[0:18] The crash of flight 990. Why did this

[0:20] 767 dive out of the skies? Tonight, a

[0:24] desperate search and rescue mission

[0:25] takes a grim turn. It is in everyone's

[0:28] best interest to no longer expect that

[0:30] we will find survivors in this case.

[0:33] >> The latest on the investigation and new

[0:35] clues. Plus, the FBI, who they're

[0:38] talking to, what questions they're

[0:39] asking, and the families, their shock,

[0:42] their grief, the stories of loved ones

[0:44] who lost their lives in this

[0:45] catastrophe.

[0:47] And Walter Payton, the greatest of the

[0:49] NFL runners, dies. He could not get a

[0:53] liver transplant in time.

[0:57] From NBC News World Headquarters in New

[1:00] York, this is NBC Nightly News with Tom

[1:04] Bro.

[1:06] Good evening. It's a beautiful part of

[1:08] the world. The waters off the

[1:10] northeastern coast of North America, but

[1:13] deadly as well. In the past four years,

[1:15] there have been four high-profile

[1:18] airplane crashes and no survivors. TWWA

[1:21] Flight 800, Swiss Air 111, and John F.

[1:24] Kennedy Jr. The latest Egypt Air Flight

[1:27] 990 killed 217 people, including 106

[1:32] Americans. And tonight, we'll explore

[1:34] these questions. What, if any, clues do

[1:37] they have to the cause of that crash?

[1:39] What were the final moments like? Has

[1:42] terrorism been ruled out? The plane dove

[1:45] straight into the Atlantic not too far

[1:46] from when where John F. Kennedy Jr.'s

[1:48] plane crashed? We begin with NBC's

[1:51] Robert Hager tonight on the search

[1:53] operation. Robert

[1:55] >> Tom, the searchers here have sadly given

[1:57] up hope that there could be any

[1:59] survivors out there now, but they have

[2:01] heard a pinging noise
