1. Forty-nine people died when a Comair jet crashed just after take-off in Lexington, Kentucky. Only one person, the first officer, survived. Investigators are looking into whether the plane had taken off on a wrong runway.
2. Ernesto was a hurricane and Florida could be in its path. The storm is over Haiti and could impact South Florida Tuesday. Officials are telling visitors in the Florida Keys to leave now.
3. The storm could have an impact on the shuttle launch. Atlantis is scheduled to lift off Tuesday. The biggest concern is whether the launch pad was damaged by a lightning strike. But with a hurricane on the horizon, shuttle managers could scrap the launch altogether. NASA will make its decision Sunday night.
4. A happy reunion for two Fox newsmen kidnapped in Gaza two weeks ago and released this morning. Reporter Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Wiig say they were forced at gunpoint to make statements, but they had praise for the Palestinian people.
