[Blackwell:] Cross country this morning. And we're starting in Florida. A parking garage collapsed in the middle of the day and it was caught on surveillance video. Look at this. This garage is for the Broward County Courthouse. And, get this, they were going to demolish this anyway and that's why it was empty. No people, no cars inside. But there was so much dust that at least one person thought it was a terror attack. No one was seriously hurt. Now to Georgia. A woman is steaming mad. You probably would be too. She got two speeding tickets on the same road at the same time. Listen. First she was stopped for driving 56 in a 35. After the officer wrote the ticket, he said, hold on, there's another officer here to write you another ticket. That was for driving 62 in a 35.
[Unidentified Male:] He said, ma'am, we're giving you a second ticket and this is to make an example of you.
[Nyoka Patton, Driver:] And they're on the same exact minute of the same exact day. Then I just went into total shock. I was like I was so upset, I couldn't even cry.
[Blackwell:] Understandable. The police chief says the two officers were at opposite ends of the road and the driver sped up between the two officers. And look at what's visible in Alabama as a result of Hurricane Isaac. This is wreckage from a schoonor that ran aground in 1923. You see the high surf from Isaac washed off all the sand.
[Unidentified Female:] I am stoked that it's as well preserved as it is.
[Jenny Tucker, Fort Morgan, Alabama, Resident:] It's just really incredible to see history just laying right here on Fort Morgan, on the beach.
[Blackwell:] The wreckage is in a remote part of the shoreline. It's uncovered every few years when a big storm hits.
[Kaye:] A California family says their teenage son was not allowed on a plane because he has down syndrome. Now they plan to sue, claiming American Airlines discriminated against their son. The airline says workers couldn't calm the boy down and that he was a security risk. But his parent's cell phone video tells another story. Carolyn Costello with our affiliate KTLA has more.
[Carolyn Costello, Ktla Reporter:] This home video shows Bede Vanderhorst at a Journey concert. A 16-year-old boy called up on stage and given a guitar by the band. His parents describe him as outgoing, fun loving and charming, but they say the son they love was singled out and discriminated against because he has down syndrome.
[Joan Vanderhorst, Mother:] We were not
[Robert Vanderhorst, Father:] We never went down the ramp.
[J. Vanderhorst:] We were not allowed on the plane because this man saw my son and made a decision.
[Costello:] Joan and Robert Vanderhorst, who spoke with us through Skype, tell us as they waited to board an American Airlines flight with their son, they were told they weren't allowed on.
[J. Vanderhorst:] OK, my question is, why are you singling me out and saying
[Unidentified Male:] I'm not singling you out.
[J. Vanderhorst:] Why aren't you telling them and them and them and all these people that have children that they have to
[Unidentified Male:] In a security controlled area, you cannot be recording this.
[Costello:] Joan pulled out her cell phone and began to videotape, documenting what she believes was a violation of her son's civil rights and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Her son labeled a flight risk can be seen in the video sitting at the gate quietly playing with his hat. In the video you can hear John sobbing and her husband expressing disbelief.
[R. Vanderhorst:] It's amazing. He's demonstrating he's not a problem.
[J. Vanderhorst:] I kept saying, is this only because he has down syndrome?
[Costello:] The family has flown together dozens of times. The only thing different, they had upgraded, for the first time, to first class.
[J. Vanderhorst:] That this little boy had a seat in first class area and for some reason they didn't want that. That wasn't acceptable.
[Costello:] American Airlines released a statement that reads, in part, "the young man was excitable, running around and not acclimated to the environment. The pilot attempted to calm him down and acclimate him to the surroundings. His efforts were not successful. For the safety of the young man and the safety of others, American Airlines offered to book another flight for the family." But the family says that statement is untrue. They say they'll sue American Airlines and hope their experience will teach the company and people in general a valuable lesson.
[R. Vanderhorst:] To respect each person's dignity. Every one of us should be treated with equal dignity.
[Kaye:] A lot of people talking about this story. We want your opinion on this. You heard the parents. They're filing a lawsuit. By the way, they're coming on this show at 9:15 Eastern Time this morning to talk about it. So, let us know. Do you think that they have a case for discrimination? You can tweet me @RandiKayeCNN or you can tweet Victor @VictorCNN. We'll read your responses later this morning.
[Blackwell:] It was a day that transformed the nation and the lives of thousands of first responders. How those who worked at Ground Zero are fighting for their health and the medical fund that's helping them.
