And his family are recovering after they managed to escape the fiery wreckage. Nbcs gabe gioux tear etz is in tennessee where it happened. Good morning. Reporter savannah, good morning. It is rare to see this kind of wreckage up close and this plain rolled off the runway shortly after landing and burst into flames. The National Transportation safety board will now investigate the crash. Incredibly, no one was seriously injured. The smoke and flames from the wreckage could be seen for miles, but this morning nascar legend Dale Earnhardt jr. Is out of the hospital after his private plain rolled one rolled runway. The dude pulled a baby out of there. It is a private jet. Reporter capturing the plane fully engulfed on the edge of the highway. You could hear the commotion.

Extremely blessed and fortunate. Reporter remarkably, all escaped with minor cuts. It looks like they were able to get out quickly and under their own power. Reporter earnhardt retired from racing in 2017, a year after a concussion sidelined him. Nonracing fans know who Dale Earnhardt jr.

Craig and savannah. A lot of people will be happy to see him, gabe. Thank you very much. Our wishes with the family as well. Now to the uproar over the controversial move by israel, barring two democratic congresswoman from visiting the country. It came after a public push by President Trump, but this morning israel is signaling at least a partial chanf heart. Nbc White House Correspondent Kristen Welker joins us with the latest on this. Good morning. Reporter hi, craig. Good morning to you. It is extremely rare if not unprecedented for an american president to side with a Foreign Government in an effort to punish political opponents here at home, but thats exactly what it appears President Trump seems to be doing, using israel to sew divisions in the Democratic Party and to rally his base. This morning there is a new twist. This morning israel reversing course, saying congresswoman Rasheed Talib can enter the country on humanitarian grounds so she can visit family in the west Bank Including her ck under these oppressive conditions, tweeting, silencing me and treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It comes after israel said it was denying talib and fellow congresswoman ilhan omar entry under israeli law because they support a controversial boycott of israel. Omar has also faced criticism, including from some democrats, about comments seen as antisemitic, comments she later walked back. Omar in particular a focus of President Trumps rally overnight in new hampshire. Maybe we can get representative omar from minnesota to open up, but i dont think so. Reporter mr. Trump insisting israel made the right decision. Well, i am only involved from the standpoint of they are very antijewish and theyre very antiisrael. Reporter just last month the israeli ambassador said the two muslim women could visit, but on thursday an aboutface after unusual pressure from the president , who tweeted, allowing the visit by omar and talib would show great weakness. They hate israel and all jewish people, something neither woman has said. Earlier in the day the president insisting he had nothing to do with israels decision. No, i dont encourage or discourage. The things that theyve said, omar, talib, what theyve said is disgraceful. So i cant imagine why israel would let them in. Reporter omar calling the move to deny entry to representatives of the u. S. Government an affront. Republican marco rubio tweeting, denying them entry into israel is a mistake. The president has frequently targeted the two freshmen congresswomen, along with two of their colleagues, including a string of tweets telling all of them to go back where they came from. And not discouraging supporters at a rally after they chanted this about omar, who was born in somalia but is an american citizen. No response yet from the white house to israels latest move. Now, House Speaker nancy pelosi called israels initial decision deeply disappointing and said the president s comments about the lawmakers are beneath the office of the presidency. Craig and savannah. Kristen, the president apparently got quite the reaction overnight when he made comments about guns and mental health. What did he say . Reporter well, craig, thats right. Look, this caught everyones attention because President Trump has recently been so focused on expanding background checks, expressing a willingness to support that potentially. Overnight in new hampshire, he seemed to put the focus on mental health. Take a listen. There is a Mental Illness problem that has to be dealt with. It is not the gun that pulls the trigger, it is the Person Holding the gun. Reporter now, i just spoke with an Administration Official who told me that despite those comments, the president is still open to legislation that would expand background checks and pointed to discussions that have been taking place throughout the week between the white house and capitol hill about what might actually pass through congress when Congress Returns in the fall. But important to point out there is still a lot of scepticism about anything passing, especially given that lawmakers are so deeply divided. Are so deeply divided. Craig and savannah. Kristen welker for us there in new jersey. Thank you. Now to the scandal surrounding accused sex trafficker jeffrey epstein, his apparent suicide this morning one of the questions may have been answered nbcs Stephanie Gosk is on the story. Good morning, guys. A lot of people have been wondering where is epsteins close friend and former confidante Ghislaine Maxwell it turns out she may not be on the run or hiding out overseas dressed casually and seemingly unfazed by someone taking her picture. This photo on the cover of todays New York Post shows Jeffrey Epsteins longtime friend, Ghislaine Maxwell, reportedly grabbing lunch at innout in l. A. According to the tabloid the photo was taken monday, but nbc news has not been able to verify when it was taken or why a manager at the burger joint telling us they dont remember maxwell eating there and declining to share Security Camera footage the photo was allegedly taken the same day attorney general william barr issued a stark warning to epsteins associates following the financeers death in federal custody. Let me assure you this case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with epstein. Reporter maxwell has been accused in multiple lawsuits of recruiting teenage girls for epstein. One of the main architects of what prosecutors call a sex trafficking ring, something the british socialite has publicly denied for years. I made a statement. Thank you. Reporter just this week jennifer aroaz, who says she was raped by epstein as a 15year old, named maxwell as a defendant in a new lawsuit based on recently released documents in a 2015 Defamation Case against maxwell, epstein accuser says maxwell and epstein coerced her into having sex with powerful men. It started with one and then trickled into two and so on and so forth you know, before you know it im being lent out to politicians and academics and to people that royalty. In that same suit her attorneys say maxwell recruited joanna showberg under the guice of an assistant position but asked her to perform massages. The cases was settled out of court and mass well mass not been criminally charged. The photo of a casual lunch a stark contrast to the shots of her highsociety life. Now with a cloud of suspicion over her head, life has taken a very different turn. So it appears to be her we see she is in los angeles, at least earlier this week. What about the investigation into the suicide well, Pete Williams apparent suicide. Pete williams, our colleague, has reporting on that. He says a person familiar with the investigation says that the fbi and the Inspector General have not actually been allowed to speak to all of the people that they want to speak to about this, that the union has told them that theyll speak when theyre ready. That obviously is slowing things down as far as the investigation is concerned, and we still havent heard an official cause of death from the medical examiner. The union for those that work in the prison . The union for those who work in the prison. Got it. Thank you. Also this morning, police in philadelphia are revealing new details about the hourslong hostage standoff with a gunman that left six officers hurt, and prosecutors are vowing to put the suspect in prison for the rest of his life nbcs ron allen is in philadelphia for us once again ron, good morning. Reporter good morning, craig. We are getting our first closeup look at the scene of the massive fire fight it is right over there the suspect was in that white house. You can see theres damage everywhere there are bullet holes all over the building, windows blown out throughout the neighborhood. Police say the gunhad at least one assault rifle, that he fired off more than 100 rounds, that even when he surrendered he still had a handgun in his pocket they say it was a miracle no one was killed or seriously wounded. When it was over no one was more relieved than mom naomi, her 2year old daughter safe in her arms. When i grabbed her and i just hugged her and she was grabbing me so tight and i knew she was scared. Reporter maya was one of 80 kids at the precious Babies Learning Center just across the treat from where the accused gunman, maurice hill, engaged police in a fire fight that dragged well into the night. These pictures of officers rescuing the children being praised as an example of the heroic work by the Philadelphia Police the citys mayor moved by the scene. The officers are carrying them, holding their hands, i get kids should not have to go through that. Reporter the mayor, flanked by an array of state and local leaders, now leading the call for tougher gun laws. Our officers need help. They need help keeping these weapons out of the hands of the bad guys reporter as new images appear of the confrontation, many showing officers running toward the danger. Six officers were shot and two more trapped in the same building as the gunman with three civilians held hostage when police tried to execute a search warrant at the home suspected of being a stash for drugs and weapons. The violent encounter captured by a home Security Camera from across the streemt later, fellow officers seen standing in salute as wounded officers left the hospital the gunman surrendered after seven hours. Another five people were shot and wounded thursday by an unidentified gunman just a few miles away police are still gathering evidence here at this scene before they formally charge the suspect, maurice hill. They say that he will face charges that include attempted murder, aggravated assault, firearms possessions, and they hope to put him away for the rest of his life craig, savannah.

Now to a wild story of survival a couple from new jersey and their two children attacked by a wolf in the canadian wilderness, and if not for a stranger who heard the chaos their story could have ended far differently. Nbc National Correspondent Miguel Almaguer has the details on this one. Good morning. Reporter good morning. It was a terrifying ordeal from the young American Family. They were vacationing in canadas Oldest National park when suddenly they werent alone in their tent. At the National Park where the canadian Rocky Mountains soar over icy lake water, the rispolli family was sound asleep in their tent when a 78pound wolf like this one decided to attack the camper could hear the screams for help. I assumed i would be coming upon frightened parents that misplaced their kids when i arrived the tent was collapsed and there was the back half of a wolf sticking out the front of it. Reporter on facebook, his wife, alisa, writes, it was like something out of a horror movie. Matt literally threw his body in front of me and the boys and fought the wolf as it ripped apart our ternt a apart our tent and his arms and hands. We were screaming for help as he was fighting it and trying to save us. Startled by the life and death struggle playing out before him in the dark, fee says his instincts took over when he decided to kick the wolf as hard as he could. The wolf popped out, a little curious i think. I was trying to assess how much trouble i was in i wasnt sure if it was coming at me or not but it wasnt snarling or growling at me at all. Reporter the wolf just let go of rispolli who was nearly dragged into the forest. Matt popped out right away and it was pretty good he was pretty amped up, so he was able to grab like a broken tent pole. I was able to pick up a rock. Reporter the struggle lasted minutes. The men finally able to scare the animal away. Treated for his injuries, rispolli was released from a local hospital later that night rangers came across the wolf and killed it in a park filled with wild animals, attacks like these are rare. And so are stories of survival so, miguel, like you said there, this kind of attack is rare any reason, any possible reason the wolf might have attacked this family . Reporter rangers say they have some clues. The wolf was older, underweight and in poor health all reasons are possible for attack the attacks are rare it was checked for rabies and it came back clear. Matt is now back home in new mexic mexico new jersey expected to make a full recovery. Lets get another check of the weather. We can talk about how hot we are. Yes, and it is not Getting Better this was the hottest july ever for the planet, previously breaking the record of july 2016. The last top five hottest julys all in the last five years and then as we go and dig a little deeper, that european heat wave that happened, five countries hit alltime National Heat Records London and paris, alltime records, period. Then we make our way to alaska they had their hottest month ever, not just july, but the hottest month ever and theres record warm ocean waters surrounding alaska leading to a lot of melt and wildfires. Alaska, 2. 5 million acres burned siberia, 7 million more than 100 million tons of co2 emitted by all of this then as we go to greenland, where you heard they might be up for sale, a record low Arctic Sea Ice and the Greenland Ice sheet added 197 billion good friday morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. Were in for one more hot day as our microclimate weather alert continues and were also still going to have the unhealthy air quality in the inland east bay, where our highs reach up to 102 degrees today. In San Francisco expect highs in the upper 70s and then much cooler air in the forecast tomorrow, reaching 87 degrees in the valleys, 84 on sunday, and then warming up for the middle of next week while the 60s and the fog returns in San Francisco. By the way, guys, if that Greenland Ice sheet had melted at s by the way, guys, if that Greenland Ice sheet had all melted at some point, it would probably add about make the oceans levels rise about 23 feet worldwide.

Al, thank you harry smith is back with todays topic, the 50th anniversary of woodstock. Harry, you took a trip back. I love saying a trip when we are talking about woodstock. I see what you did. I want that trip. In so many ways. Long and strange . A trip it has been, yes thanks so much 50 years ago hard to imagine, america was a country divided. The war in vietnam raged on and on resistance to it built stronger and stronger the words generation gap were used to describe the valley of anger and distrust between the old and young. Conformity and kowtowing to the establishment were seen as selling out. In that summer of 1969 came an event that promised young people a utopian escape woodstock was billed as an aquarian exhibition. This picture from live magazine tells us a lot. Look at the size of the crowd. Im going up the country you have to know everyone who was at woodstock has a story to tell we asked ann and wade sayer to tell us theirs. We came up the back way and parked, and we never even saw the traffic, the 17 miles worth of traffic on the new york through way. No. We never saw it. Reporter a highway so crowded they closed it ann and wade found a place to camp, then headed to the concert through these woods. I always say it was a little bit like dorothy coming to oz, and im not in kansas anymore. There were the flutes going, the incense, lights sparkling. There were people sitting in the trees actually. Reporter sitting sitting in the trees, playing guitar or flutes. And humming it was like you had entered a different world. Reporter wade was just back from serving in vietnam and still on active duty he had met ann at a party in washington, d. C. Reporter what was this, date number what . Two or three. Two or three. Yeah. Reporter their first date, the night armstrong and aldrin walked on the moon. I said to my roommate, if he doesnt want to see the men landing on the moon, then hes not the right guy for me. Reporter wow. And so then he said i passed the test. He passed the test. Reporter once through the enchanted forest, wade and ann beheld the multitude oh, wade, look at it. This was and then it was just full of people. There were 400,000 people. Reporter all of those people, longing for peace and lured by the music. And it is one, two, three what are we fighting for dont ask me the next stop is vietnam i have often thought it was remarkable for us, this experience, but it had to be equally as remarkable for the entertainers reporter among them, steven stills of crosby, stills, nash and young. We got in a helicopter and we fly in, and theres this it was that big, the crowd. I said, oh, my god, normandy reporter an invasion a half million strong, equipped with marijuana and the occasional hallucinogen. People been saying some of the acid is poison it is not poison, it is just bad acid. Most of the people there were from Greenwich Village or from hippie land, and we had military haircuts and we were military. It was never a problem, and people were as kind and friendly everyone was there just to hear the music and dance and sing and jump around. Yes reporter woodstock, the brilliant documentary, captured the feel of the festival and the legendary performances they didnt have any crowd lights, and so it was blank. It was a void. And the first time i hit that getting to the points they all went off and i got the signs of how many were there. Janis, jimmy. Freedom, freedom sneets. Reporter richie. Who wasnt playing who they played tommy, the rock opera. Can you imagine, two hours . Sly and the family stone. Midnight, 1 00 in the morning, dance to the music and jumping up and down. Klieg lights going and flashing. Reporter im going to take you higher. Thats it. I loved it. Take you higher reporter woodstock was fulfilling its musical promise and it was indeed remarkably peaceful. Reporter in retrospect that this thing happened, 400,000 to 500,000 people strong, and the number of actual incidents of anything worth noting . Exactly. Zero. It was all helping each other. There werent any fights at woodstock, none. Reporter wade, deeply troubled after his tour of duty in vietnam, found a new community at woodstock. It gave youngsters a true sense of belonging and being legitimate and being against the war. It wasnt just kids with long hair it was everybody, whether they were from San Francisco or los angeles or texas or new york they all came together reporter so how do we know ann and wade were there . That picture, theyre in it. Married now 49 years, ann and wade came to woodstock for the music, found peace and fell blissfully in love must have been a pretty good weekend. With a little help from my friends half a Million People and they were not randomly chosen. No . For the record, carolyn gottlieb, our wonderful producer we respect so much, thats her aunt and uncle. How fun for her to do this story, too. Oh, my gosh it was a blast to be up there with them because it was just the memories just poured out you ready for a quick woodstock quiz of course. Whats the song we most associate with woodstock i mean as a play something, right . Crosby, stills, nash and young okay. It is a staggered start because we are on the same demonstration. For the children here, who wrote the song oh. Come on, savannah. Give us a clue. Can we get a hint al knows. I dont. The song was written by Johnnie Mitchell here is the second question. Was she at woodstock no. Ding so she was supposed to go. She was going to be on the dick cabot show on monday night the traffic is bad, the transportation isnt great shes like, do i go, do i not go she watches it on television, writes the song, and it becomes the anthem of that. Where were you, by the way, when woodstock was going down . Just graduated from high school, working on the farm. Working on the farm six days a week, and every night working out with weights, getting ready for football practice. Okay, yes. What about you, al . I was still in high school and i was a bunch of my friends were going i asked my dad and he just started laughing at me i know. I would say, isobel roker, no. That was great.

Next up we are talking about miley cyrus. The singer released a new song overnight, days after confirming her breakup from husband, liam hems worpgt. The song called slide away has many online speculating it addresses the recent split take a listen. I dont give up easily but i dont think im down id like to be ill go back to the city lights you go back to the ocean were all nodding our heads we like the song miley hasnt confirmed the song is about liam, but that wont certainly stop fans from making up their own minds next up, another story about 90210. Dylan passed the torch with the rebooted show airing, fans are wondering what went down on the set of the original show brian is now confirming some of the off screen romances, listen to this. Did you and Tori Spelling ever what . Have a romantic relationship while filming 90210. It is said that you two hooked up. No, no, wait.

Thank you, thank you. We want to turn to a hidden danger that could be lurking on your childs phone we are talking about the socalled anonymous chat apps that have become wildly popular. This is scary nbcs savannah sellers joins us. This is an eye opener for a lot of folks good morning. Good morning. Our parents always told us not to talk to strangers, but now it is a big trend among teens here is what you need to know to keep your kids safe online. They were just typing that they knew where we lived and they were going to come to our home it was just scary. He pulls his pants down and then he says, you do the same, too. People like having their private parts out. Young adults whose parents said we can talk to them, sharing some pretty disturbing stories of their interactions with strangers online. It was disturbing and shocking. They admit they used apps and websites that randomly connect users for a live text or voice or video chat. The anonymous platforms were created for spontaneous discussion, but can lead to inappropriate behavior and it is alarming Law Enforcement nationwide the most frightening thing for me as your sheriff is the access and ek poexposure childrn have every day to the apps and the individuals we continue to arrest. Reporter in bay city, michigan, a man was recently accused of soliciting sex from a minor on the website omegel. These apps are like the wild, wild west. There are no rules of the road and theyre designed to be that way. If youre concerned about grooming for sexual predators or your kids exposed to inappropriate content, i would caution your kids about going on these sites. Here is the website and it says over 19,000 people are online right now the website acknowledges there are predators on there, yet the only mention of age you must be 18 plus or 13 with parental permission but no way to prove that you can type in what you are interested in, hit talk and in a few seconds you are chatting with a stranger. Some other concerning apps you may see on your kids phone, chat live and holla, both random video chats and chitta, which advertises randomly connect with girls and boys in no time. It calls itself secretive, quick and fun. So probably when i was 12 or 13. Sixth or seventh grade and an older man is saying, what are you into yes. Reporter for parents, experts say know what apps your kids are using. You are your kids best Parental Controls for sure but it comes from dialogue and thoughtful conversation with your children. Now, we reached out to the apps in question only chitter responded saying the app is not for children under 17 and parent should teach their kids not to talk to strangers. Here is what scared me. Kids can actually hide these apps on your phone. Sure. Even if you think as a parent, im on it, you may not see it. Im going to show you that right here you see theres the calculator app and calculator plus. You click into calculator plus type in your password. What . You hit percent and you are into the app. No way. You have secret photos in here, you can go on a browser in here which means you can visit the web sites we talked about and they wont be in the browser history. It is a be rabbit hole you dont want your kids going get http it is like theres no good thing that can happen after midnight, theres nothing good that can happen on a secret app. It looks like theyre doing math homework with the calculator app, so you have to be aware.
