tv   Good Morning America  ABC  August 11, 2014 7:00am-9:01am EDT

7:00 am
good morning, america. and breaking overnight -- out of control, rioting and allotting outside of st. louis. the situation turning dangerous. police in riot gear sent to break up the chaos. stores ransacked and burned down. anger boiling over after an unarmed teen was shot and killed by police. growing questions about this deadly confrontation on the racetrack. bumped, getting out of the car to confront tony stewart, seconds before he was hit and killed by stewart. was it an accident or not? >> holy cow! >> look at these incredible images of a dust devil forming right in the middle of a brooklyn ball field. the wind whipping up a surprise
7:01 am
twister on a picture-perfect day. startling phenomenon. and the little leaguers! >> and throwing like a girl, the 13-year-old going into the little league world series, striking out the boys with her 70 miles per hour fast ball. shutting out the boys this morning. >> it's unbelievable. and we do say good morning, america, on this monday morning. george taking a little vay case time. great to have david muir. >> great to be here. >> girl power. ready for this? >> yes. >> this is just the 17th girl in the little league world series. >> it was incredible. i wonder what the guys were saying?
7:02 am
a little audio next time. and very busy news, the u.s. bombings in iraq appear to be paying off. militants on the run in some towns. martha is standing by. we start with the rioting in a st. louis suburb after a police officer shot and killed an unarmed teenager. steve osunsami has the latest and joins us this morning from ferguson, missouri. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, two things happened last night. one was the protest for the slain 18-year-old. the second was lawlessness that even the young man's family is distancing itself from this morning. there were teams of people hitting up sporting good stores, stealing from automotive stores, and burning gas stations like this one to the ground. overnight, on fire and out of control. >> a free for all here. >> reporter: north of st. louis, thieves ruled the night,
7:03 am
ransacking local business. police armed with riot gear couldn't keep up. watch as people of all ages loot this convenience store and burn it down. it was an entirely different scene from the emotional protest for the slain young man. the night began with a peaceful vigil. he was supposed to start classes this morning at college. >> they took my son from him. he didn't do anything. >> reporter: but instead his mother is planning his funeral. >> everything i put into him, they just took that. with no compassion. >> reporter: it's not clear what led to the police shooting saturday afternoon. brown was walking with a friend to his grandmothers in this predominantly african-american suburb when a police officer drove by and told them to get off the street. >> he was running, he stopped, put his hands up after he had
7:04 am
gotten shot repeatedly. >> reporter: but police are telling a different story, saying one fought with the police officer after he stepped out of the vehicle. he was pushed back into the squad car and physically assaulted. >> it is our understanding that within the police car there was a struggle over the weapon. there was one shot fired within the car. >> reporter: brown was killed in the street 35 feet from the officer's car. brown was hit more than once. police confirmed the teen was unarmed. the officer involved in this shooting has been placed on administrative leave. police have arrested 32 people since this began. robin. >> steve, thank you. and now to the deadly accident on the racetrack. tony stewart being investigates after his car struck and killed another driver who walked on to
7:05 am
the racetrack to confront him. gio benitez has the latest for us in upstate new york. >> reporter: good morning. this is the small town racetrack where the crash happened. they are desperately searching for video may show exactly how this young driver died. this morning investigators are pouring over this video filmed by a spectator and posted on youtube. showing kevin ward jr. trying to confront tony stewart before being struck and killed by the nascar super star. his number 14 car bumped ward's number 13, sending the car into the wall. 20-year-old ward rushes on to the track as several cars speed by, pointing his finger, apparently at stewart. then just a fraction of a second later, ward is hit bit right side of stewart's car. ward was pronounced dead at the
7:06 am
hospital. stewart saying over the weekend, there aren't words to describe the sadness i feel about the sthaent that took the life of kevin ward jr. it's an emotional time for all involved. stewart pulled out of the sprint cup race at watkins glen. others paying their respects as well. >> my thoughts and prayers going out to the family. i know what they are dealing with. hurts for them. >> reporter: it happened on the same track where stewart rt was involved in an accident that hurt another driver. he has a reputation as a great driver with a bad temper. from throwing gear to butting heads with a driver last year. >> if he ever turns down a cross, he won't make it through the end. >> reporter: this morning, ward's family is lashing out.
7:07 am
stewart, nickname smoke, has left the family with a deep hurt that should not be there. and ward's mother telling abc overnight the family appreciates the support. there are no criminal charges against stewart, but they have not been ruled out. >> talk about that, thank you. >> take a closer look with ryan smith here in the studio. and espn nascar reporter mike. you heard about the reputation of having a bad temper. what can you tell us about stewart? >> it's really a complicated question to answer because, you know, certainly tony stewart's on track persona is one of a tough guy. to a large degree, that's the image. that's the brand of tony stewart and helps him sell merchandise. and a lot of fans appreciate that and embrace it. but to me, that's only his image on the racetrack. i've had encounters with him
7:08 am
many times off the racetrack, he's much more docile. you don't see the temper you see on tv. it's complicated. a lot of folks look at the reputation and quick to judge what happened on saturday night. i think that's the wrong thing to do. i think you need to differentiate between what's politically incorrect, which tony stewart can be at times, and having a tendency to be violent which i don't think he is. >> this isn't the first time that we have seen a driver get out of the car after an altercation on the track. >> you know, i hate seeing a driver unbuckle at any time while there are cars at speed on the racetrack. now, granted, it was under caution. but still you hate to see a driver actually unbuckle. i covered an incident years ago in another series, where a driver unbuckled in practice, and there was a fatality in that
7:09 am
incident as well. as a result of that, i hate to see a driver unbuckle prematurely. this was the case. there's an unwritten code that you shouldn't unbuckle before you're told to. >> and looking at the investigators, what exactly are they going to be looking at? >> they're going to reconstruct the scene and find out what happened. first, the video tape. look at it over and over again to see maybe if there's an indication of tony stewart seeing him or not and what other drivers saw. his statement. they talked to him once, again, and the key will be will it match up with the investigation. >> possible criminal charges. what could they be? >> second degree murder if there was depraved indifference to human life. and criminally negative homicide. they are looking at it like with no criminal charges. >> appreciate it. and the crisis in iraq, u.s. fighter jets and drones
7:10 am
launching air strikes against militant extremists over the weekend. driving key targets back from towns. and martha raddatz has the latest. good morning. >> good morning. lots of significant movement overnight, some u.s. personnel moved out of northern iraq. but at the same time word that kurdish forces have taken back two key towns from those islamic militants. those u.s. air strikes from fighter jets launched off the the uss bush to arm drones launching hellfire missiles appear to be paying off. terrorist artillery, trucks and convoys all targeted and dest y destroyed. >> it appears to have given pause to the islamic extremists as they seek to advance. >> reporter: and reports this morning that the u.s. is now shipping military arms directly to kurdish forces to help fight off those extremists.
7:11 am
but the u.s. is taking no chances with american personnel. announcing last night that some diplomatic personnel at the u.s. consulate in erbil have been moved out to the safety of jordan or basra in the south. government officials saying the move is temporary and will not effect operations in erbil. and on that mountain top where tens of thousands remain stranded, the u.s. aid continues to come. with mass i have air drops and the news that some of those who have been trapped have managed to escape. but that humanitarian crisis is far from over. in the coming days, fighting around erbil will likely intensify as isis terrorists try to regroup. and iraq's prime minister now defiantly demanding another term in office which does not please american officials. david. >> all right, martha raddatz in washington. thank you. and over to amy robach with
7:12 am
the other news. and the horrific weather headline from the south. >> good morning to you both. begin with the search for the man swept away by a flash flood in south carolina. his companion was found dead two miles from the stalled vehicle, they were pushed into a storm drain. up to 6 inches of rain there. and this car in alabama submerged in flood water and this heavy roof thrown on to cars. ginger's forecast in a moment. the coast guard rescuing three people north of hawaii stranded on a sail boat on heavy seas. they tried dropping a life raft but were unsuccessful. a boat is missing off southern california near catalina island. the radio equipment not working. and a cease-fire between

israel and hamas appears to be holding. fighting continues sunday ahead of the deal. talks are resuming in egypt. a month of war has killed 1900 palestinians and 67 israelis. well, this morning jetblue confirming it was a bird strike that sparked an engine fire, forcing a flight to abort takeoff saturday. one passenger describing screaming and shoving as people rushed to the emergency exits and down the slides. and in utah, a family of three would have been killed after this small plane crash if not for three men who risked their lives to pull them from the wreckage. just moments later, the plane's fuel tank exploded. and another dramatic rescue near albany, new york. strangers pulling a driver from his burning car just before it exploded after a crash. and recoveory mcilroy is th number one golf player in the world. he used clutch shots, like this
7:14 am
one, to come from three shots down and win the pga championship sunday. this is his second consecutive major title. and finally, we have to admire the grit and determination shown by this young man in the yellow hot dog costume. he was racing in kansas city -- >> oh! >> when he lost his pants. and he fell flat on his bun. >> oh, his pants. >> he got up, and then -- so he's pulling the pants up, and takes off again, and then he goes down again. it's -- >> oh! >> there was a lot of cushion there. he ended up with a big round of applause. i mean, i know it's wrong to laugh when someone falls, especially a child. he wasn't injured. and, you know -- >> so it's okay to laugh pretty hard? >> and you wore yellow in solidarity this morning. >> i did. >> i know how you feel about roller coasters.
7:15 am
look at this. now to a trip that did not have a fun ending for two dozen people. trapped on a roller coaster 75 feet aboveground for five hours in the hot summer sun before fire fighters came to the rescue. abc bazzy ki thatny has the story. >> reporter: for 14 adventure-seeking adults and some children, the thrill is too real. tilted sideways, stuck at least 75 feet in the air on this six flags roller coaster outside washington, d.c. >> i was afraid it was going to fall and we were going to die. >> reporter: the more than two dozen passengers trapped for five hours in the august heat. >> we were side waiwasideways. >> reporter: attaching straps to the passengers, walking them one at the same time, carefully loading them into a ladder bucket for the ride back down to sweet earth. the ride on the jokers jinx
7:16 am
should have happened like this, twists and turns up to 60 miles an hour. instead, an abrupt stop. the cause still unknown. but not the first. these unexpected stoppages have happened twice before at six flags parks this summer. last month, 22 people left dangling for three hours outside of los angeles. and just last week in new jersey, one rider filming his long trek back to solid ground after the ride stopped, walking down the steep stairs next to the track. a scene some are saying is too familiar. abc news, washington. >> thank you. turn now to the 13-year-old girl making headline this is morning for leading the team full of boys to the little league world series. pitching a complete game shutout. sara. >> this is so cool. she took over twitter last night, redefining throwing like
