great to have you with us on a very busy wednesday night here. we begin tonight with a number of storms we're tracking at this hour, just as millions begin their holiday travel. because of when christmas falls this year, the faa saying tomorrow will see the most flights in the air this holiday season, passengers and cargo planes in time for the holiday. and tonight, look at this. back-to-back storms heading to the northeast. one storm stretching from the south all the way up to maine, heavy rain along i-95. turning to snow inland in pennsylvania, new york, and parts of new england. snow already falling tonight in northwest pennsylvania, beginning to pile up in downtown meadville, of course, it's right outside erie. low visibility and treacherous driving on roads including interstate 79 in pennsylvania. and then a second storm right now across the upper midwest heading right into the northeast after this. so, let's get right to ginger zee with us live tonight, tracking both storms. and tonight, she has the first look at the christmas day outlook. so, okay, ginger, a lot to get through. where are the storms tonight? >> reporter: certainly, david. good evening to you.

let's start with the one that's over us right now. it is raining, and, yes, we need rain in a severe drought for new york city, philadelphia certainly needs it, but all that heavy rain going to make travel tonight especially on the roads tough. i-95, all the way up through connecticut, to boston. you're going to be dealing with that heavy rain. but it's the poconos and the catskills, the green and white mountains, where the snowy part of this system is. everybody is free of it by early tomorrow morning, and that's good news for the air travel for the northeast, however, there is another storm we're tracking, that one already making its way into the northern plains. minneapolis is nearly a foot below average for snow already this season, they're going to be getting 3 to 6 inches. a winter storm warning sliding into green bay, where you could also have issues. the north side of chicago, grand rapids, michigan, my hometown. watch that one as it expands and becomes snow for a lot of folks in pennsylvania, west virginia, and then up into upstate new york. for friday night, here in the city, i think we could have a wintry mix. we could see that rain/snow mix all the way up the coast and the cape.

behind it, my goodness does it get cold. we're talking wind chills in the single digits for new york city. end of the weekend, start of the week. that's a 9 and 8 you see there, david. and then we will see some warming, after christmas day itself, between then and new year's, it's looking above average for almost the entire nation. >> david: yeah, looks that way. a lot to get through before we get there. ginger zee with us tonight, thank you. now, to the other news and the harrowing images of a deadly small plane crash. now the video showing the plane's final moments seconds before it slammed into a building near the airport, bursting into flames. and the haunting words, what the pilot told the control tower just before the crash. these are the images, the crash in hawaii captured on dash cam video, banking sharply to the left there, careening out of control, then crashing into a fireball. one of the pilots of the single-engine cessna telling the control tower, "we are out of control here." here's gio benitez. >> reporter: tonight, crews digging through the rubble as the faa and the ntsb investigate how the single-engine cessna seen here making a hard left turn crashed into an abandoned

building moments after takeoff. air traffic control capturing the final words from a pilot aboard the cargo plane on a training mission. scrambling to find a place to land in hawaii. >> kamaka 689, you're turning right, right? >> ah, kamaka 689, we have -- we're out of control here. >> okay, kamaka 689, okay, if you can land -- if you can level it off, that's fine, any runway, any place you can do. >> reporter: dash cam video shows the plane making a rapid descent before the crash, bursting into a ball of flames just outside honolulu airport. >> the airplane almost in a 90-degree bank, which is almost unrecoverable at that point, could be a result of something going wrong physically, the airplane's flight controls, or it could be because the aircraft got too slow. >> reporter: that plane had eight flights tuesday before taking off around 3:15 p.m. both people onboard died in the crash. tonight, we're learning they're 22-year-old hiram defries, testing for his pilot's license,

and preston kaluhiwa. and david, officials tonight are praising those two pilots for avoiding crowded areas, saying that this could have been so much worse. incredibly, no one on the ground was injured. david? >> david: gio benitez, thank you. there's also breaking news tonight involving the suspect in the ceo murder case. a source close to suspect luigi mangione now saying he is expected to waive extradition and within hours, could be back in new york. here's aaron katersky. >> reporter: tonight, a source close to accused killer luigi mangione says he's expected to waive extradition, clearing the way for his move to new york city as early tomorrow to face charges for the targeted murder of unitedhealthcare chief brian thompson. >> i'm ready to bring him back here and to make sure that justice is served to someone who had the audacity to gun down any new yorker, i don't care what their title is. >> reporter: mangione's been in a pennsylvania prison since his arrest last week. he's due to appear before a judge in the morning and within hours could be brought to new york, booked, and arraigned on a charge of murder in furtherance of terrorism. >> this was a killing that was

intended to evoke terror. >> reporter: it also unleashed anger at insurance companies and displays of admiration for the alleged killer, something the nypd called vile. >> social media has erupted with praise for this cowardly attack. people ghoulishly plastered posters threatening the ceos -- other ceos with an x over mr. thompson's picture. >> reporter: outside a gathering of ceos last night just steps from the crime scene, protesters called for more violence, invoking the same words written on the gunman's shell casings. once mangione returns to a court here, david, he is going to have to enter a plea to the 11-count indictment, and then, in all likelihood, a judge would order him held without bail in new york city's jail complex on rikers island. david? >> david: this could all be fast-moving tomorrow, aaron, thank you. we should note aaron is part of the reporting team that tomorrow night will have a "20/20" special right here, "manhunt: luigi mangione and the ceo murder." it's a special edition of "20/20" tomorrow, 10:00 p.m. eastern.

we're going to take you inside the case. new details, new reporting. tomorrow night, right here on abc. we continue tonight, and to the hill. the showdown brewing over a looming government shutdown right before christmas. and now, elon musk with a power play of sorts. now threatening members of congress himself, saying anyone who votes for this new bipartisan spending bill that would keep the government open, quote, deserves to be voted out in two years. tonight, president-elect trump now weighing in, and here's mary bruce. >> reporter: tonight, after a relentless pressure campaign from billionaire elon musk, washington is now barrelling towards a possible government shutdown, just days before christmas. musk calling a shutdown infinitely better than passing a horrible bill, threatening that any lawmaker who supports it deserves to be voted out. the bipartisan deal that would keep the government up and running for three months was brokered by republican house speaker mike johnson. >> we've got to get this done, because here's the key. by doing this, we are clearing the decks and we are setting up

for trump to come in, roaring back, with the america first agenda. >> reporter: but this morning, musk, who president-elect donald trump has tapped to lead a new department of government efficiency, posting on x, "this spending bill is a crime." the bill would fund the government through mid-march. among other things it would include $100 billion in disaster relief, billions more in assistance for farmers. but musk says it's also bloated with wasteful spending. republican leaders today caught offguard by musk's pressure play. >> there will be a lot of hard votes in the next couple of years, and it's not always going to be the case that the outside world, the social media audience, is going to be weighing in. >> reporter: if congress doesn't pass the bill by saturday and the government shuts down, millions of federal workers could head into the holidays without paychecks. some will be furloughed, others asked to work without pay. that includes some members of the military, and other critical government workers like tsa agents and air traffic controllers, just as the holiday travel craze begins. late today, trump finally

weighing in, criticizing the bill without telling republicans exactly what to do, urging them to get smart and tough. but democrats tonight are blunt. >> house republicans will now own any harm that is visited upon the american people that results from a government shutdown or worse. >> reporter: and david, another headline here tonight. the house ethics committee has quietly voted to release its report on former congressman matt gaetz, donald trump's first pick to be attorney general. they've been investigating him for sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. gaetz saying in a statement, in part, quote, in my single days, i often sent funds to women i dated. even some i never dated but who asked. i never had sexual contact with someone under 18. it's embarrassing, though not criminal, that i probably partied, womanized, drank, and smoked more than i should have earlier in life. i live a different life now. david? >> david: mary bruce live up on the hill tonight. mary, thank you.

i'm sure lawmakers on the hill saw what happened with the economy today. the dow closing down more than 1,000 points tonight. a ten-day losing streak. it comes as the federal reserve cut interest rates today another quarter percentage point. the fed chief jerome powell saying only a couple more cuts coming. the dow closing down for a tenth straight day for the first time since 1974, a streak that long, after setting 48 record highs this year. let's get right to our chief economics correspondent rebecca jarvis with us live tonight. and rebecca, what's driving this? >> reporter: david, it was the message delivered today from fed chair powell. there will be fewer interest rate cuts next year than anticipated. that means borrowing costs, everything from a new mortgage to a car loan to your credit cards, will stay higher for longer, and that is what drove stocks plunging 1,100 points for the dow. the longest losing streak, as you said, since 1974, when ford was president. the fed acknowledging today that getting inflation lower, back to what we would consider normal,

has been tricky, it will take longer. the one piece of decent news today is that the cut means your credit card bill will be a little bit lower next year, although it will be just a little bit. david? >> david: rebecca jarvis following the markets for us. rebecca, thanks, as always. we turn tonight to the growing concern over bird flu right here in the u.s. tonight, california, in fact, declaring a state of emergency now, because of the sheer number of cases there. and tonight, the cdc now revealing the first case of severe bird flu in a human here in the u.s. abc's steve osunsami at the cdc in atlanta tonight. >> reporter: california's state of emergency tonight will give public health officials more resources and people to fight the bird flu virus that spread from animals to humans and made dozens of farm workers sick. this year alone, tens of millions of birds have been killed in america from exposure to the avian virus, and 61 people have already gotten sick. half of them in california. but tonight is the first time authorities are reporting that an american is seriously sick. they're only sharing that the

sick patient, now hospitalized, lives in louisiana, is over 65, had underlying medical conditions, and caught the virus from sick and dead birds in their backyard, and not on a farm. >> what is striking here is that this is the first serious illness, one that required hospitalization. most earlier cases were mild or asymptomatic. currently, there is no human to human spread, and this is very important, because the risk to the general public still is very low. >> reporter: most of the human cases have come from the disease spreading to cows, chickens, and turkeys, and then to farm workers who worked with the sick animals. it's one of the reasons the price of eggs is up more than 37% since last year. scientists here at the cdc are warning americans about handling dead animals, in particular, birds and chickens, and they underline that the case that they're focusing on with the person who is seriously ill, that the contact happened at that person's home. david? >> david: yeah, we have to watch this very closely in the weeks and months ahead.

steve, thank you. when we come back tonight, the images coming in from onboard a cruise ship. authorities investigating the death of an unruly american passenger. you're going to see the alarming video. what played out onboard. also, the new warning tonight about a drug often given to dogs, and what they're saying about this. and our "made in america christmas" is back tonight. here's the hint. something from the movie "it's a wonderful life," still being made in america. can you guess? only when i see flakes. then i switch back to my regular shampoo. you should use it every wash, otherwise the flakes will come back. —he's right, you know. is that tiny troy? the ingredients in head and shoulders keep the microbes that cause flakes at bay. microbes, really? they're always on your scalp... but good news, there's no itchiness, dryness or flakes down here! i love tiny troy. and his tiny gorgeous hair. make every wash count! and for stubborn dandruff, try head & shoulders clinical strength. for more than a decade farxiga has been trusted again and again, and again. ♪far-xi-ga♪
