a warning, some of the footage you're about to see may be graphic. >> reporter: a few minutes ago, i landed here at ataturk airport. came through the airport. you can still smell the fire damage, explosive residue. officials are telling us what happened. last night, around 10:00 p.m., the attackers arriving here if a taxi. armed with assault weapons. one of them was spotted, opened fire, and blew himself up. this morning, new video appears to show airport security footage as one of the bombs goes off. ? oh, my god! >> reporter: pan ached passengers scrambling. running down airport corridors. [ sirens blaring ] >> reporter: in this video, one of the three attackers appears to hit the ground after being taken down by police fire. a plim appears to stand over hi

running away. then another massive explosion. a third explosion outside the airport. it was just before 10:00 p.m. passengers rocked by three separate explosions and automatic weapons fire. >> people were shooting at one side. we all ran the other way. then the bombs went off. and people started running the other way. there was more shooting. >> reporter: two of the gunmen opened fire at a check point outside the airport. the third attacker set off explosives in the parking lot. people rushed to hospitals. this morning, the airport is back in operation. as investigators continue working at the scene. turkey's prime minister says all science point to isis being behind this attack. this is one of the busiest airports in the world. a major hub in the middle

istanbul has been the target of four terrorists a tacks this year alone. turkey used to be an island of stability many this region. all that has changed. >> we're going to talk to steven nabil, at the airport with his wife, returning from their honeymoon when this began. >> approximately right before 10:00, we had a flight come in from athens. we stopped at the airport. we had to leave the baggage claim area and leave the security area because we were not -- it wasn't connecting tickets. e we had to go to other arm check-in counters. we had to leave to get toward the door. e we went to the checkin area. our flight was a little later. we had to wait there. we sat by a restaurant area, it's called the cafe. it's approximately 30 to 40 yards from the door. the main door from t

that's when i left my wife with the baggage. i went to get some food for her from, there's a middle aisle sort of a third level. so i climbed the stairs. i was getting pizza when i heard the first bullets. i looked across and i saw the people running. i realized it's an take. my instinct kicked in. i ran as fast as i could toward the area she was in. >> you must have been terrified being separated from your wife? >> that was the worst feeling ever. i saw the sea of people flooding toward me. i was pushing through them to get to her. i was praying to god she didn't leave the area. as long as i could find her, i could take her to safety. i saw him in the corner. i saw the bullets flying. >> how long was he able to shoot? >> it was quite a bit. because the time it took me to come from upstairs all the way downstairs, to find her, grab her, take her to --

still shooting going on. we were in tunnel vision. i can't estimate the exact time. it was a few minutes he was praying. nonstop. >> you were holed up with hot water in case he came your way? >> i pulled her to the hallway. what the -- the time the other passengers took to evacuate, was the time i lost coming back their direction to find her. so we couldn't do that anymore. we were alone in the court. facing his direction. so we had to go in the hall behind us. the hall was open. i figured we'll be signature ducks in case he -- the fire kept going on. the bullets kept going on. i had broken into a sal lon. i broke in the sal lon with her. put her in a storage room, closed the door behind us. we heard the third blast then. i scrambled for some sort of a knife or something to protect her. she was

i was putting my hand on her mouth trying to keep her quiet. i found the tea ket wl hot water. i figured if he opens the door, my last resort would be dumping the water in his face, give her a chance to run while i wrestle him to the ground. that was the plan. that's when i realized we were just waiting, him walking the door. we were about 30, 40 yards from where he was. i figured, if there was a hostage situation. we didn't know how many people were coming to attack. we would have been the first ones to go because we were right there. >> thank goodness you're okay. >> such a chilling account. official say this attack has all the har marks of isis. brian ross joips us now with more on who might be behind the take. brian, there has -- has there been any kind of claim of responsibility? >> so far, this morning, robin, good morning, no claim from isis. which, today does mark a

that isis came into being. with al baghdadi becoming the caliph. isis has left a trail of carnage. they've inspired, directed, or otherwise claimed responsibility for some 77 attacks, killing 351 people. that does not include the thousands killed by isis in iraq and syria nor istanbul's attack. >> isis territory is less than what it was. the takes don't stop. is there any end in sight? >> not so far. the great concern is the call of isis to carry out attacks during ramadan. for those who carry out jihad in that time. it's a message that officials

let's get more from martha raddatz. you've been talking to your sources. as brian was saying, all signs right now pointing to isis. >> that's right, george. it was clear within hours this was likely the work of isis. this is the kind of place isis attacks. and exactly the international attention they strive to achieve. anytime you hit a transportation hub or an airplane, the impact of the bombing is magnified. isis expect ofd bringing down the airliner in egypt. >> that border so porous. fighters have tried to go through turkey to syria. >> exactly. turkey borders both syria and iraq. we followed in the footsteps recently of three british teenagers who arrived at the

yesterday who then took a bus to the border and crossed into syria to join isis fighters. it was very easy for them to get there. even these inexperienced teen agers. >> thank you. here in the u.s., security is increasing at some airports. david kerley is at reagan national in d.c. with the latest on that. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. americans are in line. going through security. traveling. the reaction by the airports is different than the attack back in march in brussels. yes, new york is increasing patrols. atlanta also increasing patrols. for other airports, it's visibility and vigilance. an undercover officer may be wearing tactical gear. others are studying intelligence determining if they need to increase patrols. do we need to move the security out from the check

front door, even out the the road. do we need to increase security in the baggage claim area? all questions we're asking after another attack. >> thank you, david. terror the key issue in the race for the white house. both hillary clinton and donald trump weighed in. >> reporter: overnight, donald trump reacting to the terrorist attack in istanbul. >> it's bad. and we better get smart. and we better get tough. or we're not going to have much of a country left, okay? >> reporter: the take in turkey coming as trump was taking on hillary clinton over the economy at a pennsylvania aluminum plant. >> it's time to declare our economic independence once again. >> reporter: in front of what looked like a mountain of garbage, trump accused clinton of trashing the economy. >> hillary is never going the bring your jobs back, folks. never going to bring your jobs back. don't

nafta, one of the worst. >> reporter: and accusing her of flip-flopping. >> the transpacific partnership is another disaster. done and pushed by special interests who want to rape our country, just a continuing rape of our country. that's what it is. it's a harsh word. it's a rape of our country. >> reporter: clinton striking a different tone. >> you really are upset about immigration? or you're upset about trade. but let's think about what we're going to do to create more opportunities for you, you churn, your grandchildren. >> reporter: now, hillary clinton did not react on camera to what happened in istanbul. but she did say that all americans stand with turkey. this morning, we're getting a preview of what donald trump's convention may look like.

boxer mike tyson. legendary coach mike ditka. former indiana basketball coach bobby knight and nascar ceo brian france are all going to make appearances. these are early talks. they'll possibly make appearances. there is no speaking roles yet slated. trump tweeting out that mike tyson has not been asked to speak. if he was, he would do a great job. >> he was up around midnight sending out that tweet. joining us now, nate silver, the founder and editor in chief of 538. he ran the table in 2012. we'll get your forecast now for 2016. you deal if probabilities. so what are the odds you're putting on the race right now? >> right now, hillary about a 75% or 80% favorite. >> that high? >> here's how to think about it. we're at halftime of the election right now. she's taking a

maybe a ten-point lead into half time. there's a lot of football left to be played. she's ahead in every poll. both have a lot of room to grow. she's at 43%. trump at 37%. historically, the last candidate to blow a lead this large was 1988, michael dukakis. >> he was up 17 points after the convention. let's break down how you get there. state by state, the electoral map. you think many more states may be in play than usual. >> it's been a crazy year politically. a few more states being if play. arizona looks like a tossup. maybe georgia. maybe missouri, north carolina again. >> had been safe republican states. >> we see arizona in particular. polls show clinton tied or ahead. missouri, less polling. they show very close. if trump gains ground, maybe a state like

swing state. >> he could win a vote. everyone will be skeptical because so few of us saw trump coming. back in august, you said he had about a 2% chance of getting the nomination. he got it. why so confident now? >> when i said 2% or 5%, or 10%? that wasn't based on the polls. don't try to outthink the pols and outthink the american public. trump has never been ahead of clinton in the general election campaign. he did great job of appealing to the 40% of the gop he had to win the election, the primary. a lot different winning 51% of 100%. >> what is the big x factor? >> what if you have an economic crisis, a terrorist attack? we have seen some. they haven't helped trump that much. it's a huge number of undecideds

or third party voters. >> nate silver, thank you. let's go to lara. thank you so much, george. at wimbledon, the cinderella story to watch, marcus willis. set to go up against roger federer. also making headlines, the tennis dress being called nike's nighty. this is the tiny dres causing big problems at this year's wimbledon. leaving little to the imagination. a slew of complaints from female layers. some say the dress is too short, flied above the waistline and upsets play. fans took to twitter calling it a nighty. and writing that swirly baby doll dress is a giant fail. you've made athletes look like little girls. nike reportedly sent an e-mail to the players.

small change to the dress. one tied a headband around her waist as a makeshift belt. another adding leggings. german ace sabine lisicki didn't wear it because she didn't feel come tortable showing that much. >> i love it. it's nice and short so you can move 5r7bd and the free with your movements. >> reporter: as for the number one seed, serena williams, she seemed to be enjoying it. instagraming, kinda in love with my wimbledon dress. the only problem, hers is from her own line. also goating attention, underdog marcus willis, ranked 772nd in the world. beating 54th rapged player berankis in an upset. the 4-year-old brit was about to give up his tennis dream only securing a

like a donald trump-sized wall. some neighbors saying the wall is not good. it doesn't seem very neighborly. flip side, on big properties i've been on in hawaii, lots of land owners use fences. a lot of them have cattle grazing or for privacy. zuckerberg's team says it mostly is a sound barrier. they say they're going respect the local land development, landscape environment and is considerate of his neighbors. i spoke to a resident. it's traditional lava rock. no big outcry. remember, every beach in hawaii is public. anybody can approach by water, paddle boarding right up to the beach in front of mark zuckerberg's house. >> i love the way becky says hawaii. i can't say it like

lots of good tips. the one that surprised me was the simplest i guess, do nothing. >> let's take a macro view. not true medical insomnia. the middle of the night waking. i think the concept of do nothing is an important reminder for doctors, health care providers, patients alike. sometimes less is more. it's watchful waiting. i do it all the time with my patients before jumping into a treatment. take a step back, relax, see what's going on. the do nothing concept when it comes to waking up in the middle of the night, don't reset your schedule. don't compensate the next day, even the you're feeling it. go about your normal schedule. it's really important. >> i think almost all of us here at "gma" break that rule. we love our

really, you're saying, don't try to sneak in that extra power nap, it's not going to help? it will hurt? >> exactly. most people when they're up a couple of nights in a row, middle of the night, what do they do? sleep later if they can the next day. go to bed earlier. take a nap. actually, you're interfering with your body's own circadian rhythms. power through. try to stick to the schedule. that gives you a better chance. >> my schedule includes naps. >> i do love those afternoon naps. if it does create a long-term problem, we have to listen. we're going to go now to former republican presidential hopeful mike huckabee paying through the nose for using a certain song without permission at rally he held for kentucky county clerk kim davis. take a look. ♪ rising up back on the street did my time took
