WE GO ONE ON ONE WITH THE CEO OF GENERAL MOTORS, HOW AI IS PUSHING THEIR PRODUCTION LINE INTO OVERDRIVE. THIS IS NBC NIGHTLY NEWS WITH TOM YAMAS. GOOD EVENING. GREAT TO HAVE YOU TONIGHT. WE BEGIN WITH THE FIRST LEGAL VICTORY. AGAINST ONE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PERCEIVED ENEMIES, JOHN BOLTON, ONE OF HIS STRONGEST CRITICS, NOW FACING UP TO 5 YEARS IN PRISON. AND A $2 MILLION FINE. BOLTON WAS NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER DURING TRUMP'S FIRST TERM,

THEN. BECAME A FIERCE OPPONENT OF THE PRESIDENT. NOW SOURCES TELL NBC NEWS HE PLANS TO PLEAD. GUILTY TO ONE COUNT OF RETAINING NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION. FOR A YEAR AND A HALF NOW, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN PURSUING CASES. AGAINST THE PEOPLE YOU SEE HERE, THOSE THE PRESIDENT BELIEVES HAVE WRONGED HIM. MOST EITHER FAILED TO GET AN INDICTMENT OR THROWN OUT OR STALLED. UNTIL NOW. AND WE HAVE NEW REPORTING TONIGHT ON THE MAN THE PRESIDENT. JUST ANNOUNCED. HE'LL NOMINATE TO LEAD THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT,

HIS FORMER PERSONAL ATTORNEY. TODD BLANCHE, WHO IN JUST A FEW WEEKS AS ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL. HAS ALREADY JUMPSTARTED. INVESTIGATIONS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT'S ENEMIES. GARRETT HAKE IS COVERING IT ALL FOR US TONIGHT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, AND JOHN, I WANT TO THANK TONIGHT A MAJOR REVERSAL FOR A. FORMER TOP TRUMP OFFICIAL CHARGED WITH MISHANDLING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. TWO SOURCES FAMILIAR WITH THE MATTER TELL NBC. NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER JOHN BOLTON. WILL NOW PLEAD GUILTY TO ONE COUNT OF RETAINING NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION.

IN A DEAL WITH FEDERAL PROSECUTORS. BOLTON, A FIERCE CRITIC OF THE PRESIDENT, I THINK IT IS A RETRIBUTION PRESIDENCY, WILL NOW PAY MORE THAN $2 MILLION IN RESTITUTION. AND FACES UP TO 5 YEARS IN PRISON. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD BLASTED BOLTON AFTER HIS OCTOBER INDICTMENT. I THINK HE'S A. BAD GUY. YEAH, HE'S A BAD GUY. IT'S. TOO BAD. THE PLEA DEAL MARKS THE FIRST LEGAL VICTORY. IN THE ADMINISTRATION'S MULTIFACETED CAMPAIGN AGAINST TRUMP CRITICS.

AND COMES AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCED HE'LL. NOMINATE ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL TODD BLANCHE, ONCE HIS PERSONAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY. TO BECOME THE PERMANENT AG. TODD. THAT ANNOUNCEMENT MEETING WITH STIFF OPPOSITION FROM DEMOCRATS. TODD. SHOULD NOT BE ATTORNEY GENERAL. HE IS THE PERSONAL ATTORNEY. OF THE PRESIDENT. BUT REPUBLICANS PREDICTING HE'LL MAKE IT THROUGH A CONFIRMATION BATTLE. HE'S HONEST. HE'S ETHICAL. I THINK HE'LL DO A GOOD JOB. AND AMID BIPARTISAN PUSHBACK TO HIS PICK OF HOUSING CHIEF.

BILL PULTE TO BE ACTING DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE, THE PRESIDENT SAYING TODAY THAT POSTING WILL BE TEMPORARY. IT'S NOT A PERMANENT POSITION. WE'RE LOOKING AT, WE'RE INTERVIEWING PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. GARRETT HAIG JOINS US LIVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, AND GARRETT, PRESIDENT TRUMP ALSO MAKING NEWS ON ANOTHER RENOVATION PROJECT. HE HAS GOING ON IN WASHINGTON, THIS ONE INVOLVING THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL. YEAH, TOM, THE PRESIDENT SAYS HE NEXT PLANS TO BUILD A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE WHICH HE. CALLS A PROMENADE THAT WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO WALK FROM THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL. DOWN TO THE POTOMAC RIVER.

IT WOULD CROSS OVER THOSE ROADS YOU SEE THERE BEHIND THE MEMORIAL, A MAJOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN THE HEART OF DC, AND IT COMES ON THE DAY THE PRESIDENT'S BEEN TOUTING. THE COMPLETION OF A PLAN TO REBUILD. RESEAL AND REPAINT THE REFLECTING POOL ON THE MEMORIAL'S OTHER SIDE. TOM, SEVERAL PROJECTS HAPPENING NOW. ALL RIGHT, GARRETT, WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. NOW TO THE EXPLOSIVE RACIALLY CHARGED CASE ROCKING A TEXAS COMMUNITY. A TEENAGER ON TRIAL FOR MURDER AFTER STABBING. ANOTHER TEEN AT A HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEET. RYAN CHANDLER IS THERE.

TONIGHT TENSIONS BOILING OVER OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE AS. A TEEN'S MURDER TRIAL BEGINS IN NORTH TEXAS. THE RACIALLY CHARGED TRIAL DRAWING CROWDS OUTSIDE. 19 YEAR OLD CARMELO ANTHONY PLEADING NOT. GUILTY TO MURDER AFTER FATALLY STABBING SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD. AUSTIN METCALF IN THE CHEST AT A HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEET LAST YEAR. PROSECUTORS CALLING ANTHONY'S ACTIONS UNJUSTIFIED, PROVOKED MURDER, ALLEGING HE GOADED METCALF INTO PUSHING HIM, THEN KILLED HIM.

THE DEFENSE ARGUES ANTHONY ACTED IN SELF-DEFENSE WHEN METCALF. MADE PHYSICAL CONTACT FIRST IN THE COURTROOM TODAY. JURORS SHOWN SURVEILLANCE VIDEO OF THE STABBING, METCALF'S MOTHER WIPING HER EYES AS JURORS WATCHED. REPORTER MARIA GUERRERO FROM OUR NBC DALLAS STATION IN THE COURTROOM. YOU CAN SEE SOMEONE PUSHING SOMEONE, THEN YOU SEE THE FIGURE THAT IS IDENTIFIED AS CARMELO ANTHONY MOVING UP. INTO THE BLEACHERS FARTHER UP. BEFORE RUNNING DOWN, AND YOU CAN SEE HIM RUNNING AWAY, THEN WALKING AWAY BEFORE HE IS APPREHENDED.

THE PROSECUTION SAYS THE CASE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE. BUT THE TRIAL NOW SPARKING BACKLASH. THE POOL OF 12 JURORS AND 6 ALTERNATES. IS MADE UP OF 5 WOMEN OF COLOR. AND 13 WHITE MEN AND WOMEN. THERE ARE NO BLACK JURORS. SOME SAY IT RAISES CONCERNS FOR FAIRNESS. WE ARE TIRED. AND WE'RE SAYING ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, NOT ONE BLACK. THE TRIAL EXPECTED TO RUN 2 WEEKS.

RYAN CHANDLER JOINS US NOW. RYAN, TAKE US INSIDE THAT COURTROOM. METCALF'S COACH TOOK THE STAND TODAY. WELL TOM, THAT'S RIGHT, WE HEARD FROM COACH ROBERT STARR. HIS EMOTIONAL TESTIMONY RECOUNTING THE MOMENT HE FOUND AUSTIN METCALF DYING. IN HIS TEAM TENT. METCALF'S FAMILY WEEPING. AS THEY LISTENED IN. HE'S JUST ONE OF THE MANY, MANY WITNESSES THE JURY WILL LEAN ON. TO PAINT A PICTURE OF WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED THAT DAY. TOM, OK, RYAN, WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME WE ARE LEARNING WHAT THE PILOTS SAID TO.

EACH OTHER LAST MONTH WHEN THAT UNITED PLANE COLLIDED WITH A LIGHT POLE. ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE, SMASHING INTO A BAKERY TRUCK. TOM COSTELLO WITH THE NTSB REPORT THAT'S JUST BEEN RELEASED. NTSB PHOTOS SHOW THE DEEP GASHES TO THE BELLY AND TIRE OF A UNITED AIRLINES PLANE. AFTER HITTING A LIGHT POLE ON THE JERSEY. TURNPIKE WHILE LANDING AT NEWARK AIRPORT LAST MONTH. DASH CAM AND SURVEILLANCE VIDEO CAPTURE THE MOMENT THE.

POLE CRASHED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD OF A TRACTOR TRAILER. THE DRIVER SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES. NOW A NEW NTSB REPORT SAYS AS THE PLANE WAS COMING IN FOR A LANDING IN GUSTY WINDS, THE FIRST OFFICER WARNED THE VETERAN CAPTAIN, HEY, YOU ARE SLOW. THEN MOMENTS LATER YOU'RE STILL SLOW AND A LITTLE LOW. THE CAPTAIN TOLD INVESTIGATORS HE LOOKED OUTSIDE AND I THOUGHT WE WERE LOW, BUT THE WARNING CAME SECONDS BEFORE LANDING. THAT'S WHEN HE HEARD A THUMP. FLIGHT ATTENDANTS REPORTED A LOUD BANG AS THE.

BOEING 767 CRASHED INTO A 15-FOOT POLE. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THAT LOW, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. ON THIS GRAPH, THIS LINE SHOWS WHAT THE PLANE'S DESCENT SLOPE SHOULD HAVE BEEN, WHILE THIS RED LINE SHOWS ITS ACTUAL DESCENT. PILOTS ON APPROACH LOOK TO A RUNWAY'S LANDING OR PAPPY LIGHTS LIKE THESE. 2 WHITE AND 1 OR 2 RED MEAN THEY'RE LINED UP PROPERLY, BUT THE NTSB REPORTS THE UNITED CREW WOULD HAVE SEEN 4 REDS, A BIG WARNING THEY WERE TOO LOW. IF YOU SEE ALL RED, IT SAYS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LAND.

AND TOUCH DOWN. BEFORE THOSE LIGHTS, AND THAT IS NOT GOOD. UNITED HAS SAID IT'S COOPERATING WITH THE INVESTIGATION AND HAS TOLD. THE NTSB IT'S REMINDED PILOTS NOT TO UNDERSHOOT A RUNWAY. TOM, OK, TOM COSTELLO, THAT IS SOME NEW SHOCKING ALLEGATIONS FROM KAREN REED, WHO WAS CLEARED OF MURDER LAST YEAR. YOU'LL REMEMBER. SHE'S NOW SUING POLICE OVER INVESTIGATORS' APPARENT RACIST. AND SEXIST MESSAGES. THAT WE SHOULD WARN YOU CONTAIN OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE. OUR EMILY AQUETTA REPORTS.

A YEAR AFTER KAREN REED WALKED OUT OF A MASSACHUSETTS COURT ACQUITTED OF MURDER, I COULD NOT BE STANDING HERE. WITHOUT. THESE. SUPPORTERS. THE 40 SIX-YEAR-OLD IS LEVELING HER OWN BOMBSHELL ALLEGATIONS AGAINST. THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS THAT INVESTIGATED HER FOR HER POLICE. OFFICER BOYFRIEND'S 2022 DEATH. UNEARTHING DECADE-OLD VULGAR VOICEMAILS THAT REED'S LAWYERS SAY. DEMONSTRATE A CULTURE OF BIAS AND CORRUPTION. YOU WANT A. FILTHY PIG.

THAT YOU JUST DO DIRTY THINGS TO. YOU DON'T WANT SOME LIKE. DOPE. BAD. THAT WAS THE CASE'S EVENTUAL LEAD INVESTIGATOR, MICHAEL PROCTOR, ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINT, WHO YOU CAN HEAR ALSO USED RACIAL SLURS DESCRIBING A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. TAKE YOUR TIME. I SAW A WAS INVOLVED, SO. I WOULDN'T RUSH. IF YOU'RE WORKING. WHILE. PROCTER'S ATTORNEY SAYS YEARS-OLD COMMENTS HAD. NO BEARING WHATSOEVER ON THE INVESTIGATION,

REED'S LAWYERS SAY THEY SHOW AN EMBEDDED CULTURE OF BIGOTRY, MISOGYNY, SYSTEMIC FAILURES, AND INSTITUTIONAL ROT. WITH THE MASSACHUSETTS STATE POLICE AND TOWN OF CANTON POLICE, WHICH THEY ALLEGE ULTIMATELY LED TO REED BEING WRONGLY ACCUSED. SHE WAS DRUNK. SHE. HIT HIM. AND SHE LEFT HIM TO DIE. THE NEW LAWSUIT ALSO LISTS A TROVE OF DISTURBING. TEXTS FROM PROCTOR AND CANTON POLICE SERGEANT SEAN GOOD. GOOD ALLEGEDLY CALLING THE BOSTON MAYOR A LITTLE C WORD. AND WRITING THE GOVERNOR CAN SUCK MY.

GOOD, WHO DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR REQUEST FOR COMMENT, RESIGNED FROM HIS POSITION THIS WEEK, AND PROCTOR WAS FIRED LAST YEAR. AND TONIGHT THE TOWN OF CANTON SAYS THE DEPARTMENT HAS MADE. SIGNIFICANT STRIDES IN RECENT YEARS WHILE MASSACHUSETTS. STATE POLICE TELLS US THE DISTURBING MESSAGES. DO NOT REFLECT THEIR VALUES. TOM, EMILY, THANK YOU, AND YOU CAN SEE KAREN REED IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW TOMORROW MORNING. ONLY. ON TODAY. WE WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU NOW AN INCREDIBLE STORY OF SURVIVAL ON MOUNT EVEREST. A SHERPA MISSING FOR NEARLY A WEEK.

IS RESCUED WHILE CRAWLING TO A BASE CAMP, AND TONIGHT HE'S SPEAKING OUT ABOUT HOW HE SURVIVED. HERE'S JANICE MACKEY FRAYER. TONIGHT A MIRACLE ON MOUNT EVEREST. A SHERPA GUIDE FOUND CRAWLING BACK TO BASE CAMP SIX DAYS AFTER HE WENT MISSING. DAWA SHERPA SEEN HERE MOMENTS AFTER HE WAS FOUND. I FELL FROM A LADDER INTO A CREVASSE, HE SAYS. FOR 2 DAYS AND NIGHTS I SURVIVED ON ICE.

THE 52-YEAR-OLD SEASONED GUIDE WAS LAST SEEN AROUND 23,600 FT, THE SO-CALLED DEATH ZONE, WHERE CONDITIONS ARE. HARSH AND OXYGEN TOO THIN TO SUSTAIN HUMAN SURVIVAL. SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMS SCOURED THE MOUNTAIN FOR. DAYS BEFORE HE APPEARED AROUND THE KHUMBU ICEFALL, FROSTBITTEN BUT ALIVE, AND SWIFTLY AIRLIFTED FROM THE MOUNTAIN. AT THE HOSPITAL, HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE OVERWHELMED. WE ASKED FOR PHOTOS AND ONLY THEN WERE WE SURE, SHE SAID. THEY HAD ALREADY STARTED HIS FUNERAL RITUAL, CONVINCED HE WAS.

GONE. THIS CLIMBING SEASON, A BUSY ONE ON THE WORLD'S HIGHEST PEAK AFTER A. MASSIVE CHUNK OF ICE BLOCKED THE ROUTE TO THE TOP, A RECORD 274 PEOPLE SUMMITING MOUNT EVEREST IN A SINGLE DAY LAST MONTH, CAUSING CONCERNS ABOUT GARBAGE AND OVERTOURISM. BUT THIS IS ALSO ONE FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS, A REMARKABLE STORY OF SURVIVAL. JANICE MACKIE FRAYER, NBC NEWS, BEIJING. AND WHEN WE RETURN IN 60 SECONDS, NOSEDIVE,

THE LANDING GEAR ON A MASSIVE PLANE, LOOK AT THIS, FAILS WHILE IT'S AT THE GATE. SO WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? PLUS THE MASSIVE EXPLOSION. WHAT SPARKED. THIS FIREBALL SENDING SCHOOL KIDS RUNNING? AND TONIGHT OUR ONE ON ONE WITH THE CEO OF THE BIGGEST CARMAKER IN AMERICA, WHAT SHE SAYS ABOUT THE ROAD AHEAD WITH AI, GAS PRICES, AND MORE. IN OUR SERIES BUSINESS IN AMERICA,

WE'RE TALKING TO CEOS OF THE BIGGEST AND BEST KNOWN COMPANIES IN THE COUNTRY. TONIGHT, MARY BARRA, CEO OF GENERAL MOTORS, SITS DOWN WITH OUR CHRISTINE ROMANS, GETTING INTO EVERYTHING FROM HIGH GAS PRICES TO COMPETITION WITH CHINA. TO HOW AI IS REVOLUTIONIZING THE VERY WAY. CARS GET MADE. IN THE WORLD'S LARGEST AUTOMOTIVE WIND TUNNEL. DECADES OF AERODYNAMIC VEHICLE TESTING IS SHIFTING INTO THE FUTURE. GENERAL MOTORS CEO MARY BARRA SAYS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. IS MOVING CAR DESIGN INTO THE FAST LANE, JUST A CLICK,

MAKING SMALL TWEAKS TO THE ROOF HERE WITH INSTANT RESULTS. WE HAVE AN AI TOOL THAT ALLOWS US TO. DO AND ESTIMATE WHAT THE ARROW IS GOING TO BE. ON A CONCEPT, REALLY DIAL IT IN, AND THEN WHEN WE GET THE DESIGN, THEN WE TAKE IT INTO THE ACTUAL WIND TUNNEL. AND DO THE FINAL WORK. BARRA IS A 4. 6 YEAR VETERAN OF GM AT 18, SHE STARTED AS A QUALITY INSPECTOR. SHE ROSE TO CHAIR AND CEO, A POSITION SHE'S HELD FOR 12 YEARS. SHE'S THE ONLY WOMAN TO LEAD A MAJOR GLOBAL CAR COMPANY. TO DREAM,

TO DESIGN, TO STYLE FOR YOU. CELEBRATING ITS 70TH ANNIVERSARY, GM'S DESIGN CENTER SITS JUST OUTSIDE DETROIT. THIS IS WHERE WE LITERALLY DESIGN WHAT THE. VEHICLE'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. HERE, OLD SCHOOL CLAY MODELING, SIDE BY SIDE WITH MODERN MACHINES. AND SKETCHES FROM AUTOMOTIVE ARTISTS TRANSFORMED USING AI PROMPTS. FOR A REALISTIC RENDERING OF A NEW CORVETTE, EVEN ENVISIONING IT ON THE ROAD. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT. USED TO TAKE WEEKS AND NOW IS BEING DONE IN MINUTES,

AND WHAT THAT HELPS FROM WEEKS TO MINUTES, WEEKS TO MINUTES, IT ALLOWS US TO EXPLORE MORE CONCEPTS, MORE IDEAS TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE RIGHT ONE. IS AI GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO MAKE CARS WITH FEWER PEOPLE, DO YOU THINK? I THINK IT'S HOW WE GIVE THE TOOLS TO THE PEOPLE. TO BE ABLE TO DO BETTER WORK. AND TO ME IT'S HOW DO WE DO MORE. WITH THE PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE WE'RE USING AI TOOLS, SHE SAYS HIGHER GAS PRICES AREN'T DENTING DEMAND. THE GM IS SQUARELY FOCUSED ON AFFORDABILITY WITH.

SIX MODELS STARTING AT $30,000 OR LESS, INCLUDING ITS ALL-ELECTRIC BOLT, A PRICE ON PAR WITH CHINESE EVS FROM MANUFACTURERS LIKE BYD. TOM RECENTLY TEST DROVE ONE OF THOSE CARS WHILE REPORTING IN CHINA. IF YOU COULD BUY THIS CAR IN AMERICA, HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST? SO $25,000 HERE, YOU HAD ABOUT $10,000 35,000 DOLLARS. STILL A PRETTY GOOD DEAL. BUT BARRA IS AMONG AMERICAN AUTO EXECS SAYING THAT. DEAL SHOULDN'T BE AN OPTION IN THE US, CITING UNFAIR CHINESE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES AND THE CONNECTED.

TECHNOLOGY THAT COULD LEAD TO SPYING ON AMERICANS. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO HAVE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, AND THEN WE NEED TO COMPETE. I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT AND. THE JOBS THAT ARE PROVIDED FROM AN ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE, AND THEN ALSO LOOK AT. FROM A NATIONAL SECURITY PERSPECTIVE, WHAT WOULD THE LEVEL PLAYING FIELD LOOK LIKE FOR YOU, YOU KNOW, EQUIVALENT TARIFFS AND NOT BEING SUBSIDIZED IN. AN INDUSTRY CHANGING FASTER THAN EVER, BARRA SAYS GM IS POISED TO WIN. I'M CONFIDENT THAT WE CAN COMPETE, AND WE'RE WORKING EVERY DAY TO CONTINUE TO MAKE OUR BUSINESS MORE EFFICIENT.

SO WE CAN GIVE THE CUSTOMER MORE. AFTER MORE THAN 4 DECADES WITH GM, BARRA STILL EXCITED FOR THE ROAD AHEAD. CHRISTINE ROMANS, NBC NEWS, WARREN, MICHIGAN. AND YOU CAN WATCH THE EXTENDED SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH AN NBC NEWS SUBSCRIPTION. ON THE NBC NEWS APP. WHEN WE RETURN HERE IN NIGHTLY NEWS. WHAT TRIGGERED THIS EXPLOSION AND THE FIREBALL THAT FOLLOWED IN MEXICO? AND BIG PROBLEMS FOR THE BIG SCREEN. DID FAN FERVOR TO SEE THE ODYSSEY CRASH MOVIE TICKETING WEBSITES? THAT'S NEXT.

WELCOME BACK. A SCARY MOMENT AT A GERMAN AIRPORT. LOOK AT THIS LUFTHANSA PLANE. PARKED AT THE JET BRIDGE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE. NOSE GEAR RETRACTS AND THE FRONT OF THE PLANE CRASHES DOWN. YOU SEE A MEMBER OF THE GROUND CREW THERE JUMP OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME. ACCORDING TO LOCAL MEDIA, SEVERAL STAFF WERE INJURED, BUT PASSENGERS HADN'T BOARDED YET. THE PLANE IS MASSIVE. A 787 DREAMLINER CAN WEIGH NEARLY 280 TONS. AT TAKEOFF. TONIGHT, THE BOMB SQUAD IS INVESTIGATING A BLOWN OUT SUV ON A BUSY CHICAGO HIGHWAY,

SNARLING TRAFFIC FOR HOURS. POLICE AND ATF AGENTS QUICKLY ARRIVED ON THE. SCENE LOOKING FOR ANY EVIDENCE YOU CAN SEE. OFFICERS CAUTIOUSLY APPROACHING THE VEHICLE. LAW ENFORCEMENT SOURCES TELL NBC CHICAGO THE SUV. WAS BEING TRACKED BY FEDERAL DRUG AGENTS, BUT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THIS WAS A TARGETED ATTACK. IN MEXICO, A MASSIVE. FIRE. FILLING THE SKY. FIRST ONE EXPLOSION AND THEN A TOWER OF FLAMES FOLLOWS. LOCAL POLICE SAY 4 GAS TANKS COMBUSTED, FORCING THOUSANDS TO EVACUATE.

LOCAL KIDS CAN BE SEEN HURRYING AWAY. WITH THE FLAMES IN THE BACKGROUND. LOOK AT THAT. NO WORD YET ON WHAT CAUSED IT. AND SO MANY PEOPLE TRIED TO SCORE TICKETS. TO CHRISTOPHER NOLAN'S NEW FILM THE ODYSSEY FROM. NBC'S SISTER COMPANY UNIVERSAL. THAT IT APPEARED TO. CRASHED THE AMC APP TODAY. THE MOVIE DOESN'T HIT THEATERS FOR ANOTHER 6 WEEKS, BUT IT'S ALREADY CAUSING A FRENZY. TODAY. PEOPLE SAYING THEY ENCOUNTERED TECHNICAL GLITCHES WHEN TRYING TO BUY THE TICKETS. WE REACHED OUT TO AMC FOR COMMENT BUT DID NOT IMMEDIATELY HEAR BACK. RIGHT NOW THOUGH,

THE APP SEEMS TO BE. UP AND RUNNING. THAT'S NIGHTLY NEWS FOR THIS THURSDAY. I'M TOM YAMAS. THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING. TONIGHT. AND ALWAYS, WE'RE HERE FOR YOU. GOOD NIGHT.
