`was found barely breathing as `family and friends rally by his `side. ` and one of the craziest `baseball plays you'll ever see. `the catcher hits the player's `bat with a flow, a runner scores `to take the lead, even the `umpires are confused. `>> they're going crazy. `>> fans throw bottles on the `feel, benches clear not once but `twice. `we'll show you what happened `next. ` everybody, just calm down. `>> good morning, america. `talk about a seventh inning `stretch. `took 53 minutes for the seventh `inning right there. `what a crazy game. `the rangers versus the blue `jays, see that runner come home. `he was allowed to run even `though the umpire was waving it `off. `it was just an insane inning. `we'll tell you what happened. `>> t.j. will have all the `details. ` but we begin with breaking `news. `president obama announcing he `will leave thousands of troops `in afghanistan beyond next year, `halting the withdrawal.

`abc's martha raddatz has all the `details, joins us from `washington. `good morning, martha. `>> reporter: good morning, `robin. `all of the nearly 10,000 troops `we have now in afghanistan were `supposed to be out by the end of `next year, except those at the `embassy, but the president will `now leave as many as 5500 troops `beyond 2016, their mission will `be similar to what it is now, `counterterrorism operations and `training and assisting the `afghan troops. `the commanders just felt the `afghan forces were not ready to `be on their own and as we've `seen over the last few months, `the taliban is once again on the `rise and isis is as well, robin. `>> how much does this have to do `with what happened in iraq when `president obama pulled out u.s. `forces there and only for them `to return later? `>> reporter: well, that was a `big consideration, robin. `there's been a lot of criticism `and spendinglation that if the `u.s. had had a presence, we `would have been able to track `isis better in iraq or at least

`but today's announcement is a `big step for president obama, `who was the man who wanted to `end both wars only to find them `both flaring up again, robin. `>> all right, martha, we'll see `how this plays on capitol hill. `>> he did not want to make this `decision but felt forced into `it. ` that disruption overnight at `some of the biggest airports in `the country. `customs computers shut down `delaying thousands of passengers `raising serious questions about `security. `abc's aviation correspondent `david kerley has all the latest. `good morning. `>> reporter: good morning, `george. `dulles international airport, `one of the airports hit `overnight, a computer glitch `making it difficult to get in or `out of the country. `line, long lines all a result of `the computer system that checks `the terror watch list, the no `fly list against those who do `want to fly. `it went down meaning getting in `and out of the country was not `easy. `customs and border patrol says `it does have means to check the `no-fly list with those trying to `board planes, but obviously it

`slowed the system dramatically. `>> it's crazy. `i never saw anything like this. `>> reporter: the department of `homeland security says there is `no indication this was a hack or `caused by terrorism. `>> they said it was a nationwide `computer glitch and we all had `to wait. `>> reporter: and wait, they did. `at international airports across `the country, all affected when `this system went down. `passengers taken to social media `with pictures of their line, one `saying, customs outage was a `blast. `the problem affected those `trying to leave or enter the `country. `overnight, customs and border `protection telling abc news, `quote, it experienced a `temporary outage and took `immediate action to address the `technology disruption. `now, temporary outage lasted `about 90 minutes. `customs and border protection `tells me they do have these `glitches often but don't `normally rise to the system `going down like it did last `night, robin. `>> quite a nightmare. `thank you. ` now to a wildfire in texas `exploding in size overnight. `thousands of acres burned.

`night desperate to keep the fire `from engulfing any more homes. `>> we're starting the operation `to light a backing fire to try `and get some containment on the `wildfire. `>> reporter: and firefighters `are making progress on that `number. `it is now up to 15% containment. `they obviously want that number `to go up but are facing another `day of hot temperatures, robin. `>> thank you, clayton. `we'll talk about that record `heat, powerful wind gusts in the `south are fueling that fire `right now. `ginger, you have more on that. `>> we could see broken records `from austin to houston, dallas, `jackson, little rock, pretty `much anybody on the map in the `okay and red there, just a few `hundred miles north and just `north of that cold front, oh, `it's cold. `freeze warnings and watches from `the northern plains by tomorrow `morning to chicago, suburbs `could see a frost and then you `go and the core of that cold air `moves to the east. `look how chilly atlanta, 44. `nashville, 37. `boston the old 32 by sunday `morning. `>> thanks very much. ` the race for president now, `"your voice, your vote." `and front-runners riding high.

`biden after wednesday night's `debate. `donald trump packing in more big `crowds. `abc's cecilia vega tracking it `all from las vegas. `good morning, cecilia. `>> reporter: george, good `morning to you. `we now know that debate `shattered records more than 15 `million viewers, hillary `clinton, bernie sanders out `there taking their victory laps `today as you said, donald trump `on the attack but this morning `here's the big question, can `both sides keep this momentum `going? `this morning, hillary clinton `may be feeling lucky in las `vegas, but the political focus `now back on the one person who `wasn't on that debate stage, joe `biden offering praise for his `fellow democrats on wednesday. `>> i was proud of -- i thought `they all did well. `>> reporter: but no hints about `his political future, even as `clinton's campaign packs on the `pressure. `>> i think with respect to vice `president, i think it's time for `him to make the decision. `>> reporter: clinton herself `brushing off a potential biden `bid.

`they're in or they're not in, `will have to make whatever `judgment is best for them. `>> reporter: her rival that is `in the race, making a victory `lap after tuesday's performance. `vermont senator bernie sanders, `that's him, dancing on "ellen." `>> who has better hair, you or `donald trump? `>> that goes without saying. `>> yeah. `>> reporter: that famous hair `drawing thousands to a rally in `virginia. `>> last night, with bernie `sanders and hillary and the `other three guys that nobody `even knows who the hell they `are, who are they? `>> reporter: but the donald `wasn't the only trump making `news. `ivanka saying her dad would make `a great president for women. `>> he's blunt, he's direct. `he is nongender specific in his `criticism of people. `he would be incredible for women `in this country. `>> reporter: and ivanka says she `is a close friend of chelsea `clinton and says politics and `friendship lines do not cross.

`i want to read you what she `said. `the politics of our parents is `not relative to our friendship, `george. `i'm not sure her parents would `be able to say the same thing `today. `>> let's hope they can keep it `up. `okay, cecilia, thanks very much. `to jon karl about this and, jon, `vice president biden saying he `was proud of what he saw on the `debate stage but it comes as a `lot of democrats seem to think `the door is closing on a `possible bid by him. `he's not saying anything. `>> reporter: no decision yet `from biden but i've got to tell `you i've spoken to a lot of `biden confidant, people very `close to the vice president, `there is a growing sense even `among them that he may have `waited too long, that the `decision is being made for him. `i mean, the debate, a big `factor, as one biden longtime `friend told me he needed to be `at that debate. `this biden friend said if you're `going to run for president you `actually need to run the party `instead of seeing a wounded `front-runner with hillary `clinton out there saw a very `strong performance for hillary `clinton and much less of a

`rationale for biden to get into `the race. `>> first deadline october 29th. `the vice president had lunch `with the president yesterday. `this could be putting the `president in kind of a tricky `situation. `what's the white house thinking? `>> reporter: well, i got to tell `you, i cannot find a single `senior staff member in the white `house, a single senior aide to `the president who thinks biden `is going to run. `the clear sense in the west wing `is that he will not run `although, george, all of those `senior officials acknowledge `that they don't know for sure `anything. ` a health alert about a `supplements. `a new study finds they are `responsible for sending more `than 20,000 people a year to the `emergency room. `many of them children and young `adults. `abc's dr. richard besser is here `and, rich, this is the first `study of its kind. `tell us more about what it `discovered. `>> the first time anyone has `taken a look to see, did there

`liquids and for anyone `especially thinking about taking `a weight loss or energy product, `talk to your doctor about the `possible side effects. `>> that is always good advice. `talk to your doctor and you'll `be on facebook and twitter. `>> all morning. `>> thanks, rich. ` now to new trouble at `walmart. `the world's largest retailer `announced a huge drop in profits `sparking billions of dollars `this losses for its stockholders `stockholders. `rebecca jarvis here with more on `what it may mean for your holl `shopping. `>> good morning, george. `that move affects almost `everyone with the retirement `savings account because walmart `is one of the most wildly held `stocks in the country but even `if you've never invested in the `market, walmart's struggles `today will mean deeper discounts `this holiday. `this morning, the world's `largest retailer facing a brutal `sell-off. `walmart's stock takataing `wednesday wiping out $21 billion `in value in a matter of hours. `the worst day in 27 years for `the company and it caused a

` 7:41. `back now with a family of a high `school football player who says `their son is severely `debilitated from hits he took on `the field. `they're suing the school `district claiming the coach put `the junior back in the game even `though he told the too much he `wasn't feeling well. `abc's matt gutman is here with `the news, exclusive, matt, good `morning to you. `>> reporter: 17-year-old trey `enloe said he was feeling `nauseated, dizzy, had headaches. `those are classic concussion `symptoms. `his doctor said he probably `suffered a concussion on the `first play of the game, but he `ended up playing the rest of it `making that brain injury so much `worse. `this is the moment trey enloe's `life changed. `number 60, the kicker, crashing `helmet-to-helmet with that `player. `>> when he got home that day and `his life changed. `>> reporter: during this junior `varsity game last year, the `18-year-old stumbling off the

`field asking his coach to bench `him. `his parents telling abc news `exclusive `exclusively -- `>> he was trying to tell his `teammate something about a play `and his words were slurred. `>> reporter: he was unable to `follow simple instruction `according to a suit his family `filed against the san diego `school district but his coach `allegedly sent him wobbling back `in saying, i don't have time for `this right now. `he ended up playing most of the `game suffering additional hits `and when a doctor finally saw `him -- `>> he motioned like you need to `get down here now. `that's when i knew something was `really wrong. `>> reporter: his family says `trey is now severely `debilitated. `>> he has very severe migrant `grains. `>> reading right now is very `painful for him. `he literally winces in pain. `>> reporter: the coach denied `the claims telling "the san `diego voice" it was never `communicated to me once that `trey was injured. `but the family attorney says `they have a strong case.

`>> you've got a coach that `violated every policy and `procedure to protect our young `students. `>> reporter: researchers at `purdue university recently `concluded that brain injury `among high school football `players like trey could be `shockingly per vasistic, roughly `50% of the players examined even `ones without concussion symptoms `showed changes to the neurology `and biochemistry of their `brains. `look at this preseason brain `scan of one player involved in `the study compared to the same `player's brain after the season. `the brain activity seems `changed. `>> once you've had a concussion `the risk of additional injury is `way up. `>> reporter: trey's concussion `happened a year ago tomorrow. `and his father worries there `still is not enough awareness. `>> this will play out this `weekend on football fields all `over america. `pay attention to how real this `is. `>> reporter: now, i want to show `you those images interest that `study. `take a look on the left.

`that's a brain of a healthy high `school football player before `the season starts. `see these orange and blue dots, `that's the circuitry the brain `is trying to use to complete a `tack. `now take a look at the right `side. `the same kid during the season, `see how those images on the `right, there's so many fewer `dots of the red and blue. `those are the ways in which the `brain has rewired itself to `complete that same task. `all to avoid using those damaged `areas and, remember, this is a `kid without a diagnosed `concussion and maybe the most `disturbing part of that study it `took up to five months for some `of those players' brains to `heal. `lara. `>> does the brain ever really `fully heal? `that's also the question people `are asking. `you played football, michael. `>> it is one of these things -- `it's this catch-22. `so many kids that want to play `and parents who want them to `play but you have to listen to `the kid. `if the kid says, i don't feel `well, these are the symptoms, `trust them they know what `they're talking about. `nothing worse than having some `kid injured over trying to win a `football game. `it's not important at all.

`and he and his wife lisa `welcomed another baby girl in `june. `abc's sara haines sat down with `the former reality tv star to `find out how he and his family `are doing. `>> reporter: how old is little `andy now? `>> andy is 16 weeks. `she -- me and my wife are `convinced she hates us already. `>> reporter: `>> you posted an `adorable video. `you're the reality tv guy. `is she okay with that. `>> she -- i've had to delete `pictures in the past that `i've -- videos i snuck of her. `she gets a little ticked off. `>> you don't ask for permission. `forgiveness. `>> i've learned now. `>> i could give you a tip or `two. `don't do that. `now you went on "dancing with `the stars" just about a year `after sharing your diagnosis. `was that extra special to not `only be able to do that but to `do so well? `>> i went in it being like, hey, `you know what, i'll do this and `prove a point, people with ms, `we are capable of doing what `everyone else can do and then

`after like three or four weeks `you're just like i'm going -- `i'm winning. `i'm going to keep going. `>> i'm taking this all the way. `you've been working with a `special cane to raise awareness `and dispel maybe some myths you `mentioned. `>> i partnered up and we started `this campaign called you don't `know jack about ms. `when i got diagnosed i'd go `online and go to certain medical `websites and this and that and i `couldn't find anything that was `here's ms. `here's what it is, here's some `information on how to take care `of yourself and here's some `people's experience. `>> what do you think the biggest `myth people have about ms is? `>> i mean there's so many. `i think probably the biggest `myth that i get frustrated by is `that, you know, i think people `automatically assume you're no `longer able-bodied and i think `that's a huge thing. `you'll have to be confined to, `you know, a wheelchair or what `anymore. `there's so many treatments out `there. `>> our thanks to jack and to

`info on the you don't know jack `about ms partnership on that `organization's website. `time now to head back outside `and ginger. `>> and, amy, all we can talk `about is the chill and then `we're starting to think, well, `let's go ahead and get warm. `but you get warm and go to south `florida, this is what's going to `happen. `you see a a beautiful sunrise but `then you may get rain and `storms. `that stationary front will stick `around. `a couple of inches of rain but, `of course a lot of those places `still wanting it after being in `the `kevin: temperatures 50' s to `lower 60' s. `a good deal of sunshine around `today. `clouds increased tonight. `tomorrow, a shower or two early `in the day. ` `>> all that weather brought to `you by amazon prime and now `michael is here with legendary `nfl tight end tony gonzalez `talking about their inspiring `documentary "play it forward." `michael.

`and i am here with tony gonzales `and, tony, yes. `tony, everybody. `and i got to say i had an `opportunity to play against you `when i was with the giants and `you were with the chiefs and you `were with the atlanta falcons `and made a documentary with you `detailing your journey `throughout your career and life `with your brother, chris, and `how was it to see this unfold at `the tribeca film festival to see `your life unfold in front of `everybody. `>> first of all it's surreal `when you see everybody looking `at the personal side. `that's always been the football `side but i was really proud of `the story that we told like you `said it was my journey to one of `the best years of my life. `we went to the nfc championship `life but my brother's journey `and the way it chronicled our `family and how we support each `other is a side of our nfl lives `that most people don't get to `see. `it was really unique from that `standpoint watching how we `support each other and how i `supported my brother through his `journey of becoming a fireman. `>> here's a player who brings a `family with him. `your case is a little different.

`you did bring your family with `you but it was your brother's `dream to play football and he `stepped in and did a lot of `things that a father would do `for you to make sure you made it `and how is the relationship with `your brother? `i know you two didn't talk for a `year and a half after this film `was made. `>> you know, he sacrificed a lot `of his life and his dreams to `really support mine and really `help me. `he was that confidant and that `no guy. `you have a lot of yes people but `he was that no guy. `you're not that good. `you're getting out of hand. `why don't we go home and shut it `down early. `after the doc was shot we `stopped talking and maybe that `was because football got taken `away. `that was always our common `ground. `what we always spoke about but `went through ups and downs but `we are talking today and it's `one of those things, you got to `get it wrong before you get it `right and i think our `relationship now is stronger `than ever. `>> and what do you hope people `take away from this film? `>> you know, like i debated on `whether or not to tell anybody `we stopped talking for a year `and a half after the documentary

`because we supported each other `but i want people to take away `the family dynamic and how we `support -- we're just one story `of many out there. `but like i said in the film `it'll make you laugh. `it'll make you cry but most of `all it's going to make you cheer `not just for sports but for `life. `just chasing your dreams and `getting after it and supporting `each other. `>> it's a family film. `talk about families supporting `each other, helping each other `reach their dreams. `that's what we're all about at `"gma." `we'll send it back to you, amy. `>> all right, thanks so much. `coming up your all access pass `to speaking of family i need `some help here, how to get away `with murder. `>> murder. `>> the cast sharing their `secrets about each other next on

`>> reporter: in real life, who `would you choose to be your `life? `>> no one. `>> reporter: who is most like `their actual character? `>> what! `i think aja. `>> sorry. `>> reporter: my class, carla `souz have wins the trophy. `interviewee which makes you the `best. `for "good morning america," nick `watt, abc news, los angeles. `>> i spent time before season `one, they are so much fun to `hang out with as you saw. `>> like a family. `>> nick always has fun with `those pieces. `>> catch a new episode of "how `to get away with murder" tonight `at 9:00, 10:00 central part of `the tgit lineup here on abc but `coming up next on "gma," tom `hanks opening up about his wife `rita wilson's health battle and

`out. `>> reporter: asked to personally `broker a spy swap during the `height of the cold war, his `client a convicted soviet spy `for a captured american u2 `pilot. `>> he was extraordinarily great `at sitting down and brokering a `deal and talking turkey and `let's both win here. `i've read that from the secret `of other like negotiators is `that the only successful `negotiation is when both sides `win. `>> the russians want their pan `back. `we want to you negotiate the `swap. `>> reporter: "bridge of spies" `already garnering early oscar `buzz, the fourth collaboration `spielberg. `>> what he does, he either comes `in and tells you exactly where `you're going to stand and `exactly what you're going to do `and then you do that and it ends `up being one of the most `powerful moments in the motion `picture. `>> next mistake our countries `make could be the last one. `>> you're telling me your acting `is intuitive.

`>> i read something and i know `instinctively to do it, that i `want to do it and how to process `it. `>> reporter: not a lot of drama `classes or method acting for `you. `>> no, actually the opposite. `every role i have taken has been `impacted upon by everybody else `that i interact with and i've `worked with phenomenal actors `that i've learned a lot from. `>> reporter: he's learned the `most perhaps from his life `partner, rita wilson. `>> we've been married for 27 `years. `>> reporter: i know she's had `some health challenges. `>> yeah, she was very open about `that, very smart about it. `part of it is because, look, you `know, people take our pictures `when we walk into restaurants `and she's not one to shy away `from authenticity and the truth. `>> so truth.
