World record as Michael Phelps adds another gold to his record tally. Number 19. And team usa dominating on the bars and the beam. The best ive seen her do it. Now simone biles leading the charge for dmror ray. Hi, im simone biles, good morning, america. Can she become the first woman ever to win five gold medals at a single olympics . Were live in rio for all the action. And good morning, america. Hope hyou had a good weekend. What a start for the amerans. Team usa taking home two gold medals. Amy with the latest from the olympics including the moment everybody is talking about, this swimmer making quite a statement about the russian doping scandal. Yeah, a lot to get into. But first that breaking news, lta flights grounded worldwide overnight. Some frustrated travelers sharing these photos of some now saying, there you see it right there, that the delays are due to a global computer outage. Abcs david kerley is at Reagan National airport with the latest. Good morning, david. Reporter the latest and the long line, george. Tens of thousands of passengers are being affected. Heres just one line national airport, Reagan National airport. The line here, no delta jets are taking off. This computer outage started overnight. It is continuing at this hour. If a delta jet is in will continue and land but nothing is taking off from the ground. There was a passenger in sacramento who sent us an audio file of the pilot explaining what happened overnight. Back in our Operations Control Center in atlanta, a huge room, the center of the whole operation, their computers are down and if youve been trying to call and get rebooked or call the diamond desk or anything, it looks like everybody is in the same boat. Reporter delta says in a travelers to check the status of their flights this morning while the issue is being addressed. But there is no solution so far. Delta now joins the other major carriers that have been hit by computer shutdowns. A year ago united had nearly 5,000 flights affected. Just last month southwest canceled 2300 flights. This looks like it could be a lot worse, george. It is morning, it is rush, it is monday and no delta jets are taking off around the globe. Yeah, and, david, i think most of us kind of failsafe mechanism in place but this is affecting every flight all over the world. How could that be . Reporter yeah, delta is not being specific exactly what happened with their Computer System but all this information is critical to pilots. They need to know weather data, how many people theyre carrying, dispatchers have to know weights. All these things are reliant on computers. A system goes down, youre not flying. Ripple effects everywhere. David kerley, thanks very much. We turn to that tragic park. A 10yearold boy killed in kansas on what is deemed the tallest water slide in the world. The park closed this morning as investigators try to determine what went wrong. Abcs alex perez is in kansas city with the latest. Good morning, to you, alex. Reporter good morning, lara. It was a Beautiful Day here at the park. Packed with families when something went terribly wrong. This morning, authorities investigating what went tragically wrong at this popular kansas city water park. The mother was hes not moving. Thats my boy. Reporter abc news learning the 10yearold son of kansas state representative scott schwab died while riding whats known as the tallest water slide in the world here at the schlitterbahn water park. Schwab telling abc news overnight since the day caleb was born he brought abundant joy to our family. We are comforted knowing he believed in our savior jesus and they are forever together now. We will see him another day. It still brought tears to my that im sure they felt was safe. Reporter this morning while the city grieves investigators are remaining tightlipped not releasing any details of what happened sunday at the kansas park. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Reporter this is what the ride called verruckt german for insane looks like from the top standing at 168 feet high its taller than the statue of liberty and plummets its thrill seekers a jawdropping 17 stories in just seconds. Tubers hitting speeds of nearly 70 miles per hour. Commercials for the ride even asking the question are you insane . Reporter the slide requires a minimum inches of 53 inches and two to three riders have to be in a raft with a total weight of at least 400 pounds. Sliders had to be at least 14 when the ride opened. That has since changed but before it opened many raised early safety tests showing sandbag dummies flying off the slide. The rides opening delayed at least three times while the park reworked it adding seat belts and safety netting. Quite possibly this incident is not going to be a result of a mechanical issue, more possibly a result of an human error. Reporter and the park will be closed today as a team of investigators works to figure here. Thanks, alex. Joined now by the president and ceo of the National Safety council, deborah hersman. Thanks for joining us. So many question raised by this accident. The company had taken many steps to put in Safety Measures before the ride opened. But what kind of questions are you asking right now . Whats on top of your mind . You know, i think first really is to let that investigation play out. Its good that theyve closed the park but we really want to understand what happened here they need to do the investigation thoroughly and properly will give us a lot more answers. They added seat belts. They added safety netting. They had weight requirements. So is this more likely human error . You know, i think its really too early to tell. We really dont know what happened. Very tragic event here. People come to parks, water parks, amusement parks hoping to have fun but they certainly expect a safe ride so we want to make s to a park that they do follow the height, weight and age restrictions, that they dont try to loosen up the restraints and definitely if youre going to a water park make sure you know how to swim. Have we had many problems with water park as cross the country . You know, the good news is we dont see fatalities. Theyre so rare but we do see injury, but theyre also very infrequent. We know that some of the places making sure that when youre around pools, if you dont know how to swim, parents, you want to make sure that youve got a close eye, close hand on your children. We see some injuries occur in pools every year and we see people die because of drowning. But certainly some serious injuries can occur on places like slides and so whether humans are involved or whether its equipment, you really want to be careful. We see head, neck and back injuries on slides. This ride was are park operators taking these too far . You know, i think, you know, the question really is, is the ride safe . And if the ride is safe, we want to make sure that everyone who rides the ride is safe. And so taking the precautions that we need, if there are changes that need to be made im sure this park will be looking closely at that. But ultimate theres also some responsibility for local and state authorities to take a look everything is safe every time. Okay, deborah hersman, thanks for joining us this morning. Thank you. So lots of questions to be answered but, boy, our hearts go out to that family. Absolutely. So important to think about those things she said. We move on now to the race for the white house and donald trump struggling to get back on track after a tough poll number. Our new poll Shows Hillary clinton with an eightpoint lead as trump steps up his attack. Abcs tom llamas tracking it all for us. Good morning, tom. Morning to you. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton will be showcasing different economic plans this week as trump is using clintons own words against her. This morning, as some wonder if Trumps Campaign is coming unhinged, the republican nominee lobbing that same attack on Hillary Clinton. She is a totally unhinged person. Shes unbalanced. Honestly, i dont think shes all there. Reporter trump seizing on this statement clinton made discussing her email server. So i may have shortcircuited that and for that i, you know, will try to clarify. Reporter the Trump Campaign posting this on social media portraying clchts as a robot. I may have shortcircuited it. Reporter and trump having a field day with that shortcircuit comment. She took a shortcircuit in the brain and shes got problems. I mean, if we had real people, this would be a real problem for her. But i think that the people of this country dont want somebody that is going to shortcircuit up here. Okay. Not as your president. Reporter trumps new attacks come on the heels of new polls that show him in a summer slump. Our abc News Washington post poll showing many voters worried about trump. Twothirds say he has the wrong temperament. Almost as many say hes a point former cia director mike morrell made on this week in regards to trumps relationship with russian leader vladimir putin. For mr. Trumps perspective, right, he simply heard putin compliment him. He then responded by complimenting him. He never thought that he might be being played. Reporter trump firing back on twitter calling morell, a man who has made some serious bad calls and a total clinton flunky. And today unveil his economic plan. We have a preview. Here are some highlights. Trumps want to repeal and replace obamacare and limit taxation of business, all businesses to 15 and stop all payments using tax dollars to the u. N. Global warming programs and also exclude child care expenses from taxation. Now, the Clinton Campaign is already calling this tru trumponomics saying if he wins, you lose. Thanks very much. Matt, trump clearly digging out of a whole but what hes trying today, an economic speech, Biggest Issue focused on jobs and trying to consolidate republicans with a lot of ideas that have been republican orthodoxy for a long time. Yeah, i mean i think hes much better arguing on the ground of the Economic Situation in the country today instead of this argument around the shortcircuited situation. If i were donald trump i would not get into an argument about mental stability. Its not a ground very good for him in this. Hes much better off on this but in this speech he has to do the equivalent of jim furyks 58 yesterday which was an amazing situation set the alltime record, in order to break this pattern, hes going to have to hit it out of the park. Out of the park and one speech alone isnt going to do it. The question is can he stay on message for a consistent series of days and weeks . At the same time, youre saying, you know, as we look at our poll. There is an eightpoint lead for abc Washington Post poll in the fourway race and youre paying attention to the fourway race. You think over time those the Green Party Candidate and gary johnson, the libertarian candidate can have an impact. Yeah, i think unlike years past, you know, where the third or fourth party dwindle as they get closer to election day i actually think theyre going to rise as we get closer to election day. I think because of the dissatisfaction as we see in the abc poll with both Major Party Candidates and the fact theyre both unliked and means theres an opportunity for gary johnson and to a degree jill stein to grow their support. The question, george, is can they get enough support to get in that debate, that first debate in september . I think its unlikely but thats really the threshold they need to beat which is 15 . It worked for ross perot back in 199. Finally, Hillary Clinton stepped in it again over the weekend with those new comments about the email server. How does she hold on, consolidate the lead she now has . Dont go on the air. Has done in the course of this is let donald trump occupy the media landscape which hes consistently done and consistently made mistakes and as shes disappeared her poll numbers rise and that is pretty consistent over the last eight years. As she goes off the media platform her numbers rise so if i were her cede to donald trump and let him do what hes doing. Go to the states. Local media strategy, matt dowd, thanks very much. Never a dull moment. Same thing in rio where americas olympians are hitting th gold medals in spectacular fashion and showing no signs of slowing down. Amy is live in rio with all the latest.
