:06:06. > :06:08.Stewart expressing grief: There aren't words to describe their Adis

:06:28. > :06:31.We move on to the severe weather across much of the east. So much
:06:32. > :06:36.rain and flooding possible that some airlines are offering to waive fees
:06:37. > :06:42.and change flights. Heavy rain causes severe flooding in South

:07:48. > :07:50.afternoon and evening. Then, a cold front comes through, which could
:07:51. > :07:53.spark lightning. You will be back on your report into
:07:54. > :07:59.the sharks tonight. Stunning images. In the meantime, we
:08:00. > :08:02.move overseas to the growing crisis in Iraq. Later today, President
:08:03. > :08:08.Obama warned that they need to come up with a political solution. We see
:08:09. > :08:11.the view this evening from an American F`18 military operation
:08:12. > :08:14.under way to support humanitarian aid and airstrikes. There is concern
:08:15. > :08:25.over Americans on the ground in Erbil and `` in Iraq. Thousands

:09:17. > :09:23.would have happened if you had stayed on the mountain? We would
:09:24. > :09:27.die, no food, no he knows America is parachuting in food and water and
:09:28. > :09:33.carrying out airstrikes on ISIS targets. But today the Pentagon said
:09:34. > :09:37.it wasn't enough to stop them permanently. Do you feel let down by
:09:38. > :09:42.the same troops you served alongside?
:09:43. > :09:48.While talking with 21`year`old Haifa, she receives a phone call
:09:49. > :09:55.from a relative she says is now held captive by ISIS. She hears of
:09:56. > :10:04.unspeakable horrors. Here tonight at this camp, there are people who know
:10:05. > :10:09.they are lucky to be alive. I want to bring in our chief
:10:10. > :10:13.political affairs correspondent at our Washington bureau tonight. You
:10:14. > :10:16.were on the air with me with the president later today and any
:10:17. > :10:21.indication of how long this will last from your sources? There have
:10:22. > :10:25.been nearly 20 airstrikes now but the general who heads operations at
:10:26. > :10:30.the Pentagon said while the airstrikes have disrupted the
:10:31. > :10:34.advance on Irbil, ISIS remains very well organised and well`equipped and
:10:35. > :10:38.the general reiterated that the US has no intention of expanding those
:10:39. > :10:42.strikes to other areas unless Americans are directly threatened.
:10:43. > :10:46.Today we did see political progress. Iraq nominated a new Prime
:10:47. > :10:51.Minister, that is supposed to mean the end of power for Newry and the,
:10:52. > :10:57.Iran's leader for years, long accused of not sharing power and
:10:58. > :11:02.exacting political revenge `` Newry Al`Megrahi. Seemingly good news for
:11:03. > :11:05.Barack Obama, seen here huddling with his national security adviser
:11:06. > :11:11.at Martha's Vineyard, but it is not clear whether he will leave without
:11:12. > :11:17.a fight. Thanks very much. We're going to turn out to the heirs
:11:18. > :11:26.scare, some Jet Blue passengers still recovering from a terrifying
:11:27. > :11:34.takeoff `` Air scare. It was apparently due to a third. How
:11:35. > :11:37.common are they? `` Bird. For this family, landing at JFK this morning
:11:38. > :11:43.marked the end of a horrifying journey. It was touch and go. They
:11:44. > :11:47.were among the 186 people on board this JetBlue flight, an engine
:11:48. > :11:53.catching fire during a routine takeoff to JFK from Paul Taricco.
:11:54. > :11:58.People started screaming and they wanted to bust open the exits with
:11:59. > :12:08.their arms `` Paul Taricco. It caused the jet to abort takeoff.
:12:09. > :12:13.Everyone evacuated on slides. Today JetBlue confirms it was caused by a
:12:14. > :12:16.bird strike. Wildfires like this are rare, bird strikes are literally
:12:17. > :12:29.common `` while fires. Early this year, a pilot in Florida
:12:30. > :12:34.captured the moment a bird smashed into his cockpit. In the so`called
:12:35. > :12:40.miracle on the Hudson in 2009, a double bird strike took out both
:12:41. > :12:43.engines of a commercial plane. The majority happened during takeoff and
:12:44. > :12:48.landing, so airports around the country take a number of steps to
:12:49. > :12:53.keep wildlife awake. From scaring animals off with dogs to simply
:12:54. > :12:57.cutting the grass more often, making runways less attractive to birds and
:12:58. > :13:01.safer for planes. Now to an image being repeated
:13:02. > :13:03.across this country tonight, and all of it to raise awareness about a
:13:04. > :13:19.debilitating disease. Young reunion look like this? Across
:13:20. > :13:23.America it might? The Kennedy clan or dousing
:13:24. > :13:29.And Ethel Kennedy at the end of the line with a little help. It's not
:13:30. > :13:37.just the Kennedys, it's across the country. This movie star opening up
:13:38. > :13:47.the ice bags and then dumping the ice. Even the Patriots' cheerleaders
:13:48. > :13:52.getting the buckets ready. And just listen to their explanation. What do
:13:53. > :14:00.we want to do? Soak ourselves. They want to strike out ALS, the idea is
:14:01. > :14:03.simple. Dump it over your head before posting it online and then
:14:04. > :14:09.challenge somebody else to do it next. You have 24 hours to do it. It
:14:10. > :14:16.erupted when friends and family of this former college Boston captain,
:14:17. > :14:19.who was diagnosed with ALS, began challenging people to make a
:14:20. > :14:24.statement while shivering. His father was proud. It proves the
:14:25. > :14:30.goodness of human beings and the power of people, the power of
:14:31. > :14:35.positivity. His wife. This isn't your elderly grandfather that gets
:14:36. > :14:39.ALS, it is a young people's disease. Pete was diagnosed two
:14:40. > :14:46.years ago. He is paralysed now and can't speak on his own but his
:14:47. > :14:50.message is getting to so many. The ALS Association tonight has been
:14:51. > :14:55.flooded with calls, donations, up 6000%. Tonight his family is
:14:56. > :14:59.overwhelmed. Who knew that all we needed was a bucket and a bag of ice
:15:00. > :15:04.to create all the awareness we ever needed? Still much more ahead this
:15:05. > :15:09.Monday night. Billy Joel, the new video and the surprising face in the
:15:10. > :15:13.crowd. And the passengers stranded for five hours dangling in the air
:15:14. > :15:18.on a rollercoaster, why they got to them and why they gave them
:15:19. > :15:23.umbrellas and water. The 70 mph fast ball that had all the boys on the
:15:24. > :15:28.team cheering. You will hear from her show Jo coming up.
:15:29. > :16:04.`` you will hear from her coming Now to that amusement park scare in
:16:05. > :16:10.Maryland. Five hours in the blazing heat. We have more on the
:16:11. > :16:13.investigation and rescue. Thrill seekers stranded, a dizzying
:16:14. > :16:19.75 feet in the air. You don't know if it is going to fall. 17 adults
:16:20. > :16:25.and seven children tilting sideways, baking in the 85 degrees
:16:26. > :16:29.August heat. Firefighters climbing onto the tracks, handing out water
:16:30. > :16:36.and umbrellas. Then, five hours in, a delicate rescue. Attaching straps
:16:37. > :16:41.to each passenger and one at a time leading them back to solid ground. I
:16:42. > :16:47.was afraid it was going to fall. Of the ride at six flags, Maryland.
:16:48. > :16:51.Normally a high velocity tangle of twists and turns, suddenly stopped
:16:52. > :17:04.damp in its tracks. The right behind me is still closed `` dead in its
:17:05. > :17:09.tracks. Last month 22 people were left in Los Angeles. Last week in
:17:10. > :17:16.New Jersey, one rider recording his nerve wracking walk down after his
:17:17. > :17:21.rollercoaster theme parks around the country engaged in a kind of arms
:17:22. > :17:25.race of faster, ever more thrilling rides. But the industry points out
:17:26. > :17:29.the chance of being seriously injured in an American theme park is
:17:30. > :17:37.just one in 24 million. Still, seems like these leading critics to call
:17:38. > :17:41.for stricter safety regulations of themepark rides. Theme parks are
:17:42. > :17:47.only regulated by the industry, by themselves, it's time for regulators
:17:48. > :17:50.in Washington to take a closer look. Tonight the themepark promises a
:17:51. > :17:56.closer investigation and they say the safety of guests is the top
:17:57. > :18:00.priority. A 13`year`old girl making us all take notice, leading a team
:18:01. > :18:05.of boys to the Little League World Series. She has a blazing 70 mph

:18:16. > :18:20.They will play in front of their hometown fans this evening on ESPN.
:18:21. > :18:28.Now to the Billy Joel concert, the famous song and the famous face

:18:35. > :18:38.the Internet going wild of Billy Joel singing and his ex`wife,
:18:39. > :18:43.Christie Brinkley. She was featured in the sun's original video in the
:18:44. > :18:51.early 80s. She posted this picture on Instagram, still looks amazing ``
:18:52. > :18:54.Song's original video. Here she is swaying and then there is this
:18:55. > :19:00.behind`the`scenes moment. Finally tonight, discovery shark week is
:19:01. > :19:06.back and meteorologist Ginger diving into the ocean, she is right there
:19:07. > :19:09.and swimming with sharks. Ripping at a bated chain almost 40
:19:10. > :19:24.sharks in a feeding frenzy. Just yards below, me. No cage, no
:19:25. > :19:30.chainmail suit. It is OK because I am with Stuart, a 30 year shark

:20:21. > :20:28.wasn't quite ready for a belly rub, I did get in a few pets. A magical
:20:29. > :20:36.oh, my God. Wow. Half of the species are near
:20:37. > :20:40.extinction because of unnecessary killing. We need to all become shark
:20:41. > :20:45.ambassadors. That was extraordinary. We were wearing
:20:46. > :20:49.wetsuits, flippers, making us not look like the fish they do want to
:20:50. > :20:53.eat. I'm happy to hear that, great to have you back. That's it tonight,
:20:54. > :20:58.we want to see you first thing in the morning on GMA and I will see

:21:17. > :21:21.experiencing. More of the same on Tuesday. There will be sunshine in
:21:22. > :21:25.between them. With the notable exception of parts of Scotland, were
