Diverted to nearby airports. The flights that were on the ground here, passengers, as the planes moved away from the terminals passengers had to deplane and come down and depart and make their way back. They spent the night at hotels. According to the local authorities a man that was here and made some sort of verbal threat. A man who is known to the fbi. The fbi and the joint Terrorism Task force are now investigating the details of what happened here last night. Reporter i pulled up and they said theres a bomb threat. Everybody started running to get up. Reporter tense moments at Jacksonville International airport. Shutdown by police because of two suspicious packages. A lot of people started ducking behind where the packages go. Reporter the airport was evacuated when a bomb squad found one package in the terminal and another in a nearby parking garage. The airport tweeting details about the incident in real time. Jso bomb squad on site conducting their investigation. Currently no in bound or outbound flights. It was a device that had some destructive nature to the degree that it needed to be taken off site to be rendered safe which is what we did. Reporter despite eyewitness reports no arrests were made and there were no suspects in custody. We saw the guy arrest the guy earlier and throw him down on the ground and that started a long wait. Reporter a long wait for families relieved to be reunited with their loved ones. The most important thing to us is that were all safe. The fbi is now leading the investigation here. It is unclear if those packages were strategically placed to cause damage or injury. Meantime, this morning, because of the diverted flights, Flight Operations here are some what disrupted. There are at least five cancelled flights this morning but theyre attempting to reschedule the passengers to get out later today. All right. Kerry sanders in florida for us. Thank you very much. The other big story, the growing public outrage on day two of the Government Shutdown. Peter alexander is at the National Mall in washington. Good morning. Good morning. The white house is telling us that the president cancelled the back half of his Southeast Asia trip scheduled to begin this weekend. He will no longer be going to malaysia and the philippines as a result of the Government Shutdown. Its now day two of the shutdown and the wide ranging impact is more clear. National parks closed, federal Office Buildings closed. The department of the army telling us 154,000 of its civilian workers have been furloughed as the impact is hitting real people. Reporter as wedding venues go, this one is historic. The Jefferson Memorial where they were scheduled to get married this saturday before the shutdown closed the memorials and cancelled their ambulance. I wasnt worried about the government shutting down. I was worried about rain. Theyre among two dozen couples scrambling to find new places to tie the knot this month. We arent going to have the wedding we wanted or planned after putting so much energy into it. Its really upsetting. Reporter in virginia, dawn worried when shell get her next paycheck after being furloughed by the department of health and human services. It means we have to make our groceries extend for two or three weeks instead of the one week we have. We have to make the gas in the car last that much longer. Reporter she and her stay at home husband have three children and a weeks worth of savings. It makes our life harder because were already down to the bare minimum. Reporter across the country a growing chorus of frustration. Dear, congress, my name is marion is on. My name is brandy. Reporter americans stepping up to the mike under the dearcongress thataunched tuesday here on today. I have 8 grand children and the youngest two are 9 years old and i thought if they ever acted as childish as you are id tell them to grow up. Reporter in washington, the president and Congressional Republicans appear no closer to ending their standoff. I urge House Republicans to reopen the government. Harry reid, obama come to the table and negotiate. Theyre stalling. Theres no reason for a shutdown. To make the most of their free time furloughed federal workers will be stationing themselves at the closed monuments as stand in tour guides to help tourists looking for places still open during the shutdown. You see the clock there as well. Its a constant running count up, no longer counting down as this thing is underway. More than a day into the shutdown. Peter alexander, thank you. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and chief white house correspondence. Good morning to you. Good morning, matt. So were, 24 hours or so into the blame game, the finger pointing, anger being vented by people at that, you know, Dear Congress hashtag. The question is, is there any glimmer of hope or progress or sign this could end soon . No. Not at all. What you saw yesterday, particularly on the republican side is the first time in about a week where publicly republicans on capitol hill looked a little bit united. They were sharing the same talking point. Attacking harry reid for not negotiating saying this is about fairness. Having to do with the Health Care Law and this idea that Congress Gets a break. They were sharing the same set of talking points. They were all comfortable using the same set of talking points and the fact is you have the debt ceiling hanging out there. The nationals credit card. We hit our credit limit in a couple of weeks. Thats sitting out there. Thats another leverage point republicans think they have. I think its a political mistake but they think they have it and matt, this is all going to merge together. So theyre dug in and i think were looking at more than a week at least, maybe two. But just stay in the present for me for one second. I thought Chris Matthews put it good, he said the republicans are asking the president for something he cant give them by asking the Health Care Law be dismantled thats his baby and nobody can give away their baby. Can this end unless the republicans are willing to walk away with nothing . No, it on the ends when the republicans split on this. You have a group of moderate republicans or Senate Republicans say thats it, weve had enough. Some sort of public show on the senate side. A agree, i dont see how the president ever gives anything on health care other than maybe this repeal of a medical device tax or maybe some small change. But can you imagine, do House Republicans sit there and say, hey, we shut down the government for a repeal of a tax on pacemakers . So thats why i cant imagine theyre going to give in now on that front either. All right. Chuck todd in washington. Thanks. As chuck mentioned the shutdown is all about a fight over the new Health Care Law. Uninsured americans can sign up for health care coverage. The first 24 hours were a bit rocky though. Tom costello is in silver spring, maryland. Good morning. Good morning. 15 of the patients in this er dont have insurance so this hospital supports the Health Care Law but the website crashed and state websites struggled but they simply didnt expect the volume they had this early in the sign up process. Reporter from east coast to west, Health Insurance is now a possibility for tens of millions of uninsured americans but the start of obama care has not been without glitches. Many people unable to log on and sign up. Too many people accessing it right now. Reporter the white house says within the first few hours millions tried to log on to health care. Gov. Most met glitches and gridlock. I keep getting this error page. She tried enrolling but the system wasnt budging so she called customer service. 15 minutes into this car. This is the second call. Almost 20 minutes on the phone now. We started about 35 minutes ago. Reporter many republicans said they werent surprised. From reports around the country it seems that obama care is off to a rocky start. Reporter the president insisted its a sign of how many people want Health Insurance. Well be speeding things up to handle all the demand that exceeds anything we had expected. Reporter but some states websites were working. Among them, california, connecticut, and colorado. In denver, steve and jen were quick to sign up. Hes got tuberculosis and heart disease. Over the past year and a half we got over 20 or 30,000 in debt. Reporter every state offers four categories of insurance. Bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. In connecticut we found an uninsured family of four earning 50,000 could buy silver coverage for 178 a month in premiums. Deductibles at 5,000 and the out of pocket maximum would be 10,400 per year. In georgetown, texas, kimberly went to a clinic for signing up. It weighs on your mind when you dont have insurance. People out there believe in this and want to have access to a provider. About 7 Million People is how many people the Obama Administration hopes will sign up during the first year. Eventually theyre hoping that 25 million uninsured americans will sign up. Guys, back to you. Tom, thank you so much. Natalie is here with new developments tied to last months deadly chemical attack in syria. Good morning, everyone, International Inspectors arrived in damascus to begin the process of removing chemical weapons from the country. Their mission was improved by the u. N. Security counsel that asks for the chemical stock pile to be gone by next year. Theyre apologizing this morning for the behavior of a 911 dispatcher that apparently laughed during an emergency call. Take a listen to this. 911, what is your emergency. My car just caught on fire and my girlfriend caught on fire. Is your girlfriend still on fire . No. No. Okay. Is your vehicle still on fire. Its hilarious, huh . Sir, is your vehicle still on fire. I just heard you smirk. Okay, sir, it wasnt regarding that, okay . I just heard you laugh. Well, the Sheriffs Department is looking into the incident. The 911 worker is still working during the investigation. Microsoft has no comment on a report that bill gates is under pressure to step down as chairman. According to reuters, three of the companys investors want to press gates to resign. They say its blocks microsoft from adopting new strategies. It was a sales pitch that went horribly wrong and all played out thousands of miles in the air but this is where it ended up on a florida highway. He was trying to sell his vintage plane. He was right in the middle of a test flight with a potential buyer when the plane lost power. He to then land on the highway but after further inspection decided to go ahead and take off again using the road as a run way. No word on whether or not the sale went through although if i were a perspective buyer im not sure id stay in the plane. A little discount. The price going down right there with the plane. Thanks. Mr. Roker, can we see the video now. This is from st. Cloud, minnesota. A big electrical storm coming off the sun, all the energy makes its way into the electrons of oxygen and nitrogen and you get these fabulous colors and a little bit of a shooting star there. This is beautiful stuff. You cant beat this. Lets show you what weve got today. A low pressure system around the gulf bringing rain there. Here in the northeast, we have just had a spectacular string of weather. Another gorgeous day. We get to see downtown manhattan. Were also looking at more warm weather. Its not october. This is more like august. Return flow around this High Pressure bringing those temperatures up along the i95 corridor. Boston 81. 83 new york. Washington 86 degrees and as you get into the midwest, 86 in st. Louis. Fayetteville 86. Oklahoma city 86 as well. But theres a big cool down coming and in the next half hour looking at a major winter storm that maybe before they sat down, one more time, just for themselves. Before the last grandchild. Before the first grandchild. Smile. Before katie, debbie, kevin and brad. There was a connection that started it all and made the future the wonderful thing it turned out to be. At bank of america, we know were not the center of your life, but well do our best to help you connect to what is. Good morning. Theres our summer in october sunrise, an here are the temperatures as you walk out the door still feeling like autumn. Still in the 50s throughout most of the region, but later this morning quickly jumping into the 70s and then should hit mid and upper 80s by afternoon. Record highs in the day set back in 1986 of 89. Near that record high this afternoon. And it will feel like summer, too, on and weve got a tropical system that may be effecting the gulf coast this weekend. We have a lot going on. We were wondering if we could see those aurora pictures again. And pink floyd. It really happens. Well turn to the vatican where the pope is holding a Ground Breaking meeting with card nals. It could lead for bigger changes to the worlds 1 billion catholics. Michelle kosinski has the latest on that. Good morning. Hi, matt. In the months since pope francis has been a pope hes been called a rock star and revolutionary and giving lengthy interviews, calling up people on the phone and spelling out what he wants to do to make the 2,000yearold church more modern and more meaningful. Reporter this isnt any vatican meeting. For three days pope francis and 8 cardinals including an american are talking real change here. So this is all a big deal, isnt it . It is a big deal. What the pope is saying is that the vatican is here to serve the universal church. Reporter they will look at rewriting the vaticans constitution, how the administration works. The pope has already spoken out incredibly candidly in interviews just published, one of them with an atheist tackling head on a number of topics the church doesnt address. Criticizing the structure itself. Heads of the church have often been narcissists flattered and thrilled. The court is the lepracy of the papacy. He is throwing out how they usually do things. They say he should act like a missionary. Not so easy when the Catholic Church is a multibillionaire. The vatican bank just released an annual report thanks to pope francis insistence on transparency revealing profits that quadrupled to nearly 117 million. He is going to examine the bank and reform it. And if a homosexual person is in good will and in search of god i am no one to judge. Also saying it is necessary to explore bigger roles for women. Do we expect to see change . There should be organizational changes right away. There could be women running many of the commissions here in the vatican. Pope francis has done things differently virtually from day one and people embraced him for that. Hes also been active on twitter putting things out there like our lives should not be centered around money and its not christian to not know who your neighbors are. Matt. All right, michelle. Thank you so much. Carson, you started something with the Dear Congress hashtag yesterday. We wanted a forum for you to vent. Let us know your thoughts. Sound off on the topics. We created the hashtag. And it was the number one trending topic at one point. We got a tremendous amount of facebook posts and vine videos. Were glad you found us as a home to sound off. Dear congress, its obvious you no longer care about the welfare of those you represent. One vine suggests congress is going to the dogs. On instagram the hashtag got messages from movie characters like from the matrix and theres even a scolding from george washington. On twitter, megan shared advice from abraham lincoln. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Maybe someone else could get the job done, like the at t guy and his gang of kindergarteners. When you say it like that it makes perfect sense. Your actions make children look like a debate of scholars. One woman used a trick he uses when her kids dont get along. On instagram, a telling message on voting. Dear congress, do you ever wonder why young people dont vote . This is why. There you go. Just a few of what you had to say. If you look over here, the dearcongress yesterday was so popular we have a word cloud here. The size of these words represents how many times these words populated some of the messages we were getting. You see paycheck, government, even ego and shame. Big themes that were out there. Coming up later well give you a highlight clip of the late night hosts. Theyre the only people on the planet enjoying the Government Shutdown. Not to get preaching here but the woman that said this is why young people dont vote, this is why young people should vote. Its the opposite of that but i think her sentiment is understood by a lot of people. Yes, sir, good point. Got it. Well take a turn. The search for justice. A new arrest made in the shocking case of road rage in new york as police look for more of the motorcycle riders. Imagine coming home to an empty house. Almost all of your possessions taken.
