Police say theyve narrowed down the search but theyve not found the two remaining passengers. Weve also found kind of a debris field. We found different items that would have been inside the hotair balloon. This is very helpful for us in our search efforts, because now we have an area of concentration. And that appears to be the moment when youre seeing here what appears to be the moment when the burning basket fell away from the balloon. Weve got more on the accident now that happened just before 8 00 last night. Authorities say that hotair balloon participating in the midatlantic Balloon Festival near richmond drifted into power lines and caused the basket to burst into flames. The balloon then continued to fly away and that basket, as we saw, right here looking like a fireball in the night sky. The pictures are unbelievable. One witness reported hearing two people screaming as they jumped from that burning basket. And you could hear them screaming, please, dear god, sweet jeez sujes
This is the cbs evening news. Good evening, i am jim axelrod and this is a western edition of the broadcast. The voice is calling the voices calling for action against the boko haram Terror Network in nigeria are growing wider and more wide spread. It now nearly four weeks since boko haram kidnapped more than 300 girls in the northern part of the country.

Alive. Now, to see those pictures with mr. Curtis with his mother at Logan International really says it all. You can see her beaming when she looks at her husband. He looks physically in much better shape. We saw videos earlier this week released. They were taken in the last months of his captivity. He was unshaven, unshowered. His clothes did not look particularly clean. To see him in a clean shirt and shaved and showered, looking like the human that he is, is clearly a sign that things are Getting Better for him. We expect as they have said that they are going to be down here around 10 00. Were expecting them to come down any memo. There is a gathering outside the house right and we hope to hear more very soon. I cant imagine how the reunion was between theo and his mother at logan last night. Can you tell us more about that . Reporter it was joyous for them. He did release a statement thanking everybody. Here is a guy who has been kept in captivity in a basement for 22 months and is

A young reporter and cameraman shot and killed in a live broadcast and on a personal note i just wanted to say that. Too often part of my job every day as a journalist is to cover tragedy, but todays news hits close to home. This morning two young journalists were murdered doing what they loved, telling stories within their community, and instead now the loved ones of 24yearold Alison Parker and 27yearold adam ward will not get to see them tomorrow.
