they're not able to reach the arresting police department and the fbi is unaware that roof had allegedly admitted to the crime, a crucial fact that should have prevented him from getting the gun. by law the fbi has three days to stop a gun sale. on april 16th with no word from the fbi, dylann roof is sold the the 45 caliber glock and two months later nine african-american worshippers are shot dead at charleston's emanuel ame church. fbi director james comey now saying we wish we could turn back time. the fbi's painful admission coming down just hours after the confederate flag did. the result of a heated debate sparked by the shooting in charleston. the polarizing symbol no longer flying at the state capitol in south carolina. >> it wasn't just about heritage, it was about hate. >> reporter: the president tweeting "the removal is a signal of good will and healing and a meaningful step towards a

in that explosion. and back here at home, a surge in gas prices out west. right now, the average price for a gallon of regular in california is $3.58. that is up 14 cents in just a week. that is a stark contrast to gas prices nationwide, which are holding steady an average of $2.76 a gallon for regular. lower inventory following the exxonmobil refinery explosion this spring in california may be to blame for the prices out there going so high so fast. gasbuddy.com is also predicting that prices in the west could climb another 30 cents in the next week. keep an eye on that, rachel. >> yeah, absolutely. and finally, los angeles is known, of course, for traffic backups, but here's a twist. one driver backing up as in driving backwards. watch this, a stunned motorist capturing this on his cell phone. the driver of the audi zipping in reverse along laurel canyon boulevard -- rachel, you know it well -- known for its windy

roads as oncoming cars whiz by and the reckless driver -- we don't have to say allegedly, do we? >> no. >> we have video evidence. >> crossing over the double yellow lines many times for more than two miles. >> two miles he drove like that? >> yeah, just like that. >> wow! >> i'm kind of impressed by that actually. >> you know, it is -- >> really impressive. >> but the police are not impressed. they have only to go on the dealer plates and they are contacting the dealership to find out who that person is. that person's going to pay a price for that. >> and now that we've expressed how impressed we are, we're going to be charged as accessories. >> yeah. >> exactly. >> thanks for that one. >> glad he had a camera. i mean that would be even more impressive. >> don't try that, rachel. >> it's hard enough driving forward on that road. >> fair enough. i've driven that road, as well. we're going to move on now. we've been hearing from the sisters who managed to survive for days in the wilderness of wyoming. there they are. there was a massive search and rescue set in motion after these sisters went missing, and we're

a time like that, that always makes you feel good. >> reporter: rescuers finally arrived thursday by air. >> when i saw the sight as we landed in the helicopter, i realized that there was no way people were going to give up on the search, and that was something that, you know, crossed my mind a couple of times. >> reporter: but before their next camping trip, their father has some advice. >> tell us where you're going. that would be really helpful. >> reporter: for "good morning america," clayton sandell, abc news, jackson hole, wyoming. >> what a remarkable story. we want to turn now to a horrific crash that is raising new concerns about your safety on the road and on the rails. this collision, which was all caught on dash cam, taking place right before the driver's eyes saying he was shocked to see those railroad crossing gates, well, they never went down, and the train pummeled into that truck. abc's mary bruce is in queens, new york, this morning where that frightening crash took place. good morning, mary. >> reporter: hey, paula, good morning. this is a busy crossing. in fact, in just the last decade, there have been more than a dozen accidents here, the latest one, almost unimaginable.

a terrifying collision on the track. >> i thought it was going to be big explosion. >> reporter: caught on dash cam video, a freight train slamming into a tractor trailer early wednesday morning in queens, new york. look closely, the rail guard arms are up. and those warning lights don't come on until just seconds before the train plows through the crossing and into the big rig. the truck driver with the dash cam witnessed the horrifying moment. >> you can see clearly the gate was up. all signal lights, they were not working. >> reporter: but this isn't the first time we've seen these dangerous lapses. >> emergency, struck a vehicle right there at the metro. >> reporter: last month in jacksonville, florida, this car was split in half by a passenger train after the safety gates failed to drop. >> when i turned around the back of the car wasn't there. >> reporter: and in march there were no gates in place at this kentucky crossing to stop this driver from getting into a fatal crash.

>> we have four patients, be advised they're all critical. >> reporter: with only 36% of public railway crossings equipped with safety gates, experts say drivers also need to be more alert. >> the message is that we have driver issues and we need education. we need awareness at crossings. >> reporter: it's hard to believe but amazingly this driver had only minor injuries and the train engineers were unharmed. other truck drivers tell us near misses here are frequent and that these gates often don't come down. investigators of this latest crash are now looking into these signals. dan and paula. >> but the good news there, nobody seriously hurt. we really appreciate your reporting this morning. mary, thank you. and we're going to make a turn now to a much happier story. in the words of our good friend robin roberts, new york city's canyon of heroes was transformed into the canyon of heroines. >> yes, and it was a beautiful sight. team usa, the women's world cup champs were celebrated. they were cheered and showered

>> those women are so cool and it must have been great for you as the mom of a young girl to be able to see these role models right there. >> i actually didn't tell her that i was going and i got home and she watched it on tv and said, mommy, why didn't you take me? >> why didn't you take her? >> i was running around. i probably would have lost her and it would have been bad. it would have ended poorly but i got to tell you, the weather was -- it couldn't have been any more beautiful, any more perfect. and on that note we want to send it over to cheryl scott. she's in for rob this morning. a big welcome to you, cheryl. >> thank you so much. so happy to be here. yesterday in new york city just prime weather for that parade so congrats to them. now we are looking at the threat of some severe storms but we do have some video for you. this is out in denver, coors field late last night at the baseball game, lots of lightning here. the fans were evacuated for a period of time right after the game ended, but they stuck around because after the thunder and lightning, they had a fireworks show, so the fans lucky there, they got two light show. now the severe risk for
