4:00 pm
delays in stride. good afternoon , i'm karina nova and i'm dionne lim. >> thanks for joining us. the boeing 737 max nines door plug, which flew off after takeoff, has been found. a teacher in portland, oregon, found it in his backyard this afternoon. >> united airlines also found loose bolts during its preliminary inspection of its 737 max nine aircraft. and abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley is live at sfo, with more on inspections and the cascading cancellations of flights. how is it now, leslie? well karina and dionne over 340 flight cancellations today. >> dozens and dozens of them here at sfo, also out of oakland and san jose. we've been hearing a lot about alaska airlines, but actually united now has 79 aircraft grounded out of sfo flights to houston, chicago, l.a. and san diego were among
4:01 pm
the cancellations as passengers frantically tried to book new routes to their desired destination. this couple got a text last night saying their alaska flight from san jose to oahu was canceled, and the value was deposited in an alaska wallet. they ended up today at the sfo united terminal on an alternate flight paid for out of pocket. >> i was being like, tricked, you know, and i wanted to use the credit for taking another ticket for today from alaska. and the price was guess it was double. it was double. they should have made it automatic refunding people's tickets, not really making you call them waiting for 3.5 hours, not being able. i mean, i use the chat option, i use the phone option, i use nothing passengers said they checked in and got their boarding pass only to later get a text saying the flight was canceled. >> but they understood i'd rather be on a plane that's safe . >> i don't want to be sucked out in midair, but the friday night alaska flight on which the door
4:02 pm
plug blew out an oxygen masks dropped has added a frightening new dimension to air travel. >> for many who can't stop thinking about it as they board flights today, i imagine sitting in that seat and having my infant and not being her, not being buckled in, she would have flown right out. >> so it's definitely terrifying to think about it. it's unlocked a new a new mom, fear unite. >> it had 200 flight cancellations monday. there were 140 on alaska. alaska said this morning they got inspection details for the 737 max nine aircraft from the ntsb, but they're still waiting for additional instruction details from the faa. in the meantime, they said, our technicians have prepared each aircraft to be immediately ready for the required inspection when instructions are finalized. united said they've started some preliminary inspections on their fleet of 737 max, nine aircraft and confirmed they've already found loose bolts and other parts on some of the door plugs.
4:03 pm
so again, that means preliminary inspections are underway. but official inspections from what we understand, have not yet begun. and the inspector, we're told, are likely to take around eight hours per plane. karina andean. >> all right. so, leslie, we have that time frame for what we can expect on that end. but what should passengers expect for these cancellations? how long will those continue? >> well, going forward, since the official inspections have not yet begun, it appears as though these cancellations will continue through at least mid week. and as you heard there, the notice of some of these cancellations seems to be coming just hours before the flight. so the local tally we have as of right now is 60 flights canceled at sfo today, six at san jose, two in oakland reporting live at sfo. i'm leslie brinkly, abc seven news. all right, leslie,
4:04 pm
thank you so much. >> hopefully they get things back up and running soon for all those passengers. now we do want to give you some perspective. aviation experts say a door plug isn't really the same thing as a door. it's a component designed to fill a hole in a plane's fuselage, where an optional emergency exit can be placed. some larger boeing planes have extra emergency exits in the back to meet evacuation guidelines, but on planes with fewer seats like the alaska 737 max nines, they aren't required to have extra exits. so a panel is placed over them. >> now, today on our 3 p.m. program, getting answers. abc news aviation analyst john nance addressed why the inspections are taking longer than expected. >> we have to know what we're looking for, not just at the door is there and everything appears to be in good shape. and that's one of the reasons that the inspections have been delayed and not just completed one after another. uh- i'm sure that that's going on right now, and i'm sure that the ability to
4:05 pm
tell precisely what happened, then it flows immediately into the ability to make sure that it can't happen again, to make sure whether it's bolts that might be suspect or whether it was the absence of bolts and where in the inspection process. by the way, should this have occurred? >> now, nance says he has no safety concerns about all versions of the boeing 737. he says the planes are solid as a rock and very reliable, and that alaska airlines safety record proves it. >> more flaring today at the chevron refinery in richmond. the flaring began just before noon today and wrapped up about an hour ago. the flaring was a level one incident, which is the lowest reportable level. chevron is investigating. all right. >> turning now to the weather and certainly the cold is here. we are in for another chilly night. oh it was cold coming into work this morning. >> so let's check in with spencer christian for a first look at the forecast. >> spencer okay, karina and dion. well the good news is our nights are getting a little bit milder than the last two have been uh- though some rain is
4:06 pm
coming our way. that's the big change in our forecast. so let's take a look at the satellite radar composite image. and you can see a little bit of light rain moving into the northernmost part of the state right now. but there is more active weather out to see moving in our direction. and we're going to start to get some rain tomorrow. the approaching storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale is a level one. so for tomorrow morning, we're talking about scattered showers that will begin before the morning commute starts. so look out for rough or rough surf. rather rough surf. easy for me to say. and slick roads less than a quarter of an inch of rainfall, likely from this storm. so let's take a look at the forecast animation starting at 2 a.m, at which point we'll see the first pockets of showers beginning to push into the north bay. by middle of the morning commute, the showers will be more widespread. some of them will be a little bit steadier, a little bit heavier. and then by mid afternoon, we're talking about the storm tapering off and giving way to some partial clearing before the next wave of showers and rainfall will arrive on wednesday morning. that will continue through the day wednesday. so we have two days
4:07 pm
of wet weather coming our way and rainfall totals over the two day period will probably range generally from about a quarter of an inch to just over 4/10 of an inch. i'll have a look at the full accuweather seven day forecast. a little bit later. karina. >> all right. spencer, thank you. in the north bay, an emergency shelter and transitional housing program for homeless youth is in crisis. and it's now facing a crisis of its own. directors say social advocates for youth will close its doors unless it can rally community support. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard is in santa rosa with the details. >> this is about the kids. for us, it always has been and it always will be. >> an urgent news conference called by sonoma county's only lifeline agency for homeless youth directors and supporters, making an appeal to the community to keep the doors open. >> it's important for us to dig deep because if we don't take care of our kids, um, what kind of community are we? >> directors of the 53 year old nonprofit social advocates for youth, better known as, say, admit? it's a big financial ask from potential donors.
4:08 pm
>> the goal is to have $1 million by next week. >> interim director susan fettig says the money is needed to keep say's dream center open, allowing them to restructure and downsize. she says new laws limiting the number of youth, which can be housed here is making this space too large to manage. on top of that, financial contributions have dropped in. >> our youth needs are getting higher and higher, so overall it's like a perfect storm of the need in the community is higher, and there's just not quite as much money covering everything. >> currently, about 67 youth are being housed at, say, shelter and transitional housing center, where they have access to mental health counseling and job assistance. >> that shelter gave me exactly what i needed. they caught me when i was falling, kerri rigo says the youth shelter was a lifesaver when she was 16, helping to de-escalate her family crisis. >> she worries about what will happen to homeless kids if the shelter closes. >> we know and can see all of
4:09 pm
those kids that we've never met, but we know they're there. um, not only today that need sees help, but those tomorrow and in the future that will have zero place to go, zero support at, and we're going to lose some lives as a result. >> sonoma county supervisor susan gorin says she'll meet with shelter staff to find temporary solutions. >> the numbers of transition youth who remain homeless have escalated over the past couple of years, keeping a lifeline open and ready for kids in need is the goal that this emergency is not just an emergency tsay, but the clock is ticking very loudly in sonoma county, cornel bernard, abc seven news tensions flared at san francisco city hall during the board of supervisors hearing today on a gaza ceasefire resolution. >> seven people voiced their opinion about the ongoing israel-hamas war during today's public comment. it was the last meeting before tomorrow's final vote, where supervisor chairs are expected to approve that resolution on the initiative was

cpuc creates rules that benefits the utilities like no other state does, leaving california with the second highest electric rates in the country with no cap to the increases or change in sight. >> the question is, does california have the political will to rein in its rogue, out of control utility fee, or are they going to allow p-g-and-e's to continue to profiteer power off of the backs of california's working families? it's a simple question, and it's going to take the legislature and the governor to answer that question until that time comes, farooqui says. >> people have to combat prices on their own. he suggests switching to a smart thermostat to keep the house at a cost effective temperature. check the ages of your furnace and air conditioners and make sure your home is insulated, farooqui says it may cost money now, but it will save money later. dustin dawsey, abc seven news. all right, let's talk about the colder temperatures and how long it's going to last and all those details now. >> yeah. spencer standing by with the timeline. and i mean it's a very wintry pattern. >> oh of course it is. it certainly is dion and karina. so

the cold, the chill that we had the last couple of mornings is, is easing up a bit, giving way to milder weather. but wet weather is on the way. so let's take a look at live doppler seven and the satellite. and you can see some active weather out to see uh- moving in our direction. and we'll probably be moving in by the time the morning commute begins tomorrow. right now, though, conditions are very calm, winds are quite light, wind speeds under ten miles per hour, and it's a bit milder. as i mentioned than at this time yesterday. in fact, about 2 to 3 degrees warmer in most locations. so let's take a live view and check out current temperature readings. it is 55 right now in san francisco and half moon bay, a 54 in oakland and san mateo, upper 50s at hayward and san jose. the temperature readings right now, mainly the mid 50s up in the north bay, 55 at santa rosa, 5554 degrees at santa rosa, petaluma, napa, fairfield, livermore, concord is at 57 right now. so let's check out our weather headlines for the next few days. tomorrow morning, light scattered showers will be with us. then on wednesday, another round of rain will move through the bay area. thursday,

4:20 pm
about a quarter of an inch to about 4/10 of an inch. now for tonight, mainly dry conditions, of course, with clouds increasing overnight lows where last night? this morning we had low to mid 30s. upper 30s to low 40s tonight. and then tomorrow's highs will be generally in the upper 50s to near 60. and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. so we have two level one storms coming our way tomorrow and wednesday. a mostly sunny day on thursday but no increase in temperatures under those sunny skies. mix of sun and clouds on friday. rain returns on saturday and sunday, both days a level one storms and then next monday partly cloudy and slightly milder. high temperatures moving into the upper 50s to near 60. so the little cool weather we're having right now will begin to ease up a bit. >> we'll get a break. >> well, a short one, a short one, yeah. >> we'll take it. >> winter is keeping us busy. thank you. yeah well, san francisco is on the short list of contenders to receive a panda from china. >> abc seven news obtained a

4:44 pm
i'm happy that it won because i thought it was an amazing film. i just loved it. yeah but i haven't seen the others. and so who am i to judge? >> yeah. chris, what about you? >> i haven't seen the movies, but i did enjoy succession. it's one of my favorite shows, so i can see why that got so many awards. >> okay, maybe i'm the one with a lot more time on my hands, i did. i watched barbie and oppenheimer and i loved both of them. so i'm glad they both won. and the bear also got some awards and yes, succession that they walked away. big winners as well. so it's fun to watch. and there was a lot of good speeches and it was actually funny too this year. all right. but there is already a controversy surrounds the march 10th oscars. the barbie movie will compete under adapted screenplay category rather than original screen play. the movie was written by greta gerwig and her husband, noah baumbach, and one director slammed the decision, writing it's insulting to the writers to say they were working off of existing material, and the writers guild of america said that this is an original work, so they are standing by
