good evening and welcome back to a special edition of "world news." in for diane, i'm david muir. as our teams track those two breaking stories tonight, right now israel launching a ground incursion in gaza, explosions lighting up the night sky. first this half-hour, those haunting images from the downed flight 17 vanishing near the border with russia. on the ground pieces of the fuselage, firefighters on the scene. we want to bring you up to date at this hour. here are the latest headlines. 298 souls on board malaysia flight 17. it was traveling from amsterdam to kuala lumpur. disappearing over ukraine near the russian border. tonight u.s. officials say they know what brought that jet down, a boeing 777, one of the most reliable planes in the world. abc's chief investigative

correspondent brian ross now with the latest on the investigation. >> reporter: with the rebels controlling the crash scene, the investigation of what happened and why is already facing serious questions and obstacles that could create a showdown with russia. even that dramatic footage of the moment of impact is being questioned as u.s. officials point fingers of blame at the pro-russian rebels. they ask who happened to have a camera rolling at the precise direction and time the plane was blown out of the sky bursting into flames. almost immediately the pro-russian rebels moved in to secure and take control of the crash scene and the debris field that stretches over ten miles. a gruesome landscape littered with pieces of malaysian flight 17. remains and personal belongings of the 295 on board. a tourist guide to bali unscathed. at the scene was john wendell, a freelance reporter for abc news. >> reporter: there's blood splattered everywhere and pieces

of remains. >> reporter: tonight the rebels claim they have recovered the plane's critical black box data and voice recorders and will send it to moscow. u.s. officials say there is evidence the plane was shot down. >> shot down, not an accident. blown out of the sky. >> reporter: hours after the crash, the ukrainian government posted what were described as audio intercepts of the rebels, first reporting that a military plane had been shot down. then a short while later, one of the recorded militants says it was a civilian plane, spouting profanities as he describes the bodies and belongings, saying there was no sign at all that it was a military plane. u.s. officials say the working theory is that an older model surface to air surface-to-air missile was fired at the malaysian by rebels who thought they had targeted a ukrainian military aircraft.

in fact, in the last four days, the rebels had shot down two ukrainian military aircraft. tonight a senior intelligence official cautioned that the u.s. still does not have smoking gun quality evidence that links the crash to a missile or to the rebels. it might turn out that way. they said they can't prove it yet. there's always the question of terrorism in a case like this. so far no indication of that. >> i wanted to go back to something we were talking about earlier. there had been restrictions on air space not far from there. why was this jet allowed to fly through this dangerous region? >> that's an important question. there was a restriction planes could not fly below 32,000 feet. they flew at 32,000 feet so just 1,000 feet over the restricted area. this is over a war zone where in the last four days who planes had been shot down. the airlines says there was no restriction and they felt safe. >> a lot of people scratching their heads. i want to get back to abc's

chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz tonight. how was the u.s. able to quickly to conclude that this plane was, in fact, shot down? >> reporter: david, there are u.s. intelligence satellites that are capable of detecting a surface-to-air missile launch. the military satellites are designed to look for a length of burn time and lateral movement. the u.s. could have used a combination to determine a missile launch. these satellites along with a multitude of radar platforms in europe, ground based and airborne, would have easily spotted a surface-to-air missile launch. >> martha raddatz leading off this half-hour along with brian. so many people wondering about passenger planes flying through dangerous skies. we want to bring in aviation expert john nance with us. john, is it common, you were a commercial pilot yourself, to be warned when flying over dangerous zones like this one?

>> only to a certain extent when you're not in the military. the airlines look out for themselves. why did the european agency permit them to fly over this zone. i think there was a gross insufficientsy of understanding of how hot that zone was. >> a big part of this story tonight. i wanted to ask you about what the pilot might have been able to detect in that cockpit. we heard about the cloud cover in the last 24 hours, it might have been impossible to see missile coming. can you hear it when you're on a commercial plane? >> david, you're a sitting duck. you have absolutely no way of knowing something like that is coming up at you. you've got no threat alert in the cockpit as steve ganyard said earlier. he's a fighter pilot. this is what you have in fighters. we don't have that in commercial airlines. >> john nance and stephen ganyard, thanks to you both. the last civilian airplane to be shot down by a missile happened over ukraine in 2001. you might remember that the u.s. military downed an iranian flight back in 1988. civilians caught in the middle of the conflict.

let's turn right now to abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl tonight. >> reporter: if confirmed, it's not the first time a commercial airliner has been caught in the crossfire of a conflict, killing hundreds of innocent civilians. it's not the first time the white house has had to deal with the consequences. >> it looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. >> reporter: on july 3, 1988 a missile fired from a u.s. navy ship brought down an iranian airliner with 290 people on board as it flew over the persian gulf. the uss vincennes has been exchanging gunfire that day and mistakenly took the airbus for an iran be fighter jet. five years before that in september of 1983, a russian jet fighter shot down a korean plane with 269 passengers on board, the plane, a boeing 747, had excellently strayed into then soviet air space. one of the passengers was a u.s. congressman.

the soviet government first denied involvement and later claimed the plane was spying on them. >> the similarities are very strong. in both of those cases there had been something else going on in the area the day before. so it's possible that people on both sides of the border, russia and ukraine, were thinking this was not a passenger plane but thinking it was a military plane. >> it's important to get to the bottom of this sooner or later because the possible repercussions that can flow from this beyond the tragic loss of life. >> reporter: as tragic as that loss of life is as you heard from vice-president biden there, the concern here in the white house is that what happens next could be even worse if those repercussions could include a much wider conflict. as was the case with both the downing of that iranian passenger jet and the korean passenger jet in the 1980s, what you're about to see, david, is some very high stakes diplomacy. >> concern about the ripple effect around the world.

mt. you and i were talking about the black boxes earlier, a tug of war, those who recovered it saying they would turn it over the russia. ukraine saying it should stay there. the white house weighing in on that, too. there's also concern about tampering with those black boxes? >> reporter: look, there was a firm statement out of the white house today saying that all that evidence needs to remain on ukrainian territory, should not be touched, should not be tampered with until international investigators have been able to get on the ground and have been able to conduct their investigation. the concern right now, david, is that that territory is effectively in the control of ukrainian pro-russian rebels and that those, as you've heard them directly say, martha raddatz reporting, they are claiming they've already found the black boxes and have shipped them off to russia. u.s. officials don't know if that's actually true but the message to russia is leave all of that material, all of the evidence in ukraine until international investigators are able to look at it first. >> that's the big question, have they been shipped already. jon karl, our thanks to you.

of course today's disaster in ukraine has so many people thinking about their own safety in the air. two catastrophes involving the same airline just this year. abc's senior national correspondent jim avila on a very difficult year for aviation. >> reporter: for every heroic save like captain sully sullenberger's engine-less landing in the hudson river after a bird strike, there are disasters in the air. still, last year, 2013, was the second safest year in history when it comes to deadly plane crashes. 29 in all worldwide with 265 deaths. the last fatal airline crash in the states was this asiana 777 in san francisco just over a year ago. three passengers killed when the pilots landed short of the runway, a hard landing, bouncing the tail section off the fuselage. it was ruled pilot error, nothing wrong with the plane. in 2009 a similar story for air

france 447, the jumbo jet crashing into the atlantic after the pilot misread an instrument. all 228 passengers and crew were killed. aviation consultant john nance says pilots relying too much on instruments is the biggest problem in an otherwise safe industry. >> that's why the asiana accident last year was so infuriating. three people on there were systems operators and not pilots. >> reporter: the planes themselves rarely fall. the most recent international incident was last month and it wasn't a crash. two crew members and one passenger were hit by bullets on landing at the airport in pakistan. one later died. the real mystery remains the other malaysian flight, 370 that disappeared between kuala lumpur and beijing, all 239 souls on board still missing and presumed dead as well as the plane and any answers. and now a second malaysian 777

brought down. >> it does look a little like things are coming apart. you have to remember there are 93,000 commercial flights over the earth every day. >> reporter: suddenly the safest way to travel looking less so on this dark day. jim avila, abc news, washington. we want to go back to amsterdam tonight where that plane took off. and abc's lama hasan has been following the story of those heartbroken families waiting for official word. what more do we know? >> reporter: david, you can imagine how difficult it is for those families as they wait to find out more information. when we were walking through those terminals behind me, at amsterdam schiphol airport, there's a sense of eeriness. it's empty, quiet, palpable. you can feel it. of course the families were here earlier today trying to gather as much information as possible. here's what we know at this hour. most of the passengers were dutch nationals, but of course officials are still trying to go through the passenger list, so there are still dozens of

unidentified nationalities and unidentified passengers at this hour. again, you can just imagine how difficult it is for those families as they wait for word, as they wait for more information, david. >> abc's lama hasan reporting again in this half-hour. thank you. we turn now to the other breaking story and this comes from the middle east, the ground incursion by israeli forces right now under way in gaza, already explosions lighting up the night sky, the pictures coming in. abc's alex marquardt is in gaza where those israeli troops are on the ground. >> reporter: good evening, david. all night israel has been pummeling the gaza strip from the sea, from the air, with tanks around the border. benjamin netanyahu said israeli troops would be going into gaza and accused hamas of violating today's five-hour cease-fire and said they continued to carry out aggression against israel by firing rockets.

the mission, netanyahu said, is to take out hamas tunnels that the group uses to launch attacks against israel. he said the mission could be expanded, and so far more than 60,000 reserve troops have been called up. israel and hamas have been talking about a cease-fire through intermediaries and it's clear that the coming days and possibly longer will be dominated by heavy fighting. >> alex, thank you. much more ahead on this special edition of "world news" on a thursday night, the brazen bank heist, hostages used as human shields, bullets flying detour a high speed chase. tonight the mother caught in the middle and what her family is saying now. also the flash floods, the drivers rescued from their cars, and the town that was able to fight back against the rush of water. of course much more on today's breaking news, our coverage of the disaster in the sky, malaysia flight 17.

we're back now with our one-hour special edition of "world news." tonight a deadly drama right here at home, a bank robbery that ended with hostages, including a mother caught in a high speed car chase, and tonight the difficult ending. abc's brandi hitt with more. >> we are taking fire, taking fire. >> reporter: a high speed shoot-out across three cities with three hostages caught in

the crossfire. >> left rear passenger is a hostage. >> reporter: at 2:11 wednesday afternoon police say the armed men entered this bank of the west in stockton, california. officers responding within just one minute of the robbery. the gunman taking off with two employees and a customer hostage. >> they used them as shields during a tense standoff and then they got into a vehicle. >> reporter: the customer, misty holtz singh, her 12-year-old daughter watching in horror from the parking lot. >> she left her kid in the car, goes inside. whatever happened, happened. her daughter has to text her husband saying, hey, they took mom. >> reporter: police say the gunman armed with multiple handguns and an ak-47 type rifle weren't just after cash. they wanted to kill people. >> it's very rare for them to so heavily arm themselves and prepare to kill and actively and continually try to kill our police officers. >> reporter: during the chase police say two of the hostages

were tossed or jumped from the speeding vehicle, one with a gunshot wound. >> they just dropped a hostage on the ground. >> reporter: an hour later it all ended inside this bullet-ridden vehicle. >> there were hundreds of gunshots. i've never heard anything crazy like that. >> reporter: two of the accused gunman dead and 19-year-old jaime ramos arrested. hostage misty holtz-singh was killed, too. officers say the robbers used the mother of two as a human shield. her family believes police could have saved her. >> they had the opportunity to lay down tire tracks and if they would have laid down the tracks around ended it then, i wouldn't have a dead cousin. >> reporter: 14 police cars, several homes and civilian vehicles were also hit by spray bullets during the shoot-out. officers say it's surprising no one else was seriously hurt. >> thank you. when we come back here on "world news" this evening, the severe weather hitting tonight, the flash floods rushing through towns, massive walls of water. and the one town that learned how to fight back, the one thing they did saving lives tonight.

we're going to turn now to the weather tonight and the new threat of flash floods in the west, weather moving from one extreme to another really from wildfires and bone dry lands to towns washed away by walls of water. here's abc's clayton sandell tonight. >> reporter: the dallas area today got served texas-sized traffic nightmares. nearly a foot of rain in just six hours near valley view. drivers had to be rescued.

others abandoned their cars. flooded roads shut traffic down for miles. at this store, you had to slosh to shop. >> another round of it, so it may be pointless to even start cleaning at this point. >> reporter: they are cleaning up in colorado tonight. rain-flooded streets and soaked restaurants. hail blasted car windows. >> lost my back window. >> reporter: sirens warned people to get to higher ground. this really gives you an idea of the power of water. yesterday this channel was empty. there was only dirt here. but the flood waters brought all of these giant boulders and rocks down stream. some of them were as big as cars. this was manitou springs a year ago. this time the waters were tamed by a $4 million project that's not even finished yet, including this 20-foot high wall, meant to steer the deluge away from neighborhoods.

>> we're extremely happy. considering that the project is not completely built and what it did last night in protecting homes. >> reporter: that was good news to nellie and john webster. they've watched their town endure a few too many fires and floods and mud slides. >> the last three years. >> a couple years have been really humdingers. >> reporter: we may be drying out here in colorado but tonight there are still flash flood watches in parts of texas, oklahoma and arkansas. david? there's a state of emergency in the pacific northwest as two dozen wildfires rage across the region. nearly 900 homes evacuated, another 800 threatened, the flames fed by high temperatures and high winds. fires are burning in nevada, idaho, utah, oregon and california tonight. we turn to washington and general motors back in the hot seat. at a senate hearing there were

recent, "30 rock," the domineering mom of alec baldwin. >> you knew? >> it's florida, jack! it's like it never stopped being the '70s down there. >> laughing already. elaine stritch was 89. great to see her smile there. when we come back, more on the news of the malaysian flight 17 and the story behind this image, the growing memorial for . we'll be back right after the break.
