:00:00. > :00:12.of our stories on our website. Time now for ABC World News with David
:00:13. > :00:16.Muir. In developing news, the new fallout in the NFL. Is the
:00:17. > :00:20.Commissioner's job now on the line? Severe weather hitting tonight, the
:00:21. > :00:24.dramatic picture as the shopping more roof collapses, the tornado
:00:25. > :00:30.damage coming in and cold and snow on the way. The nude driving danger.
:00:31. > :00:35.We are in the patrol car as they pull this driver over `` new
:00:36. > :00:39.driving. It is not drunk driving, but the new danger is something
:00:40. > :00:44.else. And America marking September 11. Tonight we take you higher above
:00:45. > :00:49.Ground Zero for a view you have not seen, with the American workers
:00:50. > :00:54.finishing the new towers. Helping to build America. And the survivors
:00:55. > :00:59.seeing their old office view for the first time in over a decade. You can
:01:00. > :01:08.see the Statue of Liberty. The view which will make you smile tonight.
:01:09. > :01:14.Good evening, great to have you with us on this Thursday night. And on
:01:15. > :01:17.the September 11, we will show you the spectacular images from above
:01:18. > :01:23.Ground Zero in just a moment. But beginning in that raking story, the
:01:24. > :01:26.brand`new fire storm over NFL player Ray Rice, and one of the most
:01:27. > :01:30.powerful sports figures in the country, the NFL commissioner under
:01:31. > :01:34.fire. Facing a chorus of critics, some calling for him to step down.
:01:35. > :01:39.Our correspondent leads with new questions about what the commission
:01:40. > :01:46.a new and when. Tonight ESPN reports that according to multiple sources
:01:47. > :01:50.Ray Rice personally told Commissioner Roger Goodell that he
:01:51. > :01:54.punched his wife in the elevator. That appears to contradict earlier
:01:55. > :01:58.statements. The pressure on Roger Goodell growing even greater
:01:59. > :02:03.tonight. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, under fire and under wraps
:02:04. > :02:08.tonight, as football's top stars demand answers. We are all
:02:09. > :02:12.accountable for actions as players. Certainly every owner should be held
:02:13. > :02:15.accountable for their actions. The Commissioner should be held
:02:16. > :02:22.accountable for his actions. Roger Goodell insists he did not know the
:02:23. > :02:26.extent of the beating until TMZ released the devastating BDO on
:02:27. > :02:30.Monday. It could have been a better job done, because if TMZ can get it,
:02:31. > :02:37.why can't the National Football League desert? Other players simply
:02:38. > :02:41.tweeting goodbye Roger. The NFL has asked a former FBI chief to
:02:42. > :02:45.investigate the situation, including whether the NFL received the tape
:02:46. > :02:50.months ago from police and ignored it. The police record is clear,
:02:51. > :02:57.documents say Ray Rice punched his wife, rendering her unconscious.
:02:58. > :03:01.Tonight 16 female senators sending a letter to Roger Goodell, demanding a

:03:15. > :03:17.released, and all will be revealed. Moving on to the other breaking
:03:18. > :03:20.story tonight, extreme weather hitting. Rains so extreme. Look at
:03:21. > :03:24.this, the roof of a wall in Memphis this, the roof of a wall in Memphis
:03:25. > :03:29.collapsing under the weight of the water. This woman rescued in
:03:30. > :03:31.Tennessee as floodwaters as well. Also tornado damage coming into
:03:32. > :03:36.night, and look at this wall of winter cold weather coming down from
:03:37. > :03:41.Canada now and in some places, yes, the snow. The forecast in a moment,
:03:42. > :03:46.but first our senior meteorologist with the pictures coming into night.
:03:47. > :03:50.A flash flood emergency today in Memphis, Tennessee. The fire
:03:51. > :03:54.department dispatched boats with rescue crews to help people trapped
:03:55. > :03:58.in their flooded homes. This woman had to be carried to safety. The
:03:59. > :04:02.area in front of her home turned into a waterfall. Roads became
:04:03. > :04:06.rivers, street drains were unable to keep up with the huge amount of
:04:07. > :04:11.water. The rains were so heavy they caused this roof to collapse at this
:04:12. > :04:15.Memphis more, flooding stores and shattering display cases. Up to
:04:16. > :04:18.eight inches of rain falling in Memphis and Mississippi in just five
:04:19. > :04:22.hours. The same system swamped Indianapolis overnight, causing
:04:23. > :04:28.treacherous roads there. And that tornado going through Ohio last
:04:29. > :04:33.night Downing trees and tearing off roofs, was one of three hitting the
:04:34. > :04:40.state. There were all kinds of things flying around, and O'Bree.
:04:41. > :04:46.South decoder blanketed by snow. Some flowers in Spear fish wondering
:04:47. > :04:52.whether some fun went. Not fun looking at that. Hell heading south
:04:53. > :04:58.overnight. This is very unusual. We have not seen this kind of snow in
:04:59. > :05:02.rapid city, South Dakota, in many many years. We have 12 states under
:05:03. > :05:09.frost advisories and freeze warnings. Denver 34 degrees, 32 in
:05:10. > :05:14.Rapid City. Very early in the season. The cold front stall out to
:05:15. > :05:18.the south, spelling trouble for flash flooding potentially, rainfall
:05:19. > :05:20.from Texas up to the Carolinas. Especially in the east, they don't
:05:21. > :05:25.need any more rainfall, so additional rain could cause flash
:05:26. > :05:31.flooding. We turn now to America on the move against ISIS tonight.
:05:32. > :05:36.President Obama making his case to American people and the world saying
:05:37. > :05:39.it is time to degrade and destroyed ISIS, the terrorists who brutally
:05:40. > :05:43.killed those two American journalists. So on September 11,
:05:44. > :05:47.what is it me of our troops and our safety at home? I bring in our
:05:48. > :05:53.correspondent. You said last night America is clearly now at war with
:05:54. > :05:56.ISIS. Indeed, David. The administration prefers to call it a
:05:57. > :06:01.counterterrorism operation, but just look at what we are doing day after
:06:02. > :06:06.day. Pounding targets in Iraq, and that will expand to Syria. And those
:06:07. > :06:13.nearly 500 additional ground troops being sent to Iraq, they join more
:06:14. > :06:19.than 1000 US troops on the ground in Iraq. And all of them are supporting
:06:20. > :06:24.the combat mission, a mission which is not without risk. The CIA today
:06:25. > :06:30.estimates that more than 30,000 ISIS fighters are stationed across Iraq
:06:31. > :06:33.and Syria. Thank you as always. All of us on this day pausing to
:06:34. > :06:38.remember the her was and heart rate of September 11. These images from
:06:39. > :06:43.around the nation tonight. At the White House, President and Mrs Obama
:06:44. > :06:48.leading a moment of silence on the White House lawn. At the Pentagon,
:06:49. > :06:54.American flags on full display. US Navy men marking the place where
:06:55. > :07:00.Flight 93 went down. And mother kissing the engraved with her sons
:07:01. > :07:11.name. And tonight a view of Ground Zero we have not seen before.
:07:12. > :07:19.And tonight, the view that meet a smile.
:07:20. > :07:25.The last 25 people out of the south Tower, she was number 18. With her
:07:26. > :07:37.for that first trip to see the reflecting pools.
:07:38. > :07:48.Wow. Spotting the names of so many friends lost. This year we went with
:07:49. > :07:55.her to the new 9/11 Museum. Inside we hope those first words. Americans
:07:56. > :08:03.from all over the country opens it in it, taking through that day
:08:04. > :08:09.minute by minute. A quote from Florence back then. She took her
:08:10. > :08:16.shoes off so she could get down the stairs fast enough. We were there to
:08:17. > :08:23.see something else. There are the shoes. After years of keeping them
:08:24. > :08:29.in a box under her bed, she donated her shoes to the museum. What do you
:08:30. > :08:36.feel? I think they are in the best possible place they could be. But
:08:37. > :08:40.this year, outside, a welcome sight. So this is progress? The first
:08:41. > :08:44.office building to reopen for world trade. They invited us to see the
:08:45. > :08:49.view that she has not seen in more than a decade. This was my favourite
:08:50. > :08:53.view. She could already see it before we even got outside. On the
:08:54. > :09:01.deck, almost as high as her old office. We point out the sights of
:09:02. > :09:08.the New York city. And one vantage point that she remembers most. Lady
:09:09. > :09:16.liberty. And hovering right over us, the spire at the top 1776 feet, the
:09:17. > :09:21.tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. And with us, the
:09:22. > :09:26.American workers putting the finishing touches on it. Maxine told
:09:27. > :09:33.me was proud. Helping America, building the country brack back.
:09:34. > :09:37.Providing jobs and opportunity to thousands and thousands of people.
:09:38. > :09:43.That is the way we have reacted to the tragedy. But tonight, Florence
:09:44. > :09:52.is also remembering her friends lost. We are remembering the people.
:09:53. > :09:55.I think that is a good thing. Florence and America marking 9/11
:09:56. > :10:01.and one more remarkable image. We move on to other news. A new warning
:10:02. > :10:05.from the CDC about the mysterious virus striking children. Cases on
:10:06. > :10:13.the rise, expected that at least 15 states. The CDC telling people to be
:10:14. > :10:16.vigilant. We are meeting so many children struggling to breathe,
:10:17. > :10:20.putting on oxygen masks. These pictures coming in from the
:10:21. > :10:27.heartland. And we have tips for every parent watching.
:10:28. > :10:40.Doctor Angela, one of the worst ER days she has had. Frantic parents.
:10:41. > :10:44.Wheezing children. In the nine hours we spent at this hospital, we watch
:10:45. > :10:53.this waiting room fill up. Penelope, and her father rushing her in. How
:10:54. > :11:02.old are you? Three and a half? This virus can come on quickly. We just
:11:03. > :11:07.noticed the fever today. At least 15 states now grappling with suspected
:11:08. > :11:11.cases of this rest of the illness. About 100 kids on a normal day.
:11:12. > :11:17.Yesterday they saw more than 200. It is all the virus. We have had some
:11:18. > :11:26.pretty severe patience. At least for severe patience. This is just today.
:11:27. > :11:33.After that coughing and sneezing, a struggle just to breathe.
:11:34. > :11:40.Two`year`old Gemma's parents noticed trouble first thing in the morning.
:11:41. > :11:46.By six o'clock at night, so many sick children, they once again
:11:47. > :11:53.brought in mobile K units to help with overflow.
:11:54. > :11:57.If you are a parent, there are two crucial things you need to do. If
:11:58. > :12:01.your child has any trouble breathing, take them to a doctor.
:12:02. > :12:08.This is contagious. Washing your hands is the best way to stay safe.
:12:09. > :12:12.We are going to turn around the world tonight to south Africa.
:12:13. > :12:15.Judgement day for Oscar Pistorius, on trial for the murder of his
:12:16. > :12:20.girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Tears running down his face as he learned
:12:21. > :12:24.he would not be convicted of murder. But his fate on a surcharge still
:12:25. > :12:30.hangs in the balance. `` a lesser charge. For four hours
:12:31. > :12:33.they hung on her every word. Oscar Pistorius sobbing in court, the
:12:34. > :12:43.judge exonerated him of murder. The family of the girlfriend he
:12:44. > :12:49.killed leaning forward, but all of them left
:12:50. > :12:59.the judge hinting that she will convicted of a much lesser charge.
:13:00. > :13:00.The judge said the prosecution's evidence was circumstantial and
:13:01. > :13:05.called his explanation of the shooting baffling. Still, he was
:13:06. > :13:18.striding out of court looking more confident. And hearing cheers for
:13:19. > :13:21.the first time in months. And even if the judge decides to convicting
:13:22. > :13:27.tomorrow on top homicide and those three other charges, because those
:13:28. > :13:31.charges do not come with any minimum sentences it is very possible he
:13:32. > :13:39.might never spend a single night in prison.
:13:40. > :13:43.There is still much more ahead. We are inside a car as police pull over
:13:44. > :13:47.this driver. Authorities say it is not drink driving. They say it is
:13:48. > :13:52.something else. The new and frightening dangers on the roads.
:13:53. > :13:57.Also, the dramatic pictures inside a casino. A pickup truck crashing
:13:58. > :14:02.through the glass doors. And take a look at this. What is wrong with
:14:03. > :14:05.this statue? Something very wrong. And the one person, the one person
:14:06. > :15:20.who discovered it. Next night, what authorities called
:15:21. > :15:26.the new driving danger next to you on the road. A different kind of
:15:27. > :15:35.driver. Colorado and Washington legalising recreational marijuana.
:15:36. > :15:43.There is a new concern on the roads. It is the new challenge for cops
:15:44. > :15:51.patrolling Colorado's highways. Drivers getting behind the wheel
:15:52. > :15:56.stoned. You are driving all over the place. How much marijuana have you
:15:57. > :16:00.smoked? Police say the signs of drunk driving can be obvious. But
:16:01. > :16:14.judging marijuana empowerment is tougher. Police are at relying on
:16:15. > :16:18.standard roadside tests. There is no breathalyser test, and results from
:16:19. > :16:22.drawing blood can take weeks. Experts say seasoned users are less
:16:23. > :16:28.imperative was more in their blood. And new users are going to be more
:16:29. > :16:32.imperative was less in their blood. Colorado State troopers have written
:16:33. > :16:37.nearly 230 citations for driving high. Compared to over 3100 for
:16:38. > :16:42.alcohol. People need to know that it is a significant problem. This
:16:43. > :16:45.doctor and colleagues found that as marijuana has become widely
:16:46. > :16:51.available in Colorado, the number of drivers testing positive after fatal
:16:52. > :16:53.crashes doubled. This woman is recovering from serious injuries
:16:54. > :16:59.after she was hit by a driver police say was high. It makes me upset.
:17:00. > :17:03.They do not realise it does affect them. Different studies disagree on
:17:04. > :17:13.whether stoned the drivers are actually causing more crashes. This
:17:14. > :17:19.driver failed his roadside test. And now could be headed for a different
:17:20. > :17:26.kind of joint. Our instant index. A dramatic moment
:17:27. > :17:32.on the Las Vegas strip. Eight truck crashing through the windows.
:17:33. > :17:38.And we know he has got game, but he apparently has a sense of humour.
:17:39. > :17:42.Jeremy Lin, his wax figure unveiled. So real, but watch. It is really
:17:43. > :17:52.him. A practical joke, stifling the fans. Nobody realised until Mum
:17:53. > :17:54.showed up. And a sign of the resiliency of this country after
:17:55. > :17:58.9/11. What do you see when you look up in
:17:59. > :18:02.the sky? When you visit New York City at this time of year, it is
:18:03. > :18:06.unmistakable. You can see the new one World Trade
:18:07. > :18:10.Center. But when you look to the sky, there is something else you can
:18:11. > :18:16.see. Those beams of light helping to fill the void. That tribute in late
:18:17. > :18:23.first started six months after the attacks. Returning every September
:18:24. > :18:30.since. Here is how they do it. 88 searchlights, 7000 watts each.
:18:31. > :18:34.Creating two vertical columns of light rising for miles into the sky.
:18:35. > :18:40.And on a clear night, visible from 60 miles away. Scientist say the
:18:41. > :18:46.searchlights are the strongest beams of light ever projected from the
:18:47. > :18:52.interview night sky. You are sending us your photographs. And from
:18:53. > :18:59.overnight, the moon and the American flanks. Helping us to remember.
:19:00. > :19:03.A moving site on the night when we all remember. I hope to see you
:19:04. > :19:15.tomorrow night. Good morning. Signs of a fuchsia
:19:16. > :19:19.hours as we go into next week. Up until then, high pressure is going
:19:20. > :19:24.to remain in charge. Another dry day to come on Friday. Some decent
:19:25. > :19:25.spells of sunshine. A cold start once
