of care givers. the 29-year-old nurse raced to emory hospital where dr. kent brantly and nancy wrooi boll beat the disease. >> this is a servant leader. >> reporter: the ap reports she had close contact with thomas eric duncan, inserting catheters and drawing his blood. while it's still unclear how she became infected. nurses didn't wear hazmat suits until two days after he was admitted. just how many people did she come into contact with? the stunning admission that the before she checked into the hospital with ebola-like symptoms, she flew from cleveland to dallas with 132 panc passengers. the airline and the cdc scrambling to contact the travelers. even though she was among the 77 health care workers under self-quarantine, she was allowed

to fly home to cleveland two days after duncan's death to visit her family and plan her wedding. on october 13th, flew back to dallas with an elevated temperature of 99.5. the next morning, she checked herself into the hospital. the cdc originally claimed vinson made a mistake flying. >> she should not having on the plane. >> reporter: but abc news learned that she contacted them before boarding the flight, and the cdc gave her the all-clear because she did not meet the 100.4 degree threshold. and this morning, the hospital issuing a mea culpa in a letter to congress. saying they originally misdiagnosed duncan, made mistakes and failed to provide accurate information. and amber vinson is related to three people at kent state university. she recently came into contact with them. the university is monitoring the

three employees and will not return to campus until cleared. >> a number of passengers and crew on the flight with amber vinson are in quarantine. and that frontier plane she was on made five more trips before being taken out of service and decontamina decontaminated. and davis is in washington. >> reporter: good morning. another breakdown of the country's health defense system. and another story with frontier airlines saying it's been told that the passenger may have been symptomatic even though cleared by the feds to fly. that's triggered a frantic effort to contact passengers. this morning, it's parked in denver, out of service. and according to the airline, will be disinfected for a fourth time with seat covers and carpet removed. vinson landed in dallas monday. that airline look five more fligds flights on tuesday, cleveland, ft. lauderdale,

cleveland, atlanta, and finishing in cleveland. but the 132 panchs on the jet from cleveland to dallas with the nurse with the high temperature, are quarantining themselves. >> if she was showing symptoms and she was contagious, and i was in an enclosed space with her for three hours, then that's enough of a reason for me to say that i should be isolated and i should be quarantined. >> i bleached all my luggage, washed all my clothes. and just trying to keep everybody, you know, completely away from my house. >> reporter: three dallas area schools will close for cleaning today because students or a parent were on the plane. a military reservist has been told to quarantine with his family in the dallas area. officials are admitting that even though cleared, the nurse shouldn't have flown. not just because of the elevat d ed temperature, but because her

they knew what they were doing. and i felt perfectly safe doing so. >> let's bring in jon karl and dr. rich besser. the president outlining what he's going to do as republicans like speaker john boehner calling for a travel ban. others saying that the director of the cdc needs to be fired. >> reporter: the president has confidence in the director. and a travel ban would be a problem, hindering the flow of relief workers to and from west africa. but the president acknowledged they should have been more aggressive at the start. the bottom line is the same. the president said that he is absolutely confident that they can prevent a serious outbreak of the disease here in the united states. >> what the president did not announce yesterday is something you have been talking about. taking any ebola patient to a special treatment center like the one at emory university where amber vinson is right now.

>> i think that was missing from the statement. one thing the go teams, rapid response teams would be looking at, if they can be treated there or transported. but i think it's a stretch that any hospital can do this safely. >> you spoke to dr. kent brantly yesterday. >> he ran an ebola treatment unit in liberia. they had two days of training on how to do that. he said having the training ahead of time was life-saving. >> thanks to rich and jon for that. the fear spreads. >> and the main focus is on the well-being of the two nurses. but there's a ripple effect. ebola fears on wall street. stocks plunging after a wild day of trading. airline companies taking a big hit. rebecca jarvis has the latest on that. >> reporter: hi, good morning. and as soon as the markets got wind of the news, the frontier airlines flight airline stocks began tanking across the board.

140 miles per hour. that's a beast of a storm. you can see it here. about 540 miles south of bermuda at this point. moving north at about 9 miles per hour. as this thing comes through, friday is the big day for bermuda. that's the fear and why they're under a hurricane warning. the latest warning, red. that precautions to protect life and property must be rushed to completion today. that's how strong the wording is. watch it through bermuda, die out, decrease in strength and clip nu foundland. and we have tropical storm ana that's affecting all the islands of hawaii friday through sunday. the time period on that one. a lot going on. >> thanks. and now to amy with the other stop stories. good morning. and begin with breaking news. a disaster unfolding at the top of the world. at least 50 people, including foreign tourists are reported missing after a blizzard there triggered an avalanche in the
