what's that sound? >> in the 1983 movie "the right stuff," a classic, sam shepherd played chuck yeager who flew faster than the speed of sound. they celebrated the 70th anniversary in california. 94-year-old chuck yeager was there to commemorate the event. >> wow. nasa engineers are working to bring supersonic aviation. jeff glor returns with a story you will see only on "cbs this morning." good morning. >> charlie, good morning to you. the only passenger plane that flew faster than sound was the concorde back

'80ings, and '90s. it was only allowed to do that over the ocean because the sound effect is damaging and unsettling. today nasa is working to lower the boom so airlines can quietly cut the sound and achieve those speeds 70 years after chuck yeager's achievements. >> i heard the sonic boom, and we knew right there that he had brought in a new air force, a new supersonic air force. >> reporter: bob cardenas blue the b 29 bomber that dropped chuck yeager's x1 out of the sky and into the history books. >> once we could go beyond the speed of sound, it was the gateway to space. >> reporter: that mow meantous event 70 years ago did lead to space travel but not supersonic commercial airve

three-hour trip. >> reporter: until it's done, it falls to test pilots like nils larson. to do that larson has to execute a complicated amount of contortions. >> we're going to roll inverted, pull down do 53 degrees nose low, roll out and start a dive pullout to about 3.5 gs. >> sounds easy. >> yeah. it's not that hard. >> reporter: on this day, larson has a new co-pilot. >> starting to look like he's fixing to go flying. >> i need the nils shades. >> reporter: in a mission to show us how low the sonic boom can go. >> in this first round we're going to go up to about 35,000 beam. >> you're giving them the normal boom. >> right. this is the normal boom that most airplanes out there would produce today. >> reporter: back

ground, herring and his microphones are listening and collecting data. >> that's supersonic. >> supersonic right now. >> so we've just completed the normal boom. we're about to try the low sonic booms. >> reporter: but to execute the low boom maneuver, larson must first climb to 49,000 feet. >> so when he in verted and went down and came back up. >> yep. that's exactly it. >> reporter: a few seconds later, back on the ground. herring's information showed a reduction. back then it was obviously a huge deal to go supersonic. now we do it daily. i'm still part of that team going out there doing supersonic research, so that's

like this to get more data and feedback. nasa will use that in the newly designed planes when they start flying. unlike our flight, that plane will not have to go inverteted a 49,000 feet and then dive straight down. it will create a low boom by flying level and very, very fast. >> compare this to nothing experience you've done in the past. >> nothing like it. nothing like it. just because you're at 49,000 feet and we're spinning over and then you're diving straight down 20,000 feet in 15 seconds or so. >> better you than me. >> and coming straight back up that i'm so jealous, so jealous. >> next time. >> great piece. >> love it. love it. all right. ahead, this morning's other headlines, a tumble that left ed sheeran injured. and how to

the national association of chain drugstores. since the crackdown, they've hired at least 46 investigators, ttorney, and supervisors from the dea including 32 directly from the division that regulates the drug industry. mike gill, chief of staff for the dea administrator was hired by hdjn, one of the country's largest health care law firms and most recently jason hadges overseeing it during the slowdown of the d.c.-based law firm. he declined to speak with us. >> marino and blackburn did not respond to our request for comment. marino is now a nominee of president trump for drug czar.

tools at our disposal to fight the epidemic. the health alurns said the report presented, quote, a misleading picture and says distributors are strongly committed to finding systemic findings. >> he joins us from washington. good morning, lenny. an incredible piece in the post and on "60 minutes" last night to read the whole thing. you talked to former dea agents including jim geldof who was a 40-year dea veteran who said this was a busy plan. are these drug drirkts complicit in this epidemic? >> well, they certainly have been caught numerous times over and over and over again, not reporting suspicious orders of these opioid pain pills from doctors and pharmacies. that is the la

they must report them to the dea and say, hmm, this guy order 20d,000 pills last month. now he wants 100,000 pills. we're a little worried about that. over and over again they did not do that, and those pills found their way into the hands of users and dealers. >> the question becomes why did that know report it, right? >> right. is it because they want to make money? is it because it's too difficult for them to keep track of all these pills? is it because they just were not geared up to do this kind of due diligence? it doesn't really matteret the law is the law. i can't just not report my taxes because i have some reason that prohibits me from doing my taxes. they've got to do it. find a way to do it. if those pills spill out onto the street by hundreds of millions, it's their responsibility. >> what was the argument that made that happen? >> the argument that made that happen, the argument that

that legitimate painkiller users were not getting their drugs in a legitimate manner. they said, well,'ve good all these folks out there who do need these pills and they're not able to get them when they need them because the dea is out of control, because the dea is cracking down so hard on these distributors that folks are not getting their drugs. well, there's nothing in the law that actually changes that at all and the evidence for that was actually sort of anecdotal. where was the evidence that these pills were ending up in the hands of dealers and users was quite substantial. >> lenny, the dea said only a small minute amount is involved in the misappropriation of these drugs. how impactful is t

>> it is true. the impact one single pharmacy can have is important. as we report and you at "60 minutes" reported, you had a single pharmacy in west virginia that put millions of pills on the street in a town of seven hundred people. there were two pharmacies in sanford, florida, in the time frame before 2012 that put millions of pills on the street by themselves. they come from far and wide from app lash ya, florida, and ohio, and they get those pills. if you have a rogue doctor or pharmacist, the impact is enormous. >> what's been the response to the piece on "60 minutes" on sunday night and the legal focus on sunday. >> we heard from the dea. you heard the statement you guys referenced at the beginning of this segment. you heard from the drug dealers who say it's true but
