the players still had the goggles for the champagne. >> a great party. >> congratulations to the royals. comeback kings. beating the mets in game five to win their first world series since 1985. it was a rough weekend for new york sports fans. >> yes, it was. >> the mets losing. and who dat, the saints, with the wild game. >> the royals would not be denied. setting a brand new record for comebacks. >> they were trailing going into the ninth. >> proving that last year was no fluke. we begin with the mysterious plane crash. the wreckage in egypt's sinai desert. all 224 people onboard were killed. investigators on the scene. they'll ruling out plane failure. pilot error. they're not ruling out terrorism. alex marquardt is there. >> reporter: the executives of the airline, metrojet, gave a press conference a short time

shape. saying the causes could only be due to external forces. early this morning, a plane landing in russia's st. petersburg. carrying many of the bodies of the 224 who died in the crash. investigators are sifting through the charred wreckage of the airliner. strewn across eight square miles of barren desert. the airline insisting there was nothing wrong with the plane. pilots could only lose control because of a mechanical impact. russia's top aviation official saying it's too early to know. >> looking at the tail section is very telling. was it a bomb or was it structural failure? >> reporter: the flight took off from sharm el sheikh on saturday. smiling families posting photos. as they boarded to go home. over the next 20 minutes, the

then, data shows it climbed and descended quickly several times. slowing to 71 miles an hour before kaskt was lost. officials say no distress call. an isis-linked group claimed responsibility. intelligence officials say they don't have the missiles to shoot down a plane that high. and the ex-wife of the co-pilot told russian tv that he regularly complained about the status of the aircraft. including on the morning of the flight. back in st. petersburg this morning, anguished families, like these parents of a 29-year-old who died, now going to the morgue to try to identify loved ones. russia says the recovery efforts at the crash site will end today. the black boxes have been recovered. they're in good shape. we're told they've been sent to cairo for analysis. the best hope for shedding light on to how this tragedy unfolded. >> thank you, alex. we bring in steve ganyard.

external forces. that's what officials are saying. what do you think? >> at this point, we can't rule anything out. for an airplane to come apart in midair for no good reason is why this is such a mystery. there are a couple of things we can look at. perhaps a bomb. or perhaps it was some unknown structural failure where the airplane came apart. right now, we don't have evidence that points us one way or the other. >> you heard from alex saying the black boxes. usually that's a great sign to recover them. you're saying they may not point to what happened and it's more of the investigators looking at the pattern of the wreckage? >> we talked about this in the past. we're saying let's find the black box. because it will have all the answers. this airplane came apart instantaneously. there may not be data on the black boxes to help us.

the desert floor. they'll look for the clues and the real answers will be there on what the wreckage shows us. >> hopefully so, steve. thank you. now to the wild weather across the south. 20 tornadoes reported. along the gulfen coast from texas to georgia and major flash floods left a trail of destruction. as the storm moves east. clayton sandell is in la porte, texas. good morning, clayton. >> reporter: good morning to you, george. they're picking up the pieces in this neighborhood this morning. you can see this house has nearly all of the roof torn off about 70 homes damaged here. that's just the start. nonstop weekend rains, up to three inches an hour. >> we were scared. the water was up and up. >> reporter: closing roads. swallowing cars and rvs. unleashing fatal floods. six people killed. >> i was holding a tree. the tree flipped over. it hit me. i don't remember nothing after that. i woke up. i was floating.

and it's not just homes that are damaged. it's schools, too. some in such bad shape that classes here this morning are canceled. now, to meteorologist ginger zee. >> thank you, clayton. it was a difficult weekend. not just there in texas. you're looking at reports from texas to georgia of flash flooding and 20 reported tornadoes. at least nine of them confirmed. that storm moving to the east this morning from the florida panhandle up through montgomery, atlanta, spartansburg, south carolina. that's where the heaviest rain will fall. this rain, three-plus inches, nothing compared to what fell in washington state. and this morning it's raining in san francisco. it's a big deal for california and i'll have that coming up. george. thank you. in the meantime, the race for president. the backlash this morning over last week's republican debate. the candidates concerned about the questions and the amount of time they have to answer them. their representatives met last night to come up with new

tom llamas is here with that. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. the complaints range from the types of dressing rooms to the number of candidates on stage. they didn't agree with everything. one campaign says there was universal frustration. this morning, campaign chaos. some of the republicans running for president are teaming up to try to change the upcoming debates. representatives from nearly all of the republican candidates meeting overnight behind closed doors following last week's highly criticized debate that prompted responses like this. >> we have isis and al qaeda attacking us and we're talking about fantasy football. can we stop? >> i think there's general agreement that the last debate was a farce. and something needs to be done about it. >> reporter: dr. ben carson wants one debate per month. calling for, less gotcha questions and more substance. >> don't you want to hear what they have to say and have that

challenged by a free press? >> there's a place and time for that. but as far as i'm concerned, these debates are to highlight the differences in philosophy between the candidates. >> reporter: some of the other major candidates asking for major change and making bold suggestions. >> if you have never voted in a republican primary in your life, you don't get to moderate a republican primary debate. >> reporter: now, the republican national committee, which was not invited to the meeting last night, said it is appointing their c.o.o. to oversee the debates. which creates a debate sar for the rnc. it's unclear if the candidates will listen to this person since they want to call the shots. >> let's bring in the chair of the rnc, reince priebus. thank you for joining us this morning. the campaign seems to have taken the matter in their own hands. one said, the major question is if the rnc should be involved at all. have you lost control of the

debate process? >> look, there's 14 campaigns and so you know, it takes a few people to create a narrative. no. the truth is we're involved. we're in control. we're setting the calendar. in fact, if what happens from last night -- goes forward, i think it's exactly where we want to be. >> the campaigns will send a list of demands to the debate sponsors. including three. each candidate gets 30 seconds for opening and closing statements. equal number of questions for each candidate. and approval of debate graphics. is that all the changes? do you expect other changes? or on the schedule? >> no, not on the scheduling. not on the contracting. the ability to sanction or desanction a debate is with the rnc. and the candidates want that because we have the leverage in order to make that happen. >> you don't have to run that by the candidates?

the calendar is set. and so we're going to work through the calendar. but, what we're going to make sure that we do is communicate with the candidates. listen to the candidates. make sure when there is unanimity among the candidates, we're going to fight for what the candidates want. when you have 14 candidates, part of what last night was the candidates getting together to focus on what they can agree on. when we started this process, we wanted to do a few things. set a reasonable calendar. we didn't want 23 debates. we wanted some say on who the moderators were. we did all that. >> what about the nbc debate? you said it was suspended. lp it go forward? donald trump won't participate if they continue to partner with telemundo. >> that's yet to be seen. we'll communicate with nbc. talk to the candidates. we'll do what we need to do.

what happened at the cnbc debate was a debacle. it's clear. i've been vocal about that. it wasn't what was promised. it wasn't what was delivered. i do agree with them that they should be more involved in the formatting. i'm happy about that. >> mr. chairman, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you, george. >> we're going to have to see what happens on the last question. donald trump says he'll boycott that debate if telemundo is involved. he'll be here live tomorrow. right here on "gma" to talk about that, the campaign and his new book "crippled america." now we turn to a deadly halloween shooting rampage. a man walking through a colorado neighborhood killing three people before he was killed in a gun battle with police. kayna whitworth has the story. >> shots fired. possible shooting in progress. >> reporter: a normally quiet neighborhood transformed into a crime scene. three people were gunned down by a man who may have lived in the

neighborhood. police still searching for a motive. 33-year-old christie galala and a yet to be identified man killed saturday morning. all the victims were shot in less than 30 minutes. it all started before 9:00 a.m. saturday. the first victim was a man riding his bike. 24-year-old ryan white was awoken by shots. >> i didn't believe they were gunshots at first. >> reporter: matt abshire said he saw the shooter walking down the street. >> two guns. he's walking calmly, like he's walking a dog. >> reporter: abshire follows the gunman. and calls police. in just a few blocks, he came across a horrifying scene. >> i looked to my left. there was a lady on a bench. she was shot in her chest. i put pressure on the wound. another lady shot in the jaw. >> reporter: police caught up with the shooter here. in a barrage of bullets, the suspect was killed.

police seen at a high school across from the wendy's searching for more evidence from the shootout >> we're all hurting tonight. >> reporter: overnight, the community of colorado springs gathering by candlelight to remember the victims. so authorities say the autopsies will be done today. and they're planning a news conference tomorrow to release the name of the third victim and the suspect. robin? >> we're thinking of that community. thank you, kayna. amy has the morning's other top stories. including earthquakes shaking up arizona overnight. >> the first hit black canyon city around 9:00. two larger quakes around midnight. the strongest was a 4.2 magnitude. that opened up cracks in walls but no injuries reported. an explosion that leveled a home near detroit could be felt three miles away. one man in critical condition. the residents had been reportedly trying to start their furnace. a monster typhoon.

welcome back to "gma." there you see the 2006 wedding between tom cruise and katie holmes. that was the event that sparked leah remini's eventual break from the church. of scientology. a wrenching process. over seven years. an exclusive new interview with remini coming up. also right now, investigators on the ground in egypt this morning, trying to figure out what caused the passenger jet to fall apart more than 30,000 feet in the air.

the airline saying plane failure and pilot error is not to blame. something that they call external forces took down the jet. a sign of the times. a surprising new study. or is it? nearly all kids under the age of 4 have used a phone or other mobile device. most of them started before the 1st birthday. >> what are they waiting for, robin? the fallout after the wild final play of the miami-duke football game. jesse was all over that. >> eight lateral passes. the refs in a whole lot of trouble. that's ahead. we're going to begin with leah remini and her very public break with scientology. the exclusive on "20/20" the other night brought interest on her book. shooting to the top in the best seller list. amy, you sat down with her over the weekend. she did not hold back. >> that's right. leah told dan harris about her

30-year relationship with scientology. a religion she and her sister were introduced to by their mother as children. after years of slowly questioning scientology, the beginning of the end happened at the star-studded wedding of tom cruise to katie holmes. she was upset to find that a number of guests had filed what scientologists call knowledge reports, complaining about her behavior before and at the wedding. >> can you read me key lines? >> it starts with, i was dismayed by the behavior of leah remini. during the events leading up to our wedding. the behavior as a guest and friend was upsetting. >> i sat down with leah remini for her reaction to all of it. the church of scientology has provided several statements to abc news. i'm going to read part of the latest one. the full statement is on the website.

>> oh, please go there and see that. thank you for plugging. >> her repeated ethical lapses and callous treatment of others led to a review, which resulted in her being expelled. what do you say to that? >> um -- ah -- what do i say to that? >> were you expelled? >> that's like saying, i broke up with you, you broke up with me. i don't know when that happened. i didn't get the memo that i was expelled. if that's what makes them feel good, i was there, like i said, for over three decades. but again, not a shining endorsement of an organization who says they have the answers to mankind and certainly, i was there seeking health. i don't know what else to say about that. okay. cruise. >> mm-hmm. >> what is his role in the church?

>> well, that's unclear. um -- but -- my experience, and there seems to be a lot of power there. that i couldn't subscribe to, as well. if i'm at dinner, we're going to dinner together, you're not going to write an internal church report on me that you thought i got a little -- you know, tipsy at your dinner party. and then, have to deal with that financially within your church. and be taken off of a spiritual path, so to speak, to deal with how you're interacting with this particular person. and so, the power seemed to be enormous. it was my experience. >> were you, i mean, i can't imagine that. being with someone in a social setting and being -- were you afraid of what you said or didn't say or how you acted? were you worried about getting written up? >> constantly. that, again, there's policy in

up. on knowledge reports. so you create an environment where everyone is writing each other up. i was guilty of this. what it does is it doesn't allow you to have the relationship with the person -- you have become a person who can't deal with your husband directly, your wife directly, your own child directly. and the church becomes your parent in that way. and then, my role is pushed out. >> cruise's ex-wife katie holmes issued a statement we saw in friday's special. she said, i regret having upset leah in the past and wish her only the best in the future. you're smiling. >> yes. i'm smiling because it almost makes me -- um -- want to cry. it makes me emotional because -- um -- at the time, that katie

writing reports, it caused me a lot of time and pain and my family -- being reprogrammed. so, at the time, i was -- um -- fighting with her, i guess, for a lack of a better word, within the church. and now i know, really, what she was going through. because at the time, i was thinking of myself. and my family and what we were going through. and although painful, i had no idea she was going probably through a lot more. and in looking back now and seeing her and suri, um -- out there in the world and her being able to be with her daughter, and live her life is -- you know, i'm touched by it. i'm touched by it. because i know now she did what she did, leaving in the way that she did, because she had to protect her daughter, which, in a way, connects us now. and because -- >> because part of what you did

was to protect your daughter. >> right. because i didn't want my daughter to choose the church, ultimately, which is what i felt i would be raising was that. you choose your church. which so many families do in these kind of extremist religions. >> i bet there's a lot you would like to say to katie. >> yes, yes. it's because we both left that we're able to have this kind of grace towards each other. because, we're back to being human. >> really, really powerful. and emotional. just so raw. coming up, we asked her more. the biggest difference between her life now and then. and whether or not she's still religious. it's very interesting stuff. you can read all about it in her book, "troublemaker," which is out tomorrow. >> such a revealing interview. thank you, amy. coming up, a new headline on kids and car seats. how the rear-facing seats could

put kids at risk. of head injury. and up next, the chipotle health alert. more than 20 people sick. after the e. coli outbreak. our dr. richard besser, as you can see, standing by. come on back. you see this look on my face? sfx: growling that's not anger, that's hunger. so i'm gonna have a snack to make me feel better

people think californians live in our own reality. with our heads in the clouds. like a bunch of space cadets. huh? what? i've drawn a blank. what's my line? [director]: reset! maybe we do live in a fantasy... ...in our own little bubble. just hangin' out! as if we're not completely down to earth. but just a bunch of dreamers? no way! we're just like everyone else. you know, average joes.

we're back now with the serious health scare involving chipotle. the fast food chain closing dozens of restaurants. health investigate an e. coli outbreak. neal karlinsky has the story for us. >> reporter: this morning, doors are indefinitely closed at more than 40 chipotle restaurants. the popular mexican food chain taking the step after an e. coli outbreak sickens more than 20 people. some hospitalized. would-be patrons greeted with this message. fyi, we're closed due to a supply chain issue. today, officials fear those numbers will go up. >> we know that people can still become ill. even if the risk is no longer

present because the incubation period can be up to ten days. >> reporter: over the weekend, 3 people in portland and 19 outside seattle got sick. eight had to be hospitalized. >> it feels like your guts are being ripped out. >> reporter: when questioned, most, not all, victims said they ate at chipotle. >> we believe a food item is the cause. of these infections. >> reporter: even though chipotle can't be directly linked to the outbreak, they said they immediately and voluntarily shuttered all 43 locations in washington and oregon. out of 1700 restaurants nationwide. saying in a statement, the safety and well-being of our customers is always the highest priority. even though the vast majority of the restaurants have no reported problems. for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, seattle. >> our thanks to neal. dr. richard besser is here with

from your days back at the cdc you were a disease detective. what are investigators looking for? >> you have federal, state, and locals jumping on this. they'll do a number of studies. test the food from the restaurants. can they find the e. coli? does it match the e. coli from the patients? the coolest study is they'll give everyone who was sick a questionnaire and a menu. they'll tick off everything they ate. they'll give the same questionnaire to the people there at the same time and see if there is a difference in the foods. often that can tell you the smoking gun. >> what foods may be the suspect? >> when i did this, it was almost always ground beef. it was beef for e-coli. there have been outbreaks from lettuce, from sprouts. from salsa. you have tomatoes, onions, parsley, cilantro. sometimes, you can say it was the salsa. not the key ingredient. >> that would be so challenging. >> really challenging because you want to go back to the farm and prevent this from happening in the future. coming up, the game-changing play by the miami hurricanes. leading to a firestorm, wouldn't you say, jesse? >> i would say so.

the play that won the hurricanes the game. now the refs are being flagged. that's ahead in our "speed feed." that's ahead in our speed feed. eat up, buddy. you'll get it this time. don't let go until i say so. i got you... start strong with the lasting energy of 100% whole grain quaker oats. and off you go. everyone needs a bff. even your smile. colgate optic white toothpaste goes beyond surface stains to whiten over 3 shades.
