who's in? who's out? we have all the details. yeah. we did it. we shook that background music up. not the traditional british song. we wanted to rock it out this weekend. let's play it again. ♪ it's the final countdown >> singing that all morning. >> that brings back bad memories of the '80s. >> this band called europe. bigger hair than mine. >> bianna pointed out, this was not deliberate, but i'm wearing a royal blue tie. bianna is leaving after the show to lead off our coverage tomorrow morning with the royal wedding coming up. >> i think i was more nervous for my wedding than she probably is. she's holding it together. we're all going to be there. the rest of the "gma" team. robin's there. going to be there all week. very exciting. >> looking forward to it. also this morning, a lot of people back home are talking about the wedding and gas prices. they're continuing to skyrocket. they're averaging more than $4 a gallon in many states. and one economist says we could see $6 gas before the end of the summer. is there anything to stop this meteoric rise? and we haven't reached peak driving season yet. the other question out there, is your smartphone too smart? a lot of people are upset about the news this week that your iphone keeps track of you everywhere you go. and we hear that google's android phones are also tracking you. i downloaded a program to see how my phone tracks me. we have tips on how to protect your own privacy, coming up. we're going to start with if huge storms that tore a path of destruction in five states and left the st. louis airport shut down indefinitely. there's no serious injuries so far. ron claiborne kicks us off. >> good morning, dan. four people at the airport suffered minor injuries, which is pretty amazing, considering an apparent tornado ripped through airport's main terminal. it was one of two dozen tornadoes through missouri, illinois, arkansas and kentucky. this tornado tore through rural oklahoma late friday. but it was st. louis further east that was hardest-hit with 13 reported tornados in the area. the airport got the worst of it, leaving shattered glass and mangled metal, shutting the entire airport down. >> the doors blew in. i think every one of the glass doors blew in. >> we heard crashes. and the poles were falling. they told us to go down to a bunker. >> reporter: most of the damage was to the main terminal, where the concourse roof was literally lifted off. and half of the windows were blown out. and outside the term knoll, vehicles were violently shaken. >> sky went totally black. the wind picked the car up. maybe an inch or two. dropped it and blew out the windows. >> reporter: even large aircraft were lifted by the high winds. >> the plane physically moved? >> it moved about eight feet. afterwards, i hung on for my life. the plane was shaking so badly. >> reporter: some homes in the area were also damaged. >> there's no more. >> reporter: the storms forced the st. louis cardinals baseball game to be postponed. >> fans are taking for cover here. >> reporter: despite all of this, so far, no reports of any fatalities. >> it's amazing to me that more people weren't hurt. >> let me tell you. >> and the st. louis airport is working with the airlines to assess the full extent of the damage. so far, they do not believe that any planes were damaged in that storm. and about 50,000 homes are still without power. bianna? >> unbelievable, a plane was moved eight feet. ron, thank you. we want to turn to a dire prediction about gasoline prices. forget $5 a gallon. some experts are now saying we could see 6 bucks soon. can anything stop the runaway prices at the pump? our david kerley is at a gas station in washington, d.c. this morning. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. $5.09 for premium here. the gas prices are going up, on the pumps, spinning almost like a slot machine. higher and higher. pennies, nickels, dimes. it's been a dollar increase in the last month. but for all of us who drive, the question is why? there are no lines. >> there's no reason the prices should go up that much. >> reporter: no shortages. >> it's ridiculous. we shouldn't be paying, you know, almost $4 a gallon. >> reporter: some are already paying $5 a gallon. and some experts say we could see another dollar added to that price by summertime. >> to go to $6 under the right conditions, wow. it's not going to be that hard to do. >> reporter: so, americans are asking, why are they paying so much? on average, $3.85 a gallon right now. the simple answer is fear. the civil war in libya has disrupted a very small amount of the world's supply. but all the trouble in the middle east has traders spooked. they've been bidding up the price on a barrel of oil, unsure if more of the supply will be interrupted over the coming months. and there are other factors. while the u.s. economy is coming back slowly, china and other countries are on a tear. and sucking up a lot more oil. >> the numbers on the increase in world demand are really staggering. very, very high. and you have not had an increase in supply to match it. >> reporter: but can that really explain the quick rise? prices? >> we're going to make sure that nobody is taking advantage of american consumers for their own short-term gain. >> reporter: president obama announced a new task force that he says will root out speculators that may be rising higher. some see that as political pandering. there isn't a whole lot the president can really do about gas prices. like the rest of us who drive, just sit back and watch the prices go up. the president does admit, as the prices at the pump goes up, his poll numbers are going down. >> frustrating for them. more frustrating for drivers. david kerley, thank you for your reporting this morning. we have new details about the horrifying southwest plane when the roof ripped open in midair, causing the oxygen masks to drop from the ceiling. investigators were initially focussed on this widespread cracking in the fuselage they found. they thought it was caused by metal fatigue. but lisa stark is in washington with new information. good morning to you. what are investigators now focusing on? >> reporter: well, dan, good morning. investigators have had a chance to take a very close look at that part of the plane that failed. and sources say the problem with this boeing 737 may have actually started with a manufacturing defect. now, investigators are focusing on the rivets. it's those thousands of little metal pins that hold pieces of the plane together. they may not have been put together as precisely as they should have been. now, sources say in this seam in the fuj laj where one metal piece overlaps another, all of the rivet holes were not sized precisely correctly. over time, that allow mrs. movement, more stress in the area. it could have led to the widespread cracking. ntsb investigators are by no means ready to reach a conclusion. but sources tell us this is a very important piece of the puzzle. >> how many more planes are out there that have the same defect, potentially? >> reporter: that's the big question. we know there are nearly 700 boeing 737s made similar to this plane. inspections have been ordered on those planes. boeing tells us 190 inspections were needed to be done right away. 75% of those have been completed. and so far, they've found only minor cracking in just five aircraft. all of those, all of those owned by southwest. sources say most of those planes were built about the same time as the plane that peeled apart, giving even more credence to the fact this may have been something that happened in the manufacturing process. dan? >> lisa stark with exclusive, new, information this morning. bianna, over to you. we're going to turn overseas now. one of the bloodiest days yet in the month-long syrian uprising. security forces fired bullets and tear gas at protesters across the country, killing at least 75 people. the demonstrators calling for the fall of the regime were out in force for the first time since a yearly 50-year-old state of emergency was lifted by president bashar assad. also in the region, john mccain paid a visit to a rebel stronghold in libya. our miguel marquez has the story from benghazi. >> reporter: this morning, colonel moammar gadhafi, feeling the pressure like never before. overnight, nato air strikes punched through what appears to be a bunker system at his tripoli compound. perhaps in an attempt to take gadhafi out. since february, gadhafi has tried to violently repress rebellion that started in the east and has slowly moved to the capital, tripoli, in the west. the third-largest city, misrata, near tripoli. and there's ongoing fighting in the far west of the country. in misrata, which gadhafi has hammered for nearly two months, it appears rebels now have the upper hand. >> thank you, obama. >> reporter: in rebel-held benghazi, a pro-american rally, after a visit by senator john mccain, who says american values are at stake here. >> what does happen here will be paid attention to by other dictators who were willing to brutalized and kill their own citizens in order to remain in power. >> reporter: during a press conference, senator mccain was asked about several journalists being held by gadhafi in tripoli. including americans, james foley and claire gillis. he urged gadhafi to free them and allow all journalists to operate freely in libya. for "good morning america," i'm miguel marquez, abc news, benghazi. >> our thanks to miguel marquez. we're going to talk more about those americans held captive in america. as miguel mentioned, four journalists, including two americans, were captured by pro-gadhafi forces. that was on april 5th. james' parents join us from newton, massachusetts. we appreciate you joining us, mr. and mrs. foley. >> we're glad to be here. >> thank you for having us. >> we know that claire was allowed to contact her parents thursday. they subsequently called you. what was that conversation like? what did they tell you? >> they, of course, were delighted to hear from their daughter. certainly made them hopeful that she is feeling well and has not been harmed. they're very thankful. but just a first step. she's still, of course, not home. she's still imprisoned in libya, as is our son, james. >> the other piece of that conversation is that she was able to confirm that jimmy was well, as of the 19th of this month, at which point they were separated. but up until that time, they had been together. >> and what is being done now, both here and in libya, to free your son? >> well, a number of things. as you know, we don't have diplomatic contact directly with libya. so, we've been working with the state department and the turkish government, through hillary clinton's office, through john kerry's office, and with the state department and the turkish embassy. >> diane, your son has reported from war zones in the past. both iraq and afghanistan. but you told our producers you were particularly worried when he told you he would be reporting from libya. why is that? >> because he went to libya all on his own. previously, he had been embedded with the -- our u.s. armed forces. so, he had that protection. but he went to libya alone, essentially, to cover the conflict. >> and obviously, he's been in war zones before, in situations of intense battle. john, can you tell us what jimmy's told you in the past? what he would do to stay safe in those troubling times? >> to be honest with you, we didn't talk about his safety. we often talked about his passion for doing what he is doing. and his desire to hear people's stories and share them with the rest of the world. and to be impartial and informative. and to bring the news back to us so that we could make our own judgments as to what was going on. >> he did reassure me often, though. i would ask him about his safety a lot. and he would told me he would reassure me. he was wearing his bullet-proof vest. he was also being careful. and he frequently was in touch, bianna. and that was the most reassuring thing, was to hear his voice or receive an e-mail. >> there's that special connection. john, last question, if you could relay a message to us through the pro-gadhafi forces holding jimmy now, what would you tell them? >> i would tell them to release jimmy as soon as possible and to keep him safe and as healthy as possible. >> he is an innocent, independent journalist, reporting on their conflict. wanting to cause no harm to them or their people. >> well, diane and john foley, we appreciate your time this morning. obviously, we do hope that jimmy, along with the other journalists, are released soon. and our thoughts and prayers are with you this morning. >> thank you so much. >> thanks for having us. >> thank you. we're going to check with ron claiborne, see the other headlines happening this morning. >> we will. good morning, everyone. the man first considered a person of interest in a mall bombing plot in littleton, colorado, is now being called a suspect. new surveillance photos show him riding a public bus away from the mall, the night before a pipe bomb and two propane tanks were discovered. and pastor terry jones has been released from a michigan jail. a jury determined a protest could lead to violence. jones was jailed after refusing to post a so-called $1 peace bond. a koran burning that he staged in march led to violent protests in afghanistan. and a new report on last year's gulf oil spill concludes that the rig's owner contributed to the deadly explosion that led to the environmental disaster. the coast guard blames transocean for poor maintenance, and poor training and safety culture. and an update oner irwin, the paralyzed kangaroo, dan's friend. an anonymous donor, perhaps dan, has bought an insurance policy to let christy carr keep him as a therapy animal. finally, seems like someone in new hampshire didn't want to go to school yesterday. vandals let the air out of the tires in every school bus in the merrimack school district, forcing classes to be canceled for the day. some think it was a senior prank. one man's prankster is another man's vandals. >> their vacations might be ruined if they get caught. >> could go to prison or jail. >> you seem to know a lot about this, dan. brings back memories?

she has to serve some time at the county morgue. >> that's right. >> so, this is a judge who is clearly trying to make a statement here beyond just this, is a violation of probation. >> i should apologize. the judge is a female, not a male. what's going to happen next? does she have a chance to appeal in a way that's successful? >> she's appealing now, the sentence with regard to the probation. by filing a notice of appeal, she immediately becomes eligible for bail. that's why she's been released. some people are saying, this is -- she's lindsay lohan. that's why she's got out. she's getting special treatment. i hate to say it, but she's not. >> i was wondering. >> when you file notice on appeal, the standard, ordinary course of business is you become eligible for bail. bail was $75,000. she put it up. so, she's been released for now. but that doesn't mean that she's not going to go to jail in connection with this entire incident. >> no special treatment, per se. but let me ask you this. this is less a legal question and more a psychological one. what is going on with this young woman? this is just repeat offense? >> yeah, look. every time she gets in trouble, she claims to have learned her lesson, right? she claims to have understood why it was so wrong and why she isn't going to do it again. you hope every time, as someone watches her from the outside, that this is the last time. and it won't happen again. and she has the right people around her that are giving her the support and the guidance she needs, which i think has been part of her problem for a long time, that she hasn't had that core support group of people, that are giving her good advice, good guidance, good support to keep her out of trouble. >> apparently not. she wouldn't be stealing necklaces. >> allegedly. >> allegedly. always fascinating to have you on. thanks for coming in. now, here's ron claiborne with a look at this morning's other news headlines. >> good morning, dan and dan. good morning, everyone. in the news, the st. louis airport is closed this morning after getting slammed by an apparent tornado. windows were shattered and part of the roof of the main terminal was ripped off. 24 reported tornadoes tore through 5 states last night. no serious injuries have been reported. and japan is going to propose a special $50 billion budget to rebuild that country. part of that money will go towards building 100,000 temporary homes. this is expected to be the first installment of reconstruction on monday. and general motors is striing to reclaim the top-selling automaker this year. gm sales have been strong in the u.s. and also in china. number one, toyota, has been hurt by recalls and problems associated with that japanese earthquake. and finally, for good friday, more than two dozen inmates in florida, are allegedly changing their ways. they were baptized yesterday by the prison chaplain. church leaders say they're teaching the inmates how to become responsible. here is a quick look at the weather. flooding forecast from arkansas to missouri and ohio. new england will get rain today. and also it will be dry and warm in the southern part of this country. severe weather is expected in the ohio valley. and that is th >> good morning. our easter weekend will be not necessarily dryer. front coming through. temperature today about 72 degrees. about 82. and for showers thunderstorms both days. dan and bianna?
