WHITFIELD: All right. Let's take a quick look at news across the country. A search and rescue operation is underway in South Carolina after severe weather pounded the state. At least five people died in the region. And check out this protest. In California, college students along with "Occupy Long Beach" demonstrators were furious after the California State University Board of Trustees approved a 9 percent tuition hike. That means students will have to pay an extra $500 next fall. Police in riot gear used pepper spray and batons to control the crowd. And in Minnesota, a woman could easily have died in her car on her birthday. She had a seizure and her car went flying into a cold lake. A state trooper was driving behind her. He and another trooper pulled her out seconds before the car sank. Here's a call you'd never expect in an air traffic control tower. A Delta pilot in mid-flight from North Carolina to New York calls to say the captain is stuck in the bathroom. But that's not all.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We're at 180 knots, 10,000. Can we leave the frequency for a minute? We're going to try to contact dispatch. The captain has disappeared in the back. I have someone with a thick foreign accent trying to access the cockpit right now. I got to deal with the situation.</s>WHITFIELD: So the co-pilot wouldn't open the cockpit door because the passenger trying to help had a thick foreign accent. You heard him say that. Well, the crew was moments away from calling in fighter jets for help, thinking it might be a terrorist attack. But fortunately, the captain of the plane managed to break his way out in time. No one was hurt in the incident. Apparently that passenger happened to be someone who was trying to help the pilot get out of the bathroom, big misunderstanding. All right, cracking into the crust of Jupiter's frozen moon. We'll tell you why scientists think the building blocks for life could be below the surface, next in the NEWSROOM.
