trees down, power outages, and more wind coming. more than 50 million americans in the northeast under wind alerts at this hour. washington, d.c., new york city, and boston all in the path. more than 4,000 flights canceled or delayed. and take a look at this map. these high wind numbers across the northeast, gusts between 40 and 50 miles an hour. the winds uprooting a massive tree in brooklyn, new york, crushing a car near prospect park. this home in carlisle, pennsylvania destroyed by a fallen tree, killing a person who was trapped inside. these winds are the tail end of a system that slammed the east over the weekend. an ef-2 tornado, winds 130 miles an hour, ripping through brantley county, georgia, about 40 miles west of brunswick. onshore winds flooding areas along the east coast. this is hampton, new hampshire, one of those areas under water tonight. a coast guard crew braving rough waters -- this is off bass harbor, maine -- rushing a patient to emergency care. this is not done yet, so, let's get right to senior meteorologist rob marciano, timing it out for us. hey, rob. >> reporter: hi, david. this thing really wound up in a

hurry yesterday. continued to strengthen today, and seemingly in no hurry to get out to sea. the low remains over nova scotia. we've got wind advisories most of which will remain up through the midnight hour. and that low will continue to wraparound winds well towards daybreak tomorrow. 30, 40-mile-per-hour winds will continue, and we'll still be windy in the morning. the ground saturated still, so, you'll probably see more in the way of trees coming down. a little bit on the dicey side. still windy in the midwest, as well. down to the texas panhandle, where they had that massive texas fire, the biggest in history there. red flag warnings are up tomorrow. and we'll likely see critical fire danger through much of the week. here in the east, next four to eight hours could be on the dangerous side. david? >> david: we appreciate the warning. rob marciano leading us off here. rob, thank you. we turn now to that horrific crash. there is news coming in tonight of an awful crash, a collision between a school bus and a tractor trailer. both vehicles erupting into flames. both drivers were killed, along with three children on that bus. abc's alex presha tonight with what authorities have just now revealed. >> reporter: tonight, a horrific

crash scene along this illinois highway, after a semi-truck collided with a school bus, killing five people, including all three preschool-aged children onboard. >> route 24, in front of scripps park, school bus/semi accident. at least one vehicle on fire. >> reporter: it happened 60 miles west of springfield. police say just after 11:30 this morning, the bus crossed the line into oncoming traffic and then into the path of that truck hauling sand. >> the bus was traveling west on route 24, and for an unknown reason, crossed over into the eastbound lanes in front of the semi-truck. both vehicles became engulfed in flames. >> reporter: both drivers were also killed. the school bus, seen here, barely recognizable. >> when you have loss of life like this, it's devastating. it's quite a tragedy. >> reporter: david, tonight, authorities were asked if drugs or alcohol played a role in this crash. frankly, they can't answer that yet. this investigation is just getting started. david? >> david: we're thinking about those families tonight. alex, thank you. now, to the terrifying

midair scare on a boeing passenger jet. the sudden drop onboard the boeing 787 dreamliner. some passengers thrown in the cabin. at least 50 passengers and crew were injured in this. the flight from australia to new zealand. tonight here, the images, and just a short time ago, the airline calling it a technical incident. here's trevor ault. >> reporter: tonight, video circulating online capturing the terror aboard a latam airlines flight, after passengers and crew were sent flying to the ceiling. >> it felt more like an earthquake rather than turbulence, but it was just like the worst form of turbulence. >> reporter: more than halfway through the three-hour trip from sydney, australia, to auckland, new zealand, passengers saying flight la-800 seemed to suddenly drop. many of the 272 onboard tossed around the cabin of the boeing 787 dreamliner. >> i saw cut heads, a few neck

braces being applied, people being patched up with cuts and bruises. >> reporter: at least 50 passengers and crew needing treatment for injuries. more than a dozen taken to the hospital. lucas ellwood and others helping this seriously injured person in the aisle. >> oh, everyone was terrified. there were people whimpering all over. there were people injured all over. >> reporter: the aircraft landing safely in auckland. and tonight, the chilean-based airline saying it "deeply regrets any inconvenience and discomfort this situation may have caused," saying the aircraft experienced a strong shake that's now under investigation. >> the good news is that the black boxes will very quickly determine whether this was an aircraft malfunction or just clear air turbulence. >> reporter: and david, while the airline has referred to this as a technical incident, they have not specified what exactly went wrong here. david? >> david: yeah, that's the question, what does that mean? trevor ault tonight. trevor, thank you. we turn tonight to the stark warning on capitol hill today. america's top intelligence officials warning of the most

troubling global threats right now, and the list was long. china and the potential influence over the u.s. election. the warning about ukraine, if the u.s. does not help, where russia is now getting its weapons. and the danger here in the u.s. on our own border. here's pierre thomas. >> reporter: tonight, the nation's top intelligence officials warning the u.s. faces unprecedented threats internationally and here at home. concerns that adversaries like china and russia might try to use the emerging technology of artificial intelligence against the u.s. in the upcoming presidential election. >> the threat of malign actors exploiting these tools and technologies to undercut u.s. interests in democracy is particularly potent, as voters go to the poll in more than 60 elections around the globe. >> reporter: the fbi concerned about the potential that terrorists and others might try to come through a porous southern border. >> whole host of threats that emanate from the border. some of them are criminal threats. we talked about fentanyl and violence.

and then, of course, we have concerns that it could be a vulnerability that terrorist organizations could seek to exploit. >> reporter: and tonight, the blunt assessment that ukraine faces a critical window. >> ukraine's retreat, their struggle to stave off further territorial losses in the past few weeks have exposed the erosion of ukraine's military capabilities with the declining availability of external military aid. and without that assistance, it is hard to imagine how ukraine will be able to maintain the extremely hard-fought advances it has made against the russians, especially given the sustained surge in russian ammunition production and purchases from north korea and iran. >> reporter: and david, tonight, the fbi director continues to warn that the terror threat is, quote, at a whole other level, and with the war still raging in gaza, nothing has changed to diminish his concerns. david? >> david: that list was extensive today. pierre, thank you. now, to the race for the white house tonight. what former president trump said just this morning about government entitlement programs,

including social security. president biden on the campaign trail in new hampshire pouncing. here's rachel scott. >> reporter: tonight, the stark difference between the two candidates on full display. president biden seizing on new comments by donald trump. the former president seeming to suggest he would be open to cutting entitlements like social security and medicare. >> there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting, and in terms of also the theft and the bad management of entitlements, tremendous, bad management of entitlements. there's tremendous amounts of things, numbers of things you can do. >> reporter: biden tweeting out trump's comments with these words -- "not on my watch." hitting him again on a campaign swing in new hampshire. >> donald trump said cuts to social security, medicare, are on the table again. i'm never going to allow that to happen. >> reporter: biden today unveiling his budget wish list. a $7.3 trillion plan highlighting his priorities for voters.

it includes $4.7 billion for border security and a host of programs to help the middle class, including a $2,600 child tax credit. a new tax credit for first-time home buyers. and lowering the cost of prescription drugs, including insulin. to pay for it all, biden wants to raise taxes on corporations and impose a 25% minimum tax on people worth more than $100 million. the president again drawing a sharp contrast with donald trump. >> do you really think the wealthy and big corporations need another $2 trillion tax breaks? because that's what he wants to do. >> reporter: biden pledging that nobody who earns less than $400,000 will see their taxes go up. >> nobody -- not a single cent -- nobody will pay a single penny more, and they haven't thus far. folks, it's about fundamental fairness. >> reporter: david, back to medicare and social security. donald trump saying today, there's a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting. now, his campaign says what he was talking about was cutting waste, not the programs themselves. david? >> david: rachel scott tonight.

rachel, thank you. this evening, the alarming images coming in from haiti. the u.s. military evacuating some american personnel before the sun came up over the weekend. tonight here, abc's matt rivers, who has reported extensively on haiti for us, with the troubling images now coming in. >> reporter: tonight, a gang-led rebellion putting haiti on the brink of collapse. this elderly woman shot in the leg, desperate for help. and with the u.s. military helicoptering nonessential personnel out of the u.s. embassy under the cover of darkness early sunday, secretary of state antony blinken traveling to jamaica tonight for an emergency meeting with caribbean leaders. it comes after coordinated gang attacks to overthrow the government of acting prime minister ariel henri. the man behind it all, a warlord called barbecue, demanding the acting prime minister step down. we spoke to him over the weekend. if ariel henry resigns, will you stop fighting?

[ speaking in a non-english language ] "indeed," he says. "if henry resigns, we will automatically stop the attacks." over the past year, we have reported on the growing unrest, and it has become increasingly difficult to get in, witnessing one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. so, a nurse just weighed marvens here using this scale, he's about 9 kilos, or 20 pounds. he's 4 years old, and yet he weighs the exact same amount as my son, who is only 10 months old. growing fears the situation will only get worse, with no end in sight to the violence. david, the u.s. pushing prime minister henry to cede power to a transition council that would bring new elections to haiti, but so far, henri refusing to resign. david? >> david: all right, matt rivers from mexico city tonight. matt, thank you. to london now and to the royal photo of princess catherine and her children, suddenly recalled by photo agencies after they found the image had been doctored. princess kate then apologizing, but tonight, buckingham palace still not releasing the original image, leading to even more questions about princess catherine and how she's doing

after that sudden surgery. james longman from london tonight. >> reporter: this royal family photo was meant to calm speculation about the princess of wales' health. tonight, that speculation in overdrive after kate admitted she doctored the image. the princess of wales herself writing, "like many amateur photographers, i do occasionally experiment with editing. i wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused." conspiracy theories have run rampant online in the wake of kate's absence from public life, after she underwent what the palace called planned abdominal surgery in january. she hadn't been seen publicly since christmas, until this paparazzi photo emerged last week, kate and her mother at windsor. the palace says this new photo, released to celebrate mother's day in the uk, was taken last week by prince william at their home. >> they've now obviously put that photograph out to try to quell the speculation. >> reporter: leading international photo agencies pulling it from their websites. an afp analysis pointing out clear inconsistencies.

perhaps the most glaring, princess charlotte's left hand and sleeve partly erased. charlotte's skirt waistband and hair at odd angles. as is the zipper on kate's jacket. it doesn't appear to line up. kate, by far the u.k.'s most popular royal, was seen leaving windsor castle today for a private appointment, in the car with her husband. prince william later attending a major event without her. some observers think one way for the palace to resolve this would be to release the original photograph, but tonight, david, they're saying they will not do that, and no further update on kate's health. david? >> david: let's just hope she's okay. james longman tonight. james, thank you. now to the tensions between israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and president biden, after biden discussed what would be a red line for him. matt gutman from israel. >> reporter: tonight, a growing rift between president biden and israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, after the president seemingly said an invasion into rafah in the southern part of the gaza strip would be his red line. >> it is a red line.

but i'm never going to leave israel. he cannot have 30,000 more palestinians dead as a consequence. >> reporter: moments later, walking those comments back, saying netanyahu's war was hurting israel more than helping. for weeks, the white house has publicly urged israel not to invade rafah, where hamas' remaining leaders and battalions are believed to be hiding among civilians, without a plan to protect the more than a million displaced gazans there. netanyahu defiant, vowing to press on, despite the president's concerns. >> i have a red line. you know what the red line is? that october 7th doesn't happen again. >> reporter: the leaders trading barbs, as the holy month of ramadan begins. and as famine sets in, according to the u.n., dozens, mostly children, have died from malnutrition. some like 12-year-old muhammad clinging to life with severe dehydration and malnutrition. david, you'll recall after the president's state of the union address last week, he was caught off-mic saying he'd have a, quote, come to jesus talk with israel's prime minister netanyahu. today, he said he hasn't yet had

that conversation but left the option on the table. david? >> all right, matt, thank you. when we come back, here in the u.s. tonight, a boater attacked by a crocodile, airlifted to the hospital. there's word of his condition coming in. caitlin clark and her new triumph tonight. and the oscars, and what we didn't know about ken's song.
