curriculum for new hire maintenance technicians. should passengers be concerned? >> i don't think the traveling public needs to be concerned. the regulatory authority is going to make sure that united airlines is providing the safe service that the traveling public is entitled to. >> reporter: the last deadly airline crash was in 2009 when a plane crashed into a home outside buffalo. since then, there has been one death due to an airliner. >> thank you. today, a first for the in n out burger chain. it closed a location for the first time. it shuttered this oakland, california, location due to, quote, ongoing crime issues. even though it was profitable. straight ahead, we visit one of islam's holiest sites, sitting at the very center of the israeli/palestinian conflict. a championship performance on ice like no other.
