Then a second train plows right into her. How she walked away. And good morning, america, on this columbus day. Boy, a scary start to columbus over at l. A. International airport. Turns some kind of Chemical Reaction with dry ice in a bathroom. Authorities calling it a prank and josh will have a lot more on that in a moment. A prank that nobody is laughing about. We begin with the clock ticking down now to midnight thursday, when the u. S. Faces the prospect of defaulting on its loans, a moment we have never seen before. Theres capitol hill. Well work to come up with a deal that wont start again until 2 00 today. After a weekend filled with anxiety and anger. See the protesters at the Lincoln Memorial. They walked right in anyway. Some states are acting on their own to open national parks. See the statue of liberty right there, it will be open sunday. Well have reports from washington and wall street. Jon karl starts us off from the white house right now. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. Times running out. But theres no visible sign of progress anywhere. The democrats and republicans took the lead on negotiations over the weekend but only had two brief conversations but didnt appear to accomplish anything. To the stairs. Lets go reporter a group of veterans calling themselves the million vet march created tension in washington when they took it upon themselves to reopen the Lincoln Memorial. How many want to go over to the white house . Reporter they took the barricades on a milelong march to the white house where they briefly clashed with police. [ chanting ] all you work for us you work for us reporter it was quieter inside the capitol where a rare sunday session of the senate began with an admonishment from the chaplain, who, in an opening prayer, urged god to help the senators in turning the stubbornness of impossibilities into the blessings of creative possibilities. Reporter but the senate adjourned without ending the impasse. The Senate Stands adjourned. Reporter democratic and Republican Leaders are still fighting over the basic, how long a potential deal should be and at what level the government should be funded. The differences have narrowed, though. Republicans have dropped all their big demands, including major changes to obama care. Were in a freefall as republicans, but democrats are not far behind. Reporter the lack of any apparent urgency around here is just plain bizarre. There is nothing scheduled at the white house. The senate doesnt come back in session until 2 00 this afternoon, and there are no meetings scheduled at least not yet between the two major players. If theyre able to reach a deal to put off the crisis, its likely to put it off for only a few weeks or months. At the extension of the debt limit and government shutdown. Thats right. At this point, theyre looking for a shortterm solution. The president had been asking for something that would get us past the Holiday Shopping season. But it looks like at least for now, those talks have deadlocked. Whatever happens will only postpone this problem, probably for a matter of weeks. Not even meetings scheduled for today. Wall street is bracing for the worst this morning. With no deal in sight. How will the markets react . It could be an ugly day for your 401 k . Rebecca jarvis is live on the floor of the stock exchange. Theyre getting ready for a wild ride, i month would imagine today. Good morning, rebecca. Reporter the stocks are already pointing lower for the day here on wall street. The International Monetary fund saying this could be catastrophic. They are now forecasting dire consequences across the globe if the u. S. Were to default on it. Thats clearly something that would have consequences for everyone in these untested waters. Three levels of economic debt is a decision is not reached. First Retirement Savings and loans. Wall street traders forecasting catastrophe. A rapidly spreading domino effect starting with the dow plunging, 500 even 6 a0 points. Plus loans are going to be more expensive and difficult to get. Anything from buying a home to a car costs more. Second, our confidence. Already shaken by the shutdown, Consumer Sentiment at a ninemonth low. The more unsettled consumers feel, the less we spend. Which means a not so happy holiday for retailers, and could cost the country jobs. Last, our benefits. After thursday, the government has money to pay just twothirds of its bills. Thats 106 billion short of its 328 billion in commitments, which could put timely payments to social security, medicare, and veterans at risk. Traders preparing themselves for all of this volatility, getting their positions readily and that has consequences and influence for every Single Person in our country, robin . Well be watching. Even though its a holiday, markets are open. Now to the huge party boat that capsized near miami. Sending dozens into the biscayne bay. It took a team effort to help everyone escape. With nearby boaters rushing to the rescue. Matt gutman is in key biscayne with the latest. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, george. Officials overnight told us this had all the ingredients of a disaster. That boat still stuck somewhere in the bay behind me was homemade. Packed with too many partiers. Too much booze. And too few lifejackets. This morning, investigators are questioning the unlicensed captain of this homemade houseboat that allegedly packed 30 passengers and a dog for a day at sea. Soon, the 45foot party boat thronged with College Students and several groups of friends, starting listing and taking on water. A couple of people were holding on to coolers and other stuff. And there were some people on top of the boat, still. Reporter you see the boat submerged. And the partiyers, in the city for the boozy columbus Day Festivities, tipped into the water. Good samaritans fished passengers from the water. As soon as we get there, we see 25, 30 people in the water. Just started plucking them out as fast as we could. Reporter then they help them and this black lab, likely the only passenger not partying, onto a coast guard boat. The dog was pan iing, swimming in circles, and one of my buddies, grabbed him and brought him to the back of my boat and we dragged him in. Reporter once back on dry land, this group of partiers including that guy with his trusty kids floatty, seemed in high spirits. Authorities quoted passengers as saying they had each paid about 20 for the trip. Law enforcement officials are investigating whether or not the overcrowding may have lead to the sinking. Now the columbus Day Festivities in the past have been deadly. Officials tell us it was a miracle that nobody was hurt. George . Boy, 20 a trip. No bargain. Lets get the other top stories from josh. Starting with the scare in l. A. A prank that was just not funny, as you mentioned, robin. It began at l. A. X. A security scare for one of the nations busiest airports. A small explosion in terminal 2 at Los Angeles International forcing authorities to ground all flights last night. It turns out it was dry ice in a plastic bottle placed in an employees bathroom that is off limits to passengers. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Flights have now resumed this morning while the fbi attempts to figure out just who was behind an apparent prank gone horribly awry. Also, breaking overnight relief for hundreds of thousands of mark commuters. A possible transit strike for San Francisco avoided for another day. Both sides agreed to allow one more day of talks to ensue the the union said to be demanding a 12 pay raise over 3 years. Management is countering that with 10 over 4 years. There is some middle ground to be had. And a dramatic scene in utah to show you. Police pursuing a car when the driver drove on to the Railroad Tracks. An officer trying to break the window to get the driver out, but then, watch as another train comes into view and slams into her car. Whoa. We should tell you the woman survived. Suffered only a broken arm. In fact was able to walk away. Again, avoid Railroad Tracks at all costs. And a remarkable story of survival to show you. A 72yearold hiker from San Francisco has been found alive. 18 days after getting lost in the wild. Gene penaflor, you see him giving a thumbsup from the hospital bed. He slipped and lost consciousness in mend doe seen know National Forest on september 24th. When he awoke, it was foggy, he was disoriented. He survived. He ate squirrels, berries, covered himself with leaves to stay warm until a group of hunters found him saturday and carried him out of the woods. Hes expected to make a recovery. And overseas, the red cross said three of the six aid workers abducted in Northern Syria have been released and are safe. They were kidnapped in a lawless region controlled by rebels. No word on the fate of the other three workers. A chaotic scene. A park in eastern china, a footbridge there loaded with people collapses. They plunge into the water. Despite the panic that ensued, only ten people were hurt. And, good news here, they are all going to be okay. As will anybody hailing from the Greater Boston area this morning. Take a look. The red sox last night, down 51 in the eighth. Two were out. Three were on. And there she goes. Watch torii hunter of the tigers flip over the railing trying to bring back a grand slam that would tie the game. The sox ended up winning it, a walkoff number. 65, boston. Take a look. Getting all the attention this morning, bostons finest. That is a Police Officer in the bull pen exulting in a way rather reminiscent of torii hunter. Who can blame him . It was a big day there in the Greater Boston area. All of that happened, robin go ahead. After tom brady yes. Somehow brought the patriots back to beat your new orleans saints. Ah, to be from boston today. Boston really strong today, i tell you. They are. Okay, your daughters are out, too. Pay back. All right, all right, all right. Now to the ranch for troubled teams under investigation for child abuse. An amber alert went out this weekend when nine children who lived there seemed to be missing. State officials have been trading accusations with the ranch owner about what happened and abcs clayton sandal has the latest from the scene in new mexico. Good morning, clayton. Reporter good morning, robin. I wanted to show you the gates here at the ranch this morning are padlocked and now there are new questions for the owners about where all these teens were when investigators came to find them. Overnight, police say all nine teenagers they believed had been abducted are now safe. But this ranch for troubled kids has new trouble of its own. The new Mexico State Police went ahead and canceled the amber alert. Reporter that alert issued friday after investigators showed up at the 30,000 acre ranch in new mexico, looking into allegations that teens sent here for a fresh start in life are being abused. When police arrived, nine teenage boys and ranch overer, Scott Chandler, were missing. When you show up and everybody is gone, huge in court comments, teens were handcuffed, forced to wear hoods as punishment falsely imprisoned, and handcuffed. And neglected. We want to make sure were able to interview each of the children to make a determination of how they were treated while they were at the ranch. Reporter the ranch says claims of abuse were not founded. And they have their defenders. Jessica spent two years here when she was 14. I never witnessed any kind of abuse. Maybe they had to get stern. But, i never saw any kind of force. Physical abuse or anything like that. Reporter ranch owner Scott Chandler has filed his own lawsuit calling the state investigation illegal. A witch hunt prompted by the death of an 18yearold man killed last month when a ranch pickup truck rolled over. The ranch accuses the state of intimidating parents to pull their kids out of what they call a Successful Program to turn kids lives around. New, the ranch said the kids were never in danger and they werent here because they were on a longplanned camping trip. Next up, a series of court hearings. A judge and attorneys will try to sort out who is telling the truth. George . It is a lot to sort out. Okay. Clayton, thanks very much. To a major health scare for the nfl. A third player on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been diagnosed with a mrsa infection which can be fatal. Abcs lynn say davis is here with the story. Good morning. Good morning, george. Some people doing monday morning quarterbacking, as far as the mrsa and the impact it had on the team. At least one member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers admitted after last nights loss, that the staph infection has been a big distraction. After a tough loss to the philadelphia eagles. The tampa bay buck hecaneers ar facing a more formidable foe this morning. Mrsa is stalking the teams locker room, tackling three of the teams players including offensive guard karl nicks, and place kicker lawrence tynes. Sidelining both of them for the game. But Jonathan Banks the latest player to be infected suited up. Doctors decided hes not at risk for spreading the staph inspection. Based on my observations, i didnt think there was anything high risk. Football are particularly susceptible. Football players 16 times higher than the national average. Over the past decade, 32 teams have been hit by the virus. Participants in Contact Sports of all kinds should take mrsa infections seriously because it can affect the players with relatively minor skin infections. Reporter mrsa is a potentially deadly infection that often invades the body through an open cut or wound. It can spread and infect vital organs leading to toxic shock and flesheating pneumonia. Players seem more concerned with the field than the locker room. We have to focus on the task at hand. Reporter the bigger fear may be the repercussions of a winless season. Its believed there were two different strains of the disease present in the bucs locker room. The team has had it sanitized several times since the original out break to try to keep it spreading from additional players. Banks did make five tackles yesterday, so hopefully hes on the mend. And the whole team as well. Its been a rough year for them. Now to the mysterious and elusive street artist known as banksy. His graffiti creations have sold for millions of dollars if you can find them. A few lucky people realized he was selling his work for, oh, 60 a pop on the streets of new york city. Linzie janis has the story. Reporter a french painter once said art is not what you see but what you make others see. And that was certainly the case in new yorks central park where this stall popped up, selling what appears to be stencil art, knockoffs from the famed british street artist, banksy. These have to be knockoffs since theyre priced at 60. Banksys original works go for upwards of 20,000 per stencil. Imagine how much more interested these passersby if they just took time to see, that these are indeed original works from the artist himself, signed, one even with his phone number. Banksy, who appeared in the 2010 oscarnominated documentary about his life, has never let anyone see his face. Street art has a short lifespan. So it needed documented. Reporter the sale began at 11 30 a. M. It wasnt until four hours later they found a buyer. A woman negotiated half off. The 60 price tag. 30 minutes later, a new Zealand Woman buys two. And an hour and a half after that, a man who says he needs something for his walls, walks off with four more. For the shopper, impulse buys that promised to reap rewards for a long time to come. They could be worth tens of thousands of dollars. A pretty good return on investment. The british graartist has been new york since the start of this month. Hes created more than ten pieces of his art on wall, streets, even cars. Many of them already defaced or painted over. So new york is not sending him too much love. Wow. Which spot do we go to .

Yeah, really, really surprising. And you may be talking about this already, were going to add to the discussion, big hollywood news, charlie hunnam, cast in the lead of the muchanticipated fifty shades of grey and then the discussion of him in the lead, why he really dropped out. And the big names that are in the running that keep this story going. Its got legs. Thats for sure. But first, in this half hour the stunning new developments in the Madeleine Mccann investigation. Police are releasing new digital images in a major televised appeal. Lama hasan is in the portuguese village where maddy was last seen. Good morning, lama. Reporter and good morning to you, robin. Well, were standing in front of ed apartment where Madeleine Mccann went missing six years ago, and this morning a Big Development in the case with Scotland Yard releasing brandnew images of a person of interest which is also making frontpage headlines here. This morning dramatic details in the search for Madeleine Mccann. Scotland yard released never before seen computergenerated images of the man police say was shawn the night on the night maddy disappeared. He was carrying a child with blond hair and pajamas, heading towards the beach minutes from the apartment where the mccanns were staying. Detectives said he was seen around the resort and identifying him is one of the main priorities of the investigation. Maddys parents are launching a new appeal on americas most wanted tonight. The show will feature a reenactment on the detailed sequence of events the night she went missing, including this scene showing actors playing her parents, leaving the vacation apartment for dinner at a restaurant 100 yards away, leaving maddy and her brother alone. Im not the one that did something wrong. Its the one that took a little girl away from her family. Reporter happened at that point is the crucial time of this investigation. We know 8 30 mr. And mrs. Mccann went down for their dinner and we know round 10 00 p. M. , that was when mrs. Mccann found that madeleine was missing. One theory is maddy may have been taken from this apartment window where the mccanns were staying. Her parents had left it closed but when kate came back to check up on the kids, they found the window and the shutters open. More an six years p since she disappeared while on vacation n portugal, locals are not following the case. Theyre reporter well, this portuguese vacation resort is popular among so been europeans, the mccanns will take their case to germany and holland as well. Robin. They are definitely not giving up. All right, lama, thank you. Brad garrett has been following this case very closely. Hes with us this morning. The new digital images that are being released, what do you make of that . I think theyre potentially crucial. A number of individuals said they saw a person carrying a child away from the resort. Theyve never identified that person. I think him and other people can give them potential leads. When you tighten up the time line, other people may come forward and say, i saw that. New leads is the short answer. You can jog someones memory after all this time. Also the release of the reenactment. It will be played in great part in that special in britain. That is fascinating and so powerful, dont you think . It draws us back into the case. Again, the key is new leads. As people watch this and go, you know, ive got a neighbor, he kind of looks like this guy that theyre looking for. This is such an intriguing story. And, you know, the heartstrings of a missing little girl pull so many people. So, there are a lot of leads out there that the police just dont have yet. You talk about heartstrings. Theyre releasing home video of the family playing tennis. Maddy is a little ball girl. Its to remind us, isnt it . Thats the emotional hook. It humanizes this beautiful little girl with her parents. That touches people like maybe a relative of the bad guy, maybe an exwife. Somebody that would come forward. And provide that critical lead that will end this case. You know, brad, there are some people that are going to spend so much time, so much time has passed. What really can happen . Who really can come forward after all this time . Time doesnt matter. I have worked a number of cold cases. 20 years later. Its going back and consistently talking to the public. It will come back to them. I think this may work. When you think about the women in cleveland, jaycee dugard, elizabeth smart, it goes on and on. You understand why the parents are holding on and not giving up hope. Exactly. Brad, thanks so much. We turn to the dramatic rescue of the woman there dangling high in the air from an open drawbridge. It all turned out all right. How did she get there in the first place . Abcs gio benitez has the story. Oh, my god. Reporter watch closely. In the pink shirt. A woman in her 50s holding on. Trapped on a railroad drawbridge. She had just finished a charity walk in ft. Lauderdale. Oh, my gosh, shes stuck up there. Reporter below her, a river. And any sudden move can send her right into it. The woman telling abc news she used to take rock climbing classes, which she used saturday. They were telling her to hold on. Not to jump. Not to lock her knees. Reporter eye witnesses said she began crossing the bridge while warning sirens rang. Before she could make it across, the bridge began to rise. As the bridge began to rise, the woman pressed her back against it, clinging for dear life. Really upsetting. Oh, god. People were crying, people were really concerned. Reporter she wasnt supposed to be on the tracks. Her son telling us shes legally blind and couldnt see the no trespassing signs. The bridge operator couldnt see her, because that person works 400 miles away. The bridge is operated remotely from tallahassee. This woman, who police havent named, held on long enough for firefighters to save her life. With a 24foot ladder. People below cheering her on. 20 minutes, and completely unhurt.

Chronic back pain kept her from every day duties like cooking and cleaning for her family. Its a gnawing, sometimes burning, sometimes stabbing. It could stop me in my tracks. Reporter maria and a slew of doctors tried everything. I saw more than 27 specialists. I must have done physical therapy six separate times. I had tried wholistic accupuncture. When her back pain turned her arm cold and blue, she was forced the give up her job. The pain finally controlled me. Reporter she saw a doctor that suggested a spinal cord stimulater designed to send electrical pulses to the spinal cord. They interfere with the nerve pulses that give you pain.

They say exercise and cognitive therapy could be a better source of relief in the long run. We heard from a maker of the device who said spinel cord stimulation is a proven approach.
