today, halloween, saturday, october 31st, 2015. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and welcome to "today" on saturday morning. i'm erica hill. >> i'm carson daly alongside jones. we have the latest with the breaking news from ron mott in london. >> reporter: good morning, carson. metro jet flight disappeared from russia radar over egypt 23 minutes into the flight from the city of sharm el sheikh in egypt en route to russia. the officials confirm to nbc news it crashed in the sinai peninsula and jets located the wreckage of the plane. it is too early to pinpoint a cause of the crash. the area where the plane went

terrorists clashed this summer. according to the associated press, quoting the egypt committee, the pilot reported technical difficulties and inn text tension to be land at the nearest airport. the 18-year-old airbus a-321. the jet was descending at the rate of 6,000 feet per minute before the signal was lost. the air russian transportation official said 217 passengers and crew members were on board and it was handed off to cyprus officials, but they never made contact with radar. it is suspected that many of the passengers are russian tourists returning from vacation. russian jet 9268 is confirmed lost from radar carrying 217 passenger and 7 crew members and crashed in the sinai peninsula of egypt. carson and erica, back to you.

>> let's turn to tom costello who handles aviation news. looking at? >> reporter: i think they have to look at a number of things. they will look at the weather conditions at the time. right now, there is no suggestion that weather played a role. the mechanical history of the airbus a-321. this is a reliable plane. family. it has a good record. they will look into the mechanical history of the plane and we don't know which engine configuration on the plane. one made by ge and one made by rolls royce pratt and whitney. they will look at the rate of descent. at last report, the plane was coming down 6,000 to 7,000 feet

that is not a terribly unusual descent rate. it would suggest that somebody must have been trying to control the plane. keep in mind that for example, to compare that rate of descent to the plane we know crashed. air france 447 over the atlantic, descented 15,000 feet per minute. we don't know the circumstances. we need to get a little more information before we determine if the pilot was in control of plane down or not. one other point. there was an original report from the scene, as you know, very often the original reporting turns out to be wrong. some original reporting that voices may have been heard in the wreckage. if that's true, that would suggest to me anyway that the pilot did manage to somehow put the plane down on the desert

opposed to breaking up in flight. it is all conjecture. we don't know. the authorities will have their hands full. we believe it will be the egyptian authorities and russian authorities and because it is a plane made in europe, made in french, the french investigation team as well. >> you will continue to stay on top of it for us. tom, thanks. now to the deadly floods in texas. two people dead and others feared missing after the severe weather hit overnight. there are authorities on the way to inspect the areas. we have nbc's charles hadlock in texas for us. >> reporter: good morning, carson. central texas hit with record-breaking flooding. two people dead and one still missing. central texas is reeling from a wicked amount of rainfall this halloween weekend. more than 14 inches of rain in less than 24 hours.

that got washed away. >> reporter: near wimberley, a woman and her friends were rescued from the national guard. in san marcos, teachers and students were brought to safer ground when flood waters hit. sirens warned of the danger, but that was not enough for this driver. >> i sat there for a bit and i tried to do something to find help. i'm glad this guy found me. >> reporter: in south austin, another driver rescued from the massive flood waters. the flash floods are only part of the problem. tornadoes touched down south of austin and san antonio. peeling a roof off a high school. and high winds hurled a truck trailer on top of a hotel. no one was injured. in south texas, lightning knocked out the radar at the national weather service in brownsville. within minutes, people watched

the swollen blanco river crest above flood stage. >> flooded within 15 minutes. >> reporter: here in wimberley, the rain has ended, but the clean up is just beginning. just two weeks ago, central texas was in the middle of a drought with threatening wildfires. now with the halloween rains, october is one of the wettest on carson. >> charles for us in wimberley, texas. and this comes as the team's american special operations forces heads to syria in a mission announced by the white house. one that took many by surprise. nbc's keir simmons joins us with more. >> about good morning, erica. we were inside the area in syria where the troops will be deployed. u.s. special forces in syria is getting mixed reaction. senator mccain says it is

insufficient to resolve the crisis. this is the battle field u.s. special forces will enter. a multisided civil war. ruthless, urban combat. there are isis position over there and across the horizon and there where you can see the smoke rising from the intense battle for this syrian city. in northern syria this summer, kurdish fighters showed me cell phone footage of areas liberated from isis. isis fighters inject themselves with drugs, they said, before launching suicide attacks in vehicles packed with explosives. fewer than 50 u.s. special forces will be here to train and advise, calling it an expansion and not a change of policy. while admitting it is risky. >> as it relates to their mission, this is an important thing for the american people to understand. these force does not have a combat mission. >> reporter: in 2013, the president promised no ground war

in iraq or syria. >> my answer is simple. i will not put american boots on the ground in syria. >> reporter: the u.s. strategy to defeat isisas stalled despite 3,300 troops in iraq, while russia has launched its offensive in syria. the foreign minister insisting the confrontation with the u.s. is avoidable an. this is a complex battle field. iranians and kurdish militia and al qaeda and moderates along with isis. the area descends into more conflict, more desperate refugees will flee for their lives. while we were in the kurdish control area of syria where special forces will operate, two forces struck the town. there are systemmpathizers throughout the region. >> thank you, keir.

nice to have you in the studio. and to a new poll that has donald trump and ben carson in a dead heat and jeb bush's numbers slip and marco rubio picking up steam. hallie jackson is in iowa where they will be campaigning later today. >> reporter: hi, carson. jeb bush looking to reset and show he can still win after a last place debate finish in our online poll. jeb bush tailgating in tallahassee with his game face on. but playing from behind with a new nbc news survey monkey online poll showing he did the worst. rubio now responding to the leaked bush campaign memo that outlines attack strategy. >> i don't think it is smart for republicans to do hillary clinton's job for her.

one of the reasons why we lost in 2012 is republicans attacking each other. >> reporter: he is picking up support from billionaire mega campaign. both candidates on the campaign trail in iowa today along with a slew of others. many lashing out after the >> it was flagrant example of media bias. >> reporter: all agree on one thing. set to compare about the showdown on cnbc. not invited? the republican national convention. the business network owned by the same parent company as ours has said people who want to be president of the united states should be able to answer tough questions. now the rnc announcing suspending its partnership with nbc and telemundo for a debate later this winter. nbc news calling that a disappointing development.

to resolve the matter with the republican party. the next debate is less than two weeks away. the challenge for cruz and rubio is to see if they can keep up the momentum and translate that to support at the polls. carson. >> hallie, thank you. let's turn to sheinelle who has more on the deadly nightclub fire. >> witnesses say the romanian nightclub say it burst into flames within seconds. the stampede left 27 dead and more than 200 injured. the crews could be seen trying to resuscitate victims. officials say about 400 customers were in the bucharest club when the fire broke out. and students at spring valley high school staged a fields. fields was removed as school

it will push into louisiana. the dip in the jet stream allows the moisture to stream in and it is tropical like in nature. the downpours produce a couple of inches of rain in a short period of time. this is the jet stream. this is going to carry the rain through parts of texas and louisiana. we also have some tornado watches in effect right in and around houston. heavy rain continues through this morning. it will start to move eastward. flash flood warnings in austin and houston. we are looking at the chance of another couple inches of rain. through the day, the rain will spread eastward. southeast. florida. we are looking at the flash flooding with 3 to 4 inches of rain and some isolated higher
