make an emergency landing after a gaping hole opened up in the jetliner right in the middle of the flight. nbc's priscilla thompson is watching the story. she has the latest on it. priscilla, how did this happen? >> reporter: peter, good morning. the faa and the ntsb are investigating that after what appears to have been a pressure issue leading to scary moments on board that alaska airlines flight. you see it appears an entire side panel was blown off the plane mid air leaving a gaping hole on the side of the plane. one passenger described it as about the size of a refrigerator. i want to play for you some of the call to air traffic control from on board that plane. take a listen. >> we are justdepressurized. we do need to return back. we have 173 passengers.

>> reporter: as you can hear, some very scary moments. you see the oxygen masks deployed across the plane and also that wind that was just rushing inside. all of this happened just minutes after takeoff on that plane bound from portland, oregon to ontario, california. thankfully there were no serious injuries. there were some personal items that were lost after sucked out of the plane. as for what happens now, alaska airlines is grounding all of the boeing 737 max 9planes until they have a full opportunity to do maintenance and safety inspections which should be completed within a few days. peter. >> hard to imagine people recording that. priscilla thompson, thank you. now to the major winter storm making its way up the east coast today. it could bring heavy snow to some places in the northeast. the first time in years.

angie will have the forecast in a moment. let's begin with nbc's parra in atlanta. marissa, good morning. >> reporter: laura, good morning. the storm is bringing light rain to atlanta right now. this system brought rain to texas. you see flooded streets. cars driving through flooded streets in galveston. this is already caused serious problems on the roads in places like winslow, arkansas. you can see roads covered in a sheet of ice with semi trucks and cars stuck. snow blanketing places like kansas as the storm moves through the middle of the country. now states in the northeast, well, it is your turn. we see familiar sights in new jersey and virginia and new york and massachusetts as snow plows are on standby. people are stocking up and salted roads and sand bags atted

ready. back out her live. laura and peter, millions are in the path of the winter storm. good time to dust the rust off the snow shovels and get your favorite movies ready. maybe we didn't have a white christmas, but you will have a snowed in weekend. >> something the kids can look forward to. you have to dig out of the snow. >> no doubt. i want to bring in angie lassman with a better look at the storm. this is a huge swath. these are the people we are looking to be impacted, guys. good morning. we have the winter alerts up for 43 million people. they extend from the interior mid-atlantic up to new england. that system is on the move. right now, snow is draped across the great lakes and into the ohio valley and rain, heavy rain, through the southeast. the good news is the rain will taper off here as we go through the day today. we see this system lifting into the northeast and mid-atlantic and becoming really impactful

for folks in the new england area as well as we get through sunday. there is the heavy snow and ice. we see potential for strong winds. that makes travel difficult with the additional snowfall with the heavy snow bands setting up across the portions of new england and dumping snow for folks there. we are still dealing with snowshowers and we will see the slick travel for sunday plans as well. the totals, i know that's what you want to see, as far as rain, maybe up to 1 inch in spots. localized flooding. as far as the snow totals are concerned, if you live north or west of i-95, you will see significant numbers. albany and hartford and boston could see significant snow. up to 1 foot in spots. if it you live in new york, it will start as snow in the afternoon hours with 1 inch. you will see that transition into cold rain. any accumulation we do see will be washed away by rain.

philadelphia and washington, d.c. will continue their snow drought that we have been seeing for a couple of years now. the poconos and upstate new york, that is where the significant snowfall will be and that's likely where you will be shoveling out. don't forget about the ice accumulation. power outages are possible across the mid-atlantic. something to watch for today. >> the black ice can be dangerous. angie, thank you. to major news breaking this weekend. the u.s. supreme court agreeing to decide if former president trump should be kicked off the 2024 ballot in colorado today. today is the three-year anniversary of the attack on the capitol that led colorado to make that move. we he will have the story covered from all angles begins with allie raffa. >> reporter: laura, good morning. the supreme court with the

majority after former president trump's three appointments will hear oral arguments on february 8th. less than a month before super tuesday in more than a dozen states, including colorado, which is barring the frontrunner from appearing on the ballot because of his actions on january 6th. the high court is set to a apply to all 50 states. this comes hours after president biden's first campaign event of the year near valley forge, pennsylvania, ahead of the three-year anniversary on the capitol. the president using the anniversary to begin his fiercest attacks yet and warning of the second presidency. he called his predecessor sick and a loser. arguing trump and his movement are an existential threat to

democracy. >> trump's not concerned about your future, i promise you. trump is now promiing a full-scale campaign of revenge and retribution. he went on to say he would be a dictator a day one. >> reporter: the president's message, while pointed, still leaving some questioning if it is enough to motivate voters in november. >> allie, thank you. nine days to go until iowa's first caucus. former president trump and republican rivals campaigning across the state. the former president weighing in on the supreme court decision to take up the colorado ballot case and again defending his supporters who stormed the capitol on this day three years ago. nbc's dasha burns is in clear lake this morning.

>> reporter: peter, good morning. former president trump also addressed january 6th during the campaign stop in iowa. he didn't spend too much time responding to president biden's speech. he continued the false claims that the election was rigged. he called the supporters that attacked the capitol hostages. he responded in real-time to the supreme court taking up the case in colorado. he claimed that republican judges that he, himself, appointed might try to go out of their way to rule against him to say they are fair and unbias. he said he picked three isn't that right people. mr. trump has made legal troubles central to the political strategy and fund raising off court cases. these come as he and his opponents are making closing arguments to iowa voters. mr. trump hoping for a record victory and his rivals hoping

for a surprise upset. all of them fanned out across the state today. >> dasha, you are in the final days in iowa. you sat down with several of the candidates, including nikki haley. what is she saying? >> reporter: in her interview, former ambassador nikki haley argued she has a path to victory with a strong showing in iowa and new hampshire where she has made gains on mr. trump. she criticized the chaos that surrounds the former president. when it comes to his felony charges, here's what she said. >> i don't worry about it. for me, i want to beat him fair and square. i'm not looking for him to fall in a court case or thrown off the ballot. i want to beat him because i don't think he's the right person to go forward. >> reporter: she also defended her conservative credentials as polling has shown iowa voters

see her as too moderate. she said she would go further on issues like immigration than trump did. saying he didn't do enough on the border. laura. you know, peter, i got to nerd out with you for a second because it strikes me how fast the supreme court on this ballot issue is moving. the former president filed his brief on wednesday by friday they have already granted the case now, this is not a body that ever moves fast. they move very, very slowly. to have them do this i think shows the urgency and suggests they might make a decision before the primary >> and they recognize the political realities here >> they recognize obviously they are knee deep in one of the pivotal issues, did, in fact, he commit an insurrection on that day. look for them to take an off ramp if they want to, they don't have to decide that issue there's like ten threshold issues they could decide and they don't have to reach the thorny one about the insurrection >> simple terms for americans

right now. it is not just about the primary ballot but could impact the general election, right? >> across all 50 states, a decision that could impact them all. >> we are glad you are here to help us understand we want to move to overseas. antony blinken is crisscrossing in the days ahead trying to prevent the war in gaza turning into a wider regional conflict nbc's josh lederman is in tel aviv with the latest josh, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, peter. secretary blinken has arrived in the middle east on this frenetic tour of the region, eight countries in a week including a stop in israel right now he is meeting in turkey with president erdogan who the u.s. hopes will persuade iran and its proxies not to escalate this into a regional war. the state department says blinken will have touch conversations with israel's government about gaza's future after the war. the israeli military released a plan saying that idf will control security but palestinians will govern

themselves it is light on details including a new task force israel wants the u.s. to oversee gaza's reconstruction aid to gaza has been stalled and the u.n. warns gaza's children are suffering more than ever nine in ten kids under the age of 2 now face severe food poverty. one father in gaza told nbc news he tried and failed for three days to find a can of milk, and so he is now feeding his baby warm water instead but israel is signaling this war will continue for a month. a military spokesman telling nbc so far israel has killed or captured about 8,000 hamas fighters since the start of the war, but that is just a third or even less of the some 30,000 fighters israel believes hamas had when the war started, peter. >> josh lederman with the latest from israel again. josh, thank you. now to this. one person is dead after a tour bus crash on a highway in upstate new york on friday police say the bus rolled over

in the resort town of lake george while traveling from montreal to new york city. officials say there were 23 people on board. the bus operated by skyway coach lines. 13 were taken to local hospitals with injuries. the cause of that crash is being investigated a former colorado police officer was sentenced to 14 months in jail in the 2019 death of elijah mcclain. randy rodomo was among the three officers charged in the case but the only one found guilty of criminal negligent homicide and third degree assault police stopped the young black man, elijah mclean, in the denver suburb while he was walking home wearing a ski mask. mclean had a medical condition his family said made his cold. a 911 caller had reported that he looked suspicious he was taken down and administered a fatal dose of the sedative ketamine. his death received new attention after george floyd was murdered by minneapolis police in 2020.
