good morning, america. happening now, the desperate fight over the victims of malaysia flight 17. bodies held hostage on this train, and a massive tug of war. and a new fight over control of the black boxes with key evidence. cranes moving evidence before investigators arrive, as fights rage on around the crash site. and the massive western wildfires turned deadly. dramatic drone footage shows the incredible devastation. this community, destroyed, these train tracks completely burned, and the moonscape left behind. oh, my god! >> brand-new video of this fiery balloon crash. this entire balloon going up in a rain of sparks, colliding with power lines.

why was the pilot landing in a busy suburban neighborhood? we know what "star wars" means to you. >> and a global exclusive from the set of "star wars." how you can go on location with the entire cast for the filming of one of the most-anticipated movies of all time. may the force be with you this morning. and we do say good morning, america, on this monday morning. and you just heard from the director, j.j. abrams, from the set of "star wars," standing by with that huge announcement. >> can't wait to get the details on that, but right not chaos at the crash scene. there it is live right now, investigators arriving right now, and russian president vladimir putin breaks his silence overnight. we have full team coverage, starting with abc's terry moran on the scene in ukraine. good morning, terry.

>> reporter: good morning,george. 272 of the 298 bodies have been recovered. they're in a nearby village. they'll leave the village today, but rebel authorities aren't telling us where they'll go. fighting is raging not far from here, complicating all the work at this site. this morning, international monitors, local machines still working on sunday, moving large pieces of the downed malaysian plane, removing more bodies from the wreckage. and, overnight, strong words from australia's prime minister. >> the russian-backed rebels, having those people in control of the site, is a little like leaving criminals in control of a crime scene. >> reporter: new video from local rebels recorded just after the crash. this man rummaging through a backpack. this weekend, local emergency workers carrying on the grim work of gathering bodies, turning them over to rebel authorities who are taking them by train. to a nearby village for storage.

inside these refrigerated boxcars lie the remains of those of flight 17. for nearly three days, they lay out in the sun at the crash site. their ultimate destination is unknown and in dispute. they're in limbo. desperate for closure, their son and boyfriend among the missing. >> they have to come back, mr. putin, send my children home. >> reporter: that closure can't come soon enough. this rebel thinks the train could leave today, as soon as all the bodies are collected, the train will leave, he says. and this video shot friday, apparently recovering a flight recorder, now saying they are holding both the plane's black boxes. and now this audio allegedly from rebel leaders, talking about hiding black boxes. "try to take everything you can find so it doesn't get into somebody else's hands." late word that the

a cease-fire, allowing the work to continue. george and robin. >> all right, terry. now to the missile that took down the plane, we're learning more about where it came from and who fired it. abc's martha raddatz from washington with more. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. u.s. and ukrainian intelligence helping to piece together the facts who provided the sophisticated missile battery and the training to operate it. and this morning, new evidence is pointing to russia. this morning, a u.s. official confirms three sa-11 missile batteries recently entered ukraine from russia, all three exited ukraine after the plane was shot down. >> there are an enormous array of facts that point at russia's support for and involvement in this effort. >> reporter: it was 1:00 a.m. thursday morning. ukrainian officials say one of the three sa-11 buk missile

launchers comes across the border from russia near the ukrainian village. ukrainian counterintelligence releasing an intercepted phone call, they say, is between a rebel fighter and a russian military officer. the rebel fighter allegedly asking, where should we unload this cutie? the military officer responding, is it what i'm thinking about? yes, buk, replies the rebel fighter. eight hours later, it reaches donetsk, just seven and a half hours before mh-17 was shot down. this photo released by ukrainian officials appears to show the moment the buk missile was fired. 12 hours after the shootdown, ukrainian officials say this sa-11 buk missile launcher was seen heading into russia. at least one missile missing from the launcher.

this investigation is far from over, but already the russians are denying it, saying the ukrainians brought down the plane, george. >> still sticking by that story. all right, martha, thanks very much. and let's bring in steven ganyard. start with the black boxes. the rebels controlled them for several days, now some evidence the russians wanted them. are they of use anymore? >> probably not of much use. because we know that the airplane was brought down by an sa-11 missile. we go back to the last time the russians brought down a commercial airliner, they held on to the black boxes, the bodies, they manipulated the tapes. >> overnight, russian president vladimir putin called for an independent investigation, but the crash scene has been so compromised, anything useful there? >> maybe a little bit.

we'll need to get metal forensics experts to see if there's explosive residue on the skin. and the shrapnel, and the warhead that brought it down has telltale clues. most of that's moving on. i think this is sort of like you come across a crime scene, and the police would drive up, and the key suspect is at the crime scene saying, wait, let me collect the evidence. and i'll give you what evidence i want. >> so much evidence this came from the russian missile on ukrainian military. the only open question left is who actually fired the missile. >> you're right. there's a forensics intelligence. you saw the release from our embassy in kiev, that was really just an intelligence assessment. we're going to lay out the case based on intelligence about who did it, points to the russians. >> thanks. and now the massive and deadly wildfire raging in washington state, exploding in

size over the weekend. this new drone footage shows the devastation, entire towns destroyed, hundreds of homes scorched. abc's brandi hitt is on the front lines in washington. good morning, brandi. >> reporter: good morning. this is the devastation. all that's left here are concrete walls. this has been one intense fire fight. calmer winds this morning are finally giving firefighters the break they have been waiting for. surrounded by heavy smoke, this morning the national guard is running a race against time, hoping to douse these fast-moving flames spreading across washington state. >> between with mother nature, and everything going on, it's very challenging. >> reporter: and it captures entire neighborhoods, now reduced to ash. the blaze destroying homes. >> it sounded like a roaring train, and it was coming in funnels, like a storm. >> reporter: mountainsides turned to barren wastelands. what began last monday as four

separate fires sparked by lightning, is now one massive inferno, torching 230,000 acres, and burning up to 200 homes. including this dream house that he purchased just three weeks ago. >> 90% of everything moved in, and lost it. >> reporter: and even claiming the life of one 67-year-old man, who died trying to protect his home. >> during the fire, he had a heart attack and died. >> reporter: crews are creating critical fire perimeters to stop the now more than 370 square miles of flames. >> this is a firestorm beyond human imagination, and we need more assets. >> reporter: now even though weather conditions have improved, hundreds of homes are evacuated this morning, families in this community are relying heavily on each other for support. robin?

>> they're definitely in our thoughts. thank you. and now the other top stories. good morning, everyone. we begin with breaking news, a train collision and derailment, leading to a massive evacuation. these new pictures from wisconsin. one train colliding with another, injuring two crew members, and spilling 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel. the cause of the accident is under investigation. also breaking right now, another fire being fought overnight. this one near the famed red rocks of sedona, arizona. it was touched off when a small plane crashed into a cliff, killing four people. that fire spread. crews are struggling to get it under control this morning. and it's already a deadly day in the middle east, as the israeli ground offensive digs into gaza, hundreds of palestinian civilians are dead, and dozens of israeli troops. and yet another cease-fire agreement is in the works. abc's alexander marquardt is in the gaza strip.

good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, this is the most intense fighting we have seen since this conflict started two weeks ago. and as israeli forces advance deeper into gaza, they're taking their worst losses in eight years. at least 18 soldiers confirmed killed, among them, two israeli-americans confirmed killed. yesterday was deadly, 70 palestinians killed in one eastern gaza neighborhood, after relentless shelling by israeli forces. and as the death toll grows, so does international pressure to broker a cease-fire. secretary of state john kerry arriving in cairo today to help strike a deal. amy? >> alex marquardt, thank you. and the newest sinkhole in florida, will be filled with cement. four homes near tampa were evacuated, it grew to 100 feet across and 30 feet deep. well, if you fly, get ready to pay more in tsa fees.

starting today, the security agency is tacking on $5.60 for every plane ticket, that's up from $2.50 for a nonstop flight and $5 for a connecting flight. well, hollywood and generations of fans are mourning the loss of actor james garner. everybody has a favorite character, "maverick," "the rockford files," or from the movie "the notebook," all of them charming, witty, lovable, just like the man himself. james garner was 86. and finally, it was quite a party for one happy, talented, and lucky family last night. that family, the mcilroys, as in golfer rory mcilroy, who won the british open. his father, jerry, also had a reason to party. you see, ten years ago, he placed a bet that his son would win the british open by age 26. and guess what, he did it with a year to spare, at age 25. and that bet earned dad $171,000.

that's a big party they need to have. >> i hear a couple of family friends also got in on it. >> yes, a lot of happy people. >> bet on yourself, bet on your son. >> thank you. now to new fallout in the explosive case rocking the new york city police department. there's growing outrage about a suspect who died in custody after the arresting officer put his arm, as you can see, around his neck. a preliminary autopsy report could be out later today, and abc's ron claiborne is here, staying on top of this. good morning. >> good morning, robin. now, there are two investigations into the incident that was captured on several videos. police internal affairs and prosecutors both looking into what happened. before those are complete, one police officer has had his badge and shield taken, and now four paramedics have also been put on modified duty. the story just keeps heating up. this is the video that nypd and

prosecutors are pouring over, trying to determine whether police used excessive force to arrest 43-year-old eric garner for allegedly selling illegal cigarettes. watch as one officer appears to have his arm wrapped around garner's neck, and once he's on the ground, more officers then piling on, his face pressed to the pavement. finally, officers subdue a struggling garner. garner, a father of six, died about an hour later at a hospital according to police. >> they just snatched my heart right out of my chest. i have to stay strong for my kids. >> reporter: as investigators look into whether force contributed to his death, the racially-charged incident sparking protests over the weekend. >> an unarmed man was subjected to a chokehold, and the result is he is no longer with us.

>> reporter: words of anger, scenes of anguish. the nypd placing officer daniel pantaleo, an eight-year veteran, on modified desk duty, his badge and gun taken away. and now, four ems workers who responded to the scene after garner collapsed are also on modified duty. investigators tell us they will be focusing on whether garner was placed in a chokehold, banned by new york city guidelines. >> it's meant to suffocated the air out of an individual. this hold was more on the lines of a submission/restraint. >> reporter: and the police union is saying that the videos don't show the whole story. that police sometimes have to use force to arrest someone. necessary force can be misinterpreted as excessive. the key here could be what the

autopsy shows and whether the use of force played a role in his death, the results expected as soon as later today. >> but the videos are extremely helpful to determine what happened. as you said, the new york police department, they are not allowed to use that type of hold. but they're saying it was not technically that type of hold? >> well, the police union say it was a restraining maneuver, as opposed to a chokehold. the autopsy here will be very important. if that led to his death. >> you could hear him say i can't breathe. >> he said it four or five times. clearly. >> thanks. lara, you have an incredible survival story. >> imagine being trapped in your overturned car, alone for ten hours with a badly bleeding leg and a pack of wolves circling. that's what one young woman faced and managed to survive. she came to the mountains to take beautiful photos.

but after swerving to avoid a deer, 23-year-old noelle shannon lay helplessly in her overturned car. her leg stuck under the door, encased in rocks and no help in sight. >> i seriously thought about amputating my leg. >> reporter: pleading profusely, cutting off her own leg seemed the only option. >> it's still shocking for me. >> reporter: her keys weren't sharp enough to do the gruesome job. after ten hours, she had almost given up, but then she heard wolves circling, and one last shot of adrenaline set in, she used all her might to smash the windshield with her good leg and crawl out of the wreckage. using a sweatshirt, making a tourniquet to partially stop the bleeding, she climbed out on to the road. >> i see a toyota coming up the road, they were angels. >> reporter: they found her near

death and rushed her to the hospital, where they had to amputate her leg. >> nobody wants to lose a leg. i mean, it sucks, but it could have been a lot worse. >> reporter: despite the hardship, though, she's learned every day is a gift. >> don't take life for granted. you never know when your last day will be. >> and she certainly did not. what a fighter. she'll be out of the hospital in the next few days and back home where doctors say it will be six months to recuperate, but she's going to be okay. >> incredible story. >> that's something. ginger, you have some real excessive heat. >> yes. the air you can wear. sits on you, sticky and nasty. minneapolis, actually has an excessive heat morning. and heat advisories in nine states. a lot of states in the 90s. and fueling severe weather this afternoon and evening in the red.

give an update in the investigation what what happened with the downing of flight mh 17 and the diplomacy following it. the white house has not directly pointed the finger at russia in terms of blane for that. but it's come very close saying there's a welt much evidence lewding satellite imagery, also video, of a missile launcher, leaving that area, with one of its missiles missing, and the president himself has made it clear that that is a sophisticated system that would require russian training. in other words, there is a lot of circumstantial evidence that the russians were at the very least complicit what happened. i expect the president will look to the united nations security council which is meeting later this afternoon to talk about the need to keep that crash sight secure for investigators. the administration is deeply concerned. there is tampering with the evidence. now, you see the president

making the walk from the oval office out to the south lawn. we'll be hearing from him right now. good morning, everybody. i want to make a brief statement about the tragedy in ukraine. before i do, though, i want to note that secretary kerry has departed fof the middle east. as i've said many times, israel has a right to defend itself against rocket and tunnel attacks from hamas, and as a result of its operations, israel has already done significant damage to hamas' terrorist infrastructure in gaza. i've also said, however, that we have serious concerns about the rising number of palestinian civilian deaths, and the loss of israeli lives. and that is why it now has it 0 be our focus, and the focus of the international community, to bring about a cease-fire that ends the fighting, and that can stop the deaths of innocent civilians, both in gaza, and in

israel. so, secretary kerry will meet with allies and partners. i have instructed him to push for an immediate cessation of hostili hostilities, based on a return to the november 2012 cease-fire agreement between israel and hamas in gaza. the work will not be easy. obviously, there are enormous passions involved in this, and some very difficult strategic issues involved. nevertheless, i've asked john to do everything he can to help facilitate a cessation of hostilities. we don't want to see any more civilians getting killed. with respect to ukraine. it's now been four days since malaysian airlines flight 17 was shot down over territory controlled by russian-backed separatists in ukraine. over the last several days, our hearts have been absolutely

broken, as we've learned more about the extraordinary and beautiful lives that were lost. men, women, and children, and infants, who were killed so suddenly and so senselessly. our thoughts and prayers continue to be with their families around the world who are going through just unimaginable grief. i'ved ha the opportunity to speak to a number of leaders around the world whose citizens were lost on this flight. and all of them remain in a state of shock, but frankly, also in the state of outrage. our immediate focus is on recovering those who were lost, investigating exactly ha happened, and putting forward the facts. we have to make sure that the truth is out. and that accountability exists. now, international investigators

are on the ground. they have been organized. i've sent teams. other countries have sent teams. they are prepared. they are organized to conduct what should be the kinds of protocols and scouring, and collecting of evidence, that should follow any international incident like this. and what they need right now is immediate and full access to the crash site. they need to be able to conduct a prompt and full and unimpeded, as well as transparent, investigation. and recovery personnel have to do the solemn and sacred work of recovering the remains of those who were lost. ukrainian chez porechenko has people prepared to recover the

remains from those lost. unfortunately the russian-backed celebratists who control the area continue to block the investigati investigation. they've repeatedly denied access to the wreckage. investigators approached. they fired their weapons in the air. the separatists are removing evidence from the crash site, all of which begs the question, what exactly are they trying to hide. more over, these russian-backed separatists are removing bodice from the crash site, oftentimes without the care that we would normally expect from a tragedy like this. and this is an insult to those who have lost loved ones. this is the kind of behavior that has no place in the community of nations. now, russia has extraordinary influence over these separatists. no one denies that. russia has urged them on. russia has trained them. we know that russia has armed

them with military equipment and weapons, including anti-aircraft weapons. key separatist leaders are russian citizens, so, given its direct influence over the separatists, russia, and president putin in particular, has direct responsibility to compel them to cooperate with the investigation. that is the least that they can do. president putin says that he supports a full and fair investigation. and i appreciate those words, but they have to be supported by actions. the burden now is on russia to insist that the separatists stop tampering with the evidence, grant investigators, who are already on the ground, immediate, full and unimpeded access to the crash site. the separatists, and the russian sponsors are responsible for the safety of the investigators doing their work. and along with our allies and

partner, we will be working this issue at the united states r united nations today. more broadly, as i've said throughout this crisis, and the crisis in ukraine, generally, and i've said this directly to president putin as well as publicly. my preference continues to be finding a diplomatic resolution within ukraine. i believe that can still happen. that is my preference today and will continue to be my preference, but if russia continues to violate ukraine's sovereignty and to back these separatists and these separatists become more and more dangerous, and now are risks not simply to the people inside of ukraine, but the broader international community, then russia will only further isolate itself from the international community and the costs for russia's behavior will only continue to increase. now is the time for president putin and russia to pivot away from this tragedy that they've been taking and get serious about trying to resolve

hostilities within ukraine in a way that respects ukraine cover renty, and respects the right of the ukrainian people to make their own decisions about their own lives. and time is of the essence. our friends and allies need to be able to recover those that were lost. that's the least we can do. that's the least that decency demands. families deserve to be able to lay their loved ones to rest with dignity. the world deserves to know exactly what happened and the people of ukraine deserve to determine their own future. thanks. >> president barack obama leaving the south lawn of the white house. first addressing the middle east crisis saying he's sending secretary of state john kerry to the middle east to try and broker a cease-fire, but then shifting his focus to the issue at hand, the downed malaysian airlines flight saying the focus now should be on the recovery of

those bodies and then allow unfettered access to the international investigators to that crash scene which has been forbidden so far or at least been monetaried heavily by pro-russian separatists. let's turn to abc chief foreign correspondent terry moran who has been at the crash scene for days now. talk about the latest with those body, where are they, and what is the latest? >>amy, finally there's word those bodies will be leaving the crash site, and the village nearby where they've been stored in fridge rated box cars. they'll leave at 7:00 p.m. tonight, in a while while, noon eastern time and going to a city under the control of the ukrainian government where many international investigators including malaysia's team and u.s. team are located. finally those bodies will be going to a city a couple of hours from here. there will be forensic

identification and then they will go home. so that step is being taken. we did see international investigators on the scene today, for the first time really getting more or less unfettered access to that site. taking pictures, rough surveys where that plane might have fallen apart on its way down to the ground although i did ask the lead investigator after the four days with that site, unsecured, is he confident they'll be able to happen what happened to the plane. he said simply, i don't know. >> daunting words, terry moran with the latest from ukraine. i want to turn to abc news chief foreign investigative correspondent, brian ross. people have likened this to having criminals in charge of a crime scene in terms of the investigation. tell us what we're likely to be able to find and what international investigators likely to be able to uncover if the scene has already been tampered with? >> as president obama said, his question is, what are they trying to hide? most of the key evidence about who pulled the trigger on this,

will come not so much on what is on the ground but from the radar and signals intelligence that the u.s. has been gathering and pushing out and the evidence against, russian separatists and russians themselves continues to mount, amy. >> brian ross with the very latest there and in new york. again, the president just addressing the nation, asking there to be a recovery of the bodies that are still in ukraine at this hour. he wants a full investigation of the facts, and he wants the people responsible held accountable. we're going to return to our regular programming on the television network. for some of you that is "good morning america." there will, of course, be complete coverage of this later on "world news" with diane sawyer and continue to get updates on this story on your mobile device, star it on the abc news phone app and we'll continue our coverage on abc news digital right now. i'm amy robach
