Her inspiring message this morning. How shes getting stronger. And we do say good morning, america. Looking forward to sharing great news from Amy Van Dyken. Its a very, very busy tuesday morning. And were going to start though with the breaking news overseas. Another massive earthquake rocks nepal overnight causing more death and destruction. New trauma in that already devastated country. Abcs Hamish Macdonald joins us now with the latest. Good morning, hamish. Reporter george this is the worst possible news for nepal. Another massive earthquake has rocked the country following by a series of aftershocks just as they were starting to rebuild. Already, the death toll is past 40. A moment of panic in nepal. These reuters pictures show a country shaking again. Another massive earthquake at the top of the world sends these residents running from buildings. Nepals parliament in session the moment it strikes. Politicians flee and outside the injured dragged to safety. Here, they look up in disbelief. Their building is still standing. And perhaps also disbelief it was just two weeks ago that this earthquake hit nepal, killing 8,000 people. U. S. Helicopters are deployed along with search and rescue teams. We thought there was a riot happening because all of a sudden there was commotion in the streets then we realized there were people pouring out of the buildings on each side of the street. Reporter this morning, those scenes playing out again. Listen to this, heavy breathing. This is what a lucky escape looks like. At 12 35 local time a powerful initial quake measuring magnitude 7. 3 struck close to mt. Everest after just 12 minutes an aftershock measuring 5. 6. Then again 19 minutes later measuring 6. 3. And within an hour another two came just minutes apart. Kids are really upset. One of the things weve been trying to work on is that children are looked after. Reporter in nepal this is what theyre telling us helicopters and search and rescue teams are being deployed. Theyve already started evacuating some of those injured. But no doubt there is a huge job ahead for them. Robin. No doubt, thinking of all in that region. Hamish, thank you. Now to deflategate. The nfl reaching a decision concerning tom brady and the new england patriots. The superstar quarterback suspended four games. The team fined and docked draft picks. Abcs ryan smith is outside the patriots stadium in foxborough with the latest. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning. Hes been called tom terrific. A role model. And one of the greatest quarterbacks of his generation. But tom brady who some say is the golden boy with a more dubious distinction. One of the highest profile players ever suspended in nfl history. This morning, tom brady, sidelined, suspended for four games without pay for his role in deflategate. Touchdown reporter his team, the new england patriots, taking a hit as well fined 1 million matching the largest fine in nfl history. Also losing two draft picks. The nfl saying monday, footballs were intentionally deflated in an effort to provide a competitive advantage to tom brady adding the fourtime super bowl winner was at least generally aware of the activities leading to the deflation. The league addressing brady head on, saying your actions clearly constitute conduct detrimental to the integrity of and the Public Confidence in the National Football league. Overnight bradys agent vowing to appeal telling abc news, the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis. Patriots ceo robert kraft maintaining there was no tampering with footballs. Saying the punishment far exceeds any reasonable expectation. Adding tom brady has our un unconditional support. The suspension of one of the premiere players firing up patriots nation. Theyre trying to make an example. Its really not fair. Reporter and igniting a firestorm among current and former players. Nfl great jerry rice writing i know tom brady is a great competitor and leader. I feel sorry for him and patriots nation. Giants quarterback eli manning weighing in, saying while hes not happy to see his friend suspended you have to follow the rules. And so if someone is breaking rules, i understand youre going to get punished for it. Reporter last week, brady seemed calm making an appearance in front of the hometown fans, even joking about the scandal. There is an elephant in the room. Where . Reporter but now some saying this punishment is sending a very clear message to the rest of the league. Brady has less than three days to file an appeal, which would be heard by Roger Goodell or his designee. And the irony in all of this, if his full suspension stands, his first game back, against the indianapolis colts, the very team that reported the deflated footballs to the nfl. Robin. That note did not go unnoticed. Thank you. Want to talk more with michael and jesse. A lot of people are weighing in including former players, former players, current players. Did they get it right . Too much . Too little . What do you think, michael . Well, i think in the grand scheme of things, the nfl is going to go above and beyond before theyre going to understate anything so i think they did what they felt was right. Its hard for me to understand if you didnt definitively say he knew to suspend the player for four games. I think thats where the problem lies. There was no definitive information in the report saying they knew for sure that they did this. What did you think about the rulings . I have no problem with how the patriots are being punished. I think tom bradys punishment though is way too severe. And theres no precedent for this in the nfl. I make an analogy. In baseball, sammy sosa corked his bat. He got suspended eight games. Thats roughly 5 of the regular season. Tom brady is getting 25 of the regular season without any conclusive evidence. For an infraction that i think is more minor than corking your bat. To me i dont think the punishment fits the crime. You do think the commissioner was sending a message that goes beyond . Of course, absolutely. With the things that have happened over the course of the last season or so with the nfl, other incidents from Domestic Violence to this now, they want to send a message that no matter what, if youre in violation of anything that makes this league look bad, youll be punished. Tom brady is the next guy in line for that. Theyre going to protect the shield, the integrity of the game above all else. Its the most important thing. Doesnt matter if youre a future hall of famer, nobody is exempt from that rule. From the getgo we were trying to determine what would happen here. If there would be a suspension, a fine, whatever . You both said if something came down, he was going to appeal. And he is going to appeal. And he should. He should. This report left it open for him to appeal. When they said, the probability that you knew, not that we know that you knew, they left it open for him to say, hey, you have no definitive reason to say i did anything wrong. It was some rogue ball boys. Tom brady, im just the quarterback. I played the game with whatever they gave me. I had nothing to do with it. Reading troy vincents letter to tom brady, the nfl executive president its apparent, part of the punishment is because they feel he didnt fully cooperate with the investigation. Didnt give over text messages. Didnt give over emails. They also think he lied. A lot of his testimony corrects the information that they gathered so don yee, bradys attorney has been very outspoken. Yes. He didnt think the investigation was unbiased. This will get appealed. They dont believe him. Thats apparent. You were a quarterback in the nfl, can you not know . Do you not know . Im a defensive lineman. I would rarely touch the football. I would know. So everybody would know if the ball is underinflated. I think you would know. A lot of people at home dont know. On game day both teams dont play with the same footballs. Each offense uses their own footballs. Quarterbacks creatures of habit, were so particular. Some like them more deflated, some like more inflated. Equipment staffs every week throughout the week theyre manipulating the footballs. The kickers get their own ball, as well. Thank you, gentlemen. As we say, this is not over. George . Thank you. We want to turn to the extreme weather causing so much damage. More tornadoes touched down monday as the threat shifts to heavy rain and floods. Rob marciano is in the hardhit town of van, texas. Good morning, rob. Reporter good morning, george. Its been a busy 36 hours. People from all over the state pouring in to help them recover from that devastating tornado. 12 hours of dry weather has helped in the rescue and cleanup efforts. But the storms that came through here to bring those tornadoes last night moved east. Overnight, the ohio valley hit with supercell thunderstorms. Inside reporter as texas and arkansas clean up from those deadly twisters. The tornado outbreak now blamed for at least five deaths. In van, texas, three people missing, found this morning after an ef3 tornado, packing winds of up to 140 miles an hour, tore through the town. Once the windows got busted out, i got in a little ball and rode it out. Reporter from the air, you really see the expanse of the damage. Home after home destroyed. Nearly half the town demolished. Its unreal. I mean, i grew up here. This is my hometown. Its devastated. Reporter in south dakota, you can see how an ef2 completely wiped out a subdivision. On top of tornadoes, deadly flooding. The water had jumped the creek and was starting to take over the land. Reporter in krum, texas, 42 injured in all. Dozens plucked from the raging floodwaters. Some parts of texas have seen over a foot of rain in the past week. We have more coming today. Flash flood watches are out. Any more we get is going to cause flooding and could get up to 5 inches in spots and although were dry right now in van rain is expected later on this morning. Robin. Rob, thank you. Now to scary moments for passengers aboard a los angelesbound flight. Take a look at this. A skywest plane forced to make an emergency landing, part of the landing gear not down sending sparks flying. Abcs david kerley has that story for us.

On approach, the tower and another pilot take a look at the landing gear during a lowlevel pass at the airport. 5316, there appears no left main gear. Yeah, its up and locked. Reporter so, they dump fuel over the ocean, tell the passengers to brace, and make this approach to the runway. 5316, again, it appears your left main gear is not down. It appears up. Reporter the pilot keeps the left wing up as long as possible. Finally letting it drop to a 30second, more than 4,000foot slide. We were in the crash position for probably ten minutes. And then you just hit the ground nice and smooth. 5316, it appears from our angle no smoke. Reporter no smoke, that quick evacuation and passengers surprised. It was an incredibly smooth landing. I would say it was actually smoother than some i have had with all of the landing gear down. Really, kudos to the pilot. Reporter kudos to the pilots and a round of applause before they popped that door and jumped out of the plane. This morning, federal investigators and the airline trying to figure out exactly why that left landing gear wouldnt come down. Thank you, david. We turn now to a major scare on an interstate bus. Caught fire, suddenly exploded on the side of the highway right at the start of rush hour. The quickacting driver got everyone off safely. And this morning authorities trying to figure out what went wrong. Abcs Kendis Gibson has the story. Reporter this morning, investigators looking into what caused this. Watch again.
