Would say it is happening to them. Professional Football Players and the accuser tonight is a 65 312pound defensive lineman. He says his teammate, this man, has made his life impossible. It has sparked a giant debate inside football and american homes. Abcs matt gutman now on the latest on this big League Version of a modern american problem. Reporter they are the biggest of men whose job it is to play rough. 63 320pound Richie Incognito of the Miami Dolphins is one of the biggest and baddest out there. He calls himself the beast on twitter, was voted the dirtiest player in the league and today the dolphins suspended him amid accusations that off the field hes a vicious bully. The nfl is going to conduct a review of the workplace and give as an organization our full and complete cooperation with the nfl. Reporter incognitos alleged target . His 300pound teammate, secondyear player, Jonathan Martin, seen on the hbo series, hard knocks. Hey, weirdo. Reporter tonight nfl and Team Officials are investigating whether incognito so tormented martin it forced him to leave the team. A hint of that also caught on hbos hard knocks, bragging about hacking another junior players ipad. You might want to check your facebook, bud. I was going to put something up there rude but then i saw the picture of your girlfriend and i felt bad. Reporter martins treatment may have been far more vicious. Our partners at espn report incognito harassed him with a string of racist voice mails and texting, calling him the n word and saying he would kill him. Martin reportedly reached his breaking point last week when teammates refused to sit with him in the cafeteria. He stormed out, and his team says hes now reportedly in treatment. Presumably hazing has been going on for a long time in the nfl. Why did this particular incidents seem to explode . Because Jonathan Martin spoke up. It makes you wonder how many times guys in the league have been treated like this or similar and not said anything. Reporter Richie Incognito is fighting back, calling the accusations false and tweeting i want my name cleared. Excoaches we spoke with say hazing is one thing but using racial slurs clearly crosses the line. Analysts we spoke to say that if martin does decide to come back to the nfl he wont be met with jeers but, in fact, sympathy for speaking out. A lot of people think that took a lot of courage. Thank you so much, matt gutman. Now we head out west to los angeles and the news on the airport shooter. Tonight there are urgent calls for more security at l. A. X. And airports across the country as investigators are studying a shadowy subculture which may have encouraged a disturbed young man. Abcs david wright with the very latest on the story. Reporter the fbi is fairly convinced paul ciancia was targeting tsa agents but what they dont know is why. We have to get a full understanding of the person who we now have in custody to understand what his motives might have been. Reporter the trouble is they cant even ask him. Hes still unconscious at Ucla Medical Center with a gunshot wound to his head. Today the fbi combed through his apartment for clues and combed through his travel records to see if he ever had a runin with airport security. Abc news knows the last time he traveled abroad was 2006 when he took a trip to japan. Today ciancias family issued their first public statement. We, like most americans, are shocked and numbed by the tragic events of last friday. Reporter but offered no clues to what could have prompted his spree. The tsa has a thankless job, enforcing procedures we all tolerate through gritted teeth. A popular target. No kidding . Who else wants a job groping men, women and children all day. Reporter among some antigovernment activists, the agency embodies a federal government thats too invasive, corrupt and incompetent. Today the u. S. Attorney general took strong exception. No feelings about the government can possibly justify those kinds of actions. Reporter in other words, its no excuse for murder. David wright, abc news, l. A. X. And from the airport shooting to a campus lockdown today. Central Connecticut State University was swarmed by police. A student called 911 to say he had seen a man with a gun. Police say that man may have been wearing a halloween costume. Three people were taken into custody. Students were told to stay in their dorm rooms until the lockdown was lifted. Across america this morning millions of people woke up to some of the coldest weather of the season. Look at the map. The northeast faced temperatures in the teens, 20s and 30s. Vermont had a record low of 14 degrees. Many temperatures 15 degrees below normal and theyll stay that way for another couple of days. Inside this early blast of cold is some good news for american families, big savings on the way for heating up your home and filling up your car. Abcs linzie janis now on how much were going to save. Reporter this weeks cold blast has Many Americans reaching for their coats and their thermostats. Tonight good news, Heating Oil Prices are already 19 cents cheaper than this time last year. Theyre set to go even lower. We could see Heating Oil Prices drop 5 to 15 cents a gallon between now and christmas. Reporter and there is more. Gasoline prices, already about 35 cents lower than they were two months ago, are heading down again. Analysts say the National Average could be 3. 05 by christmas. Already drivers in 34 states are seeing pump prices at some gas stations below 3 bucks a gallon. One reason for the drop . Hurricanes have been virtually nonexistent this year, unlike last year when super storm sandy led to fuel shortages. An even bigger factor . That American Oil Boom like in north dakota where production is up ten fold in just 8 years. The United States right now is brimming with oil. Its certainly helping motorists at the pump. Reporter the average American Family spends around 4,500 a year on gasoline. Lower prices could mean a savings of around 200. Every little bit helps, diane. It sure does. Thank you, linzie janis. Next the start of a new week bringing new trouble for the president and obama care. Its about what the president said and what he knew and when. Abcs chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl has exclusive documents and he went toe to toe with these new questions for the white house. Reporter as the Health Care Website melted down, the president told people there were other options working just fine. You can bypass the website and apply by phone or in person. Reporter a quick call. I want to repeat that. 18003182596. Reporter and voila. It usually takes about 25 minutes for an individual to apply for coverage. Reporter but ten days before the president said those words his own Health Care Team knew that all applications were having the same problems. As one internal memo from the Administrations Health Care war room obtained by abc news reads, the same portal is used to determine eligibility no matter how the application is submitted. At the end of the day we are all stuck in the same queue. Did the president not know that everything needs to go through the same broken website . These memos say that at the end of the day were all stuck in the same queue because they all have to go through the same portal. Jon, i get it, but the person who calls isnt the one who has to wait after the paper application is filled. Your mocking is entertaining but the president said you can apply within 25 minutes. That wasnt true. You call up, you give your information, you get the questions answered that you need answered and they take over from there. Reporter thats not how it worked for georgia resident robert shlorra. We visited him the day the president gave out that phone number. After failing online he tried the hotline. I really have no idea whether or not ill be offered a better plan, whether or not the government will help me subsidize it. Reporter we contacted mr. Shlorra again today. After two weeks and several calls to that hotline he still has not been able to enroll. As for the overall numbers, the white house still wont tell us how many people have enrolled online or over the phone. They say those numbers will be coming in about two weeks. Two weeks, thank you, Jonathan Karl, reporting from the white house. And now here abc gets action on a story we first brought you last week. Workers who embodied the american spirit, coal miners who have labored hard their entire lives have been fighting for benefits. Abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross broke this story. Tonight he tells us what happened next. Brian here with the latest. Brian . Reporter good evening, diane. There may be new hope tonight for hundreds of american coal miners in the wake of our investigation with the center for Public Integrity into why so many were denied black lung benefits despite evidence they had the deadly severe form of that disease. Steve days doctors diagnosed him with black lung. My doctor says my lungs are shot. Reporter doctors at Johns Hopkins hospital, hired by the coal company, rejected the diagnosis and, we found, that of hundreds of other miners, saving the Companies Millions of dollars. The head of the black lung unit at hopkins, dr. Paul wheeler, did not find a single case of severe black lung in available cases we examined since the year 2000, not one. Thats my opinion and i have a perfect right to my opinion. Reporter but we found his opinion has been wrong a lot. Gary fox was denied black lung benefits for ten years after dr. Wheeler read his xray as negative. It was only after foxs death at the age of 58 that an autopsy concluded fox did indeed have black lung. You have a system that for so many miners is rigged against them. Reporter now hopkins has announced it is spending the black lung program while it reviews the findings of our investigation. Id like to see the truth come out. Id like to see the wrongdoers in this system exposed. Reporter steve day and his wife nyoka say they are now hopeful that maybe somebody does care. God help the souls of those who cheat these men. Reporter senator casey says the miners have been denied basic justice, and based on our report there now needs to be accountability from everyone involved in this system. Brian ross still on the case tonight. Thank you, brian. Now girls making babies, the young women, the recruiting for thousands of dollars, an explosive new event in america. What are the consequences tonight. Caught on tape, a runaway horse and the 92yearold Guardian Angel who managed to save a young girl, a long awaited reunion tonight. Its america strong. Were back in just two minutes. We went out and asked people a simple question how old is the oldest person youve known . We gave people a sticker and had them show us. We learned a lot of us have known someone whos lived well into their 90s. And thats a great thing. But even though were living longer, one thing that hasnt changed much is the official retirement age. The question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years.

And next tonight a giant experiment has been under way in america. In the last ten years there has been a huge 74 percent rise in young women donating their eggs so that strangers can have babies and a lot of them were recruited because theyre well educated or because of the way they look. So we decided to look more deeply into this exploding trend. Do we really know the consequences . Nightline co anchor Cynthia Mcfadden investigates. Reporter we know how valuable healthy donor eggs can be. 5,000. 10,000 if you are asian says this ad. If you are a model, 50,000. Does it make you nervous . At this point its my 6th time. I dont really get nervous anymore. Reporter 29yearold anna cain is a freelance writer who says shes made over 60,000 as a donor. As far as youre concerned there is no reason not to do this . No. Reporter today is egg retrieval day, the culmination of weeks of hormone injections to stimulate her ovaries into producing more eggs than normal. Dr. Joel batzofin is her doctor. Is a donation essentially risk free . Nothing is risk free. There is anesthesia, there is risk of the procedure. I think the right answer is yes, its essentially risk free. Reporter dr. Batzofin mentions there is a rare condition found in less than one percent of patients, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. 27yearold emma smith, not his patient, was so sick with it she spent six days in the hospital and shot this video diary. I feel that they should have gone out of their way to make me more aware of any possible side effects in the all process. Reporter dr. Jennifer schneider worries there is no registry to track what happens to this exploding group of women donating their eggs. Her daughter jessica was a three time egg donor who died at 31 of collin cancer. The egg donors are not considered patients. Theyre considered more like venders. Reporter she wonders if the repeated hormone injections fuel cancer in some way even though studies suggest there is no proof it causes cancer. We were shocked to discover there has never been, not even one, longterm study of egg donors. It doesnt worry you that there havent really been good studies done following egg donors . Not really. Reporter anna says she loves the idea shes already create three sets of twins and hopes there will be more. What we can say right now is there are no known longterm medical issues for donors which is of course a world of difference from saying no longterm issues. Follow up donor studies could help. No National Data base on this . Nothing. Thank you, cynthia. And a 3,000yearold mystery is about to be solved tonight. King tut, what really happened to him and how car crash investigators helped crack this ancient case in our instant index.

They have taught her to hunt and survive on her own and they plan to release her back into the wild, reminding us of course of that other video we all loved, this lion reuniting with the human parents who raised him from birth, decades later running into their arms as if to say all gods creatures can remember love. A 3,000yearold mystery may have been solved. King tut, just 19 when he died, well, how did he meet his end . It was a longdebated issue until tonight.
