two hours into a flight and you are told to turn around to make an emergency landing. and then you see this out your window. the wing of the plane engulfed in flames. that was the case for 241 passengers and crew on a singapore flight overnight, and tom costello covers aviation for us. >> this was singapore flight 368 leaving for italy, and a warning light forced the pilot to move back and just in time, and once on the ground an engine and then a wing burst into plane. a terrifying sight no passenger wants to see, the engine and then the wing on fire. the boeing 777 on its way to milan, italy, was forced to turn around, the airline says, following an engine oil warning message and moments

an emergency landing the engine caught fire and passengers had to wait inside the plane until firefighters could douse the planes. a woman took these images, i am going hug my kids. all passengers and crew members got off the plane safety and singapore airlines will investigate fully to determine what went wrong. >> it was probably dumping fuel on the way back to the airport and some of the fuel may have clung to the wing, and rescue crews on the ground there quickly and prevented something far worse from happening. now to two devastating natural disasters here at home. it killed dozens in a powerful wildfire in california that has already destroyed hundreds of homes. we have both covered

with dylan dreyer. good morning. >> nearly 10 inches of rain fell in just 12 hours causing devastating flash flooding. you can see behind me what was a two-lane road down to one lane, and the other lane washed away, and crews trying to repair the road. this is a rain event that is expected only once every 1,000 years. the damage is plain to see. many businesses including this dairy queen completely destroyed. thousands remain without power as residents throughout the state begin what is expected to be a long and expensive cleanup. >> somehow it didn't get dirty. >> the national weather service is calling it a

event, massive flooding so powerful that cars and even homes were swept away. over the weekend, a controlled release of water after rainfall caused lake water to rise 38 feet in one day. on sunday president obama declared parts of the state a major disaster area clearing the way for federal funds. in the aftermath, 300 national guard troops had been deployed, many of them trying to salvage what is left. >> i don't know where to start. i just sit and i cry. >> the storm leaving many residents shocked by the extent of the damage. >> it's hard. sometimes you just feel like giving up and quitting. >> but amid the devastation, signs of hope. >> all you can do is give people a hugging and a shoulder to lean on and food in their belly. >> members of several different churches attended a joint service in the parking lot where relief efforts are under way. >> ino

preacher, where is god in this? he is right here. >> more storms are expected later today and if the heaviest rain occurs in some of the hardest hit areas it could lead to additional flash flooding. fema is encouraging people that suffered losses to register online or call. let's turn to california. crews are slowly starting to gain ground on a deadly wildfire that destroyed hundreds of homes north of los angeles and nbc's gaudy schwartz. >> this particular area is still under evacuation orders, but still people that lived here are finding a way to sneak back here in discovering there's nothing left. during the firstgh

fire, dozens of homes exploded. roads covered in smoke and flames. five miles away danny walker thought he was safe. t he was sa. >> it was quick. real quick. >> reporter: on the second night, the firestorm destroyed over 200 homes burned everything danny owns. >> reporter: >> i lost everything. >> reporter: we were there as danny saw the smoldering remains of his home for the first time and he was hugging his dog named bear who he thought was lost. >> everything is gone. but he stayed, he's good. >> two of his other dogs have not been seen since the fire and danny is one of hundreds that lost everything in the fire, and neighbors also sifting through the debris. signs of life in the rubble. >> i heard

picked up the roof and there he was. so many people out here in this situation. at 10:00 today authorities are going to begin discussing how to repopulate this area and how to lift the evacuation zones and many people are going to be coming home to this, and there are several area charities that are accepting donations including the red cross. matt? >> gaudy, thank you very much. >> and we wish we had better news. especially starting off with the fires. a lot of active fires going on right now, and it's going to be sunny and hot today, 101, and dry and gusty winds all week long so not a lot of help there. and we have a series of fronts passing through, flash flood wath

including a good portion of west virginia, and as the fronts push through some could be severe and we could be looking at gusty winds through tuesday. in the meantime, as we look at rainfall amounts, not going to take a lot to cause more flash flooding, and could be upwards of three inches of rain in some of the areas, but for the most part it's going to be about one to two inches and again with the ground completely saturated and all the rain they have gotten it won't take much to exacerbate all that flooding. let's talk about the fallout from britain's surprise vote to leave the european union. it caused markets around the world to plummet so what will happen on wall street this week? we have two reports beginning with nbc's kaer simmons in london. good morning to you. >> reporter: shares in two british bankings were briefly suspended with the uk and europe in

politics here in britain, america's closest ally, in a virtual meltdown. >> i am absolutely convinced we will be able to work through this in a sensible and thoughtful way that takes the best strengths of the yield and the best strengths of the marketplace and the best interest of our national security. >> reporter: the man in charge of the finances addressing the crisis attempting to calm european markets. >> it will not be plain sailing in the days ahead but let me be clear you should not underestimate our resolve. we are equipped for whatever happens. >> britain will take its time before leaving the european union, he said, but

kingdom is deeply divided this morning. the dark mood made worse. the pope yesterday urging unity and understanding. there is something not working in the european union, he said, and not throw the baby out with the bathwater and many of the european leaders seem in no word to compromise. the united states made clear it did not want britain to leave the eu and secretary clinton expected to urge them not to, and some saying we need to replace hate with hope. >> kaer simmons in london. and jim, before we talk about what this is going to mean here,

and in the uk and great britain still don't know what this is going to mean, and the number one google search is eu. >> they were completely unprepared and thought it would be the other way and the government didn't know what it was doing in terms of convincing people they should stay, and this is a country that imports 50% of its goods, and in terms of the financial chaos and collapse, it's just one of the worst moves i have seen. >> if you are close to retiring or thinking about it or in retirement at this point, and to hear the word chaos and understand people don't understand the ramification, how do we process that at that point in your life? >> hard for people on the fixed income to be able to profit and if you are an investor, it's very unlikely the federal

>> the banks over there are terrible and leading the market down. we saw a 2% decline on top of the 3% decline we saw on friday that would be highly unusual. >> you say over there, does that exist anymore in a global market? >> it does from the point of view we are so much stronger than we are, and their banks never had to put up capital and they just didn't do it right after their recession. >> jim, thanks. you will come back in the next half hour with some specific ways to protect your money during the brexit impact. meantime, donald trump has been under fire for his response to the vote during a quick business trip to scotland. this morning our new poll shows hillary clinton widening her lead over him in the national race, and peter alexander is in washington. >> let's get right to it. the numbers you just saw, the poll shows dona

ground, and now trailing hillary clinton by five points, and clinton's advantage ticking up only slightly compared to one month ago as trump tries to get his campaign back on course. just back from his trance atlantic promotional tour touting his scott issue golf course, his campaign is still stuck in a bunker. and clinton is shown up 12 points, a poll trump led last month. >> they wanted to take their country back. i have great respect for that. >> i don't want to have a plummeting pound, and if it does plummet i do well, and if it doesn't i do well. that's what i do. >> we are going to have a good convention and we are confident we are not behind the clinton

faces an uphill climb. >> look, it's up to the american people to decide, and this morning donald trump has one less republican to rely on, george will saying he left the party altogether after calling trump a counterfeit republican, and trump firing back on his favorite platform, twitter, calling the pulitzer prize winner overrated. >> thank you. hillary clinton is campaigning in ohio today, and she will share the stage with massachusetts senator, elizabeth warren, so could that be a potential vp addition. andrea mitchell in cincinnati and good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. elizabeth warren is

clinton's best weapon. hillary clinton inching up in the polls and marching in new york city's gay pride parade on sunday but could the popular tsunami that swept britain hit clinton next, and clinton's answer is an ad. >> every president is tested by world events. but donald trump thinks about how his golf resort can profit. >> and clinton took another dig at trump sunday night. >> bomb pwasic comments in turbulent times can actually cause more turbulence. best sal pitch to angry voters fed up with washington could come today from massachusetts senator elizabeth warren. >> we need to elect hillary clinton to be president. >> reporter: warren even dropped in at clinton's brooklyn campaign headquarters to rally the troops. >> we got to get this done. >> reporter: warren was the last democratic senator to endorse clinton and not until the primaries were

and for years she slammed clinton for taking wall street money. >> she has taken money from the groups and more to the point, she worries about them as a constituency. >> reporter: still with bernie sanders refusing to endorse hillary clinton yet and only grudgingly saying he'll even vote for her, warren is being vetted as a possible running mate . >> reporter: sources close to the campaign tell me that the frontrunner for that job is still virginia senator and former government, jim cane. matt and savannah -- sorry, tapl run. the supreme court is expected to announce today a major decision on texas abortion law in what could be the most significant ruling on the issue in years. the law requires doctors performing the procedure to have admitting privileges at local hospitals and clinics to meet hospital grade standards. the question, do those requirements on abortion providers pose an

on women? about half the clinics in texas have closed since the law was passed in 2013. tens of thousands of people turned out on sunday tens of thousands of people turned out across the country to march in the gay pride parade. and the parade started in a moment of silence, and the owner of the nightclub rode to the lead float. and record crowds saw a strong police presence and millions of people attended pride parades in chicago, san francisco and seattle. >> and a lot of beautiful weather, and you refer to it as the chamber of commerce. we will show you what we have going on the rest of the country, wide swath of showers stretching from new york state all the way down into the gulf coast and strong risk of strong storms in the central plains. it's going to stay hot through the southwest, but we look for temperatures finally
