good morning, america. breaking right now, a new case of ebola in america. a dallas hospital worker who cared for patient thomas eric duncan has tested positive for the ebola virus. if confirmed, this would be the first case transmitted in the united states. dr. besser joins us live. halloween hayride gone horribly wrong. [ sirens ] nearly two dozen hurt when their wagon overturns. riders tossed like rag dolls, helicopters airlifting the most seriously injured to the hospital. how did this happen? security breach caught on camera. a scary scene when a mysterious man makes like a ninja turtle popping up out of a subway grate and hurling a smoke bomb at a crowded restaurant. how did he gain access to the new york subway tunnel?

and behind the scenes of "the walking dead." we're with the stars of the one of the most popular shows on tv. what it takes to transform a human into a zombie and why one of them bit me. what would you treat this with? >> with a zombie bite, don't you just chop off the arm? >> yeah. we could go from here but aesthetically we should go from here. hey, good morning. we want to get straight to the breaking news this morning. what looks like a new case of ebola in america announced just moments ago. >> and the latest victim is a health care worker at that very hospital in dallas who had direct contact with thomas eric duncan before he died. if confirmed, this would be the first time ebola has been transmitted from person to person here in this country. >> so a very worrying development. we're going to talk to our dr. rich besser in just a moment,

but first for the very latest, let's bring in tom llamas. good morning to you. >> overnight a dangerous development in the fight against ebola. a health care worker at texas presbyterian hospital testing positive for the deadly virus. this is now the first person to be infected inside of the u.s. we just received a statement from the texas department of state health services. they tell us "a health care worker at texas health presbyterian hospital who provided care for the ebola patient hospitalized there has tested positive for ebola in a preliminary test." now, this worker cared for thomas eric duncan, the first ebola patient diagnosed in the u.s. we know the worker had a fever starting on friday. now, samples taken from the latest ebola victim have now been transferred to the cdc in atlanta for further confirmation. officials are now working to locate anyone who has come in contact with this patient. we're also working to find out if this hospital worker was part of that pool of 48 that came into contact with duncan and was being monitored or if this person was outside that pool which could make this even more dangerous.

dan and paula. >> thank you very much, tom. now, with insight we want to turn now to our dr. rich besser who recently returned from the ebola hot zone of liberia and is an infectious disease expert. dr. besser joining us from washington. good morning, dr. besser. this casers as we mentioned, has to be confirmed. if it is how big of a net do you cast regarding those affected and who will health officials be looking at? >> just like with mr. duncan where they looked at casual contacts and close contacts, you want anyone who's had contact with this individual while they were sick. so you cast a very wide net and then you narrow that down as you really explore what kind of contact they had. >> now, this would be the first transmitted case of ebola ever here in the u.s., so what are the next steps of containment? >> well, this is very disturbing if this turns out to be true and they're going to need to look and see what happened in the hospital to allow this to occur. if it were someone who met him when he first came in the hospital, that's one thing, but

part of the care team of the patient while in the hospital, it really throws into the question the cdc recommendations that any hospital can take care of a patient with ebola. they just need an isolation room and certain equipment. i think that it takes a lot more than that. i'm much more comfortable seeing these patients in units like the one in nebraska and emory where they train on this. it's not easy to do protective equipment properly. >> all right, if folks are waking up to this very disconcerting news this morning, dr. besser, how concerned should we be? >> you know, if you were someone who was on that health care team, you need to be monitoring your temperature. for the average american, it's not putting you directly at risk but it does say that this ebola situation is not over. this is something we're going to be dealing with for a long time until the problem is knocked out in africa and we will be seeing more of these cases here in america. >> all right, dr. besser, the sample being flown today to atlanta to cdc headquarters and we should have confirmation later this afternoon. thank you for your time. >> as the doctor said,

this is not over. dr. besser, thanks again. we turn now to another developing story this morning. tension, tear gas and arrests on the streets in the st. louis area as crowds turn out to protest the police shootings of young black men in that area including the now infamous case of the unarmed teenager, michael brown, in the city of ferguson. abc's jeff zeleny is in st. louis right now. jeff, most of the protests were peaceful but there were some pockets of trouble. >> reporter: good morning, dan. you're right, the protests were passionate but peaceful until early this morning when one small group clashed with police right here. another sign that racial tensions here are close to boiling over. overnight, protesters marched on this convenience store in st. louis. police warned these quiktrip stores could be sites of rogue protests in weekend demonstrations here. police arrived in full tactical gear. protesters linked arms to block the store's entrance. police tried to move the demonstrators away. a producer from our sister network fusion said tear gas was

launched causing more chaos. this as michael brown's mother led a prayer vigil only hours earlier before several hundred protesters marched through the streets of nearby ferguson ending at police headquarters. officers stood their ground even as they were repeatedly taunted. it's what organizers call ferguson october. thousands descending on downtown st. louis and nearby ferguson demanding accountability for what they believe is racial injustice. a weekend of peaceful protests include demonstrations like this suddenly spontaneously hundreds of people in the streets closing down traffic. while many protesters traveled here to missouri, most we talked to were like ben centuria, a st. louis native outraged by two recent shootings of young black men by white officers. how is your city right now? how is st. louis? >> ready to blow up. if you're white you get one kind of justice, if you're black you get another.

>> reporter: the shooting of michael brown sparked a national debate that played out all weekend long across the city. emotions raw, hope is fleeting. >> there's a lot of racism that's come out of this. and i thought it would be for the better but i think it's been for the worse. >> reporter: now there was no looting or violence like we saw two months ago but the arrests overnight suggest that the outrage here is far from over. one local activist told me it was from a rogue group of protesters but this is continuing here as authorities continue to investigate another police related shooting. paula. >> jeff zeleny, great reporting from st. louis this morning. and now to a story breaking overnight and something so many of us do this time of year, a haunted hayride, well, it turned into a frightful scene, a wagon overturning spilling riders to the ground. some people seriously hurt and abc's tai hernandez joining us in studio with more. good morning, tai. >> good morning. it's a fall tradition right alongside pumpkin picking and hot apple cider, but

but there was nothing comforting about this hay ride. >> have a report of a motor vehicle crash on the hayride. multiple injuries. >> reporter: overnight a haunted hayride ended in real panic. >> 20 to 30 people injured. hayride lost control went down a hill and rolled. >> reporter: officials say passengers were thrown from the out-of-control ride. rescuers rushing 24 victims to area hospitals, 2 of them airlifted with serious injuries. >> there's multiple people with broken bones, neck injuries, back injuries. >> reporter: the county sheriff's office says approximately 30 riders were on board the harvest hills gauntlet expecting a light-hearted thrill like this promotional video on the website but along the ride of bumps in the night and hand painted haunts, the vehicle missed a sharp turn on the heavily wooded trail. >> he missed a curb and went into the wood line and it looks like the trailer jackknifed and

hit a tree. >> reporter: staff members say those on board were thrown from their seats when tra trailer overturned. >> when we went down there it was just -- there were a lot of people just laying around. >> reporter: this morning hospital officials tell abc news one of those passengers remains in critical condition and many others are serious but stable. so if you've ever been on a hayride, you know part of the fun is that there are no seat belts but you can always talk to the driver if you feel they're going too fast. that could reduce your risk of flying out as these passengers did in this case. >> definitely a freak accident. thank you, tai. >> thanks, tai. now to another strange story. police releasing video, this video of a man popping out of a new york city subway grate and throwing a smoke bomb into a restaurant. this birz saar incident raising the question how safe is the city's huge subway system from terrorists? abc's mara schiavocampo has been looking into that. good morning to you. >> dan, good morning. new york city has hundreds of miles of subway tunnels. now there are new concerns about

protecting those underground passages after a man was able to get full access. it's one of several security breaches in new york in recent months. this morning, the search is under way for this man, captured on surveillance video throwing smoke bombs into a crowded new york city restaurant. watch here as a man in a baseball cap and t-shirt suddenly emerges from a subway access hatch in the sidewalk launching two smoke bombs into a cluster of diners at the restaurant's outdoor tables. take a look again. the man disappearing immediately after tossing the smoke bombs. the unsuspecting patrons panic. >> all of a sudden they told us it was a smoke bomb. >> reporter: one of them "charmed" actress rose mcgowan sent this stunned tweet. "someone just threw two red smoke bombs into the restaurant i was eating in. eyes are burning." #nycwhat. >> he obviously could have caused somebody to be injured or

even potentially killed because of a panic. >> reporter: these hatches are used as emergency exits from the new york city subway system and police are investigating how this man could have gotten access to these tunnels. the bigger security concern, how the attack could have been launched from the city's tightly guarded transit system. other breaches have citizens on high alert. just this summer the brooklyn bridge was infiltrated once by two german artists who replaced the american flag with these white flags. then in august, a man was arrested for taking photos after climbing to the top of the bridge. now, thankfully no one was hurt. no arrests have been made. police say they're looking for a white male about 20 years old. really scary that someone was able to get in and then get out in that way. >> right, just a prank although it does expose some potential weaknesses. >> a prank that nobody finds funny this morning. >> thanks, mara. overseas now to the war on isis and what could be an impending humanitarian disaster as the battle for the city of

kobani in syria rages on and u.s.-led air strikes are doing little to stop the militants from seizing that town located close to the border with turkey. alex marquardt has the latest on this fierce fighting. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, paula. that's right. this morning, all eyes on the city of kobani where dozens of u.s. air strikes have failed to stop the march of isis. american officials now warning that its fall may be imminent. and then over in iraq isis creeping closer and closer to the capital of baghdad fueling criticism of the u.s.-led air campaign. this morning the violence and bloody siege of kobani is raising questions about the effectiveness of the u.s.-led air campaign. this new isis propaganda video showing militants methodically moving in street to street, house to house, advancing in defiance of the around 50 mostly american air strikes against them here in the past week. already the black flags of isis are flying from the large parts of town they control and

american officials have warned that the fall of kobani may be inevitable. >> we're doing everything we can from the air to try to halt the momentum of isis against that town. that air power is not going to be alone enough to save that city. >> reporter: there have been more than 400 strikes in iraq and syria since the campaign began two months ago. but isis still controls almost all of the vast territory it had seized and has now taken control of most of iraq's anbar province on the doorstep to baghdad. local officials there have desperately called for american ground troops to intervene. despite the lack of clear victories, the obama administration says it is succeeding in the long-term goal of degrading isis and preventing it from establishing a safe haven. but that may not be enough for kobani where local kurdish forces are desperately begging for u.s. heavy weapons to push isis back.

the united nations has warned that if isis takes the town, that thousands could be massacred. dan. >> this is a dire situation, alex, thank you. for more on this, let's go to washington and abc's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz. martha, the u.s. has been saying that the air campaign is succeeding, but does the potential fall of this city expose the weakness of the campaign? >> reporter: i think you've seen the weakness of air campaigns throughout history and particularly now in syria and kobani and the pentagon will say quite frankly this is all we can do. you heard the spokesman there say this is what we're doing with the air strikes and that will not be enough. you've heard again and again the military say, it will not be enough throughout iraq and syria. they need those ground forces. the u.s. has said they will not be u.s. ground forces, but as you know, dan, there are advisers helping the iraqis but they are not ready to go back and reclaim any of these towns and anbar province is truly threatened this morning.

>> and that's right outside of baghdad but just very quickly just to button it up the world then will end up standing by and watching this city fall to isis? >> the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff told me he fears it will fall. he doesn't believe there are 5,000 people even left in the city, but clearly there will be some atrocities there if this falls. >> sad to hear. much more on this throughout the day here on abc news, and martha, by the way, will have much more on the fight against isis when she hosts "this week" later and talk about the new case of ebola, the first transmitted in the u.s. if confirmed. all coming up later this morning right here on abc. we've been talking about ebola all morning but ron claiborne has an update on the enterovirus, as well. >> that's right. good morning to you, paula and dan and rachel. good morning, everyone. we begin with the deadly enterovirus d68 that is sweeping across the country. it has now claimed yet another toddler's life. 21-month-old madeline reed died friday in detroit. this comes one week after 4-year-old ellie waller of new

jersey became the first official fatality directly caused by the virus. the cdc says five others who were infected with entero have died but not clear if the virus was to blame in those cases. some frightening moments aboard two us airways flights in separate incidents on the same day at the same airport. both had to make emergency landings. oxygen masks deployed in one after an air pressure problem in the cabin. the captain had to make a quick descent from 19,000 to 10,000 feet during the approach and a short time later a regional jet made a safe emergency landing also at charlotte due to a hydraulic problem. there were no injuries on either flight. and today is the day that hackers are threatening to release about 100,000 photos from the popular photo sharing app snapchat. >> uh-oh. >> the pictures that were supposed to be erased moments after they were sent were apparently stolen by the hackers.

the collection of leaked images is like last month's scandal in which a hacker posted hundreds of naked images of celebs among them jennifer lawrence. and a florida family had to be rescued off the coast of miami after their boat quickly started taking on water and flipped over in the open water, the open ocean there. a nearby boater noticed the three adults and three children waving and yelling for help. ron arveev came in close to the stranded boaters and managed to pull them one by one inside of his boat. and we're going to move to the delivery of a special delivery of a different kind. a baby delivered in the back of a new york city cab when sara steinhouse, her water broke a week early, she hopped into a cab with her brother, michael, brother-in-law michael, a fourth year medical student. with the taxi stuck in traffic and baby william couldn't wait any longer. look at these stunning images. steinhouse giving birth to a bouncing baby boy from the backseat with uncle michael playing doctor. >> i don't think i was ever thinking about whether or not i was going to make it to the hospital. >> my nephew and i share a pretty special bond now.

>> well done. but both sara and michael say a hospital probably would have been better and this warning to baby william from me, you know, one day you're a newborn, the next thing you know you're 40 years old and wondering where all the time went so appreciate it. >> oh, man. life lessons from uncle ron. >> am i right? >> you're absolutely right. you're absolutely right. >> just let me deliver in the hospital, please. and hopefully they serve wonderful cuisine like the next story. >> cab drivers in new york city don't usually have epidurals on hand. so definitely better to be in the e.r. thank you, ron. appreciate that. big news now from the culinary world as paula alluded to what may be the most expensive hamburger on earth has been discovered. >> very excited about this story and it's called the glam burger, and it's filled with so many fancy-schmancy ingredients it's going to cost you close to 2 grand, and abc's

hamish macdonald has more now from london. >> reporter: burgers will create a monster. now london chef chris large is offering what's claimed to be the world's most expensive single serving of beef on bun. there's a layer of french cheese, lobster flown in from canada and british bacon coated in canadian maple syrup. how many calories in something like this? >> 2,618 to be precise. >> right. so expensive and incredibly healthy. ♪ we'll take the french black truffle brie. we'll put that in the center. >> reporter: there's venison from new zealand and kobe beef pampered and plumped in japan. >> happy cows. >> reporter: not quite so happy i don't think. but these are the really big ticket items. iranian saffron at almost $250 an ounce. white truffle shipped in from italy at $1500 a pound. the most expensive ingredient, beluga caviar from russia, a pound of this stuff is worth more than $3,000.

all this is topped with 24 karat gold leaf. the burger truly is fit for a king. there we have the glam burger. >> reporter: it'll set you back almost $1800 in total. it is big and it is beefy. i'm kind of scared of this. is there a neat way of eating this? >> no. >> reporter: all over my face and all over my hands. it's like literally hundreds of dollars of stuff on my face. cleaned up now, guys, that was a very tough assignment. i didn't want you to miss out back in the studio so i pulled together all of the money i have left, warning, there's not a lot and i sent you some burgers, as well. enjoy your breakfast. >> happy meals. by contrast, we are suffering but i love the look on your face as you had hundreds of dollars of ingredients on there. did you finish the whole thing? >> yeah. i did. i did. i did.

i'm not going to eat for the next week but it was fantastic actually. >> worth the $2,000 price tag? >> better be. >> every penny. >> i don't know. he's eating flecks of gold. i have flecks of onions and pickles. >> all right. time to check the forecast. i don't know if ron will be able to make it through the forecast because he has his face in his happy meal. >> ron, enjoy. let's take you to seattle. a rare tornado that turned into a waterspout. a rare tornado warning. haven't seen one of these in 44 years across the puget sound area. looks like kansas, doesn't it. didn't do a whole lot of damage thankfully, but got everybody going in an uproar there. that piece of energy is going to be rolling across parts of the midwest today. and we've got a severe thunderstorm threat from dallas up through oklahoma city about 12 million people in the zone here and that will expand as we go through tomorrow. really more notable spots in through houston, new orleans and all the way up through indianapolis, so the next two days are going to be kind of tight as far as maybe some rough weather.

>> reporter: recorded during a 2012 vermont state police interrogation, prue initially takes full responsibility for kidnapping and strangling melissa jenkins to death. >> i did it myself. my wife had nothing to do with it. >> reporter: prosecutors say prue and his wife patricia lured the 33-year-old mother and science teacher from her home with a phone call pretending their car had broken down. jenkins reportedly agreed to help. >> she got out of her vehicle, and as she did, she was strangled and beaten to death. >> reporter: i'm terribly sorry, melissa. i didn't mean to do this to you. >> reporter: the first half of the seven-hour-long confession tape played in court friday. prue sounding remorseful at times. >> because of me, her baby don't have a mother no more. >> reporter: but now saying he didn't act alone. the defense claiming he falsely confessed to protect his wife saying she had a sexual motive

revved up, really revved up after another one apparently caused a crash hitting him during the cooldown lap. you see the fisticuffs there later at their trailers. and 24-year-old ronald bowe marshall is under arrest for arson accused of setting the huge bowls fire in california. that blaze destroyed 150 homes. finally it's been a rough week for owls. a rough week for owls. take a look at this. this owl got stuck in the grill of a car in plymouth, minnesota after trying unsuccessfully to extricate the owl the driver finally called the police who were able to get the bird free and then what are the odds? in marshfield, wisconsin, another owl, a different owl, we believe -- >> are you sure it's a different owl? >> it looks a little different owl. got stuck tangled in a soccer net. wildlife officials clipped the net and took the owl back to the park and set it free. so it's okay. by the way, i made some
