former champion return to racing? ♪ oh here she comes ♪ the rock 'n' rolland roll hall of fame hitmakers saying "no can do" this morning. why they're hauling a cereal maker to court. we do say good morning, america. on this friday morning. and he is certainly a legendary action star. harrison ford as indiana jones, han solo and, oh quite a square for him landing on that golf course. >> experienced pilot. not his first crash, actually. this morning he's recovering in the hospital. the injuries not life-threatening. abc's nick watt starts us off from the scene of the accident. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, george. well that is what is left of harrison ford's vintage airplane pancaked. ford who recently wrapped filming on "star wars" episode 7 was indulging his other great passion, flight when disaster struck at quarter after 2:00 in the afternoon. >> hope he's going to make it. >> reporter: watch this small plane. harrison ford at the controls clipping trees in the distance before it goes down caught on video by a stunned onlooker. >> oh, no. >> come on dude. >> come on. >> reporter: just seconds after takeoff, the engine failing, listen to ford's voice as he radios the tower for help. >> 53-178 engine failure, immediate return. >> ryan 17 runway 2, 1 -- >> i have to go to 3. >> runway 3 clear to land. >> he can't make split looked like it was short of the runway. >> reporter: on crash landing on a golf course fairway including a spinal surgeon rushed to the downed world war ii era plane. >> he's obviously an iconic individual and when he laid there as i was just trying to check his airway and blood pressure it was obvious it was harrison ford. >> he's conscious, breathing. >> i stabilized his neck which is a common area of injury. he was, you know obviously moaning and in pain. and my task if you will, was to get him out of the airplane in a semi urgent manner because the fuel was leaking. >> reporter: paramedics quickly on the scene strapping the 72-year-old movie star to a gurney. >> fly, yes. land, no. >> reporter: unlike his character indiana jones ford is an experienced pilot. he owns eight aircraft. he's been flying since the '60s. >> it's an airplane as old as harrison ford is. when airplanes or engines are that old they do have a tendency to fail. >> ford's son ben tweeting from the hospital last night, dad is okay battered but okay. he is every bit the man you would think he is. he is an incredibly strong man. now, the ntsb is still trying to figure out exactly what went wrong here. no fire. that might be a clue but this could have been a lot worse. about 200 feet from ford's plane, that's a house right there. this is a heavily residential area. the fairway was by far the safest place to crash land. >> good thing for his experience. nick thank you. ford is known for doing his own stunts. this iconic scene from "raiders of the loss ark" is actually him outrunning that boulder. he's as stuff offscreen as he appears on it and chris connelly is in los angeles with more on that side of the story. good morning, chris. >> reporter: good morning, robin. in the movies this action hero has known all manner of misadventure on a wide assortment of airships and as a real-life pilot, harrison ford has had his share of action and hero women. for almost 40 years harrison ford's adventures in the air have thrilled movie audiences. in "star wars" -- >> kid, i've flown from one side of the galaxy to the other and seen a lot of strange stuff. >> reporter: indiana jones and the last crusade. >> i didn't know you could fly a plane. >> fly, yes. land, no. >> reporter: and "air force one". >> get off my plane. >> reporter: that larger than life adventure-seeking persona as true off screen as it is on. >> another pilot, another airplane. not a movie actor. >> reporter: ford's real-life love of the skies well document documented and responsible for high-flying acts of heroism piloting his chopper to rescue a stranded hiker in 2000 and helping mind a missing boy scout in yellowstone in 2001 but over the years he's gotten into his share of scrapes. last june during the shooting of episode 7: the force awakens" he broke his left leg and needed surgery after an on-set accident. the film produced by disney the parent company of abc news. and he's already survived several midair mishaps. wind gusts blowing his six-seater off a nebraska runway in 2000. 1999 crash landing of a copter in california's ventura county. yet his love of flying has endured as he told barbara walters in 2008. >> what does flying give you? >> oh man, a lot. i love the freedom of flight. i love the places you go. i love seeing the world from an airplane. i'm in love with flying. >> reporter: and this morning, the many millions who have loved his on i have screen derring-do are giving thanks he's expected to make a full recovery and can take back to the skies on screen and off. >> nice landing. >> thanks. >> reporter: also back in 2008 he told abc news that what he'd seen from the air had kick-started his activism on behalf of the environment. so a big part of his life flying robin. >> yeah he is extremely passionate about aviation. okay chris, thank you. we bring in aviation consultant colonel steve ganyard. we've been talking about his passion for flying. also his professionalism because as nick watt said that's highly populated area where he was able to bring that plane down there on the golf course. >> it is robin. you know he's a pilot's pilot. i think it's one of the reasons why pilots like him so much. he loves flying. he has the love of flying in his blood and so he takes flying professionally. he does what it takes, is not just a weekend jump in an airplane and does everything he needs to be to be a professional pilot. >> no far from being a weekend warrior. can you tell us more about the vintage plane he was flying in? >> yeah it's actually a world war ii trainer, so it's quite old, 1942 is when it was built. so you think about what happened yesterday. takes off and a minute and a half after takeoff looking at santa monica bay, a bright sunny day, the engine just stops. he gets the airplane turned around. and he says can i make it back? can i glide back into the airport? he makes the determination he's not going to get that far and so he's going to have to land short and sees the fairway and the golf course and makes a skillful landing on what could have been disastrous with so many buildings nearby. >> and we're so thankful that he appears to be going to make a full recovery. steve, thank you very much. >> we'll turn to the deep freeze. bitter cold hitting the eastern half of the country this morning. temperatures dropping to 30 degrees below average and it's creating icy driving conditions all over. abc's alex perez is in louisville kentucky with the latest. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, george. they are digging out from all that snow that fell here but the bitter cold is only complicating things. icy roads causing chaos across the country. >> so bad, you're all over the place. >> reporter: drivers losing control. in st. louis this car slamming into a barrier after hitting a patch of ice. watch as this car comes barreling down the street in rhode island and hits this woman. you can see her try to get out of the way, fortunately she's okay. and dobbs ferry, new york a bus swerves to miss one car and hits two others and then a house. numerous cars and trucks sliding and wrecking off the road. this snowplow ending up on its side. outside birmingham a 14-car pileup and on i-65 south of louisville. >> nobody is happy. >> reporter: -- some drivers stranded for more than 16 hours after more than two feet of snow fell. traffic backed up for 20 miles. this woman and her toddler spent the night in their car. >> thankfully truck driver ahead of us brought us water so we could make bottles. >> reporter: the national guard is stepping in to help bringing food and water to those out in the cold. teamwork in dallas this big rig stuck in the snow blocking traffic but watch as five drivers come together and pull the semi back on to the road. and because of the bitter temperatures icy roads will remain a big concern for the morning commute today and most of the day in the midwest. robin. >> all right, alex. thank you. now to the trial of that boston marathon bomber and an emotional day of testimony as victims including a father who lost his 8-year-old son took the stand. abc's brian ross has that story for us. >> reporter: the jury saw this video and then heard from the woman seen here who lost her leg after the bomb blast. but 27-year-old rebekah gregory says tsarnaev would not look her in the eye. >> i see a coward. i just don't think he can face what he did. either that or he doesn't care. >> reporter: the jury heard from this boston police officer who rescued a 3-year-old boy from a man who lost both legs carried off by a stranger in a cowboy hat and from bill richard whose family watched the marathon just steps from tsarnaev and the backpack bomb. his 8-year-old son martin was killed. his 7-year-old daughter jane lost her leg. rebekah gregory went some 40 surgeries but in the end felt testifying here helped her get past what happened. saying that tsarnaev had been a constant presence in her nightmares until she was able to stare him down from the witness stand. >> he really was somebody i was afraid of. yeah. in a lot of ways. >> reporter: and now? >> and now i have kind of taken that back and i don't have that fear anymore because i looked at what tried to destroy me and i've come out stronger because of it. >> reporter: the courtroom is packed every day with victims while others watch on closed circuit tv in a private room. for some the emotions are just too powerful and raw and others say they can't stand to be in the same room with dzhokhar tsarnaev. george. >> you can feel it here. okay thanks very much. turning to politic, more fallout for hillary clinton over her use of a private e-mail account as secretary of state. and the first visit to iowa for jeb bush as he revs up his bid for the republican nomination. jon karl tracking both. this private e-mail account appears to be at odds with the state department's own rules even though it's not illegal. >> reporter: that's right, george. the state department is now reviewing whether or not mrs. clinton violated a 2005 rule that was put in place to protect critical national security and diplomatic information. this rule said that employees are not allowed to send information, it is known as sensitive but unclassified on private e-mail. that is not allowed except under emergency circumstances so they're going through her e-mails to see if she did any of that. that could potentially put at risk those e-mails falling into the wrong hands. also george she was in clear violation of a rule that said that if employees use private e-mail, they must turn the e-mail over to the state department to be entered into government computers. as you know she didn't turn over e-mails until nearly two years after she left office. >> investigations by at least two congressional committees at the same time. jeb bush heading to iowa for the first time. there's also been some scrutiny of his e-mail accounts and as an uphill fight. >> reporter: the iowa caucuses have been dominated by the conservative wing of the republican party. this is the wing of the republican party that is most skeptical of jeb bush. early polls in iowa show that he's already well behind scott walker the governor of wisconsin another likely candidate so this will be potentially skeptical crowd for him. also he's been spending so much time at fund-raisers this is a chance for him to get out there and actually be with voters. >> we'll see how he does and be on the ground sunday on "this week." other top stories with amy. runway scare in new york yesterday. >> it was a terrifying crash on the runway at laguardia airport. take a look at this video that shows crews overnight trying to use a crane to move the delta jet, which skidded and slammed into a fence just a few feet from the water. abc's david kerley has firsthand accounts from the horrified passengers. >> reporter: off the runway smashing through a fence, perched over the bay. >> i just survived. >> reporter: the more than 130 on board had to slide down the wing hop to the snowy ground. it was those ground crews that called it in. >> tower you have an aircraft off 3-1. >> reporter: in new york crews use a special code for serious incidents, it's 34 3-4. >> the airport is closed. we've got a 3-4. >> reporter: passengers evacuateding and one of the tanks leaking on this delta jet from atlanta. >> it was going way too fast to be landing. >> reporter: it was making the approach piles don't like over the water. two previous aircraft said the braking conditions were good in the snow. two-thirds of the way down the runway the jet veers to the left towards that fence and flushing bay. >> that's why the airplane veered off the runway when they had quite a bit ahead of them and may indicate another malfunction happened that we didn't consider. >> reporter: more than 200 suffered injuries. good news considering how close this jet came to slipping into the bay. for "good morning america," david kerley, abc news, washington. >> we are so glad everyone is okay. well new video this morning of a train carrying crude oil that derailed and exploded in northwestern illinois thursday. raising even more concerns about rail safety. the crash forced people in a one-mile radius to evacuate. no one injured but it comes weeks after another train with the same newer model railcars crashed in west virginia sending a massive fireball into the sky. in both cases, the trains were carrying crude from north dakota which is more volatile than other kinds of oil. well the fbi is joining the search for two suspects after a federal judge in detroit was shot during an attempted robbery outside his home. judge terrence berg was confronted while taking out the garbage. he was shot in the leg and listed in serious condition but he is expected to recover. breaking news overseas what's being described as a terror attack in jerusalem. a suspected palestinian driver rammed his car into a crowd of people outside a police station injuring five. police say he tried to stab people then with a knife before he was eventually shot by security guards. and police in south korea say the man who slashed mark lippert with a ten-inch knife will be charged with attempted murder. authorities have revealed the suspect described as anti-american activist has visited north korea several times. the attack is also raising security questions because the ambassador had just one unarmed guard with him. well finally most of us consider ourselves dedicated parents, we would do anything for our children. and apparently it is no different for momma and papa birds. take a look at these committed bald eagles in pennsylvania sitting on their eggs trying to keep their offspring warm even as the snow piled higher and higher. everything was covered but the little bird's head. that is dedication. you know what i love this part. this isn't discuss a job for mom. this is a modern household. the parents taking turns sitting on the eggs which are due to hatch in three weeks. please tell me that snow is going to melt before three weeks. >> yeah otherwise that may head to divorce court. goodness gracious. maybe four weeks -- >> no it's your turn. it's your turn. i just sat on the eggs. >> kentucky some pictures for you, check them out. just incredible numbers coming out of the bluegrass state. look at this. this car completely buried although they thought well enough to lift the windshield wipers

she said no, no i could then they proposed possible scenarios and none of them they said fit the bill. >> isn't that question asked before someone -- >> absolutely absolutely. to get on a jury like this you have to have said in jury selection i could impose the death penalty in a particular case. >> now, the judge said he would not take her off the jury. was that ever conceivable? >> no because, look, i understand that the jurors were frustrated right? they want someone who -- their position would be she wouldn't deliberate with us right? the other way to look at it is she wouldn't agree with us. she wouldn't come over to our side. judges have to be incredibly careful about removing a juror from the case because that juror isn't getting along or isn't agreeing. it's very very unusual that a judge would ever agree to remove a juror in a case like that. there would have to be misconduct on the part of the judge and simply saying that this juror is not deliberating with us enough is not nearly enough. >> now, you thought this whole trial was a waste of -- >> enormous waste of -- >> surprised that 11 jurors -- >> a little surprised because i think that jodi arias actually had a stronger defense this time around. but, look no matter what the outcome here i still would have said that i thought that this was a waste of time and resources, et cetera. and money, but this now -- this hung jury maybes it even more so. >> dan abrams thanks very much. now to nascar superstar kurt busch. he has been cleared of criminal charges over the alleged assault against his ex-girlfriend. the question now is when will he return to the track?
