Tethers are used to allow photographers, or in this case, a coast guardsman, to move around a chopper in flight. But the illfated flight may have suffered another disaster. It was equipped with floats used for Emergency Water landings. But as the new york chopper nears the water, the pilot says the right float fails to inflate properly.

Among them, a journalist, a firefighter, an argentinian
tourist and two tour company employees. None of them able to free themselves from the harness system under water. Passengers on a similar flight complained about those harnesses.

Heres abcs chief White House CorrespondentJonathan Karl. Reporter less than two weeks ago, President Trump boldly
declared hes not afraid to take on the nra. Some of you people are petrified of the nra. You cant be petrified. Reporter but now, the president seems to have caved entirely to the gun lobby on school safety. The most glaring example, raising the minimum age to buy an assault weapon. Were going to work on getting the age up to 21 instead of 18. It doesnt make sense that i have to wait until im 21 to get a handgun, but i can get this weapon at 18. Didnt know. Reporter parkland survivor sam zeif pleaded directly to the president for the age increase. I turned 18 the day after. Woke up to the news that my best friend was gone. And i dont understand why i can still go in a store and buy a weapon of war. Reporter a week later, nra officials came to the without, and the president tweeted, good great meeting in the oval office. But now, the just released white house plan on school safety
calls only to study the issue of age reinstructions. In the immediate aftermath of the parkland shooting, the president said he supported several other initiatived opposed by the nra. He talked about universal background checks, taking guns away from those identified as a threat, even without due process. What happened to all those proposals . Right now, the president s primary focus is on pushing through things that we know have broad bipartisan support or things we can do from an administrative perspective that we can do immediately. Reporter is there anything in here that the nra opposes . Look, the president still has in this plan the age limit increase, and that is part of reporter not as federal policy, right . One of those things will be reviewed on what the best path forward is on that front. So, lets get to Jonathan Karl live at the white house tonight. And some of the lawmakers in that meeting that day with the president are now responding to this. Reporter dianne feinstein, who sat right next to the president and seemed pleased with what he said back then
looks at this new proposal and calls it a shame fful. Adding, shame on you, mr. President. And i mentioned a moment ago, late word coming in from the house intelligence committee, that they are moving up to wrap up their russia investigation . Republicans on the committee saying they have found no evidence of collusion . Reporter these are the republicans that control that meeting. The finding is hardly surprising. And given how partisan that committee is, its not going to have any impact on the overall debate over russia and it certainly wont stop the investigations that continue, david, in the senate and, of course, robert mueller. Jon karl starting another week at the white house. Jon, thank you. Meantime tonight, President Trump is fashion an ultimatum from that adult film star and the deadline is noon tomorrow.

This latest move, another attempt by daniels to prove the president , who has denied the affair, is trying to shut her up. Daniels lawyer has already argued the agreement signed 11 days before the election is null and void, because thencandidate trump didnt sign it. Why is that so important . Is she trying to sell her story . Shes not trying to sell her story. Its important to her because the amount of misinformation that has been put out in the press and the media, especially over the last six weeks. And mr. Cohen and others associated with mr. Cohen are directly responsible for that misinformation. And she wants to set the record straight. This is about the truth. Its about a search for the truth.
