Sights that he saw in afghanistan, how he plans to use the power of sports to help Wounded Soldiers rebuild their lives. And butterfly kisses. A boys hilarious reaction to the monarch who just didnt want to say goodbye. Its on my nose. Good morning, everybody. We want to get straight to that breaking news overnight. Fatal incident involving nascar car driver tony stewart. It happened in upstate new york. Spectators horrified as another driver, apparently angry after spinning out, storms on to the track, where stewart hits and kills him. We do have Team Coverage on this developing story, including perspective from espns lead nascar reporter marty smith. But we begin with abcs linzie janis with more. Reporter the crash taking place at featured race ahead of the nascar race today. Kevin ward, a younger driver is run off the track and crashes into the side wall and then exits his car on foot. You can see him there, pointing, thats when nascars tony stewart hit and killed him. Overnight, officials confirming nascar superstar tony stewart is cooperating with an investigation into a deadly crash on an upstate new york racetrack. Stewart was running in a race in Canandaigua Motorsports dirt track, where kevin ward jr. Loses control, crashes into the wall. Thats when eyewitnesses says, ward angrily exits his car, on foot, pointing. According to investigators, after another racer swerves to avoid ward, Tony Stewarts car strikes the young driver. Ward was rushed to a nearby emergency room. But this morning, sheriff phil povero confirming he has died from his injuries. Tony stewart was visibly shaken by this incident and has promised his continuing cooperation in this investigation. Reporter stewart has not been charged and so far has not withdrawn from a race in nearby watkins glen. Nearly a year after breaking his leg, also on a dirt track. Analysts says stewart has a reputation for a short temper. In 2013, a heated argument with joey logano turned into a fist pump. After a race he thought logano blocked only him to let driveot by. In 2011, stewart was detained by australian police. With his helmet in a race in sidney. Stewarts representative, our thoughts go out to wards family and friends. Theyre still attempting to sort all of the details. Guys, many fans who were there last night, were tweeting theyre traumatized by what they saw. Lot more questions than answers. Linzie, thank you. Lets get some perspective from the crash from espns marty smith. Good morning, marty. We know that stewart is expected to race in just a few hours at watkins glen, considering the loss of young life, the trauma involved, is this a good idea for him to race . I dont think its my place to answer that question, quite frankly, i think thats up to nascar and local Law Enforcement who released him because he was so cooperative with them. Hes expected to race today. So, if all of those entities feel like hes able to race, then thats fine. Now, i will say, hell have quite a mental challenge ahead of him. As you heard the report there, hes visibly shaken. Sheriff povero said, quote, he was extremely upset in giving his statement to police. So, it will affect him, im sure. But hes supposed to race today. Marty, you have been covering nascar for decades, could nascar intervene before race time and tell stewart, this isnt a good idea to race today . They can, but i dont think they will. Because they have nothing to do with this. Nascar didnt sanction the race that he was in last night. Theyre two completely separate entities. Stewart does this on his own time. He goes back often to race at the grassroots level. Thats what he did last night. He actually told me just a couple weeks back in indianapolis, when i spoke with him about this, that some people like to go to the movies. Some people like to go to dinner. I like to go race at short tracks. Hes vested as well. In my estimation, nascar doesnt have much of a say here. Marty, nascar is so dangerous in general, how could Something Like this change the sport . Again, this isnt a nascar race, so i think the only thing that could possibly happen is the sanctioning body that sanctions those sprint car races might hand down some sort of edict, that says, if you are frustrated, dont get out of your race car and go on the track surface. But this happens all the time in all forms of racing. Stewart has done it himself in the past. If anything would change, i would have to say that might be. Marty smith, thank you for your time. Dan .

Reporter an engine fire forcing the jet to abort takeoff. 186 passengers and 6 crew members aboard. Evacuating the burning aircraft. Sliding down inflatable emergency slides. Frightening moments for passengers onboard. There was a huge bang a boom sound on the left side. So, when i looked out the left side of the plane, i saw the smoke coming out of the engine.

Any time you have a situation where passengers would not safe on the airplane, thats the time for an evacuation. Certainly if an engine is burning, that qualifies. The engine completely destroyed.
