Reporter good morning. Three are in critical condition. Like aerialists these women are called harialists. Hanging by their hair. Obviously the stunt went terribly wrong. It was a performance filled with magic and fantasy. The ringling brothers legends show packed with nearly 4,000 people, families with children. Then just 45 minutes into the performance, a dramatic and horrifying turn. Just seconds after a curtain drops revealing acrobats hanging by their hair, eight young women falling about 35 feet, the circus says right on top of a dancer below. The heavy contraption holding them up giving way. Everybody thought that it was part of the act but then when they landed on the floor then, you know, they werent moving. Reporter the announcer quickly addressing the audience. We ask that you please enjoy this intermission at this time while we situate ourselves during this accident. Thank you. You could tell the crane was heavy because it took ten guys, you could see them struggling to lift it from on top of the girls. It was unbelievable. Reporter the seriously injured performers were conscious during their rescue. Hospital Officials Saying theyre treating a total of 11 patients. Now weve learned the act is one of the shows biggest centerpieces and as seen in this promotional video its brandnew to the circus. We have the human chandelier.

All right, gio, thank you. Joining us now from washington is steven payne of Feld Entertainment which owns the ringling brothers and Barnum Bailey circus. We appreciate your time this morning and first and foremost, how are the injured performers doing this morning . Well, as of last night we learned that all the performers are resting comfortably. Their injuries, though serious, we did learn they were not considered lifethreatening. So everyone with the greatest show on earth is happy to hear that. Any idea at this point what went wrong . Were working with local providence officials as well as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to really find out what happened during this performance so we can make sure that all of our equipment is safe for all of our performers Going Forward. And this was a relatively new part of the act. Was there enough that was done prior to to properly prepare them . Well, most of these performers have been doing an act of this nature for some time. This particular segment has been a part of this show since it started rehearsals in december of last year, so these aerialists have been doing this performance a dozen times a week since then. So they were really highly experienced, really athletic, skilled. They knew what they were doing and it was just an unfortunate accident. In the meantime, what about the show . I know that the show this morning has been canceled. What about Going Forward . Correct. Well, the show was canceled and we canceled both shows yesterday afternoon. The next engagement for this circus unit is in hartford, connecticut. And as of this morning, all of those scheduled performances will go on as planned. And what can you do to assure families that are going to bring their children to future performances about the safety of those that are performing . Well, this really was a freak accident, an unprecedented accident in our history so audiences that are coming to see the greatest show on earth and can bring their families can rest assured we are doing everything to determine what happened yesterday to cause this unfortunate accident and everything we can do in the future to make sure it never happens again. Steven, thank you and give our very best to those who are injured. Thank you, sir. I will, thank you. We are thinking of them but well turn now to that deadly wildfire burning in oklahoma. The fastmoving flames caused at least one death, forcing hundreds from their homes. Abcs ryan owens is live in guthrie, oklahoma, with all the very latest. Good morning, ryan.

Flames leap into the night sky as oklahoma firefighters struggle to save as many as 150 homes in the fires path. Hopefully they get this thing pushed back far enough. Reporter look at those flames as they engulf that tree. Those flames shooting some 30 feet into the air and the wind is certainly not helping overnight. Gusting at more than 30 miles an hour. The wind keeps blowing. It keeps sparking it back up. Reporter the flames have destroyed six homes so far but the fire chief expects that number will double, maybe triple when the sun comes up. The chief says it all started by someone burning debris. A controlled burn that quickly got out of control. Its amazing how fast this fire spread. By the time we got down here we were afraid we wouldnt be able to come home. Reporter about a thousand people in this Small Community north of Oklahoma City have been asked to voluntarily evacuate. Those who chose to stay are fighting the fires with whatever they have. Sleep with one eye open and be ready to move if necessary. Reporter now that the sun is up, the fire chief is hopeful they can get helicopters up to dump water on the fire. They could not do that overnight. Weather will not cooperate. Gusty winds and a high of 97. And thats a real problem. Yes, that is. That is something behind you, ryan. Thank you. Now to that air scare. Severe turbulence shortly after takeoff injuring six people on a flight from philadelphia to orlando. Forcing the plane to return to the airport. Abcs david kerley is in washington with the latest on that. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, robin.

Good morning, amy. Good morning, robin. Good morning, everyone. We begin with a disaster during an air show near san francisco. The pilot of this vintage plane was trying to perform an upside down maneuver, but spectators watched in horror as that plane skidded, catching fire. The 77yearold veteran pilot did not survive. And overseas right now ukraine appears to be marching closer toward an allout civil war. Ukrainian soldiers have reportedly been killed in battles today with prorussia fighters, part of the same group that waged a fierce attack on a Police Station sunday and in a sign of the escalating violence a woman, a regular citizen, was seen running across the street in one eastern city gun in hand. Well, a major backlash on social media. People around the world are demanding more be done to rescue 276 schoolgirls abducted and then reportedly sold off as brides in nigeria. Abcs Martha Raddatz tells us how the u. S. Government is getting involved. Martha, good morning. Reporter good morning, amy. This was a breathtaking kidnapping. Those nearly 300 girls taken by armed men from their School Dormitory in the middle of the night by islamic extremists who believe western education is a sin. This morning, the lead of the Islamic Group admitting in a video, i abducted your girls. Anguished parents and protesters around the world pleading for the search to intensify, and nigerias president vowing overnight that the girls, gone now for more than three weeks, will be found. Wherever these girls are, well get them out. Reporter it comes as secretary of state john kerry is touring africa and pushing nigeria to go after the kidnappers. The kidnapping of hundreds of children is an unconscionable crime and we will do Everything Possible to support the Nigerian Government to return these young women to their homes. Reporter kerrys predecessor, hilly clinton, and celebrities like mary j. Blige, also bringing attention to the horrific abduction through social media with the bringbackourgirls going viral on twitter. The girls, aged 15 to 18, are likely part of a massive Human Trafficking operation sold into marriage for mere dollars. Despite the promises by nigerias president to intensify the search this morning, his wife reportedly ordered the arrest of the leaders of the protest against the kidnapping. It is also not clear what help the u. S. Will give but secretary kerry says he will keep up the pressure and those parents, they chased after the abductors, amy, who were armed with ak47s using only bows and arrows and were forced to turn back. Heartbreaking story, martha. Thank you for helping shed light on what is happening right now. In the meantime, dramatic pictures from the u. S.

It took dozens of police officers, even a k9 unit to break up the party. The mansion is under construction and the teens left behind 70,000 in damages.

Its mothers day week here on gma. And this one has a special little twist to it. We cant wait. Lets get started in this half hour, the latest on the Oscar Pistorius trial. His trial for the murder of his girlfriend, back under way after 2 1 2week break. The defense trying to poke holes in the case and matt gutman is at the courthouse for us this morning. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, robin. The clearest portrait yet of Oscar Pistorius in the frantic moments after he shot reeva steenkamp. Now, the defense is trying to claw back after pistorius was mauled last month in crossexamination trying to show that his version of events still stands up and that all that emotion weve seen in court is but a fraction of the agony he felt that night. They were the first tortured words out of pistorius mouth. Please, please, please, come to my house. I shot reeva. I thought she was an intruder. Please, please, please come quick. Reporter uttered by pistorius, the first person he called the night he shot his girlfriend, the budding reality star reeva steenkamp. Johan stander then rushed to his house. It was a young man walking down the stairs with a lady with a young woman in his arms. I could see she had a head wound. Reporter stander and his daughter ka crease testified for the defense in his murder trial. They arrived just minutes after the bullets ripped into reeva, now dying in pistorius arms. He was begging me to put her in the car to take her to the hospital. Reporter in court pistorius crumpled over weeping. That night she told them they needed towel s to stop the bleeding. He was begging reeva to just stay with him and not to leave him. Just stay with me, my love. Stay with me. Reporter this crime scene photo shows pistorius as he looked then, blood smeared and vomiting and she thought suicidal. I thought hes going to go and possibly shoot himself. Reporter in a trial so punctuated by emotion both witnesses broke down on the stand today as they were questioned by the defense team. Mr. Stander, sir, if youre emotional, take your time. Reporter stander, whose face wasnt shown on tv, part of the 11 witnesses and clawing back. Today they gave us insight into his psychology after he pulled the trigger, next expect them to turn to his frame of mind before he pulled the trigger. Hammering home the point that this disabled athlete would feel more vulnerable than the rest of us. George. Okay, matt, thanks. Our legal team, chief Legal Affairs dan abrams and nancy grace. Let me begin with you, nancy. We heard matt that testimony. Highly emotional. Was it effective . Well, i found it to be somewhat effective in that weve all been watching pistorius cry and vomit and dry heave in the courtroom and they told the judge this is a bench trial, they told the judge he also threw up the night the day they got there and they found reeva dead. Now, heres a problem. If you analyze their testimony, aside from all of the emotion, he never said it was a mistake. He never explained to them how it happened, in fact, they seem to be more concerned about pistorius than they were about reeva steenkamp. While it helped to some degree i still think that the nuts and bolts of the prosecutions case is stronger. And, dan, how important is it that these witnesses said they didnt hear the fight that other witnesses said they heard. Not that important. I mean theyre saying they were asleep, right. I think the most important testimony youve heard so far from this witness today is that another witness may have changed his story. Meaning east earwitnesses are so important, witnesses who hear a fight, followed by the shots, right. The defense is saying thats not the way it happened. Remember, if there was a fight, followed by shots hes in big trouble so you had these earwitnesses who say they heard that fight. You had the witness today say, well, i talked to one of those witnesses at the time and he offered a different account than he offered on the witness stand. That is somewhat helpful and i would argue the most helpful thing weve heard today but still they got a long way to go thats the question. Does this do enough and what more do they need to do to create doubt . I got a question for you guys. Typically you start your case off with a bang, pardon the pun. You try to give them something powerful to start your case with. This is really just getting into the defense case. You know, weve had a twoweek hiatus and if the best theyve got is this emotional testimony thats not going to carry the day. Oscar pistorius was the beginning of the case. I mean Oscar Pistorius was that bang. Well, yeah, of course. He didnt do very well. I dont think he did that well on cross. I agree. I think Oscar Pistorius was a problem but, look what do they have . The best thing they could have is a neighbor who doesnt just say i was sleeping and then i woke up and heard this, the best thing they could have is a neighbor who said, no, i heard things in exactly the order that pistorius claims they were in. I dont think theyre going to have that. Well, and, nancy, that is the point. Something else go ahead. I found Something Else in his testimony. I was going through it between all of the crying and the snotting and vomiting. He said, i said to reeva, get down. Get down, call police. He was at her eye level reaching down to get the gun out from under the bed on her side of the bed. Who is he talking to . Shes not there. I mean, none of his story in my mind fits together and im giving you a prediction which i rarely do. I guarantee you i think this judge is going to split it down the middle. Shes going to split the baby and come back with guilty on a lesser included. Possible, yeah. I mean the judge could definitely i think theres going to be at least a conviction on the lesser included, right, which is this culpable homicide there which effectively is manslaughter. It would mean a minimum of no jail time up to 15 years, but, you know, i wouldnt count out the possibility of a stiffer conviction here. I still think that the evidence has been piling up against pistorius and i think that crossexamination was devastating . Not much of a case from the defense, dan, nancy, thanks very much. To ginger with the weather. We were talking about the heat out in the plains but theres a place that has not yet gotten hot. That would be chicago. This morning a raw one. Some sprinkles around too and youll run into the clouds early. Only the 50s for a High Temperature today. 54 really. And the east wind off the lake, ooh, ive been there for that.

Well go to the other topics of our heat index. One, is do our kids get off too easy . One of the most emailed stories in the New York Times last night. Really is something. Refutes the claim that kidding getting everything too easily is bad saying that high selfesteem is beneficial and unconditional selfesteem, a strong sense of belief in yourself, in your confidence is the best way to be. I was one of these guys who said i dont like everybody getting a trophy for just showing up. But this is a pretty convincing article based on a study. I want to quote one thing. It says based on an israeli study. It says the consistent finding is when children feel their parents feelings vary depending on how they are at sports, it creates fragile and unstable sense of self. I think theres some validity to it but they need to have goals and aspire to achieve and i dont know. I dont i feel very and earning it. I feel earning it is a huge quality of you want your kids to be humble and have some humility and feel a sense of pride when they do well. Its tough. You want to encourage them but dont want you to feel your affection or love is based on that. Makes sense. Get to know your child because something it may work for that particular personality and not for another child. No one size fits all. Interesting study. Very. Are two veeps too many for the white house . Not if its this duo. Did you see this clip . Julia louisdreyfus and Vice President joe biden. Very funny.

We saw Julia Louisdreyfus that evening and david muir asked her if she had a body double climbing over the fence. She said that was at the Vice President s residence and that was her. So very funny. Do need to check out that whole thing. Hollywood alisters hit the red carpet in washington for the white house Correspondents Dinner. Who better to talk to about this than joe zee. Joe zee, creative editor of elle mts magazine, soon to be editor in chief of fashion. With us right now. Good morning. Good morning. Hi, you guys. So lets talk about this. Whats the difference between hollywood red carpet and a washington red carpet. When you talk about washington it isnt hollywood so still want that hollywood glamour, but its about restraint and refinement. Not a lot of plugging necklines. Anything youre channeling first lady. I saw the three of you. Absolutely stunning, representing us well. But give us the other top picks. I do love you too but tell you right now i love lupita nyongo. She hasnt had a single fashion misstep this entire award season and i dont think she knows what a fashion mistake is. She looks beautiful in that oscar de la renta. Elegant, refined but at the same time shes not wearing a bold color like she has all award season. Very, very demure. Can i ask a question . Yeah. She hasnt made a misstep, how much of it is actually her . A lot is her. I have talked to her many times. It is a stylist and a team but shes very shes very opinionated in what she wears so i think a lot of it you can always tell. Theres a level of authenticity. When you see celebrate wear that she weighs in a lot. She wears a dress. It doesnt wear her. Never looks wrong. Number two. Number two, okay, this is surprising for me. Jessica simpson. I know this is very Jessica Simpson and white house in the same sentence. Black and white. Again, very elegant. Any first lady could be wearing this dress, Carolina Herrera but even the hair and makeup, its all very sort of elegant for her. Very grown up. You like julianna margulies. I did. I thought it was very modern. Very simple black dress, vintage, didnt wear a designer from the current collection but it was very elegant. A simple sheer panel around the arms. The touch that felt it was very right now. We asked people at home and they weighed in overnight. Three good choices so asked of the three how did they rank them and lupita. Yes, number one. 42 , julianna, 19 and Jessica Simpson, 39 . Oh, so i got it right. Yes. Why do you sound surprised . I dont sound surprised. Theyre voting. You are the ultimate eye and always give us great tips. Thank you. Thank you, you guys. Now were going to move on to the hot, new diet trend and why avoiding your bathroom scale would actually help you drop the weight. As much as 15 pounds, they say, in 30 days. Abcs juju chang has the story. Reporter its the hottest new trend for shedding those extra lbs fast. The whole30 diet. Profiled in the bestselling book, it starts with food, the brainchild of certified sports nutritionist dallas and melissa hartwig. The whole30 aimed at resetting your bodys reaction to food. For 30 days dieters eat only fruit, vegetables and protein. No grains like rice or wheat. No beans, no soy, no dairy and, of course, no processed sugar or alcohol. But one surprising nono, the bathroom scale. So many people are so obsessed with that number on the scale. The scale will blind you to all of the improvements youre seeing in your medical condition. Reporter but the key to the diet is the slow reintroduction of foods to see how your body reacts to gluten or dairy or sugar. 30yearold Ashley Reeves is a fan. Like many moms whose world revolves around her kids she says she didnt have the time or energy to get back into shape. I had done a few Healthy Eating things and i just wasnt losing the baby weight and i was getting pretty frustrated. Reporter last year she dropped 15 pounds in the first whole 30 days without working out. The first week id say is really rough because your body is kind of like purging all these things youve been eating for years but more than anything, my results are measured in energy. I felt amazing. Reporter more recently ashley tried the diet again shedding another ten pounds. She says effortlessly but some dietitians have their concerns. When you start eliminating food groups like dairy, legumes and whole grains, you start to miss out on important nutrients like calcium and vitamin d. Reporter but for whole30 dieters like ashley glad to have found a new relationship with food the results she says can be lifechanging. We all know its not about losing the weight. Its about keeping it off and nutritionists warn the risk is very high of just gaining all the weight back once the foods are reintroduced. But the creators say the point of the 30 days is to learn about how your body interacts with the food. And so when you reintroduce dairy or meats or whatever, then you get to see what works for you and create a plan. Right. Okay. Maybe reintroduce them one at a time to see which ones work. Are you reacting to gluten, dairy . What is it your body works with. Thank you so much. Coming up our biggest and most emotional breakfast in bed surprise ever. See that woman right there. She doesnt know it but shes about to receive the surprise of her life. Live. Good morning. Im kristen sze.

Robin about be back with Mariano Rivera about his new book and surprising events that led him to a career in baseball. How do you like me now [ cheers and applause ] you know this one. Metallica. Enter sandman. Baseball fans know what that means. Its the song future hall of famer, that man right there. Mariano rivera, mo, he would enter the game with that song. One of the greatest pitchers ever has a brandnew book out. Its called the closer. In baseball the closer is the guy who comes in at the end of the game to close it out, shut down the opponent and get the win. In the history of baseball no one has done that better than the great Mariano Rivera. Strike three. Ball game over. A 13time allstar, fivetime world champion, and Major League Baseballs alltime saves in e. R. A. Leader. But for Mariano Rivera his life and legacy have always been first and foremost about faith. I would not be sitting across from the alltime greatest closer in the history of Major League Baseball if it were not for the lord . Yes. Robin, you say it perfect. The only why it was was because the lord. The lord guide me in everything. Reporter the greatest closer in Major League History grew up here in panama with very little. He worked on a fishing boat. The captain, his father. Rivera hoped maybe to go to mechanic school, but fate intervened one day when he was playing baseball for an adult league, or as this selfdescribed accidental hall of famer believes, the lord had other plans. You werent even a pitcher when you were playing baseball. You just happened to be needed because your team needed some outs and you were called in from the outfield. How does that happen . I wasnt supposed to be pitching in that game. I wasnt supposed to pitch, period. It is a remarkable story, and mariano lays it all out in his new memoir, the closer. Your first baseball glove isnt even a glove, it is a milk carton. You signed in 1990 with the yankees for 2,000. Thats it. When the fishermans son from panama made his way to the u. S. To pursue a dream, he didnt even speak english. What was it like getting that call, the call the call to the big leagues . Oh, man. Look at you light up just thinking about it again. Robin, that was that was something. I was in bed jumping. Jumping on top of the bed like a little kid . Like a little kid. Robin, it was it was Something Special for me. I will never forget that moment. And he never looked back. Becoming not only a transcendent pitcher but a beloved teammate. The final game. Andy pettitte, derek jeter, going out there. When you saw them coming out to get you, what was going through your mind . Robin, wow. This is it. It hit he like a ton of bricks. This is it. I was strong for the whole year, but at that moment i couldnt hold it anymore. How is this for drama. The teammates who had been his family helping him say goodbye, but his real family waiting at home with open arms. And the person that has been with you every step of your journey, clara. Clara. You met in kindergarten. Actually we were in first grade when we grew up together. You sound like a little boy now. Look at you. Oh, man. When youre talking about her. Its no surprise at all that she is by his side for the next chapter of his life. Clara is the pastor at their church, refugio de esperanza, refuge of hope, in new rochelle, new york. So you have gone from saving games to saving souls, is that how you feel . Thats how i feel. 3 million went into restoring this church. A place where mariano and clara intend to give back to the community. Two or three are gathered in my name there am i with them. He will always be the great Mariano Rivera, new york yankee, closer extraordinaire. In fact, today i did a keepsake from those glory days. But in his heart, he will always be Mariano Rivera, humble servant to help others. There you go, robin. Yes. Thank you for all your work. Bless you. Bless you too. Trust me its already framed.

Guinness book of world records, i think. Before we Start Talking about your book, what do you think it is after so many years that that song still vibrates for us . I dont know. I think it tells a familiar story in kind of a unique way and i think its really taking on a life of its own once i wrote it and put it out there. Its taken on a life of its own that i have nothing to do with. Im very proud of it and fortunate but still sounds so, so good. I dont know what happened. Youve said that writing is a passion that youve had since you were a very young man. Tell us how you came to write this novel. Well, actually it was recommended by my editor that i after i wrote my autobiography. Which was a bestseller. Yes, i was very proud of that and she encouraged me to write fiction. I had written fiction when i was writing things like scabman and the thing under the stairs and pus boy and horror stories. Ive always wanted to get back to the writing prose so it was a good the autobiography was a good jumping off point. Magnificient vibration, what is magnificent vibration . An extreme novel. Its metaphysical and has to do with its a dark comedy, first of all. So you have to have a sense of humor, a guy, 32, just gone through a brutal divorce, hates his job, thinks his life is over and takes a selfhelp book called magnificient vibration. Magnificient vibration. Discover your true purpose and on the inside cover, 1800callgod and he does and god has an attitude. And this is pulled from your own life . I think every character has you start from a point of truth with every character and then once as the story evolves they take on their own life. But i think every character has a part of me in them. Especially the crazy ones. Well the one obsessed with his private parts. Oh. Okay. Well, the critics are loving it. We want to thank you so much for being here for serenading our jesses. Everybody, ricks book, magnificient vibration, is available tomorrow and we will be right back here on Good Morning America. In todays economy .
