good morning, america. this morning, outside help. a developing story right now. what investigators are learning about how the bombs in boston were made and why this is making them think the suspects could have received training from experts. open water. stunning new pictures of a brother and sister and the 14-hour miracle swim for their lives after their fishing boat sank. >> the waves crashing would have probably crushed us. and so we were very lucky. >> this morning, they're back on dry land and telling their amazing story of survival. >> highway to hell. l.a.'s infamous, traffic-clogged 405 freeway. sucking time, money, and patience out of hundreds of thousands of commuters every day. this morning, the frustrated billionaire willing to cut a
7:01 am
huge check to make it all go away. what a girl really wants? the normally private megastar matt damon providing rare insight into his marriage. we'll tell you what he promised his wife when they renewed their vows. it's what every woman really wants to hear. absolutely. >> hey, good morning, everybody. take a look at this picture. this happened just hours ago. a young boy pulled out of the rubble after spending four days, four days buried alive. this is one of many astonishing survival stories. the latest from the scene coming up. >> really a race against time there. also this morning, the skies are looking a lot friendlier for flyers now that congress okayed a quick fix to end big flight delays that jammed airports nationwide. we'll tell you how the controllers are being kept on the job. but sould they be getting special treatment?
7:02 am
a rare move of bipartisanship. >> your government at work. a lot of skepticism. they fixed this problem just in time to go home for their spring break. also, somebody who deserves no skepticism. our intrepid meteorologist ginger zee, in the windy city. there she is. looking radiant in yellow. is that yellow? >> that is yellow. >> that is yellow. i'm color dyslexic. spring is arriving in the midwest. finally. you're looking at chicago's lake front skyline. ginger is pointing it out for us. she'll have the weather from her old stomping grounds. coming up. >> she's selling the city. >> she is selling the city. we're going to start this half hour with the fresh suspicions in boston. law enforcement officials are now increasingly concerned that the suspects may not have acted alone. they could have had outside help from a master bombmaker. gio benitez has more from boston. good morning, gio. >> reporter: dan, good morning to you. right now, there is more evidence than ever to suggest that the suspected bombers may have had a teacher, a sort of master bombmaker overseas.
7:03 am
in a new government document obtained by abc news, investigators say the bombers likely knew more about bombmaking than just learning about it from al qaeda's magazine, "inspire," raising the suspicion that the older brother, tamerlan tsarnaev, was trained overseas. what did he really do when visiting russia? >> i think the most important aspect of the new documents is the russian link to tamerlan. in other words, did he receive training? of what type training? what individuals did he deal with? >> reporter: the document from the terrorist explosive device analytical center says, quote, such construction would likely require previous knowledge of or additional research into circuitry. it appears the bombs were detonated using a toy car remote control. late friday night, officials took away the boat where the manhunt ended a week ago. while tamerlan had been killed
7:04 am
following a carjacking and police shootout, officials say his younger brother, dzhokhar, had been hiding out in the boat until he was discovered and arrested. >> i'm sure that my kids were not involved in anything. >> reporter: as the mother of the tsarnaev brothers, zubeidat, insists her sons did not plant bombs at the boston marathon, abc news has learned she and her older son were added to a terror watch list in 2011 at the cia's request. she's described as a religious militant. meanwhile, at the boston celtics game last night, the team honored the heroes of the boston bombing -- the hospital workers, first responders, and local leaders. and that little 8-year-old victim, martin richard, well, today, it would have been his first little league game of the season. and so that team will honor him today with a number 8 on the field. bianna? >> a sweet boy with such a beautiful smile. all right, gio. thank you so much.
7:05 am
we have not one but two incredible survival stories this morning. first, the brother and sister back on land after making a 14-hour swim to shore. they were in open water when their fishing boat sank off saint lucia. and the two are now talking about the vacation that nearly killed them and how they helped each other stay alive. rob nelson is here with more. a vacation that turned into a nightmare. >> incredible survival story here, you guys. good morning, everybody. it's a survival story being called a miracle. these american siblings battling huge waves and fearing sharks for more than half a day and somehow living to tell the story. siblings dan and kate suski took what they thought was a vacation to paradise in saint lucia. but as they embarked on a fishing trip, the caribbean vacation turned into a terrifying ordeal for the two. >> it was intense. it was long. a long day, a long 20-odd hours. >> reporter: the siblings were out eight miles off the coast when the fishing boat they chartered started to fill with water. it put the two in the water as
7:06 am
they watched the boat capsize. >> it was surreal, you know, watching the boat stern down go subsurface and seeing it underwater was surreal. >> reporter: along with the suskies and the boat's captain and first mate were put in the water as well. but quickly lost sight of them as the swells separated them. >> we could see land off in the distance and started swimming that direction. and then, it would disappear intermittently as we swam. we felt the wind behind us and tried to use that as a gauge. for direction. >> reporter: the two siblings, now separated from the captain and first mate, would begin a grueling 14-hour swim to shore. battling hypothermia. you can see here some of the scarring left behind from the salt water and the life jacket. >> we saw a sliver of beach. we were able to get to safety that way. >> reporter: the pair spent the night eating bananas and mangos before spotting a farmer the following day. >> we didn't know what to say. it must have been so strange for
7:07 am
him to see us. >> reporter: amazing story. now, the brother and sister were treated for dehydration and other minor injuries. they're reportedly flying to miami to reunite with their father today. the captain and first mate were rescued by a private boat after spending 23 hours in the water themselves. it's unclear what caused the boat to sink. amazing they were able to stay focused and get back to shore. 14 hours. >> amazing that all four survived. >> reporter: exactly. >> thanks, rob. now to another extraordinary story of survival this morning. look at the picture from the top of the broadcast. the boy being pulled out of the rubble after four days. he is one of dozens of amazing rescues in the aftermath of a massive building collapse in bangladesh. abc's muhammad lila is on the story. >> reporter: dan, there is new hope this morning, as nearly a dozen survivors have been pulled out of the debris alive overnight. rescuers say there could be many more, possibly hundreds, still trapped.
7:08 am
it's proof that in the worst tragedies, miracles can happen. this young boy, dehydrated and in shock, is the latest survivor, one of nearly a dozen pulled out from the rubble alive overnight. four days after this massive building collapsed, rescuers are convinced many more are still trapped alive. i went down and found 15 more people still alive, this rescue worker says. we can rescue them later today. but that won't be easy. this overhead view shows the massive destruction. rescuers are fighting scorching heat, more than 100 degrees, in a concrete building that crumpled like a piece of paper. just a day earlier, police found giant cracks in the walls and ordered everybody out. when the police left, workers say factory owners told them to go back inside. those owners are now under arrest, as thousands of workers in the capital riot in the streets. grieving relatives hold up
7:09 am
photos of missing loved ones while rescuers race against time, praying for more miracles. today's rescues come a day after two women gave birth while trapped inside the rubble. they and their newborn babies are doing just fine. and as for the investigation, well, a number of western clothing labels have been found inside the debris. it's raising serious questions about whether western companies were pressuring the factory owners to keep the building open when clearly it shouldn't have been. dan and bianna? >> four days later they're still finding people. >> these western clothing labels this is an angle we will need to pursue. thank you very much, muhammad. >> let's go to ron with more top stories developing this morning. good morning, ron. >> hi there, dan and bianna. good morning, everyone. we begin with tough talk on syria from president obama. the president responding to new evidence that the syrian government used chemical weapons on its own people. is there enough evidence to act? reena ninan joins us from
7:10 am
washington with the latest on this. good morning, reena. >> reporter: good morning, ron. the president's comments were loaded with caveats. calling the assessment preliminary. with varying degrees of confidence about whether sarin was used. one source telling me overnight, with so much uncertainty, who fired what and at whom? what is the motivation? these are key questions. >> if it is established, that syria was using chemical weapons against their own people, what exactly are the options that the white house has to do? >> reporter: there are no good options, really. military action in syria is something that the white house has wanted to avoid. the focus is on the intelligence picture. we have no public eyewitness accounts of the government firing shells with chemical weapons directly on civilians. no definitive connection with the public, at least. the white house is cautious but insisting all options are on the table. >> okay, reena ninan reporting from washington. thank you for that. new threats from north korea this morning. the rogue nation says it will soon put an american on trial
7:11 am
for allegedly trying to overthrow that government there. the man, kenneth bay, is said to be a missionary who made trips there to feed orphans. experts say he's being used as a bargaining chip in dealing with the u.s. and the former university of virginia lacrosse player convicted of killing his exgirlfriend was granted an appeal. george huguely was sentenced to 23 years in prison for the beating death of yeardley love. the appeal was granted because of one of his lawyers became ill during the trial but the trial continued. tributes pouring in this morning for george jones. he died on friday. fellow country musicians, including garth brooks and merle haggard are calling him the greatest country singer ever. the influential singer recorded more than 50 albums. and had number one songs in five decades. george jones was 81 years of age. and it took longer than expected. but manti te'o was finally drafted by a pro football team. the former notre dame star selected in the second round by the san diego chargers. te'o may be better known for
7:12 am
what happened to him off the field in the last year. the hoax involving a fake girlfriend. some teams said they passed on taking te'o in the first round because of at the. and finally, some advice in case there are baboons in your neighborhood. maybe there are. i don't know. you should close your windows. take a look at this video we have from south africa. an entire troop of baboons. it's like a gaggle of geese. a troop of baboons. invaded a summer home there in south africa. they raided the kitchen and trashed the entire house. the house was completely locked except for that one -- there was one small window left open allowing them to get in. that wreaked a lot of havoc among other things. we won't go into on family tv. >> why didn't they stop filming and get them out of there? >> well, you gotta watch the whole video. the guy is chasing them around and saying, get out of here, baboon. >> this is a problem in south africa. when we were in capetown, they told everybody to lock
7:13 am
their doors to keep them out. >> thank you, ron. to some, it's an infuriating civics lesson. a clinic in government dysfunction. after days of delays, a congress that, let's be honest, has not done much in months, passed a bill to get air traffic controllers back in the towers just in time for the lawmakers themselves to fly home for spring break. abc's jeff zeleny is at reagan national airport outside washington this morning. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dan. these flight delays quickly became a political problem. that members of congress acted in near record speed to fix. the air traffic controllers are going back to work this morning. overnight, airport towers returning to business as usual, after reversing furloughs for hundreds of workers, forced to stay home all week because of congressional budget cuts. the president says he will sign the bill, pushed through by lawmakers just in time to catch their own flights out of town. >> maybe because they fly home each weekend, the members of
7:14 am
congress who insisted on these cuts finally realized that they actually applied to them, too. >> reporter: passengers vented frustrations and waited. as up to 1,000 flights a day were delayed. >> we sat on the tarmac for about an hour. >> five hours. >> oh, it's horrible. >> reporter: the bipartisan effort did not sit well with some members of congress. >> the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. >> reporter: who believe air travelers received special treatments. while cuts to other government programs were ignored. >> sometimes the concerns of the most politically strong and w l well-connected groups get addressed. the folks that get left behind are kids on head start programs and seniors on meals on wheels. >> reporter: those two programs make up a fraction of the $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration. they're not as visible or loud as passengers waiting on tarmacs. we caught up with members of congress as they raced out of washington. >> look, we drive on the same
7:15 am
roads as the taxpayers. we stand in the same tsa lines. i don't think this is anything other than trying to do the best for our constituents. >> reporter: the white house calls the fix a band aid. they're urging congress to find a solution for the budget gridlock. it turns out the legislation may have been pushed through a little too fast. a top white house official tells me this morning, president obama was prepared to sign the bill into law today but now must wait until tuesday. a spelling error in the bill apparently needs to be corrected first. bianna? >> unbelievable. jeff, thank you. we turn to an astonishing discovery here in new york city. a piece of landing gear found in an alley near the world trade center more than ten years after 9/11. abc's john schriffen is in lower manhattan with the story. and john, where this metal is believed to have fallen from is quite remarkable. >> reporter: bianna, good morning. remarkable indeed. authorities believe it came from one of the planes that crashed into the world trade center. it's lodged in an alley behind me. because this construction site for a mosque hasn't been touched
7:16 am
for more than a decade, authorities don't know how it got here. that's why police are on guard, treating this as a crime scene. investigators this morning are puzzled by an alarming discovery. take a look at this metal part of an airplane, believed to be landing gear from one of the hijacked jumbo jets that crashed into the world trade towers. >> after such a long period of time, i'm amazed at what is being discovered right now. >> reporter: it's wedged between two buildings just a few blocks from ground zero in lower manhattan. >> the space between the two buildings is 18 inches. the part has been measured to be five feet by four feet by 17 inches. it's a big part. and obviously, very, very narrow, confined area. >> reporter: authorities say it was found wednesday morning by workers doing construction. investigators soon swarmed the scene, finding a serial number on it with the word "boeing."
7:17 am
the question now, how did it get there? >> could it have been lowered? at some time? it's possible. there's a rope on it. it looks like it's intertwined with the part. we looked for marks on the wall. there don't appear to be any. >> reporter: for many new yorkers, it's now opening wounds nearly 12 years old. what does this mean for the families of the victims of 9/11? >> i don't know, sir. we'll have to ask the families. >> reporter: could there be remains of victims inside? >> the chief medical examiner will do an in-depth examination of the site, to see if, in fact, there are human remains there. >> reporter: and when the police commissioner came here to look at it himself, he actually had to put on a protective suit. they're not sure if the plane part is toxic. authorities are handling it with care. taking their time. they'll determine on monday how to move it from this location. dan? bianna? >> thank you, john schriffen. time now to check the weather and ginger zee in
7:18 am
chicago. ginger, good morning. >> dan and bianna, we're on board chicago's first lady cruises and we're celebrating. that, the beautiful chicago this morning. 20th anniversary of this boat working with the chicago architecture foundation to show off that great city. we wanted to celebrate. it's also a celebration that it's dry. because this city, like so many other, has had the wettest april on record. now the flooding concerns to north dakota. by wednesday, the red river should flood. look at all the prep happening. they're feeling confident, though, because it looks like they'll stay below the 2009 record flooding. a lot of that has to do with the rain moving. let me show you first how the temperatures are affected. check out how warm it will be in the northern plains. fargo, 72, bismarck, 79. even into minnesota. that's where more of the rain is going to fall. the very, very pertinent places along the red river only get about a half inch of the rain. most of it goes to the east and southeast.
7:19 am
so that's great news. we have not so good news out of oklahoma. look at the hail overnight. just south and east of oklahoma city. damaging winds in some places, too. about 40 severe weather reports. more severe weather on the way today. we can see it in far southwest texas. and anywhere from shreveport to memphis. that's the severe weather. and then that comes along with all the rain. chattanooga in the heart of it. nashville over into the carolinas, in the 2 to 3-inch range. so a very wet weekend ahead. can't get
7:20 am
>> so again, a big thank you to chicago, first lady cruises, captain bob in there keeping us safe. we're going to head right back in. and of course, i'll see you guys tomorrow. >> looking forward to that. thanks to captain bob. he is, by the way, the billionaire who founded paypal, developed an electric car, and launched rockets into orbit. now, he's facing the biggest challenge, perhaps, of his career. one of the most infamous congested highways in america. >> he's already shelled out a fat check of his own money. he says he'll gladly pay more. to get the traffic situation fixed. abc's akiko fujita has the story. >> reporter: it's the freeway angelinos love to hate. >> i avoid it like the plague. >> reporter: the country's most heavily traveled road has never been a breeze. but construction to widen lanes on the highway to connect orange county to the san fernando
7:21 am
valley has made things miserable. how bad is traffic on the 405? >> how clean does my language have to be? >> reporter: it's so bad, elon musk is shelling out millions of dollars to a citizen's grovoted gridlock. the billionaire who developed an electric car around launched rockets into orbit is taking on his biggest challenge yet. bringing traffic salvation to the 405. >> we can get a rocket to orbit in under ten minutes. whereas driving a ten-mile stretch on the 405 can take over an hour. >> reporter: musk is one of 400,000 drivers who take the 405 every day. the 15-mile commute from his bel air home to work takes an hour on average. >> it's just soul-destroying. >> reporter: construction, now $100 million overbudget is not scheduled to be completed until next year. >> it's not possible to completely close down the 405 and expedite the work. >> reporter: look how slowly cars are moving in both directions. musk says this is exactly what he finds so frustrating every day.
7:22 am
>> if you're going to close something down, it should be worked on top speed. >> reporter: he's willing to shell out millions more to hire additional construction workers if it means making this all go away. has this made you think about a car that flies? so you can fly over traffic? >> you can make a flying car today. it's not technically difficult. >> reporter: at this rate, building the flying car may be a quicker fix. for "good morning america," akiko fujita, abc news, los angeles. >> sounds like a good way for that guy to run out of money. >> exactly. a version of "the jetsons." coming up here on the broadcast, it started out as a sweet story. a community rallying around a little boy with cancer. it ended with outrage and a mother under arrest. also ahead, guardian angels. people in extreme situations, facing death, often swear someone or something is looking out for them. do these angels exist? believe it or not there is a scientific answer. >> a fascinating story. and the usually superprivate

ruled out. >> reporter: good news, stillwagon allegedly never broke to her son or the community. robbed of money and trust. police are trying to figure out how much money was pocketed by the mom. it was the boy's school that first rallied around to help the family, they became suspicious and called police. saying something didn't seem right. that tip led to her arrest. >> incredible. you hear people lying about themselves and their own health. when they take to it their children, it's a different level. >> everyone was very worried. >> thank you, tai. >> thank you. let's check the other stories this morning with ron claiborne. >> hi, again, dan and bianna. in the news, abc news has learned that law enforcement officials are now increasingly concerned that the boston bombing suspects may not have acted alone. the bombs are cylinder devices described in an al qaeda magazine. there are enough differences to suggest that tamerlan tsarnaev had additional training or help in constructing allegedly those
7:34 am
bombs used in boston. overseas, they're still pulling survivors from the rubble in the collapsed building in bangladesh. dozens more people, including 19 this morning, have been rescued in the past two days. five people have been detained in connection with the building collapse. and the popular online deal service living social has been hacked. the company warned more than 50 million customers that their names, e-mail addresses, birthdays and encrypted passwords may have been stolen. but no credit card information was accessed. and finally, louisville coach, basketball coach rick pitino is a man of his word. he followed through on his promise to get a tattoo if his team won the ncaa championship, which hay did. he's given his players a hard time about having too many tattoos. >> that's a big tattoo. >> big tattoos. over to ginger zee now in chicago. >> we have now moved from lake michigan into the chicago river. just a little bit west. the sun very nice here. beaming off the trump tower behind me.

you hear this story time and again. people in dangerous situations, facing death, claim to sense a sort of presence, easing them through it. often they use the term guardian angel. >> turns out there's some science behind the phenomenon. it has something to do with how our brains are wired. here's abc's jay schadler. >> i can't hear. i can't hear. >> reporter: in a moment of mayhem, or the instant of exquisite fear -- >> i looked at the air gauge, i thought, okay, this is it. >> reporter: -- human beings often report being comforted by an invisible companion. >> only my guardian angel could have saved me from such an accident as that. >> reporter: rose said she glimpsed hers at the scene of a

7:42 am
rob palmer, had died in a diving accident in the red sea. now alone, she's facing her own dark death. >> suddenly, the whole cave brightened up. >> reporter: and into that world floated the words of her husband. believe you can, believe you can't. either way, you're right. >> and then, i calmed down. i saw what i thought was a thread. he was there for me in a way. >> reporter: so how is stephanie's experience to be explained? isn't this just possibly an hallucination? >> i think what people are experiencing is a very concrete survival mechanism that is -- you know, part of our human heritage. >> reporter: geiger believes that in a life-threatening crisis, our minds experience the terror of the moment and the peace of perspective. >> and then the brain is able to
7:43 am
stand back from that, and sort of rise above that. and it rationally figures out a way to help this person get through that. >> reporter: so the guardian angel is us? >> the guardian angel is us. >> it's interesting. the guardian angel is us. >> chills, yeah. coming up here on the broadcast, matt damon's new vow to his wife. find out the promise he made in front of the entire family. coming up in "pop news" after this quick break. you see the "mini" ion my chest?
