Towards history and tennis coveted prize, the epic showdown on centre court. Stars filling the stands as serena moves one step closer to history. We do say good morning, america. Who stayed up to watch the match last night . It went three sets and now Serena Williams just two wins away from becoming the first player since steffi graf in 1988 to win the calendar grand slam and that hug with her sister at the end. Beautiful. It was. I know, but they are truly each others number one fans. They are. That was so evident. Choked me up. Same way. Yeah. Well see a lot coming up. We will begin with that fiery seenat the airport. 170 people on board and burst into flames on the tarmac. You see the passengers streaming off the plane and abcs matt gutman on the scene in las vegas. Good morning, matt. Reporter hey good morning, george, investigators already here on the scene likely going to investigate why the fire seemed to spread from the engine to the fuselage. Now, earl quarter this morning we got up to see that plane up close. You can still see the smoke smudging the fuselage. Now, ba calling this a technical issue but the pilot credited with saving 170 lives called it something different. A catastrophic failure. Speedbird 2276 heavy, we are evacuating on the runway. We have a fire. I repeat, we are evacuating. Reporter this morning the scramble to explain why this jetliner turned foo a fireball. Mayday, mayday, speedbird, 2276 request Fire Services. Speedbird, 2276 heavy Fire Services are on the way rfrjts flight 2276 bound for london bursting into flames on the runway in las vegas. You can see them here scrambling to safety. What we had here was an un uncontained explosion of a jet engine on takeoff roll and that means it came apart catastrophically creating fire and the necessity for the flight crew to stop the airplane on the runway and get everybody off the airplane. Reporter 157 passengers and 13 crew aboard the 777 starting its takeoff with a belly fuel of fuel. More than a dozen were injured but all of them were in mortal danger. Experts tell abc news a mechanical failure could have caused the engine to come apart spitting out fire and pieces of hot metal which in turn could have sparked a separate fire in the cargo hold. Quick thinking crew helped the passengers flop down the emergency slides to the tarmac. Is everybody okay . You could see the flames and smoke and thats when it sort of scary. Reporter survival instinct kicking in with this mother. It was so instinct, literally it was fight or flight and i just jumped. I couldnt even say i felt anything. Thats how fast it happened. Reporter friar crews sprang to the scene and bystanders, even passengers on other planes watch in horror. That billowing column of black easily visible from offices a mile away. The fire paralyzing the airport. Now, the airport has reopened the runway. Can you probably hear the plane above me and ba is saying its going to try to get those passengers back home as quickly as possible and while investigators begin their work, what is clear is had that plane taken off on fire this would have been a very different story. Robin. Youre right about that. Thank you. Abc news aviation consultant colonel Stephen Ganyard joins us from washington. Give us more details on what happened here, steve. Good morning, robin. Very interesting because what happened is early in this takeoff roll as the airplane ras running down the runway only going 90 miles an hour we say it was an uncontained engine failure. What that means is the engine really just exploded and it sent hot metal into the fuselage and started a fire in the fuselage itself so the fire you see in those pictures is really the airplane itself not the engine thats on fire and after they put the fire out you could see how clearly that fire came to almost penetrating into the cabin which meant this could have been a very serious, serious accident. Oh, absolutely. As matt was saying, as well. You said they put the fire out quickly. They were on the scene like that and the crew and passengers did a great job of getting off that plane so quickly. He did. Apparently what happened is, well, they were right on the middle of the runway so the crews were right there, the rescue crews right there to put the fire out. When the cabin crew opened the door they saw the smoke on the left side of the airplane and so they got everybody out the right side, closed that door back up to keep the smoke out of the cabin. Crew did a great job in this instance but now its going to be up to the ntsb to figure out why did this engine actually blow up. We want answers to that. All right, steve, thank you so much. Such a strange one. We move to the race for president now. Your voice, your vote and Hillary Clinton finally apologizing for using that private email server. Admitting it was a mistake for the first time in an exclusive interview with abc news, cecilia vega here with that. Good morning.

That was a mistake. Im sorry about that. I take responsibility. Reporter Hillary Clinton doing exactly what she said she would not do, apologizing for that private email and server not just once but twice. In retrospect certainly as i look back at it now even though it was allowed i should have used two accounts. Everybody in the government, i communicated with, and that was a lot of people knew i was using a personal email. But im sorry that it has, you know, raised all of these questions. I do take responsibility for having made what is clearly not the best decision. Reporter clinton telling abc world news tonight anchor david muir what is the first word when you think of Hillary Clinton, words like liar, dishonest, un untrustworthy were at the top of the list. Well, david, obviously i dont like hearing that. I am confident by the end of this Campaign People will know they can trust me.

Nfl qb tom brady is calling a timeout on speculation he and his supermodel wife Giselle Bundchen are breaking up. Abcs juju chang is here. Youve got that story for us. Good morning, juju. Reporter good morning, robin. You know, theyve always been the uber glam couple but now the embattled quarterback putting up a Strong Defense against the scuttlebutt that his seemingly flawless marriage is on the skids but all is well, he says, between the supermodel and the super bowl star. New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady throwing those divorce rumors to the sidelines. Were in a great place. You know, im a lucky man, ive been very blessed. Reporter during a radio interview he told bostons weei 93. 7 fm that his storybook marriage to supermodelle Giselle Bundchen is better than ever. Theres no bigger supporters that i have than her and vice versa. Reporter just a week ago reports surfacing that the couple considered getting a divorce during bradys grueling sevenmonth struggle with the nfl deflategate. After a judge ruled in his favor, brady finally putting those breakup rumors to an end. Ive been very blessed to have an incredible relationship with you know my life partner and i dont think anything will ever get in the way of that. Hes a very private athlete and celebrity and did it during a sports interview and that just sort of helped to squash any rumors and any tabloid gossip about it because he did it simply, directly and did it not in a way that fed the gossip rumor mill. Reporter despite talk of trouble the power couple showed no signs of turmoil on social media. Gisele posting shots of the happy family vacationing for bradys 38th over the summer with the caption happy birthday my love. Were so blessed to have you in our lives. And just this week posting this, proud papa brady playing with their 2yearold daughter with the caption, and my heart melts. Biggestlove, family. It shows their relationship was this a song place and no problems in their marriage whatsoever. And referring to deflategate, brady says its been a tough challenging seven months, but the scrutiny he says both on and off the field is something he sees as part of being a public figure. But, of course, after six years of for better or for worse he still calls it an incredible relationship and says he looks forward to playing on thursday night. Oh. Keeping a level head about it. I kind of miss sacking him. You miss sacking him. Had to throw that in. I had to. We miss watch you sack him. Well, some people dont. Thank you, juju. Now to our series breakfast rescue. This morning is all about muffins and you can grab them on the go but are they a smart choice . Abcs becky worley is here with some answers. Good morning, becky. Reporter good morning, michael. Muffins, sweet, filling, homey, like a little piece of grandma sending out into the world each day but wah, wah, these muffins may be a huge contributor to that muffin top youre trying to get under control. From a staple at your morning meeting to grab and go food at the coffee shop, but youre grabbing and going but youre really not doing yourself any favors. Reporter we bought them from starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and crossco. Whats a food equivalent. Youll be so surprised. Whoa. Believe it or not reporter wait, this ee ways to that . That fact, these onion rings have less fat than this muffin. This muffin is weighing in at 32 grams of fat. But theres also sugar in here, right. Absolutely. Lets bring that cooler right on in. And the soda. Reporter compared to store bought onion rings its close. The muffin has 32 grams of fat, 40 grabs of sugar and 600 calories. Imagine an average man or woman around 2,000 calories for the day, 600 calories, boom. Right there thats a third of your food intake if youre a woman. Exactly. Reporter the starbucks muffin comes in more modestly at 380 calories with 16 grabs of fat but 30 grams of sugar. From Dunkin Donuts this is their reduced fat muffin and does have the lowest fat at 10 grams but piles on 40 grabs of sugar and 410 calories. People think theyre doing themselves a favor because theyre choosing the reduced fat option. Oh. Part of the issue is the size. 30 years ago a muffin was 1. 5 ounces. Now the starbucks muffin is 4 ounces and this one from costco, the size wasnt posted on the box so i had to call and ask. One muffin they say is 5. 75 ounces, almost four times the size of our 80s muffin but get this, they say a serving is half muffinmakes. Starbucks said were committed to offer ago a swied variety of food in the stores. The starbucks blueberry muffin is a favorite. Dunkin donuts says they offer a wide range of choices including betterforyou items from our ddsmart menu and costco declined to comment. I dont want to be the calorie cops. Boo im ruining your muffin routine. But, hey, thats the point. If you add something to a routine you have to know what youre doing. If you have seven muffins, pumpkin and coffee cake, even more calorie dense, seven a week adds 4,000 calories to your daily ee teen much thats the equivalent of tahdah, a stick and a half of butter. Okay, some of us do have a little sweet tooth in the morning so what is an alternate. Ill let you do the honors. So one alternate is smaller portion. Youd be surprised. Cake, this is cake. But because its a smaller portion, thats why it works. Thinking about portions is important and, michael, if you would do the honors. You eat all three of those. No. Youre worse than lara. Like mini muffins. My captain obvious comment here. Eat a piece of fruit and a teeny tiny mini muffin or biscotti, start with the fruit. It will fill you up. Yeah. Sorry do be Debbie Downer on the muffins. Come on. Look at this. Its ridiculous. We love what youre doing here, becky. We all eat breakfast. Top. Tomorrow. I cannot wait for that. Our series stealing celeb secrets, cover girl Melissa Mccarthy, people executive editor kate coyne here to share tips. She knows her stuff. Yeah, she studied design and fashion in college. Her intention was to become a fashion designer. And then she sort of started dabbling in improv and comedy and the rest is sort of history there. Yeah. Started a fashion line at 77. So Melissa Mccarthy 77 is her line and this is not something she just sort of threw her name on and is looking to rake in money. Shes a handson part of this entire line. She is executing these designs and meticulous about where a seam is running to where a button is placed, something that knees a pleat or a pocket here or there. Shes kind of obsessed really. Shes also meticulous where it will be placed in the store. Yes. Talk about that. One of the missions shes on and its really fantastic is that her goal is for all of her sizes and its important to stress, this is not a plus size line. Its been written up that way. Thats wrong. This is an all sizes line 4 through 28. And she wants all of the sizes of her clothes to be in the same place on the main floor. So this idea that, you know, a woman who might be a slightly larger size cant go shopping with her friends because its like, bye, see you later are i have to go over to the tire section to where my clothes are, thats crazy and shes calling out a lot of stores on that and demanding all of her sizes be kept together. Taking action. She has a lot of tips. Number one and shouldnt surprise anybody, make it fun. Yeah, absolutely. You know, what melissa said is that as her sizes changed over the years or her different tastes or ideas changed she never lost her sense of style and what she wants is this idea that you can wake up any day and some days you feel like wearing cheetah princes and leather pants. Referee day. And the next day you want to wake up and feel sort of like a sexy secretary vibe with a big floppy bow tie or Something Like that that you should be able to mix it up, do whatever you want from day to day that it doesnt have to be something thats so heavy. It lays into her next tip, ignore all the rules. Exactly. There is no she wants to make it very strong that you shouldnt be telling yourself, i cant wear that now because im a mom or i cant wear that because im over 40 or i cant do that because you know, i never wear patterns, wear prints, wear whatever you want. I love this one. She says pay it forward. Pay it forward so two of the shirts in her line have messages on them. One says youre doing great and the other one says good for you and that was inspired in part by her daughters who one day were walking with her and saw a man walking down the street with just a completely vulgar saying on his tshirt and she was inspired to create something that would make other people feel good when they saw it and that they would feel good about putting on. We only have five seconds. Who is number one on the best dressed . Reese witherspoon. Look at her on a red carpet and you will know why. Stunning. Go get people on newsstands on friday.

Very involved. I wear suits every day, here and other various jobs and even as an athlete, it was when you go in that locker room you have to look stylish. Were brothers so you got to go in there. Its almost a competition. So ive always been into fashion and the fabrics, the ties, the looks, the suits. Whoo. Everything, im involved in every aspect because my name is on it. You are a renaissance man. You sure are. I only work in the mornings, i need something to fill up my afternoons so im working on it. And, guy, this is a family affair.

Speak of football, the super bowl has a big birthday coming up. 50 and the nfl has invited a huge name to perform at the milestone halftime show but its not a new one. If you feel like youre having danger ya view youre not alone, bruno mars has reportedly been asked back to the big stage after his stellar performance at super bowl xlviii and has not yet agreed. We hear if he does there will be special guest stars. Were locked out of heaven at the moment because we dont know whether hes confirmed but we sure hope he does. Hes too hot. Bam. Police and the i was there for that game. He was better than the game itself. He was good. He turned it out. We broadcast that game and the game was like, blah but bruno was incredible. I think a lot of people were surprised he was picked the first time and converted a lot of people to be big fans of his. Finally, a real quickie, we spotted this in the daily mail. Might give you comfort if youre addicted to your cell phone youre not alone. A new study shows 4,000 people were surveyed and totally admitted they reach for their phones immediately after waking up, we thought it would be ten out of ten. It was only four out of ten but more than half of us do so within 15 minutes of waking up and its not just to turn off the alarm. The addiction doesnt end in the morning. The survey shows most of us check our phones up to 50 times a day. Easily. Easily. Before 10 00 a. M. I dare say. And that, everybody, is pop news. I mean [ applause ] great job.

When 5yearold riley is not gardening or taking care of chickens she looks up in the sky coming u and all that weather brought to you by Weight Watchers. Amy. Ginger, we are here now with supermodel Beverly Johnson, the first africanamerican woman to grace the cover of vogue. She is telling all about her groundbreaking career and life in her new memoir, the face that changed it all and talk to her in just a moment but heres a look at her history making career. Shes the powerhouse supermodel with stunning good looks that helped define a generation. In 1974 at the age of 21 Beverly Johnson made history and broke color barriers becoming the first africanamerican woman to grace the cover of american vogue. More than 500 covers later in a career spanning nearly four decades johnson has more than cemented her place in fashion history. Now in her new memoir, the face that changed it all, johnson is opening up about her early years growing up in buffalo, new york. Her meteoric rise to fame as well as her recent return to the headlines in december as one of the more than two dozen women who accused Comedian Bill Cosby of drugging them or sexually assaulting them. It was almost like a Family Member had betrayed me. It was such a huge sense of betrayal for me. These women gave me the courage to come forward. Reporter to date cosby has not been charged with a crime in connection to the accusations of drugging and Sexual Assault and his lawyers have dismissed the allegations. And Beverly Johnson joins us now. Thank you for being here. Well, thank you for having me. We just heard you say in the piece that you felt like cosby was a Family Member who had betrayed you. Yes. You called him back then. You never got to speak with him. You just spoke with his wife. Yes. What would you say to him now . I forgive you. What do you think should happen to bill cosby . Well, im going to leave that to the Justice Department and i just feel that hes a lightning rod for a much bigger conversation and that conversation would be the rape culture in america. You also write so much about your life as a supermodel and it really sounds like august the things we hear about are true, cigarettes, champagne and drugs. Does that pretty much sum it up. Yes and no food. You left that part out. What did what did you eat. Nothing. We thought water was fattening back then. How did you sustain yourself . Youth. Youth. Youth. But describe what a typical day was like. Well, a typical day is, you know, waking up at 5 a. M. And going on a shoot and, you know, traveling the world and working with amazing photographers. I do remember sleeping a lot in between shooting but it was just a wonderful career, of course, what happens with the wonderful career, you have a personal life also, so i got married very young at 19 years old and, you know, i had an exhusband that didnt get the meaning of ex and that kind of was, you know, a little complicated but basically it was really an extraordinary life. Extraordinary. Extraordinarily glamorous and incredible but also painful. I mean, the drug addiction was real and serious and lifethreatening. Well, absolutely. I think that people and particularly in the 70s, remember it wasnt addictive in that it increased your intelligence. Made your eyes sparkle. I read you thought you looked better when you were on drugs. And you lost your appetite so i mean we know more now than we did then. We lost a lot of people to and we are still losing a lot of people to drugs. You say the 70s but is that culture in the modeling world still happening now. I dont know. Im not there in it but hopefully people understand the complications of drugs and the dangers of drugs and and basically thats why i really wanted to do my memoirs and thats why i really wanted to share my sobriety with everyone. How did you turn your life around and find sobriety . I found sobriety in a 12step program and i found sobriety with the spiritual path that i started to go on and also with the strength of my daughter and my family and also just wanting to, you know, have the life that i always wanted and the life i think i deserved. Well, you certainly put it all on these pains. Its an incredible read. Beverly johnson, thank you very much . Thank you very much for having me. The face that changed it all is in stores now.
