tens of thousands of justin bieber fans, so out of control. an entire country threatened a state of emergency. the superstar rushed away to contain the frenzy. how all of europe is now on alert. wow. you know, justin bieber needed his own version of marine one. >> he did. >> it's incredible. we have a lot more to get to, as well, including the latest on the shocking shootings in seattle. we know more about what happened. six are dead. created a panic all across this easygoing city. and it all played out on live television. >> i can't imagine. we have astonishing video from a happy hour that took a jaw-dropping turn. a pickup truck, veering out of

control, right into the bar in minnesota. people were pinned against the bar. thankfully, no one was seriously injured. just minor injuries in that bar. >> a miracle. we're going to call this one sex, lies and shopping. one woman is suing neiman marcus. her husband bought her millions of dollars in gifts. she didn't want them. especially when she found out he was buying the gifts from her personal shopper, who was also his girlfriend. >> say that again. he was having an affair with the personal shopper. that's why he was buying the gifts. >> she was getting kickbacks. the gifts won't be taken back by neiman marcus. and she is mad. first, josh elliott has the top stories. >> good morning to all of you. we're going to begin with the two americans kidnapped in egypt. getting new information about what happened. let's get right to alex marquardt in the region right now. good morning to you, alex. >> reporter: good morning, josh. the american embassy in cairo tells us the two men were kidnapped in the lawless sinai

peninsula. the men were driving north from the resort town of dahab, when they were taken by tribesman. their egyptian driver who was released, said the bedoins want another released. there is an al qaeda presence. we do not believe they are involved in this. we spoke with the father of one of the young men. he asked that we don't release their names. but says they're praying for them. and that the embassy is working hard to secure their release. josh? >> alex marquardt, thank you for that. the other big story this morning, the killing spree in seattle. we are learning more details about the man who went on a killing spree in the streets. abc's neal karlinsky has the latest. >> reporter: police say the shooter was 30-year-old ian stawicki, caught on surveillance cameras with what looks like a gun near his waist. they say his rampage began

around 11:00 a.m., when he walked into this cafe in the middle of a neighborhood and opened fire. killing four people inside and wounding the chef. he ran out on foot and straight into gloria, a mother of two. police say he killed her just so he could take her mercedes suv as a getaway car. s.w.a.t. teams followed his trail to yet another neighborhood where they say he shot himself. overnight, his father shared these pictures of the alleged gunman with abc news. and told us that his son had problems. that he was happy sometimes but not really. he was kind of disgruntled. the gunman had a relatively minor record that included several assault charges. still no word on a motive, though. and with the killings, the city of seattle has 21 murders this year. matching all of last year, josh, already. >> neal karlinsky in seattle. thank you for that. the ceo of the bank behind facebook's controversial stock

offering is publicly defending his company's role. morgan stanley ceo, james gorman, said the bank did everything right and should be proud. facebook shares have lost more than a quarter of their value since that ipo. authorities have located the wreckage of a small plane that crashed in zion national park in utah. four people were killed in that crash since taking off from las vegas. it's the second deadly plane crash in that area in less than a week. a rude awakening before happy hour at a bar in minnesota. you saw it at the top of the show. take a look. a pickup truck, blasting through the wall. pinning those patrons against the bar. six people injured. however, stunningly, everyone survived. it remains unclear this morning exactly what happened to the woman behind the wheel who lost control of that truck. again, amazing everybody is okay. >> it really is. all right, josh. thank you. that video, every time. >> it is shocking. >> okay. now, to the scare on the runway at one of the busiest

airports in the country. a boeing 747, clipping the tail of a regional jet more than twice its size at chicago o'hare airport. no one was hurt. but new questions over whether those taxiways are too crowded. abc's jim avila is in washington with the latest on this. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, robin. if you're one of the high-paid fliers who can't wait to get your seat belt off when you land, maybe you should think twice about that. pilots say the riskiest part of the flight is actually here on the taxiway. an alaska-bound chinese freighter. the monster 747. wider than a football field and nearly as long. heading for the runway, could not squeeze by a tiny computer jet, one-third its size. and stopped just short of its chicago o'hare gate. clipping wing-to-tail. and startling the 18 passengers onboard. >> the front of the airport went to the right like this. you know, itas almost like this. like you were slipping on ice.

>> reporter: no one was hurt. but it was an alarming sight. >> here you are, in a little, you know, commuter jet. and you look up and you see this huge what i call the bowe, the front end of a 747 400. so. >> reporter: the faa and ntsb are now investigating what went wrong. but clearly, a major problem is those taxiways are crowded. the government reports 55 serious violations of space last year. in fact, many think the runways and taxiways are more dangerous than the air itself. >> what we hear from pilots is that sometimes the most difficult, challenging and complicated part of the flight is dealing with the taxiing on the ground from their point of landing into their gate. >> reporter: the pilot of this airbus 380, the world's largest plane, probably agrees. at new york's jfk last year, his superjumbo jet, spun a delta commuter jet in circles. at logan field in boston, a

delta 767, clipped the tail section of a smaller regional. no one hurt in any of the three collisions. but there's a reason they tell you to where your seat belt, even after landing. >> just when you think you're home and you're scot-free, something can happen. >> reporter: here's information you might not know. up in the air, the planes are maneuverable. they are autopilots. computers that tell them where other planes are in the air. on the ground, the pilots are on their own. and here's a little-known fact. the pilots don't use their hands on the ground. the steering wheels aren't on the landing gear. the pilots steer with their feet on the ground. >> jim, i did not know that. we're going to get the latest on the john edwards trial, with clues late yesterday that it could finally be winding down after eight days of deliberations. let's bring in our legal analyst, dan abrams, to sort through the clues. the big one came at the end of the day yesterday when the judge sent home the four alternate

jurors who had been sitting in the courtroom. >> really unusual move. these are alternate jurors who have been told, come to court every day. you can't deliberate. you have to sit by yourselves, not with the rest of the jurors. but you still have to come to court every day just in case something happens. they've been wearing matching colored sweaters, et cetera. seems like they've been having a little bit of fun. now, the judge says, you all can go home. the judge is not saying the case is over. but she is saying, we don't need you in court coming every day. why? what is it that happened that led the judge to say to them, it's okay to go home? does it mean there's a verdict? i don't know. maybe. does it mean that the judge is realizing, this is going to take a long time? and she's thinking it's unfair to keep having them come to court every day? maybe. what i don't think it is a hung jury. if we were at that point, i think the judge would have given something called an allen

charge, where the judge says go back, try to deliberate and try to reach a jury. >> the judge said this is a healthy jury with few conflicts. on the other hand, she told them to control their words and not separate everything. >> i don't believe -- whether it's a healthy jury, she may be right. whether there's no conflicts, i don't know. there's some conflict going on inside that jury. the judge has had a number of conversations with jurors. a number of conversations with the lawyers about the jury. they're obviously having some issue. and think about it. just the fact it's been this long tells you this is not a jury that is all in unison. that's okay. it doesn't mean it's not healthy. it's healthy for them to debate and discuss, et cetera. will they reach a verdict? >> bottom line, they may be closing in. but not guaranteed? >> absolutely. i don't know what it means. >> okay. very honest. >> yeah. >> thanks, dan. >> you don't know? >> i don't. i go back and forth on this. >> this is what this trial and

this case is -- >> and the judge isn't being that forthcoming with information. it's tough to know what's happening. >> we'll find out. >> yeah. >> thank you. we're going to turn, now, to the looming ban on all supersized sugary drinks. new york city planning to outlaw big sodas and other sweet drinks of a certain size to curb obesity. it's the first nationwide ban of its kind. abc's richard besser is here with more. this is raising a lot of eyebrows. >> it is. this is big. this is a dramatic measure. the mayor is saying this is about helping people lose weight because more than half of all the people in new york city are obese or overweight. and that number is only growing. if approved, the ban could prevent restaurants, delis, even movie theaters from selling sugar drinks larger than 16 ounces. drinks in cups and bottles would be illegal. larger sizes of water and fruit juice could be sold.

new york mayor, michael bloomberg told "the new york times," new york city is not about wringing your hands. it's about doing something. he is targeting the drinks because they're empty calories. they cause people to gain weight without helping them feel full. an idea the city has been pushing in public service ads since 2009. >> i think it's a good way to send a message that, you know, he's supporting healthier lifestyles. >> i don't think it's the mayor's job to decide what sort of soft drink that people in manhattan or anywhere in the world, want to buy, for that matter. >> reporter: the proposed ban is just the latest in what many call his war on obesity. since being elected, bloomberg has banned smoking in public places, stopped the use of transfats in city restaurants. and put calorie counts on menus. so, let me show you what this looks like, robin. this is a 16-ounce cup that has 200 calories, 12 1/2 sugar

cubes. 12 1/2. that's a lot of sugar. the mayor is looking to ban anything above that. here, we have a 43-ounce cup. 24 sugar cubes. that's a lot of sugar. >> when people look at it like this, it dons on them. what do you think? >> if you want to lose weight, one thing to do is to knock out your sodas. 1 20-ounce soda per day, and you cut that out, you could lose 25 pounds a year. you have to cut it out. and i don't think the ban is going to make people want to change their behavior. >> you hit it. at least it's sparking dialogue. >> everyone's talking about it. >> some say it's against the law? >> that's a little far. >> that's where the debate is going to come. now, to stories that have lots of people upset over what's happened to a high school honor student in texas. diane tran is working two jobs to support her family while trying to stay in school. now, she's been sent to jail for missing too many days.

john schifrin is covering this. and you think, this doesn't seem fair. >> reporter: that's right, george. a lot of people are outraged and saying just that around the world. at the age of 17, tran has responsibilities beyond what many of us has adults. and no real time to even be a teenager. diane tran doesn't look like someone with a criminal record. a high school honor student, she doesn't drink or smoke. >> diane has a work ethic that most kids her age does not have. >> but last week, the 17-year-old found herself behind bars. jailed by a texas judge, not for breaking a law, but for missing too much school. >> the judge has warned me about missing too many days of school. but i just couldn't help it. >> let's get one thing clear. we're not talking about a kid who skips school to go to the beach. this is a young girl who missed school because she did what the human body requires, even for a teenager. and that's sleep. >> reporter: after tran's parents got divorced, tran says she needed to help her family.

after going to school from 7:00 to 2:00 p.m., the honor student heads to her job, working full-time at a dry cleaners. on the weekends, she helps her friend's mother throw weddings. >> i go home and do homework. but it's hard to do my homework because you get home and so tired from 7:00-to-7:00. >> reporter: but in texas, none of that matters. after ten unexcused absences, students are sent to court. a judge gave tran a warning. when she was late again, he charged her contempt, fined her $100 and sent her to jail. >> if you let one of them run loose, what are you going to do with the rest of them? let them go, too? a little stay in a jail for one night, it's not a death sentence. >> reporter: this website, asking for donations for tran, has made more than $100,000. but in a sign of the type of person tran is, she says, she doesn't want the money. >> i want to donate the money to

someone who really needs it. >> reporter: and tran's attorney now tells us late wednesday, he met with the judge and convinced him to reverse the decision, dropping the contempt charge. the lawyer is confident that her record will soon be cleared. >> thank goodness for that. now, turning to 6-year-old spelling star, lori anne madison. the youngest person ever to compete in the scripps national spelling bee. josh is back. he has all the details. >> she had everybody hanging on every letter. breezing through the first round with a word that would stump all of us. but how about the second round? take a look. as 6-year-old lori anne madison stepped into the spotlight wednesday. >> hi, lori anne. >> hi. >> reporter: this youngest speller was to grace the stage at the 85th annual scripps national spelling by. her first word --

>> dirigible. d-i-r-i-g-i-b-l-e, dirigible. >> reporter: she nailed it. rousing applause and a high-five for this homeschooled virginian, who, from that moment, stole the show. >> slobberhannes. any help back here? >> you can't spell it? >> i think it's a joke. >> it's a joke? girl thinks i'm a joke. >> reporter: then, round three of the one word standing between lori anne and the coveted spot in today's semis. ingluvi ingluvies.

>> reporter: as lori anne returned to her seat, you could read the disappointment on her face. still, from lori anne, tuesday wasn't about winning or losing. like any true athlete, its was about the love of the game. >> i like spelling words in general, even if i don't win. i have eight more years to compete and try to win the national spelling bee. so, i have a lot of years. >> i have her as a seven-time champ. who are we kidding? >> that's so close. >> but her precious face. >> they were mean. at the national spelling bee. >> the biggest aw, i heard was from sam. >> you know she thought she had it right. you could see it on her face. we're going to talk about the tropical season. let me show you pictures out of north carolina. 67 homes damaged, 5 destroyed. as the tropical system "b," the "b" system pulled away, it may have been the worst damage from that system in the thunderstorms that it kicked up and the

tornado that it dropped in that area. that happens with tropical systems. from nashville to memphis, this is where it's likely we'll see a tornado in the line of strong to severe storms. keep up with that, from austin, shreveport, into nashville. there's a lot of cool air dropping in the great lakes today. we'll go over that for you in the next half hour. >> bright sunshine of the entire region. beautiful and perfect thursday.

it almost was a state of emergency in that country. >> they love the biebs. they do. and remember this "time" magazine cover. >> who could forget it? >> stirred up a lot of controversy. but now, music star, alanis morissette is speaking out about parenting. >> that could be a while. we're going to start with the bizarre case involving neiman marcus. and the customer who doesn't like the extravagant gifts she was getting. her husband was buying them to help out a personal shopper at the store, who happened to be his girlfriend. when the angry wife tried to return more than $1 million in furs and jewels, neiman marcus said no. great to welcome you to "gma." >> what a story. neiman marcus is a luxury retailer known for its extravagant luxury gifts in its catalogs and stores. but also a store known for its

lenient return policy and excellent customer service. two things that she was denied. on "desperate housewives" eva longoria played a personal shopper, flirting with rich clients. >> i can help you with that. >> reporter: now, patricia walker says life is imitating art. only she claims her personal shopper went much further. sleeping with her husband to ring up huge commissions. >> i thought i had someone i could trust. >> reporter: for years, walker said she was a regular customer at neiman marcus in dallas. when walker was injured in this car accident in 2007, she says her husband began to shower her with gifts selected using her store expense account to pend hundreds of thousands of dollars on these harry winston watches, luxurious furs, even $5,000 bracelets.

we spoke to her attorney in dallas. >> she believed her husband and the personal shopper were being sincere, trying to lift her mental and physical spirit. >> reporter: but walker says, all those gifts, $1.4 million worth, were things she didn't want, like this statue, worth nearly 6 grand. did she like all of it? >> no. all of it has been kept in her safe, in a safe deposit box and stored. >> reporter: when walker discovered her husband and lo were having an affair, she asked the store, famous for its liberal return policy for a refund. when they refused, she sued. in this deposition, lo said the affair wasn't about commission. >> my job is to help them shop. and i do that for everyone. >> reporter: and walker's now ex-husband says, other employees also helped h pick out all those gifts. >> there were different salespeople involved in a lot of the transactions that occurred with me. >> reporter: still, walker said she would never have bought all that bling and wants the store

to take it back. is this just about getting your client's money back? >> about accountability and breach of trust. they left her little choice but to seek redress in a courtroom. >> reporter: we contacted robert tennison and ravi lo. neither wanted to comment. and neiman marcus would have no comment on the lawsuit. in court papers, they don't believe the store or lo violated company policies. but i never tried returning over $1 million worth of merchandise. that has to be a little complicated. >> this is a messy one. great to have you here. >> thank you so much. >> wonderful to have you on the team. what a story to start with. >> you know what? you have to go in strong. >> you did just that. welcome. >> thanks. now, to the miracle man we have been showing you. texas electrical engineering student, hit by a bus. knocked to the ground. somehow, he was able to get right back up. we're going to talk to nick ingleman exclusively in a

moment. but first, here's nick's story. it's when fun and games goes horribly wrong. this disturbing video gripping the country. it shows 18-year-old nick england being struck by a bus, during the university of texas end of semester tradition, foam swordfights. it's a long-lived ritual for college kids to blow off steam before cramming for finals. look again. this dramatic, jaw-dropping moment, caught on camera, had the internet going wild with disbelief. the video watched over 3.5 million times. ingman, an engineering student, walks up almost immediately. the driver of this bus was ticketed for running a red light. and recently released video taken from inside the bus seems to suggest that the driver, in fact, did not run the light.

but what is seen from these streets tells a different story. luckily, ingman sustained only minor injuries. and this tragic yet miraculous incident will give him a story. this happened a month or so ago? >> yeah. beginning of may. >> how are you? >> i'm doing fine myself. >> i'm glad to be in new york talking to you. i am blessed to be alive. and i'm really appreciative to be here. >> you went to the hospital. just minor injuries? have you had a sling and that's it? >> yeah. the news articles online will tell you, i got out of the hospital in under two hours with only a sling. but accidents like this, collisions, sometimes things can progress later on with your life. i'm seeing a doctor with my shoulder right now. >> yeah. keep an eye on that.

when you're looking at the video, as we're looking at the video, over and over again, nick. we see you made it on your own steam to the grass. when you see this, again recount for us what happened. how you got out there. what was going on? >> there's no one feeling that i can express about it. at one second, i was excited to be there with my friends, about to run across the street and have a lot of fun. the next second, i was on the ground. i had no idea what happened. i thought someone had push med over. it wasn't until i got up and looked at the faces of everyone surrounding me, when i said, wow. did i just get hit by a bus? and everyone was in a panic and a flurry. >> remind people about -- this is something you've done down there at the university of texas. you're a good student. an honor student. and it's a way to release some steam. you wait for the red light. and everybody runs out into the street with the foam -- and the school is aware of this. >> it happens twice a year. it's an event held on campus, on

the last day of classes, right before. it's a way to release some stress before we go to our most comfortable place on campus and study for the final exams. >> you had to get up and take your finals. how did you do? >> finals were a different experience. it was a little more stressful that i had to take it right after i got hit by a moving vehicle. but through a lot of hope from great friends on campus, i was able to take my finals. i got all "as" and one "b." >> what do you think? there's always a lesson in everything that happens. what do you think is the lesson here? >> the lesson here, be more cautious, i would definitely say. and i've learned a lot of lessons through all of this. i met a lot of great people, on campus and around the world through this. and i'm really glad to be alive

and well. >> we're glad that you're alive and well here with us in the studio with your beautiful family. >> thank you. >> thank you. so, all "as" and one "b." the good grades. that's what it's all about. >> thank you very much. let's go over to sam. >> poor guy probably has a ringing still in his ears. like, huh? let's show you the pictures going on. the gila forest fire is the largest in new mexico history. this is two large fires that moved together to become a monster fire. 12 homes have been destroyed in this fire. they're trying to keep it from other inhabited areas. the heat and the dry conditions will continue. they're zero contained. look at reno, 90 saturday. denver, 88. vegas, hot and dry there. here's where the storms are rolling on. note from memphis to nashville, this is the area, western

we're looking forward to having brad in the park with us tomorrow. one look at the calendar and you know we're at the height of wedding season. one woman who has seen it all, the good, the bad and the ugly, is lori allen. home of brides by lori. and lori's here with four different looks for four different types of wedding. lori, good to see you. >> thank you. thanks for having me. >> you've seen crazy things in your day. >> 32 years of doing this. i don't know if i've seen it all. >> what's the craziest thing you've seen? >> the sister of the groom didn't like the dress. shed a alterations done. and got mad and went into the fitting room and took the scissors and cut up her dress

and walked out of the store. >> you're kidding me? >> really upset. >> what's the biggest mistake that brides make when it comes to the bridesmaids dresses. >> it's purely a lack of communication. they need to discuss with the bridesmaids before they come in, the budget they want to spend. the bridesmaids need to discuss with the bride, the body type issues. that needs to be discussed before they enter the store. also, they need to discuss the bride's vision, what she had in mind for her wedding day. i always have the bride's back. it's her day. >> exactly. we have four great looks for all different types of body types. >> we do. >> this first wedding would be for -- a formal wedding? >> the first gown is more of a traditional style. >> traditional. >> this is the number one selling dress in our store. it's $225. it's navy blue chiffon. and it looks great in a size 2

to 22. >> it's more traditional. let's get a little spin to see the back of the dress. thank you very much. and we have misha. and this is a black tie dress. >> this is a little more trendy with the bow in front. you're not going to look back at your pictures and say what did i have on my mind? it's about $350. >> looking good. thank you very much. then, this is -- justine, this is more of a wedding for -- >> a little more modern flare to it. it's a throwback to marilyn monroe. a halter style. super cute open back. this dress is by waters and waters. it's $175. >> and you can wear it not just at a wedding. >> i totally think you can. >> if you're having a wedding in

a barn or something like that. >> outdoor venues. >> exactly. thank you. thank you for the spinaround. this has to be for the beach, right? >> this is our beach dress. this is a silk dress, peacock color. this dress is a little more because of the fabric. it's about $350 from waters and waters. this also is a dress you could wear again. i don't encourage brides to choose dresses because you can wear them again. again, it's her day. we're all about the bride. >> we should communicate with one another. >> communicate. before you enter the store. >> okay. do you all agree? do you like what you see here? yes. the dos and don'ts, just again. communicating and what else should we do, lori? >> communicating is very important. also, going over the girls. the issues with the body type.

every woman has a little bit of body type issue. and it all becomes prevalent when they choose these bridesmaids gowns. i see over and over again. 8, 10, 12 girls, arguing and trying to decide on a dress in a store. it doesn't become pretty. sometimes they're friendships they've had for 20 years. and it's really not worth it. i have to mediate sometimes. sometimes i'm the mother. sometimes i'm the referee. and i have to say, honey, back down. let's pick a dress. >> i love that you're from atlanta. >> thanks. >> looking good. looking good. >> thanks for having me. >> anytime. >> and the show. >> friday at 9:00. we'll be right back.
