We have our coverage across the country. Lets begin with richard engel. He was in chelsea. Reporter i spoke to a witness even closer to the scene than i was. He said he heard a very loud explosion, immediately thought it was a bomb. His ears were ringing. He was inside his apartment. The window didnt break, but the mirrors fell to the ground. He went outside glass everywhere, on both sides of this very busy intersection. He said that some of the broken windows were as high as on the fourth floor of nearby buildings. Whats unclear, however, is who did this or why. Just after 8 30 last night, an explosion rocked new york city as chelsea neighborhood, sending people running in panic. Lets go get off the streets you felt it in your heart. I heard a massive explosion then fire trucks and police cars. A massive response. Very unnerving. Reporter social media lit up and crowds grew as First Responders raced to the scene. A mangled dumpster was one of the first imaging to emerge, leading many to wonder, what caused the explosion . Theres no evidence at this point of a terror connection, but we want to be very clear, indication is this was an intentional act. Reporter according to Law Enforcement sources, police have video of showing a man placing some sort of object into the dumpster. Multiple people were injured by the explosion and treated at local hospitals. Thankfully none of these are lifethreatening injuries. Reporter as polices work to clear the area, another device, a Pressure Cooker, was found a few blocks away. Continue to investigate. Willie, this is a very popular area, with people going out at night, a lot of bars, a lot of restaurants. Where this explosion took place specifically, according to witnesses, was near a church which wouldnt have been very crowded at 8 30 at night. Also a school and Rehabilitation Center for the blind, but a couple apartment buildings, but a very crowded area with people going out and walking in the streets. And pretty remarkable t lifethreatening. As i mentioned at the top, you live in the area. You heard it, you felt it. Reporter i live overseas, but i keep an apartment very close to here, just down the block. I wasnt sure if it was an explosion. I heard a loud rumbling, but then just moments later, there was a very quick response, helicopters in the air, fire trucks, Police Moving to the area. This whole neighborhood last lights. Very impressive, very overwhelming response that seemed to start just machining after i heard that blast. Your was some of the first reporting from the scene. Thanks, richard. Richard engel in new york city. Another explosion it before at the jersey shore. Morgan, what can you tell us about this . Willie, good morning. Were standing where the pipe here in ceaseside heights, new jersey. Can you still see the rim of the trash can behind me. This happened 30 minutes into a race designed to support military veterans, but thankfully that race was already delayed, which means no one was here yet and no one was hurt, but the question was what was designed to have happened . That device was attached to other devices set to go off, but didnt. The race was immediately their homes until 6 00 p. M. In the evening. This is being if investigated as an active terrorist, harkening back to the boston mar athan where three people were killed and up to 260 people were injured. The fbi is on the ground investigating. They still do not have a motive, do not have a suspect. People here in ceaseside heights are wondering who did this and why. Willie . Again incredibly fortunate there were no a man with a knife attacked at least eight people with a mall in minnesota last night. Witnesses say he made references to allah. Good morning, gadi. Reporter this entire mall is a massive crime scene. We understand that seven of the eight victims have been released from the hospital, all of the victims here are expected to make a full recovery. Suspect. We are told he came to this mall wearing what was possibly a private security shirt, and may have asked people if they wemus before attacking strangers at random. He was eventually confronted by an offduty police officers, he was shot. He was killed. The police chief responding to specific request questions about whether this was terrorism. The police chief saying theyre trying to do their due diligence. They have requested the fbi, but they are still interviewing witnesses, victims, and that could take some time, because that was a saturday night at the mall. A lot of people were here shopping. That offduty officer acting very quickly, perhaps saving some live. Gadi shall wards in minnesota, thank you. Peter, what are investigators telling you about the scene in new york city last night . On the explosions there is some amount of luck, first the quite a bit of physical evidence, because one of the devices in new york didnt go off. The second improvised bomb in new york was intact when the investigators got to it. So analysts are looking for common features all the way down to how the wires were joined together. There are broadly speaking some features in common with what was planted in new jersey. Both the devices were set to go off with electronic timers. When the one in new jersey exploded, nobody was around because of the a delay in starting the race. Bomb was not set to go off by somebody who was watching with a remote control. Officials say the new jersey device was composed the three bombs made from value gannized steel pipe like this bundled together. It did not explode complete lid. Only one of the pipe bombs went off and it may not have exploded entirely itself. Because of theres so much of that device left behind, investigators have a good idea how it was made even though it was damaged and appeared to have instructions widely available on the internet. A similar guide was nope published by a al qaedainspired publication inspire. This morning federal Officials Say they have not concluded, willie, whether its all the work of the same person or the same group. Or if there is a link yesterday to terrorism, as mayor de blasio said. Lets turn to shawn former top fbi official, now the president of crowd strike services. Shawn, good morning. We have a dedicated device in the chelsea neighborhood, an undetonated Pressure Cooker in that same neighborhood, a separate device from earlier in the day from Seaside Heights he new jersey. What are they looking at . You have multiwall incidents, lots of physical evidence. Pete williams just described shrapnel and other forensic evidence that well see at the scene, where these two explosions occurred both in seaside and in chelsea. The investigators will be looking at these two things in new jersey and new york, separate types of investigations, but absolutely there will be coordination very close. While theres no direct evidence linking you this to terrorism, the joint Terrorism Task force working with state and police officers, are going to be defaulting to that. When i say that, youve got to look at what happened and how it happened. Weve seen these types of devices used oftentimes in terrorist incidents. Theyll default to that, because they have a very strong mechanism, a vehicle in terms of the jttf, a lot of expertise in going through physical evidence, evaluating it, and theyve got access to an awful lot of intelligence. Initial to the physical evidence, theyll be out talking somebody knows what happens, either coconspirators, neighbors, family member, coworkers who may have seen something. There will be a lot of investigation. Were only 12 hours into this, willie, so well expect lots of information to come out and the investigation will change as this in information is developed. Shawn, mayor de blasio made on point of saying theres no link to terrorism. Thats a murky word. You can be directed from overseas or say you were at what point does Law Enforcement make that connection. It always comes down to who did it and why . The motivation. For some its ideological purposes, social or political means, somebody looking to influence or create chaos for their for that type of an agenda. Theyll look at that and too i it to terrorism. When you think about those who the jttf looks at this as a terrorist event if thats in fact the case. Thats a major concern where youve got individuals here who might not be operating at the direction of an organized group, but picking up information through social media. Theyre learning about how to create improvised explosive devices, still causing and creating the type of chaos that supports that jihadi indication, but Law Enforcement is absolutely looking at that as one of the possible motivation, willie. Shawn henry, always appreciate your point of view and perspective on morning likes this. Meanwhile, president ial nominees Hillary Clinton and donald trump weigh weighing in Hallie Jackson is in miami. Good morning. Hi there, willie. Good morning. Both candidates responding in different ways. Donald trump at his latenight surfacing. Hillary clinton talked about it later on that night on her press plane with reporters. I must tell you that just before i got off the plane, a bomb went off in new york, and nobody knows exactly whats going on, but boy, we are living in a time always wiser to wait until you have i making conclusions. Reporter an aide tells nbc news clinton was informed of the explosion in chelsea just after her remarks at the Congressional Black Caucus dinner in washington, d. C. Thats where she delivered a blistering critique of trump without mentioning the name, and she went after his birther comments as well as president acknowledged the president was in fact born in the u. S. , obama saying last night, in other breaking news, the world is round, not flat. As always, politics swirling around the news. Hallie jackson, thanks so much. Lets get a check of the weather from dylan dreyer. Good morning, willie. We have some rain especially back towards oklahoma, where we have some heavy this morning moving through eastern oklahoma, but also attached to this cold fr i we need rain in the northeast, but i dont think today is the day well get a lot of it. Scattered showers and isolated storms will move through, so a very unsettled day as it moves eastward. As it moves into tomorrow morning thats where well see the best chance of heavy rain stretching down into the midatlantic, and then by the time in the afternoon well see the heaviest of the rain moves out. Elsewhere across the country, reporter radar tracking some showers this sunday morning but if you watch the Motor Vehicles you can see theyre moving generally to the northeast. Heading more to the north shore and New Hampshire sea coast. I expect the south shore and the cape to remain dry but maybe even a rumble of thunder this afternoon.

Can i mess your hair up . Yes jimmy fallon going where few men have gone before, all you have in Donald Trumps famous hair thisee show. Technology is changing our lives so quickly, you forget it was only a few years ago the idea of touching a button on your phone and having a car magically appear to take you home seemed like something from the space age. Now Services Like uber and lyft with the famous pink moustaches are part of daily life, but the ambition for its founder john zimmer goes far beyond just sharing rides. Hows it going . Look at this traffic. Yeah. Like most of us, john zimmer hates traffic. While most of us just curse and pound the steering wheel, zimmer is doing something to fix the problem. The is 2yearold president and cofounder of Ridesharing Company lyft got hooked on cars as a kid, but not just because they looked cool and went fast. He loved what they represented. Exploration. I remember being on the ground playing with cars getting over any obstacle. Is there a direct line . I think that freedom wasnt really there, and that the cars become more like a 9,000 ball and chain with all the maintenance, the parking. So i wanted to go to that original idea that made me so excited, but actually deliver the real freedom. John first noticed the number of empty seats during his drives ten of us would be driving back with just one or two vehicles. I learned that 96 of the time the car is parked. In 2008, zimmer left his job at lehman brothers, just before the company crashed, to pursue his vision of ride sharing with partner logan green. Four years later lyft was launched with the signature pink muss tack. Today it operates in 20 across the country, about 13 million rides per month, and valued at 5. 5 billion. Carpooling to most people with strangers was a nonstarters just a few years ago. Theyre doing it now. When did you see attitudes we had a tagline with your friend with the car. We encourage people to sit up front. Right away people started getting excited, meeting new people. It took off so fast we had to create a waitlist. Americans use ridesharing services. 15 of adults of all ages do the same. Thats according to the Pugh Research center. Even as americans embrace this new frontier, the Taxi Commission entrenched in our cities were not as welcoming. Im sure you have Great Stories of sitting across a tax commissioner and him sort of giving you the dressen down kid, you have no idea what youre getting into. There was an enforcement he said, look, son, youre going to shut down, arent you . I want, no, respectfully, you know, what we are doing is legal and were going to continue to operate. To which he said . Look, son, youre going to [ laughter ] beyond the general, the biggest challenge is the behemoth its become a verb uber. When people think about your sector, they think about uber first probably, and then they what is the relationship like between uber and lyft . They got started first with everyone being everyone as private cars. We said we want to bring down the cost of transportation. We know youre doing something right in uber starts the paying attention to you. They put up billboards trying to lure away driver. What was your reaction . I think the differences speak for themselves and how we focus on the people involved, and process. Whos your favorite bask ballplayer. And some highprofile stars have joined in on the fun as undercover drivers. I actual le met demi lovato too. Its good to see you again. Odds are you wont get them behind the car, but you may bet someone like robert henderson, the companys most prolific driver. But its fun, and youre thinking like my gosh, ive been out this long . And you laugh about it. But zimmers goals are much bigger than getting us to work or home from a bar. He wants to change the way we live. At what point do you believe all your cars will be selfdriving . I believe in about five years the majority of trips will be in Autonomous Vehicles. What will just like a subscription, you purchase a lyft plan, a long family trip for the weekend, a large vehicle with a screen, if youre on your personal trip to work, you can you productive, maybe take a nap. You understand this still blows peoples minds. Yeah. A New York Park with an lifted railroad tracks, he looks frontier in obsolete modes of transportation. In ten years, i believe that personal car ownership will all but end in major cities. Ten years, thats a quick turnaround. Do you believe that will happen . I do. People are already moving away from car ownership, and eventually Autonomous Vehicles get out, and then it makes no sense to own a vehicle. It seems not just a Good Business decision by you, but a necessity at some point for our cultures. We ct were at a turning point where more and more people are moving to cities. Theres just not enough space. Its absolutely going to happen. It has to happen. The good news is its going to be better for all of us. New york city 20 years from now, what does it look like . All of the parked cars on the side of the road, imagine all those gone, the majority of parking lots and spots gone, instead of a parking lot it could be new housing or a park. Imagine more of this . Reporter can you hurry up and make this happen . Yeah, were going fast. What do the Car Companies think about this talk . Well, earlier this year General Motors invested 500 million in lyft to develop a network of thoseself driving cars, echos john zimmer gms i want says, quote we think or business and personal mobility will change in the next five years than the last 50. Ne nick crowl. Hes now headed to broadway. Its funny to hear zimmer talk about it. It sounds like a crazy futuristic view, but he says its coming. It sounds nice. I dont have a car in the city. The thought of sharing a car with other people used to be so strange, now its just the way you get around. Everything else. And spend it on food. How about another look at the weather. We are taking a look at the week ahead. This week its going to be a bit unsettled across the northeast, especially today and into tomorrow. In the morning were looking at heavy rain in the northeast. All week long, though, temperatures for most of the country will be above average, running about five to ten degrees above average. Middle of the week we could even sunday morning but if you watch the Motor Vehicles you can see theyre moving generally to the northeast. Heading more to the north shore and New Hampshire sea coast. I expect the south shore and the cape to remain dry but maybe even a rumble of thunder this afternoon. That will be very, very hitormiss stuff. Dont cancel your plans if you have tickets to the pats or red sox game later on this evening. Better chance of rain late and thats your latest forecast. Dylan, thanks a lot.

Reporter of the three major nonwhite actors. 18 out of 73 certainly leaves room for improvement, but compared to in years oscar sowhite controversy where all the major nominees are were white, theres no contest. A lot of people thought of emmys gave they nominations so because they dont want the controversy. I think the acting spoke for itself. The rise and now dominance of streaming. The first year that broadcast is not in the top three. Well, not so unbelievable. Four years ago they had no nominations, and now theyre the third most nominated with 54. Its binge watching.

Its one of historys greatest contradictions, how could the man who wrote all men are created equal september and rely on the lives of slaves, including sally hemming, who he had a longterm relationship and several children. The gathering of slaves who helped built the legacy. Monticello is a monument to husband genius. Jeffersons hand is in every detail, but the hands that built this magnificent house were the hands of jeffersons slaves. Its pretty powerful to see they have thinks finger pripts in the bricks that my ancestors put these fringer prints there. Theyre so small, them were actually just kids. More than 100 enslaved people worked here and the surrounding feels for decades. Monticello wouldnt be here were it not for slaves. I have many ancestors including salary hemmings older brother, who was may great great great grandfather. This is the home of my great great great great grandfather. We were witness to an monticello invited some of the descendants of the enslaved people to come here for a night. It was both party and pilgrimage. A journey of connection. Shannon le near is the offer son of jeffersons children, the story of one american family. You look out at this beautiful place and think, wow, its beautiful here, but would my ancestors have thought it was beautiful . Some spent the night here sleeping on the h replicated slave quarters. There was little comfort, save knowing your own flesh and blood had been here too. They worked children from sunrise to sunset, so that was important for me to wake up as they did. And to be here as they were forced to be here. Monticello. To her this is hallowed ground. Im thinking, right, this is the soil, this is the i have soil at home. Do you . Yes, i have at home. Among those who stayed the night was joe mcgill, founder of the slave dwelling project. He slept in almost 100 slave quarters in 17 states. Why should people do this . Why should people come and sleep in a building thats right behind you right here . In these environments, it forces the conversation of race relations, those things that were set forth in the founding of this nation and where we are today, it helps us fill in the blanks. Spots left blank, because in much of america, whileally men may have been created equal, they were not treated equally. Even jefferson, enlightened, naya is a historician at monticello. Some of his memories were slaves lifting him on a horse, and one of the his last memories is a slave repositioning his pillow before he died. There was no way they lived without these people. These people, whose childrens childrens children met so the spent the night. What was it light . Real life talking to desce descendan descendants, sharing an evening like we havent had in a couple hundred years. If youre the descendant of an enslaved person, a lot of times you dont know where you came from. Jefferson had meticulous records. He owned more than 600 slaves in his lifetime, right . Where their people came from. So it was very powerful emotional experience. I can only imagine. You touched on it in the piece, its one of the great contradictions that the men who wrote the declaration of independence owned 600 slaves. Washington freed his slaves. Jefferson never freed his slaves, except the children of sally hemming. What a beautiful piece. Harry smith, thank you so much. Good morning, sir. This week we highlight another life well lived.
