sunday." captions by closed captioning services >> "fox news sunday" is a presentation of fox news. >> harris: breaking news tonight from las vegas. the racing world brought to a stand still at this hour. as indycar driver dan weldon was injured and has now died. it happened during the indy 300. here is what people saw as his car and 14 others wrecked. it has been a few hours and dan wheldon had been in the hands of 20 doctors and a whole lot of prayers. i'm harris faulkner. we are live as fox reports tonight. and working the story for us. our casey stegall from our west coast bureau. casey, how did this happen? >> harris, we know that this is a dangerous sport. the people involved know that this is a dangerous sport. how did this happen? >> well, it looks like it is just what we're calling it, an accident, a very unfortunate

accident in las vegas this afternoon. you know, even seasoned race car drivers say they have never quite seen an accident this bad. 15 cars involved. look at those pictures. some of the cars erupting into fireballs. danica patrick is the first woman to win one of these indy races and she describes the scene as something out of a movie. this happening a little after 1:00 this afternoon at las vegas motor speedway during the indy 300 race. a chain reaction wreck as one of the drivers lost control of his car exiting the second turn on lap 12. you can see that the cars then started sliding into the retaining wall. some of them going airborne. eyewitnesses say one of those vehicles flying right over wheldon's car, number 77, shearing the roof off. look at all the debris from still photographs.

a team of more than 20 doctors worked on dan wheldon once he was pulled out of that wreckage. then the 33-year-old british driver and former two time winner of the indianapolis 500 was air lifted to the university medical center in las vegas where he later died as a result of his injuries. the indy cars traveling at speeds of more than 220 miles per hour during practice just to give you an idea of how fast those things go. and we're hearing from some of the drivers that they had expressed concern about those speeds on this particular speedway. wheld done by the way had to start at the back of the field in this race as part of a special promotion, but he had quickly worked his way through the 34 car field. he was racing for a 5-million-dollar bonus. now, 3 other drivers were also hurt. will power, j.r. hill did he

brand and pippa man. they were all transported by ground ambulance. they are said to be alert but the extent of their injuries not clear. obviously this news had many of the other drivers and staff out there absolutely shaken to the core. a special meeting was called where they received this word. most of them were seen then leaving crying. many of them were comforted right out on the racetrack there. wheldon was just married in 2008 and is survived by two young children. harris, they lived in florida. and just absolutely devastating to the racing world today. >> harris: you know, casey, he raised with the andretti team. i was actually watching the race tonight. to see those drivers weeping and then get into their cars for a memorial lap was just very touching. casey stegall with all the information on how the crash happened. thank you very much. let's learn more about about dan wheldon a premier name in indy

racing. steve shared joining us with more information on this racer. first of all i want to ask you about the other racers that happened in that meeting. when they came out, pete, you could see on their faces that something had happened that they knew more than the rest of us. >> yeah, the ceo of indycar randy bernard came out and said what happened. we lost one of the sports legends right now. wheldon he survived a family. wife he married in 2008 and two young children youngest son born in march of this year. it's a horrible story. he was one of the beloved racers of the indy car circuit. auto sports in general. wheldon worked as a broadcaster on the versus network. american fans were becoming fond of him as a popular voice of the sport. horrible tragedy, as casey said there were serious concerns about this course. 34 cars on the track, more than usual. the oval of 105-mile, it's just very, very conducive to accidents. there is going to be a lot of

answers to be had after this and really a sad day we lose one of sport's great legends. >> we were talking and watching this as it played out, it's only been a couple of hours ago now. you and i were talking in the newsroom about this race and you watched him hit the fence line here. for those of us who have been to races like, this you question kind of the way that this is shaped, an obstacle sticking out like that. tell me about this course. >> the course is a 1.5-mile oval. if you look at typical nascar race huge oval, a lot of space to roam. they think it's going to be a thrill a minute indycar in auto racing in general you want those thrills. this though was such a tight course that wall so close and the fence so close you are getting a thrill a minute but this is the possibility we have with this and going to be a lot of criticism after this. 34 cars on this track is a lot. you have a crash like this where 15 different cars are affected, and, again, we lose dan wheldon

who was, again, one of the most beloved athletes in the sport. >> harris: the announcement that the race had been completely cancelled, how rare is that? >> very rare. very rare. they came on and did the five lap tribute. like casey said, racers with tears in heir eyes trying to hold it together for this in honor of wheldon. very rare and you don't like seeing this ever obviously. we'll see what happens with the sport now. there is a lot of changes going on. danica patrick is going to nascar now. she was the sport's biggest star, wheldon was right up there. a lot of questions to be answered for indycar at the moment. but on a more personal and more real life level, again, you hate losing anyone and this is one of the stars of the sport. >> harris: yeah. 33 years old. peter, as we watched the story unfold in just the last couple of hours, we learned that there were so many doctors who were working on him and that others and we reported through casey stegall's reporting tonight had been injured, too. what you can tell me about some of the injuries that have been

sustained by some of the other drivers. >> it seems like the other drivers are going to be okay. there was dizziness. there was back pain. they went to the hospital as well. three drivers specifically. but the word was that there was over 20 doctors working on wheldon. these other drivers are going to survive. they are going to live to see the next day, you lose weldon here, this is the major story, horrible tragedy in sports today. >> danica patrick describing it as a movie that had played out. you see all the emergency response teams moving on to the track right now. with you been to these races. what is happening at this point? how wide is this track? how are they moving into place to get to these people who were injured. >> they did everything they could. they air lifted wheldon out. the emergency response team got there. the question is now, you know, the safety of these type of courses. are we going to see these ever used again. so tight, so small, so compact with some cars. again, the concerns were there. there were comments throughout the week with drivers saying we're not so sure we are going

220 miles during practice which is far faster than they usually go. we have concerns. the race occurred and, yeah, casey mentioned, dan wheldon could have won $5 million at this race. a gimmick went in worst from first where he started, indycar was trying to make this as interesting as possible. trying to appeal to fans with fast, compact oval and the race style that 34 cars on that course, that's trouble. and, again, we lose wheldon. >> harris: all right. pete schrager fox sports.com. now atop the newscast with us as we have learned that dan wheldon, premier i didn't understand race car driver has passed away in just the last little while from injuries that he suffered at the indy 300 in las vegas. we'll take a moment and pause.

>> harris: moving on to other news, brand new threats from iran today as members of the white house say the rogue nation was behind a plot to conduct deadly attacks on u.s. soil. iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad today denying those accusations and saying iran is a terror-free nation. >> terrorism is the active nation that don't have any culture. iranian nation has a rich culture and pioneer of civilization. it it does not need acts of terror. >> harris: new reaction of khomeini. he warns iran will react to any outward threats to the united states. you will recall earlier this weaker the justice department had announced the arrest of this former used car salesman. he and members of iran's army facing charges tried arranging with a mexican drug cartel to kill the saudi ambassador to the u.s. and blow up embassies in washington, d.c. and argentina. president obama saying the rogue

nation has to, quote, pay a price. our peter doocy with the news from washington. >> the "new york times" is reporting that to further isolate iran, president obama wants the u.n. to release classified intel proving once and for all they are experimenting with nuclear weapons, something experts say would not be good. >> everything that's wrong with iran today, the world's largest financier of international terrorism, for example, gets infinitely worse once they get nuclear weapons and they are very close to that point. >> the chair of the senate intel committee said this morning that this might be a smart move by the administration because sanctions for whatever reason don't appear to be the right way to go. >> i don't think the sanctions have been as complete as they must -- as they should be. i wish they had sanctioned the central bank of iran. and that would effect oil and maybe that's why they didn't do it. but that makes a big difference. >> she says oil might be part of

the equation and this "new york times" article says another variable are inspections. they say the head of the international atomic energy agency has thought about going public with this explosive intel before but never did because he didn't want his inspectors to be banned from iran in any case the administration has made clear that in the wake of the terror plot allegedly planned by their government isolation is important. >> this president has been very focused on. holding up iranian behavior so it is clearly seen by other nations around the world our international partners to isolate and put pressure in a way that has never before. >> "new york times" report says another reason the administration is pushing for this to go public they think after we were wrong about wmd's in iraq in 2003 our credibility might be shot. harris? >> harris: peter doocy thank you very much. this development tonight,

uganda's president speaking out over u.s. military troops being sent to his country. the president clarifying it's better to call them personnel not troops adding it was wrong sending u.s. troops to fight the lord's resistance army or lra or guerrilla group. instead, americans will be gathering intelligence. president obama announcing friday he is dispatching about 100 u.s. special op. forces to africa to advise in the fight against joseph coney. and the sports world now to revisit our top story in case you are just tuning in. the sports world losing one of its premier race car drivers. the scene, las vegas, just a couple of hours ago. indy 500 champion dan wheldon has died from the injuries he suffered diswiewrg this massive 15 car crash. this happened during the 13th lap of the indy 300. we are updating you as we get new information on it. dr. martin luther king jr.

mall because he saw what we might become. that is why dr. king was so quintessentially american because for all the hardships we have endured, for all our sometimes tragic history ours is a story of optimism and achievement. >> our kelly wright was at today's ceremony. he joins us live now from washington. kelly? >> harris, good evening to you. the martin luther king jr. memorial is the first built on the national mall as you mentioned in honor of a black man and a person who is not a president. the statute sits a short distance from where dr. king made history. in 1963 when he challenged america to end racial injustice during his famous "i have a dream" speech. 48 years after his famous speech now thousands gathered right there at the mall to celebrate the life, dream and legacy of dr. martin luther king jr.

>> aretha franklin that you are listening to right there she moved the crowd singing the song precious lord take my hand one of dr. king's favorite songs. dr. king honored their father issuing a challenge to all to fulfill king's dream for brotherhood. >> we will ultimately triumph over those triple evils of poverty, racism and militarism that my father championed often. let us embrace dad's legacy. let us celebrate dad's life. more importantly, let us live as dr. king envisioned. >> it was a dedication ceremony fit for honoring a king. thousands swaying arm in arm, hand in hand, singing we shall overcome, a song that became the signature turley song of historic marches for freedom that dr. king led during the civil rights struggle. president obama praised king for stirring the conscious of america. he said more work needs to be

done, however, even during the country's current tough times. >> so with our eyes on the horizon and faith in one another, let us keep striving. let us keep struggling, let us keep climbing toward that promised land of a nation the world that is more fair and more just and more equal for every single child of god. >> dr. king talked about being a child of god as well and urging all people to realize that as such they have an obligation to form a better society, what he called a beloved society. harris? >> kelly wright, thank you very much. always good to see you. >> good to see you. >> new developments in the case now of missing baby lisa. who police are questioning as the state deploys the national guard now to help find her. stay close.

>> harris: new developments in the search for a baby who vanished nearly two weeks ago. members of the missouri national guard joining the search for lisa irwin now, she was only 10 months old when her parents reported her missing on october 4th. they say she disappeared from her crib in the middle of the night. also this weekend police searching an abandoned home after getting a call about diapers and a backpack inside. they say those items probably would not offer much in the way of evidence. >> the diapers have within there a very long time. it just doesn't fit. but, again, we're going to do everything we can to make sure that's the case. >> our julie banderas is live in our new york city newsroom with the latest on this julie? >> finding alarming but pure coincidence at this point. the diapers in that backpack found in the abandoned house had

been there actually longer than the two weeks that lisa has been missing. kansas city police were called to the home by a passer by who found the diapers and contacted authorities. >> well, as you know, we were called here because somebody found some diapers in the basement of this abandoned house. and you are going to seat crime scene vans and everybody coming out because it's the right thing to do. we are going to do it right. based on our initial observations it's nothing we are getting excited about. >> however they continue to investigate just to make sure with no promising leads so far, missouri's governor has sent about 25 members of the guard's military police who joined fbi agents and officers from several police and sheriff's departments from nearby communities in missouri and kansas. in all, nearly 100 people split up into several groups and scoured a large wooded area west of the family's home in search of evidence in her disappearance today. an anonymous donor has posted $100,000 reward for information that either leads to the safe return of baby lisa or to the conviction of anyone involved in

her disappearance. that donor has also hired a private investigator. police have arrested a homeless man by the way seen in the neighborhood on an outstanding warrant but they say he is not a suspect. they are just questioning him. the very same way they did neighbors. baby lisa was 10 months old when she was reported missing october 4th. her parents say she disappeared from her crib sometime overnight. despite the mother actually failing a lie detector test, neither parent has been named a person of interest or suspect in this case. in fact, police and federal authorities say that so far they have no suspects or major leads, and they ask anyone with information to call 911 or contact the tips hotline at 816-474-8477. that baby girl would have been 11 months old. let's hope she is still alive. >> harris: thank you very much. we will have continuing coverage of the news that is breaking tonight in las vegas. a massive wreck at the indy 300.

happening, actually. tell me what was happening just before all of this went on. was there any indication that there was a problem coming up? >> actually, there wasn't, harris. we were actually down in the pit area. my photographer and i, we were actually on the way to dan wheldon's pit. we were trying to get his first pit stop. we heard a crash. the fans there was a collective gasp out there in the crowd and then we saw the flames and the smoke rising from the other side of the track. and, you know, just dead silence out there. i mean, this was something that people had been concerned about. some of the drivers had been concerned about. they talked about how this race had too many cars, going 225 miles per hour. and there were 34 cars in this race. so there was that concern of going into this and then when we were out there, you know, we were talking with fans. it was very upbeat. people were very happy. they were excited to be out here in las vegas. very nice, beautiful day out here. and then all of a sudden this

happened. and takes a tragic turn to what should have been a great finale to the indycar series. >> harris: tell me this. what was your vantage point as this was going on? >> i was on the other side of the track. there was a lot that was in the way of my view. we did hear crashes from the other side of the track. and then as soon as we heard the crash, you could see the flames and the smoke and then everyone in the crowd just gasped. and you know we were down on the ground. everyone was trying to rush over to get a better vantage point to get a better view so-to-see what was going on on the other side of the track it was very difficult to see when you are down there in the pit area and for nascar racers that's usually an area that's sort of blocked off to most of the regular folks but for this, a lot of regular people, regular fans with regular tickets were able to get down there and were able to see the drivers in the pit, see all the pit crews so it was very crowded and very big crowd out there just trying to see what was going on.

very early on in the race this was lap 11. >> you know, matt, we are taking a look. i want to tell our viewers now. this is a live look outside the track there. his family, his wife and two young sons, they had just had a baby in march. where were they were they actually at the track? >> we're not exactly sure. we do know that they were at the university medical center after dan wheldon was air lifted. taken by helicopter to the hospital shortly after this crash happened. and the hospital is about 10 miles away from the speedway. and, you know, some of the other drivers were driven to the hospital. to see that helicopter out there was definitely shocking to a lot of the fans who were out there. so we're not exact solid sure where dan wheldon's family was at that point in time but we do know soon after this crash happened that they went right over to the hospital and we understand that they are still there right now. >> you know, matt, you live in

that area. have you covered news, no doubt, probably at this crash. tell me, this is important to this town. this is more than just the sports world mourning here. this is las vegas mourning, too. >> absolutely. you know, this is the first time that the indycar race had been in las vegas since the year 2000. so, it was very exciting, you know, las vegas obviously needs to -- people that come, in all the tourism, the casinos depends on. a lot of people were coming out here. talking to people from across different countries, ireland, new zealand, they were out here for this race. big indycar fans. so it was just, like i said before, very exciting from the very beginning. people were happy to be here. happy to see this race in las vegas and you know the indy car race just announced it's going to be coming back to las vegas this year. it had been a long drought in las vegas. so the folks were really looking forward to this race and unfortunately, no one could have

predicted this. but just a terrible end. >> you know, matt, i should tell people you mentioned some of the europeans in the audience there. dan wheldon was from britain. is he a british american. he is 33 years old. he grew up in england and had come to this country, married his wife and had decided to join the andretti racing team and was premier driver with him. alongside danica patrick one of the big names in indy racing. matt, one final question for you. they did a memorial lap. and we got to watch some of that and the drivers had been described as just teary eyed hard to get into those cars. taking a look at it now, tell me about that. >> yeah. we were right there along the side right there in the pit area seeing the drivers get in there. just under the helmet, see some with tissues coming out. obviously very teary-eyed unconsolable in some cases. going into this driver's meeting

just before they did that tribute five lap run. and they were very distraught. very upset. people could tell that something was wrong and once this tribute run started, people were walking towards the actual racetrack. one single line, everybody very quiet and then i saw somebody to the left of me walking over with two sheets of blank paper and written on it was one sheet was 77, and on the other one was we love you. so, people were very taken back by this, obviously. it was dead silent when this run was happening, this tribute to dan wheldon. >> harris: matt reporter in las vegas. we appreciate your perspective and reporting tonight. thank you, matt. >> thanks for having me. >> harris: in case you are tuning in now at the bottom of the hour, that was in las vegas, the scene today, where the sports world you heard matt just

saying this reaching beyond that to fans around the world and also touching here in the united states, the community of las vegas as one of the premier racers in indycar driving. dan wheldon has passed away after injuries he suffered in a 15-car wreck on that race. as the news warrants and more information comes in on this, of course we will bring it to you. moving on now, president obama hitting the road this week to push his jobs plan just days after republicans blocked it in the senate. but today his campaign advisor, david axelrod saying the white house will keep fighting and that he hopes the public will be on their side. >> now we're going to take it apart, going to go piece by piece. the american people support every single plank of that bill and we will vote on every single one of them. so many americans are sitting there saying act to congress. do something. >> harris: we're told president obama will make stops in north carolina and virginia over the next three days.

those states lean conservative but president obama narrowly won both of them in 2008. steve centanni with the news now from washington. steve? >> hi, harris, yeah, president obama combining policy with politics during his bus swing through virginia, new york starting tomorrow. on the political side, the president is visiting two swing states where he won in 2008 where his support is now eroding in recent polls. he made a similar trip in august a bus trip to visit important steps in the midwest. on the policy side the president is hoping to convince americans he has the best plan for creating jobs, partly through infrastructure spending, republicans have one, too which takes a different approach. >> we believe in private enterprise. we believe in small business. job creators agenda is just that. we want the president to work with us. we want him to stop the campaign ing find things in common between this plan and his. >> the so-called republics jobs bill would just allow corporate

america to write their own rules again. and it's been annualized to conclude that it would create no jobs now. there isn't even a certainty that it would create any jobs at all. no one has found any evidence that it would. >> meantime, a congressional panel facing a thanksgiving deadline to cut at least $1.2 trillion from the deficit. >> so you are confident the super committee will make a deal. >> i am. i think folks in this town on both sides of the aisle know we can't fail. there has to be success and outcome here. >> and, indeed. if the committee does not reach an agreement. huge cuts would be triggered in both domestic and defense spending. harris? >> steve centanni, thank you very much. a major milestone in the conflict in libya. dictator muammar qaddafi's compound bulldozed. antigovernment rebels tearing it down. what's being planned to go into its place. we will tell you. plus, trick or treating goes on every halloween. if the holiday follows on a school day, even better. remember those ghouling days get
