Thousands forced to evacuate. Chaos at the airport as tourists raced to escape. President Biden declaring a major disaster. Our team in the fire zone tonight in Maui. Also tonight, the deal to release five Americans detained in Iran. It's part of a prisoner swap. Who or what is the U.S. giving up in return? New video of that deadly FBI raid in Utah.

Agents outside the home of a man who allegedly threatened to kill President Biden. Then suddenly, a loud bang. Tonight, the role Donald Trump social media platform played in alerting the FBI. The shocking assassination caught on camera in Ecuador. The presidential candidate leaving a campaign event when the fatal shots are fired. And launching into history the civilian astronauts on their all inspiring ride aboard Virgin Galactic's first space tourism flight.

This is NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt. Good evening and welcome, everyone. The scope of the devastation and loss of life in Maui from that rampaging wildfire is coming into horrific focus tonight, revealing a landscape of incinerated homes, businesses, cars and so much more before and after. Satellite images illustrate the path of destruction as the firestorm blew through the historic town of Lahaina.

Fire still burning today, but winds have thankfully calmed. And this evening, survivors are sharing with us their harrowing stories of escape, which for many involved, that desperate dash to the ocean with the flames at their backs. Tonight, President Biden declaring a major disaster on Maui, intended to fast track help to the island where thousands are in shelters and communications are spotty.

We have an expanded reporting team on the ground. We begin with Miguel Almaguer who made his way deep into the disaster zone. Miguel, I can imagine it is a shocking scene to view in person. It certainly is, Lester. And the damage here is extensive. It stretches block after block and neighborhood after neighborhood. That wildfire just exploded here. This is actually the area where some people ran from their homes into the ocean about a block and a half away.

But tonight, far too many people did not escape the flames as homes erupted into fireballs. The fast moving inferno obliterated everything in its path. This tropical paradise becoming a death trap for dozens who couldn't outrun the flames. Let's go after this terrifying heart pounding scene to evacuate. Late today, authorities confirm at least 53 fatalities. The second deadliest blaze in recent U.S. history.

No communication whatsoever. Susan Mattera, son, Matthew, is still among the missing. Just know your family and friends are reaching out to everybody. Your face is out there. We will find you and just know that we love you. Matthew lived here in Lahaina, the historic town in ruins where nearly 300 structures were swallowed by flames and engulfed in smoke.

It's all gone now. The fire devoured homes in minutes. Neighbors say it jumped from house to house and then block to block. Many say the flames were out before firefighters even arrived. Woke up this morning and got on our phones to pictures of our house just down to the slab inside these charred homes and incinerated cars. Authorities believe there may be more bodies to recover and more heartbreak to share.

We've been pulling people out since last night, trying to save people's lives. And I feel like we're not getting the help we need. A popular, colorful beach town. This is what Lahaina looked like and what's now left today. Here at the Harbor, residents say more bodies are washing up along the shore as the fire came across this area.

Victims say they were running as fast as the flames. Many jumped right into this harbor to save their lives once it came from this direction. I decided at 7 p.m. it was too much and time to go because I could hardly breathe. Patrick Sullivan live steps from the beach and lost it all. How do you describe the emotions that you're feeling right now?

Well, right here, it's pretty tough. But we'll be okay. We'll make it. With Maui in misery tonight. Three separate firefights are still under way. The National Guard making progress, but there remains no cause for the fires. Only reassurance from the president. Anyone who's lost a loved one whose home has been damaged or destroyed is going to get help immediately.

But for so many, help won't ease the heartbreak. Kimo Kirkman lost more than just his home in the fire. His father's ashes are also gone. And now he's just in the ground with all the other ashes. Oh. Oh. I constantly saw pictures and I said I should take a picture. Lots of people. You never know. Unbelievable. Destruction. And Miguel, I know you have some late information about fires still burning tonight.

Yeah, Lester, finally, some good news from behind the fire in this area. It's basically 80% contained. Crews have made tremendous progress. The reason, though, Lester, is because so much of this area has burned, there's simply not many more homes that can be destroyed. Lester and Miguel, we heard some of it in your story. But from the survivors, the stories of unimaginable loss and terrifying escapes as the fires destroyed everything in their paths.

Dana Griffin spoke with some of them today as daylight exposes the scarred skeleton of a prosperous tourist town. It's all gone. The people who thrive off the land are gutted. Second apocalypse. Mason Javi has the burns to prove he barely escaped. We just had the worst disaster I've ever seen. All line and burn to crash. A paradise turned overnight into an inferno.

Residents forced to flee in terror. We thought we were okay. But then the wind came. The gas stations blew up. Everything caught fire by the brush. And then we just had to evacuate. Some jumped into action, warning others of the rushing flames. The fire's out front street. It's time to go. Thousands evacuated. This was a home with no guarantee they'll have anything to go back to.

Pretty much everybody I know lost everything that we have. Many left with only their harrowing tales of survival. We just barely got out. There were there were ashes, embers, everything flying through the air. Martha Roberts and Bill Fawn Quest lost it all. They had to walk 15 miles to find safety or anything for more. You're going to miss.

So it was the feeling of security, of locking the door when I left. Is that silly? You're looking out at the fire as well, and it's horrendous. So now they live in this high school gym. But today, perhaps a glimmer of hope over the evacuation center. The rebuilding will start with memories. A 150 year old tree, a famed landmark, burned but still standing.

Dana Griffin, NBC News, Maui. Meantime, patience is being tested at Maui's airport as thousands of people, mostly tourists, scramble for flights off the island. Steve Patterson is there for us tonight. Tonight, thousands of passengers are just trying to get home. People are getting delayed. People are getting canceled. Baggage claims is a mess. It's all over the place. Many still stranded in Maui's Kahului Airport, processing the devastating scene they managed to escape.

It's a scary to see a big wildfire just kind of coming your way. And it's not something I ever experienced before. We've jumped out of the car and ran as fast as we could and got out. Amy Springsteen is headed home to Oregon. She says this is what's left of her Maui rental car. She, along with some others in her party, were going to dinner when she says flames leapt onto the street.

There was debris everywhere, fire falling down on top of us, but we got out safely. So far, more than 20,000 passengers have fled the island since the fires began. Thousands are still waiting. I think everybody feels safe that they've gotten here to the airport and there's food and I guess there was no food on the island. A lot of the seats are for a lot of people staying around, just waiting for flights.

Tonight, many travelers will still call the airport home as airlines scramble to add extra flights to get them out. American Airlines even upgraded a plane headed to Los Angeles with extra seats on Southwest and Hawaiian Airlines websites showing available flights from Maui to Honolulu for $19. And United Airlines saying they've canceled all inbound flights to Kahului Airport. So empty planes can be used to get passengers back to the mainland.

And see Patterson joining me now from the airport there. Steve, what is the mood there this evening? Lester, I can tell you it is a mix of people who just want to escape this travel chaos and others, mainly locals, who are reflecting out of places that have stood here for generations. There is a woman to my right. She doesn't want to be on camera, but she's been sleeping in this TSA courtyard for the past two nights.

And by the time people make it to this TSA line, they're just happy to be getting off the side. Lots of sleep, perhaps some better being. Thank you. The other major story tonight, five Americans who were held hostage for years in Iran finally out of prison and one step closer to coming home. Andrea mitchell has details on the deal the US made with Iran.

Tonight, five Americans are out of Tehran's notorious Evin prison and temporarily under house arrest in Iran. My belief is that this is the beginning of the end of their nightmare and the nightmare that their families have experienced before they can come home. Iran will get $6 billion of its oil revenue for humanitarian needs. Eventually, the U.S. is also expected to release several Iranians from American jails held the longest.

Siamak Namazi, a business consultant arrested in 2015, mirrored Abbas and environmental list, was imprisoned in 2018 and his wife not permitted to leave Iran. Tell us about the experience of having your parents there and not knowing how to get them home. It's obviously been a nightmare that you couldn't imagine. Ahmad Shah was also arrested in 2018. His daughters told us last year the wait was agonizing, especially when a fire broke out in the prison.

We thought it was dead. We didn't get to speak to them for two days. Moving the $6 billion for Iran's use could take weeks. Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian, jailed in Tehran for almost two years, knows what they're feeling. That kind of first taste of freedom, your shoulders start to loosen up just a little bit, but they don't fully relax until they're out of Iranian airspace.

A source familiar says separate talks could lead to an informal deal to freeze Iran's nuclear program, which U.S. officials say is only weeks away from having enough fuel for a weapon. Lester? Andrea mitchell, thanks. There's a new video this evening of the deadly confrontation between FBI agents and a Utah man who had allegedly threatened to kill President Biden.

Peter Alexander has that story. This video was taken during the deadly confrontation FBI agents seen surrounding the home of suspect Craig Robertson, who's not visible in the footage when suddenly the SWAT team went through his back door with a battering ram. They called for my neighbor to come out and he's like, I know I come out. The FBI had arrived in Robertson's Provo, Utah, home Wednesday morning to serve an arrest warrant for his alleged threats to assassinate President Biden.

Court records show a social media company first alerted the FBI in March about a disturbing post by Robertson. Tonight, a senior law enforcement official tells NBC News that company is Truth Social, the site founded by former President Trump. The FBI says Robertson identified himself online as a MAGA Trumper and called one of his rivals a Democrat eradicator. The FBI says for months it had been tracking the 75 year old and his violent threats about the president.

Vice president Kamala Harris and other prominent Democrats, including Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg, who's prosecuting a criminal case against Mr. Trump. In a recent post, Robertson noted that Biden is coming to Utah and referred to cleaning the dust of his sniper rifle. President Biden in Salt Lake City today, where he praised his and his family's security detail. My daughter has Secret Service and, you know, it's just wonderful.

Late tonight, a senior law enforcement official tells me Robertson was armed when FBI agents confronted him and he pointed his weapon at them and did not respond to commands before agents shot and killed him. Lester, Peter, thank you. In 60 seconds, that terrifying airplane plunge nosediving 1500 feet. Within seconds, was the crew to blame? Plus, the stunning assassination caught on video.

What happened when one man went up against the drug cartels? The NTSB cited crew failures today as the probable cause of a terrifying plunge by a United Airlines jet last December. The plane had just taken off from Maui for San Francisco when it descended from 2100 feet to just 748 feet above the Pacific. Before recovering. The NTSB blamed a miscommunication about the pilot's desired flap setting during the initial climb.

We'll turn now to that shocking moment caught on camera in Ecuador. A presidential candidate killed by an assassin's bullet at a campaign event. As escalating gang violence grips the country. Richard Angle now with the disturbing video. Then presidential candidate Fernando Vila Vincenzo was surrounded by bodyguards, leaving a campaign event in Ecuador's capital as he was getting into a truck.

You can hear the gunfire. He was shot in the head and killed just two weeks before the election. The lawmaker and former journalist was running on a pledge to root out corruption and organized crime, now terrorizing the streets. The president says assassins tossed a grenade as they escaped. At least six people are under arrest. Drug violence is skyrocketing in Ecuador with gangs fighting over routes and turf.

They have essentially promised to clean house. These are some of his last words at his final campaign event. This is what we need to do is to lock up the thieves, he said. The Vincenzo had said he'd been repeatedly threatened by drug cartels. Tonight, Ecuador's president has declared a state of emergency. Lester Richard Angle tonight, thank you. And coming up, our exclusive reporting, how China is allegedly threatening people beyond its borders in an effort to cover up human rights abuses.

We're back now with our NBC News exclusive on China's human rights abuses and the lengths its allegedly going to cover them up, even trying to get to people who've already fled the country. We get more from Kara Symons tonight. Idris Hassan is in a prison in Morocco. His wife and young daughter. Thousands of miles away in Turkey, listening to our phone call as he tells us about his two year nightmare.

Sometimes very much on a plane. Hassan was arrested by Moroccan authorities wanted by China under an Interpol red notice, which Interpol confirms has since been dropped. He's a member of the mostly Muslim weaker minority from China, the Chinese government accused by the U.S. of committing genocide against tweakers while in exile. Hassan campaigned against that treatment. China calls that terrorism and wants him extradited.

He says he's innocent. And now his wife and three children live in fear. You must miss them. I miss very much my family. I have a picture of my family. I cannot see the picture. If I share this picture, I'm very upset. I'm crying for my son. Tonight, a new report obtained exclusively by NBC News documents disturbing efforts by China to allegedly target exiled workers.

We have your father and sister. You'll never see them again if you don't collaborate with us. The report says one anonymous victim was told the report by Safeguard Defenders, a nonprofit human rights group highly critical of the Chinese government, describes cases like Devlin Schmitz living in Turkey, who says his family was forced to call him from China and urged him not to speak up on human rights.

When you got that phone call, did you believe that they were speaking? No. I know that the phone calls belong to the Chinese police department. The Chinese embassy in Washington tells NBC News. China is ruled by law. It can't be accused of torture, persecution or arbitrary detention against tweakers. It's not about human rights, ethnicity or religion, but about fighting violence, terrorism and separatism.

Meanwhile, a U.N. appeal is delaying Hasan's extra addition to China for now. Lester Carter Simmons, thank you. Up next, we talk with the civilian passengers after they got the ride of a lifetime to the edge of space and made history in the process. Finally, it's the trip of a lifetime for three space fanatics aboard Virgin Galactic's first space tourism flight.

Got a Schwartz with the civilian astronauts who have just made history. Three, two, one. Release, release, release. This is the moment it all changed for these newly minted space voyagers, not test pilots or trained astronauts, but ordinary people were in the vertical, headed toward space. They rocketed at three times the speed of sound to an altitude of more than 50 miles, and then 0g0 gravity felt like nothingness.

It was the most peaceful, serene moments ever where everything just stopped. Natives of Antigua, Kiesha Hoff and her 18 year old daughter Ana are not only the first mother and daughter duo to reach space. They're also the first female astronauts from the Caribbean. What do you hope little girls back on the island and seeing this happen feel after seeing what you guys went through?

I hope they feel invincible. Like it's okay to dream. It's okay to have these crazy dreams. And the hero's welcome for John Goodwin from his wife of 52 years, the former British Olympian who's battling Parkinson's disease. But his ticket back in 2005 waiting nearly two decades for this view. Even at 80 years of age with Parkinson's, I can do it.

A 60 minute flight that for these trailblazing tourists will last a lifetime. It was so beautiful, just breathtaking. And I just felt this total connection. It's something so deep within yourself, like that feeling that you have in your heart when you just know that you love someone or something. So truly much needed perspective from a spaceship called Unity.

Gary Schwartz, NBC News, Upper New Mexico. And that's what I call a family road trip. That's nightly news for this Thursday. Thanks for watching, everyone. I'm Lester Holt. Please take care of yourself and each other. Goodnight.
