"cnn news central" starts right now.

moment of act impact, an airplane bursts into flames. s pa engineersed the rush to escape. back in the u.s., was it terrorism? the fbi is now investigating a deadly crash outside a popular concert venue in new york state. the disturbing discovery as emergency crews rushed this and the note that the driver left behind. donald trump is expected to file appeals as he fights to keep his name on multiple 2024 b ballots. the major legal action expected today. i'm john berman. this is "cnn news central."

we want to begin this hour with breaking news out of japan. a japan airlines plane bursts into flames after a it collided with a japanese coast guard aircraft on runway in tokyo. it shows the moments of impact after the jet landed at the airport hours ago. you can see in the video the japan airlines plane bursting into flames as it goes down the runway there. crew members on the coast guard plane were killed. the captain is in critical condition. the crew were preparing to fly to japan to help with earthquake relief. 400 passengers and crew were on the japan airlines flight and were able to escape. 17 people reportedly were hurt. let's bring in will ripley who joins us live from tokyo. what's the latest here? what are you learning? >> reporter: just within the last up can the hours, the japanese prime minister sending the condolences to the family of the crew members. the coast guard has a base next

to the airport, which sits in the heart of tokyo. it's one of the best airports to fly into in japan because of its centralized location right on the bay. you have a beautiful view of the city when you fly in. but on this very busy day, a day that hours after japan was rocked by a massive earthquake you had the coast guard crew trying to get relief supplies to areas hard hit and at the same time, you had a packed airline as jet that was arriving right in the prime of their tourist season. this plane had 367 people on board, including eight children under the age of 2. so you had parents with their kids, you had 12 crew skmebs a fully packed plane. before 6:00 p.m. the local time as this aircraft was landing on the runway, the coast guard aircraft was also on the same runway. how did that happen?

that's the account focus of an extensionive investigation here in tokyo. a nation that prides itself on public transportation, safety, a nation that's never had a single fatality in decades and somehow for whatever reason, that reason to be determined, these two aircraft had a very, very violent collision. both of the planes were flamess in a matter of seconds. passengers on the japan airlines jet described black smoke filling the cabin. they were terrified. parents trying to keep their kids as safe as they could, wondering if they were going to make it out alive. they didn't think they would, especially with when the exit doors in the rear and middle parts of the aircraft were not working properly. but yet through the front exit doors, is and there's video of this emerging on social media, people, one by one, streamed out of each side of the aircraft and in just a matter of seconds, all 400 or so people on that aircraft made it off alive. 17 of them in the hospital with

injuries. when you look at that video of the plane engulfed in flames t took firefighters well over an hour to get the fire under control. the busy hub shut down right now and likely to be shut down for quite some time as they investigate how this happened as they look into the cause of this. but still, the fact that so many people, hundreds of people were able to walk away, even as japan mourns the loss of the five crew members, it's truly remarkable moment at the beginning of 2024, which has been rough for japan given the earthquake first and then this collision on the runway right in the heart of the japanese capital. >> remarkable that hundreds of people were able to escape the flames. will ripley, thank you. with us now is aviation correspondent pete muntean. when you lock the at those pictures and see that plane in

flames, it's a near miracle everyone board was able to get out. j. >> you see the impact in the first two seconds of the video is a wakeup call. not only for aviation, but around the world. etc. personal lu in the united states. we'll get to that in a second. japan airlines flight 516, there was an air bus 350, only 2 years old, came in to land on runway 34. the plane around it had had to go around. we do not know the track specifically because there's no data available from the japan coast guard airplane. six people on board, five are dead. we know that the captain of that flight is in critical condition. what is really striking to me is the communication and the coordination by the crew that made this evacuation so successful. not just the pilots, but all of the crew, the flight attendants

especially, japan prides itself on efficiency. they got these people out in a very short period of time. there you can see the two airplanes. and this big size difference here, it's a much smaller airplane, although it clearly did a lot of damage to the front of that airbus 350. this is the first time a 350 has experienced a hull lus, meaning the airplane is destroyed. what's clear is there was a huge safety failure here in a culture that's incredibly safety conscious. the jap airlines had a spate of accidents in the '80s and '90ss. they have really cleaned up their act. there was an airplane in the wrong place at at the wrong time. and now the question is where the confusion took place. s was it confusion on the part of air traffic control, or was it confusion by one of the crews involved in the japan coast guard flight or in the japan airlines flight. so this is something

investigators need to look at. they will listen to the air traffic control tapes and the communication there to see if anything was garbled. what is interesting here in the united states is that there's been incident after incident of airplanes in the wrong place at the wrong time on the surface of airport. they are known as a runway incursion. we have seen seven of these incidents get so serious that the national transportation safety board has been involved. jfk, the list goes on. this incident immediately reminds me of the austin incident where a fedex flight was coming in to land. the southwest airlines flight was lined up ready to take off. it was in bad weather con conditions, it was dark, it was before dawn. the fedex crew caught the error and went around. in this case, it was dark. it was about a 5:47 p.m. local time. although the weather was pretty good. now the question is whether or not this japan airlines flight

crew was able to see this plane in front of them and why it was there. so a lot of big questions here and investigators really have their work cut out for them. >> no doubt, there are lessons for the airlines. but also maybe for passengers here. i don't mean to be preachy, but this does emphasize the need to listen when they are telling you where the exits are at the fwining of your flight. >> of course, you want to have a good situational awareness any time you're on a commercial airliner. this is why the crew enforces this to you and tries to get you to pay attention, but also they train for this over and over again. these evacuations not only on board the airplane itself, but in buildings and big simulators. they train for these emergencies. what's so incredible is this took place without any injury to anybody on board. 369 people on board. nobody seriously hurt. nobody died. this is something that keeps

coming up in the federal aviation administration reauthorization process as they get their money from congress. and there is a push to restudy the evacuation of commercial flights in the united states. and some have said, especially those in the senate have said they really need to look at this because the simulation that was taken place, the faa did was too sanitized. it wasn't representative of the entire flying public. they may not have included everybody, like those with disabilities or people young or old, it's striking to me here in this incident that some were very, very young on board this flight. they were able to get out okay. also reenforces leave your stuff behind. that only slows things down. it's really important just to get up and go. get to the emergency exit and get out. >> still more to learn here. we'll let you work your sources thank you very much.

let's discuss this more and get more analysis on this. a cnn aviation analyst joins us. good to see you, certainly a dark day for japan. your initial read. what do you think happened here? >> there are many, many lay safety build into the system. we got down to the absolute last layer here in this one, which was the possibility of an orderly evacuation. think we can't underscore enough how successful that evacuations was. the crew did a great job getting them off. if any group of people collectively would listen to a flight crew and do what they are told and follow the rules, it's the people of japan, anybody who has lived there and knows the culture there, they do, in fact, listen to rules and follow rules. so that was really fantastic. there was a great demonstration of the possibilities there. the other thing to think about

here is there's been decades of work on the part of the faa and other organizations to reduce the flammability of the materials that are inside the cabin of an aircraft. and this is an example here, i think, of the success there. that it holds off potential danger from the toxic fumes and the flame enough time to get passengers off if they listen to the rules. we can take that as a half full look at it. there's some dramatic failure in the system, which will have to be identified and worked on. >> how do they do that? once they identify the causes here, walk us through how they officially investigate this. >> you've got three main parties here. you have the flight crew aboard the airbus 350. you have apparently the surviving pilot, the coast guard pilot on the dash. and you have the air traffic

controllers up there in the control tower. and each of them will have a story to tell. they will be interviewed separately. and on top of that, you have lots of recordings. recordings of the air traffic control communications and the cockpit voice record er on the airbus 350. i'm not sure if if that japanese coast guard was similarly equipped. we'll have to see about that. but the parties the involved, the people who made the decisions in this case are all present and with us still to sort of sort out what happened. where the confusion happened, as pete pointed out, it was weather but it was nighttime. it's the busiest airport in the pacific. a lot of adrenaline going with that coast guard crew trying to get needed relief supplies up to the region. so there are a the lot of subtle human factors here that need to be addressed. >> we appreciate the time and the insights today. thank you. >> you're welcome.

car crashes into another vehicle and plows into a crowd outside a concert in new york. two people are dead. why the fbi is now investigating this case as possible domestic terrorism. breaking overnight, a political leader stabbed in the neck at a campaign event. he just got out of surgery. we're learning new details about the attacker. crews racing to rescue more than 100 people trapped in the deadly earthquake in japan. tens of thousands still without power.

welcome back. this morning the fbi is velgting a fiery crash outside a concert in upstate new york as domestic terrorism. two people were killed and five were hurt. it happened outside the kodak center early monday as people were coming out of the concert. police say a ford suv slammed into another leaving the parking lot and both vehicles plowed into the crowd burst into f flames. after the flames were out, first responders found at least a dozen gas canisters in and around a the ford suv. let's bring in brynn gingras. what more can you share about the investigation and also the suspect? >> you pointed out two things that have triggered this could

possibly be domestic terrorism. the fact that there are gas canisters and a car plowed through a group of people. sources are saying they found a suicide note at this suspect's hotel room and a journal. now domestic terrorism is a big umbrella. there has to be some or the of ideology to make it domestic terrorism. when they identified this suspect as michael avery, who is actually from syracuse, but was staying in a hotel in rocheroch, must have been something in the social media accounts, in the note, communications with family members that triggered this could possibly be domestic terrorism and that's why they are involved in this investigation. we're about to get an update. so we'll see where it goes from here. but the initial facts about this, let me tell you a about it. it was really about an hour into the new year in rochesterer at

the kodak center. a thousand people were leaving this venue when this suv plowed into another car that was trying to exit the venue. two people inside the car were killed. others on the sidewalk just trying to cross the crosswalk were injured as well as the driver of that suv jseriously injured. his name is michael avery. it's unclear his status. i want you to hear from a concert goer. >> when we did get outside and saw the carnage of the cars and the one car burnt up and car pieces everywhere and it was surreal to think, wow, this happened right here. >> you can hear and see the pictures of what this explosion caused with all those gas canisters in the area. the fbi is investigating. jttf is involve d. we're getting a news conference in about an hour to the get some details of exactly what happened, but two people killed in an incident. that we know law enforcement in

heightened alert right now, as we have been talking for several weeks now hours into the new year. >> thank you. with us now is senior national security analyst, former assistant secretary of homeland security. the detail here's, a car crash outside a new year's eve concert, gas stcanisters found, note find in the hotel room. fill in the blanks here. what raise this is now to a terror investigation? what does that change? >> so right now, it would change in terms of the lead investigator. right now, it will be the fbi. and that's right. they can always ratchet down. first of all, this is premeditated. just given the suicide note, but also earlier reporting of talk of potentially a rental car. so that is an attribute used by

terrorists and then the explosives or the gas tanks in the car that would have been resulted in a mass casualty event had he been successful. so you're going to start there and then this is where we're careful. there will be a press conference. we know who he is. he has a suicide note and there's a reason why he committed suicide and also tried to kill others. we don't know if that was yet the sort of hate crime terror aspect to it that would justify a federal investigation or does this become horrific, nonetheless, state investigation. >> what could be in the note? we don't have reporting on it, but what are the types of things that could be in the note that put it in the realm of domestic terror. >> suicide often and mostly is a personal crime. people do it by themselves or

sometimes in a family incident, a murder-suicide, but sort of these spec tack larceny suicides, this performtive suicides, they are rare. you want to find out what is it about his mental state that led him to do this. and that would be who was he following on social media, who was he communicating with, and what would be the motivation to commit suicide and to leave a suicide note behind in this fashion. so the press conference is in about 45 minutes. we'll have a sense of what i'm looking at is why does this continue to be a joint terrorism task force investigation and is that because there is something in the suicide note or his family knew something about what that motivation would be. that motivation, once again, could be a number of things. but the terrorism would be

there's terrorism nex us is in terms of the war in the middle east or a domestic terror nex us is related to radicalization on the home front. so lots to wait for. this is rare to have a series of planning for a suicide attack that would then result the in a mass casualty event without some particular motivation that maybe extends beyond personal or mental depression or something else. >> we are expecting this news conference shortly. one of the big questions is this still a domestic terror investigation and if so, why. the answer could be coming within minutes. thank you so much. >> thank you. still ahead for us, donald trump's lawyers are expected to appeal both colorado and maine's

decisions to remove him from their primary ballots. we'll be right bacack.

it could come at any time. lawyers for donald trump are expected to appeal both decisions in colorado and maine. those decisions to remove him from their primary ballots. zachary cohen joins us with what we expect to see over the next few hours. >> we do expect donald trump's legal team to appeal both these decisions. one from colorado, the other from maine. the colorado appeal will go to the supreme court, where they now have the option of taking up this dwe of whether or not donald trump can be removed from these primary ballots by state officials. we have already heard from the secretary of state who is encouraging the supreme court not only to take this up, but to weigh in and weigh in quickly. i have to certificate i if i the names by the end of this week.

i need a definitive answer as to whether or not donald trump's name should be included in there. you get a sense of the urgency from these election officials as the question hangs out there. we expect that trump is going to appeal this decision in maine. that was made by the secretary of state there. that appeal will go to state level courts. we know that both decisions are on hold until the courts in both cases can sort of get this resolved. in maine the state level krcour deadline is the end of this month. but the large expectation here is the u.s. supreme court will be the one with the final say to determine whether they will take him off the ballot. this insurrection ban that's been cited by both cases. >> it will be interesting to see what is inside their filings ask what grounds they cite. thank you very much. let's continue the conversation and bring in senior legal analyst elie honig. always good to see you. this all focuses on the 14th

amendment. remind us of impactly what it says and the key legal issues. >> always start with the tech. let's look at section 3. no person shall hold any a office who shall have engaged in insurrection. it seems sort of common sense and straight forward. however, the problem is the way this is being interpreted and applyied across the states has varied. let's take a quick lock at the landscape. seven states have rejected these challenges. some are still pending a appeal. there are other states where challenges have been withdrawn or are pending in various states that have not yet come to final fruition. but we have colorado and maine, where those challenges have been accepted for the time being. those are also pending ae appeal. we're waiting on trump. the colorado case will be appealed. the next step is the u.s.

supreme court. the maine case hasn't gone through the maine court system. that decision was by the secretary of state. so when trump's team appeals this, they will be appealing into the maine court system. but right here, you can see how much variety there's been in the way states are interpreting and applying the 14th amendment. >> it's a great point. we talked a lot about colorado and maine. great to see the map because it's been all over the place. so is it clear, is it all by certain that the supreme court is going to pick this up? if so, when do they have to make their decision? >> the spreerm supreme court can take whatever they want. it's very, very likely they will take this case. we're talking about a constitutional issue, major implications impact the way this voting and election is going to. ha. and we just don't know. we need some guidance from the supreme court. but it's up to them. in terms of when, part of the beauty is you don't have deadlines. the parties do, but the supreme court itself can basically do what they want. once donald trump's team asks them to take the case, we'll

hear at least a thumbs up or down whether they are taking the case really quickly. >> let's assume they do take the case. what are the the things they are going to be thinking about as we all sort of wonder what's the right decision here. >> there are a lot of legal issues swirling around this. we don't know a lot of these answers, but let me try to break down the maine questions. who decides whether there's bye-bye insurrection and who gets the power to do that? now the constitution tells us congress, u.s. congress shall have the power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this act. donald trump's team is going to say that means congress has to tell us how it works. if they haven't, everyone is out of luck. a challenger will say the states can also do it, which leads us to the second question. if the states have the power, what process do they have to follow? how much due process does donald trump get? now you don't have to give anyone the full criminal level of due process. but colorado gave him a five-day

mini trial with some live witnesses that would be admitted in court and some that probably wouldn't. maine gave less due process with no live firsthand fact witnesses, but trump is going to argue i wasn't given enough. this is adequate for this purpose. and the third question, this is really lawyerly and technical, but does the president count as an officer of the united states? a normal person would go how could it not. there's a way to parse out the language to argue that officer means something separate from the president. the colorado judge at trial level found that there are two different things. i think that's a long shot. i think the president is going to be held ton an officer of the united states. if trump wins on any of these points, he's going to win these cases. the challenge verse to win on all of them. >> but these are the questions that legal scholars are sort of debating back and forth, which is why so many people would like the u.s. supreme court to weigh in.

>> phrased in plain english. >> elie honig, thank you. >> it will be interesting. this just in, a man is now in police custody after allegedly breaking into the colorado supreme court building early this morning and holding a security guard at gunpoint. we're also hearing he fired shots inside. no one was injured. the suspect later called 911 and voluntarily surrendered. this is the same building where the colorado supreme court voted last month to disqualify donald trump for being on the primary ballot. but this is important. there is no reporting on whether this is related to the court case in any way. again, no reporting right now that this break-in is related to the court case in any way. we're going to get much more information on this throughout the morning. stay tuned for that. the race to reach victims in the rurubble of ththe japan earthquakeke, we have e new infoformation jujust in on survivorors.

welcome back. now to the massive rescue effort in japan. it's a battle against time to rescue people trapped under the rubble after that powerful and devastating 7.5 earthquake. officials say the death toll is at 48 with many people injured. the quake sparked deadly fires that destroyed homes is and businesses and this morning tens of thousands of people are still without electricity. >> i'm speaking in a quieter voice because we are at an emergency shelter where survivors of that very powerful earthquake on the western coast of japan are taking shelter. there is no heating right now, so people are sleeping on mats. they are using thick blankets to stay warm. there's no running water. so the japanese self-defense forces are just outside this building handing out water to locals. now we know that in the prefecture close to the

epicenter, which is where we are now, at least 48 people have died. the japanese prime minister has also the said that 120 people are still stuck underneath their homes. now the prime minister has said that they dispatched as many forces as possible to get to these survivors to help them out, but it's been a very difficult. we're in a peninsula. there's only so many ways to get here, but the main road leading into the peninsula has collapsed because of the powerful earthquake. people here in the shelter have told us that they are still feeling a lot of aftershocks from that powerful earthquake. even in this shelter alone, some of the cement pill larcenies have rubble around them from that very powerful quake and the shakes coming afterwords. >> our thanks for that. a horrifying attack in south korea, cameras capture the moment when the main opposition

lead er was stabbed in the neck following a press conference. >> oh! >> he survived the attack and recovering in the hospital following surgery. paula hancocks is watching this story for us. what's the latest? >> he's covering in intensive care, we're being told, after he had vein reconstruction surgery. he was flown to seoul on the south coast for that emergency surgery. what we know happened because it was captured, as you say, on camera. he was touring a new airport that was being built on the south coast. and he was giving comments to reporters on camera. at that point, an individual, police say a man in his 60s stepped forward and asked for

his autograph. the he then attacked him with the knife and caused that damage to his neck. he fell backwards and collapsed before the individual was wrestled to the ground and arrested. now at this point, police say that they don't have a motive, they don't know exactly why he did this, but he is in custody and the investigation is ongoing. now it was a braise attack. it was really in the middle of the day in broad daylight. coming just a few months before local elections here. so there are now concerns for high-profile individuals who are going to be out and about and being very visible ahead of those elections. there was very little security and protection around officials in south korea because the crime rate usually is so low. >> very scary to see something like that. keep us posted. thank you so much. still ahead at home, less than two weeks to go.

the clashing messages in iowa as donald trump's challengers focus on each other instead of the front runner. we'll be r right back.k. to duckduckgo on all your devie

republican candidates are running full speed ahead to the iowa caucuses and the rivalry between ron desantis and nikki haley is front is skpernt subpoena superpacs reported both candidates have released new attack ads days before the first caucus votes are cast. >> ron desantis is lying because he's losing. he called china's florida's most important trading partner. ron desantis, too lame to lead, too weak to win. >> nikki haley pretends to talk tough about china. >> i now officially work for you. >> you can't trust tricky nikki. >> you may have noticed that neither ad mentioned donald trump. it's a recurring theme during this election cycle. let's bring in steve live for us in des moines. what more do with know about the strategy here for haley and desantis in the final days before iowa?

>> reporter: iowans who tuned into the iowa hawkeyes football game on sunday would have seen plenty of ads attacking nikki haley from superpacs and ads attacking ron desantis. but they wouldn't have seen any ads attacking the front runner in this race, and that is because these candidates having failed to solidify themselves as the alternative to donald trump, so now they are focused on pushing out each other and making this a two-person race going into the caucuses in the early nominating states. for ron desantis the focus has been on iowa. his campaign has put a the lot of time and energy into this state. for haley, she is more focused on new hampshire. that's where she is today and will be spending the next couple days going into our town hall on

thursday. her allies have been trying to convince chris christie to exit the race because he's been focusing so much time there as well. and now some christie supporters have also made some cases that maybe it's time to turn to haley as well. >> i was recently a supporter for chris christie as well, but nikki haley is the way to beat trump. >> rahel, we also saw chris sununu the governor of the state to say perhaps it is time for chris christie to bow out of new hampshire, and he has been supporting nikki haley and he has been a strong advocate for her and now perhaps it is time to coalesce around her. >> and he has said that perhaps the campaign has reached a dead end. we will keep an eye on that. thank you for reporting for us there in new hampshire. >> and now, the reporter for the

new hampshire "constitution", but it full steam ahead for the candidates in iowa, but is it really? if they are not going to talk about donald trump who is ahead in the polls? >> it is like the $64,000 elephant question in the room that has been since the beginning of the primary contest, and it was not that long ago in after 2016 that other republicans looked at what happened in the republican primary and said, well, everyone learned from that, but really, they haven't, because it is a parallel of the 2016 race, and iowa is 16 weeks away, and so, you will see that nikki haley and ron desantis are in a face-off on a debate stage without donald trump and without any of the rivals going after

each other, and while trump maintains a, i don't know, 40 or 50 or whatever the polls say this week-point edge in iowa. so, it is full steam ahead, except nobody wants to go after the person who is actually standing there in their way because they are afraid to turn off too much of the stage. >> the debate stage is a cnn debate stage where it appears that the qualifiers are nikki haley and ron desantis and donald trump, and if trump does not show, it is going to be a town hall for nikki haley and ron desantis, and so, now what do we have to learn before the iowa caucuses? >> well, before the iowa caucuses what we have left to learn is that if there is any shift in the messaging from ron desantis or nikki haley, and you know that nikki haley is coming off of a little bit of the rough holiday break. so what does she focus on? of course, we do have left to

learn if chris christie and the mounting pressure does cause him to bow out. i don't expect that to happen before new hampshire, but it could happen, but to me the big lesson that we are looking for is what happens on iowa caucus day. that question is if trump at the end of the day is the frontrunner, but by how much. because, again, if he does not get above 50%, i think that those republicans who want an alternative for trump will say, hey, guys, look, if we actually get down to one trump alternative, we might be able to do this in new hampshire. but that 50% threshold is going to be very telling. >> i hear what you saying there, tia, and to that point, margaret, maybe donald trump's main opponent now is not ron desantis or nikki haley, but it is expectations. >> it is his only opponent, john, is expectations.

i suppose, you know, the court system. yeah, and does it really, i mean, even does that matter? like those expectations would really have to be blown through. new hampshire is a little bit of the outlier of a state in terms of who can engage and who does engage and what that electorate or the primary electorate looks like. so you have got a trump standing pretty strong and very strong now in iowa by all polling. pretty strong in new hampshire, too, by the way, and extremely strong in south carolina. so, you know, when that is the path out of the gate, yes, if you are nikki haley, you have a lot to be feeling good about minus the slavery gaffe last week, and you know, surging from behind in the ranks to probably becoming the strongest challenger, but by dozens of points gaps in these states. so i don't know, i mean,

obviously, we are all going to be watching closely to see what happens, but it is fundamentally hard to see how you overtake the leader if you don't take the leader on, and that is what all of the republican rivals have been contending with. >> tia, quickly, do you think that someone like ron desantis would pull the punches, because he wants to have a political future after iowa and new hampshire? >> i mean, you can argue that everyone but chris christie has been pulling the punches all along at certain junctures, and both nikki haley and ron desantis have indicated that they are open to a political future quite frankly with trump if he is the nominee. so, i think that is part of the calculus of everyone not named chris christie. >> tia mitchell and margaret talev, and it is going to be interesting to see how they handle the questions from iowa voters in back-to-back cnn town

hall events. kaitlan collins and erin burnett will be moderating. >> that is going to be interesting. and now, there is a fiery crash on a tokyo runway, and coming up what we know about the passenger jet that slammmmed into ththe c guard.

i think he's having a midlife crisis i'm not. you got us t-mobile home internet lite. after a week of streaming they knocked us down... ...to dial up speeds. like from the 90s.

great times. all i can do say is that my life is pre-- i like watching the puddles gather rain. -hey, your mom and i procreated to that song. oh, ew! i think you've said enough. why don't we just switch to xfinity like everyone else? then you would know what year it was. i know what year it is. terrifying moments on a runway in
