63. 2:11From ABC News World Headquarters in New
64. 2:14York, this is World [music] News
65. 2:16Tonight.
66. 2:17>> Good evening everyone. Thanks so much
67. 2:19for joining us on this Sunday. I'm
68. 2:20Lindseay Davis. We begin tonight with
69. 2:22breaking news. A horrific and deadly
70. 2:24plane crash in a South Florida
71. 2:26neighborhood. This is the terrifying
72. 2:28moment. Dash cam video captured the
73. 2:30private plane in a nose dive next to a
74. 2:32busy road and bursting into a fireball,
75. 2:35killing nine people. That plane was
76. 2:37heading to the Bahamas after departing
77. 2:39from Austin, Texas. It fell nearly 5
78. 2:42miles in less than a minute, creating a
79. 2:44giant fiery crater. At least one mobile
80. 2:47home was destroyed. Tonight, one
81. 2:49official described the trailer park
82. 2:50where the plane went down as a crime
83. 2:52scene. ABC's Victor Reendo is at the
84. 2:55crash site and leads us off
85. 3:00>> tonight. This is the moment a private
86. 3:02jet slammed into a mobile home park in
87. 3:04Palm Beach County, Florida. Captured on
88. 3:07a driver's dash cam, nine people are
89. 3:09dead. Something just fell down.
90. 3:11>> The chartered Learjet 60 took off from
91. 3:13Austin Bergstrom International Airport
92. 3:15in Texas this morning and went down just
93. 3:18before 100 p.m. in Palm Beach County
94. 3:20about 2 hours later. Shortly before the
95. 3:22crash, the pilot reported icing and
96. 3:24turbulence.
97. 3:25>> We're managing the ice, but it is
98. 3:27moderate turbulence.
99. 3:28>> Uh there's a lot of debris on the
100. 3:30property. Looks like part of the roof
101. 3:34cut the gate and go escape. It clipped a
102. 3:36tree, knocked down power lines, and
103. 3:38destroyed at least one mobile home in a
104. 3:40massive fireball. The impact left a
105. 3:43crater and debris across military trail.
106. 3:46It's not yet clear how many of the
107. 3:48victims were on the plane and how many
108. 3:50were on the ground tonight. Florida
109. 3:52Governor Ronda Santis speaking out on
110. 3:54the Palm Beach County jet crash.
111. 3:56>> To see the way it descended, I think you
112. 3:58can you can u make the inference that
113. 4:00that something happened in the air that
114. 4:02was uh that was a big problem.
115. 4:04Lindsay, this is a very active scene
116. 4:06tonight. The jet crash just down the
117. 4:08street from us. It plunged 350 ft a
118. 4:12second, falling nearly 5 miles in just
119. 4:14over a minute. The NTSB will be on the
120. 4:17ground tomorrow. Lindsay,
121. 4:19>> just a horrible tragedy there, Victor.
122. 4:21Thank you. Now to the dramatic last
123. 4:23minute twist in a critical midterm
124. 4:25election in Michigan. Abdul Elsayed is
125. 4:27locked in a tight battle with a
126. 4:29Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers.
127. 4:31Elsad's primary rival, Representative
128. 4:33Haley Stevens, broke party ranks and is
129. 4:36now endorsing Rogers. President Trump is
130. 4:38back on the campaign trail tonight in
131. 4:40Iowa and Kansas. His party is facing a
132. 4:42litany of possible losses in deep red
133. 4:44stakes like Texas and South Carolina.
134. 4:47Steven Portoi reports tonight from
135. 4:49Kansas.
136. 4:50>> Tonight, a political bombshell in one of
137. 4:52the year's most closely watched Senate
138. 4:54races. The Michigan battle pitting
139. 4:56Republican Mike Rogers against Democrat
140. 4:58Abdul Elsied. Today, a stunning
141. 5:01announcement from Elsa's former primary
142. 5:03rival, Congresswoman Haley Stevens,
143. 5:05saying she's breaking from her party and
144. 5:07endorsing the Republican.
145. 5:09>> I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the
146. 5:12United States Senate today.
147. 5:14>> Just days ago, Stevens was backing Elsa.
148. 5:17>> Of course, I'm voting, you know, for our
149. 5:19Democratic nominee for for Senate.
150. 5:22>> The two were supposed to appear today at
151. 5:24a unity event, but instead, Steven sat
152. 5:26with Rogers at a black church in
153. 5:28Detroit. The break part of the fallout
154. 5:30from this controversial ad produced by
155. 5:33backers of Elsa. The couple in the
156. 5:35commercial says they can't afford
157. 5:36groceries because of US support for
158. 5:38Israel.
159. 5:39>> What I mean, don't we give Israel $4
160. 5:41billion a year anyways?
161. 5:42>> Stevens called the ad anti-Semitic and
162. 5:45urged Elsad to denounce it.
163. 5:46>> The hateful ad came down saying, "No,
164. 5:49we're we're going to continue to blame
165. 5:51Jewish Americans uh for the cost of
166. 5:56groceries being so high." And it it was
167. 5:59just a simple thing. Let's let's condemn
168. 6:02it.
169. 6:02>> Elsad has said he disagrees with the ad.
170. 6:05Today, he brushed off Stevens's
171. 6:06endorsement of his opponent.
172. 6:08>> I actually don't think about Haley
173. 6:09Stevens. None of this matters.
174. 6:11>> Tonight, the congresswoman's move being
175. 6:13called a despicable betrayal by top
176. 6:15Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer. Stevens's
177. 6:17top aid and communications director,
178. 6:19both resigning.
179. 6:20>> I'm still a very proud Democrat. I plan
180. 6:22to stay in the Democratic party.
181. 6:23>> But President Trump praising Stevens for
182. 6:25her quote bravery.
183. 6:28As he's traveled the country, [music]
184. 6:29Trump has repeatedly called Elsad a
185. 6:31jihadist.
186. 6:32>> I'm here to keep a
187. 6:35jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member from
188. 6:38becoming a United States senator, and
189. 6:41that's the fact. We're not going to let
190. 6:43that happen.
191. 6:44>> Elsad has condemned the attacks. His
192. 6:47aids have called them racist and
193. 6:48Islamophobic. Trump tonight hitting the
194. 6:51heartland, ending a month-long midterm
195. 6:53blitz that had him appearing at more
196. 6:54than two dozen rallies this month. In
197. 6:56Iowa, Trump hoping to boost the chances
198. 6:58of GOP Senate candidate Congresswoman
199. 7:00Ashley Hinsson against Democratic state
200. 7:03lawmaker Josh Turk. With Americans
201. 7:05focused on the increasing costs of food,
202. 7:07fuel, and housing, the president also
203. 7:09returning to Kansas tonight to support
204. 7:11embattled GOP Senator Roger Marshall,
205. 7:13who's locked in a tight race with
206. 7:15Democrat Adam Hamilton, the pastor of a
207. 7:17mega church. Marshall last week praised
208. 7:20Trump's record on the economy.
209. 7:21>> This is one of the best economies I've
210. 7:23ever seen in my lifetime. the yes, gas
211. 7:26prices are too high, but the economy
212. 7:27itself.
213. 7:28>> Across America, voters aren't convinced.
214. 7:31>> Budgeting has been a lot different now
215. 7:34than it has been a few years ago when I
216. 7:36started to go to college.
217. 7:38>> It's a little bit hard to do things when
218. 7:40you pretty much have tariffs on
219. 7:42everything.
220. 7:43>> Across the country, more than 53 million
221. 7:45Americans have already voted. Some
222. 7:47Democratic strongholds in Texas breaking
223. 7:49records, exceeding the early vote in the
224. 7:51last presidential election.
225. 7:54A Democrat hasn't been elected to the
226. 7:55Senate here in Kansas in nearly a
227. 7:57century since the depths of the Great
228. 7:58Depression. Here tonight, President
229. 8:00Trump hopes to keep that Republican
230. 8:01winning streak alive. Lindsay
231. 8:03>> Stephen, thank you. Now to the hotly
232. 8:05contested Senate race in Alaska. Two Dan
233. 8:07Sullivanss are on the ballot. Today, a
234. 8:09federal judge tossed the Justice
235. 8:11Department's lawsuit seeking to block
236. 8:13certification of the election results.
237. 8:15Here's Trevor Alt.
238. 8:17Tonight, a blow for President Trump's
239. 8:19effort to challenge the results of
240. 8:20Alaska's Senate race before a single
241. 8:22vote has even been counted.
242. 8:24>> Right in there.
243. 8:25>> A federal judge today tossed the Justice
244. 8:27Department's lawsuit, which sought to
245. 8:29block the certification of the election
246. 8:31if the incumbent Republican Senator Dan
247. 8:33Sullivan loses.
248. 8:34>> Mary Pel,
249. 8:37>> Democrat Mary Pelah is under fire after
250. 8:39the New York Times reported her campaign
251. 8:41allegedly recruited another Dan Sullivan
252. 8:43to join the ballot in an effort to
253. 8:45confuse voters. Alaskans can read. We're
254. 8:48good at reading.
255. 8:49>> There's too much corruption, too much
256. 8:50sneaking around these days.
257. 8:52>> The judge dismissed the DOJ's case,
258. 8:54saying since ballots are secret, it
259. 8:56would be impossible to determine whether
260. 8:58people who voted for the other Dan
261. 8:59Sullivan were confused. Federal and
262. 9:02state officials in Alaska say they've
263. 9:03now opened criminal investigations into
264. 9:06the alleged ballot stacking. Pelah's
265. 9:08campaign says they didn't recruit other
266. 9:10candidates, but Pelola says she doesn't
267. 9:12know if it happened.
268. 9:14>> I [music] have no idea. I honestly have
269. 9:16no idea.
270. 9:17>> Nice to see you.
271. 9:18>> The incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan says
272. 9:20she's lying, but even if he loses, he'll
273. 9:23accept the results of the vote. Are you
274. 9:24only going to accept the election
275. 9:26results if you win?
276. 9:30>> No, I'm going to accept the election
277. 9:31results.
278. 9:33>> And Lindsay, I got to show you this
279. 9:34enormous line of people here to vote
280. 9:35early in Anchorage. So, this is hundreds
281. 9:37of people who are waiting in line. It
282. 9:39stretches all the way down the mall
283. 9:41here. We're talking about people who
284. 9:42said they waited 2 hours to vote and
285. 9:44they say it's been like this every
286. 9:45single day of the week. And remember,
287. 9:46Alaska accepts mail-in ballots up to two
288. 9:48weeks after election day. So, if this
289. 9:50state decides control of the Senate, it
290. 9:52could be a very long wait. Lindsay,
291. 9:54>> so many not waiting until Tuesday.
292. 9:56Trevor, thank you. All eyes are on the
293. 9:58Senate as some Democrats are suddenly
294. 10:00competitive in several deeply red
295. 10:02states, but taking control is a tougher
296. 10:04challenge. ABC's senior political
297. 10:06correspondent Rachel Scott joins us now.
298. 10:08So Rachel, how is this race breaking
299. 10:09down in terms of the House and the
300. 10:11Senate?
301. 10:12>> Yes, Lindsay. Well, Democrats have an
302. 10:13easier path to take control in the
303. 10:15House. They only have to flip three
304. 10:17seats, but over in the Senate, a lot
305. 10:18more challenging. They have to net four
306. 10:20seats by the end of the night. Let's
307. 10:22take a look at the battleground map. So,
308. 10:24here we've already highlighted for you
309. 10:26these tossup races. Alaska, Texas,
310. 10:29Kansas, places where President Trump has
311. 10:30spent a lot of time campaigning.
312. 10:32Remember, they have to net four by the
313. 10:34end of the night. That means they have
314. 10:35to flip at least two states that
315. 10:36President Trump won by double digits.
316. 10:39That is going to be a challenge. We've
317. 10:41taken a look at all of those states that
318. 10:43President Trump won by double digits.
319. 10:45The last time that they sent a Democrat
320. 10:47to the Senate, it has been years,
321. 10:49decades in some cases. Ohio, the last
322. 10:51Democratic senator, 2018. Take a look at
323. 10:55Kansas. The last time they sent a
324. 10:56Democrat to the Senate, it's been nearly
325. 10:59a century. Now, part of the reason why
326. 11:01the political climate is so challenging
327. 11:03for Republicans right now has a lot to
328. 11:05do with the president's approval
329. 11:06ratings. And if you just take a look at
330. 11:08history, typically the incumbent
331. 11:10president tends to lose seats. So, you
332. 11:13see here that in 2006, Bush lost 30
333. 11:16seats. Barack Obama 63 seats. One thing
334. 11:20that you're going to notice here,
335. 11:21President Trump's approval rating a
336. 11:23record low 33%. This question mark only
337. 11:26going to be answered on election night.
338. 11:28and Rachel, you'll be right with us on
339. 11:31election night. Stay with us for vote 26
340. 11:33coverage on ABC and ABC News Live. Next
341. 11:36tonight, Connecticut Senator Chris
342. 11:38Murphy has suffered a stroke. The
343. 11:4053-year-old Democrat said he felt
344. 11:42numbness in his arm on Saturday while
345. 11:44attending his son's hockey game. He's
346. 11:45still in the hospital, but is expected
347. 11:47to make a full recovery. Now to the
348. 11:49heavy rain and dangerous flash flooding
349. 11:51that is slamming the Southwest in
350. 11:53Sedona, Arizona. Fastmoving water
351. 11:55swallowed vehicles and homes. Mandatory
352. 11:58evacuations are now underway across
353. 12:00parts of the region. Here's ABC's
354. 12:01Melissa Dawn. Millions in the Southwest
355. 12:05tonight facing a new round of dangerous
356. 12:07flash flooding. A cross-country storm
357. 12:09now marching east. First responders in
358. 12:13Arizona battling another system this
359. 12:15weekend, leading to several water
360. 12:17rescues amid a state of emergency. In
361. 12:20Phoenix and Scottsdale rescuing
362. 12:22motorists trapped in waist deep waters.
363. 12:25Partial evacuations in Sedona today.
364. 12:28This residential neighborhood partially
365. 12:30turning into a river after nearby Oak
366. 12:32Creek overflowed. Okay, I've never seen
367. 12:35it like this before in my life.
368. 12:36>> Highways there shut down. In Arizona and
369. 12:40in Colorado, waterways bursting at the
370. 12:42seams. The San Juan River in Colorado
371. 12:45now forcing the town of Pagosa Springs
372. 12:48to evacuate just a little more than a
373. 12:50week after devastating flooding battered
374. 12:52the area. State officials warning of a
375. 12:55catastrophic flood event. And Lindsay,
376. 12:58back in Arizona, Red Rock High School in
377. 13:00Sedona is now being used as an
378. 13:02evacuation zone amid the flooding.
379. 13:04Lindsay,
380. 13:05>> Melissa, thank you. And let's get right
381. 13:07to ABC meteorologist Leslie Lopez for
382. 13:09more on this dangerous cross-country
383. 13:11storm. Where might this impact people
384. 13:13who are heading out to vote?
385. 13:14>> You know, the center of the nation could
386. 13:15be impacted by election day, but that
387. 13:16same cross-country system right now is
388. 13:18impacting parts of the four corner
389. 13:20states, bringing with it the chance for
390. 13:22significant flooding. So, this continues
391. 13:23today. However, by tomorrow, it'll be
392. 13:25moving out towards the upper Midwest and
393. 13:27then getting down into the Plains, also
394. 13:29bringing with it severe thunderstorm
395. 13:30threats from Texas all the way out
396. 13:31towards Kansas City. There's a separate
397. 13:33system in southern Florida that could
398. 13:34bring in flash flooding. So, that'll be
399. 13:36a concern. And then on election day,
400. 13:38here we go. We're going to see some of
401. 13:39that rain move into the center of the
402. 13:41nation, also parts of the south, but it
403. 13:43will be dry on both coasts. Lindsay,
404. 13:45>> hopefully people can still do their
405. 13:47Democratic duty. All right, Leslie,
406. 13:49thank you. ICE agents are once again
407. 13:51facing scrutiny over their tactics. This
408. 13:53image appears to show a masked federal
409. 13:55agent shoving a bystander into the
410. 13:57bushes and pointing a gun inches from
411. 13:59his face. This happened Friday during an
412. 14:01operation in North Hollywood,
413. 14:02California. Here's Alex Pchet.
414. 14:05>> Tonight, a string of tense and
415. 14:07disturbing confrontations between
416. 14:08immigration agents and the public caught
417. 14:10on camera just 2 days before Americans
418. 14:13head to the polls. In North Hollywood,
419. 14:15California, agents this weekend
420. 14:16arresting a man they say was in the US
421. 14:19illegally.
422. 14:19>> The most painful cry I think I've ever
423. 14:22heard in my life. But witnessing that,
424. 14:23hearing that is so frightening and it's
425. 14:26not normal.
426. 14:27>> Cell phone video then shows an agent
427. 14:29pointing a gun at a bystander who agents
428. 14:32say picked up a can of pepper spray
429. 14:33during that arrest. In Oregon, the ACLU
430. 14:36filing suit late last week over this
431. 14:39video that allegedly shows an ICE agent
432. 14:41slashing the tires of two residents who

438. 14:53undocumented immigrant Miguel Parr
439. 14:55Hernandez with his car as Par Hernandez
440. 14:58ran from a traffic stop last month. The
441. 15:00agent's attorney calls it an accident.
442. 15:03Lindsay, the Harris County District
443. 15:04Attorney says an ICE badge does not give
444. 15:06you free reign to injure, kill, or
445. 15:08violate constitutional rights. Par
446. 15:11Hernandez is in federal custody at a
447. 15:13rehab facility. Lindsay,

474. 16:03That is reportedly going to happen in
475. 16:05January. Lindsay,
476. 16:06>> glad to hear he's okay. All right,

489. 16:35division. Marcel Hoo captured his eighth

492. 16:42still much more ahead on World News this
493. 16:44Sunday. A spade of shootings this
494. 16:46Halloween weekend. Hundreds [music]
495. 16:48running from gunshots at a crowded
496. 16:50gathering near the University of
497. 16:51Delaware and the urgent recall of
498. 16:53toddler snack bars [music] due to a
499. 16:55potentially deadly choking hazard. The
500. 16:57FDA says even the Heimlick maneuver
501. 16:59[music] could fail to dislodge.
502. 17:02Next tonight on Halloween, at least six
503. 17:05people were wounded in a mass shooting
504. 17:06near the University of Delaware.
505. 17:08Security video shows people running
506. 17:10after shots rang out in a crowded
507. 17:12stretch of downtown Newark, Delaware.
508. 17:14The injured were taken to hospitals.

510. 17:18afterward. There have been no arrests.
511. 17:21Next, the voluntary recall of snack bars
512. 17:23for toddlers due to a potentially deadly
513. 17:25choking hazard. The company once upon a
514. 17:27farm recalled its organic tractor wheels
515. 17:30soft baked bars. The FDA says the bars
516. 17:32can become so dry and sticky that even
517. 17:34the Heimlick maneuver may fail to
518. 17:36dislodge them. Parents are urged to
519. 17:38throw the bars away. When we come back,
520. 17:40Pope Leo's college [music] basketball
521. 17:41dilemma. Villanova or Notre Dame?
522. 17:46To the index at the Vatican. Pope Leo
523. 17:48met with basketball players from two
524. 17:50Catholic universities. is one of them
525. 17:52his alma mater Villanova the other its
526. 17:54arch rival Notre Dame. The two schools
527. 17:57are facing off with season opening games
528. 17:59in Rome. The first American pope
529. 18:01formerly named Robert Post acknowledging
530. 18:03his conflict as a Villanova graduate who
531. 18:06grew up on the south side of Chicago
532. 18:08where Notre Dame was king.
533. 18:10>> So the Pope doesn't take sides.
534. 18:15Post has another opinion but we won't do
535. 18:17that now.
536. 18:19Late today, the Notre Dame men beat
537. 18:21Villanova 74-72.
538. 18:24So close. When we come back, the
539. 18:26Marathon Moms, what brought them
540. 18:27together and what's driving them
541. 18:29forward.
542. 18:32Finally tonight, the Marathon Moms
543. 18:34facing their fears and helping others
544. 18:36one step at a time. For the past year,
545. 18:39Sherry, Laura, and Sheena have been
546. 18:41preparing to run these miles. But their
547. 18:44friendship began on a road none of them
548. 18:46expected to travel. Three mothers, each
549. 18:48with a young child diagnosed with the
550. 18:50same rare eye cancer.
551. 18:52>> Having a child with cancer, can be an
552. 18:55incredibly isolating and terrifying
553. 18:58experience. When I met these two women,
554. 19:00that changed.
555. 19:01>> Together, they found a new goal. 26.2 m
556. 19:05through New York City and a chance to
557. 19:07help other families facing those same
558. 19:09fears. When I found out that Sheena and
559. 19:12Laura were both planning to run the
560. 19:14marathon, it just felt like an
561. 19:16incredible opportunity to stop surviving
562. 19:19and move to the next phase to build back
563. 19:22even stronger.
564. 19:23>> Running to raise money for Memorial
565. 19:25Sloan Ketering's Fred's team. The three
566. 19:27mothers have raised more than $30,000.
567. 19:30>> To give back a little piece of what
568. 19:31they've given us is just the greatest
569. 19:34gift. We're raising money that
570. 19:36potentially could be funding another
571. 19:37study that helps save somebody else's
572. 19:39kid.
573. 19:40>> Today, Laura and Sheena joined the
574. 19:42thousands making their way through the
575. 19:44five burrows. Sherry got sidelined by a
576. 19:47stress fracture, but still showed up for
577. 19:49her friends.
578. 19:50>> I think there's true strength in in
579. 19:52being a parent. You you truly realize
580. 19:54what what you're willing to do for your
581. 19:55child, taking it one step at a time.
582. 19:57>> And today, those steps help carry Laura
583. 20:00and Sheena across the finish line. All
584. 20:02three hope the miles they've traveled
585. 20:04together will help other families find
586. 20:06their way forward.
587. 20:08>> Big congrats to all the runners. Thanks
588. 20:10so much for watching. David Mure right
589. 20:12back here tomorrow night. I'm Lindseay
