" PSEUDOADDICTION ." DID THIS CONCEPT OF PSEUDOADDICTION COME WITH STUDIES BACKING IT UP? >> WE HAD NO STUDIES. WE, ACTUALLY... WE DID NOT HAVE ANY STUDIES. THAT'S THE THING THAT WAS KIND OF DISTURBING WAS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE STUDIES TO PRESENT TO THE DOCTORS. >> Reporter: YOU KNOW HOW THAT SOUNDS? >> I KNOW. I... I WAS NAIVE. >> Reporter: A 2015 STUDY PUBLISHED IN " CURRENT ADDICTION REPORTS" FOUND NO EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT PSEUDOADDICTION AS A DIAGNOSIS. IN A STATEMENT TO CBS NEWS, PURDUE SAID IT IS CONFIDENT THAT OXYCONTIN SALES HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT WITH THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE F. D. A .- APPROVED LABEL. BUT THE WORD " PSEUDOADDICTION" DOESN'T APPEAR ON OXYCONTIN'S LABEL, AND A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE F. D. A. SAID THE LABELING IS NOT INTENDED AS A DISCUSSION OF PSEUDOADDICTION. >> I REJECT ANY NOTION THAT THERE'S SCIENCE BEHIND PSEUDOADDICTION. >> Reporter: OKLAHOMA ATTORNEY GENERAL MIKE HUNTER IS ONE OF TWO DOZEN A. G. s SUING PURDUE AND OTHER OPIOID MANUFACTURERS. MANY OF THE LAWSUITS MENTION PSEUDOADDICTION. DO YOU THINK THIS IS AN EPIDEMIC THAT BEGINS WITH PURDUE PHARMA AND OXYCONTIN? >> YES. >> Reporter: THAT'S THE START OF IT ALL? >> YES. >> Reporter: CAROL PANARA, WHO QUIT IN 2013, SAID SHE HOPES THE DRUG MAKER IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE. DO YOU REGRET THE FIVE YEARS YOU SPENT WITH PURDUE PHARMA? >> I'M GOING TO SUM IT UP AND SAY THIS: I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE, IF NOT THE WORST CAREER DECISION OF MY LIFE. >> Reporter: TONY DOKOUPIL, CBS, NEWS, NEW YORK. >> Quijano: STILL AHEAD, HOW AIRLINES ARE CUTTING COSTS BY MAKING THEIR PLANES LOSE WEIGHT. >> Quijano: THE INDUSTRY TRADE ORGANIZATION AIRLINES FOR AMERICA ESTIMATES A RECORD 246 MILLION PEOPLE WILL FLY THIS SUMMER. AS MORE AMERICANS THAN EVER ARE HOPPING FLIGHTS, THE AIRLINES ARE MAKING THEIR PLANES LOSE WEIGHT. KRIS VAN CLEAVE EXPLAINS WHY. >> Reporter: LONG BEFORE THIS BOEING 787 LEFT THE GATE, A TEAM AT UNITED AIRLINES WAS FOCUSED ON MAKING IT AND THEIR ENTIRE 750- PLANE FLEET AS LIGHT AS POSSIBLE. EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS, EVEN ON A PLANE THAT WEIGHS MORE THAN 250, 000 POUNDS. UNITED RETHOUGHT EVERYTHING ABOUT ITS AIRCRAFT, FROM WHAT IS STOCKED IN THE GALLEY TO REDESIGNING BATHROOMS-- AND, YES, SOME OF THOSE DID GET SMALLER-- TO NEWER, LIGHTER SEATS, MANY WITHOUT HEAVY VIDEO MONITORS. THESE NEW CARGO CONTAINERS ARE ABOUT 80 POUNDS LIGHTER, WHICH WILL SAVE TWO MILLION GALLONS OF FUEL A YEAR, AND STOPPING DUTY- FREE SALES SAVED UNITED ANOTHER 1. 4 MILLION GALLONS. THAT'S A COMBINED SAVINGS OF ABOUT $ 7 MILLION. OTHER AIRLINES ARE PINCHING POUNDS. SOUTHWEST IS ROLLING OUT SLIMLINE SEATS IN ITS 737 MAX FLEET. THE LOW- AIRFARE CARRIER SAVED 148, 000 GALLONS OF FUEL BY CHANGE THE WAY IT STOCKS THE GALLEY AND DROPPING GLASS BOTTLES FOR CANS. GIVING PILOTS TABLETS INSTEAD OF PAPER MANUALS SAVES 80 POUNDS A FLIGHT, TRANSLATING TO 576, 000 GALLON FUELS A YEAR. THAT'S MORE THAN $ 1 MILLION IN SAVINGS ANNUALLY. FUEL IS BASICALLY 99 % OF AN AIRLINE'S CARBON FOOTPRINT. THE 737 MAX IS 14 % MORE EFFICIENT THAN ITS PREDECESSORS. AND LATER THIS SUMMER, UNITED PLANS TO COMPLETELY STRIP DOWN ONE OF ITS AIRLINERS TO SEE IF IT CAN SAVE ANY MORE WEIGHT AND, THUS, FUEL. KRIS VAN CLEAVE, CBS NEWS, HOUSTON. >> Quijano: UP NEXT, BENEATH THE LAND OF OLD FAITHFUL. A SLEEPING GIANT APPEARS TO BE STIRRING. >> Quijano: WE END TONIGHT AT YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, A TOURIST HOT SPOT THAT'S HOME TO AN ANCIENT, UNDERGROUND SUPERVOLCANO, A SLEEPING GIANT THAT'S BEEN MOSTLY QUIET FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. BUT AS JAMIE YUCCAS REPORTS, RECENT ERUPTIONS HAVE SOME WONDERING IF THE GIANT IS AWAKENING. ( CROWD SCREAMING ) >> Reporter: STEAMBOAT GEYSER, THE WORLD'S TALLEST AND FAR MORE POWERFUL THAN OLD FAITHFUL, IS ROARING BACK TO LIFE. >> OH, MY GOSH! >> Reporter: STEAMBOAT HAS ERUPTED NINE TIMES IN THREE MONTHS. PRIOR TO THAT, IT ERUPTED JUST TEN TIMES IN 27 YEARS. AND, YES, IT CAN DO WHAT KILAUEA HAS DONE ON HAWAII'S BIG ISLAND, ONLY MUCH, MUCH BIGGER. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) A SUPERVOLCANO. BECAUSE THIS GEYSER FIELD AT YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK LIES ON TOP OF AN ACTIVE VOLCANO WITH MULTIPLE CHAMBERS OF MAGMA FROM DEEP BENEATH THE EARTH, THE SAME ENERGY THAT CAUSES GEYSERS TO BLOW COULD SPEW AN ASH CLOUD AS FAR AS CHICAGO AND LOS ANGELES. >> IT'S AMAZING TO THINK OF THE SCALE OF THESE ERUPTIONS. >> Reporter: MIKE POLAND IS THE SCIENTIST IN CHARGE OF THE YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO OBSERVATORY. THE ERUPTION THAT CREATED THE PARK WAS 70, 000 YEARS AGO, AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF THAT HAPPENING ANY TIME SOON. BUT SCIENTISTS DO WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S BEHIND THE MOST RECENT ACTIVITY. >> WE SEE GAS EMISSIONS. WE SEE ALL KINDS OF THERMAL ACTIVITY. THAT'S WHAT YELLOWSTONE DOES. THAT'S WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC PLACES ON EARTH. >> Reporter: AND THE LEAST- PREDICTABLE GEYSER IN THE PARK IS STEAMBOAT. IT COULD ERUPT IN FIVE MINUTES, FIVE YEARS, EVEN 50. BUT NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO TURN AWAY. >> THAT WOULD BE A CHANCE IN A LIFETIME. I WOULD BE AMAZED. >> Reporter: TIMING IS EVERYTHING. ONLY A LUCKY FEW GET TO SEE THIS. >> OH, WOW. >> WE ALL WANT TO SEE THIS KIND OF THING. I MEAN, I'M SORT OF HOPING IT GOES OFF RIGHT NOW. >> Reporter: POLAND'S TEAM OF VOLCANOLOGISTS ARE USING THERMAL IMAGING EQUIPMENT TO TRACK THE TEMPERATURE OF THE 50- MILE- WIDE MAGMA FIELD. THEY ALSO MONITOR 28 SEISMOGRAPHS, BECAUSE A SUPERVOLCANO WOULD INCLUDE MAJOR EARTHQUAKE ACTIVITY. THAT SO MUCH IS HAPPENING NOW IS A BOON NOT JUST FOR SCIENTISTS, BUT FOR SCIENCE ENTHUSIASTS LIKE HANNAH GILBERT. >> THIS IS AMAZING. THIS IS LIKE A NERD'S PARADISE. >> Reporter: IS THIS LIKE A SUPER BOWL? >> YES, YES, JUST SO MUCH BETTER. >> Reporter: JAMIE YUCCAS, CBS NEWS, YELLOWSTONE. >> Quijano: THAT'S THE " CBS WEEKEND NEWS" FOR THIS SATURDAY.
