in just hours trapping dozens of people on the road. ginger tracking it all. >> it's not just the amount of rain. it's how fast it falls. and you get scenes like this. a school bus, children still on it stuck in the water. thankfully, they all got out. but there was deadly flash flooding from texas to mississippi. flash flooding inundating the deep south this morning. at least four inches of rain falling fast, washing out roads in just a few hours. in san angelo, texas -- >> dispatch, this vehicle is completely under the water. >> reporter: at least 20 water rescues. >> we're going to try to get these people out of this car and we'll bring them up to the ambulance. >> reporter: farther west in pecos, texas, rapid-fire golf ball-sized hail. deadly flash flooding stretching east. 24 hours of water rescues from texas to vicksburg, mississippi. and in ruston, louisiana, rising waters sweeping a car away. the 11-year-old inside, killed. but a 7-year-old escaping, clinging to a tree for an hour

before being rescued. the biggest issues this morning happening around san angelo, texas. they're in a flash flood watch all the way up to wichita, kansas. so it's a large swath of the plains that have to be watching out, and that's not just through today. that is through the midweek and beyond, because the system will kind of bring more rain 3 to 4 inches right there in southern oklahoma, north texas. some spots could see another half foot. this is a big problem, and we've got hail and damaging winds in west texas as a probability this afternoon too. robin. >> i know you're keeping an eye on it, thank you, ginger. but now to the latest on that deadly gang shootout in texas. 170 bikers in custody this morning charged in connection with the bloody brawl that left 9 dead, 18 injured. there's fear of retaliation this morning. and abc's phillip mena is in waco with the latest. good morning, philip. >> reporter: robin, good morning. law enforcement here still very much on guard this morning. in the wake of the shooting, a statewide bulletin was issued stating gangs had an order to kill anyone in uniform.

this morning, newly released mug shots of some of the 170 bikers taken into custody after the shootout that left 9 dead and 18 injured at this texas restaurant. they appear to include members of the notorious bandidos, scimitars and cossacks biker gangs. this video shows the violence unfolding. violence starting in the restroom quickly spilling out into the parking lot. the bikers using brass knuckles, knives, chains, clubs, and guns. >> 170 individuals have been charged with engaging in organized crime in reference to a capital murder case at twin peaks. >> reporter: cops lining up the gang members on the curb loading them into buses and squad cars. each gang member being held on a $1 million bond. investigators were still processing the crime scene monday gathering evidence with snipers on the lookout. are you worried at all about possible retaliation? >> it's certainly something that we're aware of. >> reporter: edward winterhalder

live was a member of the feared bandidos for six years. >> they lost something in their childhood, and in the motorcycle gang, they find the sense of family they never had. >> reporter: he's written ten books on biker culture. he says for bikers, territory is everything. >> i think the potential for more violence is there. >> reporter: the bandidos have a saying, cut one, we all bleed. the ruthlessness featured on the show "gangland." >> if you pass us on the highway, that'd be a mistake. >> reporter: charles falco is a former atf contractor who took years to take out the gangs. he requested we not show his face. >> at least half are involved in some sort of constant criminal activity. >> reporter: according to the department of justice, there are more than 300 so-called outlaw motorcycle gangs across the country with thousands of members. but the bandidos along with four other biker gangs are classified as a serious national domestic threat, the feds say, involved in everything from drug trafficking to prostitution.

two big questions this morning. how will prosecutors try all 170 people in custody? and will they pursue the death penalty? george. >> okay, philip, thanks very much. we're going to turn now to the major military victory for isis. the terror group on the move in iraq, taking control of the key city of ramadi where hundreds of civilians and soldiers have been killed in fierce fighting. you see this new video right here showing trapped officials being rescued. martha raddatz is covering the offensive from washington. martha, u.s. officials can see this is a setback. what is the plan to take the city back? >> george, this will require not jose alvarez only more intensive u.s. air strikes, but iraq is turning to iran for help on the ground. there are iranian-backed militias heading for ramadi. we were there with iraqi forces in al anbar just a few months ago when they were trying to push isis fighters back, but today isis flags are flying in ramadi.

the streets are now deserted. and there are reports of mass executions of iraqi forces and tribal fighters. that new video this morning really says it all. the iraqi security forces who survived had to be rescued by those helicopters and returned to base. they are clearly not ready for this fight, and the u.s. is going to have to figure out a new strategy to make this work. george, one senior military officer telling me, it's as bad as you are hearing, probably worse in some areas. george? >> my goodness. they're not sugar-coating it at all. okay martha thanks very much. >> they are tea really not, okay, george. now to the race for the president and hillary clinton. the state department announcing it may not release her private e-mails from when she was secretary of state until early next year, just days before the iowa caucus. abc's cecilia vega is on the clinton campaign trail and joins us now from cedar falls, iowa. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you.

these are those state department e-mails that hillary clinton wrote from her personal e-mail account. you will weather theremember the controversy that launched just when she launched her presidential bid. she said she would release them from her private servers, 50,000 pages of e-mails. we're talking about that many. the state department may not release those e-mails until january 2016. that is just a couple of weeks before the iowa caucuses. that would be -- this is a key early voting state, one that hillary clinton wants to win, really wants to win. she's campaigning hard out here. robin, you can bet the timing of this release will raise some serious questions out here on this campaign trail. >> and, cecilia, the other big question seems to be when hillary clinton will take questions from the press. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. we saw her out here yesterday in iowa. we tried to ask some questions. she just waved to us from afar. 28 days, by our count, since she's taken a media question. just nine questions so far. robin, republicans having a field day with this. she's got another avent today.

we'll try again today, robin. >> you'll be on the trail with her. all right, cecilia thank you very much. we move on to the latest on the deadly amtrak derailment. fbi investigators have ruled out a gun as a cause for that damaged windshield raising new questions about the possibility that human error caused the crash. abc's david kerley has the story. >> reporter: on the partially shattered windshield of amtrak 188, that small circular fracture was not caused by a bullet. fbi forensic analysts now saying they found no damage that could have been caused by a firearm. this after an assistant conductor said she thought she heard the engineer talk about being hit by a rock or shot at before the derailment. but there were no recordings no mention to dispatchers. this morning, the ntsb will determine if the windshield was hit by something else. those investigators will also have to determine why the eight-car train accelerated to more than 100 miles an hour before a 50-mile-an-hour curve. we know that speed and applying the brakes at the last moment caused the derailment, but why the sudden acceleration? the data recorder may reveal if

the throttle was manually increased, possible human error. and experts will be going through the engine to look at the other prime possibility, that the acceleration was caused by a mechanical failure. the ntsb says it could be up to a year before it can determine the probable cause of the derailment which claimed eight lives. it really is about the speed and that acceleration. that's why investigators will now be poring through all that data and the hope robin, is that the engineer whose lawyer says he suffered a concussion, that some of his memory will come back as he heals from those wounds. robin. >> that is, indeed, the hope. david, thank you. now to dangers on the racetrack. just days before the indianapolis 500, another serious crash during practice monday, bringing the total to four in the past week. indycar is taking action now to make sure the race is safe. and abc's matt gutman has the latest on that. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. those indycars hurtle around the track at a speed faster than a jetliner takes off.

and just two weeks before the biggest event in motorsports, the indy 500 organizers actually increased the speed of those cars, something they have now put the brakes on. overnight, indycar investigating four airborne crashes days before the most watched race in the world, the indianapolis 500. this morning, james hinchcliffe is in stable condition recovering from surgery after this nasty crash monday afternoon. watch as he comes around a turn during a practice run on the indianapolis motor speedway. you see his wheels lock. he skids at about 220 miles per hour into the wall, flames shooting out of his car, tires sent flying. his crash, the fourth in less than a week on this track. three-time indy 500 winner helio castroneves turning a backflip during his terrifying wreck last wednesday. >> didn't have enough time. and the car spun out. >> reporter: a day later josef newgarden also sent soaring.

we spoke to driver ed carpenter about it saturday. >> it's been quite a different year this year with all new aero kits and a lot of changes to the cars. >> reporter: but a day later carpenter's car went flipping as well. abc news learned that each of these crashes was caused by something different like a flat tire or a setup error. but one thing they all had in common, those aero kits, extra trim added by each car's team to all of those vehicles just in the past two weeks modifying the shane of those wings and fins designed to make the cars go faster. analysts wondering if that added faster design may have caused the cars to flip. >> when the cars turn around and go backwards after a crash, they're getting airborne. >> reporter: now indycar ordering all cars to reduce their horsepower and to modify the car's design to keep them slower. but perhaps what's most shocking about those crashes is that nobody was seriously hurt. and over the years, indycar technology has helped keep drivers safe and safer, including creating suits like

this. this is a fire suit that can help keep a driver safe and not burn for ten precious seconds even in a 2,000-degree gasoline fire. robin. >> matt, makes so much of a difference, thank you. now to amy with the other top developing stories right now starting with a group of airport workers under arrest this morning. good morning. federal agents say they have uncovered a drug-smuggling ring involving baggage handlers at oakland's airport. three are accused of shipping marijuana since 2012 using their security badges to speak carry-on luggage containing marijuana into terminals for outbound passengers. in all, 14 people are charged in the case. and breaking news from london police making several arrests in connection with the $300 million jewel heist. the burglars drilled this massive hole to access the vault. hamish macdonald has the details. hamish good morning. >> reporter: amy, good morning. the authorities have been tracking this heist since easter when it occurred and said it was

possible the robbers had already fled the country making it very difficult to track them down. but now this news of seven arrests in and around london after raids on 12 addresses, it also netted significant quantities of high value goods. it took place over the easter weekend. this team allegedly went in using heavy drilling machinery to smash through a concrete wall and get to the jewels. now, among those arrested a 76-year-old man, but police are also saying that they're apologizing for the role in all this. they did not follow the proper protocol and did not respond properly or quickly enough. >> hamish thank you. 58 have been killed after rains triggered a landslide sweeping away homes in colombia. the death toll could rise sharply once water resides. and a wild escape attempt in los angeles. three burglary suspects fled and from police crashing into a car before taking off and

pulling into a driveway and ran on foot. two of them tried to jump from roof to roof. one hiding behind a garage. but as what usually happens, police eventually took all three into custody. and a florida bank robber didn't get too far with his loot. watch as a customer chases him down. moments later, even tying him up for police. turns out that customer is a mixed martial arts fighter who just happened to be in line during the burglary. finally, if you're ever walking down the street and run into a bear, you may want to do what this guy did or maybe not. he was hunting in sweden. watch what he did when the bear appeared to charge at him. [ man roaring ] yep, that's him roaring at the top of his lungs making his hands really big, and he's certainly facing one of the most ferocious animals on the planet. but thankfully for this guy, that bear fled. we're not sure what the hunter's plan b was and we're also not sure why he had a camera rolling. >> yes. >> but you know what, this is a nice tidbit of information some locals claim scandinavian brown bears are

shy, which exactly looks to be the case. >> we did the story last week where they said not to run. turns out it's right. >> you make yourself big. >> and we all agreed we would be in the fetal position. >> but thankfully he's okay. >> now we know what to do. >> what do you have for us, lara? >> robin, a terrific story this morning. a real-life superhero in this army captain caught on camera racing to the rescue after a fiery car crash. three people trapped inside the burning vehicles. and abc's t.j. holmes is here with the story for us. good morning, t.j. >> apparently lara, you do not need an "s" on your chest to save the day. this guy took on this scenario, no mask, no cape, no superpowers and as you're about to see in this video, the phrase good samaritan really does not do him justice. a community's act of heroism caught on camera. take a look at this. three people trapped were inside these cars after a fiery head-on crash. one car going up in flames sunday afternoon in chatham county, north carolina, after

police say one of the drivers crossed the center line and hit another car with two passengers. neighbors jumping into action even before firefighters got there. [ sirens ] >> knock that car out of the way. watch out, watch out! >> reporter: one guy using a fire extinguisher to smash the window to get to the people trapped inside. the guy in that red t-shirt is a soldier from nearby ft. bragg. he eventually drags william thompson, one of the victims, away from the flames. >> i grabbed one of those fire extinguishers. we smashed out the back window and the driver's side window. from there i grabbed mr. thompson. i took him to a safe distance. >> reporter: but army captain steve voglezon wasn't done yet. >> there's somebody still in the car. >> reporter: running back into the inferno to retrieve thompson's wife. >> if i wasn't a soldier i wouldn't know what to do. the army has helped a lot. >> reporter: and the red t-shirt he was wearing at the time of the rescue it's a captain america t-shirt. but voglezon says he's no

superhero. >> i was just at the right place at the right time, at least ten to bind us together to help save people's lives. >> no, i didn't make up the t-shirt part but you're going to love this guy. he say he wants everybody else -- it was a group effort. he wants everybody to come forward. it wasn't just about me. i want everybody to come get the attention. it's kind of an avengers coming together here. >> yes. >> exactly. so humble. so humble. >> he's great. he's great. >> thanks, t.j. back to ginger. look at the fog across the northeast. >> yeah, and, robin, you were saying, delays as of last night. delays as of this morning. an hour at laguardia. some in philadelphia. look, that's midtown manhattan. can't see much. and now we've got also a picture from philly. from the airport and that's going to show you it's not looking good there, either. so do check ahead because you may be delayed or worse. anyway that's the big picture.

>> reporter: for 21 years, lydia wayman knew she was different. doctors and psychologists couldn't explain why. then during her seennior year in college, a friend noticed something unusual about lydia that helped her finally get the answers she needed. for 27-year-old lydia wayman, life has been a series of hard-won battles since childhood. >> i got overwhelmed around other kids. i was frustrated a lot, too. because food and tags in clothes and crowds and fireworks. so many things were hard. but i really wasn't able to communicate it when i was really little so i just cried. >> she would just refuse to eat. i would mention it to the pediatrician. and he would say, you know, it's not unusual. they can be very picky eaters. >> reporter: doctors eventually put her on medication for anxiety and depression. >> i have heard everything from she's stubborn. she's a manipulator, personality disorder. >> reporter: but what lydia's doctors missed and her family didn't know, she was on the autism spectrum. while we don't yet know the

number of adults that go undiagnosed, today, 1 in 68 children are on the autism spectrum. it's the fastest growing developmental disorder in the united states. the one area she excelled, academics. but teachers said she was lazy. >> and she just seemed incapable of keeping things organized. >> reporter: it wasn't until lydia was 21 and a senior in college that a friend, recognizing the symptoms, suggested she be evaluated for autism. shortly after lydia was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. >> it's easy for me to get a diagnosis like that to wallow but i'm the same person i always was. >> reporter: why did it take so long for her to be diagnosed? >> years ago, the prevalence wasn't as great. and i think that in some cases, there wasn't as much awareness. and so clinicians may not have been able to diagnose as easily. >> and in that blog that lydia writes for autism speaks, she says of her experience -- while autism does mean that i am absorbed within myself that doesn't mean that i don't want

you around. if you can come to me, i would love to let you in. there's a whole world in here. maybe you should check it out. >> wow. >> okay, jesse, thanks. we have dr. richard besser here. let's talk about this key moment when her friend realized she was unusually bothered by bright lights. why was that so important? >> it's the concept of sensory overload. and let me show you what is like. jesse will put on these virtual reality headsets and look at video clips from the group autism speaks. and it gives you a sense of what the experience is like for someone who is hypersensitive to sound and to light where they're all amplified. they go through life with that kind of experience. now, when you think about autism there is a spectrum so there's some people in the higher end where all they may experience is difficulty with social interaction. and people on the other end of that spectrum who are so disabled they have difficulty talking. for lydia, the intensity of

light was the clue that she had had that hypersensitiveity that you see. >> your heart went out to her hearing from her mother all these things they thought about her and here, all along she was on the spectrum. so how do you know? is there any way you can be certain? >> yeah, it's hard. it's not like diabetes where you can go in and they do a blood test and they tell you this is what you have. doctors will do a checklist. but you can go online. if you're struggling and wondering, you can go on beline and take a quiz and get a sense of the kinds of questions they'll ask. here are three things you need to react to. the first statement -- i get extremely upset when the way i like to do things is suddenly changed. the next one, some ordinary textures that do not bother others feel very offensive when they touch my skin. and the third one, it's difficult for me to understand how other people are feeling when we're talking. so, you know, if you take these kind of quizzes or are concerned, see your doctor. and they can sort out whether this applies to you. >> and dr. b. just want to check in with you. what was that like, jesse? >> just like he said. sensory overload. the light was piercing.

it was if i had to squint to look around. the noise was so overwhelming. and i thought when people were looking at me it was as if they were looking through me or judging me so i would say more than anything, a real feeling of anxiety just having gone through that experience. absolutely. yeah. >> and watching the video can give you the empathy and compassion and will help us all interact. >> i'm sure people are going to have a lot more questions. you'll take them all morning on twitter? >> i will. >> great. we're going to switch gears in a major way and get to last night's "bachelorette." it was double the drama on the season premiere. last not, not one, but two women greeting prospective husbands at the mansion. the men voting on who should stay. and juju has a look behind the scenes at how the search for love all went down. >> reporter: millions of fans tuning in for the kickoff of this season's "bachelorette." and we were there too filming the action behind the action, a side you have never seen before. >> knock, knock. >> who's there? >> two bachelorettes. >> two bachelorettes who? >> that's the joke.

[ laughter ] >> reporter: that's right. two bachelorettes. and a surprise cliff-hanger leaving fans holding their breath. which women will the men choose? kaitlyn or britt? it seems like the country has divided into team kaitlyn and team britt. >> it's such a bizarre thick. yes. i try to not think about that. >> reporter: we were granted unprecedented access to the super secret set. >> this is the best. this is the scene you don't see this way. see how glamorous this is? >> reporter: the entire crew. the eye kongic mansion outside l.a. literally transformed into a hollywood set. >> if you came here three days ago, there's very little of this. >> reporter: inside, the ceilings are gridded with dozens of studio lights. finding love while dating multiple men on tv. really? there are people at home going, come on. >> i don't know. i think people believe in this show. obviously, i do. >> reporter: you're not a paid actress. >> no. >> reporter: you're not being told what to say and what to do? >> no. i think you can tell. you get 25 big personalities in the room, you don't get a script.

as much as you want to make fun of the show or the premise, it's impossible, it's not impossible. it has. it's worked many times over. >> you know, i also got to meet five of the batch colorchelorbachelors. a welder from idaho. an ivy league headhunter from l.a. a single dad from detroit. a trainer from california. and what do they all have in common? >> what. >> they ooze charm. big personalities. >> and? >> all right. they're easy on the eyes. exactly. just saying. >> and just saying this. chris harrison is with us, everybody, in our next half hour with more on the big premiere. right now, we need to head outside with ginger and the weather. >> yeah, we do. i have a message. alyssa will be late for work because she's spending the morning here with us. just to let boss know. all right. and my new friend from tennessee, we have to check in on the freeze warnings and frost advisory. that's right. places like northern michigan. even though grand haven is a little south of those warnings. going to get very cold. chicago has been in the 80s and 70s.
