spending bill that includes no money for the border wall, less than half the funds president trump wanted for the military and gives the money to planned parenthood which the president vowed to cut. also his second try at repealing obama care looked shaky today with more republicans defecting. but he declared victory on the budget and claimed false lay that it includes money for the wall. he said we're putting up a lot of new wall in certain areas. border security did get a boost, but the wall is specifically excluded by congress.

love can make us do strange things, but we found in court documents the story of a fbi translator who married an isis terrorist. dean reynolds has this. >> reporter: he is known in syria by the name abu talha. or in germany, a rapper. but in this country, he's individual a, a recruiter for isis. his calls for more attacks, which included threats against president obama as well as a beheading were enough to prompt a federal investigation into his activities. fbi translator, daniella green from the bureau's detroit office was part of the team tracking him. she accessed three skype accounts but provided only two to the fbi. the third was hers alone. >> six months later, on june 11,

2014, according to court documents, green, a german speaker told her bosses she was leaving for a vacation in europe, but she really went to see him in syria where the two were married on june 27th of that year. >> i have not seen a similar case in the counter terrorism context. >> reporter: peter trumbor is an associate professor. at oakland university and an expert on terror groups. he says her stay with isis was remarkable, given that cusper knew she worked for the fbi. >> she could have easily wound up dead, right? >> that would be the expectation, the thought. >> reporter: especially because 11 days after her wedding the bride was expressing serious doubts. i was weak, she said in an e-mail to an unidentified person in the u.s., and i didn't know how to handle anything anymore. i really made a mess of things this time. somehow she escaped from isis in syria, knowing she'd be arrested upon return to the states on august 6th.

she served two years in prison for lying to the fbi. >> there's some embarrassment there. but the information she could have potentially brought back to meet with people relative i have senior in the organization, i think that's really valuable information. >> reporter: to the best of the authorities' knowledge, cusper is still alive, while daniella green was released from prison last summer. and so far, she has declined to speak publicly about her case. dean reynolds, thanks. up next, jimmy kimmel. makes a serious point about health care in america. life looks great with tampax pearl. you get ultimate protection on your heaviest days and smooth removal for your lightest.

>> seize this opportunity, because if you don't, we're going to come. and you're not going to like it. scientists are warning travelers to ex-pepect more troe in the skies, and it's got nothing to do with the airlines. there is a spike in clear air turbulence. >> reporter: for nervous flyers, nothing about this research is reassuring. clear air turbulence strikes without warning, and because of climate change could get worse. the sudden drop came without warning. anyone not strapped down was shot toward the ceiling then slammed against the aircraft floor. video of the aftermath shows the plane scattered with debris. severe turbulence can be terrifying for unsuspecting passengers as it was in this plane bound for jakarta last year. unlike cnt

that occurs when planes fly near weather systems, clear air turbulence happens without the presence of clouds. making it nearly impossible for pilots to detect until it's too late. dr. paul williams is an atmospheric scientist at the university of redding in england. >> we've calculated that the amount of severe turbulence, which is enough to hospitalize people could double or triple by the end of this century on trans-atlantic flight routes because of climate change. >> reporter: according to researchers, rising carbon dioxide levels could destabilize the fast-moving air currents of the trans-atlantic jet stream, an area that currently sees up to 3,000 flights a day. think predict a 149% spike in air turbulence, along with longer travel times, more delays and higher ticket prices. >> it's very distressing for pilot pilots precisely, because they have no indication or

turbulence is sitting out there and the plane is about to hit it. >> reporter: aerospace engineer pat anderson took us inside a flight simulator to give us the pilot's perspective. >> very manageable. the auto pilot can fly the plane at this point. >> reporter: moderate turbulence. >> about 50%. >> reporter: how much more significant from light turbulence? >> things can slide off your table. a little more uncomfortable. >> reporter: severe turbulence. >> by definition, the pilot is challenged in trying to fly the airplane. the pilot's doing things to mitigate that turbulence, by trying to get out of it. >> reporter: with extreme turbulence, what's going on? >> when you get to the point of saying extreme, you're worried about being in a situation where you're in jeopardy. it's a test of his ability to adapt. >> it is. the pilot -- there goes the gopro. >> reporter: severe turbulence just cost us

modern airliners are designed to withstand all kinds of turbulence, but even modern airplanes have a breaking point. >> assuming this, again, the thesis is right, how nervous will air carriers be about the integrity of their planes? >> the integrity of the airplanes is something that will have be to checked as this happens. they don't have infinite lives. they have some limit. and if we see more turbulence, that's going to be drawn in closer. >> reporter: for americans who fly, turbulence poses the greatest injury risk. last year, the faa investigated 44 injuries kwekted to turbulence. that was up more than double from the year before. heads continue to roll at fox news over the widening sexual harassment scandal. jericka duncan reports. >> reporter: for years bill shine was the right hand man of roger ailes who was forced out in july amid sexual harassment allegations. now some have said that shine enabled that kind of misconduct at fox. it's an accusation that shine had denied.
