THIS IS NBC NIGHTLY NEWS WITH TOM YASS. AND GOOD EVENING. WE THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ON THIS MONDAY, AND WE ARE LIVE TONIGHT FROM OUR NBC NEWS ELECTION HEADQUARTERS, WHERE WE WILL BE ALL NIGHT TOMORROW AS AMERICA DECIDES. WHO WILL CONTROL CONGRESS. AND WHAT SEEMED LIKE A LONG SHOT FOR DEMOCRATS JUST MONTHS AGO, FLIPPING 4 SENATE SEATS TO GAIN CONTROL. NOW SEEMS WITHIN REACH FOR. THEM. AND WE ARE TRACKING MULTIPLE MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS.

IN THESE FINAL HOURS OF THE CAMPAIGN, INCLUDING THE SHOCK ENDORSEMENT IN MICHIGAN. BY A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN. PULLING HER SUPPORT FROM DEMOCRAT ABDUL EL SAYED. AND THROWING IT TO REPUBLICAN MIKE ROGERS. WE'LL GET TO STEVE KORNACKI AND OUR POLITICAL TEAM. IN JUST A MOMENT. AND WE ARE TRACKING CONCERNS THAT NASTY WEATHER. IN TWO KEY BATTLEGROUNDS COULD IMPACT VOTERS, BUT WE'VE JUST RECEIVED NEW REPORTING IN. THAT HORRIFIC PRIVATE PLANE CRASH IN FLORIDA. THE VIDEO SO TERRIFYING WE'RE ONLY SHOWING PART OF IT.

THE PLANE DIVING NOSE FIRST INTT. AND THEN A MASSIVE EXPLOSION. AND IN THE AFTERMATH. JUST A BURNING EMPTY CRATER YOU SEE RIGHT HERE. WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT WHO WAS ON BOARD TONIGHT THAT DOOMED FLIGHT, A YOUNG PILOT. AND A FAMILY HEADING ON A TRIP TO THE BAHAMAS. OUR JESSE KIRSCH IS AT THE CRASH SITE TONIGHT WITH THE VERY LATEST. CAR DASH CAMERA VIDEO CAPTURING THE MOMENT A PRIVATE. JET NOSEDIVES INTO THE GROUND NEAR WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA. WE'VE FROZEN THE VIDEO BEFORE THE MOMENT OF IMPACT,

THEN AN EXPLOSION AS THIS MASSIVE FIREBALL FILLS THE SOUTH FLORIDA SKY, A FLAMING CRATER LEFT BEHIND. OFFICIALS SAY THIS LEAR JET WAS FLYING FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS TO THE BAHAMAS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. WHEN IT CRASHED, KILLING ALL 9 PEOPLE ON BOARD. AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL AUDIO TAKING US INSIDE. THE COCKPIT FOR THE FRIGHTENING FINAL MOMENTS. A DIRE WARNING FROM THE FLIGHT'S CO-PILOT, NOW IDENTIFIED BY FAMILY AS 20-YEAR-OLD NATALIA FIGUERAS, WHO EARNED HER PILOT'S LICENSE.

WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL. WE. WE'RE GOING TO CRASH INTO THE GROUND. ON SOCIAL MEDIA, ANTHONY ROBINSON WRITING ON BEHALF OF THE PASSENGERS' FAMILIES. IDENTIFYING ADAM ROBINSON, HELEN SHARP, AND THEIR 2 AND 4-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN AS VICTIMS. THE STATEMENT ALSO IDENTIFYING ANITA MARIA SATINA, RACHEL REED, AND CHARMEE FAIR AS PASSENGERS KILLED. ATC AUDIO SUGGESTS THE CREW MAY HAVE TRIED FLYING AROUND A POWERFUL THUNDERSTORM.

WE'RE MAKING. FAIRLY LARGE LEFT TURNS TO AVOID SOME BUILDUP, BUT THEN FLIGHT RADAR 24 DATA SHOWS THE PLANE PLUNGING 35,000 FT. IN LESS THAN 90 SECONDS. WE DO HAVE. SOME INDICATION THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS BREAKING UP BEFORE. IMPACT. NOW FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS ARE ON SCENE, EVEN COLLECTING FILES FROM THE CO-PILOT'S OFFICE TODAY. WHAT WOULD THE ROLE OF THE CO-PILOT ON THE AUDIO RECORDING HAVE BEEN. IN THE MIDST OF ALL THIS?

WOULD SHE HAVE BEEN AT CONTROLS OR SIMPLY RELAYING COMMUNICATION? WE DON'T YET KNOW THAT, AND THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'LL SEEK TO. DETERMINE. AND TOM, REMARKABLY, OFFICIALS SAY NO ONE WAS KILLED ON THE GROUND EVEN THOUGH HUNDREDS. OF PEOPLE WERE EVACUATED FROM THE AREA WITH DEBRIS AND EVIDENCE SCATTERED. ALL AROUND A MASSIVE CRATER THAT'S JUST DOWN THIS BLOCKED OFF ROAD. TOM, JESSE KIRSCH LEADING US OFF, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WEATHER WHERE JESSE IS JUST UP THE COAST THERE. THERE'S A FLASH FLOODING EMERGENCY UNFOLDING, AND GEORGE SOLIS IS IN THE STORM ZONE.

AS SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE COUNTRY. COULD MAKE A MESS OF ELECTION DAY. HISTORIC FLOODING BATTERING FLORIDA AND LEAVING MILLIONS ON ALERT. POUNDING RAIN SWAMPING CARS AND WASHING OUT ROADS. IN PORT ST. LUCIE. ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS SUBMERGED. RESCUES UNDERWAY IN HARD-HIT BREVARD COUNTY, WHERE CREWS HAD TO CARRY THIS MAN FROM HIS HOME, AND SOME RESIDENTS. KAYAKS TO GET AROUND. WE COULD LOSE OUR HOUSE. IT'S ALREADY UNDER THE CRAWL SPACE. DAVID ALTMAN SHARING THIS VIDEO OF HIS FLOODED OUT HOME IN BAREFOOT BAY.

RIGHT NOW WE CAN'T LEAVE. IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. THIS RV PARK CLOSED, STRANDING VISITORS. WATER WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK. IN ARIZONA, OFFICIALS SAY 2 PEOPLE WERE KILLED. A 73-YEAR-OLD MAN DIED AFTER HE FELL INTO FLOODWATERS ON SUNDAY. IN SEDONA, INTENSE SHOWERS SWELLING WATERWAYS AND RIVERS. THE INTENSE WEATHER TRAPPING CARS AND SWEEPING AWAY TREES.

CAMP VERDE, A GOOD SAMARITAN PULLING A WOMAN FROM HER HOME. IT'S GOING TO BE DEEP AND COLD. AND CARRYING HER THROUGH WAIST-DEEP WATERS. THIS FAMILY RACING TO SAVE THEIR DOG FROM A CAMPER. RESCUERS PULLING A ROPE AND FIGHTING AGAINST THE MOVING WATER TO GET IT TO SAFETY. AND IN COLORADO, SEVERE RAINFALL SWEEPING BRIDGES AWAY. THIS HOME FLOATING DOWN THE RIVER AND CRASHING. BACK IN FLORIDA, OFFICIALS WARNING FAMILIES, WE'VE HAD OUR ROADS. WASHED OUT, SO.

R MAIN MESSAGE IS. SHELTER IN PLACE. GEORGE JOINS US NOW LIVE, AND GEORGE, THAT WEATHER IS REALLY COMING DOWN WHERE YOU ARE. HAVE OFFICIALS SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ELECTION DAY. TOMORROW AND CONCERNS WITH VOTER TURNOUT? TOM, POLLING PLACES ARE GOING TO BE OPEN, BUT THEY ARE RELOCATING IN NEIGHBORING INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. THE STORMY WEATHER ALSO GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT IN THE MIDWEST. AND IN THE PLAINS, INCLUDING STATES LIKE KANSAS AND TEXAS. TOM. YOU HEAR THAT WEATHER EMERGENCY UNFOLDING BEHIND GEORGE THERE. GEORGE, WE THANK YOU.

AND TONIGHT WE ARE JUST HOURS AWAY FROM. THE CRITICAL MIDTERM ELECTIONS WITH CONTROL OF CONGRESS. UP FOR GRABS. PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKING HIS FINAL PITCH AND OUR NEW REPORTING. ON THAT BOMBSHELL IN MICHIGAN WHERE A. TOP DEMOCRAT ENDORSED THE REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATE. HERE'S RYAN NOBLES. TONIGHT. THE FINAL SPRINT. PRESIDENT TRUMP CAPPING OFF HIS MIDTERM BLITZ. 28 RALLIES ACROSS 19 STATES. IF THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR ME, IF THEY GO OUT AND VOTE JUST. A GOOD PORTION OF THEM WE WILL WIN IN A LANDSLIDE.

AND IN THE CRITICAL MICHIGAN SENATE RACE, THAT NOVEMBER SURPRISE SHOWCASING A DIVIDE AMONG DEMOCRATS. DEMOCRAT ABDUL AL SAYED TODAY. DONALD TRUMP IS THE WORST SYMPTOM OF THE DISEASE OF OUR POLITICS. FOLLOWING THAT LAST MINUTE BOMBSHELL. FROM DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN HALEY STEVENS, BREAKING RANKS AND ENDORSING REPUBLICAN MIKE ROGERS. MY VOTE FOR SENATE IS GOING TO BE WITH MIKE ROGERS, AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY. BECAUSE WE HAVE. TO STAND. WITH COUNTRY.

STEVENS NARROWLY LOST THE PRIMARY TO EL SAYED AND HAD CALLED ON HIM. TO MORE FORCEFULLY CONDEMN AN AD BY. EL SAYED'S SUPPORTERS CRITICIZED AS ANTI-SEMITIC, WHICH HE DISTANCED HIMSELF FROM, TYING GROCERY. PRICES TO ISRAEL. EL SAYED BANNING HER FROM HIS CAMPAIGN EVENTS BEFORE SHE ENDORSED ROGERS. THERE IS A CHORUS OF DEMOCRATS AROUND THIS STATE. SAYING THAT ABDUL IS TOO EXTREME. EL SAYED BRISTLING WHEN PRESSED BY REPORTERS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, I ACTUALLY DON'T THINK ABOUT HALEY STEVENS.

TONIGHT NBC'S SHAQUILLE BREWSTER IN MICHIGATH. THIS EL SAYED VOTER SLAMMING STEVENS. I'M DISAPPOINTED IN HER. I'M ALL FOR SYED BECAUSE I WANT TO CHECK ON PRESIDENT TRUMP. WHILE THIS LONGTIME. DEMOCRAT IS VOTING REPUBLICAN. THIS IS NOT ABOUT. MIKE ROGERS BEING. THE BEST CANDIDATE. FOR ME. THIS IS ABOUT HIM BEING. A SAFER CHOICE. AND IN ALASKA, A JUDGE BLOCKING A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LAWSUIT TO STOP CERTIFICATION. IF REPUBLICAN SENATOR DAN SULLIVAN NARROWLY LOSES,

THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS REPORTED DEMOCRAT MARY PELTOLA'S CAMPAIGN RECRUITED A. MAN WITH THE SAME NAME AS THE INCUMBENT TO CONFUSE VOTERS. NBC'S STEVE PATTERSON IS IN ALASKA. THAT DOUBLE DAN SULLIVAN CONTROVERSY HANGING OVER THE ELECTION. IN ALASKA, BUT IT IS NOT DETERRING TURNOUT. THIS LINE STRETCHING OUT THE DOOR. HAS HAD PEOPLE WAITING FOR UP TO AN HOUR. PELTOLA WAS PRESSED IF HER CAMPAIGN WAS INVOLVED IN THE ALLEGED SCHEME. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ANYBODY IN YOUR CAMPAIGN WAS. POTENTIALLY PART OF THAT CONSPIRACY TO PLANT DAN?

I HAVE NO IDEA. NO IDEA. ALL RIGHT. AND WITH THAT, RYAN NOBLES JOINS US LIVE IN STUDIO. RYAN, WE HAVE THE SENATE BATTLEGROUNDS HERE, INCLUDING ALASKA. WHAT WILL DEMOCRATS HAVE TO DO TO TAKE BACK CONTROL OF THE SENATE? SO TOM, THEY NEED TO NET 4 SEATS. THAT MEANS THEY NEED TO WIN THE 4 COMPETITIVE SEATS THEY CURRENTLY HOLD. AND THEN WIN 4 SEATS THAT ARE CURRENTLY HELD BY REPUBLICANS. OK, RYAN NOBLES IS PART OF OUR ELECTION TEAM TOMORROW. RYAN, WE THANK YOU. LET'S MOVE OVER TO THE BIG BOARD AND STEVE KORNACKI IS IN THE HOUSE.

STEVE, LET'S TALK MICHIGAN. THERE'S TWO BIG COUNTIES YOU'RE GOING TO BE WATCHING TOMORROW NIGHT. WHY? YEAH, YOU MENTIONED HALEY STEVENS, THE CONGRESSWOMAN WHO COMES OUT WITH THAT LAST MINUTE ENDORSEMENT THERE. THIS IS THE COUNTY WHERE SHE REPRESENTS IN CONGRESS HERE. THIS IS A BIG GIANT SUBURBAN COUNTY, TYPICALLY DEMOCRATIC. DOES EL SAYED UNDERPERFORM HERE? THAT'S SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON. THE OTHER PLACE TO WATCH, WAYNE COUNTY, BIGGEST IN THE STATE, DETROIT, HEAVILY DEMOCRATIC CITY. KAMALA HARRIS, WHEN SHE LOST THE STATE. AND 24. UNDERPERFORMED THERE. HOW DOES EL SAYED DO ON TUESDAY NIGHT? ALL RIGHT, LET'S TALK ABOUT ANOTHER BATTLEGROUND STATE, AND THAT IS THE STATE OF TEXAS.

DEMOCRATS HAVEN'T WON STATEWIDE THERE. IN 30 YEARS. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE WATCHING FOR? HERE'S ONE KEY COUNTY IN THAT METROPLEX AREA, DENTON COUNTY. FAST GROWING. DEMOCRATS POINT TO THIS AREA AS THE PLACE. THEY THINK MOMENTUM DEMOGRAPHICALLY IS ON THEIR SIDE. DENTON COUNTY. WENT FOR TRUMP. BY 13. POINTS IN 2024, ALMOST A PERFECT MIRROR OF THE STATE. IF DEMOCRATS ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO WIN A STATEWIDE RACE IN TEXAS, THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF COUNTY THEY NEED TO ACTUALLY WIN. ALL RIGHT, STEVE KORNACKI, WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE'RE BACK AT OUR ELECTION DESK HERE.

IN OUR ELECTION HEADQUARTERS. KRISTEN WELKER, HALLIE JACKSON, SO GREAT TO SEE YOU GUYS. I KNOW YOU JUST GOT NEW REPORTING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN MICHIGAN. WITH HALEY STEVENS. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED? WELL, TOM, LOOK, THE FINGER POINTING HAS. ALREADY BEGUN, WITH SOME DEMOCRATS WONDERING. IF. EL SAYED COULD HAVE DONE MORE TO UNIFY. DEMOCRATS. FOR EXAMPLE, WE JUST LEARNED. THAT STEVENS OFFERED TO CAMPAIGN WITH HIM THE DAY AFTER THE PRIMARY. HIS CAMPAIGN. DECLINED. HAKEEM JEFFRIES MEANWHILE SAYING THIS, THAT STEVENS BLINDSIDED EVERYONE,

AND THEY WILL DISCUSS APPROPRIATE NEXT STEPS AFTER THE ELECTION. THE QUESTION IS, WILL. THIS. HELP MIKE ROGERS? WIN OVER HALEY STEVENS VOTERS, OR WILL IT BACKFIRE AND HELP AL SAYED? SOUNDS LIKE THE FINGER POINTING HAS ALREADY STARTED. HALLIE. EVERY MIDTERM THAT WE HAVE, THE POWER, THE PARTY THAT HAS THE POWER. LOSES SOME SEATS. THEY'RE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WHY IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT? THE PRESIDENT IS HOPING THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. HE'S TELLING VOTERS, PRETEND I'M ON THE BALLOT TO TRY TO MAKE IT A REFERENDUM ON HIMSELF. THAT COULD BE A RISK. OUR NEW NBC POLL NUMBERS SHOW THAT 60% OF PEOPLE DISAPPROVE OF THE JOB HE'S DOING.

THAT'S THE HIGHEST THAT NUMBER HAS BEEN SINCE ANY OF HIS. TIME IN OFFICE. AND BY THE WAY, 2/3 OF INDEPENDENTS DON'T APPROVE. IF YOU'RE ONLY GONNA WATCH TWO THINGS TOMORROW NIGHT, BIG PICTURE, NUMBER 1, WATCH THIS. DO VOTERS WHO SWUNG TOWARD PRESIDENT TRUMP TWO YEARS AGO SWING BACK? THAT'S THOSE INDEPENDENTS, THAT'S LATINO VOTERS, THAT'S YOUNGER VOTERS. AND NUMBER 2 ON THE ECONOMY, CONSISTENTLY THE BIGGEST, MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR VOTERS. WHO DO VOTERS THINK WILL MAKE THEIR LIVES MORE AFFORDABLE? THAT'S GONNA HELP US TELL THAT STORY TOMORROW. ALL RIGHT GUYS, THANKS SO MUCH FOR THAT AND JOIN ME AND HALLIE,

KRISTEN, STEVE IN SAVANNAH AND THE. THE REST OF OUR NBC NEWS TEAM. TUESDAY NIGHT RIGHT HERE ON NBC FOR THE BEST. AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE MIDTERM COVERAGE. ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO TURN NOW BECAUSE IN MASSACHUSETTS THERE WAS A. HIGH STAKES HEARING FOR LINDSAY CLANCY TODAY. HER DEFENSE TRYING TO GET THE CASE TOSSED. AT THE CENTER WAS THE LONE HOLDOUT JUROR WHO THE. DEFENSE ARGUED SHOULD HAVE BEEN FURTHER QUESTIONED FOR POSSIBLE MISCONDUCT. BEFORE A MISTRIAL WAS DECLARED. PROSECUTORS SIGNALED PLANS FOR A RETRIAL BUT WOULDN'T SAY WHETHER. THEY'LL BRING THE SAME FIRST.

DEGREE MURDER CHARGES AGAINST CLANCY FOR KILLING HER CHILDREN. ALL RIGHT, WHEN WE RETURN IN JUST 60 SECONDS, THE ALZHEIMER'S STORY. THAT HITS CLOSE TO HOME FOR US HERE AT NBC NEWS. HOW ONE OF OUR PRODUCERS IS FIGHTING BACK AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S, THE NEW TREATMENTS AND WHAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW, PLUS THE TROOPER WHO HITCHED A RIDE. FROM A RANDOM DRIVER TO CHASE DOWN A SUSPECT. AND THE NEW WORLD RECORD. LOOK AT THIS, JUST SET, CROSSING A MOUNTAIN RANGE BY HIGH WIRE. STAY WITH US.

WE'RE BACK NOW WITH A STORY FROM ONE OF OUR HARDWOR PRODUCERS HERE AT NBC NEWS. OUR OWN SUE KROLL IS A FORCE IN THE FIELD, BUT TONIGHT SUE IS SHARING HER STORY. ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S AND HOW SHE'S FIGHTING AGAINST THE DISEASE AND HOW YOU COULD TOO. KATE SNOW HAS SUE'S STORY. SUE KROLL IS A SENIOR COORDINATING PRODUCER AT NBC NEWS. FOR WORK, SHE TRAVELS THE WORLD FOR SOME OF THE BIGGEST NEWS STORIES OF OUR TIME, BUT IT'S HER OWN STORY THAT WILL RESONATE WITH MANY. SUE'S MOM, JAN,

IS ONE OF MORE THAN 7 MILLION AMERICANS LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. I WENT DOWN THIS PATH TO TRY TO HELP HER AND TO TRY TO EDUCATE MYSELF. I STARTED TO REALIZE THAT IS THIS. IS THIS JOURNEY ABOUT ME AS WELL. IN HER 50S, SUE DECIDED TO TAKE A CHEEK SWAB TEST READILY AVAILABLE ONLINE. THE $125 DNA TEST SHOWED SHE WAS AT INCREASED RISK FOR ALZHEIMER'S. FOLLOW-UP BLOOD TESTS SHE TOOK THROUGH AN ONLINE LAB. INDICATED SUE ALREADY HAD ELEVATED LEVELS OF AMYLOID PROTEINS IN HER BRAIN,

A BIOMARKER ASSOCIATED WITH ALZHEIMER'S. I WAS REALLY SCARED AND I. STARTED TO LIKE. LOOK BACK AT MY MEMORY AND MAYBE I WAS FORGETTING A FEW WORDS HERE AND THERE AND. IS THIS MENOPAUSE THAT WE HEAR ABOUT BRAIN FOG LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME? SUE JOINED A RESEARCH. A STUDY RUN BY NEUROLOGIST DR. RICHARD ISAACSON. WE NEED TO START. TALKING ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S AS AN EARLY AND MIDDLE AGED DISEASE. THERE'S SO MANY THINGS PEOPLE CAN DO. HE'S FOCUSED ON YOUNGER AT-RISK PATIENTS. FULL DISCLOSURE,

I AM ALSO A STUDY PARTICIPANT. THE 4-YEAR STUDY LOOKS AT HOW EARLY INTERVENTIONS LIKE DIET, EXERCISE, AND BETTER SLEEP MAY IMPACT BRAIN HEALTH. BRAINS ARE GROWING. BRAIN VOLUMES ARE GROWING. BRAIN PROTEINS ARE NORMALIZING. WHEN PEOPLE MAKE CHANGES, WHEN PEOPLE MAKE CHANGES, COGNITIVE FUNCTION IS IMPROVING. TODAY IS A PRETTY BIG DAY. HER JOURNEY INCLUDED HORMONE THERAPY AND INFUSIONS. OF A MEDICATION RECENTLY APPROVED BY THE FDA. FOR PEOPLE WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF MILD COGNITIVE. IMPAIRMENT OR MILD DEMENTIA DUE TO ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE.

THEN CAME THIS MOMENT. I JUST GOT MY MYCHART RESULTS FROM MY. AMYLOID PET SCAN. AND IT SAYS THE BETA AMYLOID IS GONE, BUT IT'S BEEN RESOLVED. I NO LONGER HAVE THE AMYLOID ON MY BRAIN. WHILE IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS AT THE TIME OF THESE RESULTS, A MARKER FOR ALZHEIMER'S IN HER BRAIN HAD DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED. THIS IS A STORY ABOUT EARLY DETECTION.

THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. KATE SNOW, NBC NEWS, NEW YORK. AND WE ARE ALL PUSHING FOR OUR SUE. SHE IS SO COURAGEOUS. OK. WHEN WE RETURN TONIGHT, NONE OTHER THAN MARTHA STEWART, FORCED TO APOLOGIZE AFTER CRITICS BLASTED. HER HALLOWEEN COSTUME. THAT'S NEXT. WELCOME BACK. A WILD PURSUIT ON A FLORIDA HIGHWAY. A TROOPER WAS CHASING A DRIVER GOING MORE THAN. 90. MPH, ACCORDING TO THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL. THE SUSPECT GETS OUT OF THE CAR AND GOES.

OVER AN OVERPASS. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT HE DOES HERE. THE VIDEO CUTS TO THE TROOPER JUMPING ON BOARD A. GOOD SAMARITAN'S TRUCK THAT STOPPED. YOU CAN SEE HIM THERE IN THE MIRROR. THEY GIVE CHASE AND THE VIDEO FREEZES JUST. AS THE TROOPER MAKES CONTACT WITH THE SUSPECT. WHO WAS CHARGED WITH EVADING ARREST. MARTHA STEWART IS APOLOGIZING AFTER POSTING AND LATER DELETING A PHOTO OF HERSELF. IN A HALLOWEEN COSTUME. HOLDING A SIGN THAT READ, I AM HUNGRY. HELP ME. AMID BACKLASH, THE LIFESTYLE GURU ADDRESSED THE COSTUME BUT DIDN'T FULLY APOLOGIZE.

BUT AS THE CONTROVERSY GREW, STEWART ISSUED ANOTHER MORE DIRECT APOLOGY, SAYING IN PART, IT'S HARD TO ADMIT WHEN YOU'VE REALLY SCREWED UP. SHE ADDED, WEARING A COSTUME LIKE I DID WAS INSENSITIVE AND NOT FUNNY. I AM VERY SORRY. OK, AND THIS INCREDIBLE VIDEO, A MAN SETTING A RECORD, SLACKLINING ACROSS A. SNOW VALLEY IN AUSTRIA. LOOK AT THAT. FLORIAN ZOLLER. GOING ACROSS ALMOST 472 FT WHILE BEING ABOUT. 500 FT IN THE AIR. HE MORE THAN DOUBLED HIS PREVIOUS RECORD. WHEN WE COME BACK, CROSSING THE FINISH LINE,

THE INCREDIBLE ATHLETE. WHO MADE IT 26 MILES. THE HARD WAY. AFTER LIFE THREW HER A DETOUR. THAT'S NEXT. FINALLY, THERE'S GOOD NEWS TONIGHT. THE NEW YORK CITY MARATHON BRINGS TOGETHER MORE THAN 60,000 COMPETITORS, INCLUDING ONE WHO DIDN'T LET A LIFE-CHANGING ACCIDENT STOP HER. FROM TAKING ON ALL 26.2 MILES. MOST MARATHONERS FOCUS ON THE FINISH LINE,

BUT FOR 20-YEAR-OLD EUGENIA PARIZ, JUST GETTING TO THE STARTING LINE. FELT MONUMENTAL. I'M LIKE THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD. LIKE. THAT'S WHAT I TELL MYSELF. THE MIAMI NATIVE WAS TRAINING FOR HER SECOND HALF MARATHON. LAST YEAR WHEN A DEVASTATING CAR ACCIDENT CHANGED EVERYTHING, LEAVING HER PARALYZED FROM THE WAIST DOWN, I WAS LIKE, ALL OF MY PLANS ARE RUINED NOW. I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO DO, BUT THAT MINDSET. DIDN'T LAST LONG. BIGGER. WITH THE. LEFT. EUGENA BEGAN REHAB TREATMENTS,

SLOWLY FINDING A NEW KIND OF STRENGTH. LET'S GO 10. YOU GOT 10 FOR SURE. EVENTUALLY. SHE MADE HER WAY BACK TO THE SPORT SHE LOVES. AND HER DREAM OF FINISHING THE NEW YORK CITY MARATHON WAS ALIVE AGAIN. SUNDAY SHE TOOK ON THE ICONIC COURSE, ONE OF NEARLY 50 HAND CYCLISTS RACING THROUGH ALL FIVE BOROUGHS. BEFORE I GUESS WHEN YOU WOULD GO ON A RUN AND. YOU'RE KIND OF SICK OF IT IT'S LIKE. I TAKE IT FOR GRANTED LESS. I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT I'M ABLE TO BE OUTSIDE EVEN DOING THE HAND CYCLE.

THAT GRATITUDE AND GRIT. CARRIED HER THROUGH ALL 26.2 MILES. AND. ACROSS THE FINISH LINE. I REMEMBER LIKE BEING ON THAT ICU BED AND THINKING LIKE. THAT I WAS NEVER GONNA BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. ONE BIG OBSTACLE IN YOUR LIFE DOESN'T HAVE TO DETERMINE THE REST OF YOUR FUTURE. AND YOU COULD JUST MAKE THE BEST OUT OF ANY SITUATION. WHAT A COMPETITOR. CONGRATS TO OGENA AND ALL THE MARATHONERS.

THAT'S NIGHTLY NEWS FOR THIS MONDAY. I'M TOM YASS. WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING. TONIGHT, AND ALWAYS, WE'RE HERE FOR YOU. GOOD NIGHT.
