morning. i've got the mask here because the smoke and fumes are so strong. this fire came up very, very fast. you could see this structure is a total loss. this is a building, a local building still on fire. they ravaged through, tore this apart, catching much of the town completely offguard. overnight massive flames billowing into the sky. >> i'd never seen anything like it. >> reporter: there were tense moments overnight as fires swept through this nearby 30,000-gallon propane tank storage site. fire crews forced to let it burn for fear the tanks would explode. fortunately, they haven't so far. in this vacation town of oakhurst, california, just 16 miles from yosemite national park, 13,000 people ordered to evacuate. homeowners watching as out-of-control flames jumped from trees and over roads. >> just can't believe how powerful that is. the trees are a couple hundred feet tall. and all of a sudden you see flames. >> reporter: hundreds of homes and businesses in jeopardy. at least eight already destroyed. the fast-moving fire scorching nearly 1200 acres so far. >> we've been worried about something like this, and now we've got it. >> reporter: air tankers attacking from above and more than 600 firemen working through the night trying to contain the blaze. schools have been closed in the area today just as a precaution. the fire has actually died down a bit this morning. but they will be reassessing before the day heats up again. george. >> so scary that it got so chose to that tank. we'll turn to the latest in ferguson. the curfew lifted overnight but protests and violence not ending. president obama has dispatched attorney general eric holder who will be in missouri tomorrow. and this morning we're hearing from a friend of the officer who shot michael brown. abc's steve osunsami is on the scene right now. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, george. the start of school here has been delayed yet another week. at night the police here have a new tactic with demonstrators forcing them to keep moving. no standing still. 31 people were arrested last night alone, and police say many of them were from out of state. overnight the sound of smoke bombs and the smell of tear gas filled the night over ferguson. police set off ear-piercing sirens against the crowds after they say rocks and bottles came flying. >> in the dark of night, at least two people shot, not a single bullet fired by officers despite coming under heavy attack. >> reporter: the curfew lifted, but police in riot gear in full effect. arresting 31 people including some demonstrators who wouldn't keep moving. the state's governor sent in the missouri national guard. troops with guns on the roofs of grocery stores, their armored vehicles guarding the police staging area. >> hands up. >> hands up. >> don't shoot. >> don't shoot. >> reporter: overnight protests broke out in new york city and atlanta too. all calling for justice more than a week after the shooting of michael brown. and this morning, a first, we're now hearing from a good friend of ferguson city police officer darren wilson who shot and killed the unarmed teen. >> i have exchanged text messages with him just as of a few days ago. i can tell that he's struggling, you know, i can tell that this is really hard on him. >> reporter: the friend is so concerned for his own safety he asked us to conceal his face for this interview. he wouldn't speak about the shooting but says he and wilson never saw his friend fight. >> he's a really quiet guy. he is just really well-mannered. he is very respectful. >> reporter: prosecutors say they could present their case to a grand jury as early as this week to determine if there will be charges. george. >> thanks. let's talk to the chief legal affairs anchor, dan abrams. this grand jury, when it meets, is going to get two very different stories they have to sort through. >> that's right. less than half of the cases in the county ever go to a grand jury. you don't have to take it to a grand jury, but this allows the prosecutor with these sort of warring narratives to say, i didn't make the decision. they did. the grand jurors did, the people did. but how vigorously the prosecutor presents this case is everything. there's no defense attorney there. it's just the prosecutor presenting a case to the grand jurors. if the d.a. wants an indictment, he'll get an indictment. if the d.a. doesn't want an indictment or has questions, that could be a very different thing. >> one key piece of evidence already out there is this autopsy. how critical is it? >> absolutely crucial. the autopsy and ballistics to me are essential in this case. why? because if the weapon was fired from a distance, if these six shots were taken from far away and all of the bullets hit him in the front, that's going to be a very tough spot for the police officer to be in. if, however, this was fired at close range, the police officer's going to say there was a struggle. we were fighting for the gun and so that becomes an absolutely essential question and, again, that's why it's so important how the d.a. presents this case to the grand jury. >> at the same time you've got the attorney general saying he'll pursue a civil rights investigation on a parallel but separate track. >> i don't think this will turn into anything. this is a state case. every time there is a controversial case the federal authorities come in and say we're looking at it, we're investigating, we're on top of it and i believe that all to be the case. but the reality is, this is a state case. that's where this case is going to be focused, and i think the feds are just watching very, very carefully. >> the state will go first. >> absolutely. i don't think -- again, i don't think the feds will -- where the actions will be in the case. >> thanks very much. >> still so many questions. now we turn to the crisis in iraq. president obama addressing the situation on monday saying u.s. air strikes have helped iraqis score a big victory over isis. but the extremist group is not backing down as they renew threats against the u.s. abc's jon karl is at the white house and the president says this military action against these islamic militants is a limited campaign. could this be a sign of something larger? >> reporter: it sure could, lara. in fact, we have seen the campaign of air strikes in iraq increase significantly over the last few days. 35 air strikes in just 72 hours and while the president continues to promise very emphatically that there will be no ground troops introduced in iraq, yesterday he also said that he couldn't put an end date on this military operation. really preparing americans for the possibility that this military campaign of air strikes, and air strikes only, could go on for a long time. >> no end date and then also these threats from isis to attack on american soil. what do you know about this? >> reporter: well, we've seen a lot of threats from isis increasing in recent days. we saw it not long ago. they threatened to raise the black flag of isis over the white house. we've seen more specific threats. just in the last several hours. this is really why the united states got involved because ultimately this terrorist group represents a threat to the west and a threat to the united state., in fact, lara, this as you hear many intelligence analysts say, could be the most well-funded, well-armed terrorist group we have ever seen. >> all right, jon karl, thank you very much. we want to get to amy for the other top stories developing right now. >> good morning, good morning, everyone. we begin with a surprise from pope francis, openly talking about his own mortality for the very first time. the

or three years and i'll be off to the father's house." some say he was joking but he did admit to having nerve problems. he also did not rule out retirement. new overnight the faa has banned u.s. airlines from flying over syria as we learn extremists are armed with hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles. similar weapons downed the plane from ma lair ya airlines in yew ukraine. and police in

search dogs and over the weekend members of the church where mcbride taught sunday school passing out flyers. >> this is a case of a child who came from a loving family, has family support, friends that support her, she also is very much connected with her local church. that is why it raises our suspicion. >> reporter: this morning detectives are also working to track mcbride's cell phone and following up on reported sightings of the teen, but so far nothing concrete. still, they say they don't have evidence of foul play at this time, but her fragile father fears otherwise. >> someone did it. someone took my daughter. >> reporter: for "good morning america," matt gutman, abc news, gainesville, florida. >> and now to the high-stakes heist on the streets of paris. a saudi prince's convoy

incredible robbery straight out of "the italian job." >> take your hands off the wheel. >> reporter: but the target of this mobile takedown was even bigger. a real-life saudi prince. his name, prince al waleed bin talal, owner of the plaza hotel known for his business savvy. some call him the arabian warren buffett. police say a gang of heavily armed thieves ambushing his diplomatic convoy sunday night while traveling from a luxury hotel to a private airport just outside paris. the assailants flashing guns, forcing them to stop. stealing a mercedes carrying more than $325,000 in cash as well as sensitive embassy documents. driving away with the car before setting it on fire. france is quickly becoming a popular site for brazen robberies. this 2013 surveillance footage captures the most expensive heist in history. $143 million worth of jewelry swiped from an expensive cannes hotel in just 30 seconds. but police say sunday's attack happening so quickly with the assailants firing no shots proves that this incident was the handiwork of professionals likely with inside information. the prince flew to ibiza after the incident. and an airport employee told the french media he was so unfazed by the money he lost, even cracking jokes. he had spent 45 days in paris. it was just time to move on. george and lara. >> okay, reena. for him it's not a lot of money he's one of the

little league world series last night? oh, it was so much fun. it was a tough game, though, for mo'ne davis. she did strike out six but faced a very tough nevada team, so they went down in defeat, but today, those kids from philly are going to face off against that other team from the south side of chicago that is really capturing -- two heartthrob stories but nevada was very good last night. >> very good team. a lot more on that. but the breaking news, there's the hospital in atlanta where the two americans infected with ebola have been treated for nearly three weeks. dr. kent brantly is going home this morning. we're going to learn more about nancy writebol's discharge. abc's steve osunsami is in atlanta with the latest. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, george. nancy writebol and her family have asked for privacy and will not attend a news conference scheduled later today. dr. kent brantly will attend that news conference, take no questions, and then he and his family, we're told, plan to disappear. this morning, dr. kent brantly, the missionary doctor sick with ebola finally going home to the arms of his loved ones. dr. brantly and nancy writebol were serving god and saving lives in the ebola war at this field hospital in liberia when they got sick. both were flown to this atlanta hospital. brantley was strong enough to be walked into the building nearly three weeks ago. both are being released. the disease has claimed the lives of more than 1300 people in west africa. the deadliest outbreak in history. but with the right care, about 40% of ebola patients survive. >> the key here is excellent nursing, frequent vital signs, fixing problems. >> reporter: it took an elaborate rescue mission to fly the two missionaries stateside. experts say brantley still has plenty of healing ahead of him. the most common issue joint and muscle pain which can last for years. >> it's pretty common for people after a bad infection to be very fatigued, maybe to have muscle and joint aches and that certainly can happen after ebola virus. >> reporter: doctors say that after three weeks, ebola patients who beat the disease can no longer spread it easily. the virus no longer appears in the blood or saliva, but there is evidence it can be transmitted through sexual intercourse for up to three months. just this past saturday, brantly was still in the isolation unit separated from his family by a clear wall and an intercom telling abc news in a statement "as my treatment continues in the isolation unit, i'm recovering in every way. i hold on to the hope of a sweet reunion with my wife, children and family in the near future." throughout their ordeal both of these missionaries have tried to put the focus on the crisis that's taking place in west africa, which so far has not spread west. george. >> boy, they've handled this with such dignity. >> they have and they have put the focus exactly where steve said but i'm so happy they're heading home and doing well. now to new details about that shocking execution of american james foley by isis terrorists. his abductors demanding that huge ransom, more than $100 million. and u.s. special forces recently launching a secret mission to try to rescue him. abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross has been following this for us. good morning, brian. >> well, good morning, robin. this morning the white house will face new questions about what went wrong with that mission to rescue them over the july 4th weekend. officials tell abc news several dozen special operation forces carried out the bold attempt only to find no hostages when they arrived. for the families of james foley and the other u.s. hostages, it was more heartbreaking news of what could have been. this morning, authorities could be closing in on the identity of the hooded executioner using a database of known jihadists to look for a match with his eyes, his hands and most telling his voice with what british authorities call a distinctive london accent. >> you have plotted against us and gone far out of your way to find reasons to interfere in our affairs. >> reporter: the director. of the fbi said he is determined to find foley's killers. >> these savages have turned it into a homicide investigation. >> reporter: and there are new details today about foley's harsh treatment while in captivity provided to abc news by one of his former fellow hostages, french journalist nicolas henin. >> he was kind of a scapegoat. every time there would be a round of kicks and punches, he would get a bit more than the others typically. >> reporter: of the several u.s. hostages, foley was picked as the first to be executed. his kidnappers sent word to his family and bosses at "globalpost" last week that they intended to kill him. >> we responded to it and pleaded with them not to take that action. clearly they didn't listen to us. >> reporter: as the outrage over the scene spreads across the world, the vatican said pope francis intends to call foley's parents today to offer his condolences for their brave son. >> he was strong, courageous, loving to the end. i mean, we just highly recognize our little boy. i mean, he just -- he was just a hero, you know. >> and you know from the videos that his last words were, "i wish i had more time to see my family." >> reporter: there was no further word today and growing concern about the fate of the other american hostage shown on the video, steven sotloff who the isis group also threatened to kill if the u.s. bombing in iraq continues as it is. >> what more about this huge ransom they were demanding? >> it was 100 million euros which is about $130 million and the boss of foley at "globalpost" said they never took it seriously. >> they didn't, all right. thank you, brian. let's get more from our chief global affairs correspondent, martha raddatz in washington. martha, we saw the president saying yesterday the united states would do whatever it takes to defeat isis. secretary of state john kerry says isil must be destroyed, will be crushed. the question, how? >> reporter: well, the u.s. will certainly not let up on those air strikes in iraq because of the threat from isis, in fact, options have been presented to intensify the air strikes in iraq to help, as the president has said, contain isis. there have already been close to 100 air strikes in iraq. the administration will also seek out partners in the fight, but there is another aspect to this, and that is intelligence. this changes the whole dynamic. turning on an even more robust intelligence gathering, moving drones, surveillance aircraft into the region in greater numberss, but what we really lack is people on the ground to gather intelligence and a broader strategy, say critics, to get to the root of the problem, george. >> you talk about a broader strategy. what about expanding the battlefield? is it possible the united states will start bombing sites in syria to try to draw in iran and syria against isis? >> reporter: well, the president has always made clear that if it is determined that someone or some group poses an imminent threat to the u.s., the u.s. will act. that has been the case in pakistan, yemen and would not be ruled out in syria especially given jim foley's murder. >> okay, martha raddatz, thanks very much. all right there, george. now to the latest from ferguson. tensions easing somewhat overnight. police calling it a very good night and the reason they say that is that arrests were down significantly. only six people arrested. this after attorney general eric holder met with the family of michael brown. abc's alex perez is in ferguson and has the latest. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, robin. authorities say this is the first time since those violent protests began that they've had a night this calm. all this as the grand jury begins reviewing evidence. overnight, thunderstorms seemingly dampening the crowds in ferguson. >> there were no molotov cocktails tonight, no fires, no shootings. >> reporter: but tensions still running high. police evacuating supporters of officer darren wilson following tense exchanges with other protesters supporting the unarmed teen he killed, michael brown. this as newly released images show a heated conflict tuesday night. >> my hands are up, bro. >> reporter: a police officer pointing a gun at a demonstrator and threatening to shoot him. >> hands up or i'll [ expletive ] kill you. >> reporter: that officer suspended indefinitely. attorney general eric holder visiting ferguson yesterday trying to ease the unrest. >> people know that a federal thorough investigation is being done. >> reporter: holder also meeting with brown's family as a grand jury met for the first time hearing evidence that could lead to charges against officer wilson. >> they will have absolutely everything that there is, every piece of paper, every photograph. >> reporter: this new cell phone video could be key to wilson's defense, a witness heard in the background saying brown was shot while walking towards police. >> the next thing i know he's coming back toward the police. >> reporter: abc news also learning from a source close to officer wilson that wilson suffered a serious facial injury during the confrontation, and prosecutors say the grand jury will get to hear officer wilson's account of what exactly happened. it could be eight weeks before a decision on charges is known. robin. >> at the least, all right, alex, thank you. let's go to amy now for the other top storying developing. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with a stunning navy investigation into cheating by sailors. at least 34 sailors are being thrown out of the service for cheating on exams to become instructors at a nuclear power training site. that cheating ring operated for at least seven years, none of the sailors were involved in the handling of nuclear weapons. and a serious escalation in the middle east overnight. hamas confirming an intense israeli air strike has killed three of its top military leaders. israeli leaders saying their operation will not stop until hamas stops firing rockets into israel. and here in new york, palestinian supporters unfurled this huge banner from the manhattan bridge. this is the second recent security breach on a bridge. you will remember the concern after some artists scaled the brooklyn bridge planting two white flags. well, bank of america has agreed to pay a record penalty nearly $17 billion. the bank will also admit to misleading investors. the fine settles accusations of selling faulty mortgage bonds before the financial crisis. well, hostess is closing the original twinkie factory in illinois where twinkies have been baked for 84 years. about 400 workers will be affected. twinkies will be made at three other plants. and some good news about hall of fame quarterback jim kelly. he is cancer-free. the buffalo bills legend underwent radiation and chemotherapy in his fight against sinus cancer. his doctor says it is possible no further treatment will be needed. congratulations to him, indeed. and an airline mechanic getting praise with this photo. there he is helping navy vet taylor morris who lost both of his arms and legs in afghanistan. morris twisted his leg out of place at the las vegas airport but his special wrench was in his checked bag, and that's when keith dufner came to his rescue. and caught on video off the florida gulf coast a four-foot shark, okay, that's scary enough. but wait until you see a giant grouper swallowing the shark in just one bite. groupers can grow to eight feet long and nearly 700 pounds. wow. all right. finally a pop culture icon is going big time literally. this giant rubber duckie will lead more than a dozen battleships and sailboats into the port of los angeles this afternoon to kick off the tall ships festival. this duckie may look squeezable like the one you have or perhaps still have in your bathtub. it's actually made of steel, and it weighs about 11 tons, but it sure is cute. >> yeah. >> cute steel. 11 tons. >> looks squeezable. >> huge. >> thanks, amy. we're going to turn now to the desperate search for two missing mothers in indiana. they disappeared five weeks and less than 20 miles apart in similar circumstances, and now police are trying to figure out if the incidents are related. abc's linzie janis has the story. >> reporter: this morning, police say they are actively investigating any possible connection between the disappearances of these two young indiana mothers. 30-year-old joelle lockwood and 27-year-old kristy kelley disappearing within weeks of each other. >> it doesn't happen frequently that we have two women of the same age group that go missing around the same time. >> reporter: kelley was last seen leaving a boonville veterans club around 1:30 friday morning. this surveillance footage shows what police believe is kelley's car heading in the direction of her home. >> there's been no activity on her bank accounts, no evidence pointing towards any type of a struggle. >> reporter: less than 20 miles away in evansville, joelle lockwood was last seen by friends leaving a house on july 9th. she too gone without a trace. >> it's been difficult to keep one foot in front of the other, but we are doing that, and we will find our daughter. >> reporter: so far, police say they have nothing linking the two women, but investigators on both cases are comparing notes daily. >> just knowing that our daughter is out there and we can't get to her, it's very, very, very rough. >> reporter: both families pleading for the public's help reassuring their grandchildren they won't stop searching. >> we have told the children that their mother is missing, we are looking for their mother and that we will continue to look for their mother. >> anybody that's a parent, i hope no one ever has to go through this nightmare. >> and if someone does have her, i just beg you, beg you, please bring our daughter home. >> reporter: for "good morning america," linzie janis, abc news, new york. >> let's hope this attention helps. >> we do hope that helps. lara, little league world series so exciting this year. >> yeah, the action continues, guys. the little league world series is on. mo'ne davis will be back in action today after a rough night. her team will be going head to head with another favorite from the south side of chicago, and abc's gio benitez is at the stadium in south williamsport, pennsylvania, with all the news. good morning to you, gio. >> reporter: oh, good morning, lara. you're right. she did have a rough game. but tonight we're going to be talking about the two teams that have just captivated this nation showing everyone that the little leagues, they're pretty major. tonight, two of the most talked about teams in the little league world series coming face to face and only one will continue on. south side chicago's jackie robinson west team defying the odds, the first little league team from chicago to make it to the world series in 31 years, becoming a social media craze and beacons of hope for some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country. >> it's over. a complete game. >> reporter: on the other bench philadelphia's taney dragons and their star, mo'ne davis, now gracing the cover of this week's "sports illustrated." she made history with a pitch perfect game friday. the first shutout by a girl in series history. overnight davis took to the mound again with more than 34,000 fans in the stands. far more than ten major league games played on the same day. even the newly elected mlb commissioner attended the game. >> 1-2. laced into right center. >> reporter: but in the end it was a disappointing loss against las vegas. davis taken off the pitcher's mound early in the game and moved to first base. >> she, you know, didn't have her "a" game today but she's certainly entitled to it. >> reporter: and now strict little league rules say she can't pitch for two full days, which means at tonight's game, we'll only see her at bat or covering the bases. her legions of fans behind her all the way. who are you here to see? >> all: mo'ne! >> so again she can't pitch tonight. those are the rules, but if the taney dragons win tonight's game, they will play saturday night, and you can bet mo'ne davis will be back on that pitcher's mound and, guys, we're going to be watching. >> yeah. >> no pressure. >> so much pressure on such a young girl. >> she's really handling it well. >> i want both teams to win tonight. >> i know. >> can you arrange that? >> a tie, does that happen? >> look at

looked on with tears in her eyes. what a difference a year makes. >> very classy. could do a lot of good. but we want to get right to the state of emergency in northern california after the biggest earthquake to hit the san francisco bay area in 20 -- 25 years, measuring 6.0. we have full team coverage, starting with cecilia vega in napa. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning. the governor declared a state of emergency, and downtown napa hit the hardest. just take a look at this. this building behind me, this was a law office and a wine bar. this morning, a pile of rubble with chunks of that building just dangling precariously here. 3:20 a.m. sunday, the quake strikes in the dead of night, the earth-shattering moment caught on surveillance video, shaking people out of bed, and rocking cars and buildings. >> i woke up and thought, oh, my god, this is it. this is the big one. >> reporter: these store shelves thrashed around before the power goes out. seconds later, the shaking is over, but the chaos has just begun. the monster 6.0 quake, the worst to hit the bay area in 25 years. fires rage in the scenic tourist town of napa. more than a dozen buildings in the historic downtown ravaged. shattered glass, cars buried in brick, and roads ripped wide open. >> the ceiling is crushed. the whole store is like that on the other side. >> reporter: the control tower windows at napa county airport, completely blown out. and this clock frozen in time, marking the moment the quake hit. >> the glass from the mirrors put shards and fragments everywhere. >> reporter: more than 200 people were taken to local hospitals, including a 13-year-old boy in serious condition after being hit by falling debris. >> a fireplace collapsed in the home. >> reporter: power knocked out for thousands, and more than 30 buildings and homes deemed too dangerous to go inside. >> stay away from buildings that look like they're leaning. >> reporter: and this morning, those allowed in, stunned by the damage. >> all the apartments pretty much look like this. >> reporter: but as the cleanup begins, so too does the fear of economic devastation as countless images emerge of the area's famed wine and olive oil stock now left in pieces on the floor and shovelled into dumpsters. authorities say this could have been so much worse. had this happened in the middle of the afternoon this building here, these streets would have been packed full of people. the price tag from the damage could top a billion dollars. >> still counting. thanks very much. you saw the fires. at least half a dozen. they spread quickly, snapping gas lines, hitting a mobile home park. abc's neal karlinsky is at one of those destroyed mobile home parks in napa. good morning, neal. >> reporter: that's right, it didn't just collapse buildings, it sparked fires like the one that absolutely ravaged these to give you a sense of how hot it was, melting these garbage cans next door like candles and sending residents running. at the napa valley mobile home park, this was the fiery scene just moments after the quake hit, forcing residents to fight for their lives. >> the fire just exploded. it was frightening, terrifying. >> reporter: the quake snapping gas lines, sparking a fire so hot, some people weren't sure they'd make it out. >> the earth moved, the house moved. >> reporter: four of these homes burned to the ground. another half dozen were damaged. the damage compounded by the fact that the quake also ruptured water lines, leaving firefighters struggling to find a way to put the fires out. >> we do have two swimming pools here in the community, and they were able to siphon water out of the pool into their truck and come back several times to fight the fire behind my house. >> reporter: homeowners bill and teresa still shaken as they faced cameras, lost everything but the clothes on their backs. >> we really didn't know what happened. the house was already on fire. it was hard to get out. it was scary. >> we lost everything. >> yeah, we lost everything. >> but we're not everything, honey, not everything. >> reporter: fortunately, everyone made it out of here alive. power and water were out for a time, they are now being restored. lara. >> all right, neal, thank you. and this quake appears to have hit along the dortmund fault line. they're now concerned it could trigger a bigger quake along the major fault lines in the area. ginger is here with us to explain how that works. sounds like a real concern. >> absolutely. i think it helps to see it on map. the san andreas fault is closer to the coast. this happened they think along the west napa fault, it's only 20 miles long, and this quake only ran half of it. it could have been so much worse. the west napa fault is part of a network of fault lines, they are concerned this is a precursor for a lot more activity. we have seen more than 150 earthquakes in the last 24 hours. you can see some aftershocks for up to seven days after, george, go up to 5.0 magnitude. the threat not over. >> thanks very much. and the latest now on the american journalist freed this morning after being held in syria for two years by a terrorist group. this comes as officials say they are closing in on the identity of james foley's killer. brian ross is here with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, george. even with the release of that one hostage in syria, at least three more americans remain in the hands of isis. but this morning any good news out of syria is very much welcome. >> my name is peter theo curtis -- >> reporter: until his release was announced on sunday, the kidnapping of peter theo curtis of boston had not been revealed. his only good fortune was that he was held by al qaeda in syria and not by terrorist group isis, who seems more interested in revenge than ransom with its american hostages. >> this is a game of revenge, and revenge is sweet to them, and they want to take it. we are, in their minds, the worst people on the face of the earth. >> reporter: today, this section of london will be the focus of british and u.s. authorities looking to track the isis recruit who killed foley. >> the british authorities have identified the key suspect and over the next couple of days, they're going to carry out raids in london. because, for them, the key question is not only who is he, but also, where in syria is he? >> reporter: whoever he is, authorities believe the killer is somewhere near the syrian city of raqqah, the isis stronghold and command center, and the location of the unsuccessful u.s. raid to rescue the hostages. u.s. authorities continue to be concerned that with their safe haven, isis will develop the ability to launch attacks on the u.s. mainland. >> and there are external operations, i believe, under way. they would love nothing more than to hit the united states of america. >> reporter: this morning, the family of that released american hostage, peter theo curtis, says he will be heading back to the u.s. as soon as he's ready to travel. george? >> okay, brian, thanks very much. and now, we turn to the strange and scary situation on an american airlines flight, on its way from dallas to san diego when fighter jets were scrambled. and the flight was diverted to phoenix. all of these part of a threat made on twitter involving the president of sony online entertainment. abc's david kerley is at reagan international with the details. good morning, david. >> reporter: lara, this attack seems to be connected, this cyberattack, on a gaming network with this social media bomb threat against a jet. the question this morning is why. passengers finally home after their nonstop flight made an emergency stop. >> there were police everywhere, dogs. rumors of terrorists. people in the back freaking out. >> reporter: the american airlines jet heading from dallas to san diego told to land immediately in phoenix. >> emergency 62 will need visual aid. >> 362, clear to land. >> reporter: this is the plane, in phoenix sunday, and according to two sources, it was shadowed by two fighter jets as it made that landing. a passenger tweeting pictures from the tarmac. >> they took us off the plane, and searched our luggage with dogs, and then gave us our onboard luggage back. >> reporter: and scrambling because of this tweet, our sources say, from a purported hacker group called lizard squad. saying, quote, we have been receiving reports, explosives on flight 362. please look into it. this tweet specifically mentioning jay smedley's plane. that's john smedley. he didn't want to talk -- >> i don't to want talk. >> reporter: he did tweet. yes, my plane was diverted. justice will find these guys. >> there is a process that the airlines use, fbi, law enforcement will use, tsa will use to vet each one of these threats. >> reporter: the lizard squad also claiming to take down the sony playstation network over the weekend. sony releasing a statement, saying its network was overwhelmed with artificially high traffic, denying service to some users. we asked sony why they might have been targeted, we didn't get answer. and the fbi is investigating this case. lara, the hacker group now says it is targeting the vatican. >> all right. thank you so much. and right to amy for the other top stories this morning. good morning.

this next story, we should say the young boy you're about to see is okay this morning. but take a look at this. he was playing in the street in china where you see right there an suv drove right over

are very thankful he is okay this morning. >> did we get a license plate? >> startling video. and finally, look at who showed up at the beginning of a soccer match. that's a black cat. >> oh, no. >>

>> we're going to need to rapidly scale up our ability to care for people in africa and do that safely so more people come in for care, and stop spreading to other, and we can begin to turn it around. >> we all hope that happens and happens soon. dr. frieden, this, very much for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> we sure hope it will happen soon. and now to dr. richard besser on the front lines of the battle against the ebola epidemic. he's in liberia for us this morning, good morning. >> reporter: robin, ebola is so deadly, we need to do everything we can to keep it out of the country. but the man in texas shows us, even when you're doing the right thing, infected people slip through. i'm at the airport here where he took off, and where i flew out of just last month. i went flew the screening. i saw the cdc doing the training. every passenger fills out a questionnaire. have you had symptoms, take your temperature, do you have a fever? did you have contact with someone with ebola? if you fail, you're pulled aside and you don't get on the plane. but the thing about ebola, you can be infected and it can take 21 days to show symptoms. infected people can get on the plane, but this doesn't make other passengers sick. there may be people who have contact with the man in texas who get sick, shouldn't spread from there. >> you and everyone there, take care. and dr. besser will take your questions throughout the morning, tweet him @dr.richardbesser. and the secret service, under fire right now. learning about the major new breach. an armed contractor with an arrest record on the elevator with the president. this breaking as the secret service head gets a fierce grilling on capitol hill about the armed fence jumper who ran into the white house. pierre thomas is tracking the latest. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. omar gonzalez is due in court later today to face charges and causing the huge embarrassment for the secret service. and this morning, new damaging details about how somebody else got too close to the president. the latest security breakdown happened september 16th as the president arrives for the centers for disease control in atlanta. mr. obama enters an elevator and encounters a security guard who sources say began to act unprofessionally, initially refusing to stop. the guard was reprimanded, and the secret service did a background check, discovering the guard had a criminal record or at least charged with a crime before. such a person should not have been allowed that close to the president, especially since the guard allegedly had a gun?

>> no, the letter women get in the mail says the mammo was normal, ps, your breasts are dense. level four dense breasts, it's like looking for a snowball in a snowstorm because cancer is white. we have two issues with density. one, it camouflages cancer, breast is white, fat is black. the denser your breasts, the whiter it is, and cancer gets overlapped and missed. second issue, the densest breasts have five times the cancer risk versus fatty breasts. you have more cancer risk and can't find it. >> can i ask you something else?

>> just a precaution. we want to go back -- >> reporter: but inside the cabin of the american airlines 757, a bit of a panic as the actual insides of the jetliner were popping. >> there was a loud popping and banging from the outside of the plane in quick succession and working its way in. bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. then the interior panels buckled in. >> reporter: wall panels buckling, pulling apart. >> i wasn't sure we were going to make it. but a little prayer. we made it. >> reporter: some of the 184 passengers so concerned they called the crew to look. that's when the pilot decided to turn the dallas flight back to san francisco. >> it took a lot of convincing. these passengers basically said, no, you need to come over here and take a look at this. >> reporter: turns out it was nothing to do with pressurization. the masks never deployed. it was an air duct running along the wall that blew, pushing the panels apart. but no one was sure of that up in the air. >> right now, everything is normal. if i see any problems with pressurization, whatever, we'll divert. >> we were so glad when they turned around and made an emergency landing. >> reporter: now american airlines calls this a cosmetic issue. it really was because the structure of the jetliner was solid. but that doesn't mean there weren't scary moments for the passengers who today will get to dallas. >> that would be a little frightening. to say the least. >> i wouldn't want to take any chances with that. >> why not, why not?

let's see if you can handle the booth. look at this. look at this prototype. is this how your going to fly with your family? mom and dad like they just got a massage, family like they watched "the sound of music." there's an upside and a downside. upside, you get to spend more time with your family and maybe be able to corral your children, much to the joy of the other customers. downside, parents have to spend more time with their family and have to corral their children to fear the wrath of other paying customers. so the question, should families sit apart from other flyers? tweet us at #socialsquare. what do you think? >> i think maybe on the age of the children. >> my kids want to sit with me. so it works. you think maybe in a few years, they'll want to sit away. >> it's great to have the option. >> i love this idea. >> francesca, my daughter, he's 9 weeks old now. never more than five feet away from me. but i'm italian, when she's 15, 21, still be five feet away from me. >> so you can handle the booth. >> i can handle the booth. >> good deal there, tony. thank you. >> over to michael now. next up on the "gma" heat index, switchup night on "dancing with the stars" and candace cameron bure is here to recap last night's show. but first, we asked you, which of the dances was your favorite?

>> alfonso, sadie, lea, janel, bethany. i mean, i think those are your top five. >> that seems like -- mark ballas did a little bit better, got 8s. he was still pretty disappointed, your former partner. >> he was disappointed. i think he and sadie got robbed last week. not enough 10s. and he did a great job with bethany. and compared to the other dances, i think they should have gotten some 9s in the score. >> it was surprising. >> and things turned a little risque. janel, wow. >> she was so risque. it was the first time they ever did burlesque on the show. i was like, boy, i'm glad my boys weren't at the live show. but, you know, for that kind of number, you have to really go all out. and she did. but i think they could have left a little more to the imagination and had a little more fun and comedy in it. >> jessie j was one of the guest judges. she was on our show. she was so nice and friendly. you talked about the tough judges, how did you think she did? >> i loved her. she was fantastic. she was honest and had a humor about her that was cracking me up. and she was saying very critical things in the most lovely, fun way that she could. >> the accent is better. and karina smirnoff was injured in rehearsals and not able to dance. how is she doing? any update? >> i don't have an update. i talked to the producers last night. i didn't get any official word. hopefully, she'll be back soon. >> but somebody won't be back. there was no elimination this week, but next week, who do you think is going to go home? >> unfortunately i think one of the guys in the bottom from last night's show and the week before. it could be jonathan. it could be antonio. or maybe michael. >> hope karina gets better. but to find out who gets eliminated next, tune into "dancing with the stars" next monday night at 8:00 p.m. eastern and pacific on abc. and have the couple on next tuesday morning. amy?

these are the pictures that got everyone talking. a pregnant woman in her ninth month doing strenuous lifting, pushups, while standing on her head. all part of her grueling cross-fit workout. she started doing crossfit two years ago. and when she became pregnant with her second child, she didn't want to quit. >> my daughter always said being pregnant is not being sick. >> reporter: the only real change was dropping the amount of weight she lifted from 65 pounds to 50 pounds and maintaining that throughout the pregnancy. she says she worked closely with a trainer, and showed the doctor videos of the workout, she was safe to continue. >> for women at this level of physical fitness before pregnancy. they can listen to their bodies and safely continue to work out at that level throughout their entire pregnancy. under the supervision of their health provider. >> reporter: she suffered terrible morning sickness during her first pregnancy, but felt wonderful during this one and continued the crossfit routine until four days before she delivered. >> with this one, i didn't feel like i was pregnant. i was so normal. i mean, i did everything i always do. >> reporter: another benefit of her crossfit workouts, during the first pregnancy, she gained 30 pounds. average for a one-baby pregnancy. but this time, only 16. >> i'd like to say pregnancy is an athletic event. you have to train for it. it's very strenuous physically as well as emotionally. so i think the better shape a woman is going into her pregnancy, the better she'll feel. >> reporter: she says she's finished having babies, but not finished with crossfit. she plans to be back at the routine in just a few weeks. >> i already have my girl and my boy. and if i have another baby, i would do it just the same way. >> reporter: and she delivered a healthy baby boy just two weeks ago. there are said to be health benefits for the babies and sometimes the labors of crossfit moms. >> i have to ask, are many of those workouts modified for pregnant women? >> some of them are. a lot of websites are dedicated to crossfit moms. pregnant burpees, use the walls instead of the floor. like many other things, doctors will tell you again and again, anything that you did before pregnancy, you can likely do it during pregnancy. it's about listening to your body. i tried doing crossfit while pregnant, not because i was doing it before, but my body said stop doing that. move away from the mat. this is not your thing. >> are you kidding, my body told me the same thing during pregnancy. interesting. thank you for that. and we want to thank our friends at fusion for introducing us to that mom, mrs. ramirez. and up next, hugh jackman is here and we have mary lambert performing live. stay with us. we have mary lambert performing live. stay with us. good morning, i'm kristen sze. we're live over breaking news in the south bay. a rescue is under way on mt. hamilton in santa clara county. the chp says a woman was trapped inside a car that flipped over. you can kind of see it there, after it went down a ravine yesterday afternoon. onstar alerted authorities but they had the wrong location, so the family helped find her using that find my phone app on the phone. so the car was located just this morning and you can see that white vehicle there. the woman is said to be alert but badly hurt, so what we saw were rescuers kind of clearing that brush there and you can just make out that there's somebody covered in blue. we don't know her condition right now, but obviously she's not able to walk as they continue this rescue. we'll continue to monitor the situation and bring you updates on abc7news.com. right now your morning commute with leyla. >> we also have a serious accident again here in vallejo. it is a new one, eastbound side of 780 at military west where it is a big rig involved with a couple other vehicles. one lane gets by. it is slow there. now, in the opposite direction we had an earlier fatality here westbound 780 at 80. that has cleared, all lanes now open. kristen. >> thanks a lot. we'll check out your forecast, kind of gray out first impressions are important. you've got to make every second count. banking designed for the way you live your life. so you can welcome your family home... for the first time. chase. so you can. hi, here's the forecast for the game t ♪ ♪ but the day i saw you at your door you opened up the things i should ♪ ♪ the things i should [ cheers and applause ] something a little bit different there from mary lambert. title song from the new album, "heart on my sleeve." saw her in macklemore. she is going to perform live in just a little bit. and a nice big red piano over there. >> action-packed morning. michael keaton is with us. returning to the spotlight with a big movie. called "birdman." it's generating serious buzz. >> he deserves it, he is fantastic. >> i can't wait to talk to him. you'll be doing that coming up. first to robin inside with a special friend. >> you said fantastic. who comes to mind?

especially when you've posed that question to the director. that's a really good question to ask. because it's so extraordinarily difficult. but once you see it, it's really the only way you could have made this movie. because it's as though when you -- at about a minute whatever, four, or seven, or whenever it hits you, you hear a door close behind you and now you're in and there's no turning back. you have seen it, you enter his mind and follow him through the story. that's probably the greatest piece of film making i've ever been involved with. >> and you did a great job. not going to jinx it. a lot of oscar buzz out there. thank you for coming. >> thank you. >> "birdman" opens nationwide on friday. a broader mix of energies, world needs which is why we are supplying natural gas, to generate cleaner electricity, that has around 50% fewer co2 emissions than coal. and why with our partner in brazil, we are producing a biofuel made from renewable sugarcane to fuel cars. let's broaden the world's energy mix, let's go. re discovering the real risks behind prop 46. it was written and paid for by the trial lawyers to make them millions... while, for the rest of us, health care costs go up. no wonder every major newspaper in the state opposes prop 46. they say 46 "overreached in a decidedly cynical way." it's a ploy "for trial lawyers to enrich themselves." and prop 46 has "too many potential drawbacks to be worth the risk." time to vote no on prop 46. . we are so happy or mary lambert here. she is releasing her debut full length album, "heart on my sleeve." and here she is with the first single. let's bring it.

into the deep south. and as always, ginger is tracking it. >> some thinking it's too early to see this out their back door. but two to three feet in pars of northern michigan, the upper peninsula there. and the snow, no longer the headline. it really is this, the frigid cold air. the wind chill in amarillo, is 1, denver, 16 below is what it feels like. and you're sitting pretty on the east coast, you're sighing, it's not here yet. you're in the mid 60s. you have one more day. and then the bottom drops out. the cold front comes through and by friday night, it feels like freezing and below. and, yes, we're getting there. but there's a winter weather advisory right there in colorado. and that is where we find our extreme team, rob marciano. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's snowing in down denver. but the buses are rolling through here. they can handle the snow. 5 to 8 inches. but that's not the story. it's record-breaking cold. right now it's 1 degree in denver. this storm as arctic blast has already hit the u.s. hard. the winter storm responsible for at least four deaths in minnesota. raging on this morning. with parts of the midwest buried under as much as 2 feet of snow. >> i hate to know what january and february hold for us. >> reporter: michigan's upper peninsula getting 24.5 inches. as residents from wisconsin -- >> this is early for this kind of snow. >> reporter: -- to nebraska, are scrambling to get out. while coping with a perilous commute -- >> be aware of surroundings at all times. >> reporter: you look around here and it's hard to believe that just two days ago, temperatures were in the 60s. today, we're not even going to get into the teens. a rude awakening for the winter season, no doubt about it and the folks living east and south of her will get a little taste of this tomorrow and through the week. from a snowy, larimer square, lara spencer, back to you. >> stay warm. it is happening. it's here. we want to turn to a landmark in space exploration that's happening right now. this is the first attempt to land a spacecraft on a comet millions of miles from earth. it's a mission that may help unlock some of the secrets of the universe and abc's clayton sandell is tracking the progress for us. >> reporter: good morning. right now mission control says everything is going just fine. we are now just hours away from a truly historic event as long as one small spacecraft can stick the landing. this morning, the do or die moment for a decade-long, nearly 4 billion mile space race. the spacecraft is very healthy. we've had right now a go from the flight control team. >> reporter: a seemingly impossible mission. a washing machine-size space probe trying to land on a comet about 2 1/2 miles wide, speeding close to 84,000 miles per hour. something that until today was hollywood science fiction. the spacecraft, known as rosetta, has been tracking through the cosmos since 2004. sling shotting through the solar system to catch up with a comet known as 67-b. rosetta's plan is to deploy a small craft on the surface and unlock the secrets of an ancient space rock. researchers believe it holds clues about the dawn of the solar system, maybe even life on earth. >> 4.5 billion-year-old time capsule, telling us, hey, what were conditions like when the earth itself was just forming. that's huge. >> reporter: rosetta is already picking up this mysterious, unexplained singing noise from the comet -- and sending back comet selfies, boldly going where not even captain kirk has gone before. >> higher. >> reporter: "star trek" legend, william shatner, even sending along his good wishes. >> good luck, rosetta. i'm so excited and wish you good luck. >> reporter: mission control will have to wait about 28 minutes to know if it landed okay. because that's how long it takes for the signal to get all of the way back to earth. and soon after that, we hope to get our first pictures ever from the surface of a comet. >> cannot wait for that. you knew you had to get "star trek" in there. thank you, clayton. and the bold robbery in manhattan. a jewelry store robbery, but the criminals escaped. tom llamas is here with the story. good morning, tom. >> reporter: good morning to you, george. this block is one of the jewelry capitals of the world. $24 billion in sales every year. that robbery happened just behind me. police say one of the crooks dressed as a delivery man, but it happened up on the eighth floor. so, how did these jewel thieves get away? one working theory, jumped rooftop to rooftop in a batman-like escape. a brazen heist in broad daylight in new york's diamond district. >> male robbed at gunpoint. >> reporter: as two heavily armed men storm into this building which houses a watch store on the eighth floor. one stays outside as a lookout, while the other holds several employees at gunpoint. this all happening on a crowded block at 2:30 p.m. >> weapons used is two handguns and a machine gun. >> reporter: with a veterans day parade taking place a block away the suspects held several employees at gunpoint, demanding one of them to open the safe. but while loading up a backpack with stolen goods, the store's owner arrived at work. >> he was outside. they were yelling at him to call police. at the time, they let him in and suspect number one hit him in the head with a firearm. >> reporter: suspects fled, while office workers were sealed in their offices. while coppers flu overhead, cops and k-9 units chased down leads on rooftops. this morning the suspects remain at large. but police say if you're going to monitor one of the busiest and heavily monitored places in the world, you shouldn't expect to be free for long. and it's still unclear exactly how much was stolen, but there are reports this morning it was in the millions. those two jewel thiefs, still at large. george? >> right in the middle of the parade downtown. it was crawling with cops. just incredible. >> thank you. turning now to the navy s.e.a.l. who claims to be the one who shot and killed osama bin laden. telling his story in a television interview. he revealed fascinating new details about the mission and what he did right before leaving. martha raddatz is in washington this morning. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning. former navy s.e.a.l. rob o'neill says he has thought about the mission every day since that may day in 2011, trying to figure out whether it was the worst thing he has ever done, or the best thing he has ever done. the mission, high risk. the command, take out the most wanted man in the world, osama bin laden. and rob o'neill wanted to be one of the ones to do it, no matter how dangerous. >> the analyst told me, if you want to get a shot at bin laden, he's on the third floor. so, i actually talked myself out of a team leader spot so i could stay on the helicopter, and then go to the roof, and then that was what they call the martyrs brigade. >> reporter: in a special on fox news channel overnight, o'neill acknowledged that the operation felt like a one-way mission, no one knowing if they would come back home, but all committed to the task. >> we're going to die eventually. this is a good way to go. and it's worth it to kill him, because he's going to die with us. >> reporter: and right before the mission was set to launch, a phone call to his father to say good-bye. >> i'm the last one he calls, and he's checking in. kind of thanking me for a lot of things. >> he told me later he was in his truck at the walmart down the street here. after i hung up the phone, he couldn't get out of his car for 20 minutes. >> there was something in the tone. >> o'neill even writing letters to his young children just in case. >> it was more of an explanation why we went, why it was noble, and why i am not afraid. it was sad. a few times the tears hit the pages. >> reporter: but when he came face-to-face with bin laden, he was thinking only of the mission, certain, he says, that his was the last face he saw before he fired the shots that killed the terrorist mastermind. and the letters to his kids, when he returned, he shredded them. >> lara and george? >> glad he shredded those letters. >> indeed. thank you so much. i want to get to today's other top stories with amy. good morning. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with the big news overnight from president obama's visit to china. the u.s. and china announcing a deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. president obama calling it a major milestone. but not everything went so smoothly at a news conference with china's president today. abc's jim avila was there. >> reporter: it was to end with ruffles and flourishes. toast to the landmark global warming agreement, but nearly overshadowed by a diplomatic snafu in front of the world press. >> we have agreed to take a question from the press. >> reporter: after weeks of trying, the u.s. got china to hold an extremely rare closing news conference, with one question from the american press, provocatively choosing the "the new york times," which has been battling with china over censorship and access to ask it. and the "times" reporter pulled no punches confronting president xi. but the chinese president did not immediately answer, abruptly turning to the chinese press, without even acknowledging the american question. reporters were stunned, as was obama who looked at the press corps with a shrug, that seemed to say, what am i going to do? after several minutes much to the relief of president obama and his aides, the chinese leader did finally answer, saying the united states needs to stay out of the hong kong situation, and "the new york times," he said, causes its own problems by not following chinese law. amy? >> all right. thank you. and banks breaking overnight, five major banks fined more than $3 billion to settle accusations they manipulated foreign exchange markets to boost profits. it was a slap on the wrist because they made a combined $337 billion last year. that fine actually equals just two days of revenue. missouri's governor announced preparations to keep the peace once the grand jury makes a giggs in the michael ground shooting case. after months of rationally charged protests, 1,000 police officers have received special training and the national guard will be on stand by. the grand jury decision on whether to charge ferguson police officer darren wilson for his death could come any day now. and a frantic scene in dallas, two city workers, breaking into the window of a truck. that was quickly sinking in a creek. their colleague was inside up to his neck in water. they cut his seat belt, pulled him out just in time. the man suffered a medical emergency before losing control of his truck. and finally, when you think of corn maze this time of year, it's supposed to be fun and games, good family fun, right? but take a look at this corn maze. do you see a problem with it? it's unbelievably complicated. it's the world's largest corn maze. it looks like a computer chip. >> it does. >> so 63 acres, hundreds of paths. and people keep getting lost and they're actually calling 911 for help. can you imagine? calling, hi, i'm in a corn maze. i don't know how to get out. i don't know how to tell you where i am. i can't get out. so the owners have made a decision to downsize. less complicated. this is fun. shouldn't be hard. not trying to trick people here. >> when you send people in that one, you don't to want see them come out. >> lara and i couldn't make it out of one that had two turns. >> yeah. >> that's bad. >> thank you, amy. turn now to new details about the death of robin williams. a new report reveals he may have been suffering from a form of dementia that may have caused hallucinations. mara schiavocampo has the story. >> reporter: abc news obtaining an autopsy report that reveals the comedian may have had a condition known as lewy body dementia. linked to hallucinations and unusual behaviors. williams was also diagnosed with parkinson's disease last november. >> the pathological line is a blurry line. >> reporter: according to the coroner's report, he was having a hard time sleeping and was restless. and the night before his body was discovered, he was acting strangely and reportedly placed several wrist watches in a sock, giving them to an undisclosed person as he was reportedly worried about the watches and wanted to keep them safe. the dementia is most often confirmed after death when looking at a person's brain tissue through a microscope. it can include unusual behaviors, trouble sleeping and visual hallucinations of animals or people. as well as slowed or rigid movement, similar to those with parkinson's. his autopsy report showed he had been prescribed multiple medications before his death, some that doctors say can exacerbate symptoms in lbd patients. williams also battled alcohol, drug addiction, and depression. >> there's a voice, and it's a little quiet voice, and it goes stop. >> reporter: though he had no drugs or alcohol in his stem when he died, experts feel he may have been in a fragile mental state. now some wonder if this newly revealed condition could have played a role, too. sources close to the williams family telling abc news correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation, but it was illuminating. for "good morning america," mara schiavocampo, abc news, new york. >> very sad. all right. now to some new details. it's a bizarre story out of colorado. a man stuck in a wall at a department store for three days. workers there say they heard his cries for help, but they had no idea where the noise was coming from. reena ninan is here with all of the details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. people come to marshall's for the deep discounts. one man dropped in and officials say he is very lucky the way it all ended out. it's the dramatic moment a colorado man is rescued from inside this department store wall after being trapped for nearly three days. >> he was desperate to get out of there. >> reporter: police say they're still investigating why 35-year-old paul fellick was at this marshall's department store in longmont, and how he ended up stuck. police say he entered the building through the roof, and fell 20 feet through a vent into the exterior and interior walls approximately 2 feet by 8 feet. >> as far as we know, no water, no communication, no food. >> reporter: store employees telling police, they heard his cries for help on monday, but couldn't figure out where the sounds were coming from, eventually alerting authorities a day later. >> we hear a guy screaming and screaming in the back. >> he's outside, but sounds like he's inside, correct? >> and he was screaming like he was in pain. >> reporter: first responders locating the spot where he was trapped before a dozen of them equipped with sledge hammers and a circular saw, made a hole large enough for him to crawl through. finally free, he was taken to a nearby hospital. he's currently in fair condition. >> i don't think he would have been able to survive through tonight. >> reporter: authorities are still trying to figure out how he got into the crawl space from the roof. and the big question, why did he do it? police say they'll investigate the incident as a trespassing case. >> strange thing. thanks very much. >> yeah. and to ginger now, the words we have been seeing all week. >> all week. and they're finally here. it's starting to move to the south and east, that deep freeze. places like dallas this morning, waking up at the freezing mark. the earliest freeze dallas

>> working with bennett miller. he directed "moneyball" and "capote," and he is particular about the types of things he gets involved in. i figured if he's in, i am all in. >> he said this role was outside of your comfort zone. >> yeah. oh, for sure. i don't think i was on anybody's list for this kind of part. i wasn't campaigning for it. apparently my agent submitted my name and gave him pause and he thought about it. and he sent me the script, and we met, and he offered me the part, so -- >> and you said the chance to work with him is all i need. >> huge. yeah. and the fact -- and i didn't know if i could do it, but the fact he thought i could, was enough. >> it was clear you could do it, and this story has so many different layers to it. i was struck by how much of the story is told without any dialogue at all and the looks and the glances. >> it's very spare. yeah. it's very economical, and in the pauses. there's a sense that you get from the movie. and i think bennett is really adept at that in particular. >> the "new yorker" calls your nose the fourth main character in the film. >> yes. >> and you know, you have some good company there. our crack research team found out, did, you know, that there are actually three other oscar winners who won with fake noses?

and parishionors want to do. they say the church will have new life. water from fire hoses dripping from the roof that caved in like tears falling over the large crucifix still standing, pristine. untouched by these flames that roared through this century old church on sunday. a fire so hot it devoured the roof, collapsing the two spires. through it all the cross survived. >> we have been able to rescue the cross of jesus, jesus dead on the cross. this is the experience of jesus being dead for three days. >> reporter: today, fire crews carefully lifted the crucifix from the altar and brought it outside, resting it on the church driveway. it was a challenge the urban search and rescue team was called in to help. >> they have special knowledge so they were able to get that cross

is dead after a car hit a pillar and another vehicle, then caught fire in a san jose parking garage. happened this morning just across the street from santa clara county superior court. firefighters say the driver couldn't get out of the vehicle before it started burning. the fire spread to three other cars before it was put out. investigators are considering the possibility that the driver may have suffered a medical emergency before the crash. san mateo police have released a sketch of a suspicious man they say approached a woman outside an adult school last week. take a good look at this man. they say he offered her money to leave with him. they say he was driving a dark blue, maybe a black foreign sedan. if you recognize him, call the san mateo police immediately. beginning today, drivers will have to pay $1 to park at the coliseum oakland airport b.a.r.t. station. the hayward b.a.r.t. station is now the only one that still has free parking and there will be a $1 fee there starting monday, december 8th. b.a.r.t. says revenue from the new fees will be used to improve access and upgrade its stations. after several injuries from trees falling during storms or even just light rain, really, in san francisco, there is a move now under way to change who is responsible. >> one supervisor wants to set aside millions of dollars for the city to take over care and inspection of those streetside trees. >> abc 7 news reporter lyanne melendez is live at city hall with this story. >> reporter: you won't see this on the ballot until late 2015/early 2016 but the idea is for the city to maintain the trees and not homeowners. now, for that, you need of course millions of dollars and the department of public works has been cutting what it spends on its maintenance programs of trees. now, we want to show you, this is what happens when you don't properly maintain these trees. just a few days ago, several ficus trees fell or their branches broke off after a day of rain. some of these trees are old, they are top-heavy and weak. public works has only ten arborists to take care of all the sidewalk and park trees in the city. so homeowners are usually responsible for maintaining trees in front of their houses. san francisco's supervisor is working to hammer out a plan that would allocate between $20 million and $30 million a year to maintain and plant more trees along with repairing those sidewalks damaged by these trees. >> we have dedicated funding for trees that would be explicitly conditioned on the city taking back full responsibility for street tree maintenance and for repairing sidewalk damage caused by trees. that should not be the responsibility of homeowners. >> reporter: a working group would decide where the money would come from. perhaps a parcel tax. then it would be up to the city attorney's office to put it on the ballot. now, keep in mind just to replace one of those ficus trees costs the city between $500 and $1500. live in san

documented. >> and when asked about the medication he used over his long career, he avoided a straightforward answer saying quote, i have forgotten half of my life when i was a player. open enrollment is under way for those who would like to get health insurance under the affordable care act or obamacare. >> now is the time. 7 on your side's michael finney has opened the phone banks to get your questions answered tonight. he is live in the 7 on your side production office. michael? >> this has helped so many people. we want to make it easy as possible. joining me to talk about the sign-up this year is dana howard, deputy director of communications and public relations for cover california. is it different this year than last year? what do you want to see people do? >> what we want to see people do of course is enroll. open enrollment started on october 15th. it's going to go until february 15th. that's only three months. last open enrollment it was six months. this time it will be much shorter. we want people to start getting in there now. take a look around, start shopping for a plan. then contact a certified enrollment counselor or certified insurance agent. we have a dozen certified enrollment counselors here now that can answer questions and help you make that decision about what plan will be best for you. >> last year there were problems in getting through on the phone lines because so many people were calling. is there going to be that problem this year? >> i think there is always going to be a wait when a lot of people are calling, especially if you are waiting until the last minute to try to get yourself enrolled. we have added about 500, 600 more folks on the phones this year. that's a lot of folks but still, there is going to be that wait time in there. to avoid that, i would not call on a monday morning. call later during the week and maybe call very first thing in the morning or later on in the afternoon. >> great advice. dana howard, deputy director of communications and public relations for cover california, thank you very much for joining us today. you can call us right now if you wish at 415-954-7621. we will be here up until 8:00.

your side offices, i'm michael finney. >> fantastic. >> great resource. spencer's great resource on our weather. >> one of the best. let's go outside for the forecast. >> thank you. i appreciate that. interesting weather is coming our way this week, much like last week. lots of changes. here's live doppler 7 hd. at the moment, we have passing high clouds and lots of areas of blue sky but the passing high clouds will continue during the overnight hours. here's a nice view from the rooftop camera looking southeastward across the embarcadero and over the bay. this is -- these are the forecast features, i should say. it will be chilly in the inland valleys again tonight. maybe not quite as cold as last night but pretty chilly. high clouds and sun tomorrow and chances of rain wednesday through saturday. i will go to the radar satellite composite image showing the next system approaching us may bring us some rainfall. looks like we have a dome of dry air that is -- that system is going to meet as it pushes inland. let's take a look at our forecast animation starting 5:00 tomorrow morning, at which point we will still have just a few passing high clouds but clouds will increase during the day tomorrow and then into wednesday morning, looks like a chance of showers developing mainly in the north bay, and this doesn't look like much of a rain-making system but it will produce some wet spots into the midday hours wednesday and into wednesday night, light spotty showers. we will see it all tapering off. rainfall totals by wednesday night, 11:00, will be mainly up to a quarter inch in the north bay mountains where we expect most of the rain to fall, and the remainder of the bay area may see anywhere from no measurable rain to only five hundredths of an inch. it won't be significant at all unless it starts to intensify. current indications there it won't be that big a deal. 11:00 wednesday night, into thursday afternoon, we have more chances of rain. thursday into saturday, saturday morning looks like another mainly north bay or just below the golden gate rainfall event for us. that tapers off saturday night so the weather is unsettled for the next few days but doesn't look like we can expect a lot of rain on those days when we do get the rain. overnight, look for mid 30s in the north bay valleys, 35 at napa, 36 at santa rosa and upper 40s most other locations. then tomorrow, increasing high clouds filtered sunshine, we call it. high temperatures range from mid 60s at the coast to upper 60s to near 70 right around the bay. upper 60s to maybe some low 70s inland but it won't be very mild tomorrow, just a little milder than today. remainder of the week, it will be cooler than tomorrow's weather with those chances of showers on wednesday, rain likely thursday. mostly cloudy and dry on friday, chance of rain again on saturday and partly cloudy on sunday and mainly sunny on monday. the temperatures will stay in rather steady range. tomorrow could be the mildest day of the next seven. dan and ama? >> thank you, spencer. wipes and waste. the disposable wipes that help you clean have a messy secret. tonight at 7:00, eric
