with a gun. this, just weeks after the murder of a tsa officer. from the airport to the air. look at this video from a scary flight. >> there's a bomb on the plane. >> a man losing it mid-air, alerting his fellow passengers. what set him off? and what happened next? and finally found. an american woman kidnapped as a baby 20 years ago, allegedly by her own mother. where she was located halfway around the world. good morning. lots to tell you about this morning, including -- >> settle down. >> what? >> good morning. >> well, after being delayed by bad weather, harry finally

arrived in antarctica, for his adventure. the challenges he'll face along the way. there's nothing like racing in zero-degree weather. >> you have experience with that? >> tons. >> bianna will be analyzing the race coming up. we're going to start with the big story here at home. the big storm making a mess in the american southwest. it will lumber eastward across the country, possibly impacting thanksgiving travel plans for millions of us. meteorologist, gger zee, is all over this storm. good morning. >> good morning to you there. dallas, right now, under winter storm warning, just went into effect hours ago. and look at this. nine states, now, with some sort of watch, advisory or warning, as the south and southwest get slapped with a little bit of winter. snow, ice and wild winds. a storm is whipping the southwest with a bout of winter come early. >> the ice. >> reporter: in oklahoma city, the afternoon commute became the afternoon slide. overturned vehicles, roads

count counterclockwise. not only does dallas get one hit, austin and places like that. they're going to get a second hit. from today, the first little bit and tomorrow. and everybody along the east coast is going -- i keep hearing things about the storm affecting my travel. this thing starts cooking once it gets out of the gulf and goes up, we think, and a lot of commuter models are up and down. inland would get snow. rain/snow mix closer to the cities. when the folks are traveling, a little bit of drizzle can cause delays. we'll be tracking this tomorrow morning. but coming up in the nation's weather, alaska is seeing a lot of ice, too. >> ginger, thank you. speaking of travel, we're going to turn to panic that broke out at l.a.x. airport overnight. reports of a man spread with a gun. people mistook a car crash for the sound of gunfire. but luckily, everyone's understandably all right. everyone was jumpy, of course, after that deadly airport shooting there less than one month ago. and aditi roy is at l.a.x. with

the latest. good morning, aditi. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. thankfully things are quiet right now at l.a.x. just hours ago, a multicar collision sparked chaos. and evacuated an entire terminal at the start of a busy travel week. pandemonium broke out after airport officials say passengers reported shots fired. it caused passengers to take cover inside. as police swept the area. >> everybody get down. authorities evacuated two terminals at l.a.x. but found nothing suspicious, according to airport officials. >> a lady hit a pylon. and that made everyone think there was gun shots. and then, somebody in terminal four said they saw somebody with a gun. so, they evacuated the terminal. and everybody was outside. and chaos. >> reporter: police confirmed that no shots were fired. instead, investigators say the loud noise came from a multicar accident outside, caused when a

woman suffered a medical emergency. >> that particular traffic accident, we later found, was caused by a medical emergency. and the individual involved in that traffic accident, hit several things. >> reporter: tensions remain high, just three weeks after a gunman opened fire at l.a.x. killing a tsa officer and injuring three others. an autopsy report released friday by the l.a. county coroner's office, said tsa officer hernandez had been shot 12 times and had 40 bullet fragments in his body. the incident comes at the beginning of a holiday travel week. officials predict l.a.x. will be the busiest airport in the country this thanksgiving week. 2 million passengers are expected to travel through. now, flight schedules were impacted by this disruption. however, they have returned to normal. airport officials say 4,600 passengers were impacted. dan? >> let's hope this coming week is a little more smooth. aditi, thank you.

two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three... unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i've got three important reasons to up my game with eliquis.
