Steve osunsami is there on the scene in elizabethton, tennessee with the very latest. What a scene behind you, steve. Reporter it is. Good morning to you. You know, the investigators are on the scene this morning trying to figure out how and why this plane slid off the runway. People who live in the area say they could see the fireball for miles. They have the roads blocked off here, and when you look at this, its amazing that anyone walked away from this alive. They just pulled a baby out of there. Its a private jet. Reporter this is the dramatic video this morning of the ball of smoke and fire that nascar legend Dale Earnhardt jr. And his family managed to escape without anyone seriously hurt. People on the ground were shocked as the young family and the pilots ran for their lives from the burning jet. The way they hit with impact, on the bank there and everything, came up on the road, they were very lucky. Reporter in a statement, his spokesman says, i know i speak for everyone here when we say we are so grateful for the outpouring of support. Everyone is doing well enough. Lots of hugs. Lots of prayers to the good lord. The plane took off thursday afternoon from statesville, north carolina, and rolled off the runway and caught fire after landing at the small elizabethton airport. Authorities tell us that five people and a dog were on the jet including earnhardt, his wife amy and their 15monthold daughter. It was earnhardts own jet. They were all alert and oriented but the ems personnel did put dale on a cot and take him to the hospital. I think that was just for precaution.

I want you to look at something coming up on your picture. This is a fence that is wrapped around the bod plane. The plane had to tear through the fence to get to this point. Authorities say the reason why the fireball was so large is because the plane was carrying more than 1,000 gallons of fuel. Cecilia . Just an absolutely incredible scene behind you there, steve. Okay, thank you. We are now going to turn to politics. President trump in New Hampshire overnight telling a packed rally you have no choice but to vote for me. This of course after that unprecedented move, the president pressuring israel not to allow two democratic rivals into that country. Abcs terry moran is in manchester with the latest. Just this morning, news that israel might be reversing course. Give us a reality check here. Reporter not reversing course there, cecilia. Good morning. They are, however, opening the door a little bit and well get to that. President trump lost this state of New Hampshire by a razor thin margin in 2016, just 2700 votes, so hes taking aim at it in 2020, and he was road testing some of his themes last night on a day where as you said he made big news of his president ial clout on the world stage. Overnight, President Trump taking the stage in manchester for a raucous stump speech. At one point, hurling insults at a protester. That guys got a serious weight problem. Go home, start exercising. Reporter he also tried out a message of positivity. Our movement is built on love. Reporter the president talking gun rights. We will always uphold the second amendment. Reporter but he also seemed open to the possibility of background checks for some gun purchasers. Its not the gun that pulls the trigger. Its the Person Holding the gun. Reporter but the president did not directly address how he used his president ial powers to pressure israel into barring two of his political enemies from entering the country. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu denying congresswomen ilhan omar and Rashida Tlaib entry into the country after trump tweeted it would show weakness if they were allowed in. Theyve said some of the worst things ive ever heard about israel so how can israel say, oh, welcome. Reporter omar and tlaib, the first muslim women elected to congress, boycotters of that country, have been targets of trump and his supporters. This morning, israel announcing that tlaib would be allowed into the country only for a humanitarian visit to see her grandmother, but still denying access to omar. Omar saying in a statement, trumps muslim ban is what israel is implementing. This time, against two dually elected members of congress. So as for congresswoman tlaib, israel now she has she can enter israel only on humanitarian grounds. Shes a palestinianamerican. She can visit her grandmother, but israel says she has to keep her mouth shut, and she cant speak her mind on israel or the palestinian territories. A lot of restrictions on that one, terry. There is another big headline this morning that seems to have a lot of people scratching their heads. The president might be interested in buying greenland . Tell us more. Reporter yeah. This is a thing. The president has inquired to aides, even his counsel, what are the possibilities of the u. S. Purchasing or acquiring the island of greenland . It has come up before with previous president s. Dwight eisenhower thought this. Denmark which governs the Foreign Policy of greenland and no go. They say, i hope its a joke. Terry moran, thank you very much. Whit . Now to new developments in the Jeffrey Epstein case. The jail guards on duty the night of his apparent suicide questioned for the first time, and the woman accused of recruiting underaged girls for him reportedly surfacing in los angeles. Abcs linsey davis is here with that story. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you, whit. Speculation has abounded as to the whereabouts of ghislaine maxwell, epsteins former associate and friend whos now listed in at least one lawsuit as a cospear tore. Pictures show as of earlier this week she was in los angeles at an innout burger. For the first time investigators are now questioning the two guards tasked with watching Jeffrey Epstein in the hours before his death. This as were now seeing ghislaine maxwell, accused of being one of epsteins coconspirators. A source tells abc news the autopsy of epstein revealed a broken hyoid bone in his neck which can be associated with strangulation or suicide. According to the new york post, maxwell was spotted at a local inandout restaurant in california and reading a book about cia operatives. Maxwell has been accused by one of epsteins alleged victims of recruiting underaged girls to act as sex slaves for epstein and other men.

The british socialite named as a coconspirator of jennifer araoz, who claims epstein assaulted her when she was just 15 years old, and that maxwell and three other employees helped facilitate his crimes. Although she says she never met maxwell. Jeffrey epstein and his network of enablers stole from me. They ropd bbed me of my youth, my identity, my innocence and my selfworth. Reporter while epsteins cause of death is still pending, the news of that hyoid bone was broken has medical experts and conspiracy theorists weighing in. This small bone can break as a result of a hanging death and are also commonly associated with strangulation. Thank you so much, linsey. Thank you, whit. Now to the Severe Weather threat across the country. Dangerous storms targeting the plains as that triple digit heat wave scorches the southwest. Rob is tracking it all for us. Good morning, rob. Good morning, amy. Hot and dry conditions leading to this fire in colorado. Two evacuation orders in Jefferson County involving over 300 homes. No homes burned, thankfully. San jose, california, you have 100 firefighters battling this blaze. 99 degrees in san jose. Thats near the bay, so record heat there, and palm springs, 119, but San Francisco for the second day in a row, 94degree record high temperature.

The threat for Severe Weather is going to be across parts of kansas city which is just south of kansas city yesterday. 78mileperhour wind gusts and the high plains of colorado cou florida by the way getting hammered with rain. Well talk about that. Cecilia . Thank you. New concerns this morning after north korea fired off more projectiles into the sea. This is the sixth launch in just the past three weeks. Our chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz is tracking the latest from washington, and martha, some are now kind of pointing the finger at President Trump saying he has given kim jongun license to ramp up these launches. Reporter critics are doing that. The president continues to downplay these launches and build up his relationship with kim jongun. It was less than a week ago that the president talked about his most recent letter from kim, calling it beautiful and positive and said kim offered a small apology for the continued launches, but as you said, this is the sixth time within three weeks that kim has launched short range ballistic missiles, and while these are not missiles that could reach the u. S. , they could potentially be a threat to u. S. Troops in south korea. But kim also tied the launches to joint u. S. And south Korean Military exercises which are ongoing, but largely computerbased. Trump said kim called the exercises ridiculous and expensive and told them that when they ended, he would stop the launches, but since that very brief meeting between kim and trump on the border, between north and south korea, there have been no meetings between the two sides even at a working level and no progress on denuclearization. Whit . All right, martha. Thank you. Now to the very latest on that Russian Nuclear mystery. Norway says it has detected Radioactive Material days after the deadly blast. James longman is in russia as close as he can safely get to that scene. James, good morning. Reporter good morning, whit. Thats right. We are in the far reaches of northern russia where theres still so much secrecy around that Nuclear Missile blast. We got as close as we got to the site. Lets take a look for ourselves. This morning, looking for answers in northern russia over that Nuclear Missile explosion which caused a radiation leak more than a week ago. We traveled as close as we were allowed to the blast site. This spot saw a brief radiation spike between 4 and 16 times the normal level. Not lifethreatening but concerning. Ive got a Geiger Counter here. It shows levels are back to normal. The potentials for farreaching consequences is clear. The Nuclear Watchdog saying tiny amounts of radiation have been detected in northern norway over 500 miles away. Authorities stressed the level detected though is very low and poses no harm to people or the environment. When word spread about the incident, people rushed out to buy iodine. We tried to buy some here, but they have totally run out. The explosion killed five scientists and two defense personnel. Authorities initially denying any rise in radiation. The u. S. Officials say russia was likely testing a new type of Cruise Missile dubbed skyfall. The the missile is touted by Vladimir Putin as being able to hit any target in the world. This secrecy reminiscent of the far more serious disaster, chernobyl in 1986. A new hbo miniseries has prompted renewed interest in Russian Nuclear technology and the very real danger it poses. Now the radiation were talking about here isnt lifethreatening, but people are concerned that if or when theres an accident, they may not find out until its too late. Amy . That is concerning indeed. James longman, thank you. Now to the chaos in hong kong. Protests expected to ratchet up again this morning, and intensify this weekend with a massive march planned for sunday. Senior Foreign Correspondent ian pannell is there with the latest on that. Good morning, ian. Reporter good morning, amy. From a city bracing itself for another weekend of mass protests, overnight the police refused to grant permission for a huge march on sunday but protestors planning to defy those orders setting the stage for more violent confrontations like the ones weve been seeing. The chinese ramping up their threats. One of its top diplomats saying if the local government cant handle the crisis, then, quote, we have enough solutions and enough power to put this to an end, and ominously, the Chinese Paramilitary Police have been spotted across the border less than 20 miles from where we are right now, seen by many as a threat to the pro democracy movements here. President trump weighing in again tweeting his admiration for chinas leader, urging him to sit down and talk with protestors, trying to again reject what it calls foreign interference in its own affairs. Whit . Ian pannell for us. Remember the crazy close call we showed you thursday . Kayakers just yards away from a dangerous cliff collapse in michigans lake superior. Watch as it comes down. Well, this now may just top it. Take a look at this incident in alaska. Two kayakers were admiring whats called a glacial bridge when all of a sudden it completely falls apart, sending giant chunks of ice. Look at that. The debris flying right at the boaters there. They said, quote, were lucky to be alive right now, but survived. That was insane. Our wives told us not to get too close, but that was probably the coolest thing i have ever done in my life. When all else fails, listen to your wife. Listen to the wives. Yes, words of wisdom. Thats all i do. Good answer. We are following a lot of other headlines this morning.
