This morning the fitting farewell to one of baseballs greatest players. And byebye bachelorhood. Americas most eligible man George Clooney could be hours away from tying the knot. Were live in venice where preparations are said to be well under way friday, september 26, 2014. Announcer from nbc news, this is today. With matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a friday morning. 7 00 out on the west coast. Im matt lauer along with hoda kotb, and we have al roker and Natalie Morales as well. Remember when i cried watching the movie the notebook on the plane . Very well. It was nothing compared to last night watching the yankees. Handed you a tissue. Bawling like a baby. Derek jeter this moment here. Wow. Like he has done so many times before. He comes up clutch, bottom of the ninth, gamewinning hit. Yankees win, and jeter goes out a hero. Amazing. Incredible moment. Much more on that with willie geist. Meanwhile, what a mess in chicago. That breaking news, a ground stop at chicagoohare and midway airports. Hundreds of flights canceled. Tom costello covers aviation. What can you tell us about this . Reporter if you are on the west coast and flying out today or expecting somebody to come in via chicago it could be a long wait. Take a look at flight radar 24, a live look at whats happening around the air space of chicago. Look at the huge gaping hole, going to the north and south of of it, this morning at about 5 42 central time a fire was reported in the basement of chicagos center, that is the facility that handles High Altitude air Traffic Control crossings if you will. They found an individual in the basement of that facility in aurora, illinois they believe had suffered a selfinflicted wound and they also found an individual maybe the same one, suffering from smoke inhalation. They evacuated the building. They had to put a ground stop in effect at midway and chicago ohare. And as a result nothing is moving. Hundreds of flights into and out of chicago, both airports, midway and ord, are canceled, not moving whatsoever. The lines in both airports as you might expect are backing up. And this is going to mean now a dramatic and very big Ripple Effect across the country because if a flight is supposed to come in of course from seattle, to chicago, and then go on to new york or charlotte or memphis, its not even getting to its original destination. All of those other flights therefore are going to be delayed or canceled. This is a real mess in the Busiest Airport now, in the United States. Chicagoohare, and midway. A lot of people trying to travel for the weekend. Tom, thanks very much. Now to the u. S. Led fight to destroy isis. New air strikes targeted more oil facilities. Here at home officials are pushing back against claim from iraqs Prime Minister that the militants plan to attack american subway systems. Kate snow is in Lower Manhattan with more. Good morning, kalt. Reporter good morning. Multiple Law Enforcement and intelligence officials tell nbc news there is no evidence right now of current threat against the new york city subway system. In fact, some officials said what the iraqi Prime Minister said was total bunk. But that said t fbi director is warning that it is possible isis could attack here in the u. S. From coast to coast, and in between, cities are scrambling to reassure riders they will be safe on the mornings commute. In new york city, officers who worked yesterday were kept on overtime through the night, we rode the number 6 train with the mayor and police commissioner. The people of this city should feel very comfortable and secure moving through the subways. Reporter last night iraqi officials did try to tone down the initial warnings from the Prime Minister that alarmed so many. This, of course, captures headlines but in truth, americans have to understand that these sorts of threats bubble up frequently and almost always they are not credible. Reporter with the u. S. Bombing isis positions, the iraqi warning comes a it a time of heightened fear, made worse by videos of terrifying beheadings. On thursday fbi director james comey said they believe they identified the masked man seen in the videos and he said the agency is focusing on trying to identify two people in isis propaganda videos who appear to have canadian or american accents. Comey said the administration believes isis is looking to do something in the u. S. , something matt asked susan rice about earlier this week. Do you have credible intelligence that would tell that you isis operatives, isistrained operatives currently on american soil . Matt, we do not have any indication at the present of active concrete plotting by isil against the United States homeland. But we do know, matt, they are dangerous. Reporter officials all over the country are trying to walk that line between preparedness and reassuring people that all will be okay. The governor of new york said the level of preparedness is the highest since 9 11. Kate snow, thanks so much. With a suspect in Custody Police intensify their church for a student Hannah Graham. So far Jesse Matthew t last man seen with her is not giving detectives much to go on. Nbcs craig melvin has been covering this story from the beginning. Good morning to you. Reporter matt good morning. Charlottesville police are in galveston, texas preparing to bring Jesse Matthew back to virginia.

Reporter thursday searchers scoured hillside orchards and other remote areas outside charlottesville. To find Hannah Police are trying to track matthews movements. He was seen at a Football Game hours before she went missing, then seen in Surveillance Video police say with hannah, but friends did not report her missing for a day and a half. This block of time is very large, significant block of time between the time that we know Hannah Graham disappeared and the time that disappearance was reported to us. We need to shrink that gap. Reporter it was another week before matthews showed up at Police Headquarters refusing to answer questions and eventually speeding off. If he was seen in the weeks to follow, alone, we need to know that information. If his demeanor or attitude, his personality was different, we need to know that.

Lets turn to that unforgettable ending to the home career of yankee great derek jeter. Two decades he has been the face of the franchise. Once again jeter came up big in a big spot. Willie geist is here with more. The exhausted willie geist. Up all night. Worth it. It was totally. Just about a perfect night. You know all of the superlatives w 14 time all star. Sixth in the alltime hit list. He was emotional when derek jeter was asked what he was thinking when he stepped to the plate he said, try not to cry. Its a routine derek jeter has performed in new york nearly 1500 times before. Slipping on the iconic yankee pinstripes, jogging out to his position at short stop and playing baseball for the team he dreamed about playing for as a kid. But this time was different. This time was the last. As the sold out star studded crowd at Yankee Stadium chanted his name, jeter soaked it in briefly, then got back to business. Runner goes. Deep to left field. Still back. Still back. Its off the wall. Lacing a double off the ball in his first atbat. Jeter with a double. Driving in a run and crossing home plate himself. Jeter was drafted by the yankees in 1992. A scrawny teenager from kalamazoo, michigan. Here is the kid derek jeter hunting for his First Major League hit. By 1995 he was called up to the big leagues, a year later a World Champion and well on his way to being the toast of new york city. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning and the winning run on second base, derek jeter came to the plate at Yankee Stadium one last time. Base hit to right field. Number 2 comes through in the clutch again, and the yankees win 65. Derek jeter fantasy becomes reality. Then he said goodbye. I want to thank everyone here. I said it time and time again. Everybody chanting thank you, derek. And thinking to myself for what . You know. Im just trying to do my job. Thank you guys. Jeter going out the way he always conducted with total class. He was giving that interview on the field, the stadium is chanting his name asking about him and he stopped and said i want to congratulate the Baltimore Orioles on making the playoffs, you guys deserve it and tips his cap to them. Incredible guy. And a lot of people asking would he go onnen and play in boston. He said im going to play. Im not going to play in the field. Ill be a designated hitter because i owe it to the boston fans to show up. So many great signs in the stands. A guy who said my grandfather told me about babe ruth and im going to tell my grand children about derek jeter. Cool moment his nephew, very close to his sister. This is his nephew at the end of the game tipping his cap to uncle derek. How cool is that. So cute. I cant even priceless. Great night in the bronx. I want to mention were going to sit down with derek jeter next week on today for his post postretirement interview next week right here. Natalie, the news. New information on the ray rice scandal. A new claim out that the head of security for the nfl was sent a cop of the bombshell ray rice elevator video months before the league finally suspended rice indefinitely. Peter alexander has the latest on this. Good morning. Good morning. This new report can complicate matters. We heard from the commissioner roger goodell. He insisted that no one in the nfl officialses saw the now infamous ray rice video before it came out. But an anonymous Law Enforcement official tells the Associated Press he sent the video to the attention of the nfls chief security officer, Jeffrey Miller, back in april. The ap reports the official acknowledged he doesnt know if miller ever saw the dvd or frankly, if he opened the package. Overnight miller vehemently denied that he received a copy of the video and said he did not see it until this month. And despite the nfls insistence they repeatedly asked Law Enforcement officials for the video, the Associated Press source says no one from the nfl ever asked me to see the video. Natalie, well keep our eyes on it. Peter alexander, thank you. A deadly accident forced closing of a major freeway in detroit this morning. Police say a pedestrian bridge collapsed after it was hit by a truck. The driver of that truck was killed. Fortunately, there was nobody on the pedestrian bridge when it fell but all lanes of the southfield freeway were closed throughout the morning rush. A protest march turned violent in ferguson, missouri thursday night. Witnesses say ferguson chief tom jackson was marching when a scuffle broke out. At least four people were arrested. This comes hours after jackson issued a video apology to the parents of michael brown, the unarmed teen shot by a Police Officer last month. A chaotic scene is captured by surveillance cameras. A man steals an suv in front of the owner and several valets at the hotel, the suspect as you see at the bottom left of the screen, he gets in but then he slams it into reverse, crashing into the luggage rack and two hotel valets. A woman there holding on trying to open that door. Other people jump in to try and help but the carjacker reverses the suv again, pinning two men against another vehicle, eventually he barreled his way through and gets away. The man identified as alberto ruiz was captured, facing charges of carjacking and attempted murder. Didnt drop the balloons. Just get out of the way. I guess you hold on to everything.
