1:35field tonight here, the young players
1:37who inspired us
1:42from ABC News World Headquarters in New
1:45York. This is World News Tonight with
1:49David Mure. Good evening tonight from
1:51ABC News election headquarters here in
1:53New York and it is great to have you
1:54with us here in a very busy Monday
1:56night. There is breaking news tonight
1:58involving President Trump and the
1:59midterm elections and these new polls on
2:01these very close Senate races where they
2:04stand on election eve. But we do begin
2:06tonight here with that horrific plane
2:07crash in South Florida. The video is
2:09disturbing. Tonight we're learning more
2:11about the chilling final moments. The
2:13video showing the Learjet in a
2:14high-speed nose dive, descending 32,000
2:17ft a minute, crashing onto a road,
2:19exploding into flames. Nine people were
2:22on board. They were all killed. The
2:23plane flying from Texas to the Bahamas
2:25when it reported heavy turbulence.
2:27You'll see the storm cells on the radar
2:29that that plane was flying through in
2:31just a moment. And tonight,
2:32investigators now believe a key part of
2:34that plane may have come off before it
2:36crashed. One of the pilots, 20 years
2:39old, she can be heard saying, "We're
2:40going to crash into the ground." ABC's
2:42Victor Aendo leading us off tonight on
2:44the scene in Florida.
2:46>> Tonight, chilling new details on the
2:49final seconds before that horrific jet
2:51crash in Florida
2:53that left nine people dead. Watch as
2:55that jet nose dives, plummeting 32,000
2:58ft per minute before smashing into the
3:01ground and exploding in a fireball.
3:03Tonight, federal investigators now say
3:05that plane may have broken apart midair
3:08before crashing. We do have some
3:10indication that the aircraft was
3:11breaking up before impact. We may find
3:15parts of the aircraft some distance away
3:17from the actual impact site.
3:18>> Officials say the Lear Jet 60 took off
3:21from Austin, Texas at 10:37 Sunday
3:23morning heading to the Bahamas. A family
3:26member telling ABC News 20-year-old
3:28Natalyia Gadellia Fidgas, seen here, was
3:31one of the two pilots at the controls.
3:33She reportedly obtained her pilot's
3:35license while in high school roughly 2
3:38hours after takeoff. That jet crossing
3:40over South Florida with severe storms
3:42lighting up the radar.
3:44>> The weather conditions are a major u
3:46focus of the investigation.
3:48>> At 12:47 p.m., one of the pilots telling
3:51air traffic control the plane is
3:53experiencing icy conditions and
3:55turbulence.
3:56>> We have light clear ice that is
3:59manageable and moderate turbulence. The
4:01pilots requesting to climb to 37,000 ft.
4:04But less than 30 seconds later, flight
4:07radar 24 data showing the plane
4:09appearing to fly into a strong storm
4:11cell before suddenly plummeting. The
4:14pilot declaring a mayday and was heard
4:16saying, "We are going to crash into the
4:18ground. Seconds later, the jet slamming
4:21into a residential street in Palm Beach
4:22County, leaving a massive crater. Debris
4:25flying as far as half a mile away,
4:27damaging homes and injuring at least one
4:29person on the ground.
4:31>> I honestly thought it was like a bomb or
4:32something.
4:33>> Tonight, experts pouring over video
4:35frame by frame. This image appearing to
4:37show part of the tail missing.
4:39>> That piece of the tail is what would
4:41have allowed the crew to pull out of the
4:43dive. Without it, there is no chance
4:45that they could recover.
4:46>> And tonight, we're learning more about
4:47the victims in a joint statement from
4:49their families. Adam Robinson and his
4:51wife Helen Sharp and their two young
4:53children, Charlie and Emma, ages two and
4:55four, were on board. Their family saying
4:58they touched so many lives.
5:00David, storms in the area tonight,
5:02slowing investigators as they work
5:04through the scene. In this image, you
5:06can see the jet in a steep dive,
5:08plunging 32,000 ft per minute.
5:11Authorities investigating the weather on
5:13Sunday and if the plane broke apart
5:15midair before crashing. The debris field
5:17spans half a mile, but parts of the
5:19plane could be even further from the
5:21crash site. David, just horrific images.
5:24Victoria Kendo, our thanks to you. We're
5:25thinking about that family and of course
5:27those pilots tonight. We move on with
5:29the other news tonight. The high stakes
5:30midterm elections tomorrow night. Of
5:32course, we'll be on the air tomorrow
5:33night here all night long. Tonight,
5:35President Trump choosing to deliver his
5:37closing message in front of one of his
5:39renovation projects, the reflecting
5:40pool. The midterms will determine
5:42control of Congress. And tonight, the
5:44new poll right here on these
5:46allimportant Senate races and what it
5:48reveals. Here's Mary Bruce.
5:50>> Tonight, on the eve of the midterm
5:52elections, President Trump choosing to
5:54deliver his closing message in front of
5:56one of his projects, the reflecting
5:58pool.
5:59>> Today, I'm thrilled to announce the
6:01official opening of the Lincoln Memorial
6:05reflecting pool. Now we're giving
6:07serious thought to changing the name to
6:11the Trump
6:13reflecting pool.
6:15No, I'm only kidding.
6:16>> The pool renovations cost taxpayers more
6:19than $16 million.
6:21>> Uh, does somebody have those pictures
6:23for me?
6:23>> The president detailing the
6:25improvements.
6:26>> We're replacing all of the grass and all
6:28of the parks because like the human
6:31being, grass has a life. also
6:33>> speaking for more than 23 minutes before
6:35mentioning tomorrow's election. Trump
6:37has held 28 rallies largely in states he
6:40won before, but today he gave himself an
6:43out if Republicans have a bad night.
6:46>> For some reason, the sitting president
6:49doesn't win the midterms. But we gave
6:51this a very strong shot. Across the
6:55country, more than 57 million Americans
6:58have already voted, on track to outpace
7:00the early vote in the last midterms. In
7:03Michigan, one of the nation's most
7:05closely watched Senate races pits
7:07Republican Mike Rogers against Democrat
7:09Abdul Elsied. At the 11th hour, the
7:12Democrat Elsa defeated in the primary.
7:15Congresswoman Haley Stevens showed up at
7:17church with Rogers, declaring she was
7:20now endorsing him. Abdul said that I was
7:24no longer welcome in his campaign and
7:26that I should stay away and he's right
7:30and that's why I am endorsing Mike
7:33Rogers.
7:34>> Elsa calling it a distraction instead
7:37focusing on Michigan voters.
7:39>> They just want to talk about me and my
7:41name and my faith. My name and my faith
7:43are not the reason we can't afford our
7:45gas.
7:46>> My name and my faith are not the reason
7:48we can't afford our groceries. not the
7:49reason we can't see a doctor. It is
7:52their policies that are doing that.
7:53>> But Rogers is trying to capitalize on
7:55the moment.
7:56>> We've got elected officials in this
7:58state, Democrats, saying, "I can't vote
8:00for him. He's too extreme." My argument
8:02is listen to the people who are around
8:04him.
8:04>> In Ruby Red, Texas, Democrat James
8:07Terico taking on Republican Ken Paxton.
8:10>> The left in this country keeps getting
8:12more and more radical.
8:14>> Terrio casting the race as David versus
8:17Goliath. David wasn't as big or as
8:22strong as Goliath. He didn't have as
8:23many weapons, but he had hope. He had
8:27faith. And he had a slingshot. The
8:31people of Texas are my slingshot.
8:35And on November 3rd, those Goliaths
8:38aren't going to know what hit them.
8:40>> And David, we have some breaking news to
8:42report. The Supreme Court has just
8:43rejected the Trump administration's push
8:45for California to set aside 20,000
8:48ballots that the administration claims
8:50could have been cast by people who are
8:52not citizens. It comes just one day
8:54after a federal judge in Alaska rejected
8:56the administration's effort to intervene
8:58in the Alaska Senate race. David.
9:00>> All right, Mary Bruce live at the White
9:01House tonight about to make the trip
9:03from DC right up to New York. Mary,
9:04can't wait to see you for election night
9:06right here. Thank you. And one more note
9:08tonight showing just how fascinating
9:09this night could be tomorrow night. It
9:11could be a real nailbiter. The new polls
9:13tonight on several key Senate races,
9:14many in normally deep red states. And
9:17what these polls show. So, let's bring
9:18in Rachel Scott. She's already over at
9:20the big board getting ready for the big
9:22night. And what do these polls show,
9:23Rachel?
9:24>> Well, David, these polls coming in the
9:2511th hour right ahead of election day. I
9:27want to take you right to it. Starting
9:28in Maine, it is the Democrat Troy
9:31Jackson 51% polling ahead of the
9:34Republican incumbent Senator Susan
9:36Collins who is at 45%. Let's take you to
9:38Michigan. Abdul Alaied, the Democrat,
9:4053%, several points ahead of the
9:43Republican, Mike Rogers, who's trailing
9:45behind at 42. Over to Ohio, the former
9:49Senator Sherid Brown ahead here, 49% of
9:52the incumbent Senator John Houston, a
9:54Republican who is at 44. And over to
9:56Iowa. I mean, take a look at this. This
9:58is a dead heat. The Democrat Josh Turk,
10:0148%. The Republican Ashley Henson, 47%.
10:05This race is neck andneck. Over to
10:07Texas, an unexpected battleground.
10:09Democrat James Tyler Rico at 50% pulling
10:12ahead right now. The Republican Texas
10:14Attorney General Ken Paxton, he's at
10:1643%. And then the red state of Texas, it
10:19is the Democrat Adam Hamilton sitting at
10:2249% heading into election day ahead of
10:24the incumbent Roger Marshall who is at
10:2745 44%. David, many of these states have
10:30not sent a Democrat to the Senate in
10:31decades.
10:32>> Yeah, a lot of these states are deep red
10:33states, at least normally speaking. A
10:35very different midterm election on tap
10:37here. We should point out that many of
10:38these races are within the margin of
10:40error. We've seen polling errors before,
10:42but what this does show is it going to
10:43be a very close night. So, we want
10:45everyone to tune in. In the meantime,
10:46you're tracking another key number
10:48because we know what voters have been
10:49telling us about the key issue this
10:50election.
10:51>> The economy. The economy. It's top of
10:53mind. I want to take you to one more
10:54number here. The average price for a
10:57gallon of gas, $414
10:59a gallon. The average price for diesel
11:02right now averaging $629
11:05a gallon. If these two numbers hold, it
11:07will be the highest gas and diesel
11:09prices on record ever on election day.
11:12David.
11:12>> All right, Rachel Scott. This time
11:13tomorrow, you have some company. Rick
11:14Klein will be at the big board with you,
11:15and of course, John, Mary, Lindsay, and
11:18Martha will be up here at the desk.
11:19Thanks so much for being here at night
11:21early. The entire powerhouse political
11:22team will be here. And our
11:23correspondents from Alaska, Texas,
11:25Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, Maine,
11:27so many other states, too, all across
11:29this country. Our coverage begins
11:31tomorrow night on World News Tonight and
11:33then right at 7 PM Eastern. We come on
11:35the air right through the wee hours of
11:36the morning this time tomorrow night.
11:38Thank you. There is concern over the
11:40weather on election day. Storms and
11:41already tonight the dramatic images
11:43coming in. The flash flood emergency in
11:44Florida. Nearly 2 feet of rain in some
11:47areas already and then the dramatic
11:48water rescues in the southwest tonight.
11:51Chief Meteorologist Ginger Z with the
11:52forecast and the images already coming
11:54in tonight. Tonight, devastating flash
11:57floods in Florida
11:59and harrowing rescues playing out in the
12:01desert southwest as separate systems
12:04inundate both sides of the country.
12:06Parts of Florida hit with nearly 2 ft of
12:08rain in less than 24 hours. Cars
12:10submerged, yards and neighborhoods
12:12turned to lakes. Flash flood emergencies
12:14declared for multiple cities on
12:16Florida's east coast. This car bobbing
12:19hood first. Damen Ivankovich shot this
12:22video as he rescued his grandmother and
12:24her cat from their flooded home in
12:26Melbourne. All this water threatening to
12:28break an all-time state record for the
12:30most rain in 24 hours. And in the desert
12:33southwest, several months worth of rain
12:35falling in a matter of days. Northeast
12:38of Phoenix in Lakeside, Arizona, a
12:40natural gas line popping and hissing as
12:42it washed away with this bridge. Outside
12:45Sedona, a terrifying scene playing out
12:47in this RV park as a family tries to
12:49save one of their dogs, ultimately
12:51carrying it on their shoulders. Further
12:53downstream, multiple campers flipped,
12:55others smashed into trees.
12:58Not far from there, multiple helicopter
13:00rescues. Sheriff's deputies swimming
13:02through rising flood waters to rescue
13:04stranded people in Yavapai County. And
13:07overnight near Prescuit, firefighters
13:09and two residents teaming up to save two
13:11people from their vehicle. One rescuer
13:13swept a half mile downstream during the
13:15effort. Fortunately, they're okay.
13:18>> Just incredible pictures tonight. Let's
13:19get right to Ginger Z because Jinger, a
13:21lot of people are watching this election
13:22day weather very closely.
13:24>> David, there will unfortunately be rain
13:26and storms getting in the way of some
13:28voting tomorrow. But let's talk about
13:29what's happening tonight. We still have
13:31flash flood warnings in Florida from
13:32Vero Beach to Port St. Lucy, West Palm,
13:34too. That means you don't want to go out
13:36and drive if you can avoid at all cost.
13:38The next couple of hours, we're going to
13:40keep seeing these slowmoving
13:41thunderstorms drop an additional three
13:43plus inches of rain on places that have
13:45had 10 to 20. Not good. But they will
13:47dry out tomorrow and certainly going
13:49into the weekend. Also tonight, tornado
13:52watch from Witchah to Oklahoma City to
13:54Witchah Falls. That same front that
13:55drops so much rain in the southwest that
13:58is moving across the nation now
13:59Cleveland to Atlanta on Wednesday. And
14:01finally here from the Mid-Atlantic to
14:03Northeast where we've had this epic long
14:05stretch of dry weather, glorious autumn
14:07weather. It will come to an end with
14:09rain on Thursday and Friday, David.
14:11>> All right, Ginger, thanks so much. We'll
14:12see you first thing in the morning on
14:13GMA. In the meantime, we turn to the
14:14alarming injury on the football field.
14:16Detroit Lions star Jack Campbell
14:18suffering a neck injury, motionless for
14:21more than 10 minutes. What they're now
14:23saying about his condition tonight. And
14:24here's Will Reev. Tonight, Detroit Lions
14:27star linebacker Jack Campbell remains
14:29hospitalized more than 24 hours after
14:32suffering a neck injury on this tackle
14:34against the Minnesota Vikings, leaving
14:36him face down and motionless on the
14:38turf. Medical staff and the whole Lions
14:40team rushing to his side before he was
14:43placed on a backboard and carded off the
14:45field and taken to the hospital.
14:46>> Obviously, you see he's immobilized and
14:49all the Lions players over there.
14:51There's
14:53this is tough. Just minutes after their
14:55victory over the Vikings, Lions head
14:57coach Dan Campbell addressing the team
14:59in the locker room.
15:00>> We don't know anything else at this
15:02point. So, here's what I want to do,
15:03man. We're going to take a knee, man. I
15:06want to pray for Jack.
15:07>> Star quarterback Jared Goff shaken.
15:10>> It just brings you back to reality for a
15:11moment of, you know, that he's a husband
15:13and a father and it's scary. Late today,
15:15the team sharing no details about his
15:17injury, but saying Jack Campbell
15:19continues to rest and recover at a local
15:21hospital and preliminary indications are
15:24positive.
15:24>> Got to see his parents, talk to his
15:27wife. Everybody's in good spirits and
15:30it's about the recovery and it's it's a
15:32small setback.
15:34>> And David, coach Campbell says when he
15:35went to visit his player in the
15:37hospital, they were running some tests,
15:39adding that everyone is pulling for Jack
15:41Campbell. David,
15:43>> no question about that. will read

17:29witnesses to come forward tonight. Three
17:31people suffered chemical burns after a
17:33margarita mixup at a Chili's restaurant
17:35in North Carolina. Health department

17:43say the customers instantly felt a
17:45burning sensation after taking a sip. An
17:47investigation found that a worker who
17:49used power washing the building's
