:00:10. > :00:14.seen across the United States a couple of hours ago, in ABC World
:00:15. > :00:20.News with David Muir. Tonight, the breaking news of a us crash in Times
:00:21. > :00:24.Square. Filled with tourists, the chaos and the injured, so many of
:00:25. > :00:29.them pedestrians, and we are on the scene tonight. Gunned down. The
:00:30. > :00:31.American two star general shot and killed in Afghanistan. Our
:00:32. > :00:37.correspondent is right here. Wiped away, mudslides across several
:00:38. > :00:43.states. The woman trapped in this car, and the rescuer pulled away.
:00:44. > :00:46.And look at this. The house collapsing in front of our eyes. In
:00:47. > :00:51.the air scare. Imagine looking at your window and seeing this. Fighter
:00:52. > :01:07.jets suddenly as good in your plane. And the stunning moment that led to
:01:08. > :01:12.this. Good evening. It is great to have you with us. We have several
:01:13. > :01:15.major stories tonight. First, the chaotic scene still unfolding at
:01:16. > :01:21.this hour in Times Square. Millions of families visit every year as you
:01:22. > :01:24.know. Two double`decker is involved in the crash at the crossroads of
:01:25. > :01:28.the world. Teaming with tourists, not far from where you live up to
:01:29. > :01:33.get those Rodway tickets. Passengers stunned as one bus crashes into
:01:34. > :01:37.another. More than a dozen injured, most of them pedestrians walking on
:01:38. > :01:42.the sidewalk. Our correspondent is there tonight. Right over my
:01:43. > :01:46.shoulder, the front of a tour bus, nearly demolished. All of this in
:01:47. > :01:52.one of the busiest intersections in the world. Chaos tonight in the
:01:53. > :01:58.beating heart of New York City. Times Square, right by the famous
:01:59. > :02:02.Broadway ticket booth. And then I started screaming. A blue
:02:03. > :02:06.double`decker tour bus, crashing into another double`decker tour bus,
:02:07. > :02:11.which then smashed into a lamppost, toppling it. All in the middle of
:02:12. > :02:15.hundreds of tourists. We were just about to cross the street, and then
:02:16. > :02:21.this bus driver, really crazy bus driver, came at a very high speed
:02:22. > :02:24.and hit the lady standing right next to my daughter, and she flew through
:02:25. > :02:29.the air and she landed right there. And I pulled her back, and we hit
:02:30. > :02:33.this poll, and that was it. Bystanders swooping in to help the
:02:34. > :02:38.injured. This woman in red huddled over one victim, others carried away
:02:39. > :02:43.on stretchers. This eyewitness carried the bloody scene on his
:02:44. > :02:53.cellphone. I heard a big room. I saw the poll going, like tumbling down.
:02:54. > :02:59.`` pole. Everyone was lying down injured, screaming, asking for help.
:03:00. > :03:03.All of this unfolding in a jampacked Times Square, steps away from where
:03:04. > :03:10.tourists lined up for tickets to Broadway shows. 14 injuries so far
:03:11. > :03:14.including a child. 11 of those injured were pedestrians, and not on
:03:15. > :03:19.either bus. Buses were not crowded, but three people on board were
:03:20. > :03:24.hurt. We did have one person, the tour guide, had to be removed from
:03:25. > :03:29.the bus. He had was caught under the dashboard, actually. She wasn't
:03:30. > :03:34.badly injured. I was praying and hoping nobody would get killed, you
:03:35. > :03:39.know what I mean? But all I saw was just people laying underground.
:03:40. > :03:44.Police tell us the investigation is just beginning `` lying on the
:03:45. > :03:50.grounds. They will be looking at surveillance from private businesses
:03:51. > :03:53.and public cameras to find out what happened. I want to bring in the
:03:54. > :03:58.police Commissioner Ray Kelly, watching this with me today. You
:03:59. > :04:02.told me this was one of the areas of New York which concerns the police
:04:03. > :04:06.Commissioner the most. Correct, last year we had 50 million tourists in
:04:07. > :04:11.New York City. And virtually all of them at some point made it to Times
:04:12. > :04:14.Square. 52 million, a lot of relief that the injuries were not worse
:04:15. > :04:17.than what we had absolutely. The injuries could have been a lot more
:04:18. > :04:24.serious. We are thankful, and we were lucky. Thank you. We will turn
:04:25. > :04:28.out to be other major story we are following tonight. As one out of
:04:29. > :04:31.Afghanistan. An American to star general killed by an Afghan
:04:32. > :04:35.soldier. It is believed the US might have trained him. Tonight the US
:04:36. > :04:40.base, the scene of the shooting, on lockdown. This evening, what we are
:04:41. > :04:44.learning about the so`called guardian angels they are in the room
:04:45. > :04:53.at the moment the gunman opened fire, and what they did which likely
:04:54. > :04:58.saved lives. `` there in the room. It was broad daylight at a training
:04:59. > :05:02.centre inside, Major General Harold Greene. The commander of the
:05:03. > :05:06.training mission was meeting with American, Afghan, and other Nato
:05:07. > :05:14.troops. Then from an elevated position, the gunman struck. He was
:05:15. > :05:17.a member of the security forces, trained by Americans in uniform.
:05:18. > :05:21.Opening fire with an automatic weapon, hitting the general and
:05:22. > :05:24.those around him. More than 12 wounded, many seriously. Within
:05:25. > :05:32.seconds, the so`called guardian angels, soldiers, Americans armed
:05:33. > :05:37.and present to protect against such attacks, fired back, killing the
:05:38. > :05:40.gunman. But it is too late. Major General Harold Greene, the American
:05:41. > :05:45.to star general, one of the nation's top ranking officers, was
:05:46. > :05:50.dead. The loss of any life is tragic, but the symbolism will have
:05:51. > :05:53.a huge effect on US forces. Major General Harold Greene, who lived in
:05:54. > :05:56.Virginia and is well`known in the military, has a son in the army and
:05:57. > :06:00.a daughter who recently graduated from college. He is the first
:06:01. > :06:06.general officer to die in a war zone from hostile fire in Vietnam's.
:06:07. > :06:11.American soldiers pride themselves on taking care of their leaders. The
:06:12. > :06:14.many generals I have travelled with in Iraq and Afghanistan are always
:06:15. > :06:18.surrounded late security. That failed today. The number of these
:06:19. > :06:22.insider attacks has gone down as American forces won't down their war
:06:23. > :06:28.in Afghanistan. But it is still a dangerous place, and losing a
:06:29. > :06:34.general who had mental and so many troops and have more than 30 years
:06:35. > :06:41.in the military, is an especially painful reminder. Thank you. We turn
:06:42. > :06:45.now to the growing alert over the deadly Ebola virus. You remember
:06:46. > :06:51.these images, the doctor infected, in hospital in Atlanta. Now a second
:06:52. > :06:55.patient, the same hospital, this time we'll get in on a stretcher.
:06:56. > :07:01.You see those workers covered from head to toe in protective gear.
:07:02. > :07:03.Today her family are saying that one week after considering possible
:07:04. > :07:16.funeral plans, they have new reason for hope.
:07:17. > :07:23.Driven to this hospital, the paramedics who wield her had to
:07:24. > :07:26.where hazmat suits. A relief agency said the hospital where she worked
:07:27. > :07:31.isn't taking new patients. Investigators on the scene are
:07:32. > :07:38.trying to investigate how she and Doctor Bradley are infected `` were
:07:39. > :07:44.infected. We don't know where the contact point was. Her job was
:07:45. > :07:47.personnel could water later. When patients poured in sick with Ebola,
:07:48. > :07:52.she was right there helping disinfect doctors and nurses. Before
:07:53. > :08:00.moving her, we looked inside the ambulance. Doctor Bradley was moved
:08:01. > :08:08.inside the same vehicle. In West Africa, this is the deadliest
:08:09. > :08:13.outbreak. Of nearly 2500 deaths, more than one third happened since
:08:14. > :08:18.March this year. So frightening, British airways have suspended
:08:19. > :08:21.flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone. Despite the risks, an American
:08:22. > :08:26.doctor and others tell us they are heading into the danger zone, trying
:08:27. > :08:33.to keep the world safe. We are not cavalier. Everyone going in has
:08:34. > :08:37.training to handle this. Both seek missionaries say they were answering
:08:38. > :08:44.the call of God. Families are at the hospital praying together.
:08:45. > :08:50.Around the world, to the Middle East, the ceasefire is holding this
:08:51. > :08:54.evening. Images of life under the fragile truce in Gaza, children
:08:55. > :09:01.playing in a part. In Israel, families in bomb shelters. Israeli
:09:02. > :09:07.troops /PV for victory. Israel have pulled back forces from Gaza `` V
:09:08. > :09:14.for victory. They say to note that the tunnels have been destroyed. We
:09:15. > :09:18.turn to the skies over England. One man looking out the window and
:09:19. > :09:22.seeing this. That is a fighter jet off the wing, escorting the plane to
:09:23. > :09:26.the nearest airport. The moment was captured by people on the ground.
:09:27. > :09:35.Triggered by a note sent to the pilot midflight.
:09:36. > :09:42.It was minutes from landing. A window, some of the passengers saw
:09:43. > :09:48.this `` out the window. A fighter jet responding to an emergency. I
:09:49. > :09:53.saw the fighter jet outside my window, that was when I began
:09:54. > :09:58.shaking. The passengers didn't know the pilot radioed an alarm after
:09:59. > :10:04.being handed a note from a man that an explosive device was on board.
:10:05. > :10:07.Heading from Joe Hart to Manchester, the flighty jets
:10:08. > :10:15.scrambled to escort the plane in `` Doha. Police swooped in once on the
:10:16. > :10:20.ground, arresting the passenger. It was terrifying all the way through.
:10:21. > :10:27.You never think you would be in that situation. Airline around the world
:10:28. > :10:35.are on edge. Recently in Canada, two weeks ago, a SWAT team storming a
:10:36. > :10:41.flight after a threat was made. Passengers are once again shaken up.
:10:42. > :10:45.Fortunately, no suspicious device was found on board the plane and the
:10:46. > :10:50.passenger who made the bomb threat is in police custody tonight. We
:10:51. > :10:57.turn to the economy. The Dow closed nearly 140 points,
:10:58. > :11:04.fuelled by concerns over the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
:11:05. > :11:08.More at head, the rescue at sea, the father and kids 12 miles out, their
:11:09. > :11:14.boat sinks. The one device they have that saved them all. Later, the kid
:11:15. > :11:19.who steals the show `` ahead. I don't watch the news because I'm a
:11:20. > :11:24.kid. Grampa gives me the remote after we watch Powerball. The
:11:25. > :11:27.five`year`old who grabbed the microphone in the middle of a news
:11:28. > :12:12.report is right here with us tonight.
:12:13. > :12:19.To the danger in the west, heavy rain and flooding is expected in the
:12:20. > :12:24.evening. This moment is near Las Vegas with a car swept away. The
:12:25. > :12:29.driver was trapped inside. Another car was hurtling toward them. Also,
:12:30. > :12:36.in Salt Lake City a state of emergency. A home collapses as the
:12:37. > :12:43.camera rolls. About 20 families are out of their
:12:44. > :12:50.homes tonight after a neighbour's house, look before, and after,
:12:51. > :12:57.collapsed following heavy rain triggered a landslide. I told my
:12:58. > :13:01.husband to wake up the kids. With good reason. This part of Utah has
:13:02. > :13:09.seen twice the rainy usually does in two weeks. One homeowner has been
:13:10. > :13:14.damaged. We are trained to keep it like that. Heavy rain is causing
:13:15. > :13:21.damage next door in Nevada where a flash flood sent one car surging
:13:22. > :13:26.toward a white Prius. A woman was trapped inside. Watch as a group of
:13:27. > :13:33.air and passing by Paul Bullmer woman out of the top dap `` top of
:13:34. > :13:34.the driver's seat. One man saving the woman was nearly swept away
:13:35. > :13:47.himself. We came up high tonight to give you
:13:48. > :13:54.a perspective of how much land came tumbling down. It is raining again
:13:55. > :13:59.tonight. It isn't good news. There isn't word on when those families
:14:00. > :14:08.will be allowed back home. Thank you. I want to bring in our
:14:09. > :14:14.meteorologist in Philadelphia. We aren't in the clear yet?
:14:15. > :14:19.The moisture is pushing north so the border of Nevada, Idaho and Utah
:14:20. > :14:24.could get 2`3 inches of rain, causing more flooding and mudslides.
:14:25. > :14:29.A cold front is slicing through the midwest into Kentucky. For inches of
:14:30. > :14:34.rain with potential of severe weather there as well.
:14:35. > :14:42.You are tracking high retained and a tropical storm tonight.
:14:43. > :14:50.`` to correct and is `` hurricanes. The first one has 125 mph winds. As
:14:51. > :14:57.it pushes towards the islands, it will encounter wind and dry air, so
:14:58. > :15:03.it will weaken. It looks like it will hit the Hawaiian islands as a
:15:04. > :15:10.tropical storm, followed by Julio. Meantime, we were speaking about
:15:11. > :15:15.Hurricane Bertha, where is it now? It is weakening and is no threat to
:15:16. > :15:20.land. It will continue moving out to sea. The problem along the Eastern
:15:21. > :15:26.Seaboard is dangerous rip currents. There was a drowning yesterday off
:15:27. > :15:32.the coast of the Atlanta city. Thank you. We are watching the
:15:33. > :15:34.wildfires in the west. 11 in California were tonight,
:15:35. > :15:38.firefighters received a boost in the form of rain and cold weather. We
:15:39. > :15:44.saw the images of a woman capturing the moment as our plane drops fire
:15:45. > :15:50.retardant into her backyard. This approach, a cabin wrapped in foiled
:15:51. > :15:54.by firefighters. Take a look at this survivor. A bear cub spotted by
:15:55. > :16:00.neighbours, rescued and tonight, we are told it is recovering.
:16:01. > :16:04.We return to the stranded swimmers who recorded the rescue at sea.
:16:05. > :16:06.Their boat sank. Our correspondent on what they had that saved them.
:16:07. > :16:33.The only way this helicopter came shark infested waters below, filmed
:16:34. > :16:35.by this 15`year`old on are approximately 12 miles off land
:16:36. > :16:40.`` GoPro. Water was coming into fast. They jumped into the kayak
:16:41. > :16:45.they had on board, lashed them together and prayed. Their saviour,
:16:46. > :16:51.a simple GPS tracking device they brought with them on their
:16:52. > :16:56.adventure. It takes the search out of search and rescue. It takes us
:16:57. > :17:00.right to their position. We are getting rescue. That is what
:17:01. > :17:07.happened on the high seas off Hawaii. It was such a good site. We
:17:08. > :17:15.were waiting for two hours and we were so stoked `` sight. This cost
:17:16. > :17:18.$280. They aren't mandatory but they are highly recommended. It could
:17:19. > :17:22.mean the difference between life and death.
:17:23. > :17:25.This turned what could have been a bad news story into a very good news
:17:26. > :17:30.story. What helped the coastguard locating
:17:31. > :17:35.them quickly was that they had them on board. Husbands reunited with
:17:36. > :17:41.their wives and kids with their parents. A cautionary tale.
:17:42. > :17:44.We have been to the county fair, but this evening a five`year`old being
:17:45. > :17:52.interviewed was much more than the reporter bargained for.
:17:53. > :18:01.It began with a simple question, what did you think about the right?
:18:02. > :18:07.`` ride? It was great! I have never been on live TV before. Apparently
:18:08. > :18:15.he was about to give a bombastic review. I don't watch the news. I am
:18:16. > :18:20.a kid, apparently grampa gives me the remote after we watch the
:18:21. > :18:24.Powerball. Right there in Pennsylvania's county fair, giving a
:18:25. > :18:27.play`by`play of the rides. Apparently, you're spinning around.
:18:28. > :18:32.Apparently, every time you get dizzy. When I went down, I was
:18:33. > :18:40.scared half to death. I just freaked out. We dropped in on him. Did you
:18:41. > :18:48.expect to go to the fair and be a superstar? No, I didn't. We join him
:18:49. > :19:00.digging for dinosaurs. I was a little embarrassed. Why? I said all
:19:01. > :19:03.that stuff about my life. Tonight, on the world stage with the last
:19:04. > :19:15.word. We will throw it back to David in the studio. Now, back to you. I
:19:16. > :19:24.am no, now, back to you. We love the second take even more `` Noah. Can I
:19:25. > :19:27.be done now? Apparently, we are out of time. See you here tomorrow
:19:28. > :19:43.night. Hi. Looking ahead, the weather
:19:44. > :19:45.pattern will be more changeable. We will all
