In february of 1945 Associated Press Photographer Joe Rosenthal snapped this iconic pulitzer prizewinning photo. But he didnt have time to get the names of the men in it. That was left to the marines. Now it turns out they didnt get it quite right. Heres david martin. Reporter raising the flag on iwo jima. Possibly the most famous photograph in american history. Certainly the most famous in marine corps history. In todays terms, says retired marine colonel mary reinwald, it went viral and sd when you see that picture and you see the American Flag and the framing of that picture and it shows victory, it shows the fighting spirit of the marine corps. Reporter 6,000 marines lost their lives in the battle for iwo jima including three of the men identified in the photo. Three others were brought home on orders of president roosevelt. The photo had become so famous that he wanted the flag raisers to go out on a war bond tour to help raise more money for the war effort. Reporter one of them was john bradley, a Navy Corpsman who fought alongside the marines. Now seven decades later and more than 10 years after bradley passed away, the marine corps has made an astonishing discovery about the men in this photo. John bradley was not one of the flag raisers. Were looking at all the various straps and Things Holding things on. Reporter the proof is in photos taken that day and analyzed by forensic specialist Michael Plaxton for a documentary on the smithsonian channel. Here is john bradley and here is bradley in the famous photo. The aha moment was almost the instant i looked at the two pictures side by side. Reporter bradley was wearing pouches in which he carried his medical equipment. The marine in the photo is wearing standard infantrymans gear. And the cuffs of his pants are rolled down over his boots. Bradleys cuffs were rolled up. If john bradley is not in that picture, that raises the obvious question ofwho is the sixth person in that picture. This was the more difficult part of the exercise, was, well, whos that guy . Reporter a freeze frame taken from a film of the flag raising provided the first clue. And the first thing i noticed about this man was that his helmet liner strap is hanging down beside his face, and its swinging back and forth, and its very, very evident when you see it in the film. Reporter there was only one marine there with a strap like that. So heres harold schultz, and heres that loose liner strap. Reporter schultz survived the war but for the rest of his life never said publicly he was in the picture. Which is incredible in todays world. Todays famedriven world. Reporter bradley, who was later wound ed aed and received navy cross, did raise a flag that day but two hours later it was replaced by the larger, more visible one which became immortal. That flag is on display at the marine corps museum. Bradleys name will come off, and schultzs will go on. The record stands corrected. But the truth of shared struggle and ultimate victory captured in that split second remains unchanged. David martin, cbs news, quantico, virginia. P . P . O . Gv babies crying narrator life. Dishes.

We were surprised to learn today that some cars with top safety rankings for drivers may not be so safe for passengers. Heres our transportation correspondent kris van cleave. Reporter the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety retested seven to see how the passenger side would handle a crash simulating hitting a pole with 25 of the car at 40 miles an hour. The 2016 Hyundai Tucson was the only one to earn a good ranking for both driver and front passenger protection. Three suvs scored good on the drivers side but acceptable for passengers. They lived. Reporter subaru has stressed its crash safety in commercials. But the forester earned a marginal ranking for front passengers, as did the nissan rogue. The 2015 toyota rav4 earned the lowest ranking, poor. The passenger side showed 13 more inches of intrusion into the cabin, and its door opened, increasing the risk of ejection. In 2014 nearly 1,700 front seat passengers were killed in frontal crashes. Iihs Senior Research engineer becky mueller. Does that mean car makers are building their cars so they pass your test as opposed to applying what youve learned from those tests across the board . We knew from the beginning their efforts on the side of the car that were testing. But the time has come to finally apply those same design improvements to the driver and the passenger sides. Reporter now, this test is not part of the governments fivestar safety ranking. Scott, subaru says it is reviewing the results. Toyota tells us it has begun adding some additional front passenger protection to vehicles in the 2016 model year. Thats the oefrpt news for this friday. For some of you the news continues. For others check back with us a little later for the morning news and cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im scott pelley. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im jericka duncan. President obamas plan to reform u. S. Immigration policy ran into a brick wall at the Supreme Court. The justices split evenly 44. That tie effectively kills the president s executive order that shields 5 Million People from possible deportation. Specifically the undocumented parents of children who are either u. S. Citizens or permanent legal residents. The president tried to assure those people that the Immigration Service would not be hunting them down. I think it is heartbreaking for the millions of immigrants who made their lives here, whove raised families here, who hope work, pay taxes, serve in our military and more fully contribute to this country we all love in an open way. So where do we go from here . Most americans including business leaders, faith leaders, and law enforcement, democrats and republicans and independents, still agree that the single best way to solve this problem is by working together to pass common sense bipartisan Immigration Reform. That is obviously not going to happen during the remainder of this congress. We dont have a congress that agrees with us on this. Nor do we have a congress thats willing to do even its most basic of jobs under the constitution, which is to consider nominations. Republicans in congress currently are willfully preventing the Supreme Court from being fully staffed and functioning as our founders intended. And todays situation underscores the degree to which the court is not able to to. The courts inability to reach a decision in this case is a very clear reminder of why its so important for the Supreme Court to have a full bench. This is an election year. And during election years politicians tend to use the immigration issue to scare people with words like amnesty and hopes it will whip up votes. Keep in mind that millions of us, myself included, go back generations in this country, with ancestors who put in the painstaking effort to become citizens. And we dont like the notion that anyone might get a free pass to american citizenship. But heres the thing. Millions of people who have come forward and worked to get right with the law under this policy, theyve been living here for years too. In some cases even decades. So leaving the broken system the way it is, thats not a amnesty. Pretending we can deport 11 Million People or build a wall without spending tens of billions of dollars of taxpayer money is abetting what is really just factually incorrect. Its not going to work. Its not good for this country. Its a fantasy that offers nothing to help the middle class and demeans our tradition of being both a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. Sooner or later, Immigration Reform will get done. Congress is not going to be able to ignore america forever. Its not a matter of if. Its a matter of when. And i can say that with confidence because weve seen our history. We get these spasms of Politics Around immigration and fearmongering. And then our better impulses kick in. Thats how we all ended up here. Because i guarantee you at some point every one of us has somebody in our background who people didnt want coming here. Realistically, what do you see as the risk of deportation of these more than 4 Million People. You say we cant deport 11 million. 4 million and theres a chunk of time here let me just be very clear. What was unaffected by todays ruling or lack of a ruling is the enforcement priorities that we put in place. And our enforcement priorities that have been laid out by secretary jeh johnson at the department of Homeland Security are pretty clear. We prioritize criminals. We prioritize gang bangers. We prioritize folks who have just come in. What we dont do is prioritize people who have been here a long lawabiding, who have roots and connections in their communities. And so those enforcement priorities will continue. This does not substantially change the status quo. And it doesnt negate what has always been the case, which is if were really going to solve this problem effectively weve got to have Congress Pass a law. On the campaign trail donald trump called president obamas executive order on immigration one of the most unconstitutional actions ever undertaken by a president. On capitol hill House Speaker paul ryan praised the Supreme Courts action. This is a win for the constitution. Its a win for congress. And its a win for our fight to restore the separation of powers. President s dont write laws. Congress writes laws. This is a case that the house weighed in on because its fundamental to our system of checnd congress, not the president , writes our laws. And today the Supreme Court val validated that very core essential fundamental principle 37. For fans of the rock band led zeppelin the song will remain the same. A federal court in los angeles ruled that jimmy page and robert plant did not rip off the opening rip for their classic hit stairway to heaven. John blackstone cal
