Crashing right onto main street in East Hartford, connecticut. The student pilot, reportedly a jordanian national, did not survive. And the family right there in that minivan, barely escaping with their lives. A mother and her children now recovering. Abcs linzie janis leads us off from the scene. Reporter tonight, the fbi investigating this deadly plane crash on a city street in connecticut as a criminal act. Information indicates that this plane crash was intentional. Reporter the small twinengine aircraft carrying a flying instructor and his student, smashing into utility poles in East Hartford tuesday afternoon. Narrowly missing this minivan with a mother and her three children inside, then bursting into flames. Three poles, when it hit the last one, it just boom. Reporter the instructor, 43yearold arian prevalla, making it out alive, running into a bank lobby. He had sought help in there, certainly running on adrenaline. Its my understanding he has a significant amount of burns. Reporter but prevalla telling authorities, this was no accident. Abc news learning his student, who died in the crash, was feras majdii mohammad freitekh, a 28yearold, reportedly a jordanian national, attending Flight School at a nearby hartford airport. Authorities say the two men were coming into land, each with their own of set of controls to fly the plane, but they wont say who was in control at the time of the crash. Can you confirm whether youre investigating some sort of argument midair between the student and Flight Instructor . I cant confirm those details at this time.

Reporter david, the uss mason used defensive countermeasures to protect the ship, but having three cruise missiles fired at an american warship in four days is extraordinary, and i cannot remember anything quite like it in recent memory. Officials say all of the missiles were fired from an area in yemen controlled by a group loosely affiliated with iran. You will almost certainly see the u. S. Take retaliatory action against the group. The pentagon releasing a statement a short time ago, saying, we will respond at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner. David .

Tonight, the Trump Campaign saying those accusations have no merit, adding, when you see questionable attacks like this, magically put out there in the final month of a president ial campaign, you have to ask yourself what the political motivations really are, and why the media is pushing it.

Critics were quick to pounce, pulling up photos just like this one that show the two of them together at ground zero. Now, these photos were taken the day after the attacks. On the day of the attacks, it is widely known that Hillary Clinton was in washington as a u. S. Senator at the time.
