for the airport. and for some reason, they missed that. assigned altitude. perhaps it was distraction in the cockpit earlier this week, it was revealed a southwest plane from hawaii came within just 400ft of slamming into the ocean back in april, a memo saying a newer first officer accidentally pushed forward the control column. >> lionel moise, abc news, new york. >> well, it is a busy travel season for those going overseas, and europe is on the top of a lot of people's lists this summer. a lead economist at travel site hopper haley berg, says there is more demand in the summer because of school break and also the good weather, but you can get a good deal if you know how to shop, she says. it's a time to act fast and book now, and she recommends skipping the most popular and expensive destinations like london, rome and especially paris, where the olympics are happening this july. >> i recommend reykjavik, copenhagen and stockholm all three are still under 5 or $600.

working together. fbi officers also hit the offices of california waste solutions. we spotted irs investigators there. the company was started by david and victor duong. they were both under investigation by the public ethics commission for funneling money through straw donors to council members. a story first reported by oaklandside in 2020. shengtao allegedly received some of that money. she also traveled with the duong brothers, who funded the trade mission to vietnam last summer. after the fbi left tao's home, mayor tao's partner, andre jones was seen arriving at tao's home with a dog. he came out later with a bag and refused to comment. before leaving. tao was nowhere to be seen. live in studio. lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you lena new this morning, oakland's naacp is calling on mayor shengtao to resign immediately. they sent a statement saying in part, oaklanders deserve a mayor who's

not distracted, fully committed and able to lead the city. the mayor should resign and give the city an opportunity to heal and move forward. the organization says the mayor will be unable to focus on the needs of oakland residents as she, while she is under investigation. abc seven news insider phil matier was there when the raids started. yesterday morning he joined our news team to talk about the recall effort and what the raids mean for the city of oakland. >> no matter what the outcome of this innocence or whatever, you are innocent in the eyes of the law until proven guilty. but in the court of public opinion, if the fbi shows up at your door, a cloud descends upon you. and between now and when she's facing that recall election, this is not going to be resolved. she is going to be constantly under investigation. >> what does it mean for the city of oakland? because city hall was raided, too. >> there are a number of area where oakland really needs leadership and decisive action. and this is just going to further cloud it. it becomes more than political. it becomes

actually running the city. i cannot remember the last time a mayor sitting mayor had their house. and by the fbi >> this is, of course, an ongoing investigation. and you can trust us to stay on top of it. stay with abc seven news to learn about the latest on what's happening with the mayor, how it will affect the city of oakland. we will continue to update abc seven news.com, as well as our abc seven bay area app. >> shocking new developments in a story we've been following about the man accused of intentionally driving his family off devil's slide. a judge has granted him eligibility for a mental health diversion program in lieu of jail time. the decision stunned prosecutors. abc seven news reporter lauren martinez got a legal expert to explain the thinking behind the judge's ruling. the man accused of trying to kill his family by driving off a cliff on highway one will avoid serving major jail time. >> instead, a judge ruled on thursday that the pasadena

doctor is eligible for a mental health diversion program, but prosecutors were expecting more accountability. >> we think when we have a violent crime such as this, this wasn't a man thinking about killing his family. he did everything in his power to kill his family. but that, but it does disappoint us. >> in january 2023, dharmesh patel is accused of driving his tesla off devil's slide in pacifica. firefighters were forced to cut his family, including patel's 41 year old wife, seven year old daughter and four year old son out of the wreckage. it was a drop of 300ft in, first responders said. it was a miracle they all survived. during the investigation, prosecutors said patel's actions were intentional. patel's defense said his actions were due to his mental instability. we spoke with legal analyst stephen clark. >> it's important to recognize that this is a man that took an oath to save lives, not to kill people, and i think the defense demonstrated that this was

completely out of character and never would have happened, but for his mental illness. and they said, look at his prior history. patel facing three counts of attempted murder, had support from his wife, who vouched for him. the fact that his family came forward and said, give him a second chance. this may not have happened if his wife had come to court and said he needs to go to jail, district attorney steve wagstaffe said. >> patel will be released from custody in about three weeks. he will undergo treatment for the next two years while he lives at his parents home in belmont. >> the legislature says we want to look at treatment programs instead of incarceration. the question will be, does doctor patel follow through with his treatment program? >> the judge stated that after review of all the evidence, patel's mental illness was major depressive disorder. there will be a hearing on july first to work out the details in the south bay, lauren martinez, abc seven news new york's governor has signed the bill to restrict
