[0:06] Welcome to World News Tonight. Fallen
[0:09] Titan. General Motors, once the world's
[0:11] largest automaker, files for bankruptcy.
[0:14] Uncle Sam will be its biggest
[0:15] shareholder. And we report tonight from
[0:17] a dealer uncertain where GM is going.
[0:21] Midair mystery. Air France flight 447
[0:24] from Rio di Janeiro to Paris disappears
[0:26] over the Atlantic. 228 passengers and
[0:29] crew are feared dead. Gun down, a
[0:33] suspect said to have anti-government and
[0:34] anti-abortion sentiments is being held
[0:37] in the shooting death of a leading
[0:39] abortion doctor. And speaking out, a
[0:42] prominent journalist talks about her

[1:19] reporting from this Chevrolet dealership
[1:20] in New Jersey, which hopes to be part of
[1:22] the GM network that survives. Also
[1:25] today, an Air France jet with 228 people
[1:28] on board simply disappeared over the
[1:30] Atlantic after it passed through an area
[1:32] of severe weather. And we'll have more
[1:34] on that in a moment. But we do begin
[1:36] with General Motors and David Mure is
[1:38] outside the GM building in New York.
[1:40] David,
[1:42] >> Charlie, good evening. As you know, the
[1:44] White House has been pushing GM in this
