A shocking split, Gwyneth Paltrow and chris martin call it quits. How theyre working together to maintain their family. If you had only joined us a few seconds before we were on air, that much. We say good morning, america, wednesday morning. We want to take a look at this. We all know its spring. Tell the map here in new england. Were going to show you a picture off the coast of cape cod. Oh, wow. A blizzard up there right now. Its like a movie scene with a bad rain. Thats all snow, my friend. Its the real deal. You heard it here. Ginger is going to have the latest. We begin with the search for the missing plane. Theyre now calling this the most incredible lead. 48 hours after the Prime Minister declared all 239 lost, planes race to this area. Were going to go to abcs david kerley. Good morning to you. Good morning, josh. Could this be the break the searchers are looking for. As the malaysians say this is the most credible lead so far. This shows 122 items, some as big as 75 feet long and some of the areas other satellites saw, too. A french satellite snapped these three days ago. Some form of object. It is confirmed to be mh 370 and then we can move onto next stage. Reporter while these satellites see something, none of the ships on the water have been able to find debris. On one of those search flights today, abcs clayton sandell. Were in the search area, in the region where satellites spotted debris. Reporter searchers are racing against the clock. The pingers on the black boxes, if they are working, have another 11 days of battery life and then the ticking sound will fade. While the u. S. Navy has flown in subs mirrorsible equipment, they wont be on the water for days. Why arent submarines involved . They have computers on board, sensitive capabilities. Reporter the u. S. Navy says it needs debris to track back to a smaller location to even start listening to pingers. Were racing against the clock, racing against that battery running out on those tankers. It sounds like were getting closer and closer to the debris area which is west of where we think the path was of this aircraft. Even once we find the debris, the hard part comes below this flight path. Thats where we have to search underwater. Way tougher than looking for debris on the surface. Josh and robin . Of course well have updates all morning long as they become available. Now to more trouble for the secret service. Three members of an elite unit responsible for protecting president obama overseas have been sent home for drinking hours before going on duty. Abcs Jonathan Karl traveling with the president and joins us this morning. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin. These were three members of the secret services assault team. They were allegedly so drunk that one of them passed out in the hallway of the president s hotel. This happened two days before the president got here. The secret service says that the president s security was never compromised. Ever since that scandal involving prostitutes and secret Service Agents in columbia, they have zero tolerance policy for alcohol. Thats why these three agents were sent home. They dont want this trouble again with the agency. Jon, you were with the president as well yesterday and you asked him a question thats generating a lot of attention this morning. Lets take a look. In the light of recent developments, do you think mitt romney had a point when he said that russia is americas biggest geopolitical foe and if not russia, who . Russia is a Regional Power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors. Not out of strength but out of weakness. Russias actions are a problem. They dont pose the Number One National Security Threat to the united states. I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a Nuclear Weapon going off in manhattan. That was a real provocative answer from the answer, a real challenge for vladimir putin. He of course sees russia as a super power, not simply a Regional Power. Robin are, we have had no response yet from the russians. We should say making headlines across the country, here the daily news has a picture of what he was describing, a Nuclear Weapon here in manhattan. Terrifying to think about it. Thank you, jon. Were going to turn now to the weather. Certainly doesnt seem like its march 26th, does it . A blizzard in new england and the deep south suggest differently. Thats heading all the way down to florida. Were going to head to ginger zee with it all. It snowed on spring. Thats the best way to visualize it. Lets go back to that shot that was crazy out of chatham, massachusetts, that wind blowing 30 to 40 Miles Per Hour, sustained. Well see gusts in the 60, possibly 80 mile per hour today. Even if youre not getting the snow you will get the wind. From philadelphia to Atlantic City and new york city you wont see the snow but you have gusts up to 50 Miles Per Hour. This is not just this morning. We have to go out west because the big headline out there, that mudslide, this is going to hamper a lot of the efforts. Look at that heavy rain through saturday, six inches or more in parts of southwest oregon. That rain you were just referring to is going to make the recovery effort from that mudslide even harder. At least 24 confirmed dead. That number expected to rise as dozens are unaccounted for. Reporter firefighters say the force of the slide was like a mud tsunami. Its something very personal such as a whole group of little toys that belonged to some little child today sit not guilty a basket. That was a killer. Reporter officials recovered two more bodies tuesday and located another 8 that they havent been able to free yet, bringing the death toll to 24. Its slow going. Its not like it can take you five minutes to walk 40 feet. Then youve got nails sticking out of the ground and things that can hurt you. Reporter the search now entering its fifth day almost impossibly difficult, rescue teams facing quicksand like mud. Theyre literally getting stuck sometimes up to their waist. Reporter searchers pinging cell phones, anything to help them find them under a mountain of trees and debris. Even with cameras and sonar, they say search dogs have been the most effective. We were out there for about six hours, waist deep in mud, digging through debris. Reporter some of those who didnt make it, a veteran navy commander. Linda mcpherson, a former librarian and a dental Office Manager and mother. Three in a growing list, part of a community that still hasnt come to grips with their loss. Reporter as you can see theyre expecting yet another bad day of weather out here today which is really slowing things down. Rescue teams say they are determined to not give up until they find everyone, but that may take quite a while. Robin . Thank you. Were going to turn now to a remarkable rescue and it was all caught on camera. A Houston Construction worker trapped with nowhere to go. Flames ungolfing this apartment complex. All around him, he tries climbing off the balcony and ends up dangling. John muller is here with the story. You heard the expression close call, it doesnt get closer than this. That construction worker defying flames and certain death and he got an assist from houstons bravest. Oh, my god oh, no, my god the video is jaw dropping. Watch again as this wall of fire comes crumbling down, barely missing a construction worker and a firefighter. Moments earlier the construction worker seemed doomed, dangling off a fifth floor balcony edge at the luxury apartment complex he was working on erupt into a five alarm fire. He drops to the balcony below only to lose his footing. When we saw his foot slip we thought he was going to be gone. Reporter the man was reportedly about to jump when captain hawthorne emerged on that ladder. That collapse, the final fiery obstacle the duo was escaping in the nick of time before both men made it to safety. It took 200 firefighters to contain the blaze, the cause still under investigation. Incredibly, nobody was hurt. Just amazing. This morning all the construction workers who went into that building are safe and accounted for. Fire officials are looking into reports that flames started on a roof where welding was taking place but the investigation continues. In this job we see a lot of close calls. None closer than that. Thats remarkable. Thanks for bringing that. You get. Were going to turn now to amy with a look at todays stop stories. We begin with the white house giving people more time to sign up for obamacare. Anyone who begins an application before the march 31 deadline will now be allowed to finish it. The white house predicts a crush of applicants in the final hours could cause a computer traffic jam. A problem in space for an american astronaut and two russians on board a rocket that blasted off tuesday but their docking on the International Space station has been delayed because of a failed engine burn. They are not in danger. The coast guard is now conducting surprise inspections of cruise ships. Most ships are registered . Foreign countries but they cannot board passengers in the u. S. Unless they pass inspection. In connecticut, a speeding car careened off a highway exit ramp and crashed right into this gas station plowing into five other cars and barely missing the pumps. Four people were injured including that driver who now faces dui charges. One of the biggest stars in College Sports found himself in the middle of this huge brawl. Heisman trophy winner quarterback Jameis Winston who is also a relief pitcher had to be held back by security officers. Three players were ejected in that game. Facebook is betting that Virtual Reality is here to stay. It is now paying 2 billion dollars to buy oculus, a company that makes a headset that creates a Virtual World for users. Actual human contact. 2 billion. Finally, speaking of facebook who created this reunion. A young woman abandoned at a burg king when she was a baby, met her birth mother. She posted this facebook request for help in finding her birth mom. That picture was shared 30,000 times and guess what, it caught the attention of her birth mom. Katherine herself, the mother of three boys, says the resemblance was so strong it was like looking in the mirror. She described the experience of pure joy. Her mom wants to remain private because of all the media attention. She said it was better than anything she could have imagined. He mom asked for forgiveness. She was just 17. She said ill happily give it to you. This is what a followup is all about. Now to a terrifying accident out in idaho, two b. A. S. E. Jumpers and their parachutes tangled. Somehow they survived. Reporter this morning dramatic images after a b. A. S. E. Jump goes wrong. These men seen here on instagram and facebook miraculously surviving a 486foot fall from idahos bridge. Police say he got tangled and the two young men apparently plummeting, hitting the ground, rescue crews rushing to help. They landed in a marshy area between the bank or the shore line and the water. Reporter air lifted to the hospital monday morning, raw taken there by boat and ground. Both young men suffering serious injuries. Police say it is legal for b. A. S. E. Jumpers to use this bridge, but take a look at this video taken at the bridge last month showing just how quickly things can go wrong. These two jumpers get tangled up on the way do you think, helplessly fighting to regain control. Luckily for them they landed in the water. In this particular spot there is not a lot of room for error. If the chute doesnt open, theyre a little over 4. 5 seconds from bridge to water. Reporter thrill seekers like this tend to like those off limit and illegal spots. We saw it this week. B. A. S. E. Jumpers released video throwing themselves off one World Trade Center in new york last september. Nobody was hurt there, but at utahs Zion National park, three b. A. S. E. Jumpers died in the last two months alone. The third body recovered just this tuesday. For Good Morning America gio benitez, abc news, new york. Thank you for that. We turn now to a colorado 9yearold who shaved her head as an act of solidarity for the friend whos battling cancer. Her schools reaction . To ban her from the classroom for violating their dress code. That obviously sparked a wave of outrage. Reporter they are best friends who do everything together so when she lost her hair to cancer i got treatment called chemotherapy and it makes it fall out.

One, in a Clinical Trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin theres no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why im shooting for Something Better. Eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. Breaking news.
