minutes can actually help gently awaken the mine -- right -- right than jolting you back to wakefulness. thank you for being part of the real story. shepard smith is on deck. >> fury and now violence as relatives of the passengers of the missing airliner reach the boiling point. they demand answers, and evidence that flight 380 did indeed crash into the sea. today are we really any closer to knowing what actually hand? the search continues for any signs of life after the devastating mudslide in washington state, and now, now we have the frantic 9-1-1 calls. >> what does it look like to jump off the world trade center? here's how you find out. let's get to it.

breaking news. "shepard smith reporting" live from the fox news deck. >> the breaking news, we just confirmed that russian forces have successfully captured a ukrainian navy ship. this is important because it is said to be the last one that ukraine had in crimea. and it does not have any more important military facilities or bases left in that entire area. as our reporter covering the region says, it is essentially the end of ukraine's military presence in all of crimea. we have a picture of the ship. about three hours ago russian forces reportedly used some sort of explosive to take out the ship's steering, and that the crew barricaded themselves inside. russians are said to have used three speed boats, one commandeered tug boat and two helicopters. all happened in a bay along the northwest coast of crimea. the russians had tried to take this same ship just yesterday but they couldn't do it. and they took it instead another ship. we're following this story very

closely and will have updates throughout this hour. >> dangerous storms and enormous waves are keeping search teams from looking any more closely for the missing jet. just another set baeck for heartbroken families who today made it clear they've had enough. relatives of the hundreds of people on the missing jet rushed the malaysian embassy in beijing. they chucked water bottles and called the malaysian government liarses. they latched out of malaysia airlines sent them text messages saying they're loved ones were all dade. the prime minister later said satellite data proves to him the plane went down in the southern indian ocean with no hope for any survivors. some relatives now accuse the government and that airline of holding back information, and wasting critical time in the search. [shouting]

>> crimea today demanded the malaysian government turn over the satellite data, and even if it's true the jet crashed where they say there's still no explanation for what it was doing over the southern indian ocean in the first place. look how far from the planned route to beijing. up here on the wall. kuala lumpur is here and headed north, and here's their search area. nasty weather there grounded search teams for the day. investigators say they narrowed the search to this area in the indian ocean. it's about 1460 miles to the south and west of perth, australia. the area is bigger than the size of the state of alaska, and officials warn this search will not be easy. >> the analogy, we're not searching for a needle in a haystack. we're trial trying to define where the haystack is.

>> don't even yet know where the haystack is, and making matters harder, the choppy seas could stir up any debris from the plane or cause floethe pieces to stop floating. we have live coverage. lea is here and let's start with janice dean and the weather complicating the search. >> we had a cyclone, equivalent to a category 4 hurricane last night. now down to what we call a tropical storm, but bringing very cloudy and rainy conditions along the west coast of australia and that could hinder search crews, as well as a frontal package move -- we're going to see another system move in on thursday. the good news is, as we head do into the weekend, we have high pressure building in, which is almost unheard of for this time of year, across the southern indian ocean, and several days for search crews to get in there. so, right now we're dealing with

water temperatures in the 40s, air temperatures in the 40s, but the rough weather will continue. a quick period of clearing and then, shep, another system moves in. but by the weekend we'll have self days of great -- several days of great weather. >> now more on the families losing patience, calling the airline executioners and killers. lea is live in number. these families have gone for two weeks with basically nothing. >> we know the majority of the peaks were chinese and they're families want answered. some family members clashed with police trying to reach out to media members members who are ka separate area. >> we just want the truth and if you make a conclusion with no exact evidence, just from analysis from the satellite data, why you make that conclusion? why you make the conclusion that

no one is alive? that none of them survived. down believe that. >> for now malaysia airlines is paying each family $5,000. the airline says that's just an initial payout for them to start dealing with expenses. >> airline officials are now talking about the decisions they've made. the decision to send relatives the text message with the bad news? it was my understanding that was an agreement the airlines had with the families in advance, but sounds like that's not the case. >> well, shep, i know that's been a frustration for a lot of the family memberes. but malaysia airlines was saying that was a last ditch effort to get word to families before the prime minister announced it. they said the informed family members in person or by phone whenever it was possible and as for the anger towards the malaysian government in a public speech the prime minister said, quote, we're not hiding any information from the families and the public. it is a tough mission in a difficult area, and it is an unprecedented event in aviation

history. and, shep, that is one of the very few things that officials can tell families for sure in this entire incident. >> thanks. joining us now defense attorney angine gomez. i read the $5,000. what an unbelievable insult but that's temporary. >> it's faulty but temporary. under the airline treaty they can actually get up to $175,000 per passenger. these are the victims' families, and there could be more if other lawsuits are to follow. for example, if malaysian airlines is unable to prove or unable to disprove that they are negligent, they were negligent in this situation, or if, for example, this wasn't the cause of an intervening force, let's say, terrorism or some malfunction of the plane, then the victims' families can sue for much more money.

>> you have this circumstance where in some cases here, the primary bread winner of a family might have died on the crash, or even the primary caregiver to children might have died on this crash, and there are enormous voids left in families, some which can be filled with money and some which frankly can't. >> exactly. you're absolutely correct, shep. that this problem here. one of the other options they can pursue to get more money is to sue in the u.s. courts. how does that happen when majority of the passengers are chinese citizens? you have three u.s. citizens who can file for class action status. then you have other nationals who can opt out or choose to proceed with the classification. and that's how they get into the u.s. courts. and malaysian airlines has offices in too united states so that provides personal jurisdiction. in order to withstand a dismissal action by malaysian airlines, they're going to say

this is not the right venue. is to have another defendant nat that is u.s. based. if there's a design defect in the plane, if some other malfunction, perhaps boeing or some other u.s. corporation, that could be a plausible defendant but at this point we don't have any evidence, any parts of he wreckage isee if they can go after the malaysian government which is part opener in the airlines. >> exactly. >> good to see you. >> thank you. >> breaking news now out of houston, texas. this is a fire that we showed you in the last hour with gretchen. it is an incredible inferno. look at this blaze. it is powering over the skyline, sending smoke across the houston area. these pictures from our station kriv, fox in houston, this video from the station a short time ago. what a disaster. 200 emergency personnel have been on scene at this huge fire at an apartment complex.

the important thing about which i was unclear before the last few minutes, this is just a construction zone. it's my understanding that nobody was living in this five-store apartment complex. it is up and basically gone. this is west dallas street, at marconi. officials say no reports of a single person injured. look at the new video just moments ago. you can see part of it collapse there before our eyes as the chopper hovered above. our crews are on the ground. we're working to make sure that nobody was injured in this thing, and authorities are trying to figure out how it got started. a massive fire at a construction zone apartment complex in houston. just now hearing the frantic 9-1-1 calls that came in moments after a massive mudslide wiped out an entire community in rural washington state. everything is gone. the houses are gone. >> the houses are gone.

the search for survivors continues even now. authorities say more than 100 people are still listed as missing. we'll get a live report next. this is "shepard smith reporting" on fox news channel. america's choice for news and information on cable. you get 4 lines onw at&t's network...ilies including unlimited talk unlimited text ...and 10 gigs of data to share. 10 gigs? 10 gigs. all for $160 dollars a month.

resources in crima, president obama says russia's takeover of crimea is not a done deal. the president made the comment while speaking at the international income nuclear security. >> it's up to russia to show itself to be willing to abide by international rules. and international norms. and itself it chooses to do so there can be a better outcome. >> president obama also says russia will face more financial punishment if it moves further into ukraine. russian officials also have said that they have tens of thousands of soldiers in several areas just across ukraine's eastern border. and ukrainian troops have been withdrawing from crimea. video shows some of them piling into buses and leaving a base that russian forces have overtaken. meantime, the russian president,

vladimir putin, has shown no signs of backing down. he is, as he would remind you, tough guy. in pictures to show you because we can. here's president putin in martial art. he has a higher degree black belt in taekwondo than chuck norris. here he is in a formula one racecar. he drove one of this all by himself. he reportedly hit 150 miles an hour and is said to have spun out. i'm not sure who gave the report. he likes to take his shirt off and is featured in a comic series called, superputin. not kidding. a big dog lover. there are all sorts of photos with him with dogs. here he is with all the president's men and a dog. but the public has never seen him with his two daughters. in fact he keeps their identities a secret.

president putin, the last picture in our series. we have none of him in his former kgb outfit. >> a fox urgent now on a story we brought you at the top of the news hour. fox news confirmed that russian forces have city -- successfully captured a ukraine navy ship. they used three speed boats, and helicopters. and said to have used some sort of explosive to take out the ship's steering. this happened in bay along the northwest coast of crimea. the russians tried to take the vessel yesterday. we got the reports another of crimea, but couldn't do it so they took another ship. inge now the president of the council on foreign religiouses and the director of policy plannings for the deposit state from 2001 to 2003, a principle adviser to secretary of state colin powell. >> does this represent the last

of the ships that couldn't be used. >> this completes the consolidation of russian control over all things crimean. >> and president obama says that the overtaking of crimea is not a done deal. i find that hard to understand. >> hopefully he is right in the long-term, over the long run of history, about for the foreseeable future it's a fait accompli. the only way it changes would be years down the road, and a very different political constellation. >> you wonder what is the action that would cause, say, maybe equal and opposite reaction from the west, if he went into the east of ukraine does that produce something more dramatic than we have seen? >> for sure. what you would seees the europeans, who thus far have been quite resistance to syrian sangses, would then agree to a much more series of sanctions potentially against russian financial institutions, not just the 17th largest bank.

against russian energy produces and the europeans said they can live with crimea. they don't like it but they can live with russian control of crima. they want to keep their powder dry to be used to deter or respond to russian aggression against other parts of ukraine. >> you know, some of the lawmakers in ukraine, authorities there, are coming under a lot of pressure. if you were in kiev right now and watching a television channel, there would be a ukrainian flag in the upper left-hand side of the screen and the transition will be, ukraine united. they've been criticized because they didn't react quickly enough to hear it from critics to what russian did in the first place. your sense of what else they might have done. >> not a whole lot. the ukraines are showing enormous discipline. there haven't been a lot of incidents. this shows a realization on their part they don't want to give mr. putin anymore excuses or opportunities to expand his

position. the real focus of the ukrainians ought to be less military resistance in crimea, than it should be putting their economic and political house in order. if the rest of ukraine is stable and becomes a functioning country their firefighter irmore assured than it does if they return to their past pattern of enormous corruption and political dysfunction. >> the enormous corruption and political dysfunction has not disappeared. what has happened is the price of energy has gone up because the russians have sent it up, and this is in a country where there are already 15 billion or more in the hole. how do they dig out? >> they can't dig out. we have to along with the europeans and through the imf, provide them enormous amount, 10, 15, $20 billion of economic support. that's the only way to get through it and one of the things

i'd like to see is a different u.s. policy towards increasing both oil and gas exports. let's see if we can't reduce the leverage that russia gains from its near monopoly on energy supplies to countries like ukraine. >> i know many parties are trying to do just that. good to see you. thank you. >> thank you. >> three days after the huge landslide destroyed an entire community in washington state, investigators say they still don't have any idea how many people are actually missing. the latest on this american disaster coming right up. ok, here's the way the system works. let's say you pay your guy around 2 percent to manage your money. that's not much, you think except it's 2 rcent every year. does that make a difference? search "cost of financial advisors" ouch! over time it really adds up. then go to e*trade and find out how much our advice costs. over tispoiler alert.dds up. it's low. really? yes, really. e*trade offers investmen advice and guidance from dedicated professional financial consultants.

just into the fox news deck. the buffalo bills president, russ brandon, says the team owner, ralph wilson, has died. he was 95 years old. wilson is a legendary nfl owner

who formed the buffalo bills in 1959. and was the last living member of the original american football league, afl, owners. a group known as the foolish club. he is also a member of the pro football hall of fame. the team says wilson died peacefully at his home with his wife and daughter at his side. ralph wilson, the founder and owner of the buffalo bills, dead today at 95. the search for survivors continues right now following that massive mudslide that devastated a small washington state up to over the weekend. authorities confirmed at least 14 people are dead but 176 are missing. now the frantic 9-1-1 call that came in moments after the ground gave way. listen. >> a mudslide. everything is gone. the house are gone. i'm on highway 530. there's not a house here anymore. >> any injuries?

>> yes. people yelling for help. >> that mudslide happened here in a small rural community about 50 miles outside of seattle to the north and east. officials say it destroyed about 30 homes. debris blocking a mile-long stretch of state highway near the town of arlington. family friends and neighbors used their bare hands to dig through the wreckage, looking for any signs of life. a few hours ago, one family who lost everything, got some good news. they found their dog, named buddy, alive. buddy was covered in dirt, had few gashes, but they tell us he is okay. as for the fate of all of those people who are missing, well, that is another matter. dan springer has the latest. there's been an increase in this search effort out there. is that right? >> reporter: that's right, shep. a dramatic increase. local, state and federal assets are all here. there's a national guard unit here. you have a federal urban search and rescue team from fema, and

you also sadly have a state mortuary assistant team to handle what is expected to be a large number of bodies recovered. the job is so overwhelming, officials today sent out a team of 60 local volunteers to help despite conditions that they say remind too unstable and dangerous to allow the media to get very close. you also have loved ones of the many people still missing, going in with chainsaws, although that's being discouraged. no one has been found alive since saturday, and we now have a picture of a dramatic rescue of a four-year-old boy who was waste high in mud. even this good news is tragedy. the boy's three siblings and father are among the missing. a neighbor tried to comfort him. >> so they brought him to us in the ambulance, and i took all his clogs off because he was -- his clothes off because he was freezing, and i cleaned hip up and said i was grandma. >> that boy's mother was not at

home at the time of the mudslide on saturday. she reunited with him at the hospital later that day, and now they wait for word like everyone else. >> dan, i've been reading today, it's not as if they didn't have some concerns about this very thing happening, and taste not a brand new concern. >> no. these concerns go way back, shepard. there was a 1967 landslide in the area, and then in 1999 a pea geologist with the army corps of engineers actually did a report on this hillside, and concluded that it was potentially an area of catastrophic failure. this was in 1999. seven years later in 2006, there was indeed a failure of the hillside. it wasn't major. i was significant, because some of the debris got down into the river. this was possibly triggered, this event we had here this weekend, possibly triggered by a small earthquake three weeks ago. people started to see some of

the debris going down the hill0. of the 49 structures destroyed, 29're permanent full-time homes. some built after the 1999 report. but right now, all the focus is on finding a miracle. >> miracles happen. and when those houses went down, if someone was in the right spot, and didn't get injured severely, could be in a pocket. >> i believe miracles and i believe people can survive these events. they've done it before and can do it again. >> reporter: now officially they're calling this a recovery and a rescue operation going on simultaneously. >> dan, on scene, thank you. here's the situation we're dealing with. 176 people missing. their hope is that some of these people just haven't reported in. that some of these people are off and safe somewhere, because what they're telling us about what they've seep from the victims they found in the wreckage is very difficult think about or talk about.

people who have been dismembered. where parts of their bodies have been found in different places. where clothes have been ripped off the people who were there, as if the land had just came by and tore people apart. their fear is that when they get in there, there will not be air pockets. their hope is that there aren't 1 176 people still in there coining coverage coming up in the hunt for the malaysian airline flight 370. the search area is bigger than the state of alaska. details ahead.

a quick update on the breaking news out of houston, texas. the eform mouse fire in an -- enormous fire in a construction

site. a man was preparing to jump. he was not hurt. and crews have also downgraded the fire to a three alarmer but they say the wind is a huge issue for them this afternoon. right now they're working to protect nearby buildings. more than 80 units went to this scene with more than 200 firefighters and others. we have an instagram picture that shows us the smoke risings above the thing, and just towering site there on the streets of houston. crews are asking anybody in the area to stay away from dallas street and marconi. don't know who that is. continuing coverage on the hunt for the missing malaysian airlines jet. officials narrowed the search area to an area slightly bigger than the size of the state of alaska. that's according to malaysia's defense minimummer. let's get to rob over here. rob, when you look at this area, it's still massive. >> oh, yeah. what happens is, according to

malaysian defense minister, they stopped looking in the northern corridor, and all the focus is in the south, and although it's 20% of where they were working -- you have perking -- perth right here -- there are few zones and that is more than 622,000 square miles. >> incredible. >> that's the needle in the -- the haystack they were looking for. >> still looking for the haystack. several countries pitching in with special equipment that could help find the data recorders, officials say a deep sea black box locater is on its wait to australia but a time could be running out. my jet black box is built to send out signals a minimum of 90 days after a crash. it's as if the battery is dying and the bat is i set to last 30 days. maybe you get another four or five days but that's it. so on the outside it has two or three weeks left. i want to get to jennifer

griffin whose live at the pentagon. when are those u.s. navy underwater search vessels set to get there? i know it's a long haul. >> the officials say the towed pinger locator and the blue fin, the underwater drone that can match the ocean floor, are on the same flight to perking and should be landing six hours from now at 9:45 in the morning wednesday in australia. because they have not established a debris field yet, it's not clear whether these instruments will be employed right away. the towed pinger locate you're, the hydrophone that can here sounds 20,000 feet underwater, will be towed hip an australian commercial ship. it will take at least four days for both devices to be shipped to the search area. they will be sent out on separate ships. >> one thing here. do we know when this search might actually be able to begin? >> well, it won't be clear until sunrise in the next few hours whether they can fly again.

in australia, all search planes were grounded for 24 hours due to a typhoon. >> aircraft behind men or the ground because it's unsafe to fly down there. remember, this part of the world, this southern ocean, has shipwrecked many, many ships in our history in western australia. >> there's a reason they call this area of the ocean the roaring 40s. one of the most remote places on earth. navy officers say their ships never cross through the sector of ocean because the waters there are seen as so rough and dangerous. >> jennifer griffin is live. good to see you. >> let's get more on the investigation of the missing plane. kyle bailey here is an aviation analyst and a pilot himself. what is your thinking on where we are now? >> i pretty much am leaning towards a mechanical issue? >> why. >> possibly an electrical issue.

with the lithium batteries onboard the aircraft, little concern. >> if there is some sort of catastrophic event -- and that would qualify -- whoa would the jet make this what appear to be preprogrammed jaunt into an area which it didn't belong for seven or eight hours? >> there's a little bit of question whether it was preprogrammed or not. i think immediately the pilots want to make a 180 or left turn to get back to just lan to -- land the airplane. they might have preprogrammed actually the closest airport into the system, and then the plane might have just kept on going. >> so it's possible that the system which controls the navigation of the jet, would have malfunctioned in a way that would have just sent it going until it ran out of fuel? >> not necessarily. the pilots would have put publish the nearest airport in there and then, say, something -- it was a fire that was smoldering or burning and then the pilots became incapacitated. the airplane would keep going in a straight line. >> so maybe once it hit -- the

last way opinion it was programmed it would just keep flying in that direction? that would land it in the middle of know where? >> gallon, until ill ran out of fuel. >> can you see why they didn't send out a may day. >> unless it was such a catastrophe event are so so just preoccupied or blinds with smoke in the cockpit. that's the only thing i can think of. i'm surprised that the -- some were seattle-water activated so i'm concerned why there was no elt signal to the satellites when the plane crashed in the salty ocean water. >> the item he is mentioning include one that would be activated on hard impact. >> that's correct. >> another type that would be activated when water oar salt water hit it. >> exactly. >> another that would send indications there was some sort of cataclysmic event or fire that happened. before systems failed there we

about smoke or increased temperature, and none of that happened. >> well, see on the flight data recorders but there's a chance when they get the recorders, if that was an act of piracy, there may not be data on the recorders if they pulled a couple of circuit breakers. >> only a half hour of voice recorder. >> there should be two hours on this airplane. >> doesn't help much. >> we're talking four or five hours. >> before we go. both jet engines, except by some extraordinary happenstance, would not a run out of fuel at the same time. let's say the left engine runs out of fuel and the right engine keeps going. doesn't continue to fly straight. all we learned in class at school tells us that would create this sort of thing. >> well, the auto pilot would try to keep it straight until the forces became so extreme where the auto pilot would give up and then kick out. so that could have been the case.

>> so it's possible that this plane might have cork-screwed or spiraled and smash into the ocean surface and that would have caused an enormous breakup that could have disintegrated the jet. >> that's true. the only bit of positive news as far as run out of fuel. unlike twa8 on which exploded, with the lack of fuel on the airplane there wouldn't have been a huge fire ball on impact. so hopefully we'll get a lot of evidence and good information from that. >> question know that didn't happen because it flew to the range of its fuel capacity. >> exactly. >> kyle bailey. man, there's a lot to learn. >> tide you see this? the daredevil who decided to jump off the new world trade center? daredevil got it caught on camera. now daredevil will pay. wait until you see the video. we asked people a question, how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last.

i was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ eating healthier,tion byady for a longer retirement. drinking plenty of water, but still not getting relief? try dulcolax laxative tablets. dulcolax is comfort-coated for gentle, over-night relief. dulcolax. predictable over-night relief you can count on.

quarter until the hour. police arrested three daredevils

for base-jumping from the tom top of one world trade center tower, drop of more than 1300 feet. here's the video. >> not a bad view. you can see where the parachute -- you can see the daredevil floating down to the street. the cops arrested an accomplice as well and win of the jump issues worked construction at the world trader in site. laura ingalls is here. hope this doesn't become a pattern. could end poorly. >> that's right. wasn't easy to track these guys down. after nearly six months, police arrested the men who dared to not only take the plunge but also challenge security at one of the top terror targets in our country.

now, in all four men were arrested yesterday in connection with this stunt. three base jumpers and a man serving as a lookout. they were arraign opened charges of burglary, reckless endangerment and a misdemeanor, jumping from a structure. here's the video again giving viewers the first-hand account what it look like to fall from 1700 feet. investigators identified the men by tracking a car spotted on video, then obtained the helmet cam footage after serving sample warrant foes jumper's home. one jumper told reporters it wase to gain access through a hole in the fence. >> one of the first thing mist client said to me was how surprised he was at how there was no security whatsoever. how easity was to just walk right up there and something that the mayor has just recently described as the number one terrorist target in the world.

>> the part authority of new york, new jersey, which owns the property, issued this statement. we have it here for you. the port authority joins the nypd in condemning this lawless and selfish act. one of the jumpers work construction and violated the spirit and respect of reference for this sake sacred site. this is falling on the heels of the 16-year-old who was busted last week for also sneaking into the tower and making his way to the top undetected. >> all from the port authority of new york and new jersey. ya. thank you. >> a new york city -- a jury in new york will decide the fate of osama bin laden's son-in-law. he became moan as the spokesman for al qaeda after the attacks on 9/11. jury deliberations are underway. osama bin laden's son-in-law pleaded not guilty to charges he conspired to kill americans and

help al qaeda. defense attorneys argue the prosecution didn't prove its case. they say their client was not a major al qaeda figure, despite this picture and others showing the two men together. if convicted, he could face life in prison. >> the girlfriend of one of the passengers aboard malaysia flight 370 says it's time to grieve but still wants closure. we'll tell you what she says she needs to get that and what his family is also saying. that's ahead from the fox news deck this afternoon. i can't believe your mom has a mom cave!
