I dont know anyone who does. Shouldnt have. Reporter now were just four days away from the first president ial debate of this cycle and there is concern within the Trump Campaign that hes not focusing enough on this first debate while Hillary Clinton is taking time off the trail to prepare, trump has a full schedule. He was going to focus more this weekend but now hes added an event. Sources do tell us theyve uploaded past Hillary Clinton debate performances on to an ipad so trump can study them. George. Okay, tom, thanks very mu michael, i see youll talk to cecilia vega now. Cecilia is down in orlando with the Clinton Campaign as mrs. Clinton prepares for the debate and good morning to you, cecilia. Reporter hey, michael, good morning to you. The clinton team says mondays big debate is possibly the biggest night of this race so far. Were talking about two different candidates here. Two very different styles of debate prep. You heard tom say that trumps team is a little concerned he might not be preparing enough. Clintons team says this is the trail starting today in these intensive debate preps and doing mock debates with the donald trump standin and reviewing foot on to get a sense of what hes like on that debate stage. The clinton team tells us they are worried about one thing, theyre not sure which donald trump will show up, whether hell be the aggressive candidate or the more reserved one. They say thats made this a tough thing to prepare for. She has to prepare for two people but you mentioned mock debates. Is thereom donald trump and if so, who is it. Reporter the clinton team is keeping this one very close to the vest. Theyre not telling us who is playing it but ill tell you this, shark tank star mark cuban says he volunteered to play donald trump. He also says the Campaign Never returned his emails on that one, michael. Very interesting. Lets bring in platt to talk about this. The new polls are out showing that Hillary Clinton may be firming up her position with a sixpoint lead in the fourway holding very close in those battleground states. Yeah, i think fascinating thing about this race the equilibrium seems to be about hill i with a three or fourpoint lead. For donald trump hes never taken a lead in the game. Hes gotten in the red zone a number of different types but never actually taken a lead. That brings us to the debate. A big debate about debates, whether they matter or not. They tend to reinforce where the race is heading. Big exceptions 1960, keed 1980, ronald reagan. I think these debates will matter more than anything else. Weve seen Hillary Clinton spend 100 million on ads that has no effect on the race and seen donald trump add a whole new campaign team, not really an effect on the race. George bush had a sixpoint lead going into the first debate. He didnt do well. We came out of that dead even in the race so i think thats the possibility for this. Second debate that flows from this. Whats going to matter what people see on monday night or friday. Determining a debate winner is two different thing, one, how do they perform on monday night and what goes back and forth in that but really in the aftermath what are people talking about. Al gore won the first debate but in the conversation in the aftermath of that in th2000 geoe bush turned out to be the winner. The whole team will be there 9 00 eastern on abc on monday night. To the latest on those bombings in new york. The fbi trying to find these surveillance tape in chelsea saying they could be possible witnesses. Abcs linsey davis is on the scene where one of the bombs was found. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning to you, robin. Police want to tress that the two men they are looking for are witnesses only and are not facing any criminal charges. This morning, the fbi is asking for the publics help in locating these two men who authorities believe found this undetonated Pressure Cooker bomb 27th street on saturday. They are witnesses. There are no criminal charges. Theyre not in any jeopardy of being arrested. Reporter Authorities Say Surveillance Video shows the two removing the improvised explosive device from the bag and then leaving the vicinity, ditching the device but walking away with the suitcase. They removed what turned out to be a Pressure Cooker and placed it on the sidewalk and they rolled the bag away. Reporter this image was taken saturday night just a few blocks away and within an hour of another device exploding on west 23rd street. But it was this device with at least a dozen fingerprints found on it that led the fbi to the suspected bomber, ahmad rahami. Authorities believe the suitcase could contain even more vital evidence. It could be a rich environment full of other things. Reporter now new video is emerging of rahami seen here in a hair salon next to the familys Fried Chicken restaurant just one day before the attacks in new york and new jersey. Investigators are also inspecting rahamis backyard explosives in the days leading up to the attacks, a sort of test run. Were also getting a closer look at the journal he was carrying when police took him down now bloodied with a bullet hole containing references to jihad and attacking nonbelievers. Investigators say theyre still trying to determine if rahami had help. As for those two mystery men the fbi says that its possible that they somehow were able to disrupt the device preventing it from going off. They also a are very, very lucky they didnt get hurt. Robin. Hopefully they will be found soon. Thank you. Now to amy with the mornings other top stories starting with a crash of a military jet . Thats right, robin, a u. S. Marine fighter jet crashed into the Pacific Ocean off okinawa similar to this one crashed shortly after takeoff. The pilot ejected safely and was rescued by an air force hell. The cause still under investigation. And a dramatic crash off the coast of greece. Take a look. Nose down. The engine apparently failed during a training exercise.

The fire at vandenberg is 70 contained but heavy winds could whip up that fire once again. Crews have been working to restore power to puerto rico. Millions of people were plunged into a blackout after a fire plant. Water service has also been limited in that area. Finally, its not your fault if you feel like skipping the gym today. According to science, we are wired that way. In an article now going viral an understandably so a harvard researcher explains humans evolved to rest as much as possible to conserve energy so they could go hunt for food and escape predators so it is, guys, our evolutionary instinct to be hunters. If youre watching us on the treadmill, feel free to stop. No, keep going. Now to the scary moment on the runway. Abcs david kerley has more on this nearmiss. Reporter its the moment air racing pilot tom richard never saw coming. Its a fellow pilot striking him from behind at 60 miles an hour. Shearing off part of the planes tail and it happened so fast. I spun around faster than the blink of an eye. Reporter the plan was for the eight planes to take off at the same time for the race. But with engine trouble richards plane is shut down. He signals to abort the takeoff opening his canopy to caution the other pilots and signal officials. A message they didnt receive in time. Steve senegal was piloting the other plane, video from inside impact too. How are you doing . Are you hurt . Reporter the first thought on both pilots minds, concern for each other. Yeah, im okay.
