only shooting an air soft pistol like this one, he said the mood shifted and the officers became light hearted over the pellet gun. >> he walk outside and everything was okay. he was laughing. he was laughing at the window. he was like don't worry about it, don't worry about it. and three people told him the dog is friendly and he just shot him with the m16. >> the police officer says he shot the dog because it was growling and moving towards him. the department is calling it an unfortunate situation. they say, quote, we have to be careful. they also gave him a citation because it's illegal to discharge of any kind within city limits. >> now to that southwest airline situation. you know about this. hundreds more flights are expected to be cancelled to. this, after a boeing 737 had its cabin roof ripped open during a flight from phoenix to sacramento. it happened friday. the 40-foot long opening was so

big passengers could see sun light through it. the cabin lost pressure, the oxygen masks dropped and the plane itself plunged 11,000 feet in just minutes. passengers took these pictures of the incident before the plane made an emergency landing in yuma, arizona. the investigators have taken the plane's flight recorders to washington for inspection. they will be checking the data for any signs of fracture patterns along the fuselage. southwest expects to cancel another 300 flights all over the country today. 79 aircraft remain out of service for inspection. sundays are much busier travel days than saturdays so the delays could be even longer than yesterday. take a look at cancellations in the bay area. so far this weekend 20 flights cancelled at oakland, 12 at san francisco and 19 at san jose. abc7 reports on travelers sent scrambling to find other flights

"the safety of our customers and employees is our primary concern. we are working very closely with boeing to conduct these proactive inspections and support the investigation. we are working aggressively to attempt to minimize the impact to our customers' travel schedules." that being said, some travelers at sfo don't know when they will

reach their destination. >> i don't know yet, still waiting in line. >> same holds threw at oakland airport. more than a dozen flights were cancelled. corey is traveling with his very pregnant wife. >> we were sold our flight was cancelled and our next available flight was twelve hours from that flight cancellation. >> many of the flights missed were connecting flights which has double and tripled travel times for some people. while some passengers are worried about getting on a 737, they welcome the inspections. >> i want to be on a save plane so i'm glad they are checking owl their planes. southwest could have handled it better. >> southwest said you should check their website before leaving home. at sfo, abc7 news. >> a fire in the berkeley hills caused quite a square yesterday morning. witnesses said they could see the home burning from all over the bay. this is video sent to us through u-report, powered by youtube.

which he understands is up about $328. subsequent offenses are currently $50, but would double to $100. that fine balloons to more than $500 when you add in all the extra fees. >> the city and the state is hurting right now, but they have to look out for us also. to me it just seems like a little too much. >> it's a good thing to have a law against it, but i don't think, you know, fining people beyond, you know, beyond the means is going to solve it. >> the senator says all californians have 20 do is use a handsfree device to avoid the fines. he said it shows collisions with a cellphone is a factor have declined and wants the trend to continue. but another study found no difference. >> the reports show very conclusively, very clearly the law has no effect on safety. it doesn't matter if it's handsfree or hands on. it's the actual discussion that's the distraction.

>> his proposal would add a point to a violator's driving record after a first offense and the smaller fine without the court fees would be applied to bicyclist who are caught using a handheld phone while on a bicycle. abc7 news. starting tomorrow the chp and 225 california police agencies will have a month long crackdown. they will look for driver's who ignore the ban on hand-held phone calls and text messaging. more than 350,000 california drivers have been ticketed since the ban took effect in july, 2008. nearly 6,000 more have been cited for the texting ban that took effect six months later. another group of officers in oakland got cameras last week to wear on their uniforms. they say it will protect officers and the people they

>> the city's police review board received 96 complaints against the department in 2009. 74% were unfounded or exonerated. last year that were 81 complaints. it's not yet no one how many were valid. >> those numbers cover just about ten percent of all the complaints filed against opd. after the rider's case, internal affairs now investigates every single complaint filed against the department, even those that appear baseless from the start. >> one of the new cameras mounted inside a police cruiser caught this stolen car chase through the utility fruit dale district. but when the car crashes and the officer chases, the camera stays in the car and what happens next is never shown. that concerns critics, like this attorney. >> that's where the improper contact occurs. so if you don't record that particular event, then the conduct, the video camera has marginal relevance. >> police say most of the time the system works but they admit it's not foolproof. in oakland, abc7 news.

it comes to stock options. >> i don't want to be penalty izing companies for succeeding in growing at such a fast clip. >> the issue came to light when twitter threatened to leave the city, leading to a proposed tax break. they are now suggesting a deal for all large high-tech firms. a two-year moratorium on taxes stock options. >> the twitter deal and the way that it's been approached so far only spotlights the fact that it is not an equitable companies because other companies are now saying where is ours? >> and some community groups want theirs. a protest was organized to pressure twitter to agree to community benefits, including a $3 million investment. >> we aren't saying we don't want them in our neighborhood. if anything, we would like to see this be a partnership between twitter and the community. >> we don't want the companies to feel they are being shaken down in any way, what they can do, what they can commit to is always a two-way street.

>> scientists have discovered a previously unknown forest. there's a twist. the trees in this forest are under water.

they are at the bottom of fallen leaf lake. it's just south of lake tahoe. research shows the forest and the lake show critical clues to climate change. here's dan ashley with the details. >> fallen leaf lake is already known for its spectacular beauty. now it turns out the lake also has a dramatic secret. >> i would like to call it ghost forest. >> professor kent of university of nevada is talking about trees up to 100 feet tall, the size of ten-story buildings, but covered by water. >> we have old wood from 1,000 years ago, 2,000, 3,000 down there. >> scientists in a small submarine took the photos, showing just a few of the 100 or more trees on the bottom of the lake. they are using state-of-the-art sonar to map the mysterious forest and trying to figure out why it's there. >> this sonar technology is exactly the equipment that's used to find sunken chips. our treasure are trees. this is the shadow cast by an

upright tree about 100-foot high. >> another image shows the lake has seen big changes in the water level over many years. this sonar device actually shows slices of the ground under the lake bottom. researchers say all this evidence confirms one thousand years ago there was a prolonged drought in the sierra that lasted about 200 years, long enough for huge trees to grow where fallen leaf sits. precipitation was 60% of normal. that's similar to the devastating midwest dust goal in the 1930s, and scientists believe it may happen again. >> take the great dust bowl and extend it from ten years to 200-some years and wonder how the economies of california and nevada are going to be affected by it. >> they said the long sierra drought happened naturally one thousand years ago. but he and other top researchers

believe global warming could bring on another drought even fastner the future. if that happens, fallen leak lake could be the canary in the coal mine. >> this is a lake that will start feeling the effects of the next drought, whenever that happens, much more than any other lake in the area. >> the research indicates the lake level might drop fast, as much as 50 to 100 feet in just a couple of decades. that could bring huge change for thousands of vacationners who flock to the lake every summer. scientists plan more research to bring more accurate predictions. but now they know fallen leaf lake and it's forest is the place to find answers. >> you don't get many chance get a perfect record. >> dan ashley, abc news. >> how lovely it looks there, too. >> beautiful. and he will have so much water for all of the mountain lakes that if you haven't hiked there, it is a fabulous hike. not too tough. we will have to keep our eyes open for the trees now. >> one thing i did not know existed there. we are talking about a pretty start to the day in all of

>> we recently aired a report about a funeral for a san francisco man who raised some eyebrows. 7 on your side looked into the controversy. here's michael finney to clarify the story and put it in proper context. >> our report focused on the concerns of helmon wong upon the death of his brother. born 13 months apart, they were inseparable. >> we went to school together, were in scouts together. we did everything together ask were very close. i didn't expect this at all, that he would just pass away. >> the family decided to keep the arrangements simple and had

duggens mortuary take care of things. here's the price list called for by federal trade regulations. there on the bottom was the package that was chosen. direct cremation or burial package. no services, no ceremony or obituary, without a viewing $1,220. >> the family originally came in and they opted for the simplest direct cremation without any preparation or viewing orally anything. just the simplest direct cremation. >> later the family decided to add a short viewing and that's where hurt feelings come in. we reported duggens charged $200 for the family to say good-bye, and it did. look at the price list. the charge is listed right there with brief 30 minute family-only viewing in chapel, $1,420. $200 more. however, duggens believes our report left the impression the

mortuary didn't do much for that money, that it was almost a ransom. >> this $200 fee was painted as if -- if the family wanted to see their loved one, it's going to cost you $200. that's not it at all. >> daniel duggen is precedent of duggens and son of the founders. still a family business, duggens has been providing services at this daly city location for decades. money, he says, is not the focus here. >> the money thing really bothered us. that really bothered us because we aren't that way. we don't emphasize that. >> in fact, there was much to do before the viewing. the room was set aside. staff assigned. there had been an autopsy so the remains were not in pristine shape. there was work to do to make things presentable. >> we put a great emphasis on the final viewing. if a family wants to see their loved one, we want it to be a

very positive, beautiful experience. it's the last time they get to say good-bye and they are going to live with that memory the rest of their lives. >> the earlier story also stated other providers don't charge for viewing the body, but that depends on the provider and the services requested. family should check the price list carefully before selecting the services they want and and questions if they aren't sure what is covered. >> that really is the key, and questions and make sure you understand the answers. i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. >> straight ahead, jake gets minutes to find a bomber. one of the best reviewed thrillers of the year. dan sanchez on the isle coming up.

in theaters this weekend a fast-based thriller called "the source code." the actor has to find whoever planted a bomb on a train. he only has 8 minutes to do it. here's arts and entertainment reporter dan sanchez "on the isle." >> for jake, he wakes up on a train talking to a woman he doesn't know. and he's in someone else's body. just as he's trying to figure it out, the train blows up. >> welcome back, captain stevens. >> where am i? >> you are inside the source code. >> he's a soldier out of afghanistan. part of a secret program he can cross over into another man for the last 8 minutes of his life. his mission is to find who planted the bomb. he goes back over and over again, and each time another layer of the story is peeled away. >> as always, you will have 8 minutes. >> 8 minutes, and then i blow up again? >> he finds he's more attracted to michelle as the woman. >> what would you do if you knew you had less than 8 minutes to live? >> i would make those seconds

count. >> he decides he wants to save her, but how do you change fate? pretty intense. crafted by the director duncan jones, he's david bowie's son. he's filled it with twists, a few laughs and plenty of tension. >> tell me everything is going to be okay. >> everything is going to be okay. >> we've seen this territory before with "memento and even groundhog day, but this one is more be intriguing. it's well written and well-based. he's a true action hero i think you will find the film riveting, but a bit confusing. with an ending that's thought provoking, it's also a bit ambivalent. for that reason it's a few kernels shy of a full bucket. see you on the isle. >> high praise from donaldson. >> the famous clepto kitty is going to perform some community service. dusty became an internet sensation after being caught on

camera swiping items from his neighbors. he was featured on animal planet and became a worldwide sensation. he goes out at night and returns with anything that isn't nailed down. you know that story. well, today he's going to prance down the isle at the animal fashion show to help raise money to care for neglected and abused animals. what fashion will clepto kitty be wearing? what else, a prison uniform. by the way, dusty was adopted five years ago from a local humane society shelter. >> our vic lee did that story, and, wow. >> i would love to see it. you saw the stack of gloves there. every single one of those. so fun. and rightfully so. he should be wearing that black and white stripe. >> and the rest of us should be wearing what? >> a sweater this morning.
