as we do every year, we join Bob and Lee Woodruff
to stand up for heroes. From ABC News, World
Headquarters, and New York, this is World News
Tonight with David New York. Good evening. We begin tonight with
that unmistakable chill in the air across
most of this country. The first blast of winter,
millions facing heavy snow and a deep freeze, dangerous
driving from the Midwest to the east and frigid air all
the way south to Florida. Windshills plunging into the
20s and 30s again tomorrow from Minneapolis to Jacksonville
from New York to Boston, freeze warnings in Florida
and Georgia at this hour. to a foot of snow falling
in some areas, including your Syracuse New York
dangerous driving, cars off highways. Snow and icy highways
up and down the east coast to truck rolling
onto its side on Interstate 77. Another frigid morning on tap
tomorrow and then this major change coming. Legal Bird has the forecast in
ABC’s Janine Norman in the snow in upstate New York tonight. Tonight, howling winds,
white out conditions, and treacherous roads. Millions stunned by an
early punch of winter cold, that’s bringing the first
major snow of the season. More than a foot of
snow and flizzard-like conditions in West Virginia. On Interstate 77 in Jackson
County, Eric Ambrose crashed his pickup. Black truck kind of similar
to mine started the change lanes, hit the front end
of my truck, hit ice, lost control, went through
went through the median and over the garden rail. He then watched helplessly as
a tractor trailer slammed into the responding officer’s
cruiser right in front of him. No one was seriously hurt. North of Syracuse nearly a
foot of snow in counting in Central Square, New York. Winds gusting to 40 miles an
hour in the northeast, making it feel even colder from
New York City to Philly. We’re sitting at the
freezing market. Look at this deep area of
pink and purple dipping all the way to the south. Yeah, they’re at 28 in Atlanta. That southern cold fueling
snow squalls over red trees in Virginia. Winter
overtaking fall. And David here in
the Buffalo area. It’s not over just yet up
to five more inches of snow expected through tomorrow
morning, along with that cold David. Janay Norman who made from Syracuse to Buffalo today. Janate, thank you. Let’s get right to Chief Peter,
I’ll just leave Goldberg from our New York station,
WABC back with us tonight. Lee, we can hear the
wind on your mic. Oh, David, that cold wind is
still cranking here in New York. We saw our first
flakes here as well. And that cold is here
tonight, although the core is lifting out. But after record breaking
temperatures in the south this morning, we’ll
still have some warnings. Cold weather warnings in
Georgia and into Florida. Still feel sub freezing. the 20s from the Great Lakes all
the way into the Northeast and the lakes nose continue
after a foot of snow in some locations in additional
few inches in upstate New York and into
northern New England. Then the lake machine
will start to shut down. Then we watch the
warmth out west 10 to 20 degrees
above average. It starts to spread
east into midweek and that chill is erased
by the time we get in the late week 70s
in the middle of the country all the way down
to the south of the 80s, just the northeast
remains below normal. David Lee Goldberg
back with us tonight. Lee, we appreciate it. The weather and the
government shutdown combining anger and frustration tonight
at America’s airports, the longest government
shutdown ever, day 43 now, 8,000
flights canceled in just a matter of days,
more than 1200 flights canceled today alone. Tonight the FAA says
this will continue, even with the House
set to vote tomorrow. Angry passengers
venting tonight, and President Trump
now taking aim some air traffic controllers
who are not getting paid, not showing up for work. Many say they’ve had to
get other jobs driving ubers for one just to
get dinner on the table. Here’s Geobanitas. Tonight an end to
the government shutdown finally in sight,
but its shock waves still rippling across the
country’s airports after 8,000 flights were cancelled
since Friday, leaving many passengers stranded. I will never travel again. If I travel again,
it’ll be I will drive. In Chicago, Clinton Bradley
would rather rent a car than risk his flight getting
canceled for a third time. If they cancel again, then
I’m just waiting around all day and I can drive
there and eat out. Today, another 1200 flights were
canceled because of weather and air traffic control shortages,
but transportation secretary Sean Duffy says a lot more air
traffic controllers are now reporting for work. “I think our air traffic
controllers are seen in the end to the shutdown and
feel more hopeful.” Air traffic controllers have
worked a month without pay, some taking second jobs
to make ends meet. President Trump says he’ll give
a $10,000 bonus, but only to controllers who worked
through the shutdown. “The ones that say to which
were there were a lot of them. I’m sending them
a $10,000 bonus.” “What’s that money coming from?” “I don’t know. get it from someplace. But the president has demanded
all air traffic controllers get back to work threatening to
dock the pay of those who don’t. Today the head of the flight
attendants union accused the president of being out of touch. Not only is it disgraceful,
it is another way that we are making it unsettled for these
air traffic controllers who have worked through
this more miraculously without getting paid. It also shows that the
president does not understand where Americans are, living
paycheck to paycheck. And David, the FAA had said
it would cut as much as 10 percent of flights by Friday. We’re told that’s still
the plan until air traffic controllers get back to work. David, Jeal, beneath his back
with us here, Geo, thanks. Tonight, with this shutdown,
ongoing members of the House have been told to
return to Washington tomorrow after 53
days in recess. Those members of
Congress did get paid during this shutdown. The key vote
now tomorrow on what the Senate has passed. Tonight, some Democrats
furious about those eight Democratic senators who
gave in with no deal on extending subsidies to keep
health insurance premiums from skyrocketing
for millions. Tonight, here, the
heated town hall, some Americans asking, “What was
this shutdown for if there was no movement on
tackling health care?” Here’s Rachel Scott
tonight with the longest government shut down in US
history set to come to an end. President Trump
declaring victory. The House is going to vote and
I think they’re going to vote positively. I think most people
want to see it open after a late night vote in the
Senate on this vote. The eyes are 60. The nays or 40. The bill as amended
this past tonight lawmakers in the
House scrambling to get back for
a vote tomorrow. They haven’t had to report
to Washington for 53 days and have been paid
throughout this shutdown. With flight cancellations and
delays across the country, Republicans Rick Crawford and
Trent Kelly carpooling to the Capitol, making a
quick rest stop in Tennessee, writing on social
media eight more hours to go. If all members make it back
to Washington on time, Republicans can only
afford to lose two votes. Public and Congressman Derek
Van Orden riding his motorcycle all the way from Wisconsin. If the bill passes, it
will take time for the government to fully reopen. Agents will have to call
hundreds of thousands of federal workers who
have gone without pay back to work. The deal funds the government
until the end of January, includes months of funding for
SNAP, and calls to rehire the thousands of federal workers
the president fired during the shutdown. But what it doesn’t do is extend
healthcare subsidies, a key demand from Democrats to keep
premiums from rising for more than 20 million Americans. In C.S. California, teacher Breonna
Vazquez, a mom of two, pays a 282 monthly
insurance premium. That number now skyrocketing
to more than $1,000. We are planning on
nothing happening. Um, because I think
that’s just in our best interest is to plan as
if they aren’t going to pass anything. And at a town hall in Iowa,
Republican Congresswoman Mary the state’s most important
way to get the vaccine. way to get the vaccine. way to get the vaccine. The state’s most important
way to get the vaccine. The state’s most important
way to get the vaccine. The state’s most important
way to get the vaccine. way to get the vaccine. The state’s most important
way to get the vaccine. The state’s most important
The state’s most important The state’s most important
way to get the vaccine. way to get the vaccine. The state’s most important
way to get the vaccine. way to get the vaccine. I’m not committing to it
or not committing to it. What I’m saying is that we
do a deliberative process. That’s the way this
always works and we have to have time to do that. In late tonight, Democratic
leader Hockeen Jeffries calling on Republicans to make a deal. You now have an opportunity to
actually take some action in an area of this healthcare crisis
by working with Democrats. And tonight the Supreme Court
extending an order that allows the Trump administration not to
fully or immediately pay out snap benefits for the month of
November, putting even more pressure on lawmakers to pass
this government funding bill tomorrow 42 million
Americans who rely on that federal food
assistance will be watching this vote very closely, David. Rachel Scott
on the Hill. Rachel thank
you tonight. The startling images
that appear to show the operator of a packed commuter
train in San Francisco falling asleep at the controls. Here’s
Melissa Adon. Tonight, harrowing
moments for these passengers on a San
Francisco commuter train. Just after 8 30 AM, security
camera footage from September showing the operator
appearing to doze off as the train accelerates
down the tracks. That train exiting
the sunset tunnel nearing 50 miles per hour. Passengers unaware of what
was happening suddenly thrown side to
side in the car. The driver apparently
shaken awake, frantically trying to stop. But that train kept going,
speeding past a stop with waiting commuters,
barreling into that curve, nearly hitting an
oncoming car before finally coming to a stop. That driver appearing
to blame the incident on malfunctioning the city’s transit officials
confirming the cause was quote operator fatigue. David one person
said they suffered a concussion and officials say
that driver was pulled from operating trains. David Melissa. Don tonight Melissa. Thank you. Now to the camp mystic
tragedy in Texas tonight. New lawsuits with disturbing
claims against the owners of the camp. Families of some of the 27
girls and counselors who and counselors who died
now saying their deaths were entirely preventable. And what they now claim
happened when counselors in those cabins began
asking for help. Here’s Trevor Alt. Tonight, families of
some of the 27 girls and counselors killed
that can’t mystic in those horrific Texas floods,
filing multiple lawsuits, alleging a disturbing
timeline of inaction from camp operators, and
what they say was an entirely preventable tragedy. They claim on July 4th when the
Guadalupe River rose 26 feet, camp leaders ignored repeated
weather warnings and failed to evacuate. Ordering campers remain in
their cabins for more than an hour while they instead
work to protect equipment. The lawsuit also alleges when
counselors sounded the alarm asking for help, operators of
the camp told the girls to quote, put down towels and only
decided to evacuate the children after a gatekeeper in a separate
building was washed away. Caitlin Bonner is one of the
parents suing she previously testified about the death
of her daughter, Lila. This loss is when no parent
should have to endure. In a statement tonight, the
attorney for Camp Mystic says these accusations contain information they’ll
address in court. And while they empathized
with the families, no adequate warning systems
existed in the area. The camp says we
continue to pray for the grieving families
and ask for God’s healing and comfort. And David, despite
these lawsuits, Camp Mystic has already
announced plans to reopen at next summer. David Trevor wrote
reporting on this again tonight. Thank you, Trevor. This evening, the
tribute’s pouring in for Oscar-nominated actress
Sally Kirkland, best known for her roles in Anna and the Sting. Here’s Matt Guppen now. Sally Kirkland was a force
on the big screen, instantly recognizable with her trademark
blonde hair and larger than life personality. Her acting career spanning
decades, from the stage to the big screen, with
Kirkland appearing in more than 200 movies
and guest-darring in some of TV’s biggest hits. Barbara Healy? Yeah. I’m
Roseanne Conner. Kirkland had supporting roles
alongside Hollywood legends. Paul Newman and Robert Redford
in the 1973 classic The Sting. That’s the big evening. Next time you want to win
50 bucks on me, mail it. But it was 1987’s Anna that
earned Kirkland the best actress Oscar nomination. Kirkland also taking home
the Golden Globe that year. You have made my day, my week,
my month, my year, my lifetime. According to her agent,
Kirkland passed away of natural causes this morning
in hospice in Palm Springs. She was 84. In a statement today,
her talent manager telling ABC News, Sally
transcended time and space in her career. Her passion for the art
of acting was contagious to all who
worked with her. And regardless of the
role, she gave it 1000%. Remembering Sally Kirkland
tonight are thanks to Matt. When we come back to New Bridge
just open that has collapsed the dramatic video showing
it coming down and what led to this moment right here. Also tonight the C-130 plane
breaking apart in mid-air, falling from the sky. And the incredible rescue at
sea we have learned Americans among the passengers floating
in the water and the rescue effort that
followed in a moment here. Tonight, dramatic images showing
the moment of bridge collapse just months after opening,
collapsing in southwest China, authorities say
cracks on the mountainside triggered landslides. The bridge opened in September. It was closed to
traffic at the time. The terrifying images
C-130 cargo plane breaking apart in mid-air, the
plane had just taken off from Azerbaijan, plummeting
to the ground here, at least 20 on board, no survivors. When we come back here tonight,
that incredible rescue would see Americans among the
passengers floating in the water and the rescue, you’ll see it. To the index, the dramatic
rescue would see 55 passengers, some of them Americans
rescued when they’re catamaran, saying off of
the Dominican Republic, the catamaran set off from
New York late last month. Everyone was saved. When we come back on
this Veterans Day, we stand up for heroes. and how you can help tonight. – ABC World News Tonight
with David Meur, sponsored by Progressive. – Finally tonight here
on this Veterans Day, we stand up for heroes. Tonight on this Veterans Day,
we honor our nation’s heroes and we honor all of those who
are determined to support them. – After seeing very few
people in the first… – Among them, our
friend Bob Woodruff, who you’ll remember was badly
injured by a roadside bomb while on assignment
in Iraq in 2006. We remember that moment, his
young children in bed with him. – You taught me, I taught you. – So great to be home. – He’s remarkable recovery. And for 19 years now,
he and his wife Lee and stand up for heroes,
part of the annual New York comedy festival. We’ve been with
them along the way and we will never
forget what Bob told us nearly a decade ago now. It was quite simple
and it was profound. I’m in it’s been the
most satisfying thing I’ve ever done in my life. The most satisfying
thing he has ever done, helping these heroes. And last night, he and
Lee, on stage again. I’m Bob Woodruff. This is my amazing wife, Lee. [LAUGHTER] Comedians, musicians. Let it go. Coming together, right
before going on stage. Hey, David. Hey, David. It’s a couple hours
to show time. and we’re probably
checking in with us. – This is the 19th
year here, David. You’ve been here so many times
from the very beginning. We never thought it was
gonna last this long, and some ways it’s sad
that it’s still needed. So badly thought it
helped the veterans. – David, you’re always covering
kids on America’s strong. So there are a lot of veteran
kids out there in families, and we’re looking for all
the ways we can support these wonderful
families who’ve served. – Among the families,
Hey, David. Clint. Army
Major Clint Culver and his family from
Clarksville, Tennessee, outside Nashville. This whole entire
deck and everything was completely underwater. While Major Culver was deployed
overseas earlier this year, his family’s home
back in Tennessee was hit with life
threatening floods twice. This was completely
wrecked, this whole garage. His wife and two sons and
their dog able to escape, but their home severely damaged. The dehumidifier, the
sub-pump system, all of that had to be completely
replaced twice. The culverts did not
live in a flood zone, they did not have
flood insurance. That’s when the Bob
Woodruff Foundation, along with operations
stand-down Tennessee, stepped into offer a lifeline,
helping to pay for a hotel, helping to rebuild. But now the culverts on
stage saying thank you. Money from the foundation
meant that our family could get to be in one place and
maintain some sort of normalcy. And right here tonight,
hi David, Major Clint Culver and his wife Denise. I want them to see that
their donations matter. And it’s just a really good
foundation that helped us. And I’m hoping that we
can bring awareness to help other families too. – We honor Major Culver
and all of our veterans, the bobwoodrufffoundation.org
to help. And our thanks to Bob
and his amazing wife, Lee, as he says, and it’s true. Good night. – David Moore, the most
watched newscast in America. And now ABC’s World News
Tonight has won the Emmy for Best Live News Program
for the third year in a row.
