8:00 am
good morning, america. happening right now, new outrage at the mh-17 crash site. emergency workers say they were forced to hand over the bodies of the victims to the rebels, some of them allegedly drunk. where have they taken them and how can the culprits be brought to justice? amidst the crime scene chaos. caught on camera, hot air balloon goes bust. [ screaming ] >> oh, my god! >> what the operator was trying to do when it suddenly exploded. and how the people on board managed to survive. ground gives way, a giant sink hole swallowing up a neighborhood in florida. >> out of nowhere, the earth went straight up in the air, exploded up in the air. >> people ordered to get out. will this 120-foot hole threaten more homes?
8:01 am
♪ and remembering james garner. >> hold it a minute, huh? >> the star of "the rockford files." >> this is no time to be afraid, birdie boy. >> and leading many who charmed us with his role for half a century in hollywood has passed away. hey, good morning, everybody. let's get straight to our lead story. new developments in the downing of mh-17. here's what we know at this hour. in the latest outrage at the crash scene -- pro russian rebels have taken away 196 of the bodies recovered thus far. there seems to be no real plan for what to do with the remains right now. >> meanwhile in the netherlands, the country where many of the victims lived and from where the flight originated, church services were held as anger grows over the disregard
8:02 am
for the dead. and thousands of miles away, malaysia airlines announced hours ago it's retiring the mh-17 flight number out of respect for its crew and passengers. our coverage beginning this morning with abc's terry moran who is at the scene. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. what is happening out here to the bodies and the evidence is in many ways shocking. 196 bodies have been recovered. 169 of them now sitting in refrigerated boxcars at a railway station in a village not far from here. the rebels are in control. either they aren't saying what will ultimately happen to them or they don't know. they suggested they'll go to russia. other bodies are being stored in nearby hospitals. so the anguish of the families deepens. and much of this vast crime scene, crash site, remains unguarded and the evidence unexamined. no clear perimeter. no one in charge. no one taking responsibility. >> we have proof.
8:03 am
we have evidence that it was planned. and it was committed with the participation of the russian federation. >> reporter: this crash site now arguably the world's biggest and most disputed crime scene. >> we found bodies of 196 victims. >> reporter: most of the bodies taken away in truckloads and are now under rebel control. >> rescue work is complicated because gunmen, terrorists are present there. they don't allow rescue groups there to work. >> reporter: armed gunmen, some of them masked, hover over the wreckage and standing in the way of a european team of observers. limiting thash access and allowing them to stay no longer than 75 minutes. here, a pro-russian fighter seen holding up a toy. found among the debris. the dutch prime minister furious, calling the handling of the crash site and the victims downright disgusting. while an international squad of investigators have started to
8:04 am
trickle into kiev, including two fbi representatives and a dutch forensics team, the pressure is now on vladimir putin to force the rebels to back off, and let international investigators begin the painstaking search for answers. >> our focus is on securing the site so there can be a proper international investigation to identify the cause and the perpetrators so we can bring them to justice. >> reporter: in the midst of the chaos, the flight's black boxes are still missing. the blame game continues. >> russia is trying today, they're trying to not be responsible for this. and they want to blameny, anyone not to be responsible. >> reporter: so there is outrage building around the world. and there is that investigation team ready to get on to this site to get on to the evidence that's out here, scattered throughout the fields.
8:05 am
but they're waiting for a cease fires. neither the ukrainian government or the rebels in control of the site have agreed on that yet. >> terry moran, thank you for your reporting. so many questions. let's bring in abc news chief anchor and host of "this week." george stephanopoulos. good morning. >> hey, dan. >> given the outrage about the treatment of the bodies, the chaos at the crime scene, and the fact that the rebels apparently shot the plane down in the first place, to the belief of many, does that put pressure on vladimir putin? >> no question about it. he's placing the blame on ukraine. you have evidence that -- u.s. intelligence, international intelligence point to a russian missile in territory held by the separatists. they couldn't have done this without the training, the support of the russian military. we know that military equipment from russia had been going across that border. what you see is the pressure building.
8:06 am
the british prime minister, david cameron, and the dutch prime minister saying sanctions will intensify if vladimir putin doesn't take responsibility. >> he doesn't seem to be backing down in any way. >> not at all. but yo have to think, is he going to take this opportunity for some kind of a deescalation in the ukraine? that conflict had not been going well for him ever since russia seized crimea several months ago. right now, he's not backing down at all. he's still, as i said, placing the blame on the ukrainian government. >> george has a big show this morning. with the cry crises brewing. he'll go one on one with both secretary of state john kerry and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. later this morning. bianna, over to you. >> two huge international developments. to the latest controversy that has the new york city police department under fire after an officer was caught on camera apparently applying an illegal choke hold to a suspect that died a short time later.
8:07 am
the family is calling it an excessive use of force. ron is following this story. hey, ron. >> good morning to you, bianna. the investigations are still ongoing and the cause of death of the man who died is still undetermined. new york city police have taken ditz plin nair action against one of the officers, placing him on modified duty. that is, taking him off the street. this morning, officer daniel pantaleo has been stripped of his gun and badge. he's the same officer seen here allegedly choke-holding 43-year-old eric garner. garner later died. and the videotape of the incident has gone viral, creating a firestorm of controversy. on the streets of staten island, where garner died, demonstrators blame the police for his death. >> something has to be done about the racist precinct. >> reporter: at a rally, anger and anguish. >> an unarmed man was subjected
8:08 am
to a whoekwhoek chokehold. and the result is he is no longer with us. >> reporter: as sharpton speaks, garner's wife collapses by his side. at issue, whether garner was placed in a chokehold, in violation of new york police department policy. but also, did police officers pile on to him after they had him pinned to the ground? another potential violation of nypd policy that warns against standing or sitting on a suspect. law enforcement forces say garner had a long arrest record, mostly misdemeanor charges. for selling lucys, individual cigarettes purchased out of state. the patrolman's union issued a statement. sometimes they have to employ the use of force in order the get compliance from a individual. out of context, necessary force can be seen as excessive. as new york mayor bill de blasio left overnight on his summer
8:09 am
vacation, there are new calls for more disciplinary action against the officers who confronted garner, including pantaleo who was waving at the camera. neither pantaleo or the other officer seen in the video with garner have been suspended. they're on desk duty pending the investigation. prelim autopsy results show garner did not suffer damage to his wind pipe. or neck bones. even if that is the case, it does not necessarily mean the officers will not face criminal charges. still ongoing. >> the video is tough to watch. another breaking story this morning. the wildfires in the west. look at this. you can see the smoke from up in space. this picture taken from the international space station. almost 200 homes have been destroyed. firefighters are looking to the weather for some sort of break. brandi hitt is in one of the hardest hit spots. pateros, washington. brandi, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan.
8:10 am
this is one of the homes destroyed by the fire. the only thing recognizable is the family's snow blower. once fire crews start gaining ground, they get hit by wind. it's pushing the fire into new areas. putting more families on edge. homes once spared by fierce flames are now in danger again thanks to strong, shifting winds. >> this is all burned now. >> reporter: the county sheriff frank rogers took us inside the fire command center in central washington and says, he's concerned two large wildfires scorching 340 square miles will soon combine into one monster fire. is this going to get worse? >> we have fires, but i have never seen fires where it goes to the towns. >> reporter: the sheriff believes close to 200 homes have likely burned. after he uncovered new areas of devastation. >> there was probably 20, 30 homes destroyed as we're driving in. it's totally destroyed. >> reporter: strong winds are kicking up the flames. you can see the thick black across the scorched earth behind
8:11 am
me. that smoke is now being blown as far east as chicago. help is on the way. two military c-130 airplanes seen here in prior missions are available to drop 3,000 gallons of water or retardant in just five seconds. after evacuating his neighborhood twice this week -- >> don't try this at home. >> reporter: -- greg howard says he's grateful for the tired firefighters who saved his home. >> thank you. god bless every one of you. thank you so much. >> reporter: no reports of serious injuries. neighborhoods like this one could be without electricity for at least a month. because so many power poles have been destroyed, dan and bianna. >> n no electricity in the midd of summer on top of that. not pleasant at all. brandi, our thanks to you. back to ron with the other stories evolving overnight. we begin in the middle east. a temporary humanitarian cease-fire has just ended. this after some of the fiercest
8:12 am
fighting overnight. as israel expanded military operations in the strip. alex marquardt is right there in gaza with the latest. alex? >> reporter: good morning, all night and into this morning, israel has been pummeling this eastern gaza neighborhood with tank shells. we can hear them landing every few seconds. a river of people has been pouring out of this neighborhood. men, women, children, young and old. you can see the looks of terror on their faces. this is as close as we can get to that front line. we're told there are dozens of bodies in the streets. dozens more wounded. the people here not knowing where to flee to. looking for any car to get them away from this violence. this, as ambulances carrying the wounded pour into gaza's main hospital. at the same time, hamas and the other militant groups firing rockets into israel. there have been reports of israeli soldiers being killed this morning. israel is stepping up the ground assault on gaza. back to you. >> thank you, alex marquardt, reporting from gaza.
8:13 am
and back here in the u.s., some terrifying moments in the skies over clinton, massachusetts. people recording the seemingly calm hot air balloon ride. the balloon tried to land, it slams into powerlines. causing a huge explosion and fireball. six people riding in the gondola. three of them suffered second and third-degree burns. the faa is investigating that incident. pretty amazing video there. and a tour bus erupted in flames along a busy stretch of new jersey highway. fire officials say there were no passengers on board that bus, fortunately. the driver was not injured. police are investigating. and "the wall street journal" facebook page appears to have been hacked overnight. someone posted two fake posts implying that air force one may have crashed and that vice president biden would address the nation. the journal quickly deleted the erroneous posts. 45 years ago. the first people to land on the moon. the journey made famous by these words.
8:14 am
>> one small step for man. one giant leap for mankind. >> to celebrate, buzz aldrin, the second man to set foot on the moon's surface is on a new mission. launching the #apollo45, asking people to recall where they were during the famous landing. the famous and not so famous have posted videos of how they experienced that day. and finally, a baseball blunder. not by a player. by the ball girl. a line drive by the kansas player. it landed fair. she interfered with it. look at the look on her face. she realized quickly she had done the wrong thing. she tries to drop the ball. like that's going to make up for it. put it down on the ground. you're okay. it doesn't work that way. [ laughter ] pretty embarrassing, you have to admit. fortunately, it did not matter in the end. because boston, the red sox, beat the kansas royals, 5-4. look at that face.
8:15 am
isn't that great? >> it wasn't me. >> that never happened. >> put the ball down. >> i occasionally find myself wearing that face on this set. once in awhile. >> occasionally? >> maybe every 30 or 40 seconds. ron, thank you. great newscast. it was a sleepless night for people in central florida. their homes threatened by a huge sinkhole. authorities warning them to pack up and leave. michelle franzen has more. >> reporter: this morning, a sinkhole has residents in this florida neighborhood on alert and on the move. a gaping hole is threatening homes on this spring hill street. >> very scary. out of nowhere, the earth just went straight up in the air. exploded straight up. dirt and everything. then fell down. >> reporter: take a look. chunks of pavement sliced up and sliding into a hole 30 feet deep, 120 feet wide. it's the latest scare in the state where officials say sinkholes are a fact of life. since 2010, nearly 300
8:16 am
ground depressions in the sinkhole-prone zone of the state. the town of spring hill is about 50 miles away from sethner, where the ground below this home swallowed owner jeffrey bush while he slept. his body was never recovered. back in spring hill this morning, officials are monitoring the depression's th. as witnesses say it nearly doubled in size in just a few hours. now police have closed that area until further notice. and engineers are assessing the damage to decide how to deal with it. so how do you deal with a sinkhole? some of the quick fixes could be filling it up with sand an cement. that's a long way off right now. >> or moving. >> or moving if you can. >> thank you, michelle. appreciate it. >> thanks, michelle. we're going to stay in florida. we bring you a health update this morning. for the first time, mosquitos are spreading a painful viral disease that has been running rampant through the caribbean. and infecting hundreds of those who have travelled there. now two people in florida has gotten chikungunya infections
8:17 am
contracted here in the u.s. dr. richard besser joins us with more. good morning, dr. besser. tell us, what is this disease? >> chikungunya is a nasty disease. it's a virus spread by mosquitos. fever, muscle aches, joint pain. the joint pain can last for many months. that's the thing that distinguishes it. >> how alarmed are you that it's usually acquired abroad and these are the first two cases we have seen acquired here domestically? >> we've been watching for this. it arrived back in december in the caribbean. there were a few cases. there are now hundreds of thousands of cases. we expected we would see disease here. the idea here is a mosquito from the caribbean hitched a ride to the u.s. and infected someone. or a mosquito bit a traveler who had returned who was sick and then that mosquito infected someone else. >> you've spoken to people at the fda. how nervous are they? >> i had a long talk with the
8:18 am
head of mosquito-borne disease. we may see clusters. we use a lot of air conditioning. the windows are closed. mosquitos don't have access to people's homes like they do in other countries. he doesn't expect it to be widespread. >> preventative tips? bug spray? >> it's west nile virus season. you want to avoid mosquitos. bug spray, get rid of standing water, make sure your screens are in tact. and that will reduce your chances of getting this disease. >> great tips, dr. b. thank you. >> thank you, dr. b. this morning, we take a moment to remember a towering hollywood figure. james garner has died at the age of 86. >> he may be best known for his long-running series "the rockford files." he also starred in 50 films. sara haines is here. what comes to mind, "the notebook." >> his career spanned decades. he was one of the first actors to succeed in television and film. social media has been blowing up with the sad news of his passing. fans tweeting about the favorite roles he played.
8:19 am
but allude tolg the great man he was as well. man who enjoyed an amazing career. >> travis. you know, i fell for that once myself. works pretty good, doesn't it? >> reporter: james garner had a singular talent for having a smart mouth in a tough spot from his it thit tv show, "the rockf files." >> you aren't going to shoot anybody. we both know it. put that thing away before you have an accident. >> reporter: to "the great escape." >> we want to take some snapshots. >> reporter: to his role as brett maverick. >> let's get out of here, maverick. you don't want any trouble. >> you're right, doc, not that kind. >> reporter: years later, the black and white western was remade into a movie costarring mel gibson. >> this is no time to be brave. >> reporter: he continued his career in such movies as support your local sheriff and his role as wyatt earp. in the movie "wire of the gun."
8:20 am
he was nominated for an oscar in "murphy's romance." in 2005 he was presented with a lifetime achievement award from the screen actor's guild. >> i don't know if i deserve this award. please, for just tonight, you'll forgive me if i act like i do. >> reporter: and act is what he continued to do. on the big screen in movies like space cow buoys and my fellow americans, and after taking on one of the biggest roles of his career in "the notebook," and entire generation might define true love as when james garner reads his diary aloud. >> i think we can do anything we want to do. >> reporter: james garner was 86. i think it's fitting we end on "the notebook." there's a whole generation that knows him just from that. and yet his legend and icon status was set years ago from the classic roles. at 86, he led such a full life. >> there's such an interesting gender divide. ron and i never saw "the notebook." we remember him from the polaroid commercials. >> i remember him from
8:21 am
