Our terry moran was on the plane with the pope and well get to all that in a moment. An electrifying moment. Well begin with that terrifying chopper crash in hawaii. It went down with five tourists on board. A 15yearold passenger is in Critical Condition this morning. Well talk with two men who after this report from our Kayna Whitworth in honolulu. Good morning, kayna. Reporter yeah, george, good morning to you. That tour helicopter, i want to show you where it crashed, right behind me in that murky water and it is still there this morning. This is an area visited by nearly 2 Million People every year and helicopter tours are very popular. But once you see this video, its hard to imagine anyone made it out alive. A heartstopping moment caught on camera. This helicopter carrying tourists near pearl harbor suddenly plummeting into the ocean just 20 feet from shore. Oh. Reporter a family of four including a 15yearold boy and the pilot on board. The chopper falling from the sky, then crashing into the water. Sinking near the popular pearl harbor visitors center. Witnesses frantically jumping in to help. We all jumped the wall and ran over to help. I pulled everything out of my pocket pockets. Three people swam to the surface but the 15yearold reportedly trapped underwater for several minutes before he was finally pulled out of the wreckage. We got him. Oh, god. Yay. [ applause ] whoo. Reporter First Responders performing cpr on the boy before he was transported to the hospital in Critical Condition. Three minutes that person was underwater. That was scary. Reporter this morning the ntsb is investigating what caused this doors off helicopter to go down. Bystanders say the last thing they heard was the chopper sputtering then two loud bangs before it crashed. Now, in addition to that 15yearold boy who is still listed in Critical Condition this morning, three other people were taken to the hospital. One was released overnight. Now this tour was run by genesis aviation and at this point they have no comment. George. Thanks, kayna. We are joined by Christian Gardner who jumped in to save those passengers and shawn on tape. Thank you both for joining us this morning. Chris, let me just begin with you. When did you realize what was going wrong and what did you do . I heard the helicopter. I did not see it. I just heard it go into what we call auto rotation and i saw people running and screaming and all your instincts kicked in. What did you see when you got underwater and how did you guys manage to get the person in the belt free . Pearl harbor is pretty murky. Luckily the helicopter is only in about ten feet of water. And they were fortunate to have been flying with the doors off, which is a good thick. You know, so the passengers were accessible. Everybody had gotten out except i guess he was a kid in the back. Aand you guys had to cut through that seat belt. A couple other guys in the water with me, brian who is a federal Police Officer and we had a navy sailor and one of them finally got a knife and we through and it took a long time. Six or seven minutes to finally cut through it. And shawn, as you were there, you just happened to be turning in the direction of the helicopter, right . I just happened to have, you know, my phone aimed or in that direction and, you know, noticed the helicopter flying awkwardly low and essentially coming straight for us. I wasnt sure. I thought it would be cool why didnt you run . At that instant i did have a moment twarry fear for safety of myself and others around with rotating blades and you can actually see in the slow motion video where i did actually duck a little bit right after the impact. And thank goodness now everybody is doing better this morning. Chris, you know, did you ever think about the danger you were putting yourself in . You acted so quickly. You know, anybody else would there was multiple people that jumped in the water at the same time, so its just the way we do it here in hawaii. And a lot of people are grateful that you did. Thanks very much. Morning. All right. Aloha. Youre welcome. Thats how they do it there in hawaii and hopefully everybody will make a full recovery. The other big headline this morning. Donald trump versus the pope. The two caught in a public war of words as pope francis proclaims the gop frontrunner is not christian and a new poll out this morning shows trumps lead is shrinking in South Carolina. Abcs tom llamas has the latest, joins us from columbia. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you. That shows the magnitude of Donald Trumps unorthodox campaign and his controversial policies. On the global stage a world leader condemning trump and that new poll you showed down here in South Carolina, the race is tightening. A new fight for donald trump, pope francis proclaiming what whispering, that trump is not christian. I didnt think it was a good thing for him to say, frankly. Reporter the pope making the statement on a flight back to mexico in his papal plane. A person who thinks only about building walls wherever they may be and not of building bridges is not christian, the pope said. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] theyre using the pope as a pawn and they should be ashamed of themselves. Reporter trump, the South Carolina frontrunner blaming mexico for convincing the pope trumps border wall is not humane and his campaign tweeting an image of vatican city showing its surrounded by walls. So, if and when the vatican is attacked by isis, which as everyone knows is isis trophy, i can promise you that the pope would have only wished and prayed that donald trump would have been president. And trump who just a few days ago said this about senator ted cruz i have never seen anybody and he goes around saying hes a christian. Reporter trump now saying this. No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another mans religion or faith. Reporter but in this fight, cruz was trying to stay neutral. Listen, thats between donald and the pope. Im not going to get in the middle of that. Do you think its unchristian to have a border wall . Reporter senator cruz also favors a border wall. Reporter do you think its unchristian to build a border wall . His comments. Unchristian . Now. Thank you. Reporter overnight senator this. The pope wasnt speaking about a theological matter but a political matter. I disagree with a lot of things donald trump said but i do think america has a right to secure its borders. Reporter donald trump still says he wants to meet the pope and respects his position as head of the catholic church. Trump counterpunch, but, again, robin, we are talking about the pope. Thank you. Chief Foreign Correspondent terry moran was part of that midair News Conference on board the papal plane and joins us now from the vatican. Terry, that must have been something on the plane like that. Did the pope intend to inject himself into the president ial race . Reporter well, good morning, robin. It was a stunning moment and we all looked at each other when he said it. I think the pope is being accurately quoted. He knew exactly what he was doing. He knows who donald trump is. Look at his face when hes asked about him and, in fact, hes been saying these things to european leaders here, the exact same kind of things. Also you go back to his time in oregon, argentina he gave a lot of politicians headaches. He knows exactly what hes doing here. Ive traveled like many of us to vatican city many types and im trying to recall that wall that donald trump is referring to. What is he talking about . Reporter well, theyre pretty spectacular. They surround much of the vatican, thousandyearold out bandits and invading barbarians and such, however, just behind me here, thats st. Peters square. You can walk right in. Theres no wall. Just a little white line on the pavement and millions of people walk in there every year. No police check. No border check. People just walk right into the vatican. Thats the point. Quite open to the public. All right, thank you. We move on to the democrats and what looks like a dead heat in nevada. The latest polls show Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders neck and neck and ramping up the attacks ahead of tomorrows caucuses. Cecilia vega is on the scene in las vegas. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter hi, george, good morning to you. The attacks are at fever pitch here but Bernie Sanders is feeling confident. He says if people show up tomorrow he could win this. Overnight, Hillary Clinton firing off on Bernie Sanders for criticizing the president. Senator sanders wasnt really a democrat until he decided to run for president. You know what, well, its true. Reporter the final forum before saturdays caucuses, the two rivals in this neck and neck there is one of the two Democratic Candidates here who actually ran against barack obama. It wasnt me. I take a backseat to nobody in being very clear about what i will do to make sure wall street never crashes main street again. Reporter sanders also saying he is a feminist and this. In fact, Gloria Steinem made me an honorary woman many, many years ago. Reporter in this fight to the finish both sides fighting to win latino and Union Workers in the silver state. Im not just making speeches or promises free this and free that and free everything. Reporter in the process, they nearly came facetoface on the picket line, clinton first, just minutes later, sanders right there too. So thank you very much for what you are doing. Ending. Sanders accusing clinton of an election year. And we know what thats about. Thats trying to win support from the africanamerican enormously popular. Reporter and clinton asked if shes always told the truth caught up on her own answer. Ive always tried to. Always. Always. Reporter and i stop by one of Hillary Clintons Campaign Offices here in las vegas. I can tell you it was packed full of volunteers. They are making thousands of calls just out of that one office alone every single day. Bernie sanders, george, might be feeling of can dent but Hillary Clinton is not going down without a fight here. George. Caucuses at 11 00 a. M. Tomorrow. Cecilia, thanks very much. Lets talk about it with our analyst matt dowd and cokie roberts. Lets begin with the comments from the pope. Your mom served as ambassador to the vatican for several years. How surprised with were you that the pope injected himself in this way . Well, i was a little bit surprised but he has been very clear on all kinds of issues where he thinks hes following what jesus said which is what it is to be christian. He backed away when people said should you not vote for donald trump, he said, im not going to say ill give him the benefit of the doubt. But his basic statement that if what youre going to do is build walls instead of bridges, its kind of hard to argue with. Although that would implicate a lot of the other candidates, as well, not just donald trump. Meanwhile, matthew dowd, what impact do you think it has on the race . This whole story makes me think this should start with the pope and a president ial candidate walk into a bar. In the course of this i think its an amazing week that weve had. You have a candidate, the leading candidate for the republicans to get in a fight with the pope. Get in fight with the popular governor and the popular republican president. Get in fight with a popular incumbent us senator and is likely to win the South Carolina primary in the course of this. I think this doesnt hurt him at all and in some ways it may help him. If people have to pick between building a wall and supporting the pope, theyre going to in the republican primary right now theyre going to pick building the wall and you can see every other one of Donald Trumps near this or theyve supported donald trump in this. Meantime, cokie, you are actually its also important to keep right in South Carolina where the catholic population is 7 total. This might have been a much more difficult moment for donald trump in New Hampshire or iowa where the catholic population is 35 , 25 . So this is not a state where the pope is likely to be terribly popular. End of the line for some gop candidates tomorrow . Yes, i think at best a fourway Going Forward so 64 and could be a threeway race after tomorrow. Matt dowd, cokie roberts, thanks very much. Back to robin. Now, george, back to that big warmup heading east and the firenados heading to the plains and rob marciano is tracking it all for us. Good morning out in times square. Its 25 degrees but weve seen this week we can go from winter to spring, even summer in a hurry and thats exactly what well do. Already happening in the plains. Look at this video out of pratt county, missouri, just outside fires yesterday. A firenado or whirl, kind of a dust devil in those fires were controlled quickly. Some minor evacuations but to danger there. Wind warnings up. More high fire danger in the central part of the u. S. And wind watches from california all the way to new york state. Temperatures in the 70s and 80s again and that gets to new york city by the end of the week. Robin, back over to you. Thank you. Now to the Supreme Court, the world, of course, remembering Justice Scalia as his body lies in repose today in the Supreme Court building. President obama and the first lady expected to pay their respects this afternoon ahead of tomorrows funeral. Abcs jon karl is outside the court for us now. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin. Its a day of history, tradition and remembrance at the Supreme Court. The casket carrying Justice Scalias body will be brought here later carried up the steps of the Supreme Court into the on what is called the lincoln catta till 8 00 tonight. The public can pay its respects. Tomorrow the Funeral Service and at that Funeral Service tomorrow, robin, the homily given by justice paul scalia, thats justice reverend paul scalia, that is Justice Scalias son. And were told that the obamas will not be attending the funeral tomorrow. Do we know why . Reporter well, the white house said the president felt the most appropriate place for him to pay his respects would be here. He will be here at the court, as you mentioned later today and tomorrow Vice President biden will represent the white house at the service. They point out that biden has a much smaller security detail, will be less disruptive. President. His name is being mentioned as a possible Supreme Court reporter yeah, possible nominee. I wouldnt really suggest thats likely to happen. But its interesting, neither yesterday refused to rule it out but i would say that would be a highly unlikely possibility, robin. Im sure going to be hearing a lot of names in the near future. Have a good weekend. Thank you. Now to amy with the other top developing stories right now starting with breaking news against in the fight against isis. Thats right. We are getting word of a u. S. Air strike in libya. The target was an isis camp west of the capital city of tripoli. Believed to be the location of an isis leader wanted for attacks in nearby tunisia. No word if he was killed but more than 30 isis recruits reportedly have died. Apple may have extra time in its battle against the fbi. Bloomberg reporting theyve been given until next friday to respond to a court order directing them to unlock the cell phone that belonged to syed farook. Facebook is the latest tech company to support apple in fighting the order citing those privacy concerns. And some shocking video from south texas. The tap water, look at that, in one city looks more like oil. Wow. People in crystal city say they water system was being flushed. This all comes as several city offs face corruption charges. The mayor you see there was recently led away in handcuffs. Overseas a nearmiss at this train station. A man running across the tracks barely escapes with his life. The train came in just as he was about to jump onto the platform but he hurried back with seconds to spare. And finally, this may look like liquid hot magma but its not. These images show a rare phenomenon at Yosemite National park for only a few days each february the sun hits Horsetail Falls just right making the water look like a river of fire magma. Thank you. Its been a long time. Thank you. You held it in for a little while. End with a bang. To rob. The winds cranking today, george. Cold front coming through salt lake city. Look at that picture yesterday your Weekend Getaway now. Good morning, everyone. Happy friday. Were here in the Weather Center where we have a beautiful view across the park. Sunshine, thats 25 degrees and dress warmer. Its 17 around white p
