As flyers are furious. The epic promposal gone viral. Miss america at a High School Assembly. She turned him down and he got suspended. Why shes speaking out defending him this morning. And good morning, to our viewers in the west. Youre looking right now at the starting line of hopkinton, massachusetts. It started one minute ago, at 7 00 a. M. Pacific, 10 00 eastern. The security will be tight. But he doesnt want the 26. 2mile route to be a militarized zone. And theyre expecting so many more runners. 10,000, to be exact. More than last year on this patriots day in boston. Boston strong. Lets get to the breaking story for our viewers in the west. A teenage boy stowed away in the wheel well to hawaii on sunday. Is surviving that flight humanly possible . David kerley joins us with the latest. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, george. This is a long flight from california to hawaii and at high altitude. Its an unbelievable story almost of survival and a potentially terrifying breach of security. This morning, the fbi says a 16yearold boy hitched a 2,300mile ride across the pacific in the wheel well of a packed plane, despite a lack of oxygen at 38,000 feet and temperatures far below zero. The juvenile was approached by Airline Personnel and asked him what he was doing out on the apron. He wasnt too cooperative. Reporter overnight, the fbi telling abc news, security footage shows the boy hopping a fence at the san jose airport sunday morning. They say he then hid in the unprotected, unpressurized wheel well of Hawaiian Airlines flight 45, passing out once the flight got to altitude because of a lack of oxygen. Incredibly, they say he stayed there throughout the 5 1 2hour flight and didnt come to until an hour after the plane landed at maui airport. They say ground crews called authorities when they saw the boy Walking Around on the tarmac. Authorities say doctors checked him out and despite being subjected to temperatures 50 degrees below zero he appeared to be just fine. Unless, this is a first in medical science and a first if physiology, somebody surviving a 35,000 or higher for 5 hours with no supplementary oxygen, i just dont believe it. Reporter according to the fbi, the boy emerged from the plane to a dumbfounded ground crew and at the maui airport has video of him crawling out of the left main gear area. I dont believe the kid was in the wheel well. Thats all it comes down to. If he was theres only two ways he could have survived, that is with some methodology of pressure breathing oxygen. And secondly he would have to have some sort of an exposure suit against minus degree fahrenheit temperatures. Reporter remarkably there is another way according to the faa which says there have been two cases in the past in which stowaways have survived highaltitude flights. The explanation, the lack of oxygen leads to a gradual unconsciousness. Then the hypothermia from the cold temperatures preserves the nervous system. Hibernation basically. Its amazing, george. I guess. Okay, david. Thanks very much. Dr. Richard besser is here. Youre shaking your head in that explanation from the faa. Basically at that altitude, there are two things that happen to your body, both of which are usually fatal. One is called hypoxia. At that high altitude, your body is not getting the oxygen it needs to survive. You pass out almost immediately and die within a few minutes. The other is hypothermia and we talk about it every winter. At that height, minus 50 degrees youll freeze to death. For five hours. For five hours. The chances someone could survive this . Well, its near impossible. But the faa reported on this before. And basically what david was talking about, this idea of hibernation. With hibernation, we see it in animals. Breathing goes down to a couple times a minute, their heartbeat a couple times a minute. Its possible you slow down enough, your body doesnt need as much oxygen and you could survive but its near impossible. Its almost miraculous and maybe as were hearing maybe theres more to the story. Theres got to be more to the story. Okay, richard besser, thanks very much. Now to the Boston Marathon. One year later. The city and many people there hoping that this race this year will help them move past the horrors of last year. Security ramped up, as you can imagine. And police on high alert. Local boston strong, dan harris is there at the starting line. I know you went there as a child and youre there again with us this morning. Good morning, dan. Reporter robin, good morning to you. From hopkinton, a little town outside of boston, traditionally the start of the Boston Marathon. Behind me, the runners have been taking off in waves for a little more than an hour now. This will continue for several more hours. The message were hearing from so many people today is that this race is about showing the world, you can knock us down, but not for long. And theyre off. The 118th Boston Marathon. A race dedicated to those who lost their lives in last years bombing. And beneath it all, a feeling of resolve. Its a symbolic gesture that were not going to cower to the specter of terrorism. Reporter last year trauma surgeon dr. David king ran the marathon then heard about the attacks and went straight to mass General Hospital to treat the wounded. He is running again today. Having such an intimate relationship and shared so many remarkable moments with my patients and not want to run for them to celebrate their recovery, i cant imagine not doing it. Reporter there will be Extraordinary Security this year. In a show of both faith and defiance theyre expecting a million spectators, double the average. There will also be 9,000 more runners than last year, for a total of 36,000, making this the secondlargest race in the marathons history. Six mass general nurses all of whom treated victims are running this year, too, many of them for the first time. Its going to be very emotional. I mean, the emotions just of last week have, like, quadrupled. Were all really proud of each other for doing it. Reporter jeff bauman, who we all remember from this iconic picture in those horrible moments after he lost his legs and was rescued by a stranger in a cowboy hat, plans to spend this marathon monday with family. He is now walking on prosthetics. And his fiancee is expecting a baby. I just treat every day like its kind of like my last. And i try to do everything i can. Reporter it is hard to overstate the importance of the marathon to bostonians. As a little boy it went by my house. My dad ran it many times. Last year the attack was an attack on all of us. As we said, security is going to be intense this year. But Officials Say they dont want to spoil one thing that so many people cherish about this race. Thats the intimacy. Anybody can walk up to pretty much any point in this 26. 2mile route. And see for themselves, with no ticket, one of the greatest sporting events on earth. Robin, back to you. Dan, thank you.

Rallying those fighters, threatening to strike the united states. This is one of the most dangerous al qaeda affiliates. Reporter it is, george. The chairman of the Homeland Security committee calls this branch of al qaeda the greatest external threat to the homeland itself. Almost every major attack or attempted attack emanated from this group in recent years, including the socalled underwear bomber, who attempted to bring down an airliner in 2009. I know there have been some reports of this operation may still ongoing. But your latest information, its not . Reporter the latest information i have from the yemeni official said it is over.
