27/03/2014 ABC World News with Diane Sawyer

claimed the lives of 16 people. Time now for a look at the news as seen

across the United States a couple of hours ago, in ABC World News with

Dianne Sawyer. Welcome to world news. Spring Blizzard, a blinding

snowstorm with The Hurricane force Northwind. And a spear of icy air

driving into the heart of Georgia. 120 objects seen in the Indian

Ocean. Will one of them lead to the missing plane? We take you inside a

hot zone tonight. The race to contain one of the most deadly

diseases in the world. And, behind the picture, the construction worker

dangling from that balcony as a wall of fire at. He finally talk about

his leap of faith. Good evening. Seven days into spring

and looking a lot like the wilds of winter. The most powerful storm in

decades has hit. Tonight, from Georgia a blast so`called it will

shatter records. Our correspondent is there. Tonight, a powerful wizard

turning Cape Cod into a desolate windy Punter. The angry ocean

churning. Battering horror came flags. Here are Cape Cod, that

massive storm is clipping the land, bringing wind to 70 mph and up to a

foot of snow. This 200 `year`old home is now a pile of timber. So

this is spring is Matt this is our spring. Storefronts shouted. This

man is struggling just to stand in the howling wind. The strongest

north`easterly wind in decades. Gusts over 83 mph. High winds fanned

the flames at this fire in Boston. We are just learning that two

firefighters lost their lives. There was slipping and sliding at Atlantic

City. In Washington, there was Terry blossoms are fighting to bloom. I am

so done. Behind the storm, cold. Potentially record low temperatures

for the north`east. And for State in the south are under threes audience.

Temperatures will get down to the teams tonight. Millions in the

north`east are now hoping that this storm will be the last.

Now, the biggest break yet in the search for MH370. Lost in the Indian

Ocean. A objects were seen floating on the water by satellite. The race

is on to breach them and see if the hold the had to the mystery.

We are in the sky before the sun. With the Royal New Zealand Air

Force, one of 12 planes chasing the most promising lead yet. New

satellite images that show at least a objects floating in

flying just a few hundred feet high, review is

almost 500 miles above the earth. Beating them together into our

decant it tapestry. They can pinpoint objects just a couple of

feet wide. We spot what looks like debris, large enough for a seagull

to hitch a ride. We have a visible sighting. But the adrenaline rush is

short. The object turns out to be seaweed. Then, our first real lead.

We circle back. But whatever the crew saw, has now

vanished. Tomorrow, they will be back. More

eager than ever to solve the mystery. And now, back here at home

we had to Washington State where we are hearing new stories from the

moment that powerful mudslide hit homes and lives. Families were

shattered. The tiniest details blocking the difference between life

and death. You would never know it by the

mountain of mind at this four`year`old boy was watching TV

with his family when he wound up here. He is with his mother now but

his father and siblings are missing. He was very traumatised. He was

hypodermic on shivering badly. This man is missing as well. His family

is looking and will not give up. We found his uniforms and then he

couldn't talk any more. I was crying. On both sides of the slide,

flags are at half mast. So much unknown, so much of who lived and

who died random. This woman was babysitting her four`month`old

granddaughter. Neither made it out. We get texts who were trying to call

her. This man told of his comic has been churning because of the ocean.

This community will be different. We felt secure, we felt safe. Now, that

safety, that feeling of comfort has been shaken. Just gut wrenching for

people here. Most do not have time to mourn as the search goes on.

Other big news today. President Obama hurled a verbal rocket at

Vladimir Putin. He said, we are not in another Cold War but the Russians

should not think he can move on NATO nations.

In a solemn reminder of the cost of European wars, Obama laid the Reef

in honour of Americans who died during World War I. This hallowed

round reminds us we should never take progress for granted. He then

accused Russia of making the order that has destabilised peace in

Europe. in the 21st`century, the borders of Europe cannot be the

drawn with force. While he said the crisis cannot be resolved

militarily, he also drew a lion, saying that NATO countries will be

defended at any cost. The that promise, we will never waver. NATO

nations never stand alone. A politician responded to the

suggestion yesterday that Russia is just a regional power, saying,

Russia was, is and always will be a global power. Those Russian troops

continue to amass along Ukraine's order.

There is a drama underweight the hind the scenes of the President's

visit. Secret Service agent, critical of the President protection

have been sent home after a drinking binge. In this training video, the

president's motorcade is attacked by armed men. The Secret Service

counter assault team responds. Critical to the President's escape

in this training exercise. But today the counter assault him is under

fire because of an alleged drinking binge at three of its members set to

prepare for the President's visit in Europe. One agent was so drunk that

he passed out in the whole way. The director needs to fire them

immediately. They have failed us. The incident comes just two years

after the Columbia scandal. Agents admitted to sleeping with

prostitutes. New guidelines on conduct were put in place. There was

a zero tolerance policy on frat boy behaviour. They did this despite the

fact that the director was on the trip. There is a culture of being a

knucklehead. There is a culture of obnoxious this. Many of the Secret

Service are angry that a number of so`called knuckleheads are damaging

their reputation. Today a moment in a New York

courtroom just blocks from the World Trade Center decimated by terrorists

on 911. Some of Laden's son`in`law was founded guilty today. He was

found guilty of conspiring to kill Americans in the wake of 911. One

FBI official called Suleiman Abu Ghaith al`Qaeda's conciliatory. He

met with some of Eduard in a remote mountain cave. `` are some of the

dark. Next night, we go to the outbreak of the disease so fierce

and deadly even the word strikes terror, Ebola. It is on the move to

note in Africa. `` tonight. In a lifetime investigating

outbreaks, this was as scary as I have ever been. Not one piece of my

body is exposed. Making sure that every inch is covered. One careless

mistake can be deadly. Ebola is one of the most deadly viruses. The new

outbreak has already claimed 60 lives in Guinea. Four of the death

of a health`care workers trying to help. It causes organ failure,

internal bleeding any time somebody in the ward purchase anything they

are sprayed down disinfectant. `` touches. Medical teams are being

helped by the CDC. Good to have you back.

Now we will take a closer look at a new video of that frightening trend

crash in Chicago. `` trend crash. We go through this new video and

remember, the person driving had been working overtime and has fallen

asleep. A terrifying moment captured on

camera. A Chicago commuter train as it battles of the tracks on to a

platform and up an escalator. The operator of the train admits she

fell asleep at the controls. She did not wait until the train ran off the

tracks. `` awake. Passengers run for panic. 32 people aboard the train

suffered minor injuries. It is like somebody pushed me and then the

lights came out. Back in February she closed her eyes for a moment and

the train overshot the station. The driver often worked overnight

shifts. Tonight authorities are trying to figure out why an

automatic emergency brake system was activated but failed to stop the

train. Up next, leap of faith. The

construction worker dangling as the flames to send finally talks about

what he thought during the rescue. Next night, inside a moment of

crisis. Last night we showed you the dramatic video of a construction

worker hanging on a balcony and escaping a wall of fire with seconds

to spare. Tonight the man and the firefighter tell us what happened at

the top of the ladder. As flames devoured the building, a

construction worker found himself trapped inside an inferno. I said,

God, you have got to help me. He called out onto a balcony. I looked

back on the building and I saw flames behind me. He is five stories

up and the fire is getting closer and closer, burning through the

windows and doors. That is the critical moment. That is when he

thought there was no way he could go. Then he had an idea. At that

point it was do or die. I wanted to drop down to the patio below. That

was my only option. He is swinging. He lands on a balcony. It was then

that the fire captain comes in on his later. He was super Collett did.

The latter was about two feet short, so he had to jump again. ``

larger. `` lighter. They went, and within seconds, the moment that

would put everyone in danger. Tonight, the firefighter has been

called the real hero. A life and going back to work. `` a life.

We start with the so`called Bishop of Berlin. Remember the German

bishop who spent $43 million on home renovation? Today Pope Francis fired

him. He will remain a bishop in total, but the Vatican will give him

a job in the shadows. And an unbelievable jackpot in

1`man's are right. In 1969 Ford Mustang. It is a kind of holy Grail

for car lovers. It seems that the car was put in the Karachi and left

there. He was afraid he might nick the Pentium drove it. It has less

than 8000 miles on the car. It will be auctioned later this month. He

only paid $5,000 for it. It is worth well into six figures.

Tonight, witnessed an extraordinary act of kindness. A nine`year`old

girl was suspended for an act of compassion and also is argued that

love is the best lesson we can learn. `` until strangers.

Bellini and Cameron call themselves as transfer over. Playmates felt

some very adult news 3.5 years ago. My cancer... There was relapsed

after relapse. Each time chemotherapy took all of her hand.

But Cameron was not going to let her best friend people alone. I did not

want to be the only one. A bold move that came with a price. Like many

schools, the Colorado school has a dress code. She was told, do not

come back until you have hair. But after her mother wrote about it

online a national firestorm erupted. The scoreboard apologised, allowing

Cameron back, saying compassion and selfless act of courage to be

commended and encouraged. And now other acts are springing up. The

family has been inundated with countless messengers from strangers.

She is my best friend. Whatever happens we will be there for each

other. In one little girl's fight for life, a lesson that being

stronger means that some rules are meant to be broken.

We are so glad that you are with us tonight. We are always here 24 hours

per day. See you tomorrow. Good morning. There is definitely a

chill in the air despite all the cloud
