[ cheers ] >> on "cbs this morning." >> international day of happiness. it was started by the u.n. back in 2012 and georgia congressman john lewis did his part. >> nothing can bring me down. >> that's right. [ laughter ] >> this morning's "eye-opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." gayle king is off. good morning norah. >> hey, good morning to you, charlie. >> we begin with this as you wake up in the west, crews searching for flight 370 are regrouping. they wrapped up today's search off australia. attention remains on two objects spotted by satellite in the water. the larger piece is nearly 80 feet long, the other about 16 feet. >> planes and ships will resume their hunt at first light. the vast area being searched is 1,500 miles off the coast of australia. lee cowan is at pierce air force base in perth where the search is being coordinated. lee, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, norah. there are actually five search planes involved in the search effort today one more than there was yesterday. the first one took off a little bit after dawn here from the australia royal air force base just outside of perth. the last one took off just a couple of hours ago. and as you heard, the search has officially concluded for today anyway, as the planes start to make their way back. this is an effort to keep a constant rotation of planes going, to try to figure out what it was that was captured in the satellite images. international search planes took to the air yet again this morning to begin their long journey to one of the most remote places on earth. the southern reaches of the indian ocean. so far, they haven't found anything that resembles what was captured on the satellite images. radar searches turned up nothing in the water yesterday. today, it's largely a visual search. >> although the search area is much smaller than we started with, it nonetheless is a big area when you're looking at the window trying to see something by eye. >> reporter: in fact nothing has been seen is disappointing, especially given the weather gave those searching for the 777 a break today. but australian prime minister tony abbot says no one is giving up. >> it's the most inaccessible spot you can imagine on the face of the earth. if there is anything down there, we will find it. we owe it to the families of those people to do no less. >> reporter: the two mysterious specs, one some 80 feet long the other around 16 feet long have been drifting now for five days in currents that are some of the strongest in the world. a transport plane has been dropping marker buoys as a way to model their projected path. while no one is sure if the debris is, indeed pieces of the missing malaysian jetliner the area generally is the spot where it may have run out of fuel. but that's some 1,500 miles from the west coast of australia. it's so remote it takes longer to get out to the search area than it does to conduct the actual search itself, a grueling effort for everyone involved. >> we'd like to find something to give a bit of closure to the families and relatives of the people on board the malaysian airlines flight. >> reporter: a norwegian cargo ship has been in the area since yesterday, and today another merchant ship joined in the search. an australia naval vessel is due there sometime tomorrow. now, late today, australia's deputy prime minister hinted at whatever the objects are, may have actually sunk over the course of the last five days all the way down to the bottom of the ocean. that's one problem. the other problem is the weather. it looks as though they'll have another clear day tomorrow but by tomorrow night, the weather starts to deteriorate again, so whatever window they have to find the objects seems to be getting slimmer by the day. >> lee thanks. the satellite pictures offering the first hopes to answers, but they do little to explain how the plane may have flown thousands of miles off course. bob orr is in washington. bob, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> let me begin with this question. following up on what lee said, is it possible that if this plane went down in those oceans and has sunk to the bottom, we may not ever find it? >> it's a frightening possibility, charlie, but it is possible. i think what disturbs me here is the debris we saw on the satellites gave us hope that investigators were looking in the right area. it's not all that surprising that they haven't found those large objects yet. but what i think is troubling to investigators is they haven't found anything. if a plane is down in that area and you have a blossoming debris field, there will be something floating somewhere and if the big pieces sank i would expect lightweight material still to be available. and they haven't even come across that. so i'm not sure that now we're looking in the right place once again, charlie. >> bob, what tools do they have other than by sight and those that are on the sophisticated airplanes to discover any debris in the area? >> it's very very tough. you've got to first find at least some debris norah, to mark the spot where you start to map out the search field. they're dropping those buoys in the water. those are equipped with acoustic pinger receptors that can pick up the sounds of the black box pingers if they happen to be close to where the blacks bock pingers are. and if the boxes are not too deep. besides that though unless you start a massive grid search with ships on the surface, towing acoustic receivers, you really are just kind of hunting and pecking, trying to find -- trying to get lucky. we need some clue something on the surface to say, "yes this is approximately the right spot," and then from there, they can work their way back to map the debris field. >> here's what interests me too, bob, is -- people in the airline industry are looking at this plane, this crash -- this missing plane, saying we've got to do something different, and what might that difference be in terms of making sure you can track a plane that goes down? >> well, i'm not sure what you can do charlie, that's affordable and acceptable to the airlines. there's been an awful lot of talk about should planes have realtime black boxes -- that is should the data be streamed to the ground constantly? should satellites be better trained -- and somebody has to pay for that -- to track the movement of airplanes? i think it's a daunting cost. it's probably not something the industry would embrace. but if this goes on as an unsolved mystery, you're going to hear a lot of voices asking for better ways to track an airplane because it seems inconceivable to people that you can have satellites that can read your mailbox but can't find a missing boeing 777. >> that's a great point. bob orr, thank you. we should point out this morning we're now at the two-week mark 14 days since the families of the 239 people aboard flight 370 lost all contact. the relatives are thousands of miles from where the hunt is concentrated in the indian ocean. this morning malaysian officials say they had a frank discussion with those families and tried to answer most of their questions. they promised updates will keep coming. seth doane is in kuala lumpur where the relatives remain desperate for information. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, norah. that's right. all of the attention here in malaysia is still on that search off of the western coast of australia. authorities here tell us they believe that is still the most credible lead, though they do remind us the search continues in the northern corridor, as well. they cautioned us in today's press briefing that this will be, quote, in their words, "a long haul." ♪ in this kuala lumpur suburb midday prayers have taken on new urgency. >> every single prayer i am praying for mh-370. >> reporter: annur rizal comes here every day. many have wondered what the grainy satellite images out of australia might mean. >> still no concrete evidence so we still have the hope you know. hopefully, they are still alive. >> reporter: and there's particular interest in this international mystery at this community mosque. it's where the co-pilot of flight 370, fariq hamid, prayed. he lived just a few doors down. here, there are serene prayers for answers, but for passengers' family members living through this, there is still no peace. [ cries ] pent-up emotion exploded earlier this week just before a press relatives of missing chinese passengers protested against malaysia's government. xu dengwang was one of them. "we were there demanding a real answer, and in 12 days no real information was made public," he told cbs news after returning to beijing today. xu's wife liu fengying was on flight 370, returning home from a holiday. xu told us the lack of answers has been torture. xu told us that he felt he had been kidnapped, felt like he had been kidnapped by authorities after being pulled out of that meeting. and he noted it was interesting, he'd never met with any high-level officials here in malaysia until they had that protest. charlie and norah, he told us that he cannot bear to watch the news anymore. he just gets too disappointed. >> incredibly frustrating for them. seth doane, thank you so much. we should note the coverage of flight 370 will continue throughout the show. ahead, we'll travel deep to the sea with recovery experts. they'll show us what it takes to fine and salvage a plane from the ocean floor. vladimir putin completed the process of absorbing crimea into russia. he signed the bills despite western sanctions that are hitting his economy. two credit rating agencies downgraded their outlook for russia. those decisions came after president obama slapped new sanctions on members of putin's inner circle. >> this is not our preferred outcome. these sanctions would not only have a significant impact on the russian economy, but could also be disruptive to the global economy. however, russia must know that further escalation will only isolate it further from the international community. >> president putin quickly responded with travel bans on nine white house officials and congressional leader the. they include senate majority leader harry reid house speaker john boehner, and senator john mccain. mccain responded, ridicule in a tweet, he said quote, i guess this means my spring break in siberia is off. i'll never cease my efforts of peace in ukraine, which includes crimea. this morning, russia said it will refrain from further retaliation for now. ukraine's president said they'll never accept the annexation of crimea. as elizabeth palmer reports from simferopol crimea, the changeover is under way. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. well, all this diplomatic pressure hasn't slowed russia down in crimea one bit. the upper house of the parliament, the duma passed a treaty that will allow president putin to annex crimea by signing it into law. as soon as the referendum was over, some crimeans some delighted, others resigned, assumed russia would take over. so those who believe life with the kremlin in charge would bring improvements started applying for their new russian passports, and hard proof crimeans are getting on with the transition, some stores including on this military base are already accepting russian rubles. this sales clerk said people started paying in rubles yesterday. here they are. perfectly new ones. not even fake. you can see the ukrainian flag still flying here and there, over military bases or on ships where ukrainians servicemen are still holding out. though overnight, two ukrainian naval vessels were seized by pro-russian crowds and paramilitaries. several thousand military personnel, though do remain dug in on their bases. two days ago, the government promised they'd be part of a plan to evacuate safely to new jobs and lives across the border, but they're still waiting to hear how that will happen and how soon. the price of the annexation is turmoil in russia's financial markets. the stock market in moscow has taken a real beating this morning. in spite of russia's promises to the contrary of course the world is still watching to see if they're going to go one more step further and invade eastern ukraine. charlie, norah? >> thanks elizabeth. security in kabul, afghanistan, is stepped up this morning after deadly shooting at a luxury hotel. nine people including four foreigners, were killed thursday. it happened inside the restaurant at the serena hotel. the assault lasted some three hours. the four taliban gunmen were killed by security officials. officials in new york are investigating a security breach at the new world trade center. a teenager managed to get past security early sunday morning. he made his way to the top of the tower. michelle miller is at 1 world trade center where the stunt is raising questions about keeping the building safe when it opens later this year. michelle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie, and our viewers in the west. new york city police do know this -- that fence which lines the perimeter of one world trade center was the point of entry for justin charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass as port authority officials look for answers. an estimated $40 million has been spent on the security system at one world trade center. according to police all it took was a 12x12-inch hole in a construction zone fence for justin casquejo to break into the site. he has done this before posting pictures of himself in precarious positions. perched on a railing near the hudson river. >> he's always been adventurous. honestly, i didn't know it was him, but now that i know, i'm not surprised. >> reporter: the police report said the teen climbed scaffolding up to the sixth floor, took an elevator to the 88th floor, and from there he climbed the stairs to the 104th floor. the port authority, which is responsible for security at the site says a guard who was on duty has been fired, but the incident raises larger questions about what's been called the most high-profile terrorism target in america. and how secure it really is. back in september, surveillance cameras caught two parachutists landing near the world trade center building. whether it was a threat or merely a prank is not known. new york city mayor bill de blasio says this latest incident is troubling. >> obviously, it's shocking and troubling, and i don't know how it possibly could have happened. >> reporter: manny gomez, formally of the fbi and nypd says it highlights a miserable security failure. >> if a quasi-innocent kid could breach a building that's supposed to be impregnable, what can somebody who wants to do harm to that building -- what could somebody who has that mindset do? >> reporter: port authority officials say they will have to do a complete revamp of all of their security procedures to figure out where they're vulnerable. charlie and norah, one suggestion we've heard on the street from a lot of people is, hire justin to point out all the flaws. >> thank you, michelle. time to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. "usa today" looks at attacks scam, the irs says it's the largest it's ever seen. more than $1 million has been stolen from more than 20,000 victims. those victims have been threatened with arrest deportation, or the loss of their business if they don't pay the scammers. >> the fayetteville observer says the u.s. general charged with sexual assault will give up $20,000 in pay and he received a reprimand. no jail time. jeffrey sinclair pleaded guilty to lesser charges and says he will retire. the female officer who accused him said she wanted a more severe punishment and is, quote, devastated. >> britain's "guardian" said turkey blocked access to twitter this morning. the prime minister threatened to rip the roots out of the social media network. that's after wiretap recordings that appeared to incriminate him in a corruption scandal were leaked on the site. >> and it is 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning," an unprecedented look at the moment investigators identified boston bombing suspects. scott pelley is here and will stronger sea breeze overnight. some low clouds and fog have moved back onshore. so it's all pointing toward a cooler friday around the bay area as high pressure is weakening. out the door we go. we have some clouds early on that should gave way to some sunshine in the bay and the valleys this afternoon. but likely going to see those clouds lingering at the coastline. cooler, 50s and low 60s coastside, 60s and 70s into the valleys and bay. over the weekend a little warmer, chance of showers next tuesday. this national weather report sponsored by toyota. let's go places. ahead, inside the world of march madness betting at las vegas sports books heat up. >> the city and its legendary former mayor are ready. >> i'm having a great time. and it's only -- it's not even 9:00 and i'm halfway through it. >> the news is back this morning on "cbs this morning." stay tuned for your local news. jake and i have been best friends for years. one of our favorite things to do is going to the dog park together. sometimes my copd makes it hard to breathe. so my doctor prescribed symbicort. it helps significantly improve my lung function starting within five minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. with symbicort today i'm breathing better. come on, boy!

>> reporter: kurt has been performing search and recovery operations for 35 years. he's an expert at finding a plane's black boxes on the floor of the ocean. >> imagine that this is an airplane, and can you use your imagination, that's the ocean, the pinger goes in the water, and you can hear it chirping. >> reporter: newport works for phoenix international, whose experts have worked on similar recovery operation including the 1986 "challenger" explosion and the 2009 disappearance of air france flight 447. to find this you need one of these? >> something like it yeah. >> reporter: a pinger locator? >> right. >> reporter: but a pinger pings for only 30 to 40 days. after that this torpedo-shaped automated underwater vehicle, takes charge of the search. paul nelson is a project manager at phoenix. >> it will run a search pattern. think about mowing the lawn up and back up and back, and collects data for 24 hours. >> reporter: it can cover the size of an area like manhattan for four days. the hunt can be agonizingly slow. after the air france flight vanished over the atlantic with 228 people aboard it took three auvs two years to find it. and then there is the recovery. if flight 370 is located, a remotely operated vehicle, rov, will start the difficult task of recovering it from the ocean floor. >> it's the workhorse of the operation. this will go down to the bottom investigate the debris field, and recover any items of interest that the investigators determine that they need. >> reporter: now, one important thing to keep in mind is that when the people of phoenix international are doing a recovery operation, they say they are painfully aware that this is the scene of a horrible tragedy, and they go about their work in a very respectful manner. charlie and norah? >> chip, thanks. this sunday on "60 minutes," scott pelley takes an unprecedented look inside the investigation of the boston marathon bombing. next month marks one year since the attack. scott learned the lengths that the fbi agents went in their hunt for the suspected killers. >> rporter: it turned out the evidence that would solve the case had been collected before the first bomb exploded that monday. the fbi can travel back in time through the lenses of dozens of security cameras up and down boylston. >> almost 13,000 different videos were obtained under 120,000 -- actually more than 120,000 still photographs. >> reporter: at the fbi lab in virginia, 120 analysts were searching video feeds from boston. what are you looking for? >> somebody who just doesn't look similar to others in a crowd, who would be watching a race. >> reporter: was there a eureka moment in terms of the video, where somebody at some point said, "hey boss have a look at this"? >> yes it was. i believe wednesday morning. we watched that video hundreds and hundreds of times. >> scott, good morning. >> good morning, charlie, norah. great to be with you. >> what surprised you most about what they had? >> the people we just heard from charlie, that's rick deslauriers, in charge of the overall investigation, and the woman was stephanie douglas, who was the number three at the fbi headquarters, and she was running the investigation from up there. i think the thing that surprised me the most was the manpower just the sheer manpower. at least a thousand agents and analysts working on this case all at once which is how they were able to solve this in just 101 hours. >> it's incredible the massive crime scene and then 120,000 still photographs. i'd never heard that before. what was the moment that they thought they had something, that they had the pictures of the tsarnaev brothers? >> a photo analyst in boston going through the video again and again and again noticed this video that has not been seen in public in which the first bomb goes off, you don't see that but everybody in the shot in the video, looks suddenly to their left in shock and surprise except one guy. >> uh-huh. >> he doesn't look, doesn't turn around. isn't surprised. and he walks away. and earlier in that video, he had placed a backpack on the ground. 20 seconds after he walks out of the frame, the backpack explodes killing an 8-year-old boy, taking the leg from his 7-year-old sister and wounding many other people right there around that backpack. that was the eureka moment. and frankly, we're told that it is so horrific that they literally watched it 400 times to make sure they understood what was going on. but it took a toll on everyone including the director of the fbi, when they saw it. >> what do you mean by toll? >> charlie, after the bomb explodes and you see what is left there of the people who were standing around the backpack, it's a horrific scene, particularly because they're children. stephanie douglas describes in our "60 minutes" story that there is a man on fire, his clothes are on fire and a police officer leaps on him with his bare hands and puts the fire out with his bare hands, with no concern for his own safety. and it's apparently an incredibly moving video. it's not likely to be seen by anyone until the trial. >> thanks scott. good to have you here. >> great to be with you, thank you. >> you can see scott's full report on the boston marathon bombings sunday night on "60 minutes" here on cbs. and ahead, a slam dunk for sports betters. >> i'm in las vegas where the full madness of march madness is on display. we'll go behind the scenes with the oddsmakers coming up on "cbs this morning." mom, dad told me that cheerios is good for your heart is that true?

>> he was the einstein of lying. i mean he may be the 20th century champion of lying. he told me for example, one time when i said i had a tax problem that i could call a number which he gave me and get on the phone to george bush, the sitting president george bush jr., and solve it. he said his secretary won't answer. this is his private line. now, you might think i'm crazy for believing that that could possibly be real but i thought somebody has the president's phone number. you'd think it might be a rockefeller. >> but you're a journalist that didn't set off your b.s. meter? if someone told me that i would think this guy is a phone. >> have you met rich people who happen to be phonies, who brag a lot? >> you have to ask that? >> we don't want to embarrass anybody on live tv. >> i know poor people are phony, too. >> yeah. sure, but clearly. so this guy, you partly wanted in. you liked the idea of knowing a rockefeller which made yoi a bit more gullible or not? >> a little bit. i went to prince torn and grew up on a farm in minnesota. they didn't treat me all that well at the prep school and the club at princeton so being friends with a rockefeller felt good. >> so you go to see him in jail? >> after he was convicted i went to visit him in jail. >> i asked him if he committed the murder and no he blamed it on the wife of the victim who was probably also murdered. i asked him how did you con people for all those years and what is the secret of human beings. he said walter it's very sifrmel, it's vanity vanity vanity. you play to your vanity. >> he played to your vanity too. that's the point. >> this book is go going back and finding out how i was tricked. americans are tricked by leaders and their business leaders and wives their husbands but every time we're tricked we participate. how did i participate? >> how did he appeal to your vanity and other people's vanity? how did he trick them? >> one thing he told me was i was his best friend. everybody else wanted something from him, and everyone wanted his money and because i was a writer and an artist i was satisfied with myself and was the only person he could trust. i mean crazy. >> interesting. >> when you look at the end of this and you write this book he's a killer. >> yeah. he's a killer. and learning that he was a killer made the trap door open underneath me. i realized that not only had i been in the company of a fraud, but somebody who was capable of cutting up a body into three pieces putting it in bags and burying it in the yard. there's no -- there's no reducing that. >> thank you walter. >> thank you. >> thank you. upon.
