why was the pilot flying in bad conditions? showdown in the hawkeye state. both president trump and joe biden descending on iowa this morning. the amazing rescue caught on camera. six teens caught in a flash flood -- >> hold on, hold on tight! >> trapped in a storm drain, one dragged half a mile under the city. the fire chief risking his life to save them. breaking overnight, baseball legend david ortiz flown back to boston after being targeted by that gunman. now authorities searching for a second suspect. the latest on his condition. abc news exclusive. swept away. the young boy drifting to sea on a unicorn float. >> he doesn't really know how to swim. >> the moment he's finally rescued. now his family is speaking out right here on "gma." ♪ let it go ♪ let it go and can't hold it back anymore. the world exclusive premiere of the brand-new "frozen 2" trailer

just minutes away only on "gma." you have to imagine the warriors have a lot of mixed emotions, excited of course, keeping the series alive and kevin durant going down. >> yeah, a great game. a devastating injury for kevin durant. it was his first game back and he gets injured again. even warriors superfan drake, he was upset. he put the rivalry to the side and he comforted durant as he left the court. >> that was good to see. the warriors, my warriors, living to see another game. this is the scene outside oracle arena when they won. the series now heds -- heads back to oakland, the final game that will ever be played there. >> your warriors. i love that. >> yeah. >> it was a dramatic game. lots of drama coming down to the final shot. t.j. holmes is there for it all and is up early there in toronto. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. this was a thrilling, gutsy win for these golden state warriors. you hear me? they won, but after the game,

members of the warriors organization were literally in tears of sadness because kevin durant, who had fought his way back from injury and was making a comeback to try to help save his warriors' championship hopes, he goes down with what may be a worse injury than what was his original injury, and this left the entire arena stunned many was heartbreaking to see. it was a gut-wrenching sight that stunned players and fans alike. kevin durant, who hadn't played in a month because of a leg injury, went down again early in game five of the nba finals, grabbing the same injured leg. >> there's the play. right away, he knew it. >> reporter: coming into the game, intrigue and hope surrounded the warriors. just hours before the game, word came that durant would make a return and try to dig the warriors out of a 3-1 series deficit. he came out true to form, making his first three three-pointers,

was active on defense and jawed with raptors guard fred vanvleet. but on a move to the basket, it appeared he reinjured his leg. many in the crowd immediately cheered his injury. several raptors players offered their support, and gestured to the crowd to cut it out. the crowd eventually chanted k.d. as he was helped off the floor. warrior players were shaken seeing durant go down again. steph curry followed durant to the tunnel to give support. >> we know how hard it is to come back and we gave ourself a chance. game six is going to be fun. >> reporter: the warriors president of basketball operations was emotional addressing the k.d. injury. >> kevin had -- it's an achilles injury. i don't know the extent of it. he'll have an mri tomorrow. >> reporter: after durant went down, the warriors regrouped. in a drama-filled night in toronto, they fought like

champions. they were ahead by 14 at one point, and found themselves down by six with minutes to play and steph curry and klay thompson made back-to-back-to-back three-pointers and the warriors denied toronto a victory and fans their first ever nba title, for now. there will be, of course, some second guessing and some questions about if kevin durant should have been cleared to play at all. he had only gone through one practice the day before, before he got out there and gave it a go last night, and he looked good, but they're saying this injury is different from the original calf injury. they are saying this is an achilles injury, and this could be more than just a championship they're losing out on. durant could be out for a considerable amount of time, including into next season, depending on the extent of an achilles injury. these take some time to come

back from. >> he put his body on the line, guys. >> he certainly did. and the leads to the final game ever that's going to be played there in oracle. t.j., we're seeing the prices skyrocket for the last two games that were there. what does it look like now? >> yeah, games three and four, remember, somebody paid $93,000 for two tickets to game three, $101,000 for two tickets to game four. they know this is going to be the last warriors game in oracle. if you want to use that as your baseline, you can see it going even higher. >> i know, you'll be there. you'll be there, and you know what's free? you can watch game six right here on abc. it doesn't cost you anything. >> that's a bargain. >> 8:30 eastern here on abc thursday. it's going to be a heck of a game. all right, and we're going to turn now to the investigation into that deadly helicopter crash right here in new york city. the chopper slamming down on top of a building right in manhattan, killing the pilot on board. take a look at the scene on the roof. you can barely make out the chopper and the wreckage.

abc's gio benitez is outside the building with the latest. good morning, gio. >> reporter: michael, good morning to you. yeah, the weather right was a lot like it is right now, rainy and foggy. the big question for investigators, why was the helicopter in the air at all? this morning, ntsb investigators are working to understand how a helicopter ended up in flames at the top of a new york city high-rise. >> we felt the building shake, and then all of a sudden, we saw the debris falling off the side. i thought a plane hit the building. >> reporter: the chopper had taken off from the east river helipad at 1:32 p.m. this video shows a helicopter flying in the area just minutes earlier, at times erratically. officials cannot say definitively whether it's the doomed flight. moments later at 1:43, the deadly crash. these photos showing the wreckage. very little was left behind. nathan hutton was on the 29th floor. >> the only way i can describe it is like someone standing next to you and they give you a hard

shove and you're like, whoa, what's that? >> reporter: they rush down the stairs. >> what's going through your mind at that time? what are you thinking? >> everyone was, like, anxious and jittery in the staircase. now we're in the lobby, and they said, run. >> reporter: officials say there are no signs of terrorism but that's where many minds went. >> if you're a new yorker, you have a level of ptsd from 9/11. as soon as you hear an aircraft hit a building, my mind goes where new york's mind goes. >> reporter: the chopper was flying within faa restricted air space within a mile of trump tower. the pilot, the only fatality and the only person as board identified as tim mccormack, a volunteer firefighter. he spoke with our abc news affiliate in 2014 after ha

bird hit his windshield. >> a little bit of pandemonium, you try to gather yourself. >> reporter: those who knew him say he was a very experienced pilot, but this morning no word on how he ended up crash landing on the top of a building or why he was flying the chopper in such rainy and foggy weather. and incredibly, here on the ground, no injuries. in that building behind me, no injuries. i can tell you though, if that chopper had crashed here on these busy streets near times square, we would be having a very different discussion this morning, cecilia. >> you would hate to think about what could have happened. gio, thank you. we will turn to washington and weeks of negotiations and a major shift by the justice department, officials there agreeing to hand over key evidence found in special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation. our senior national correspondent, terry moran joins us from the white house. what do we know about the material that's being turned over? >> reporter: well, cecilia, this is some -- some of the most crucial material on the issue of obstruction of justice. this is material not in the mueller report. it's investigators' notes and interview transcripts, internal documents from the investigation

itself. it says a couple things. congress does hold some cards in this confrontation with the executive branch and president trump, and the executive branch, the white house doesn't see a lot to worry about from this investigation at this point, but i don't think this is going to make for peace between the two of them. today, the house will whether it is necessary to get more information. >> thank you. . >> this is the framing joe biden wants. he is in iowa with president trump, and that's the conversation he wants to have. and joe biden will take on the criticism that his campaign is really just a return to the past. president trump and democrats are saying that. biden will say i gather some people think it's a return to the past. i don't see it that way.

he will say i see it as embracing enduring values that have made america america. that is his answer to the question tt he is just a rerun. he said for me it's the only way america is going to have a future. cecilia. >> he is expecting to hit the president hard. thank you. quite a day in iowa today. >> sure is. >> now to the new reports this morning about the north korean dicta dictator's assassinated half-brother. martha raddatz has the latest on that. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the wall street journal said that kim jong-nam met with cia operatives and could explain why kim jong-un's older brother was killed two years ago in that brazen move in an airport caught on surveillance vision. two women smearing a nerve agent on his face. he died a short time later.

lawyers say the women were unwitting pawns in the assassination. they believe that kim jong-un was responsible for his brother's death. "washington post" bureau chief anna fifield in a book released today says that kim jong-nam usually met his handlers in malaysia or singapore. she said that inside the backpack he was carrying when he was killed was $120,000 in cash that could have been payment for his intelligence information, or earnings from his gambling business. much remains unclear about his relationship with the cia, and as you can imagine, michael, the cia has no comment this morning. >> all right. as expected. thank you so much, martha. now to a major breach of customs at the border protection data, raising serious privacy questions. the agency collects images of license plates and photographs of people crossing the border. pier thomas has more. >> reporter: new concerns about

we will seeing monterey, 97. ocean side, 85 was the daily record. that was just one of the days. we've got another very hot day today and tomorrow. that's why you have those excessive heat warnings from arizona right through southern california. lo at portland today to 97. a quick look at what's coming water wise. this is a river north carolina, dozens of rescues. they are now drying out. >> jirginger, thank you. we have an incredible rescue in ohio. six teens caught in a flash flood, some stuck in a storm drain. janai norman has the story. good morning, janai. >> reporter: robin, good morning. at first it was one teen who was swept away by floodwaters, and eventually, all six between the ages of 13 and 15 needed help and that water was nearly three feet high from a heavy downpour when the fire chief went in to save them. this is the moment rescuers saved three of six teenage boys from rushing waters in northern ohio. >> got it, hold on, hold on tight! >> reporter: the six teens were

playing in a creek when flash floodwaters forced one of them into a storm drain. >> i think one got swept in and the rest were trying to help. >> reporter: the fire chief, soaked from head to toe after jumping in those same flood waters to save the teens, as the other five also ended up caught in the current trying to save their friend. >> they kind of linked arms to try to get them out and a couple more got sucked in. >> reporter: the water carried one of the teens a half mile underground while another was able to escape and call police. you can see officers' bodycam video capturing some of the rescu rescues. two boys able to hold onto a cement wall as first responders spring into action. >> how many of you are right there? >> three. >> reporter: police throwing a rope and life preserver down. >> you're all right. take a deep breath. >> reporter: pulling three boys to safety while the other two were rescued farther down stream. the police lieutenant said pulling those teens through flood waters felt like pulling a

there's a difference between using one in open waters or in a pool. rescuers say if you use it in open waters, anchor it, tether it or the parent should hold onto it. in this case, if your kid is not a strong swimmer, put a life jacket on them at the beach. >> good advice there. >> thanks, robin. >> i thought it was "little rascals" for a moment. >> those kids were so cute. >> they were and glad they're okay. coming up, we have the play of the day. >> play it! >> this music tells you what it is. ♪ can't hold it back anymore ♪ let it go, let it go >> "frozen?" could it be "frozen?" the eyebr, just tease it a little. slather it all over, don't hold back. well, the squirrels followed me all the way out to california! and there's a very strange badger staring at me... no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my car insurance with geico. uh-huh, where's the camel?

this morning, officials on the scene working to determine what led to the deadly chopper crash in new york city, trying to understand how the chopper ended up in flames. >> i thought a plane hit the building. >> reporter: the chopper took off from the east river helipath at 1:32 p.m. this video shows a chopper in the area flying at times erratically. officials cannot say definitively whether it's the boomed flight. moments later the deadly crash. the photos showing the wreckage, very little left behind. the chopper was flying within faa restricted air space within a mile of trump tower. the only person on board identified as tim mccormack, a volunteer firefighter. we're also told that this pilot was very experienced, which may be why he chose that rooftop for his emergency landing rather than the busy streets of new york city. back to you. >> gio, thank you.

we turn to the measles outbreak sweeping the country. the cdc saying the number of cases topping 1,000 in 28 states so far this year. this is the largest number of cases since 1992. most of the people who came down with the illness had never been vaccinated. the cdc is warning the virus is so contagious, the close contact of summer camps is a legitimate concern for this virus spreading. measles could re-establish himself if vaccination levels lower. major concern there. >> a lot of summer camps. you're right about that. >> now to the golden state warrior, surviving game five of the nba finals, beating the raptors by one but suffering, as you know, a crushing blow on the court when one of their superstars went down. let's go back to t.j. in toronto with the latest on kevin durant's injury. t.j.? >> reporter: yeah, a big win for the warriors but a huge loss as well. they now get a chance to go back

to oracle in oakland with the series now 3 games to 2. last night, kevin durant, the superstar forward, coming back after a month being outs with an injury. he gets in the game and early in the second quarter, he makes a move and looks like he reinjured the same right leg. the warriors are now saying it's a different injury. it's an achilles injury that how him out and it could have him out a long time, into the next season. the crowd cheered. some of the raptors telling the crowd to cut it out. we did not hear from k.d. after the game, only in an instagram post. he posted, guys, i'm hurting deep in my soul is what he wrote on instagram. but watching my brothers get this win is like taking a shot of tequila. it was giving him new life. that's all we're hearing from him but he went out there and sacrificed his body and it cost him dearly. and the warriors have one final game at oracle arena. >> t.j., you spent a lot of time with both these teams. what is your sense this new

injury to k.d., how both sides are going react to it, respond to it? >> well, this is -- i know these are competitors but this is a brotherhood. no one on either team, any team is rooting for an injury for their brother. to see the warriors go through this run for the past five years -- this is a tight-knit group. they know each other's families. they have seen each other have kids. to see that kind of injury take place, basketball wasn't their first thought. it's about their brother down the road and in his life and that is what you saw in the postgame. >> all right, t.j., thanks so much. so hard. >> it's so hard and it's impressive for them to lose him and go down and come back and have the lead. shows what the team is made of. >> next game, thursday back -- the last one at oracle. >> at oracle. where can you see it for free? >> abc. >> that's right, everybody. >> coming up, we have the "bachelorette" exclusive. we got a sneak peek at tonight's episode as the lukes, oh, they're going to fight for hannah's love.

back, remembering the different television landscape when the show first premiered 16 years ago. >> i think people need to remember that back when we first started the "bachelorette" it was controversial. and we took a beating. what's funny is i think if we brought it out today, there would be a parade in our honor for empowering a women and putting them in charge. back then, it wasn't seen as that. >> love and the show just spring eternal. it's never going away and you can see "the bachelorette" tonight at 8:00 eastern only on abc. >> thank you, will carr. >> i'm out of here. >> george, over to you! a gma health alert. two headlines this morning about weight. one says that having a light on while you sleep could increase your waistline. the other, that genetics may not play as big of a role as we thought. dr. jen is here with both of this. first let's talk about light.

>> so interesting. here is the actual study in jama internal medicine. they looked at over 43,000 women and were really trying to make -- ask the question s this there a connection between artificial light exposure while we're sleeping and weight gain and obesity. and what they found, any exposure to artificial light while we sleep -- that could be a night light, street lights outside, sleeping with the television on. 17% more likely to gain weight. we do think there's a cause there, that it suppresses melatonin. the worst, people who fall asleep with the tv on, those people gain average of 11 pounds over a five-year period. when you talk about a way to target obesity, we hear so much about diet and exercise which are important. we don't think about the things that could be going on while we're actually sleeping and this is a potential target. >> darkness. i just got a black-out shade a couple nights ago.

it has made a world of difference. i had no idea. >> you thought you slept well before. >> yeah. >> so i learned the same thing. i figure, i'm asleep. i never sleep later than 5:00 in the morning. why do i even need shades? darkness is very, very important even that we are exposed to while we're sleeping. number one, eye masks, they look funny but they can work. black-out shades or drapes, very, very important. turn off your electronics, if you have a compute their goes in sleep mode that has a light on the screen. cover it and dim the alarm clocks. they can expose us to light while we sleep. >> the other big headline, genetics. >> you know, i have a degree in nutrition. this is the holy grail. people are asking is there a diet or way of eating that is right for your genetic code? there's a massive trial under way right now. they released preliminary data. think they that genetics has a

30% to 70% effect on our risk for obesity. could you see a diet for you in the future? yeah, but it's not ready for prime time. >> diet and exercise. that balance, thanks a lot. ginger? let's do a little "gma" moment, shall we? in mississippi, t.j. who is 17 just got a little surprise. >> surprise! that's his reaction by the way to getting a new car. yeah.

>> well, they are an experienced team. that helps of course. but you still have half the team, robin, who is playing in its first ever women's worlds cup. interestingly enough, the u.s. has never been in the last group. so we have been seeing here in france, as they say, and the americans call it france. they have been waiting and watching and seeing in coffee shopping drinking a lot of coffee. but this is a team that is ready to get this party started for sure. >> who's going to be the stiffest competition going forward? >> well, no disrespect to thailand but really the first game is about getting through the first game and getting their feet wet. and really this group is not the hardest group for the united states. the third game, sweden, will be a harder game. knocked them out of the olympics in 2016 actually. so there's a lot of history there. but honestly, the biggest competitor for the united states will be the host in france and they looked excellent in their opening game on friday. if u.s. wins its group and france wins its group, they

could meet in the quarter finals in paris. >> we will be watching, julie foudy, thank you so much. go, usa! michael. >> all right, usa! you're rht about that. get excited, everybody. mtv's hit show "the hills", it is back, getting a reboot nearly a decade after the original finale and we sat down with the cast. abc's abbie boudreau has more. >> reporter: good morning, michael. if you were a fan of "the hills", this time there's so much more at stake. ♪ people the rain on your skin >> reporter: that theme song. a flash back to mtv's cult classic the hills, the coming of age reality show based in the early 2000s now about to reboot. >> we have so much to catch up on. >> i know. >> i sat down with the cast at the london west hollywood in beverly hills. >> does it feel good to be back.

>> it's natural. >> it's natural. >> will we see a lot of singing? is that -- >> you will see another musical moment this season. >> a teaser. >> which is honestly, one of -- it's one of my most favorite things that we've ever shot on the series. >> that's saying something. >> you will say it in this season. >> you posted a funny video on instagram. i'm wondering any chance we will see those moves on "younger?" >> my '90s dancing. okay. >> oh, man! look at you there. >> i know you're reviving the music man. but are you going on tour with new kids on the block? >> the rocking rabbit and running man. i'm turning bright red. you know, i don't like working out but i like -- i started doing this dance cardio stuff.

[ cheers and applause ] >> a real trail blazer, "project runway's" elaine welteroth in 2017, she became the youngest person appointed editor in chief of "teen vogue." now she has a new book "more

than enough" claiming space for who you are. this is what she is here to talk about. please welcome elaine. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you, guys. >> no matter what anyone says, no matter what anybody says, i mean, you truly are a trail blazer. you did that at teen vogue and you changed the conversation about inclusion and diversity. what is your new mission for this beautiful book? >> first of all, i just have to say, as a journalist sitting in front of you, this a dream come true. thank you for having me on. [ applause ] i'm going to try not to get weepy. listen, my mission with this book is to encourage every woman, every young person out there to push back against all of those messages that we have all been fed that make us feel we are not enough. we are not smart enough. we're not beautiful enough. we're not successful enough. we're not woke enough.

because the reality is no matter where you come from, no matter how big your dreams are you, you already are more than enough, even if you are a work in progress. >> you have to get past that imposter syndrome that so many of us at every age experience. the way you -- she really goes here. you talk about a lot of highs. you're young, 32. okay, she had a lot -- you also talk about the lows. here, you have this position. but you didn't have the same salary. the same authority as someone who normally has that position. and you said it was important for to you talk about the highs and lows in the book. >> because they are universal. >> right. >> as a journalist for ten years i spent my career elevating stories that i felt mattered because i believe there are universal truths in the stories that women never get to tell.

and i had to realize i have to take my own advice. it's time to tell more of my story. if i'm going to be held up as a trail blazer by you, i better be doing the work to make sure that i am leaving that trail with sign posts along the way that make it easier, less confusing, less daunting for the next generation that is coming up behind me. by the way, i don't want to be a first if i'm going to be a last. i want to be the first of many. i feel like i owe it to this generation that is coming up behind me and they are fierce by the way. they're going to face a lot of things, burnout, complicated relationships, negotiating your salary. we live in an 180-character world. >> and it's not always perfect. >> no, it's not. >> and the woman who helped you most, sitting right there in the front row. your mama. [ applause ] what did she share with you? how did she help you? >> everything.

everything. this book, you might be coming to this book to hear more about my story but really you're going to fall in love with my mom. she's the hero of the story. it starts with her. ends with her. part of writing this book, i've told my mom so many times the world would be a better place if everyone had a mother like debra. i feel this book is going to multiply her mothering to millions of young people. i learned everything through her. and most of us, she taught me to be proud of who i am, no matter what everyone says, and that is something that helps me to be -- to have integrity throughout my whole career and my whole life. i'm going to cry. [ applause ] >> i can't believe it, "project runway," 17 seasons. we have a young woman here.

erica, you are columbia university, communications? >> journalism. >> journalism, okay. what is your question? >> my question for you, as a young, emerging journalist, what advice do you have to give to us starting in the industry? >> great question. i'm so glad to see all of you guys here. you make me less nervous. here is what i say to you. find your voice and tell the story only you can tell. we live in a clickbait culture where there is pressure to just chase the click. what i will tell you, the most transformative work you will do is only the work you can do. find it sooner than later. zero in on that and don't be afraid to tell the story no one else is telling. >> yeah. her mom is beaming. her mama's like, that's my girl. that is my girl.

and she is. everybody has a story. and thank you, elaine, for sharing your story. you said, we all are still a work in progress and cannot wait to see what you are going to do going forward. >> thank you. >> and "more than enough" is out now and y'all are going to go home with a book. everyone's going home with a copy. what do you have to say, michael? >> you know, robin, i love that. not the first of one but the first of many. i love that from elaine. >> we are gearing up for the big show in philadelphia on thursday. we asked to you send us videos of your philly faves, the places we must see while we are there. here are some of the ideas you guys shared with us. >> hello, "gma." >> hi, "good morning america". >> hey, gma. >> this is shawn and we are boyz ii men.

[ applause ] the first episode did not disappoint, right? it was so good and then on social media, we were all laughing because everyone was talking about bangs, the hair became such an important thing. the fact you have bangs, the fact that nicole kidman have bangs. do you they folks are on to something? are bangs a part of the story line? >> you mean is it going to be revealed in episode seven?

>> isn't it funny what people focus on? there were so many nuggets in the episode and that's what had people going -- >> they were like, bangs. >> yeah, the idea of that, after season one, jane had so much trauma she was living with and the end of it, something occurs that makes me feel like she would have had a physical change to separate herself from the story that happened to her. you know when you have a massive breakup, you want to cut your hair or do something different. >> yeah. >> it was like that but on a more dramatic scale. >> maybe bangs is right. >> yeah, as you do. >> you mentioned meryl streep. we can't talk about the season without discussing the fact that she has joined the monterey five. >> and that she looks completely different. >> unbelievablunbelievable. >> the way that she talks, she's on another level. >> on another level. was it intimidating for you?

>> i really like challenges. i get off on them so it felt like an opportunity to grow and learn. she's just such a wonderful human being and such a lovely person. >> and little known, you guys met before. you saw the video backstage, right? >> yeah, i just -- >> this is so funny. this is at the baftas. not recently, before meryl had ever -- look, right there. she hands you her bag. she forgets that -- of course she's receiving the award. that's before you guys were even -- >> totally forgot about that moment and when she got cast for the second season, and my mom was like, that's so funny because remember when she gave you the bag and i was like, no, she didn't. my mom was sitting next to me and remembered that whole thing. >> it was kismet, meant to be. i want to show people your character, jane, and what is going on. she's got a job now at the monterey aquarium and she gets a

little bit of unsettling advice. take a look. >> we do a lot of kids events at the aquarium and parents have a thing about trusting their kids with psychos. >> noted, got it. thank you. >> the way people talk in this town, i don't need to tell you. >> you don't need to tell me? what does that mean? >> you're one of the monterey five, right? >> the monterey five? >> you were there the night that guy fell. >> where did you hear that? >> someone at work. i'll see you around. [ applause ] >> the gang's got a name. >> we got a name. >> without -- i know we talked to all your pals, all the other ladies on the show. you can't give anything away but were you surprised where the script takes you? >> me, not necessarily. jane's arc in the story is about healing and i think that's important and beautiful.

so i wasn't surprised about that. i was excited, but the story itself, i was very surprised by it. >> we love it. we will be too. and reese witherspoon said there is a scene in episode two which is coming this sunday where shailene is, quote, lights out. if that is not a great tease, i don't know what is. check out shailene on season two of "big little lies" this sunday on hbo. >> she is tired. >> she is tired. read california phones offers free specialized phones... like cordless phones, - (phone ringing) - big button, and volume-enhanced phones. get details on this state program. call or visit
