So happy to be here. Its going to be hard to top han and chewy. But we know youre up for that. Thank you, cheryl. Were going to start here though with some breaking news overnight. Yet another Football Player from one of the top teams in the country in deep trouble. This morning running back dalvin cook from the Florida State seminoles has been accused of punching a woman in the face outside a bar and it comes on the heels of the Team Quarterback seen on Surveillance Video punching another woman at a different bar. And espns Lindsey Czarniak is here with the very latest on the story. Good morning, lindsey. Good morning, paula. This latest incident involves one of Florida States biggest differencemakers on the football field, but after turning himself in to police last night, its really uncertain now what his future as a star running back holds. This morning, star Florida State Football Player dalvin cook in jail for battery, the second seminole arrested for a Violent Crime in less than a month. Dalvin cook running. Reporter fsu president John Thrasher releasing a statement supporting the immediate and indefinite suspension of cook. The 2014 breakout star allegedly attacking a woman outside a bar. Witnesses say the player was initially trying to defuse a drunken disagreement between the woman and an unidentified man. The next thing we know, dalvin cook just punched her in the face. Reporter cook allegedly hitting the victim multiple times knocking her into a parked car leaving her dirty and bleeding. Cook claiming to have no recollection of the event. And shes willing to testify, and i felt pretty confident that she will become a good witness. Reporter this is the third player for the team to be accused of attacking women. In june former quarterback Deandre Johnson charged with battery caught on tape punching this woman in the face. Johnson swiftly dismissed from the team. In 2012 seminole turned number one nfl draft pick Jameis Winston accused of raping a woman. The player never charged later filing a countersuit. I knew i did nothing wrong. Thats why i knew that i could respect the process and i would eventually be vindicated. Reporter coach jimbo fisher releasing a statement following the most recent incident saying i do not tolerate this type of behavior and remain committed to educating our young men and holding them accountable for their actions. Jimbo has also been asked by the president to talk to his team. This is not the first time dalvin cook has been in trouble. He was also investigated as an associate in an aggravated assault back in 2014. Guys. But just another blemish for that football program. Lindsey, good to have you here. Tough run, thank you. New worries this morning about the dangers of drones. One of them apparently came way too close to a plane that was about to land. The pilot radioing air traffic control, and abcs Mara Schiavocampo is here with more. Mara, good morning. Reporter dan, good morning. That remote controlled drone flying thousands of feet in the air way too close to that plane causing a really tense period of concern just moments before landing. This morning, the federal Aviation Administration investigating a close call for a us airways flight. A pilot spotting a drone right in the aircrafts path as he prepared to land at Charlotte Douglas airport wednesday. It was about 2,100 feet deep and it was just off our left side and maybe 100 feet away. Reporter the remoted controlled quadrocopter violating the ban and hovering 2100 feet in the air. Its really scary. They shouldnt be anywhere near an airport. Reporter this isnt the first near miss at Charlotte Douglas. Faa records showing in july of last year a passenger jet on approach when the pilot reported a black and white drone buzzing just 100 feet below him. The reason we dont want a drone anywhere close to commercial airliners is because of the possibility of one being ingested in an engine and doing a tremendous amount of damage. Reporter and at new Yorks Laguardia airport in may a drone soaring at nearly 3,000 feet over a Brooklyn Park forcing a delta shuttle pilot to pull the plane up 200 feet to avoid hitting it. You have some people who just regardless of what rules are out there theyre going to do what they want to do. Reporter now that plane landed without further incident and no one was injured. Now, the faa does have a number of regulations regarding drones including not flying near any manned aircraft or even within sight of the operator. We seem to be hearing about these more and more these days. And i suspect were going to continue to hear about it. Not going away. Mara, appreciate it. And now to the fbi making a bombshell admission that the agencys background check system failed and the suspect accused of killing nine at that Historic Black Church in South Carolina never should have been able to buy a gun. That massacre led to this historic scene, however, the Confederate Flag being taken down from outside the State Capitol where it has waved for more than a half century, and abcs phillip mena is there in columbia with the story. Good morning, phillip. Reporter paula, good morning. The Confederate Flag no longer flying behind me in part because of a movement sparked by the tragedy in charleston. Now were learning what the fbi could have done to prevent it. This morning, the fbi admitting its background check system failed saying confessed killer dylann roof should not have been allowed to buy the gun allegedly used to shoot and kill nine people inside a charleston church. Brandon rishers grandmother, ethel lance, among those killed. Having an admission is one thing, but it doesnt dry up any of my tears or any of my concerns. If anything, it infuriates me even more. Reporter the fateful chain of events beginning on saturday, april 11th. Roof goes to buy a handgun at this South Carolina gun store. Because its the weekend the fbi wouldnt begin the required criminal background check until monday, april 13th when an fbi examiner learns roof was arrested on drug charges, but theyre not able to reach the arresting Police Department and the fbi is unaware that roof had allegedly admitted to the crime, a crucial fact that should have prevented him from getting the gun. By law the fbi has three days to stop a gun sale. On april 16th with no word from the fbi, dylann roof is sold the the 45 caliber glock and two months later nine africanamerican worshippers are shot dead at charlestons emanuel ame church. Fbi director james comey now saying we wish we could turn back time. The fbis painful admission coming down just hours after the Confederate Flag did. The result of a heated debate sparked by the shooting in charleston. The polarizing symbol no longer flying at the State Capitol in South Carolina. It wasnt just about heritage, it was about hate. Reporter the president tweeting the removal is a signal of good will and healing and a meaningful step towards a better future, a future forged through tragedy. My grandmother and eight other victims are able to look at that and say, i was able to evoke change. Reporter the Confederate Flag that flew here for 50 years will eventually be displayed in a local museum. Meantime, the fbi is now ordering a review of its protocol. Paula, dan. Phillip, thank you. History being made in South Carolina. Many other states continue to fight this battle, as well. Thank you again. Were going to turn now to Ron Claiborne who has a look at the other developing this morning including jail time for this cancer doctor in michigan. That is right, good morning to you, dan and paula. Rachel, good morning to you. Good morning, everyone. It was judgment day for that michigan doctor who intentionally misdiagnosed hundreds of patients and had them undergo cancer treatments that they did not need. On friday a federal court judge sentenced dr. Farid fata to 45 years behind bars. Fata pleaded guilty to charges that he ordered chemotherapy for more than 500 healthy patients which made them sick or terminally ill patients who couldnt be helped by the treatment. And in texas, new video that surfaced this morning of the deadly biker shootout in waco, texas. This video is from a restaurant next door to the twin peaks bar. The shooting took place in may and it shows people fleeing in panic moments before Police Officers arrived with their guns drawn. Nine people were killed in the incident, 18 others were wounded. 170 people were arrested in connection with that shooting. And Donald Trumps president ial bid appears to be gaining momentum in the wake of his comments about mexican immigrants. A huge crowd is expected when he appears at a rally in phoenix in arizona later today. Organizers had to move a rally in support of trump to the citys Convention Center after interest in that appearance swelled. Antitrump protesters expected to show up outside todays event. And turning overseas now to a deadly explosion overnight in egypt, the huge blast happened early saturday outside the italian consulate in the capital city of cairo. One person was killed. Four others injured. An italian diplomat says the consulate was closed at the time and no Staff Members were hurt in that explosion. And back here at home, a surge in gas prices out west. Right now, the average price for a gallon of regular in california is 3. 58. That is up 14 cents in just a week. That is a stark contrast to gas prices nationwide, which are Holding Steady an average of 2. 76 a gallon for regular. Lower inventory following the exxonmobil refinery explosion this spring in california may be to blame for the prices out there going so high so fast. Gasbuddy. Com is also predicting that prices in the west could climb another 30 cents in the next week. Keep an eye on that, rachel. Yeah, absolutely. And finally, los angeles is known, of course, for traffic backups, but heres a twist. One driver backing up as in driving backwards. Watch this, a stunned motorist capturing this on his cell phone. The driver of the audi zipping in reverse along Laurel Canyon boulevard rachel, you know it well known for its windy roads as oncoming cars whiz by and the reckless driver we dont have to say allegedly, do we . No. We have video evidence. Crossing over the double yellow lines many times for more than two miles. Two miles he drove like that . Yeah, just like that. Wow im kind of impressed by that actually. You know, it is really impressive. But the police are not impressed. They have only to go on the dealer plates and they are contacting the dealership to find out who that person is. That persons going to pay a price for that. And now that weve expressed how impressed we are, were going to be charged as accessories. Yeah. Exactly. Thanks for that one. Glad he had a camera. I mean that would be even more impressive. Dont try that, rachel. Its hard enough driving forward on that road. Fair enough. Ive driven that road, as well. Were going to move on now. Weve been hearing from the sisters who managed to survive for days in the wilderness of wyoming. There they are. There was a massive search and rescue set in motion after these sisters went missing, and were going to get their story now from abcs clayton sandell. Reporter Three Sisters missing for days now speaking out. How thankful we are for the whole search and rescue team and all the volunteers. Reporter megan andrewssharer and her sisters erin and kelsi say they knew they were lost. Realized we werent where we wanted to be and called it quits. Reporter staying in one place skipping meals to make their food last longer. Im not sure we wish we had anything except ten days of food which we didnt expect that we needed. The car is there. Reporter when the trio became overdue from their camping trip into this remote wyoming back country, search and rescue teams jumped into action. The sisters waiting and praying. Thats the only thing that can keep you sane in the wilderness for six days not knowing whats going on in the other end looking for signs and Little Things like a rainbow to show you that, you know, gods really taking care of you. Reporter thanks to two cowboys who spotted the women on a distant ridge and phoned it in. Always helping someone out in a time like that, that always makes you feel good. Reporter rescuers finally arrived thursday by air. When i saw the sight as we landed in the helicopter, i realized that there was no way people were going to give up on the search, and that was something that, you know, crossed my mind a couple of times. Reporter but before their next camping trip, their father has some advice. Tell us where youre going. That would be really helpful. Reporter for Good Morning America, clayton sandell, abc news, jackson hole, wyoming. What a remarkable story. We want to turn now to a horrific crash that is raising new concerns about your safety on the road and on the rails. This collision, which was all caught on dash cam, taking place right before the drivers eyes saying he was shocked to see those Railroad Crossing gates, well, they never went down, and the train pummeled into that truck. Abcs mary bruce is in queens, new york, this morning where that frightening crash took place. Good morning, mary. Reporter hey, paula, good morning. This is a busy crossing. In fact, in just the last decade, there have been more than a dozen accidents here, the latest one, almost unimaginable. A terrifying collision on the track. I thought it was going to be big explosion. Reporter caught on dash cam video, a Freight Train slamming into a tractor trailer early wednesday morning in queens, new york. Look closely, the rail guard arms are up. And those warning lights dont come on until just seconds before the train plows through the crossing and into the big rig. The truck driver with the dash cam witnessed the horrifying moment. You can see clearly the gate was up. All signal lights, they were not working. Reporter but this isnt the first time weve seen these dangerous lapses. Emergency, struck a vehicle right there at the metro. Reporter last month in jacksonville, florida, this car was split in half by a passenger train after the safety gates failed to drop. When i turned around the back of the car wasnt there. Reporter and in march there were no gates in place at this kentucky crossing to stop this driver from getting into a fatal crash. We have four patients, be advised theyre all critical. Reporter with only 36 of Public Railway crossings equipped with safety gates, experts say drivers also need to be more alert. The message is that we have driver issues and we need education. We need awareness at crossings. Reporter its hard to believe but amazingly this driver had only minor injuries and the train engineers were unharmed. Other Truck Drivers tell us near misses here are frequent and that these gates often dont come down. Investigators of this latest crash are now looking into these signals. Dan and paula. But the good news there, nobody seriously hurt. We really appreciate your reporting this morning. Mary, thank you. And were going to make a turn now to a much happier story. In the words of our good friend Robin Roberts, new york citys canyon of heroes was transformed into the canyon of heroines. Yes, and it was a beautiful sight.

You know how to throw a party yes, its one nation, yes, its one team but that team is here with us in new york city today.

Reporter and the team that created the nation of believers taking the stage for the celebration. The reason why we won this world cup is because none of us ever stopped believing and neither should you guys. Reporter a well deserved ceremony 129 years in the making. The world cup was a dream come true but having this parade here in new york city was one of the best moments of my entire life and we all feel the same. Those women are so cool and it must have been great for you as the mom of a young girl to be able to see these role models right there. I actually didnt tell her that i was going and i got home and she watched it on tv and said, mommy, why didnt you take me . Why didnt you take her . I was running around.
