Watch as the muscles from brussels is perfectly poised between two big rigs in a stunt that has the whole world watching. Dont split before you see what happens. And good morning, america. So much to get to on this friday morning. Check out these live pictures from tampa. That massive sinkhole continues to spread. 50 feet deep now. You see two houses right on the edge there. Theyre in so much trouble. In fact what theyre going to do today, is push those houses in the hole and cover them with sand. One resident interest there is saying it looks like a meteor. It sure does right there. Its so much bigger today than it was at this time yesterday. And we have a heartwarming story for you on this tgif. The entire city of San Francisco coming together to fulfill one little boys wish to turn into yes, batman. It takes thousands. A fantastic story. Theyre all helping miles, 5 years old, become a superhero today. I love how the whole city is coming together for that. Well share that later. First, the president s apology on health care. Saying he shoulders the responsibility for its failures. Abcs Jonathan Karl live in washington this morning with the very latest on all of this. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin. It was president obama like we have never seen him before. Bluntly acknowledging the failures of his health care rollout. And admitting he didnt quite know what caused it to go so wrong. A deflated president obama is taking blame for the botched rollout of his Health Care Law, declaring repeatedly, its on me. I do make apologies for not having executed better. Thats on me. Thats something i deeply regret. We did fumble the ball on it. I feel deeply responsible. Reporter he conceded that he has not kept his promise, that anybody who wanted to keep their health insurance, would be able to. I completely get how upsetting this can be for a lot of americans. Particularly after assurances they heard from me that, if they had a plan they liked, they could keep it. Reporter he vowed to change the rules to fix that. Those americans who have had their insurances policies canceled, he said he will allow Insurance Companies to offer the old policies to them for one more year. Its not clear the fix will work, though. It is up to state Insurance Commissioners to implement the change. And already one state, washington, has declared the president s fix is unworkable. The president s most heartfelt mea culpa, went to fellow democrats, who have been burned politically, by the problems plaguing the Affordable Care act. I feel deeply responsible for making it harder for them, rather than easier for them. Reporter we now know that even before the website launched, it had failed internal tests, showing it was just not ready. But the president said nobody told him that. Had i been informed, i wouldnt be going out saying, boy, this is going to be great. Reporter theres more at stake here for the president than just health care. He acknowledged that he had to win back his credibility. But the first and most important step in doing that, is convincing the american people, including some of his closest political allies, that he can now get the Health Care Law right. George . Thats the big question. Jon karl, thanks very much. Lets take it to our political analyst, matthew dowd. Boy, the white house knew the president had to go out there and take his licks yesterday. We never saw him do it the way he did it. But did he do enough to begin the recovery . No. I think hes going to accomplish the opposite of what he wanted to do. I think what hes going to have done, hes going to burden his friends and bolster his opponents in the course of this. I think hes provided an opportunity and a window to give his opponents much more room to maneuver in this. And it gives his people that support him, very hard difficulty defending him. 6 i think hes done the exact opposite than what he wanted to do. Modern president s have had so much trouble in their second terms. You served with president george w. Bush. Of course everyone remembers what happened with katrina. Once those questions about his competence took hold, his second term never really recovered. Is president obama in that kind of a position right now . I think what we could look at in two years or three years from now, i think this is probably a Tipping Point in the credibility of his presidency. The same exact think as you say, happened to george w. Bush. It was a series of things. And katrina, which is different than obama care. But at that point in time, the presidency and the relevancy of his presidency was over. I think thats what were seeing right now for president obama. No other president , no president s recover when they get this low, ever recover in the course of their presidencies. And if historys any guide, hes going to have a very difficult time recovering. The argument is, if the website is fixed by the end of the month, if people start to sign up and health care works, his signature achievement pays off. Well, thats a big as you know, thats a huge if. And i think most people expect its not going to be fixed by the end of this month. And i think its all an implementation. This is not a communications problem. This is a governing problem. And that puts a huge weight on him. Every time theres a problem, hes going to get blamed. And he cant communicate his way out of it. All about the execution. Matthew dowd, thanks very much. Much more of the fallout sunday on this week. Lets get the other top stories from josh. Were going to begin with breaking news from the gulf coast. An explosion at the Chevron Oil Refinery in mississippi just outside of biloxi. A fire interrupted overnight. Flames visible for miles.

The entire town of milford, texas, had to be evacuated because of this explosion and resulting inferno thursday. Workers at a drilling site struck a pipeline there by accident. We move, now, to florida. We saw the scene here at the top of the show. A massive sinkhole growing, as homes collapse into it. Its all near tampa. And it is forcing many evacuations. Abcs Steve Osunsami is there right now with some very, very nervous local residents. Steve . Reporter good morning, josh. Authorities here arent wasting any time. Theyve already got dump trucks on the way. One of them here. And theyre tearing down the fence in front of these two homes, in front of the hole, preparing to push these homes into the hole and cover it with sand. This whole affair has frightened residents in this neighborhood. Its a big one. 70 feet wide, 50 feet deep. Swallowed a swimming pool. Nearly swallowed a boat. Seven families rushed from their homes in florida. It looks like a meteor hit it. Or the earth just opened up. Reporter Michael Dupree said his family was asleep and called the police when they heard the sound of the sinkhole swallowing their home. How far is it sinking . Its just cracking. The whole house and the floors are cracking. Reporter they ran for their lives. He left his wedding ring behind. Firefighters went back inside to find it. They broke in the window in the back, before it came down. Grabbed it and got it for me. Reporter this morning, authorities believe it has stopped growing. They knew the sinkhole was here two years ago. The family had been fighting with their Insurance Company on how to fix it. And contractors had just started the work this week. It was really loud. We thought maybe it was someone trying to break in. Reporter in march, a seffner, florida, homeowner was killed in his bed, buried alive. In august, vacationers outside orlando were scared silly when their villa started falling into the ground. This year alone, florida residents have reported more than 255 sinkholes. Josh . Remarkable stuff. Steve, thank you for that. Also in florida, in fact, a dramatic rescue. A woman drove into a pond and quickly began sinking. And she could not escape her car. But a group of strangers nearby. They didnt think twice. They backed their truck up, reached in and pulled her out, you see here, just as her car filled with water. Overseas, meanwhile, the death toll in the philippines disaster zone skyrockets overnight. It now tops 3,600 people. Nearly 1 million have lost their homes. While more u. S. Military helicopters are arriving, finally getting some food and water to the hardesthit areas. But it comes one week after the monster typhoon hit. And finally the big highlight from the Guinness World records day. Dont knock it until you say it. The guy you see here set a record for the number of bottles walked on. He made it across 60 champagne bottles without flinching, for some reason. Well, congratulations. The better world record here, was this. Take a look. Longestever basketball shot. A harlem globetrotter rookie named corey law, from 1099. Its impressive. Had anybody been watching in 1985 from westchester park, i hit it from at least 300 feet. At least. Any video . I just dont have the proof. Going down. I promise. It was a simpler time, 1985. Thank you, there, josh. We appreciate it. Now, to the embattled mayor of toronto, rob ford.

But then, after coming completely clean in one final mea culpa last week i have nothing left to hide. Reporter latenight comedians are having a field day.
