Good evening and it is great to be with you on this labor day. It is an honor to begin this journey with you.

All of them survived, and abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz leading us off tonight. Martha, good evening. Reporter good evening, david. Its amazing that everyone got out alive in a crash like this involving one of these big topheavy helicopters that have a tendency to flip over and sink fast if they hit the water. It was a super stallion helicopter just like this one seen here approaching this same ship, the u. S. S. Mesa verde last month. You can see the landing spot on the deck clearly marked, but landing these big helicopters in the wind and the waves on moving ships is challenging. Todays accident happened on approach. An official says it hit the ship just before it was about to land and then crashed into the sea. This was a shock, bang, bang in the water. Reporter the ship immediately launched a small boat to help rescue the 25 on board, all trained for exactly this kind of accident. They learn to overcome that initial fear and understand that selfcontrol is whats going to be the key to survival. Reporter only one of those aboard sustained significant injury but not bad enough to require evacuation from the ship. These super stallions are one of many types of helicopters at sea, as we saw during a trip to the gulf of oman. Vital to missions around the world, especially the volatile mid east. Martha is back with us live from washington. Any early word on a cause here . Reporter theyre not sure what caused the crash, whether it was mechanical or a crew error. It certainly wasnt hostile action. Tonight everyone is just happy that everyone is safe, david. Including us, Martha Raddatz starting us off tonight. Thank you.

Student visa to go to school and then disappear. As of today, u. S. Authorities are investigating the whereabouts of more than 6,000 foreign nationals who arrived in the u. S. On student visas and have vanished, their intentions unknown. They just disappear.

S. Visas for the price of tuition. Can you please leave the premise. Reporter none of the administrators would come out when we showed up and have pled not guilty to visa fraud charges. Incredibly, despite the indictment, the operation remains on the Homeland Security list of schools certified for foreign student visas. Here it is right here. Right. How can they still be on that list of certified schools . Brian, i can only say this is the United States of america and everyone has due process.
