We want to get straight to that disaster in texas. The deadliest hot air balloon accident in history. 16 people dead after a balloon hit a power line and crashed into a field. Federal investigators rushing to austin. This lethal incident has people wondering about the safety of these balloon rides now. Well be talking to a former chair of the ntsb who says safety regulations and additional oversight were rejected. We start with phillip mena on the ground in texas. Reporter dan, paula, good morning. In a few hours, a full team of ntsb investigators will report here. Witnesses reported h seeing a fireball in the sky. This morning, investigators on the the scene of the deadliest balloon crash in u. S. History. 16 People Killed when this hot air balloon plummeted to the ground. This photo showing it just moments before the crash. The balloon taking off just before sunrise saturday, 30 miles south of austin. Near lockhart. Investigators believe the balloon struck hightension power lines then came crashing to the ground. The first 911 call coming in at looking for a vehicle fire fully engulfed. Jolly road just off cistern. Reporter rescue crews responding to what they thought was a vehicle fire. The popping sound was the balloon connecting with the electric lines. Then, by the time i turned and saw the fireball go up, the basket was on the ground. Reporter the ntsb quickly sending a team to the scene. Its much like a crime scene. You only get one chance. So we want to make sure we do everything correctly. Reporter among those killed in the crash, the pilot, skip nichols, who also owned the company that operated the balloon. He loved what he did. His utmost, utmost priority was the safety to his passengers. Reporter so far, officials have not released the names of the other victims. Were expected to get more e details from investigator later today. Dan . Phillip mena, thank you for that report. This horrifying crash is bringing safety questions to the david kerley covers transportation for us. He joins us from our washington bureau. David, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan. This is an industry that has grabbed the attention of safety investigators in the past. The investigators concerned there is not enough regulation. This morning, after the horrific crash, questions again about whether the hot air balloon tour industry is regulated enough. I hope this doesnt happen again. Reporter this Texas Community experiencing firsthand the deadliest balloon crash in u. S. History. Youre trying to land the basket or land the balloon near the road, its oftentimes going to require you to skip over or land close to hightension power lines. Reporter this is far from the first time we have seen hot air balloons accidentally coming into contact with power lines. I hope no ones whoa zmchlt. Reporter leading to explosive fires and injuries. Oh, my god reporter a massachusetts out. We brought out towels with ice for the wounds. They were all shaken up. Reporter earlier that year, two virginia women were killed after their balloon hit wires, burst into blames, and shot up into the sky with them still in the basket. Just one month before that, the ntsb had called upon the faa for more overnight. Former wide receiver from the nfl Donte Stallworth survived a close call three years ago. Leaving him and a friend badly burned. By the time i realized we were going the hit the power line, it was too late. Reporter some of the ntsb investigators headed to the scene have been delayed by weather. Theyll look at the remnants of the balloon, studying the pilots record, and how he spent the 20 hours before the crash. I spoke with debbie hersman, earlier, the former chair of the ntsb. She talks about the safety recommendations that were not implemented. Debbie, good morning to you. We want to happy to be with you. Now, first and foremost, the ntsb is arriving to the scene today. What are the first things theyll be look for . Theyll be documenting perishable evidence. Theyll be collecting maintenance records and interviewing people who might have interacted with passengers or the crew in terms of the crash. We just heard about the safety recommendations. You were chair of the ntsb. Was an accident of this magnitude always the big fear . Absolutely. The year before we iss recommendations, there was a 19 fatal crash in egypt. We knew the potential was there for an event in the United States. We had seen hundreds of investigations where we had seen risks. It was just a question of how large the gondola would be when there was a big crash. Were seeing more and more of these commercial air balloon rides. With the current regulations, in your estimation, are they these crashes for years. Weve made these recommendations because consumers are expecting a fun ride. But theyre also expecting that they have a safe ride. And there needs to be additional oversight. Consumers have a responsibility to be aware of the risks that they could face in anything that they do. So make sure you do your research and understand who youre doing business with. Talking about the deadliest hot air balloon crash in u. S. History. What kind of Safety Measures do you anticipate being ile they do need to have some basic oversight. At least a commitment to the faa of what safety provisions theyre going to have with their operation. We know there are big risks when it comes to hot air ballooning. Winds and the environment can cause challenges. But as weve seen, power lines can also be a big risk. Whether theyre trying to avoid them or impact the power lines fire on board a balloon is not something you want to see. Tragedy like this also forces change. Debbie, thank you for being with us. Safety recommendations. A copy from 2014 urging the faa to take action on the safety recommendations issued in this letter. Again, nothing was done about it. A lot of families in pain this morning.

We want to move to politics and donald trump is at the center of a new firestorm this morning, involving the muslim parents of a fallen american soldier. Trumps response to their speech at the Democratic National convention in his interview with George Stephanopoulos is raising fresh criticism from both sides of the aisle. Mary bruce is here with more. Mary, good morning to you. Reaction to one of the most emotional moments of the Democratic Convention is leaving people outraged, frustrated, and upset. Including the family of the slain kamt, humayun khan. It was the most raw moment of the convention. The grieving father of a u. S. Army captain killed in iraq challenging donald trump. You have sacrificed nothing. And no one. Reporter trump responding, telling abcs George Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview that he, too, knows i think i made a lot of sacrifices. I worked very, very hard. Ive created thousands and thousands of jobs. Tens of thousands of jobs. Built great structures. I have had tremendous success. I think ive done a lot. Those are sacrifices . Oh, sure, i think theyre sacrifices. Reporter and trump suggesting captain humayun khans mother didnt speak because of her religion. She had nothing to say. Maybe she wasnt allowed to speak. I was in pain and all america felt that pain. Reporter what would you like mr. Trump to know . Please, mr. Trump, feel that pain, and you will be better. Reporter her husband is furious. Running for president is not an entitlement to disrespect gold star family and gold star mother not realizing her pain . Shame on him. Reporter now overnight, trump put out a statement saying loss, and that their son was a hero to the country. Captain khans mother said she doesnt think he understands the meaning of the word sacrifice. And gold star parents, of course, the parents of fallen soldiers. Mary bruce, thank you. Hillary clinton weighing in on the khan story. David wright is with the campaign right now in cleveland. David, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan. Clinton stood back most of the day, going about her business while this story gathered steam. When she finally addressed it late last night at a rally in youngstown. Donald trump is not a normal president ial candidate. Somebody who attacks everybody has something missing. Reporter overnight, Hillary Clinton blasted trump over his response to the muslim parents he attacked the distinguished father of a soldier who sacrificed himself for his unit, captain khan. Hes attacked immigrants and women. Hes attacked people with disabilities. Its a long list, my friends. Reporter clinton is on a bus tour through the rust belt, drums up votes in the battleground states of ohio and pennsylvania. The candidate showed off her husbands clothes. When we were packing for the bus tour, he said, what am i supposed to wear . Reporter not just made in america. Made right here. You know what . This shirt was made for in reading, pennsylvania. Reporter but his shirt was no match for the cover of the new york post. The ogle office, screams the headline of the new york post. We actually cant show you the rest. Its Melania Trump posing lady godiva style, apparently from her modeling days. No comment from the Trump Campaign on the post photos. Which is odd given how angry trump was at ted cruz when he used racy pictures from a gq shoot in an ad. Lets bring in jon karl. Good morning, sir. Good morning, dan. So on this khan story, donald trump has weathered many, many controversies like this in the past. Ive asked questions like this many, many times. Do you think this one is different . He said, i could shoot somebody on fifth avenue and my supporters would still vote for me. The level of response on this one is more intense. Its now a general election audience he has to deal with, not just republican primary voters. I dont think any of the people supporting trump will flee him. This puts so much pressure on republicans to come out and Say Something yet again about donald people like paul ryan have come out and said things about donald trump been and it hasnt moved the needle in terms of polls. Hes part of the issue is that Hillary Clintons negatives are so incredibly high. Most people supporting trump are doing it primarily, polls say, to oppose Hillary Clinton. And, you talk to trump supporters. They dont take a lot of this stuff seriously. Right. Exactly. Its not that theyre agreeing or buying in. They just dont take it seriously. Let me theres reporting that the Trump Campaign is going to make a big bet on three big battleground states. Florida, ohio, and pennsylvania. Theyre reportedly going to spend most of their time, energy, and money in these three states. They feel if they dont win all three, they wont win in november. Is this a smart strategy . Its hard to discern strategy. With the Trump Campaign. He put out a travel schedule. That story, youre exactly right. He put out a travel schedule plattsburg, new york, and wisconsin. States that have not gone republican in a long time. Hes betting on changing the map because the map is hurting him right now. The map favors democrats, no matter who the candidates were. They hope pennsylvania can flip. Pennsylvania has not voted for a republican since 1988 in the landslide george bush victory over michael dukakis. Jon karl, thank you very much.

Com as we close in nine, police are looking for a predator who tried to rape a wom were live with what we know. Were learning details about the hot air air balloon in texas that killed 16 people.

Its all good. With us. Im rob nelson. And im Michelle Charles charlesworth. I had a great time down the shore.

And there were there the twin beautiful in twins. I had a microphone up here. We got started in central park. Lets show you the forecast going forward. Cloudy and showers will come and go. The heaviest rain after 2 00. Staying with us through the early evening hours. 78 for homes stead and 78 for smith town. West hampton at 73. 77 for new york. 70 these temperatures right here, maybe we add 5, 6 degrees and those are our high temperatures this afternoon. Everyone needs their umbrella and rain gear. The Flash Flood Watch is including the areas in green. Lets put the radar on top from hillsboro to mount olive. We have light showers until 2 00. Then well this watch is in effect until 11 00 tonight. Tracking the showers is going to be tricky. The atmosphere is unstable. Were not tracking a line of storms coming in. When the air gets unstable enough where you are, thats when the atmosphere sort of opens up and lets that moisture out in the form of heavy downpours. That can happen over and over again in the same area, so thats the real problem here is the repeating of the thunderstorms. Theres a chance for every hour
