Them, sam. Its a lot. One thing thats not shut down, is the weather pattern. We have one tropical system in whats been a quiet season. And we have a big snowmaker in part of the country. Lets start with video first. Miami, im going to show you pictures of last nights rain. This was not that system. But it was loosely wrapped around the Northern Edge of that system. And im showing the rest of the country the rain you got in western dade last night, in the six to eight rainfall range. This is what were expecting on the gulf coast. And there will be heavy rain on the eastern seaboard, monday and tuesday next week. Lets deal with what this system is actually spreading in here. You cacan see theres an awful t of rain that comes up around the gulf coast. Most of the models are targeting that system to make it towards the gulf coast by the time we get to the weekend. At the same time, theres a system off the west that is pushing in cold air to replace the record warmth thats been sitting in the middle of the country. This is going to be two things with this. A powerful line of thunderstorms that will include tornadoes today possibly, and more than likely tomorrow, as the cold front sets up the strong boundary. Areas of red, minneapolis, kansas city, wichita involved in that. And then, an area of blizzardlike conditions and snow. One to two feet of snow in places like the western dakotas. Working in the middle of wyoming, montana, also in western colorado. This is a lot to watch. Most of the country will be focused on weather maps, all the way through the first part of next week. Stay up with your local abc stations for each of those. Tropical situation in the gulf coast and parts of the east. And snowmaker in the west. Thanks. The latest of the government shutdown. Three days in, the consequences are spreading across the country. But neither side in washington is budging yet. Jonathan karl covering it from the white house. The congressional leaders went to the white house last night. But not much seemed to happen. Reporter thats right, george. Day three. The president had that meeting. But theres no end in sight. Even after spending over an hour talking with the president in the oval office, speaker of the house john boehner, simply, the president refused to negotiate. The president reiterated one more time tonight that he will not negotiate. I would hope that the president and my democrat colleagues in the senate would listen to the American People and sit down and have a serious discussion about resolving these differences. Reporter a few minutes later, Democratic Leaders emerged from the same meeting with a different view. I can only conclude that they wanted to shut down the government. Reporter the president has insisted he will not negotiate on the Affordable Care act or anything else, until republicans agree to reopen the government and raise the socalled debt ceiling, allowing the government to borrow more money. If that doesnt happen by october 17th, on top of being shutdown, the u. S. Government would face its firstever default, with catastrophic economic consequences. How real is the danger that the country may default . I think that it looks like these people are headed where they want to go. Reporter shortly before the meeting, president obama suggested unreasonable republican demands have left him at wits end. Am i exasperated . Absolutely im exasperated because this is entirely unnecessary. Reporter speaker of the house john boehner tried to revive the idea of a socalled grand bargain. A big budget deal on taxes and spending to reduce the deficit. But the president s answer was firm. No negotiations on anything until congress reopens the government and removes that threat of default. Jon, it seems like more and more people are resigned to the idea that the stalemate is going to continue. Maybe the full two weeks until we hit the deadline on default. Reporter thats the growing view here. If you can imagine this, no meetings scheduled here. That one didnt go well last night. No need for further meetings, the view is. And congress is planning to go home over the weekend. Likely to get an earful. We continue to feel the ripple effects. Now, to the impact the shutdown could have on homeland security. The nations top intelligence official raising the red flag, saying intelligence workers are out of a job right now. And the risks from that are real. Pierre thomas with that story. Reporter good morning, robin. That top intelligence official had a blunt warning. This is about more than politics. It may be making us all less safe. Heres what james clapper, the director of national intelligence, told congress. This seriously damages our ability to protect the safety and security of this nation and its citizens. Ive never seen anything like this. Clapper went on to talk about the civilians that are out. 70 of the staff. This is real here, pierre. Reporter sources tell me theres so many people out of the office that theres real concern that critical analysis will be slowed down. The question is, can a smaller intelligence workforce keep pace with the amount of intelligence coming in . Is there some file that could be critical that they might not get to . Thats the question, robin. This goes beyond politics right now. Pierre, thank you very much. I know youre staying on top of it. Were going to turn to josh with the rest of the morning top stories. Were going to begin with the breaking news we showed you. Tragedy at sea. Dozens of people are dead and hundreds more are feared dead, after a migrant boat sank off the coast of italy. Abcs lama hasan joins us now. Lama, what do you know . Reporter good morning, josh. Heres what we know so far. 92 people are dead. And hundreds are still missing. And officials warn that the death toll is likely going to rise. Heres what happened. Overnight, a ship packed with 500 people, including women and children, were forcedly first capsizing and then catching on fire. One theory is, after the vessel was running into trouble, they used flares to call for help. That may have caused the fire to break out, forcing the passengers to jump overboard into the sea for safety. At this hour, coast guard, police, helicopters and patrol boats are on the scene, searching for any survivors and victims. Hundreds of migrants seeking asylum make this trip to italy from africa and the middle east every year. The vessels are often overcrowded. But this, by far, is the deadliest accident this year. Josh . Something must be done. Lama hasan, thanks for that. Southwest has fired the captain of the plane that landed so hard in new yorks La Guardia Airport in july that its nose gear collapsed. Were showing you video of that landing. They say the captain suddenly took control from the first officer, a mere 400 feet from the ground. And again, landed nosefirst, injuring 16 people in the process. And new questions this morning about the safety of electric cars after the 70,000 tesla, touted as the worlds safest car, did this. Erupted in flames near seattle. The company says a large metallic object struck the battery, sparked that fire that later reignited. Teslas stock has fallen since the video surfaced. Overnight, we learned about a new leak of radioactive water at japans crippled Nuclear Power plant. Its the second leak into the Pacific Ocean in less than two months. Officials say there was no gauge on the leaking water tank to even warn of the danger. And finally, forget about the dog eating your homework. How about this . A golden retriever in montana ate her owners cash. 5 100 bills gone. Take a look. That check in her mouth, a government check. Because, get this. The owners smart enough to wait for her to pass the bill she chewed. He cleaned them, sent them to the u. S. Treasury, treasury sent him a check for the 500. Hes letting the dog hold the check in his mouth. Again some folks have not learned. For all you kids, by the way, paper is not consumed. It cannot be digested. A dog cant ever really eat your homework, just so were clear. Oh, interesting. Josh elliott im now the enemy of kids everywhere. That takeaway. Thanks. Were going to turn to the deadly accident in tennessee, where a church bus collided with a tractortrailer and an suv. A fiery crash that has killed eight people. Abcs Steve Osunsami has the story. Reporter witnesses say the impact looked and sounded like a fireball that they could see for miles. We do have confirmed fatalities at the scene. Reporter eight people lost their lives on this highway east of knoxville. And 12 had to be rushed to area hospitals. Many of them, still being treated this morning. Police say the charter bus carrying a church group of Senior Citizens was on the way home from a jubilee when the left front fire blew and the bus lost control. It swerved over the median and into traffic on the other side of the highway. First striking a white tahoe. And then slamming into the side of a tractortrailer that burst into flames. Its the first time ive seen that ever bothered me this bad. And ive seen them all. So, ive cried. Ive been here since 2 00 and ive cried. And ill cry again. Reporter 18 seniors on that bus and 6 are gone. So, is the driver of the tractortrailer and one of the three people in that suv. The highway was closed for several hours. But this morning, traffic is flowing on interstate 40. For good morning america, Steve Osunsami, abc news, atlanta. Our thoughts are with all of the families that were affected. Now, to the verdict in the Michael Jackson wrongful death lawsuit. The Jackson Family sued concert promoter aeg live, claiming that the group was responsible for the superstars death. But the jury did not see it that way. Abcs david wright has more. Reporter after five months and more than 50 witnesses, a verdict. Did aeg live hire dr. Conrad murray . Answer, yes. Was dr. Conrad murray unfit or incompetent to perform the work for which he was hired . Answer, no. Reporter a verdict in favor of aeg live. The jury rejecting the Jackson Familys claim that the concert promoter was somehow responsible for the king of pops death. Its been an exhausting five months. And its been an extremely stressful last three or four days. Reporter Michael Jacksons mother and three children had sought 1. 5 billion in damages against aeg live. They said in the runup to the this is it tour, the promoter hired dr. Conrad murray, the doctor who administered jackson the fatal dose of propofol. We find dr. Conrad murray guilty. Reporter that doctor is behind bars, convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter in a separate criminal case. The jurors ruled that murray had been fit for the job. In other words, it wasnt aegs fault. How can aeg have done anything about it when they were kept in the dark . Its easy to paint a picture of a faceless corporation. But these are people that are being blamed for something that wasnt their doing. Reporter jacksons lawyers are hinting at an appeal. Well be exploring all options legally. Reporter perhaps not the last jackson trial after all. For good morning america, david wright, abc news, los angeles. Thanks to david for that. Now, the latest on that wild confrontation between a motorcycle gang and a father driving his family in an suv. This morning, one of the bikers has been charged. Police are searching for a second. And a third biker is speaking out. Abcs linzie janis is tracking all of it. Reporter just in the last few minutes, abc news has learn police have found and questioned the biker behind the helmet cam video. Police want to see all of the raw footage, not just what was posted online. Also this morning, police say they are searching for one man in particular. Overnight, the nypd released these new photos in hopes of finding one of the prime suspects in the now infamous road rage incident, pitting dozens of motorcyclists against a family in an suv. That biker seen here smashing the window of the suv with his helmet is at the center of this manhunt. That means 28yearold Christopher Cruz is now the only motorcyclist charged in the incident so far. He was in court wednesday, accused of reckless driving after he put lien off and caused a fenderbender. Police say it was the single event that caused the rest of that terrifying encounter. Cruzs lawyers say he is innocent. The video doesnt show anything that happened before. Reporter also this morning, were hearing from one of the bikers on that ride who says driver 33yearold alexian lien did something unforgivable. In a panic, he peeled off, leaving father of two edwin miese paralyzed. Pull over to the side and exchange paperwork. But to pull off and run over people in the process is not really right. Reporter overnight, protesters gathered outside the hospital where miese is being treated. As for lien, he has not been charged. Police say they are looking into his conduct. His lawyer says he will finally break his silence later on today. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say. Look forward to that. You said the police have all the tape . Theyre questioning the man who took that helmet cam footage. Thats going to be key. Now, to an amazing story of luck and survival. We showed you the astonishing picture of a nail into the heart. It happened when a man building a deck accidentally shot a nail gun into his chest. Right into his heart. He survived. And now, hes speaking out about it. Abcs alex perez has that story. Reporter take a look at this unbelievable xray of eugene rakows heart, as a nail went into the carpenters breastbone. They told me i was lucky. Reporter thats because it came just two millimeters from putting a nail in his own coffin friday. Came down, right in my chest. Reporter rakow was mixing his neighbors deck when he caught the nail in his chest. With the nail in his heart, he ran to his truck and called the first person that came to mind, his wife, carmen. At one point i started to lose it. Get it together. Reporter with her own heart sinking, carmen rushed her husband to the hospital. He felt gurgling and crunching in his chest. Reporter doctors say where the nail hit rakow is most likely what saved his life. The nail caught on the sternum just like the sternum was a two by four. Reporter this Cross Section xray shows how deep into his heart the nail went. Just two millimeters away from the coronary artery. Surgeons were able to remove the spike and sue two stitches on his heart. I would play the lottery tonight. Reporter rakow says he knows hes lucky. But his goal is to return to his work as a carpenter. If it wasnt for gods protective hand, i would have been done. Reporter a second shot at life after a shot to the heart hell never forget.

And day after day, his expression gives up nothing. For good morning america, Neal Karlinsky, abc news, seattle. Were going to turn to the stunning arrest of a drug kingpin that goes by the name Dread Pirate Roberts. Appears to have cornered the internet drug market. His real name is Ross Ulbricht. Gio benitez is here with all of the details. Good morning, gio. Reporter good morning to you. The fbi calls it the most sophisticated criminal marketplace on the internet. Thousands of drug dealers used it to sell drugs and completely hide their identities. This morning, the fbi says that 29yearold seemingly cleancut entrepreneur was living a secret life as a digital drug lord operating an online black market bazaar, called silk road. Heres an online commercial. Now, Ross Ulbricht is in federal custody. Arrested tuesday. And the site he allegedly ran, shut down after a twoyear undercover operation. A sophisticated individual who took the skills and the talents and developed an online website that marketed illegal goods and services. Reporter just look at some of the 13,000 items offered through that underground site. Ultraclean cocaine. Clean and real lsd. Highgrade mdma, also known as molly. All with fast and free shipping. Court documents say silk road sold 1. 2 billion worth of drugs and illegal services in just under three years. They were comfortable operating in that environment because they felt that they enjoyed complete anonymity. Reporter investigators say the penn state graduate tried hiding his identity on silk road with the user name Dread Pirate Roberts. Just like in the movie the princess bride. Youre the bred pirate roberts, admit it. Reporter it seems one silk road user threatened to reveal the identities of thousands of others. Investigators say ulbricht tried to execute a murderforhire on that user, offering 150,000 to a wouldbe hitman because, quote, this kind of behavior is unforgivable to me, especially here on silk road. Anonymity is sacrosanct. Just because silk road is shut down doesnt mean the concept will go away easily. The operator made 80 million in fees. Thats a huge incentive. Reporter 80 million. Ulbrichts attorney, a public defender, has not returned our called for comment. Investigators say his key mistake, he allegedly used his personal email address for nearly all silk road communications, george. Thanks very much. Lets talk to dan abrams about this, our chief Legal Affairs anchor. Im amazed that a website like this could stay up for so long. Its accessed through a special network on the internet, which allowed users to immediately encrypts, masks who they are. So, you cant identify what their i. P. Address is. And the Payment System is through bitcoin, which is digital currency. Not backed up by international banks. Not backed up by u. S. Banks. But simply based on the confidence of the users who exchange these bitcoins computer to computer. The fbis case is based on the idea if they can show that Dread Pirate Roberts is Ross Ulbricht . Can they link he was trying to hide his identity on the site, as well. So, the first thing theyre going to have to do is definitively link him as the person who runs the site. And typically when youre talking about a website, people would say, if people are exchanging information and theyre dealing drugs, its not our responsibility. We just put up the site. The problem is, in this site, theyre taking commissions. And you have a beautiful site. Looks like amazon in the sense that its got all the different kinds of drugs that are for sale up there. It will be very difficult to claim, we didnt know about what was happening on the site. We heard at the end of the piece, this is not going away. No. This is this is going to be the biggest takedown of what is currently in existence. And youre now going to see them on warning. And youre going to see a bunch of smaller entities begin to try to take over. Thanks very much. Sam with the weather. Thats the perfect word. Fascinating. Unbelievable. Lets get to the boards.

Were back, now, at 7 43, with radio legend casey kasem at the center of a family feud. So many know him as the host of american top 40. Now his kids are fighting with his wife, jean, saying they havent let them see their father in months. Abcs nick watt has the latest. Daryl hall and john oates has the most popular song in the usa this week. Reporter for nearly 40 years on our tvs and our radios now, were up to our longdistance dedication. Reporter casey kasem counted down the soundtrack of our lives. This morning, his story has seemingly gone from americas top 40 to family feud. Friends and family this week, protesting outside kasems Beverly Hills mansion, claiming his second wife, jean, wont let them see the deejay. Until now, kasem was most famous for playing loretta on cheers. Why do you think shes doing that . I cant even speculate. I dont know. From the outside, it looks like what we call the hollywood second wife syndrome. She may feel theyre threatening the money. She may feel theyre threatening the control or power. Reporter casey is 71 and in failing health. Hes rich. His house alone is reportedly worth as much as 40 million. I dont want any of the money. Were doing just fine on our own. And it has nothing she can have all of it. All of it. All of it and then some. Just give us our father. Reporter kasems only brother was also on that protest. All this is about, to see my brother and tell him i love him. Thats all this is about. Nothing else. For once in hollywood, theyre not trying to get the money. Im willing to believe that these kids just want to see their dad. Reporter we reached out to jean kasem for comment. No response. Kasem himself was also not available. Unfortunately, hes not able to speak for himself at this time. If he were, he would demand to see us. Theres no doubt in my mind. Reporter for good morning america, nick watt, abc news, los angeles. As josh said, truly the voice of generations. Wishing the family the best. We are. Coming up, everybody, behind miley cyrus. Why she says shes really been going so edgy on stage.
