And a million spectators took the marathon back. I think we took it back. But first, the nightline top five, which starts right now. Hey have you ever tried honey nut cheerios . Love em. Neat now you on the other hand. You need some help. Why . Look atchya. What is that . You mean my honey wand . [ shouting ] [ splat ] come on. Matter of fact. [ rustling ] shirt. Shoes. Shades. Ah wow now that voice. My voice . [ autotuned ] whats wrong with my voice . Yeah man, bee got swag be happy be healthy thats gotta go too. Hey must be the honey [ sparkle ] sweet. Good evening and thanks for joining us. Imagine changing your entire selfie image with the click of a button. Want to look slimmer, prettier, even younger . 90 of teens today say theyve posted selfies online, where perfection is just a filter away. But some are taking the quest to even bigger extremes, striving to look airbrushed in real life. Heres abcs cecilia vega. Reporter this is how americans are spending their time. Taking pictures of themselves all day every day. And like millions of people, triana levy thank you. Reporter loves taking selfies. We took selfies outside, and theyre super cute. Reporter but she doesnt always love the results. Im feeling like i look a little pale in these pictures. Reporter so to get the perfect picture she just uses an iphone app. Filter i like to use is actually just natural. Its a really subtle difference, and it just kind of smooths out your face. I love to try on new looks. Reporter the perfect 365 app lets you airbrush your selfie. One tap to try hot new styles. Reporter and become an instant cover girl. The art of the selfie has created a whole industry of smartphone apps to help you look your best. Think you look too fat . Try skinny pics. Dull skin or blemishes, face tune can clear that right up. And what if you just plain hate the photo came out . Like these cats in a pixter ad, dont worry, it can all be fixed. Your social Media Presence is just as important as your real life presence. Reporter triana hated the way she looked online so, she decided to take her selfie makeover a step further, opting for Plastic Surgery. Im going to be a supermodel reporter specifically, a nose job and a chin implant. With the help of this Beverly Hills doctor, richard ellenbogen. I dont want to make the nose too small but do i want to make it straightened. At what point are you going to be well enough to post these new pictures on facebook . As soon as dr. Ellenbogen tells me im camera ready. Reporter we first met triana two years ago in los angeles. I want to talk to you about this project. Reporter it was hard to see the flaws nagging at her but she told us she didnt like the face staring back at her during skype chats. Okay. Thanks. Take care. Ill talk to you soon. Reporter or in facebook pictures. Ten years ago i dont think i even noticed that i had a weak chin. Reporter she tried to change the camera angle, even untagged photos she didnt like. But none of it was enough. My darn chin just bugs the living daylights out of me in this photo. Kind of the first thing that i look for in a photo is how does my chin look, which is really weird. Reporter so she decided to get a chin implant. When you do a chin, sometimes you have to do a little bit more than that to balance the face and the chin. Reporter but it didnt stop there. Dr. Ellenbogen recommended triana get additional procedures like fat grafting and a nose job, up to sa worth of surgery. Though triana is a family friend of dr. Ellenbogen so she got a discount. Sounds like youre going to an extreme to you think its extreme . People might say surgery, its a huge commitment. To me Plastic Surgery should be a lastditch effort. After youve worked out. After youve had good discipline in your diet and exercise. Then you go to surgery. Oh, wow. Reporter we were there the day of trianas surgery. Im getting very excited. Starting to border on nervous. So im ready to get going. Okay. Ready to rock and roll. This is going to be her cheekbone. This is her chin implant. It curves around the side a little bit. Its a rounded one thats very soft. Its not pointed for her face. Reporter it took two hours for all the nips and tucks. You look good. Very good. Very nice. You happy with everything . Im thrilled. Reporter a week later she was bruised but pleased. Still a little bit swollen. But just perfect. Reporter a month after her surgery she was thrilled. Hello. Hi. Hi, cecilia. Hey, triana. Welcome. Wow. Oh, my gosh. You look different. Reporter after all that surgery her new face was complete. Here is the quintessential profile shot. Which before you never would have put on. I never would have put that on because my little chin would have been looking like a little turtle. Reporter it may seem extreme. But for triana all of this wasnt just an ego boost. Taking a good selfie has become a highstakes business that can turn just about anyone into an instalebrity. Today this business, moving at the speed of the internet, your selfie is your head shot. So you can reinvent yourself every single day with simply your iphone. Reporter as a senior Talent Manager at the youfluencer group she manages the careers of rising internet stars like nicole guerrero, Online Makeup guru. Their social Media Presence and their use of selfies on instagram is a huge Marketing Tool that they have at their fingertips. Reporter there are companies devoted to finding the next big star online. And the ad dollars they can bring in. Hoping they can pick out the next jen selter, who became famous for her provocative posterior selfies. Today triana is still happy. I now have the face that ive always thought that i had. I feel like i still look like myself but photoshopped. Reporter but in a quest for the picture perfect face she is not done with medical enhancements. Since the last time youve seen me i actually had to have corrective very small corrective surgery on my nose, and i had a little but the more fat grafting. And botox is to me a necessity. Its kind of like in my bills, like rent, food, gasoline, medical insurance, botox. Its like a standard. Reporter ironically, triana feels selfieenhancing apps actually can make people insecure about the way they look in real life. It skews our perception of how we should look. I think it is making ourselves hold ourselves to a much higher unrealistic standard. Reporter but triana believes there is nothing wrong with trying to look her best. Not everybody is born beautiful. And if you can get a little help from an app or from a nip tuck or from an instagram filter, then more power to you. Reporter for nightline im cecilia vega in los angeles. Up next, hiding in the bathroom or climbing into a box . Stowaways invent all kinds of creative ways to fly without a plane ticket. But may still pay a price. [ terri ] my antidepressant worked hard to help with my depression. But sometimes, i still struggled to get going, even get through the day. So i was honest with my doctor. I told him id been feeling stuck for a long time. He said that for some people, an antidepressant alone only helps so much and suggested we add Abilify Aripiprazole . He said that by taking both, some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. I wish id talked to my doctor sooner. [ female announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. Call your doctor if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. Antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and young adults. Elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. Call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles and confusion to address a possible lifethreatening condition. Or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. High blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. Other risks include increased cholesterol, weight gain, decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness on standing, seizures, trouble swallowing and impaired judgment or motor skills. [ terri ] since adding abilify, i feel better. Abilify and my antidepressant make a pretty good team. [ female announcer ] ask your doctor about a free trial of abilify and go to addabilify. Com.

And though they are all different, they Work Together on a Single Mission saving lives. Discover how we are advancing medicine at kp. Org join us, and thrive. Its a journey that has authorities baffled. Exactly how did a 15yearold kid manage to evade security in a busy american airport and hitch a ride on the wheels of a jumbo jet over the weekend . Chances of survival are so slim. And yet hes not the only stowaway whos made headlines. So we decided to take you inside the wheel well of a jetliner to see just how miraculous his story of survival truly is. Boarding a plane is one of modern lifes more undignified ordeals. The security line. The patdowns. And those bothersome baggies. If only we could somehow skip it all. Well, we might fantasize. Others have given it a try. Most recently yesterday, when a 15yearold boy breached the security fence at San Jose International airport and apparently climbed into the wheel well of a Hawaiian Airlines flight to maui. Experts say he was lucky to survive. But hes not the first. There was b. J. Avril. In the end it did come down to brains. Reporter before using his smarts to win the amazing race, he made a really stupid decision. In 1999 this scrawny harvard sophomore arrived too late to board a flight home. So he jumped a boarding line at bostons airport, hiding in the planes tiny bathroom. I wasnt going to stay there the whole time. I was going to wait until it took off. Reporter but avrils plan hit a snag. Just before takeoff other passengers tipped off a flight attendant. Then theres the case of charles mckinley. I was nervous, scared, and i was coughing. Reporter instead of buying an Airline Ticket the former shipping clerk brazenly boxed himself in a crate and shipped himself home on the companys dime. Passing through tsa security not once but twice. Is this the size that he fit into . No. Reporter my abc crew is about to give me a lesson in flying cargo class. Thats the crate . Reporter in a small pine box like this one. The things i do for my job. All right. Lets give it a shot. You really have to do you mind if i put the lid on . I guess not. Why do i feel like im going to regret that decision . Kind of sticking out. Yes, it is. Im going to cry. Are you ready to come out . That is deeply claustrophobic and creepy. Reporter aviation consultant jay joseph believes mckinley cheated death. If youre stowing away in a crate, youre gambling with your life. You really are on your own. Reporter according to an faa study on stowaways, yes, it happens often enough to keep statistics. 76 of stowaway passengers have died in transit. But believe it or not, whats more common sneaking into the wheel well, like that 15yearold california teen did yesterday. It usually doesnt end well. Weve come across what looks like a dead body. Reporter the overwhelming majority of stowaway cases involve people from developing countries fleeing desperate situations to make their way to europe or north america. The man whose body was found in a street in west london has been identified. Reporter with no heat, no oxygen, and no pressurization, its often a oneway ticket to the afterlife. Like this horrifying image of a 14yearold stowaway caught unwittingly on camera falling out of a plane taking off from australia. When the wheels come down, youre falling out. Reporter at 18,000 feet aviation experts say hypoxia or oxygen deprivation sets in. Best Case Scenario someones going to become lightheaded. Reporter at 22,000 feet with no pressurization the lungs have trouble functioning. Its tough to maintain consciousness. Youre going to have a loss of faculties, thought processes. Reporter and at 35,000 feet hypothermia would set in as the temperature can drop as low as minus 81 degrees fahrenheit. Certainly this would be the only location that somebody could position themselves such that they would not be crushed bit landing gear during the retraction just right here. Thats right. Have you ever flown before . No. Never been on an airplane before. I couldnt even get on a roller coaster. Reporter but somehow jeanette washingtons 16yearold he son davonte tisdale ended up in in the wheel well of a Us Airways Flight from charlotte bound for boston. What did they tell you . They had found his body in boston, massachusetts and there was something about a plane. He literally came crashing down into a street in a suburb of boston. His body was in such bad shape the only way his dad could identify his body was because of waves in his hair. Reporter investigators in massachusetts discover a palm print in the left wheel of a Us Airways Plane. His clothing shows signs of airplane grease. And his body was found in the direct flight of the planes path. Security cameras never spot delvonte inside the airport. But outside, just yards away from where that Us Airways Plane took off, there was this glaring breach of airport security. And this is literally our weakest link. We sent investigators down. They said you know, theres a hole in the fence. Security was awful. Reporter but what if delvonte was a different kind of stowaway . What if he was a terrorist . What if he had a bomb . Literally, its a 100yard dash from here to that runway. Reporter in january i went down to charlotte, the ninth Busiest Airport in this country, to see what, if anything, had changed. This razor wire on top is new evidently. Thats my understanding. Thats correct. Reporter but if someone were determined to penetrate this fence in charlotte, the experts we talked to believe there would be plenty of time to do it. Weve been out on the perimeter fence for about 45 minutes. Finally somebody from the Airport Authority came by. In some airports youd be arrested within minutes. Reporter so this is part of the faa regulations, keeping the perimeter secure. Yes. Reporter even more alarming, keating says only 17 of the nations airport perimeters have been assessed by Homeland Security in the past year. In so many places in this country you can look out the window, look at the perimeter, and say this doesnt make any sense. Reporter still, a grieving mother cant help but wonder why her son made such a tragic decision, stowing away in an airplane. Its hard. Its hard to think about what could have been. All i know is hes gone way too early. Reporter though many questions remain, another set of parents tonight are counting their blessings. Their son given a second chance. And next up, 36,000 marathoners, a million spectators, and a whole lot of hometown heroism at the Boston Marathon today. Where youve learned youa thing or two.

[ barks ] whoo mmm oh, yeah [ whistling ] [ male announcer ] discover your new orleans. Start exploring at followyournola. Com. [ woman ] and i love new orleans one year after the Boston Marathon fell victim to terrorism, the city was in the spotlight again. But this time as a symbol of resilience, showing what it means to be boston strong. My nightline coanchor dan harris is there. What a rush to watch 36,000 smiling people. 9,000 more than last year. Pour over the starting line. Secure in the knowledge that there were 4,000 cops out there with dogs checking bags, riding in choppers, and generally making sure this was the safest place on earth today. Today is the day youre going to be okay. Reporter joe and natalie stavis were raring to go. Theyre a fatherdaughter team, both doctors. And last year they were about to finish when the bombs went off. They stopped running and started helping people. Why is it so important to you to run again this year . We just didnt finish what we set out to do. Reporter today some of the survivors bravely returned to the finish line, including jeff bauman, from this iconic shot in those horrible moments after he lost his legs and was rescued by a stranger in a cowboy hat. There he was today, pounding fists with his rescuer and now friend, carlos arredondo. Heather abbott, who lost her lower left leg, was here too. She put on a prosthetic blade and ran the last half mile alongside a woman who helped save her life that day. And then there was celeste corcoran, who lost both legs while waiting to see her sister cross the finish line. After an agonizing year during which we saw her comforted by a marine double amputee youre going to be more independent, you know, than you ever were. Reporter she was back today, not only to witness her sister finish but to finish right alongside her. I just had to see her cross. Reporter its worth noting heroism came in many forms today. Boston strong way to go reporter there were an estimated 1 million spectators, double the average, including this guy, who we watched cheering runners nonstop for hours. Thank you. Great job. Great job, runners way to go, guys you did it you did it way to go reporter as for natalie and joe stavis congratulations. Reporter they finally completed some personal business, crossing that finish line they never crossed last year. I think its safe to say that you guys and 36,000 other people and a million speck taitators t the marathon back. I think we took it back. I think so. There were a lot of people supporting us and a lot of people that brought memories from the past and i think were able to close that chapter, and were moving on. Reporter couldnt agree more. All in all, a great day in my hometown. For nightline this is dan harris in boston. And thanks for watching abc news. World news now is coming up soon with overnight breaking news.
