Tonight, about to sweep across the country. Bracing for damaging winds. Rob has the timing and the track of this all the way east. The parents horror. With spring break here, their son, a College Student, dying falling from a seventh floor hotel balcony. The major bust tonight here in the new york city area, and the shipping container that said dried fruit. What was hidden behind it. The final push against isis in syria. U. S. Backed forces, the fire fight. And tonight, our team is right there. Here at home, the deadly and fiery collision on the highway. The truck slamming into a dozen vehicles. And the jaguar attack at the zoo. The visitor report dleen leaning over the wall, trying to take a sel selfie when the jaguar lunges through the fence. Good evening, and its great to start another week with all of you ahome. And we begin tonight with the deadly plane crash. The new boeing jet that went down overseas, a boeing 737 max8. Their newest and most in demand jet ever built, crashing to earth just six minutes after takeoff. And look at this image tonight, and investigators say that relatively small crater speaks volumes about how fast that jet was coming down. The plane shattered in pieces along with fragments of what people carried with them. 157 people onboard, including eight americans. No one survived this. Tonight, the first clues now coming in, and as other countries ground this jet, will the jets be grounded here in the u. S. . Boeings new response tonight. Abcs matt gutman leads us off from ethiopia, where american investigators have just now arrived. Reporter this heap of twisted metal scraps, all that remains of oaethiopian Airlines Flight 302. As investigators race to analyze those crucial flight recorders to find out why the plane, carrying 157 souls, fell out of the sky. Excavators digging for debris in the crater. Many First Responders picking through the dirt and passengers personal effects by hand. From the ground, beyond the s g singed grass burnt. But from above, the sheer force with which the doomed plane hit the earth is clear. The victims from 37 different countries, including eight americans. The weather was clear when flight 302 took off from addis ababa at 8 38 a. M. Sunday morning. But there was trouble from take off. The pilot radioing the tower saying he was struggling controlling the plane, asking to return to the airport. Then, just six minutes into its journey to nairobi, at 8 44 a. M. , the jet disappeared from radar. Witnesses describing smoke coming from the rear of the plane before it crashed. The only we know for sure about this airplane is right after takeoff, the airplane was porpoising, going up and down, reporter this is the second catastrophic crash involving boeings popular 737 max8 aircraft. In october, a max8 operated by indonesias lion air crashed into the java sea, also minutes after takeoff. In that crash, the pilots failed to disengage the auto pilot when bad data engaged a nodsedown dive. There were no survivors. Absolutely critical that the black boxes that were recovered get read immediately so that we can figure out whether this was a problem with the airplane that affects the fleet worldwide. Reporter among the dead, melvin and bennett riffle, from reading, california, two brothers on vacation. So, lets bring in matt gutman, live in ethiopia tonight. And i know you just learned that the faa and ntsb, american investigators are in fact on the scene there . Reporter thats right, david. And were told they intend to stay through the night. Now, one of the things theyll do is examine the crash site itself. Look at possible engine problems and, of course, pilot history. But the ethiopians remain the lead investigative body right now. Whats incredible about this crash site, though, is how compact it is. It could fit in the size of a small, large hotel lobby. And thats because of that steep decent. Most of the parts of the plane, david, we main buried in the dirt. David . Matt gutman, thank you. As i mentioned at the top tonight, three countries have ordered airlines to ground those new boeing 737s. Tonight here in the u. S. , three Airlines Continue to fly them. What boeing and the faa are now saying, and the Flight Attendants Union tonight now saying their attendants do not have to fly on these jets if you dont feel safe. Abcs david kerley on that part of the story now. Reporter first indonesia, now ethiopia. The two crashes of the brand new version of the 737, so close together, that some passengers are asking airlines if theyre booked on a max8. I would be a little bit leery about flying that boeing plane. Reporter 72 of the maxes are flown by u. S. Carriers. All three airlines expressing confidence in the jet. Southwest tells us its had some calls from customers, but not a high number of cancellations. The union for american Airlines Flight attendants reminding its members that if they feel unsafe, you will not be forced to fly it. While at least 18 airlines around the world have grounded nearly a third of the fleet of delivered maxes, the faa tonight saying no action is necessary. There is no evidence to require a grounding. I think i would just trust the people that made the plane that it was going to be fine. So, tonight, theyre saying no action necessary. David kerley live at Reagan National airport. I know, david, some are wondering why perhaps the faa might not ground the planes, at least until data from the black boxes can be analyzed, but so far, no 3450move from boeing or faa. Reporter thats because they have no indication that the first crash is related to the second. There is no evidence that they can actually use to ground the aircraft and the boeing ceo says his aircraft are safe. David kerley with us tonight. David, thank you. Meantime, to breaking news from washington. What House Speaker nancy pelosi just said a short time ago about President Trump and impeachment, saying the president isnt worth it. And the other major news, the n i and whats not. Opol heres abcs chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl now. Reporter nancy pelosi has no problem being the president s chief nemesis. You should not have a trump shutdown. Youll have a what . You said trump . Oh. Reporter but today, for the first time, the speaker of the house flatly declared she is against impeaching President Trump, telling the washington post, im not for impeachment. Unless theres something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, i dont think we should go down that path because it divides the country. And hes just not worth it. This comes as the white house rolled out a new recordshattering budget proposal. Than 4. 7 trillion in federal spending next year and trillions more in debt over the next decade, something candidate trump promised he wouldnt do. National debt had doubled. Its going to more than double by the time he gets done. Look at that. Itll be at 20 trillion. Great job. Great job, obama. Reporter he also promised he would eliminate the National Debt within eight years. And as you know, the debt at the end of his first year was at 20 trillion. Last year, it went to 21 trillion, last moth, 22 trillion. So, what happened to that promise . I mean, the president has added, historically, large numbers to the National Debt instead of keeping a promise to actually pay it off. Look, again, the last Administration Nearly doubled the National Debt. When this president ran for office, he made a commitment to the American People that he would attemptokl the debt within eight years. Reporter but he added 2 trillion, more than 2 trillion to the National Debt. He came into office and had an economic recovery that was needed to put people back to work. Reporter the new budget calls for 750 billion in defense spending next year, a 5 increase. And 8. 6 billion for the wall on the mexican border, 3 billion more than the president asked for last year. There are also cuts to medicaid and Student Loans and changes to medicare. Also, a 31 cut for the Environmental Protection agency next year alone. Democrats pronounced the whole thing dead on arrival. Lets bring in john coral, live at the white house, asking about the debt at the white house there today and president s ma promising made when the president was a candidate. I want to get back to what nancy pelosi said, saying shes not for impeachment. Some of the house freshmen have been very keen at the prospect of impeachment proceedings. Shes the leader, though, so, whats her political calculation here . Reporter david, its a reflection of political reality. There are simply not the votes to impeach the president. And nancy pelosi would much rather run against a wounded and heavily investigated donald trumpromice through new stm out to sweep acssheay its going to damag rob the track. It comes after 11 tornadoes across the south. This one ripping off rooftops in spring hill, louisiana. Incredible pictures there. This new storm hits the midwest, then it heads all the way east. Lets get right to rob marciano, tracking it for us this week. Hey, rob. Reporter hey, david. Blizzard warnings already up in the plains. High Wind Warnings also posted for oklahoma city. And weve got flood watches expanded into minneapolis. The Severe Weather threat starts tomorrow. Then the low gets cranking. Thats when blizzard conditions may ensue in eastern colorado, 50 to 60mileanhour winds with the snow blowing sideways. Heavy rain over snow pack in places like minneapolis, back through des moines, thats where well see flooding. Eastern half of the country quiet, but that changes on friday. David . All right, rob. Thank you. Next tonight, to a parents horror. Its that time of year. Spring break is now here, and tonight, weve already learned of a College Student plunging from the seventh floor balcony of his hotel in cancun. What his girlfriend and what witnesses are now reporting tonight, and heres abcs erielle reshef. Reporter tonight, mexican authorities investigating after a michigan College Student plunged to his death from a seventh floor balcony at this cancun hotel. A tragic end to what was supposed to be a spring break getaway. The girlfriend of 19yearold ahmed altaii reportedly telling police he had been drinking and consuming toxic substances before his fatal fall. Krystal herndon and her husband, who were staying on the same floor, say altaii looked upset earlier that night. We opened our hotel door to see what the noise was and saw him, you know, angrily pacing toward the hallway and her trying to grab him to get him to sit down. Reporter his former classmates back in michigan now dri grieving. I really i didnt even believe it. It just hurts. Im still in shock that hes gone. Reporter mexican Authorities Say this is a private investigation and are not providing any details. We did reach out to that hotel, david, they are not commenting. Tough time of year when we start to hear those headlines. Erielle, thank you. Were going to turn now to the major bust right here in the new york city area, and to the shipping container that said dried fruit on the outside. Investigators today reveal what was hidden behind it. 77 million worth of cocaine, and where it came from. Heres abcs gio benitez. Reporter the crates were labeled dried fruit, and they seemed to fill the shipping container, but Authorities Say it was all a front. Hidden behind those crates, 3,200 pounds of cocaine, 77 million worth, making this the biggest coke bust in the new york area in a quarter century. The massive stash discovered on a ship that traveled from buena ventura, colombia, to newark, new jersey, a legal pointle of entry to the united states. Customs officials seized the illicit cargo, handing it over to the department of homeland security, keeping it off the street. And david, were told the dea is now working to identify the source of those drugs. Theyre looking at several organizations, but they do expect to make arrests. David . All right, gio, thank you. Were going to turn overseas tonight, and to the final push against isis. Their last hold on territory in syria, at least. U. S. Backed forces moving in on their last stronghold. Tonight, our team not far from the front lines. James longman, as youre about to see, using his phone tonight in very little light to report in. They, of course, do not want to draw attention, with the fighting not far behind them. As tonight, this u. S. Backed effort now ramps up and nears its finish. Reporter tonight, the final push. Artillery and gunfire light up the sky, pounding the small village of baghouz, all thats left of the socalled caliphate. Some 1,500 isis jihadis are holed up and surrounded. This is as close as anyone gets to the front line in baghouz. We cant have too much light, to avoid being targeted ourselves. You can see artillery fire coming from all sides on that tiny town. This is hoped finally the end of the socalled Islamic State in syria. Tonight, we understand there were at least four suicide bomb attempts against coalition troops. Dozens of isis fighters have be as we raced to the front line, you see the devastation everywhere. Neighborhoods abandoned. The price of liberation. A big danger here is the network of tunnels, they run for miles underneath baghouz, and that means isis fighters could literally just pop out of anywhere and launch surprise attacks. Isis occupied some of these towns less than a month ago. Their abandoned pickup trucks and broken tents, signs of their hasty retreat. Only when commanders can be sure that every single isis fighter has been cleared from that place can they announce the complete and utter victory over the socalled Islamic State in syria. The battle for territory may be coming to a close, but the war against their ideology is far from over. Reporter and James Longman reporting in not far from the front lines in syria. And james, as we know, these u. S. Backed forces involved in this final fight. You were mentioning about 1,500 isis fighters remain. You also reported there on the network of tunnels they can use to sort of escape and launch surprise attacks. So, how much longer is this actual fight expected to last . Reporter david, you can still hear the sounds of gunfire behind me as the battle rages on tonight. But there is no telling how long it will take before every single jihadi in that town is either dead or captured. David . All right, James Longman and our team in syria tonight. James, our thanks to you. And of course, stay safe to the team. And back here at home now, and to other news this monday night, the race for 2020.
