>> announcer: this is "nbc nightly news" with brian williams, reporting tonight from ferguson, missouri. and good evening, on a cold night here in ferguson, missouri. the epicenter of it all last night. it was along this very stretch of roadway that the finding of a grand jury was converted to violence that raged here last night. and make no mistake, it was urban combat. there are still shell casings here underfoot. a police commander said last night that first volley of tear gas they fired was because officers encounter so many guns within the crowd, they were worried they may not make it out of there. some of the protesters then turned to forcible entry, then the looting and the fires started. cars and businesses mostly. 25 structures torched in all. 82 arrests were made last night. all of it because a grand jury did not return an indictment against the white police officer who shot and killed michael brown, an unarmed black teenager. there were protests in other cities as well, but nothing like this. and tonight we know more about the grand jury proceeding and the toll from what happened here. even as right now ferguson police are gearing up to protect their headquarters should there be more violence. we begin our coverage here with nbc's miguel almaguer. >> reporter: on several city blocks across this city and including this block right here, you can smell smoke in the air. many buildings are still smoldering tonight. the street behind me, this neighborhood has been shut down. police not allowing the public in because they're concerned what buildings haven't been looted will be attacked tonight. protesters say they are ready. police are also braced for conflict. tonight in ferguson, the cleanup. >> hope it don't happen again tonight. >> reporter: a broken city on edge, bracing for more protests and possibly more violence. crowds spilled into the streets just before 8:00 p.m. last night. tension even before the grand jury's decision became public. >> we determined that no probable cause exists and returned a no true bill on each of the five indictments. >> reporter: the emotion, too much for michael brown's mother. the family had called for peace. but brown's stepfather who later apologized, had a different message. crowds swelled into the hundreds. chaos, destruction steps from police headquarters. the nation watched. president obama urged restraint. >> but i join michael's parents in asking anyone who protests this decision to do so peacefully. >> reporter: violence erupted in the heart of ferguson. so did gunfire. more than 150 shots reported. what we're hearing now is a succession of gunshots one after the other and they're getting closer to this direction where police are barricaded. businesses looted in august were hit again. more than a dozen burned to the ground. some owners with a window to the violence refused to leave. >> i'm just here protecting the property, you know. it's a shame. it really is, on both sides. >> reporter: police cruisers were torched. dozens arrested. >> sir, i didn't do anything. >> our community has to take responsibility for what happened tonight. for what happened tonight as far as tearing our community apart. >> reporter: there were demonstrations and arrests across the country. hundreds marched in chicago. in california, freeways were shut down. while in new york, the police commissioner splattered with fake blood, called for restraint. today -- >> we are mike brown. >> reporter: more protests. the missouri governor announced more backup for police. 2200 national guard troops in the region. a community splintered and one family heartbroken. >> a lot of emotions all over the place. i don't know what to feel. you know. i'm just -- i'm just hurt. i'm empty. >> reporter: tonight police and the national guard are standing by at the ready. protesters say they'll move in. brian, this community bracing again. >> miguel almaguer who was in the thick of it last night. when the prosecutor announced the grand jury's decision last night his office released a trove of documents related to this case. thousands of pages of evidence and testimony to the grand jury with details and claims about the shooting that we had never heard before now. nbc's ron allen was in the courtroom for the announcement and has our report on that tonight. >> reporter: police officer darren wilson in newly released hospital pictures with bruises on his head and face. the images among thousands of court record, hundreds of hours of testimony, forensic reports, witness interviews made public by prosecutors insisting they gave the grand jury every piece of evidence available before it decided not to indict wilson for shooting and killing michael brown. >> there burden was to determine based upon all the evidence if probable cause exists to believe that a crime was committed and that darren wilson is the person who committed that crime. >> reporter: wilson testified for four hours telling grand juries that brown looked like a demon. the officer adding he felt like a 5-year-old holding on the hulk hogan as brown, who was 6'5", 280 pounds grabbed wilson's gun through the window of his police suv. wilson said brown had control of the gun. two shots were fired, one wounding brown's hand. forensic reports say his blood was in the car and on the officer's uniform. documents show most witnesses say brown ran from the car and stopped. brown's family claims he had his hands up to surrender. but witness number ten told the panel he saw brown charging the police officer. legal observers say having officer wilson testify and releasing what are usually guarded grand jury documents to the public are unusual steps. >> the prosecutor who is supposed to be representing the victim provides information that is favorable, useful to the defendant. we didn't have a victim in this case. we had the defendant presented as the victim. >> this process is broken. >> reporter: and the brown family's lawyers, who have insisted there's enough evidence to charge the officer, condemned prosecutors for allowing wilson to appear without being cross-examined. >> where was it vetted -- where was his veracity ever challenged? where was his credibility ever challenged when you watch those four hours that he got to give his speech to this grand jury? >> here's what we know for certain. the grand jury agreed with officer wilson. they believe that the forensic evidence and the witness testimony supported his position that he was reasonably fearful for his life. >> reporter: in a televised interview tonight wilson says that brown threw the first punch. he says that he tried to shoot me with my own gun. i thought i was going to be dead. it was the first time that wilson ever fired his own service revolver. tonight on the street corner, some of the aftermath, ferguson still smoldering, this corner, these buildings reduced to rubble. brian, back to you. >> ron allen about a half mile down the road from us here. ron, thanks. last night in the skies overhead arriving commercial flights were turned away from the st. louis airport due to the threat of stray gunfire into the skies. something we're used to seeing in places like baghdad. and the vests and helmets our personnel brought here are exactly those that we wore in baghdad. this violence was sparked by the widespread feeling that justice wasn't done here. people are asking all day long if there's any other remedy, federal or otherwise, which brings us to our justice correspondent pete williams. and pete, is there any such thing as a do-over in this case? >> no, this can't be undone or redone. the state criminal case is closed. and the way the grand jury was conducted was very unusual because prosecutors don't normally give grand jurors both sides of a case. but the federal government is still investigating the shooting to see if there's enough evidence to prosecute officer wilson for violating michael brown's civil rights. even so, to bring a federal case, the justice department would have to show the police officer used excessive force, willfully, meaning on purpose, with the knowledge that it was wrong. federal prosecutors did bring just such a charge in 1991 against l.a. police officers for beating rodney king. but they had videotape to help prove their case. there's no video of what happened in ferguson. the federal government would, in essence, have to prov that officer wilson did not think he was in danger and that would be very difficult. the family of michael brown could still bring a civil lawsuit against officer wilson, which would have a lower standard of proof than in a criminal case. and the justice department is also investigating the entire ferguson police department, which could lead to court orders changing how it conducts itself. brian. >> pete williams in our d.c. newsroom with that tonight. pete, thanks. all of this terrible violence, of course, is happening during thanksgiving week in our country. and because families are starting to gather, hoping to gather in just two days' time, there is another major story deserving our attention tonight. the winter storm that will climb along the east coast tomorrow and just by doing so, will affect travel nationally. our report on that from nbc's tom costello. >> yeah, i got it. 4107 there, too. >> reporter: at the united airlines command center in chicago, the pressure is on. >> i've got a newark/chicago flight that's coming in through the weather right now. >> reporter: 4600 flights today, 377,000 passengers and a poorly timed storm. >> we've got flexibility, we've got spare aircraft, spare crews. >> reporter: nationwide the system will be tested over the next few days with 5 million of us in the air. starting tomorrow, the military is opening up restricted air space for commercial flights over thanksgiving. >> more highways in the sky that we can move planes through to get people to their destination efficiently. >> reporter: already tonight the major carriers are waiving ticket change fees for passengers trying to avoid the storm. on the ground and in the storm's crosshairs, i-95, that critical artery on the east coast. just as 41 million americans hit the road. >> reporting live through maryland. >> reporter: taking no chances the sands family left a day early through north carolina. >> hopefully we beat the weather and we'll get there safery. >> reporter: outside boston sherry schneider and her family were heading out a day early. >> we changed our flight to leave one day early. >> reporter: if you're traveling, the advice when checking in online provide your e-mail and phone number for updates. this sunday and monday are expected to be among

>> tom costello, national airport in washington. tom, thanks. once again tonight meteorologist janice huff is in the weather center with the update on the reach of this storm. good evening. >> it's already starting down in north florida, jacksonville seeing flooding rains coming down at the rate of three inches an hour. it will stretch up the eastern seaboard in the next 24 hours. that heavy rain band will move up to norfolk, virginia, maybe as much as three to four inches tomorrow morning. then snow begins. through washington, d.c., around new york city, north and west towards boston. some of these areas may receive more than a foot of snow from the berkshires, parts of southern new england and back into the lower hudson valley of new york. safe travels to you and everyone, brian. >> all right, you do the same, janice huff in the weather center, thanks. we'll take a break. still ahead tonight, what it felt in ferguson for those who want to live their life in peace. and some of the day's other news, including sweeping changes from the feds coming soon to a theater near you. e. i've had moderate to severe plaque psoriasis most my life. but that hasn't stopped me from modeling. my doctor told me about stelara®. it helps keep my skin clearer. with only 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses... ... stelara® helps me be in season. stelara® may lower your ability to fight infections and increase your risk of infections. some serious infections require hospitalization. before starting stelara®... ...your doctor should test for tuberculosis. stelara® may increase your risk of cancer. always tell your doctor if you have any sign of infection, have had cancer, or if you develop any new skin growths. do not take stelara® if you are allergic to stelara® or any of its ingredients. alert your doctor of new or worsening problems including headaches, seizures, confusion and vision problems- these may be signs of a rare, potentially fatal brain condition. serious allergic reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you or anyone in your house needs or has recently received a vaccine. in a medical study, most stelara® patients saw at least 75% clearer skin... ...and the majority were rated as cleared or minimal at 12 weeks. stelara® helps keep my skin clearer. ask your doctor about stelara®. ugh... ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i got a prescription for chantix. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don' take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i love myself as a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. introducing... a pm pain reliever that dares to work all the way until... the am. new aleve pm the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. we are back from here in fergus ferguson, missouri, which was last night the scene of so much violence. race is a big issue here. african-americans make up close to 70% of the population, yet they are way more likely to get stopped while behind the wheel, more likely to get searched and the local police department is overwhelmingly white. for the young black men we met at a local church here today, despite being academic and sports standouts, their lives, they say, are marked by perception and fear. they say they now see their responsibility for the future. >> we were watching last night from out east, felt a certain way to us. what's it like to watch that happen? >> it's definitely terrible to see. it's a tragedy. but you know, it's always a way you can bring light to a situation like that. how, just praying. to beat the statistic. >> of the five of you, how many of you feel judged? how many of you feel feared on sight when people see you? >> i do. >> show of hands. how do you think you're viewed by the world, the outside world, versus who you know you are? >> i know i'm a good individual. and i have all intentions on being great and being a good person in life, but sometimes i feel like i'm -- people are scared of us, you know. just off of statistics. it's all stressful. we -- there's a lot of things we do to make a better name for ourself that isn't put in the media rather than, you know what i mean? >> that takes a lot of inner strength, to know you're okay and to also know at the same time you're judged every day for reasons you cannot change. >> and on a level, despite this burden that we're bearing consistently on a daily basis, we're to expect this burden is supposed to be you can be sad, you can be disheartened, angry for a certain period of time. but after a while it's to move on, okay, not to feel those very real human emotions and then when they're expressed in a reactionary way like we saw last night where we're viewed as uncivilized whereas when riots and things like that happen in a different demographic for a different reason, for a sports game, for a college party, it's viewed, oh, those college kids are just doing what they do. but when a group of people feel sincerely that their humanity is being ignored and they respond, then it's viewed as barbaric and savage as opposed to people who are sincerely in a state of hopelessness. >> i guess for the future, we just have to not necessarily forget what happened last night or earlier on in august, but we have to remember what happened but also learn from it and to do it right next time if there is a next time. hopefully there won't be a next time. in order to change the system, we must become the system, and in order to not have police officers profile us, we have to become police officers. or if we don't like the laws that are being made, we have to become congressmen and lawmakers so -- >> a lot of folks here in shock today at what has happened to their town. a lot of it was done by people in this town. our thanks to jarrett, corey, marius, robert and josh. we'll take a break tonight. we're back with the retirement of an american icon after half a century in service. it's more than the driver. it's more

passage of time, in fact. the countdown clock at cape canaveral that so many of us grew up watching in the foreground of all those nasa rocket launches during the manned space program. it was the t-minus clock often followed by "and holding" as the countdown froze with any anomaly. another word we all learned back then. after seeing off every mission since apollo 12 including 135 shuttle
