Doing. The real fight of the century. Romney holyfield. Down goes holyfield. The onetime president ial candidate sending the former heavyweight champ to the mat sort of at a boxing match all for a good cause today, saturday, may 16th, 2015. Announcer from nbc news this is today with lester holt and erica hill live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on this saturday morning. Im erica hill. Im john roberts. Wasnt that amazing to see holyfield and romney in the ring . There was no contest there. I think for 68 mitt romney looks great. Holyfield is 52. We also saw in the intro ann romney dancing in ahead of her house what a good sport. It raised more than 1 million to help doctors operate on people in other countries with blindness. Someone on twitter said if thats 68 i need to get to a gym. A Surprising New turn in the investigation of that deadly amtrak derailment. Was the train hit by an object shortly before it crashed . And could that have impaired the engineer . The fbi is now on the case. Nbcs tom costello is in philadelphia where the train passed through. Tom, good morning. Thomas good morning to you. At least one and perhaps two other trains traveling through that regional area at exactly the same time were hit by projectiles. The question was the engineer on train 188, who by the way was treated for a head injury after the accident was he hit by a projectile and then incapacitated just as the train was speeding up . This morning new questions about the change of events tuesday night. Minutes before amtrak train 188 derailed a pennsylvania regionalregion al septa train was shot at damaging the windshield. We have seen damage to the lefthand lower portion of the amtrak windshield that we have asked the fbi to come in and look at for us. Reporter was amtrak 188 also hit with a projectile before it crashed . Thats what an assistant conductor told investigators she thought she heard engineer Brandon Bostian say on the radio. He reported that he does not have any recollection of anything past north philadelphia. Reporter bostian said he wasnt sick or tired. Its still not clear why the train kept speeding up. 16 seconds before the crash, 100 miles per hour. Then 106 when bostian slammed on the emergency brakes. One of bostians Close Friends for 20 years says he was watching coverage of the crash and then called bostian and spoke to him from the e. R. He was in shock. He didnt understand. Memory was very fuzzy. He was having a hard time remembering things. Reporter meanwhile in new york on friday Funeral Services for the youngest victim 20yearold navalal Academy Midshipman justin zemser. A freakish accident and theres questions about why but its about celebrating justins wife. Reporter later today a funeral for Laura Finamore on her way home. Also the ntsb is hoping to reassembling the train to put it together to continue to look for forensic clues and amtrak hopes to restart service on the northeast line between philly and new york on tuesday. Thomas and erica, back to you . Tom costello thank you. Jim hall joins us now. As you heard toms reporting, the fbi now involved as were hearing about this fracture pattern on the lefthand side of the front window. Does that indicate to you that the source came from someone targeting in train and now that the fbi is involved are we looking at completely a criminal investigation . Well in any case none of that negates a need for a positive train control system which is designed to override any type of human error regardless of what the human error is. When we talk about human error in this and were still waiting to find out exactly what happened behind the controls of this locomotive bostian has been very open with investigators. Hearing from this assistant engineer she claims she heard over the radio bostian report something striking. How important is it that the event recorders may have capture ed this radio transmissions and fbi can check. Hopefully all of that will be developed as part of the investigation and with the fbis forensic ability theyll also be able to look more closely at the windshield to determine whether it was a foreign object or as a result of the accident the damage that is seen. Bostian says hes well versed with this route and he wasnt fatigued or tired or distracted. Do you think in your opinion that a projectile may have distracted him especially since we know that the train now accelerated and continued to accelerate toward that curve . All of the things that occurred in that cab are still on the table until the investigation progressed to where investigators can determine to the best of their ability what did occur. Former ntsb chairman jim hall. Sir, thanks for joining us. Appreciate it. This morning boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is waking up with a death sentencing hanging over his head. On friday a federal jury voteded to give him the ultimate punishment for his role in the attack. Nbc justice correspondent Pete Williams is in boston. Pete good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Heres the big headline in the boston globe. Public Opinion Survey showed the majority of people here in boston including families of some of the victims opposed Death Penalty for tsarnaev but theres widespread agreement here about one thing. Theyre glad its over. The jury voted unanimously to impose the Death Penalty for the victims killed by the bomb he placed near the marathon finish line. 8yearold Martin Richard and a chinese graduate. The jury rejected a plea from his lawyers for a sentence of life in prison arguing that his brother, tamerlan was the driving force behind their crime scene. Whether you agree with the Death Penalty or dont, the message is sent that theyre not going to blow up our marathon theyre not going to blow up our city. Reporter a woman permanently injured from the marathon bombing said she agreed with the jurys decision. It had to be agonizing for them but i still believe it was the right thing. Reporter and liz whose sons each lost limbs asked if the verdict brings closure . Theres no winner today. I feel justice for my family. Reporter it wont be over for decades. Defense lawyers said nothing after the verdict, the law requires an immediate appeal with more likely to follow. One issue, the defense request to move the trial out of boston. If youre not going to move this you might as well say you never have to move a trial with overwhelming evidence of prejudice. Reporter for now tsarnaev will remain at a federal prison in massachusetts and be back in the boston courthouse in a few months for formal sentencing when hell have the opportunity to speak. Though some bombing victims supported the Death Penalty, others opposed it including the family of 8yearold Martin Richard who said a life sentence would have ended the appeals letting the memory of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev fade quickly. Erica . Pete williams for us this morning. Pete thank you. Heather abbott lost part of her leg in the bombing and also testified at the trial. Heather, good morning. Good morning. You posted on facebook yesterday that the verdict doesnt bring you peace and in fact makes you sad. What is it about it that makes you sad this morning . I think when i heard the verdict i was driving home from giving a commencement speech at the Southern Connecticut State University and i couldnt help but think that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was in the same position as those students that i met that day and had such a Bright Future ahead of him, and i think its very sad he chose this path and gave up all those opportunities. Of course im reminded of the deaths that he caused and those opportunities others had to give up without a choice. You have become close with a number of the other bombing victims and survivors. Have you spoken to them since you first heard this yesterday and what was their reaction . I was in touch with some of them yesterday. There was just a sort of sense of support letting us know that were there for each other, and i think that most of us are happy that the verdict is finally in and closer to being over but unfortunately i dont think theres really a sense of closure here for me at least. I know you testified. You were hoping that would bring you a sense of closure. Not a lot of emotion as we saw throughout the trial from tsarnaev. Were you hoping you would see more emotion from him . Is that one of the reasons you decided to testify . I think it was. I think, you know i have been looking for answers as to why since the trial started. I think i hoped that maybe seeing him that close and being able to tell my story to the jury and attending some of the trial might answer some of those questions but unfortunately it didnt. I dont think it brought any closure. I think that when i reflect back now, closure happens when i decided to move on with my life and i dont think ill get much more beyond that. One of the ways you decided to move on is to work with other limb loss victims in helping them. How is that helping your recovery and your healing at this point . It has been tremendous for my healing. Just to make some sense of what happened and try to do something good with it has helped me heal and helped me be able to move forward and have a reason to continue to stay motivated i think. A lot of people appreciative of the work you do now. Heather abbott appreciate your time this morning. Thank you.

Thank you so much. To an emotional case thats unfolding in kentucky where a couple is battling to regain custody of their ten children after authorities took them away. Nbcs chris cato is here to explain why. Good morning. These parents admit their lifestyle may be unconventional but they say their children are happy and healthy. And they want them back. Authorities in kentucky call this a makeshift shed. Joe and nicole call it home. I can critique other peoples homes. No Running Water, no sewer. They say they chose to live this way. We have so many friends who dont see their kids because they both have to work all day to pay for things that i dont think i need. So we said okay whats the bare minimum we need to survive comfortably. They have a facebook blog dedicated to living a simple back to basics life but some call it too basic especially for children. They have ten of them. Nicole is carrying number 11. They delivered a baby there last winter. It was about 30 degrees below zero. Its not Living Conditions for a kid. Last week acting on a tip, authorities went to investigate but nicole wouldnt let them walk around or talk to the kids without a lawyer. The situation escalated. Nicole recorded audio of the encounter. Maam, sit down. You cannot kidnap my son. Youre going to be under arrest. You will not kidnap my son. Maam, you need to sit down. Nicole was arrested for allegedly resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. The children were taken and place with foster families. The Kentucky Office of health and Family Services says it cant comment or confirm an investigation. This dispute comes after a maryland couple made headlines for letting their 10 and 6yearold children walk to a park a mile from home alone. The kids were picked up by police and later returned. On today their mother defended what they call free range parenting. Its a National Conversation because were just doing what our parents did and was considered perfectly normal just one generation ago. Back in kentucky a custody hearing will be held on monday. My parenting styles may not be what yours are but that doesnt mean theyre wrong. It means theyre different. It is important to point out that Authorities Say they took the children into custody because of what they call unsafe Living Conditions on the property there. A lot of people have rallied to the familys defense and a friend set up a gofundme page raising 24,000 in one week. They will use that money to build a bigger cabin for their expanding family. Mom is five months pregnant with child number 11. Maybe this money theyll get kids back if they can set up more suitable Living Conditions. Its something theyll have to prove in court at the next custody hearing that they can improve lives on their property for their kids. Theres a line somewhere. You dont know where that is. You want the kids to be safe. Its a big debate. Still to come prince harry getting ready to head home after a whirlwind trip to new zealand. When will he and Princess Charlotte finally meet .

There was one report of a shot fired and then the ntsb said on friday they found something unusual on the windshield of the broken and twisted and damaged train number 188, the amtrak train. We have seen damage to the lefthand lower portion of the amtrak windshield that we have asked the fbi to come in and look at for us. Reporter the question is is it possible that that engineer who by the way doesnt remember anything after he left north philadelphia and was treated for a head injury after the accident could he have been hit by some sort of projectile and then incapacitated as the train was speeding up . You can see we have a whole new ripple in this investigation. Well see where it goes. Back to you. Thats concerning. Thank you, tom.

Thanks. These days you know you have to pay for pretty much everything when you fly. One father is angry after saying he was ripped off when all he wanted to do was sit next to his young daughter on a flight. Francis rivera is here with more on that. Reporter good morning to you. You go online to book a flight but you cant sit next to the person youre flying with. Its usually not too big of a deal. What if the person you are trying to sit next to is just 4 years old. Does the airline have to seat you together . The answer may just surprise you. Flying these days can be difficult enough but for one dad, frank strong a recent Delta Air Lines flight with his 4yearold daughter make a headache in the way he never expected. The headline on his blog how airlines like delta hold parents hostage. Wind to delta. Com and purchased it. At the point of transaction it allowed me to choose any number of seats but no two seats together. Reporter despite having her age, delta assigned my daughter a seat on our flight 11 rows away. At the airport he went to the ticket counter for help. She suggest that i go to the gape and perhaps the gate agent could make an arrangement or she could put us in two seats together in economy plus for 88 bucks. Reporter rather than having to ask fellow passengers to switch seats on their flight he paid. Imagine his surprise upon boarding plenty of seats in coach. Plenty of economy plus. This did not have to happen. Reporter is there a rule to keep this from happening . There are a lot of regulations on the Airline Industry but this is one thing that isnt yet regulated. Reporter strong went so far to call his experience calculated exploitation writing the airlines have been systematic in a pursuit of driving revenue by making their customers miserable. Selling seats and upselling passengers is another way for them to make profit. They have no real business incentive to make sure that those seats are available for parents and kids. Reporter a delta spokesperson told nbc news they regret that mr. Strongs experience did not live up to our standard. They apologized. I felt the apology was sincere. He said that this is contrary to deltas policy and that the ticket agent should have changed my seat with no questions asked. I dont think its unreasonable expectation to put a parent and toddler or a child together. What do you do if youre caught in that situation . Our expert paul brady said book your trip as far in advance as possible to ensure there are seats together. If there arent any together when you first book, check back because sometimes they open new seats. Once at the airport, the best bet is the gate agent who may swap your seat and if all else fails, ask your fellow passengers for a helping hand so you can play the sympathy route and say you can also do the shame if you like. Ive got a 5 year old. Do you want my kid next to you alone . I hope that person switches with us. Its hard. You can also do that. She gets motion sickness my daughter. You have a plan over there. I have a 4 year old. Delta said it didnt live up to their standard because you would think common sense from the ticket agent is well put the dad with the 4 year old. We wont charge them 88. It happened to us. We booked our tickets in advance. We booked all four sitting next to each other. Checked in the night before. Everything had changed. I called. I would not get off the phone with them until they switched the seats back. We need to have one parent with one kid. They finally did. They tried to charge me initially. For the sake of the rest of the passengers. Thats what i said. You put up the good fight and you won. My 4 year old at that point was crazy. Good morning, sawyer. All right. We all love starbucks around here. We love coffee in general but especially when were working this morning shift but some customers are getting a jolt these days and its not of the caffeine variety. They say theyve been hacked through the companys mobile app. The story from nbcs kerry sanders. Reporter in a place where its all about hand crafted beverages, its the criminals hand that has customers piping hot. Across the nation in unspecified number of patrons that use the iphone starbucks app learned the hard way theyre vulnerable. Maria was perplexed as a thief digitalically pickpocketed the 34. 77 balance remaining on her starbucks account and then it automatically added 25 from her linked American Express credit card. The hacker then reloaded another 75 and swiped all of that. In total, siphoning more than 134. All of that happened in seven minutes. I mean i just noticed it. I went in. I saw it continually be debited right ou in front of my eyes. Reporter bob sullivan was the first to call attention to the ingenious hack. They are being casual. Its no big deal. Well give you the money back. To a consumer who had their red its card stolen its a big deal. Reporter starbucks will not say if the problem is isolated or widespread. A spokesperson says we have safeguards in place to constantly monitor for fraudulent activity and like all major retailers work closely with Financial Institutions to make sure our customers are protected. A long time caffeine addict marie is happy that starbucks will give her back money she lost but the only change to route even the auto reload feature is now permanently disabled. For today, kerry sanders, nbc news miami. Its a big day in baltimore where the preakness will be run this afternoon. Second leg of the triple crown and of course everyone is wondering if American Pharoah has what it takes to move one step closer to that elusive triple crown. Carolyn, good morning. Reporter erica, good morning. American pharoah looking this morning as we head into the race later . Reporter he looks really good right now. American pharoah has had a great week of training. He put on the weight that he lost after the Kentucky Derby and he has Victor Espinoza aboard him and is favorite going into the race. 18 horses ran the derby. Were looking at eight this time. How is the competition stacking up . Reporter competition is good. The top three finishers from the derby are the horses that everyone has their eyes on and firing line is a horse being talked about that could spoil the plans. Gary stevens jockey is confident this week drawing a better post position than American Pharoah and could be a horse to watch for sure. We know who to watch and everyone is watching it see if this is a year where we could see another triple crown where it hasnt happened in 37 years. Why has there been a drought . Reporter its a great question. The answer is complicated. The easiest way to put it is that the sport has evolved over the last couple decades while the triple crown gauntlet has remained the same. Horses are bred differently now. Racing schedule is different now. Horses dont run as often as they used to and a horse will run in the Kentucky Derby and then comes back and skips the preakness and runs in the belmont. Its tough to get a triple crown this time around with the way the sport is set up but a lot of people feel that American Pharoah is a strong horse. The sport is unpredictable. Well have to wait and see. Its like the start of the season with any sport. The home and dream is alive. You mentioned American Pharoah and firing line. What are you hearing from people in the area . Who are they thinking is going to win . Reporter people in the area really are going with those top choices. Its kind of tough when you look at the top three. American pharoah is the clear cut favorite. No doubt. Hes the horse that people are targeting that could win this race. There are some outsiders there are other horses in the field. A lot of our experts here feel like those are second tier horses compared to the top three horses that are going to run. That being said dortman is said to have lost weight as he made a transition to the preakness. Hes a horse that people are shaky on right now. Firing line and American Pharoah are the top two heading into todays race. Nice to have you with us this morning. Thank you. You can catch our freaknesspreakness Coverage Today on the nbc sports network.

Turns out you can and you can get it on one of those latenight infomercials. Janice is here with a sense of what it takes to get those ideas and inventions on tv. Make us some money, janice. Absolutely. Some people stay up all night watching those infomercials and it all amounts to a billion dollar business. I spent some time recently learning what it takes to make it all happen. Keeps you occupied. Reporter if you ever had a Million Dollar idea for an invention, this is where you need to be. My product will dry and style wet hair while you sleep. Its a superhero cape all in one. Reporter its the ninth annual response expo held in san diego where inventors attempt to bring their creations to life. This will change the way people feel about compost. Reporter you are the pit bull of inventors. John is one of the organizers of the threeday event. Some of these potential dreamers could make hundreds of millions of dollars. Hundreds of millions of dollars if not more with the right idea. Reporter what exactly is the formula for hitting it big and being featured on an as seen on tv commercial . Inventors have to think about products that are demonstratable that have mass appeal and easy to manufacture and easy to understand that are low in price and you know what . They got to believe in them. They have to work. They have to have value. Reporter and of course having a good tv pitchman doesnt hurt either. Are you tired of throwing money out the window . Are you tired of that guy peeking in . Reporter most inventors gathered here are just ordinary people with a dream. Timothy works for the county of los angeles.
