and back out here live in maryland, you can see one of those cars we were talking about, the floodwaters just taking it away. by the way, scientists tell us there is a 0.1% chance of this kind of rain event ever happening and clearly here in maryland it did, george. >> wow, 0.1%. okay, gio, thanks very much. to ginger and where this is heading. >> where it's head something right back in the same region. it wasn't just maryland. look at this from new jersey. have those water rescues ongoing and now that'y all these areas that have had more than 6, 7 inches of rain. newark, delaware up there in central and western new jersey and right back into parts of maryland, the ground is just so saturated. so when we have storms later this afternoon and evening, we have the potential for flash floods. so flash flood watch west of new york city, treptszen, allentown. what you have to look out for is 1 to even 3 inches and some spots could get isolated storms that produce 4 plus inches of rain and that will be a huge

why did he not feel that? that he asked me that i didn't say anything. i'm so sorry, mr. trump. i'm so sorry for your heartless thinking. i'm very sorry. >> reporter: but it was this exchange with george that has fueled this new trump controversy. >> how would you answer that father? what sacrifice have you made for your country? >> i think i've made a lot of sacrifices. i work very, very hard. i've created thousands and thousands of jobs. tens of thousands of jobs. built gre i've done -- i've had tremendous success. i think -- >> those are sacrifices? >> oh, sure, i think they're sacrifices. >> reporter: trump tweeting later i was viciously attacked by mr. khan at the democratic convention. am i not allowed to respond? senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and speaker paul ryan releasing statements, not condemning trump but emphasizing praise on captain khan and his parents as patriots. hillary clinton putting it this

now with 100 days left every single thing willing looked at much differently than it was in the primary and this couldn't have come at a worse time for donald trump as the democrats left their convention with what most people thought was a very good convention. >> martha, a lot of focus on national security and russia policy and that interview and for donald trump right now i want to play more of the interview and ask you about it. let's take a listen. >> just so you understand he's not going to go into ukraine. you can mark it down, take >> he's there in a certain way but i'm not there. you have obama there and frankly that whole part of the world is a mess under obama with all the strength that you're talking about and all of the power of nato and all of this in the meantime, he's going -- he takes crimea and -- >> you said you might recognize that. >> i'm going to take a look at it but, you know, the people of crimea from what i've heard would rather be with russia than where they were. >> and, martha, that feeds the narrative you're seeing from the

also that he might be soft on russia. >> it certainly does, george. foreign policy is certainly not made on flattery alone and the u.s. relationship with russia has been especially tense over russia's incursions into ukraine, crimea and support of the syrian president, the best example of the late those dangerous flybys of our ships. not clear what trump was getting at when he said the russians wouldn't go into ukraine since there. i think he was saying if he becomes president that won't happen anymore because he'll have a great relationship with putin but i think he would find it much more complicated than that. >> okay, martha raddatz, matt dowd, thanks very much. george, on to the democratic ticket looking to build on momentum from the convention they did receive a bump from the convention. hillary clinton and tim kaine hitting key battleground states over the weekend answering questions about issues they disagree on.

latest. >> reporter: we have 100 days to make our case to america. >> reporter: we're now just starting the home stretch. so clinton and kaine are wasting no time taking their message out to the states that will likely decide the race. >> this is the part of the campaign i really like. >> reporter: but already this new political couple is having some growing pains. >> let's repeal laws like the hyde amendment. >> i support the hyde amendment. i haven't changed that. >> reporter: on cnn this his own man on the abortion ash supporting the ban to pay for abortions. a provision clinton has vowed to repeal. >> as vice president i had to get comfortable with the notion that i can have my personal views but i'm going to support the president of the united states and i will. >> reporter: but clinton has much bigger differences with her republican rival telling audiences here she sees trump as dangerous. >> he is temperamentally unfit

>> reporter: that's a message she hopes will resonate here in the rust belt, a region critical to donald trump's victory strategy. today clinton heads to omaha, nebraska, and she'll be joined there by billionaire warren buffett, george. >> looking to pick up that one electoral vote. okay, david, thanks very much. the latest on the zika emergency in the united states. health officials report four cases caused by mosquitoes in florida. our dr. richard besser is on the scene in miami and, rich, officials there are >> yeah, good morning, george. there's a lot of concern about the four cases of zika here in miami and whether they could indicate a larger outbreak. the florida governor will meet with community groups and we hear that florida and the cdc hope to have an update later today. we'll be listening to see whether the travel advisories will change. this morning, florida zika fears have come true. >> four people in our state likely have the zika virus as a result of a mosquito bite. >> reporter: for the first time,

home. not related to outside travel. but from bites they got right here in the u.s. florida health officials say all four cases were located here in these two counties near miami. all were likely bitten at the beginning of july. >> that's really scary. >> something to worry about. >> reporter: while cases of zika have been found in states all those but one were linked to travel to 1 of the 64 countries and territories where zika is common. the case not involving travel was due to a lab accident. now in miami, workers are going door to door heavily spraying so-called zika hot zones and testing neighbors looking for any signs that the virus is still here. hoping to contain it before it spreads further. >> once something starts, we nip it in the bud. >> reporter: overseas travelers are on edge. both england and ireland have now issued travel alerts warning all pregnant women to avoid n nonessential travel to florida. but for those living in the area, the fear of zika is

to see more action. >> reporter: this is the neighborhood where those cases occurred and they're going door to door handing out these pamphlets. the key message for pregnant women and other, use repellent, avoid mosquito bites. george. >> okay, rich, thanks very much. now to amy for today's other top stories. you had a major new fire in the west. >> getting images now of the massive new wildfire in western montana. flames up to 200 feet high have burned more than national forest forcing the evacuation of 500 homes and there's an even bigger threat in california where 5300 firefighters are now battling that blaze near big sur threatening thousands of homes. a bulldozer operator was killed while helping fire crews. well, overseas right now the taliban is claiming responsibility for a truck bomb today in a hotel popular with foreign contractors in kabul, afghanistan. the explosion shook much of the

photographed in england. i'm guessing by the laughter you see the resemblance. we'll show a side-by-side comparison that the "dailymail.com is calling -- the signature hair, mouth, everything is quite the same and he added that perhaps it's a warning about who which be president in november. he saw it as a sign in the count countryside of england. >> i thought lincoln. >> i thought too. >> the hair. >> i got it. th story. take a look at this terrifying crash caught on camera. the car flipping nearly a dozen times before coming to a stop. good samaritans then racing to save the driver who not only survived but was conscious. abc's t.j. holmes tells us about this incredible story. >> good morning. we're about to tee this video up for our viewers again. if you haven't asked already how in the world did anybody survive that? well, possibly due in part to

arrive. they became the rescue crew. this is not a hollywood stunt. this is a real-life crash caught on surveillance video in florida. the footage shows the moments the car goes out of control and flips over and over and over. leaving a debris field. >> we walked out and looked to see what was going on, looked like a war zone. >> reporter: the video also shows good samaritans rushing to the rescue. one brings a fire extinguisher >> i did immediately what everybody else was doing and if there were enough we could flip it. >> they used good old-fashioned manpower to turn the car over and pull the man out. >> the windows were completely crushed. the frame was bent, couldn't get the doors open so that was pretty much the main lead in my opinion of getting the guy out of the car. whenever we flipped it over i noticed it had a sunroof on it and immediately i jumped on top

how we were going to get the guy out. >> reporter: after bystanders performed the rescue, emergency crews airlifted the driver to a nearby hospital. >> it's crazy that, you know, that car did flip so many times and that actually was somebody in there that survived. >> whoo. >> survived, conscious, not clear about his condition but in the hospital this morning, nobody else was injured. hit a couple of cars, but they're trying to figure out what in the world caused that. how is that possible. >> how they back to ginger. possible tropical storm you're taoing about. >> right into the heart of atlantic hurricane season starting to heat up a little. 0% advance of development of what could become earl. we're going to watch it. your local weather in 30 seconds. first select cities brought to

the balloon took off outside of austin, texas, traveling for eight miles before suddenly exploding. >> you could see that they were just stuck. the flames that go into the balloon, they were coming on and going off. >> reporter: the sunrise flight was delayed for 20 minutes with clouds and fog in the area. investigators say the balloon hit the high tension wires as it descending. among the passengers, 34-year-old newlyweds matt and sunday rowan. sunday bought it as a gift for her army >> when i heard there were no survivors, we knew we had lost her. >> reporter: matt texted his volleyball team saying this has been rescheduled a dozen times for weather and i didn't think it would happen. they posted pictures of their day from helping to set up taking off, even posting parts of the flight. the last picture, posted 12 minutes before the end. another couple on the balloon,

the couple cherished spending time with their kids and grandchildren. >> i went outside and seen a flame and the high line. i went on down there and it was this basket underneath the high line burning. >> reporter: the bodies were found near the basket of the balloon. investigators gathered 18 cell phone, cameras and ipads which they hope will enable them to piece together the final moments of the flight. the pilot of the balloon is said to have many years experience. he spoke about his love of flying to our abcti >> being a pilot or are you just going to be a passenger and crew and i proceeded to be a pilot. >> he loved what he did. his utmost priority was the safety to his passengers. >> reporter: the ntsb is calling for more regulation of this industry pointing out that in just the past five years there have been 60 incidents involving balloons. now these devices, the cell phones and cameras are being

lab. they are really hoping there is video or pictures that will show the last moments of flight and help solve this mystery. robin. >> all right, david, thank you very much. joining us now is robert zumwalt, a member of the national transportation safety board helping with the investigation in lockhart. sir, thank you very much for your time this morning. what more can you share with us about the investigation at this point? >> we're trying to put together a time line for exactly howhi good progress but still have a long way to go. >> you say the launch was delayed something like 20 minutes because of fog. is weather being considered a factor? >> well, weather is always something that we look at and we're not exactly sure why the flight was delayed by approximately 20 minutes. we are going to interview the ground crew today and that's one of the very questions we want to find out is was there any particular reason why this flight was delayed.

i know you're looking into that. >> certainly we're looking at the power lines. it's pretty suspicious that the balloon ended up right below the power lines. power lines are a factor in 15% of ballooning accidents. >> and speaking of ballooning accidents you said yesterday that this type of balloon may have been involved in another crash. can you elaborate? >> there have been two other accidents involving this specific but there are 110 of these balloons registered in the united states. >> two years ago the ntsb warned that something like this could happen and you wanted them to tighten regulations, in fact, you said yesterday you called their response, quote, unacceptable. had they heeded this warning could this tragedy have been avoided, sir? >> we do feel that in a general sense there needs to be greater

operators. and we do feel that the regulator has a responsibility to provide oversight when people are exchanging money to go for a ride. there needs to be a greater level of oversight than there currently is. >> is it safe for people to go up in a hot air balloon? >> is it safe to go in a hot air balloon? that's a great question. any time we defy gravity, there's a certain risk associated with that and unfortunately the tragi that risk is greater than we're willing to accept. >> but you're not saying people should not go up in a hot air balloon? >> i would suspect riding in a hot air balloon would be a wonderful way to spend a lovely morning or a lovely evening, but it is important to make sure that for one thing that the weather is good before we go. i think that's very important. we're not saying that the weather is, indeed, a factor here but certainly one of the things that the ntsb is looking

we appreciate it very much. take care. >> thank you. >> and we're certainly thinking of the families. >> we are. a lot of questions before you go up. we'll move on and switch gears to a scandal surrounding the newly crowned miss teen usa under fire for using offensive language in a series of old tweets and now apologizing. the organization says she'll get to keep her title. abc's linzie janis has the details. >> miss teen usa 2016 is texas. >> reporter: this morning, the newly crowned miss teen usa at the center of a twitter scandal. >> miss teen usa. >> reporter: not long after taking home the title in las vegas saturday, karlie hay coming under fire after a series of racist tweets from her social media account came back to haunt her. the tweets dating back to 2013 show hey using the "n" word

his story in just a moment. loved you on the overnight this morning at 4:00. >> thank you. alarming new security concerns in rio four days before the olympics begin. there are fears isis could target the games with a dirty bomb and reports that the international atomic energy agency has sent sophisticated detection equipment to brazil and joining us none other than espn's jeremy schaap. this is something. 'v what are the security concerns right now over there in rio? >> well, there are a lot of security concerns, robin, in rio right now but we understand there's not a lot of substance to the dirty bomb threat. that's mostly they're doing their due diligence if there were such a threat. however there had been credible threats on jihadi messaging channels targeting the games. they're taking that very

they've been targeted before. and making matters worse, the rio organizers, they just fired the company they hired a month ago today to hire 3,000 security officers to work outside the venues. they weren't getting the job done and will be replaced by police and military. >> it is a mess. you got to wonder what's next. you got security threats. zika. you got the water, dirty water right now. the doping scandal. facilities aren't gapes? >> well, you know, george, we talk about this often. right before the games, are they going to get it done? that was the story, of course, in 2004 in athens, beijing, 2008, sochi, 2014. but never before as you suggested have we seen so many problems plaguing one olympics but when the games do get under way assuming there is not some terrorist attack, something awful happens, most people will

doesn't happen but when the games start people want to see the competition. >> fingers crossed that is true, jeremy, thanks very much. let's move on to a backlash brewing over a new matt damon movie. trailer for "the great wall" shows him fighting a dangerous force outside the wall in china. want to bring in larry hackett from "people" magazine. he's getting criticized by constance wu most prone said we have to stopper pet waiting the racist myth that only a white man can save the world. white washing, not the first time it's happened. >> no, i not the first time it's happened. there have been cases recently, emma stone was cast in a movie as a half asian, half hawaiian woman. tilda swinton has been cast and scarlett johansson in a movie based on a japanese character and all these roles should be going to asian actors so there's
