to land on a two-story building in the suburb of lagos, striking a store and apartments. >> translator: my children were outside playing ball. we asked them to look up because the plane was about to land on top of my head. and the minute it passed, it was going down. >> reporter: it was late afternoon. many people were in their homes when the passenger jet fell from the sky. thousands poured outside trying to find survivors in the burnt wreckage. >> the tail fin is clearly sticking up. you can still see the paintings on the part of the side of the wreckage. but then from there, up, basically the cabin of the plane had been destroyed and reduced to rubble. >> reporter: government officials say that all passengers and crew, around 150 people, are feared dead, with more likely casualties on the ground. nigeria has a poor air safety record. investigators are already trying to find out what caused a cargo plane from lagos to crash in

nearby ghana just yesterday killing ten people. now a new investigation into another major air disaster. the cause as yet unknown. well, emergency crews are still searching tonight, still hoping for some survivors. some good news as nigeria enters three days of natural mourning. >> thank you. back in this country, to yet another twist to the tha von martin case. george zimmerman surrendered to authorities today, two days after a judge revoked his bail. saying zimmerman and his wife lied to the court about how much money they had. we get our report tonight from nbc's charles hadlock. >> reporter: george zimmerman's six weeks of freedom while out on bond ended today. the 28-year-old former neighborhood watch volunteer accused of second-degree murder in the death of an unarmed

teenager was led away to an isolated cell in handcuffs. and his mug shot was taken. >> he's solemn, obviously. he's worried continually about his safety, having to come out of hiding is a concern of his. but i think he also realizes the judge's concerns. >> reporter: zimmerman's bond was suddenly revoked on friday when the judge in his case may have misled the court when he set bond at $150,000 back in april. the family said it was nearly broke. but it turns out zimmerman had at least $135,000 in a paypal account he set up for his defense. florida prosecutors on friday presented transcripts of jail house telephone conversations between zimmerman and his wife, in which they discussed their bank accounts. the state alleges they were talking in code. hiding the exact amount of money. >> it was misleading, and i don't know what other words to use than it was a blatant lie. >> reporter: the attorney for

trayvon martin's family proves zimmerman can't be trusted. >> his credibility is the most important thing in this entire case. >> reporter: judge lester was displeased and ordered zimmerman back to jail. and his wife, who the state says lied, may have to appear before the judge, too. >> he's worried about himself. he's worried about his wife. he's worried about his family, everyone who has to be in hiding because of the enormous anger and frustration that has spurred from this case. >> reporter: zimmerman's attorney says this may be just a misunderstanding. he will ask the court for a new bond hearing tomorrow and a chance for zimmerman to explain. meanwhile, the money zimmerman has raised online, some $200,000 now, has been turned over to a third party trust and cannot be directly accessed by zimmerman or his attorney. let's turn to the massive wildfire burning out of control in the south west. the whitewater baldy fire began as two small fires about two and

a half weeks ago. it's now grown into the largest wildfires in new mexico's history. >> reporter: today by helicopter, firefighters launch an aerial assault on a stubborn blaze difficult to reach. the nation's largest wildfire is steam rolling through the gila national forest. more than 240,000 acres charred so far. a massive swath of land. a fire that won't be out for weeks, or even months. >> the steepness of the terrain. we have steep terrain, where the canyons are 500 to 600 feet with vertical dropoffs. just trying to deal with ter rain like that makes it extremely difficult to suppress. >> reporter: the whitewater baldy fire has cost $13 million to fight. this weekend, crews in the historic mining town more than 150 years old was surrounded by three walls of fire.

crews beat back the flames. this week evacuation orders will be lifted. but the edge of this blaze is barreling through low-lying hills. bob and burt can see flames sweeping just above their home. >> they're a monster. if you look, see them right there? it's a monster. so, yeah. it's scary. >> reporter: sparked by lightning, the fire has burned for two and a half weeks. plumes of billowing smoke from new mexico can be seen for hundreds of miles. toxic air, fanned by wind gusts, topping 30 miles an hour. floating embers could ignite a new fire across a region stricken by drought. >> the winds are going to become a much bigger issue in portions of utah and western new mexico, where the whitewater baldy fire is. >> reporter: the conditions are ripe for a long, hot, dangerous fire season, one that's off to an early and in new mexico record start.

crews have made progress on the front lines. this blaze is now 17% contained. but the fire is still ripping through forest area. they say the big worry over the next couple of days is going to be the hot temperatures and gusty winds. lester? >> miguel, thank you. to presidential politics now, more fallout from the disappoint be jobs report. romney surrogates went on the attack. also an election this week in the state of wisconsin is getting a lot of attention nationally. both sides viewing it as a possible bellwether for the fall. nbc's mike has the story. >> reporter: they continued their attack. >> if we had a president who had a record to run on, he would do so. >> this president came into office without any prior experience running anything. >> reporter: senior obama staff slammed romney's record. >> they grew jobs at one-fifth the rate of the rest of the

country. it wasn't the record of a job creator. he had the wrong economic philosophy and he failed. >> reporter: both sides are bracing for a tight race. an early test could come tuesday in wisconsin, where the bitter fight to recall gop governor scott walker is being billed by both sides as a dry run in the presidential race. >> the whole country is watching us. this is an election that will send shock waves throughout america. >> reporter: in office just 18 months, walker ignited a firestorm for stripping public workers of collective bargaining rights and making them pay more into pension and health plans. a record $64 million had been spent on the recall. much of it from out-of-state unions and their opponents nationwide. national figures on both sides have weighed in, including bill clinton who campaigned with barrett. president obama has stayed away.

with walker holding a slight lead in the polls, experts say it could be a sign of things to come. >> there is no more polarized record than wisconsin. it's going to be a test run we'll see in november. >> reporter: and the race for the white house in november, lester, is tight and getting tighter. and to that end, it's going to be costly as well. president obama travels to new york city tomorrow for three separate fund-raisers with bill clinton. mitt romney out at six fund-raisers booked throughout the week. >> mike vi quer a. appealing the verdict in the trial of the country's former president hosni mubarak. crowds packed tahrir square, protesting the trial, which saw mubarak and his two sons acquitted of corruption charges. mubarak was sentenced to life in prison for failing to stop the killing of protesters in the uprising that ousted him. now to london, where more than 1 million people lined the banks of the river thames today
