>> glor: good evening, everyone. scott is off tonight. i'm jeff glor. the bridge was considered gacture critical, meaning if ene major part fails the rest does, too. tere is no backup. that is exactly what happened last night outside seattle when a truck hit a steel beam on the stagit river bridge, sending vehicles and passengers plunging into the water below. inl of it happened just as the holiday weekend begins. more than 30 million americans will travel over memorial day, and many will drive over a bridge in need of repair or replacement. we begin with henry rosoff from our cbs affiliate, kiro tv. >> the riverside bridge over i-5 collapsed. we have vehicles in the water. >> reporter: bryce kenning was driving north behind the truck that hit struck the beam. the truck cleared the bridge but the whole roadway gave way, plunging kenning 25 feet into the stagit river. >> there was a huge impact. all the airbags went off and the car started to rush with water, and that was when i kind of thought i was wasn't going to make it. >> reporter: kenning managed to climb on to the roof where he waited nearly 45 minutes for help. his was one of two vehicles that went down. a couple in a pickup truck also survived. >> it was just kind of like you make a split decision and say, "i'm not going to die here. i'm going to get out of this." >> reporter: the collapse was reminiscent of 2007 when the i- 35 bridge in minneapolis gave way, killing 13 people. according to the latest national report on bridges, more than 66,000 across the u.s. are considered deficient, requiring regular inspection. 85,000 are functionally obsolete, including the one that fell last night, meaning they do not meet current design standards. mark rosenker is a cbs news consultant, and the former chairman of the n.t.s.b. >> that doesn't mean everything is collapsing at any moment, but we have to continue to maintain these bridges. we have to invest in our infrastructure. if we wait too long, bridges can collapse. >> reporter: 70,000 people a day use the bridge over the stagit. it is a major connector between seattle and canada. the bridge had been inspected twice in the last year, well within federal guidelines, and there were some minor repairs. washington governor jay inslee. >> we're going to do everything we can to learn if there are any lessons from this. but the one lesson i think we should know right now is we want to discourage drivers from crashing their trucks into state bridges. ter:eporter: it's estimated it ksuld take weeks to repair the bridge at a cost of about $15 million. and, jeff, there's still the big question this evening: what heused a single semi going over 5he bridge to bring down an entire section of it? >> glor: henry rosoff, thank you. daesident obama today delivered a commencement address and a stern warning to graduates at the naval academy. ua came following increasing cases of sexual misconduct in military ranks. and we learned about a new issue today. major garrett is at the white isuse tonight. major. >> reporter: jeff, we learned today an army missile unit at fort greely, alaska, is under investigation. leere are allegations of sexual relations between officers and boeir subordinates, sexual harassment, and fears of reprisal. reprnews came as the president used his speech, delivered in a diving rainstorm, to demand an end to such misconduct. >> our military remains the most trusted institution in america. when others have been distracted by petty arguments, our men and women in uniform come together as one american team. and yet, we must acknowledge that even here, even in our military, we have seen how the misconduct of some can have effects that ripple far and wide. >> reporter: this year has already brought several high- profile cases. jeffrey krusinski, head of the sexual assault prevention office has been charged with groping. and fort hood, an army sergeant in charge of sexual abuse education stands accused of sexual assault. at west point, sergeant first class michael mcclendon, staff officer to 125 cadets is charged with secretly filming women cadets in the shower and bathroom. >> those who commit sexual assault are not only committing a crime. they threaten the trust and discipline that makes our military strong. that's why we have to be determined to stop these crimes because they've got no place in the greatest military on earth. >> reporter: the president has ordered the national security council to closely monitor the military's renewed effort to reduce sexual misconduct. defense secretary chuck hagel now holds weekly meetings on the topic and will amplify mr. obama's remarks in a commencement address tomorrow at west point. >> glor: major garrett, thank you. british police today identified the second suspect accused in wednesday's terror attack in london. he's michael adebowale, a 22- year-old naturalized british citizen born in nigeria. adebowale and a 28-year-old are accused of killing lee rigby. the police shot both suspects. they're in the hospital under guard. it turns out the two london suspects were on a watch list, though investigators say it would have been nearly impossible to predict they would commit such a crime. tonight, bob orr explains how the list works. >> reporter: the revelation the london suspects were known to british intelligence echoes what happened in boston. 20 months before the tsarnaev brothers allegedly planted bombs at the marathon, tamerlan tsarnaev was added to a u.s. terrorist watch list. customs agents were alerted when he traveled to and from russia in 2012, but tsarnaev was not stopped at the airport, and since the f.b.i. had not found any terror connections, he was never placed under surveillance. while tsarnaev was on the terror watch list, so, too, were more than a half million others. the watch list is ever expanding, and that's a problem for police. cbs news national security analyst juan zarate: >> the challenge for law enforcement is you can't track each and other individual 24/7 who appears on that watch list, and you can't follow and be intrusive from civil liberty's perspective from american citizens or u.s. persons who fall on that list. >> reporter: that list is constantly being updated here at the terrorist screening center just outside of washington. we were not permitted to record sound inside this highly secure command post where analysts keep all of the secret data on people with possible terror ties. 520,000 are now on the basic watch list called the terrorist screening database. 20,000 of them are on the highly restrictive no-fly list. about 700 of those are americans. most people on the watch lists are not routinely tracked, but about 55 times each day, someone on the watch list comes face to face with a t.s.a. officer, border agent, or police officer. those encounters do not usually produce arrests but the government uses the information to update its files on the movements of watch list suspects. now, this is almost a case of too much of a good thing. you see, with improved intelligence since 9/11, we now have an expansive database of potential terrorists. the challenge, of course, jeff, is to figure out which ones present the real threat. >> glor: bob orr, thank you. britain is on high alert after the terror attack and they intercepted a pakistani jetliner. the boeing 777 headed from pakistan to manchester was diverted to a small airport north of london. a pakistani official says two passengers threatened to destroy the plane, then said they were joking. they have been arrested. not far away, a british airways jet had to make an emergency landing at london's heathrow airport today when smoke started streaming out of an engine. you can see it here. video taken onboard shows the engine's cowling cover had blown off. all 75 passengers and crew got out safely. in oklahoma today, funerals were held for four of the victims of monday's tornado. kyle davis and nicholas mccabe, both students at plaza tower elementary school. terri long, mother of three, was in a 7-eleven that was destroyed, and randy smith, an electrician. fema workers fanned out across town, assessing damage and meeting with homeowners. in all, 24 people died in monday's storm and the toll would likely have been much greater if not for the early warning put out by the national weather service. mark strassmann met the man who sounded that alarm. >> tornado on the ground. >> reporter: this video shows monday's twister charging into moore, oklahoma. >> we have large debris in the air! >> reporter: the funnel cloud morphed within moments into an historic ef-5 tornado, with wind topping 200 miles per hour. onis was the scene monday after at the national weather system in norman, oklahoma, where chief forecaster david andrea tracked the storm. that is the tornado smack in moore. >> that is in the tornado in moore. >> reporter: he issued an emergency tornado warning, used only in extreme storms, for the first time in 10 years. he called for it 16 minutes before the tornado hit moore. did you know it was going to be as severe as it was or just knew it was potentially trouble? >> we knew the potential existed for particularly strong tornadoes that afternoon. >> reporter: were you looking at the storm not only as a forecaster but as a father and husband? >> you can't separate them. when you know what the outcome may be, your family is vulnerable just like everyone else out there. >> my gut told me to leave. >> reporter: elizabeth farrar, andrea's step-daughter, lives in moore. they talked monday morning about whether she should leave with her husband, abe, and their 13- month-old son keegan. >> i know his tone, i know how he says things and i could tell he was concerned about monday. >> reporter: you hoped that this was one of those moments when a daughter actually listened to their father. >> as they get older, they listen more. >> reporter: the tornado threw a construction dumpster on to the farrars' roof, on top of the bathroom where the family might have sought shelter. when you came home and saw the dumpster sitting on top of the baby's bathroom? >> yes, i lost it. seeing it the way that it is just-- i mean, i know that we don't have the type of damage that a lot of these other people do, but it's still-- it's still traumatic. >> reporter: farrar's stepfather is relieved, of course, that everyone and his family survived this, but he said it's hard to feel satisfied with the job he did sounding the alarm when so many people did die. >> glor: all right, mark, thank you. when sandy struck in october, there were promises beaches would be back open by this weekend. we'll check in. and 50 years after a church bombing in alabama, one survivor speaks for the first time when the cbs evening news continues. so you can capture your receipts, and manage them online with jot, the latest app from ink. so

five-and-a-half-mile-long ribbon to open the beach season. christie says about 80% of the shore has been restored, but getting there has not been easy. michelle miller is in sea bright. >> first we got it from the river. and it whacked right through the side. >> reporter: we first met shop owner brian george three weeks after super storm sandy ripped apart the jersey shore. what's holding this building up right now? >> i think a prayer. >> reporter: all 34 businesses were destroyed in this summer resort town, including his. but today, north shore menswear is one of at least a dozen that reopened. >> when we first left sea bright, we put a sign up, "we believe in sea bright. we'll be back." where we were there and where we are today it's unbelievable. it was a gamble. i was a little concerned but every week it got better and better. >> reporter: better for many of the businesses means reopening this weekend. they have a chance to earn 60% of their yearly profits this summer. right next door, scott kelly is in a mad dash to get the mad hatter bar back in business. >> don't forget, there was six, seven feet of sand in this building. >> reporter: when we spoke to him last march, he was struggling to settle with his insurance company. he still is. >> moving forward, the insurance money needs to come through. there's a reason why we have these policies in place, to protect us, and we're ready. >> reporter: are you surprised? >> i am. i was told that it was going to be a struggle. i didn't realize seven months later we would be dealing with this. >> reporter: instead of just waiting, kelly built a temporary restaurant bar on the back of his condemned building. >> we need income. we haven't paid our bills, our vendors in six months. at this point, even if it's half of what we had last year, it's still more than what we have now. >> reporter: what happens to the building come september? >> we'll be knocking it down and starting over again. >> reporter: so all this work you're putting into it-- >> it's for these 102 days. >> reporter: tourism is a $40 billion-a-year industry here in the state of new jersey and, jeff, this cold and wet memorial day weekend is not the start to the summer season many business owners had hoped for, but they're optimistic they will recoup their losses as more people hit the beaches and boardwalks in the coming months. >> glor: vermont is bracing for more bad weather tonight. heavy rains led to flash floods yesterday, washing out roads and damaging bridges in northern vermont. up to three inches of rain is

>> reporter: the kids' mom, rachquel, doesn't think they're ready to see the house yet. their dog charlie was in the house at the time, somewhere in that. but they say that's really the only thing left in their house that matters. >> we don't have a house but we still have a family. >> i don't really care about the house. >> reporter: after they found each other in the school yard, kids say they hugged for a long time, and haven't let go since. >> they're my only brothers. and if they died... i don't know what i would do. >> as a mom, it's, like, that's what you want, because you try to teach them that family is the most important thing. and it took this experience, i guess, for them to realize how much their sister and brother mean to them, you know. >> reporter: you would never wish the death and destruction of a tornado on anyone, but we could all use a little of the mindset that comes with one-- a chance to appreciate anew our brothers and sisters, parents, and even-- >> charlie! >> reporter: our puppy bogs. >> come here, baby! oh, my gosh! hi, baby! >> reporter: amazing how sometimes life's greatest gifts... >> he's sniffing you. >> reporter: ...are the ones we already had. steve hartman "on the road" in moore, oklahoma. >> glor: that is the cbs evening news tonight. for scott pelley, i'm jeff glor, good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org >> your realtime captioner: linda marie macdonald there are some bridges we have in california that are [ indiscernible ] >> kpix 5 has learned which bridges are in the same dangerous category as the one that came down in washington state. one of the worst is right here in the bay area. >> good evening, i'm allen martin. >> i'm elizabeth cook. the bridge disaster in washington state is raising questions about bridge safety. consider this. the bridge that collapsed last night has the same federal rating as at least one bay area bridge. kpix 5's linda yee has a look at some of the safety ratings. linda. >> reporter: well, liz, a lot that we have been hearing about that bridge that collapsed in washington was that it was functionally obsolete. so what does that mean in terms of safety and how many of those types of bridges do we have here in the bay area or even in california? well, take a look at the one right behind me. it's the western span of the bay bridge. the western span of the bay bridge is considered functionally obsolete because its design is outdated. for example, five lanes of traffic but no shoulders for emergency parking. unlike the washington bridge which is also outdated that doesn't make the bay bridge in danger of collapse. >> when you say functionally obsolete it has nothing to do with the structural integrity of the bridge. >> reporter: the american society of engineers says 17% of california's 25,000 highway and toll bridges are outdated. caltrans says it regularly monitors the bridges. >> we're always updating our standards and always bringing in the latest we know about bridge design and best practices. >> reporter: there's more concern for bridges that are considered structurally deficient. 12% of
