As we come on the air across several states. 20 reported tornadoes already. New images tonight showing just how close a passenger jet coming in for landing in San Francisco nearly hit several planes filled with passengers waiting to take off. And tonight, the e. Coli scare is growing, involving a certain kind of lettuce. This evening, word of the first death. Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a very busy wednesday night. And we do begin with the deadly crash of a military plane in georgia. Several crew members killed. The Air National Guard c130 cargo plane suddenly in a nose dive, exploding into a fireball as it crashed onto the highway, highway 21 near the savannahhilton head airport. The only part of the plane appearing left intact is the tail section. Investigators racing to the scene of the crash to try to figure out what caused this, and Abcs Steve Osunsami leads us off tonight from the scene. Reporter this was view from a surveillance camera today, as a military c130 fell out of the georgia sky, nosedived into the ground and burst into ball of flames and smoke. There was a military jet crash across both lanes of the road. Black smoke. Reporter the massive cargo plane missed crashing into the Savannah International airport. Holy [ bleep ]. All right. Time to get out of here. Reporter it came down over busy roads and trained tracks nearby, knocking out power to the area. As far as we know, there were no cars hit in this crash. It is an absolute miracle at that time of day at that intersection. Reporter no drivers on the ground were hurt, but there were several Service Members onboard. And tonight, the air force confirms that at least five are dead. They were on their way to arizona. Any time we lose any of our brothers and sisters in arms, its devastating, and something we never like to have happen. Reporter roads in and around the savannah airport are still closed tonight, and could be closed for weeks, as military investigators try to figure out what went wrong. Because a four engineer plane dropped out of the sky on a bright, blue sunny day, theyre going to be looking at mechanical problems. This is a real mystery that something so reliable could have had such a catastrophic ending. Reporter the plane belongs to the puerto rican National Guard and was a lifeline to the caribbean during last years devastating hurricane season, delivering food and generators to families in need.

Reporter thats right, david. Theyre going to work on that tonight. And just to give you a sense of the lay of the land, behind me is the crash site. To my right is a gas station.

Steve, thank you. Another major story tonight involving a plane, this time, a passenger jet end and a major scare midflight. It was a southwest jet flying from chicago to newark, when a passenger window suddenly cracked.

Heres abcs linzie janis. Reporter tonight, another scare on a southwest flight. Passengers terrified after this window cracked midair. There was a loud pop. Something cracked the win doeshgs and it was cracked through. Reporter flight number 957 took off from chicagos Midway Airport for newark just after 9 00 a. M. But less than an hour later, the pilot diverting to cleveland, ohio. The crack on the outer window pane not deep enough to cause depressurization inside the plane. This is what we call a precautionary emergency. In other words, its not an immediate threat, because theres no loss of cabin pressurization. But any time if you have any part of the airplane compromised, including a window, you want to get down as soon as you reasonably can. Reporter the 737 and its 76 passengers landing safely. Everybody breathe, we are almost there. Reporter just two weeks after passenger Jennifer Riordan was nearly sucked out of a similar southwest plane after shrapnel from an engine busted through the window next to her.

Pa pane. About linzie janis joining us tonight. Southwest says the window was n inspected last month, linzie . Reporter thats right, david.

Linzie, thank you. And there is new video just coming in tonight, the first time its been seen, from after the las vegas massacre.

Reporter the new video shows the s. W. A. T. Team in the hallway outside the snipers room. No sense of what theyll find when they blow down the door. Breach, breach, breach. Reporter that deafening explosion. One officers body camera then revealing the moment he spots Stephen Paddocks own surveillance camera hidden on the service cart. Looks like there might be a camera of some sort. Reporter the officers gingerly somewhering the hotel suite. With you, with you. Reporter of the deadliest mass shooter in u. S. History. The team surveying the scene, those high powered rifles resting on a chair. 23 guns ultimately found. Thousands of rounds of ammunition. By the time the officers arrived at the 32nd floor, creeping down the hallway, dripping with sweat, going low behind their shields okay, everyone take a deep breath. Reporter paddock was already dead. Hed shot himself after he gunned down 58 innocent people and wounded hundreds at the concert playing out down below. And matt gutman who has been on this story from the start, with us live again tonight. And we know much more body cam footage is about to be released . Reporter thats right, david. What we saw tonight were the first three hours of it. And whats most striking is how much time elapses. We see those officers going floor to floor, sometimes they breach the wrong rooms. And throughout this process, more than six months after the shooting, we still do not have a final police report, no timeline, no Firm Understanding of why Stephen Paddock did this. David . Matt gutman tonight, thank you. Now to the showdown tonight between President Trump and the special counsel, robert mueller. Mueller is now threatening a subpoena if the president is unwilling to answer questions in the russia investigation. And tonight, white house lawyer ty cobb announcing hes retiring at the end of the month. Heres abcs chief White House Correspondent jonathan karl. Reporter when we first asked, the president was adamant. Hed be more than happy to talk to special counsel robert mueller. Would you be willing to speak under oath to give your version of those events . 100 . Reporter but now, nearly a year later, a tense standoff. So tense, abc news has confirmed mueller told the president s lawyers he could compel the president to testify. Raising the possibility of a subpoena. John dowd, until recently the president s lead lawyer, tells abc news he fired back, respond, quote, this isnt some game. You are screwing with the work of the president of the united states. Dowd has since left the president s legal taerjs and tod today, another shakeup. Out, ty cobb, the lead white house lawyer dealing with the special counsel, replaced by emmet flood, who was one of president clintons impeachment lawyers. Cobb tells me he was ready to leave. Almost everything that i was brought on to do has been accomplished. Reporter cobb had employed a strategy of patience with mueller. Youve been preaching cooperation, is that going to change . Cooperation was definitely the right move and definitely the path that would lead to the quickest resolution. So, i hope that theyre able to work something out. Reporter today, rudy giuliani, who is leading the negotiations with mueller, says whether a president ial interview happens depends largely on the special counsel. Do they have an open mind to the fact that he may be telling the truth and comey may be lying . If they have an open mind to that, then this is something we would consider. If they dont, we would be foolish to have him be interviewed. Reporter giuliani told the Washington Post today that any interview must be limited in scope. Max, two to three hours around a narrow set of questions. So, lets bring in jon karl, live from the white house tonight. And jon, President Trump now threatening to get involved with the Justice Department if they dont provide republicans with documents theyre demanding in congress, saying this is a rigged system. But jon, bottom line, in the showdown with mueller tonight, even if the president is subpoenaed, does he have to answer those questions . Reporter well, he could fight that subpoena, david. Its a fight that would almost certainly go all the way to the supreme court, and it would be a tough one to win. When Richard Nixon tried to fight the subpoena for his oval office tapes, he lost at the supreme court, 90, so, for now, the president s legal team is trying to narrow the time and the scope of any interview, and david, they are also demanding to know the questions in advance. Jon karl tonight. Jon, thank you, as always. Now, to the severe storm threat at this hour, from texas all the way to wisconsin. Severe thunderstorm and tornado watches across several states tonight.

He wrote it himself and me, from where i come from, the end of it was just black humor. It wasnt meant to be a serious comment. Reporter when dr. Harold bornstein released the letter, some were quick to note the doctor seemed to echo trump himself, and its not the only time one of President Trumps doctors has sounded like his patient. When trump released dr. Bornsteins letter, the thencandidate wrote, i am fortunate to have been blessed with great genes. Dr. Ronny jackson, who until days ago served as the president s personal physician, used that same phrase, great genes, when discussing his physical. Some people have, you know, just great genes. You know, i told the president that if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years, he might live to be 200 years old, i dont know. Reporter the president nominated jackson to run the v. A. , but amid reports of heavy drinking on the job and giving out prescription sleep aids, jackson withdrew. Jackson is now facing an inquiry by the pentagon. As for dr. Bornstein, he also claims his office was raided by trump staffers who were seizing the president s medical records. Now, a spokesperson for a Trump Organization lawyer who was here when it went down, says that the handoff was cordial, peaceful and it was polite, and that dr. Bornstein voluntarily handed over those documents. David . All right, tom llamas with us again tonight. Tom, thank you.
