and said he almost led her to rehab and almost cost her her life. why he says it's about blackm l blackmail. the abc exclusive interview this morning. what would you do if the entire room you were in started disappearing? the floors, walls, disappearing around you. did this extreme prank go too far into shocking you into shopping? and we do say good morning, america. a lot to get to this morning. and george, as you said, a send health care worker tested positive for ebola. that's what we're seeing in dallas just moments ago. an all too familiar scene. hazmat teams swarming an apartment building. >> so much anxiety. 120 people are willing

monitored, 11 with definite e o exposu exposure. 114 with possible exposure. this is the second one infected in america. >> we have full team coverage and hear from the white house. but let's start with abc's tom llamas at the hospital. good morning, tom. >> reporter: robin, good morning. as the staff here at the hospital scrambles to treat the new ebola patient, dallas first responders are doing their job, sealing off that patient's home and figuring out who they were in contact with. all in perspective this morning, just three weeks ago, this was a normal hospital with no special biocontainment unit. now they're treating two ebola patients at the same time. overnight, a second health care work chore provided care for thomas eric duncan tested positive for ebola. the unnamed patient in isolation at texas health presbyterian after reporting a fever. dallas police and fire rushing to this neighborhood just

moments ago to begin the decontamination process of the latest patient's home. so far two of the 76 people responsible for duncan's care have tested positive for the virus. this morning, alarming allegations from the national nurses union about workingedness at texas health presbyterian. >> the nurses said there were no clear cut guidelines or protocols on how to provide care for the patient. >> reporter: union president telling us several health presbyterian nurses contacted them, wishing to remain anonymous, about critical flaws the way duncan arrived at the hospital with the ebola symptoms. they don't represent any nurse at the hospital, but those were wearing gloves with no taping around wrists and suits that exposed necks. and they could tape their necks. and facial masks were not

necessary, some supervisors said. and he was left in a non-quarantine zone for seven hours, potentially exposing seven other patients. and allowing nurses involved with his care to care for other patients as well. responding with a statement, we will continue to review and respond to the concerns by the nurses and ploys. coming on the heels of a stark admission by the cdc. it doesn't respond quickly enough when duncan was diagnosed. >> i wish we put a team like this on the ground the day the first patient was diagnosed. that might have prevented this infection. >> reporter: overnight, pham's friends praying for her at her alma mater, texas christian university. and the critical care nurse now upgraded to good condition. she is doing well, and thank you for the prayers, and adding, i

am blessed to be cared for by the best doctors and nurses in the world. the cdc had no plans to move ebola patients so specialized hospitals. see if that changes. >> for more, joined by the secretary of health and human services, sylvia burr well. thank you for joining us. what do we know about the condition of the new patient. and given how wide the circle of contacts could be, should we hear about more ebola infections at the hospital? >> with regards to the new patient at the new confirmation with ebola, i'll leave that to the clinicians and respect the privacy in terms of their choices about that information. with regard to the contact tracing we're doing from the first incident with mr. duncan, what we know is that there are 76 people that we are tracking closely. those are people that came in contact. because we don't understand exactly how the breach in

protocol occurred, we are taking the precaution of making sure that anyone who had contact in that treatment space will be tracked and monitored in a more serious way. >> so nurses at that hospital coming forward now talking about something far more than a breach in protocol. saying there were no protocols at all, insufficient protection, they feel unsupported, unprepared and lied to. is it fair to conclude there was a major breakdown at infection control at texas pres by tyrian and are you confident it has been fixed? >> the steps -- a number of additional steps have been put in place. adding nurses from emory to do peer to peer training for the nurses and also in addition we have added further training with regard to the protocols. we have given direction. there is flexibility within the protocols dependent on patient and clinical setting.

although this point, the cdc gave direction. and there is a 24/7 site manager for oversight of taking on and taking off of the protective equipment that health care workers have wearing at texas presbyterian. >> we heard the world health organization say yesterday we could see 10,000 new cases a week around the world. does the u.s. agree, and what needs to be done to get this epidemic under control? >> with regard to the sense of urgency, i think everyone is feeling the sense of urgency and the importance of containing it onsite in west africa. that's important to our domestic preparedness and making sure we fight this. that's the president and the communication with leaders and all of us and the department of defense, the state department, the usaid. working in the whole of government, full-court press, working an that issue at the same time with the domestic preparedness. >> thank you for your time this

morning. >> thank you. and abc's chief medical editor, dr. richard besser is here now with more on this. texas presbyterian is a very good hospital. tom llamas referring to it as a general hospital. and people are question, and you have all along, is it capable of taking care of patients like this? >> i don't think it is. i think that's the fundamental mistake here. when you have someone with ebola, you want them taken care of specializing. can't just give people suits, and sounds like not even proper suits here, but can't give them suits and expect them to be used properly and safely. >> six weeks ago the military was building containment units. where do we stand? >> i was there two weeks ago, and they hadn't broken ground. and the idea you can take a slow approach on this is very frightening. the numbers from the world health organization are scary. if they can't build quickly and get patients treated, it's going to spread. >> the numbers that george referred to are scary. people are waking up, okay, this

is the second one. and there is this natural concern about it being widespread. >> i'm hearing this fear. and if i remember a health care worker who was taking care of mr. duncan, i would be worried. but for the rest of america, they're not at risk much getting this disease. >> how does the cdc, you were there before joining us here at abc news, how do they regain the public's trust? >> it was a big step yesterday when they said they made a big mistake, should have gotten there sooner. what they need to think about hard is getting the patients to specialized units to take care of this disease safely. zpnchts you're heading to dallas? >> i am right after the show. turn now to the two major storms, one on each coast. a major hurricane barrelling toward bermuda, and tropical storm picking up speed towards hawaii. >> start with hurricane gonzalo. that's in the atlantic. this is ann teak wh-- and now i

hurricane. category 3, winds of 125 miles per hour. all over water now. should strengthen to a category 4 later today. the strongest hurricane in the atlantic in three years. it's been a while since we have seen something like this. and bermuda is on hurricane watch. friday is the day it will pass by or over bermuda. that's the atlantic. and now the pacific, also on friday, for hawaii. tropical storm ana should strengthen into a hurricane later today. pass right over hawaii as we go through the weekend. two huge headlines, both coasts. and we have strong storms in the mid-atlantic and northeast. >> you're on top of it. and the other top stories. begin with a big scare overnight for passengers on a tour bus driving down interstate 95 in connecticut. all of a sudden a man with a knife started attacking people. seconds later the driver was

forced to take action. this coach bus carrying dozens to a casino, violence breaks out. a man starts stabbing people in the seats. the driver makes a bold move, pulling over in this construction zone, flagging a state trooper. but things turned more violent. >> once the suspect realized the trooper was close by, started advancing to the trooper with the cutting instrument. the trooper was forced to draw his service weapon, fire, and struck the suspect. >> police saying they had no choice but to open fire. one ricochetted off the pavement. >> the witness was struck with one of the rounds. >> expected to be okay. and stunned passenger evacuating the bus, grateful for the drivers quick thinking. now the suspect later died. two people stabbed on the bus are in the hospital. their condition is not immediately released.

the motive for the attack, though, remains unclear. the supreme court is stepping in to allow abortion clinics in texas to reopen. blocking a state law that imposed strict requirements on abortion providers. but the legal fight is far from over. an appeals court is deciding whether that law as a whole is constitutional or not. and trouble ahead for democrats in the next month's midterm elections, according to a poll, president obama's approval is a new low of 40%. that's the same as president bush's back in 2006 before democrats swept the midterm elections. nascar is handing down punishments for this brawl that broke out saturday after a race. driver tony stewart now facing a $25,000 fine for backing into another driver. his rival, brad keselowski faces a fine of $50,000. and finally, the video that's blowing up the internet this morning.

as you know, first lady michelle obama often works, children in the vegetable garden. and now pushing one of the favorite veggies, the turnip. now singing the hit rap classic "turn down for what." >> turnip for what. turnip for what. >> love the head nod. she posted the video after someone asked her how many calories you burn whenever you turn up? and now there are turnip people memes. halloween turnips. >> what to do with brussel sprouts? >> it's kind of hard to carve a brussel sprout. >> michael strahan was yelling turn up for what. and we were all -- thank you. and now to the high school hazing scandal rocking a new jersey town.

some team members making their first appearance in court on tuesday. and we are hearing from a former player. lindsey davis has the latest. >> reporter: the player shared, that was key. and now the football program in jeopardy, how long has this going on is the key question for investigators. the same players who would be gearing up for football practice, suiting up instead for court. several of the seven football players facing criminal charges in the sexual hazing case plaguing sayreville high school. making their first appearances in family court tuesday. the accused players now suspendinged, and football season stopped indefinitely. trying to figure it out in past years. >> everyone knew that if we did something wrong, we would have been he would accountable. there would have been consequences. >> reporter: 2006 graduate and former football player matt hammond says he remembers joking

around, but no hazing. >> there was a consistent respect for everybody in the locker room. there may have been jokes cracked. nobody was ever laughing at you. it was all about laughing with you. >> reporter: he points out the unique layout of the athletic facility. the coaches offices, quite a stance from the locker room where the alleged hazing may have happened, making it hard for the coaches to see what was going on. >> the guy that i know, he would have said or done something about it. >> reporter: this morning, a glimpse of george nadar's interaction after the powerhouse football team's final game on september 27th. >> we will not hang our heads. i don't want to see anybody hanging their heads. >> reporter: it's unclear if the teens are being held or now back with their parents. while the prosecutor confirmed some appeared in family court yesterday, he would not say if

he will charge them as adults. which would be pivotal. >> thank you so much. and another beat with lara. a dramatic rescue thanks to an iphone app and really quick thinking. a police officer came to the rescue after a california woman was saved. she was at the bottom of a ravine. st trapped overnight after driving off the road. and aditi roy has the story. >> reporter: this morning, the grateful family of melissa vasquez, air lifted to safety after being at the bottom of a 500 foot ravine speaking out. >> we want her to be okay. >> reporter: the app on her phone helped save her life. she veered off a steep and windy mountain road monday. the car landing on the roar, flinging the 20-year-old woman to the ground, her cell phone out of reach. her onstar device alerting authorities she had been in a

crash, but led them to the wrong location. after her mother reported her missing, they went and found her locked ipad. incredibly, the tech-savvy officer able to guess the password. >> it was an educated guess. third attempt, i was able to get in. >> reporter: and finding the iphone app, pulling up a map showing the exact location of her cell phone. right there on mount hamilton road. >> getting a hit on a gps from a find my iphone app. >> reporter: police swarming the scene. watch as they hoist the young woman out of the ravine on a stretcher. >> from the time i was on the ipad to the time she was located was 20 to 30 minutes. >> reporter: after hours of being missing. >> after hours of being missing. >> reporter: an onstar spokeswoman is telling us they are investigating the incident.

vasquez is expected to survive. aditi roy, abc news. >> and how quickly they were able to get her after the information. >> unbelievable. those 1-2-3-4 passwords. >> never thought that would come in handy. and rain moving into the mid-atlantic and northeast. and ginger, you have an eye on it for us. >> and here in tallahassee, almost 5 inches of rain. that's more than a month's worth in october in that part of florida. and in the mid-atlantic, tornado and thunderstorm warnings. most are just strong thunderstorms. heavy rains from south carolina through pennsylvania. and watch as it breaks apart. but it's a wet next 48 hours. anywhere from 1 to 3 inches in some spots. your local forecast just 30 seconds away, but first the warm cities brought to you by walgreens.

now. you heard the countersuit, your response. >> legally, it's amateurish. >> why? >> but not unexpected. you can't have defamation in a lawsuit. you have legal immunity. putting that aside, doesn't really matter. the lawsuit itself and the filing of is just a conuation of what he's been doing. he is somebody who's got way too much money for his own good. he has basically emotionally tortured this young lady for going on ten years. and she's finally to the brink where almost putting her into rehab -- putting her into rehab, almost killing her. and at this point, she's healthy enough to stand up to him. >> tortured, almost killing her, why not file criminal charges? >> everything is on the table. she's ready, willing and able to fight back. the idea that it's extortion is laughable. what she wants is him out of her life. >> these cases, so often he said, she said, how do you back it up.

but protective orders are on the we want him literally held accountable. >> you're not going to try to file criminal charges if she's let out of the contract. >> i can't get into a quid pro quo for that. everything is on the table. this is unfortunately emblematic of the music industry. this is a bigger story. she's here and strong enough to champion it. >> how is kesha doing now? >> it's interesting. she's had a lot of trepidation about this. but she's strong. when i talked with her yesterday, i thought she was enormously resilient about this. she's in a good place. >> okay, mark ergos, thanks very much. and start in the pacific northwest, unsettled. seattle might hear thunder, anywhere in the pacific northwest. it's cool and showery. all you have to do to warm up is fly over the rockies. settle in denver, and 83, maybe
