Morning Express with Robin Meade

As a professional surfer, Bethany Hamilton is on the road more than 150 days out of the year. 

“It’s a pretty exciting lifestyle. I get to travel all around the world," she says. “I’ve seen a lot of cool places along the way and it’s been awesome.” 

When Angie Johnson joined the Air Force Band, she never expected it could catapult her to stardom.

In fact, Johnson had pretty much given up on her dreams of a singing career until an audience member at one of her military performances posted a video of her singing on YouTube. Nearly three million people have watched it to date, including Carson Daly, the host of NBC’s “The Voice."

Johnson came home from an overseas tour to audition for the show, where Cee Lo Green chose her for his team. She was eliminated in the battle rounds, but has since performed at the Grand Ole Opry, the White House and CMA Fest.

A South Florida teen is recovering from successful surgery to remove a spear that went straight through his head.  

Yasser Lopez’s X-ray is breathtaking. Just to perform the X-ray, doctors had to saw off (very carefully!) a portion of the spear, so Lopez’s head would fit into the scanner. Amazingly, doctors say the spear missed every major blood vessel in Lopez’s brain.
