This morning we hear directly from those onboard for the first time. Theres no lights. No water. We cant flush. Highway to the danger zone and caught on tape. The corvette versus the chopper. Gripping video just released of a dangerous stunt in the desert for a top reality show. The chopper spinning wildly out of control and crashing. Unbelievably, the pilot walks away. And good morning, everyone. Happy mardi gras to robin. Shes going to be back in just eight days. You see it right there. Great to have Elizabeth Vargas here. Lara is back, as well.

Vatican and buenos aires, with a special edition of gma. And good morning, america. Robin off today. Great to have Elizabeth Vargas and john muller here on this historic day. It is great to be here on such a big morning. It certainly is. Right to rome right now where pope francis began his first morning as head of the Catholic Church by visiting romes largest cathedral. Something of a humble start. Went through a Side Entrance before an icon of the virgin mary. See him right there, spent about 30 minutes in contemplation and went outside and see people kissing his ring. Hes not really used to it this first day. Almost seems if he wants to shake their hands, but, of course, he is going to get used to this. He is the leader of 1. 2 billion catholics right now. A man famous for being out amongst the people washing their feet so this must be a change. You may remember that last night he told those crowds packed in st. Peters square just after his announcement that he intended to pray to th
Making their way despite the terrible rain trying to be first to watch and see what happens. To explain, the cardinals will make their way across the back of the vatican to the Sistine Chapel.

There are big screens up so they can see the chimneys clearly but as you say, this morning, here in the square people werent sure whether it was black or white smoke.

Earlier this morning i spoke to vatican Senior Communications adviser greg burke, and we began by talking about the issue of the day, the black smoke which weve now seen twice and why there was so much confusion because it was a great deal darker last night. There were lots of tweets last night saying very, very black smoke, you know, no doubt about
Meeting today of the cardinals before they head into the conclave and start the actual voting process. This process has been described in many different ways, an interesting one tweeted a while ago by greg burke, the vatican spokesman, who said life is like baseball, tomorrow is opening day in vatican city. To continue that metaphor, the question on all our minds is how many innings will this all take. Over the weekend, the pipe, the chimney pipe that will offer the smoke to give us our indication of the voting was affixed atop the Sistine Chapel. We can show you a picture of the papal balcony where the scarlet drapes have been hung, where as soon as tomorrow a new pope could greet this city and greet the world. This morning, cardinals are reflecting over the task at hand after a weekend spent celebrating mass at their assigned parishes all across rome. Tomorrow, it all begins with a special mass together, the 115 voting cardinals gathered here at the vatican will then file into the Si
