jim reports. >> reporter: this is the video the white house wants the world to see. osama bin laden, once the world's most notorious terrorist seen here armed only with a tv remote as he dials up old videos of himself. but these are images of an old man in a stocking cap bundled up against the cold and in spartan surroundings, nothing close to a mansion. unlike earlier videos, where his beard is dyed black, here, it's almost totally gray. in fact, u.s. officials say it's the same gray beard bin laden had when the navy s.e.a.l.s shot and killed him. >> here he died as much a prisoner as if he had been in maximum security. >> other videos show bin laden stumbling looking off camera for some reaction. how did he avoid detection for nearly five years only 35 miles from pakistan's capital and in the shadow of the country's top military academy? president obama suspects bin laden had to have had a support network inside pakistan. >> we don't know whether there must have been some people inside of government, people outside of government, and that is something that we have to investigate and more importantly the pakistani government has to investigate. >> many in congress also have their doubts. >> it is extraordinarily hard to believe that he could have survived there for five years or more in a major population center without some kind of support center and knowledge. >> and not only survived. national security adviser tom donnelley said evidence gathered at the compound shows bin laden was still calling the shots for al qaeda. >> he was involved strategically included including in their propaganda efforts. >> the evidence also shows before his death, bin laden was still intent on killing americans, attacking u.s. targets such as trains which would result in mass casualties. >> meanwhile, when it comes to the final photos showing a dead osama bin laden, most americans agree with the president's decision to keep them out of public view. nearly two-thirds back president obama with 52% strongly believing the president should not release the photos. by comparison, only 29% want the images unsealed. meanwhile, here in america, many residents of memphis, tennessee have had to abandon their homes and head for higher ground as the swollen mississippi rivers expanded. >> reporter: across memphis, the water continues to rise, pushing up against sidewalks 20 miles from the normal shoreline. >> it's overwhelming. it's just overwhelming to see it so high. >> and getting even higher. emergency teams are helping dozens move to higher ground, some loaded to city buses to push through the water. arrive to safety before all of the roads in the lowest lying areas are blocked. in downtown memphis, the fight to keep the water out continues. men and machine working around the clock and against the clock with the near record crest expected later today. jay grey, nbc news, memphis. >> now to an amazing story of survival about a 56 yield canadian woman straned in a remote part of nevada who managed to keep herself alive for seven weeks. she's regaining her strength in the hospital as the seven for her husband continues. nbc's shelly ostr alo has the details. >> it was back on march 14th when albert and rita left their home for a trade show. that same day, a camera photographed them in the store in eastern oregon. 400 miles later in the nevada wilderness, their van got stuck. >> our understanding is that they took a few wrong turns. they wanted to take a scenic route. >> their van wound up in this wilderness area of nevada, south of the idaho border. rita stayed alive seven weeks melting snow in the sun for water. after 49 days, her strength waning, rita spotted some people riding alter rain vehicles and flagged them down. >> she convinced them that she needed help and they went and got help for her. >> at this twin falls idaho hospital where she's recovering, she was able to spend mother's day with her son and daughter-in-law. >> we're praying for a mishg sxl boy, did we get one. >> now they're praying that rita's husband, albert, will soon be found alive. three days into the ordeal, he took off carrying a gps device looking for help. rita's doctors at the hospital say they are amazed at her remarkable recovery. it is unusual for us to see something in this situation to not only survive, but do be doing so well at this time. >> reporter: her children say while they pray for their mother's survival, they pray searchers will now find their fare. here is i don't a look at your first news going on around america today. cup cake frosting and pacifier on the hood of a car provided evidence of a horrific ordeal. a driver under the influence of pcp barreled through a children's birthday party. the driver never stopped plowing through an inflatable bouncer with several children inside and he collided with an off duty police officer who made the arrest. three children were sent to the hospital. a group of children playing on an inflatable slide in california saw their day of fun turn disastrous. eight kids were injured when the slide collapsed. officials say the accident occurred because too many people were on the slide. fortunately, all of the injuries were minor. in colorado, some people are facing off with gators just for the fun of it, believe it or not. at the alligator wrestling class, the animals are real and the students learn moves to gain the upper handled just in case they ever happen to encounter a gator. and running is not an option. now for a look at the national weather, we turn to nbc meteorologist bill karins with the weather channel forecast. running is not an option, but that is unfortunately what i would be doing. >> i thought you were supposed to poke them in the eyes, or maybe that's sharks. >> they're really small, though. >> we saw the story on the mississippi river. that continues to be the big story out there. as we go throughout this week, we aren't going to see any heavy rain along the mississippi area or along the arkansas/mississippi river. we're taking all that rain we had in april and sending it down the river. right now, the crest is here, just north of memphis, right along the arkansas/mississippi border. most of the damage is already done. as we go downstream in greenville, you'll have your second all-time highest crest. it will take a week only to go from memphis to greenville and another two or three days after that, it will go down to vicksburg. by the time it gets to vicksburg or mississippi and louisiana, it should be at record crest values for those regions. so still going to be a devastating story over the next week or two. now, as far as severe weather goes today, the weather pattern is rg stagnant. by that, i mean it's not going to move. whatever you had yesterday, there's a good chance you're going to see that again today. if you're in new york, philly, baltimore, d.c., virginia, back through ohio, that means you're going to have great weather. now, back in the northern plains where it's been stormy, it's going to stay that way. this is where all the severe weather is going to be over the next couple of days. right now, we have thunderstorms rolling across southern minnesota. in minneapolis, st. paul, i'd give it another hour or two hours. look at this line of storms it's going to hold it together as it goes through your region. later today, severe weather is likely in almost all of south dakota and an area sounds of chicago down through industrial illinois. so today, stormy weather in the plains, hot in texas and on the east coast, it will be enjoyable. more details on that, coming up. speak can of gorgeous weather, my mom wants to say thank you for the nice weather on mother's day. >> no
