to the surface. >> and what has grounded southwest planes all over the country.

the breaking news is in san francisco. you are looking at the frantic moments where people were uh treatmenting to -- attempting to break open the back of a van to rescue the people inside. >> look just before they got to it sinking beneath the waters of the bay. i'm ama dates in for carolyn johnson. >> and i'm dan ashley. the van found tonight after several hours of searching the bay. sergio is there live tonight. sergio? >> dan, in the last half hour, rescuers have decided to call off the retrieval of the mini-van and unfortunately they did locate the body, but

the body is still inside the van. i want to show you that this is the heavy rescue team the san francisco fire department september in -- sent in to try to retrieve the body and the van. unfortunately the treacherous waters in the bay just did not make that possible this evening. this afternoon i talked to a sailor, one of the three people in the video who are trying to rescue the person in the van. this is cell phone video of three men trying to bust open the back window of the mini-van that plunged into the bay. >> the roof was submerging before we got to it. three of our guys were in the water with tools. they were able to get on the car and start smashing the window. unfortunately they cooperate get the window to break come -- they couldn't get the window to break completely. >> he is five other team members raced into the bay in their motor boat. he shot this video from the

deck as they tried to make a rescue. >> as you were trying to go under water did you notice there were people inside? >> yes. >> do you know how many? >> no. >> you can see rescue crews and spectators when this happened at 5:00 p.m. witnesses say the van careened through marina green and went into the water. >> after i heard the car swerve i turned and i saw it just as the car was hitting the grass right here. she skimmed over the block right there and skimmed off the asphalt and into the water. >> rescue crews and motor boats and jetskis tried to find the van in the murky waters off the green. >> we have a lot of current and it can be anywhere because of the tide. we can't dive on it until we find out where the vehicle is right now. >> after two and a half hours the van was found in the 20 to 25 foot waters. when the van was found crews pulled up a large semi-sized

tow truck and brought it over to the van so they could attach it and pull the van out. it seems the van has sunken into the mud and it made it difficult to do that. it also made it impossible for the dive teams to retrieve the body. as we come out here live, you will see a blinking light and that is out on the water. that is the boom that has been attached to the car. it is going to stay attached throughout the evening and on into the morning. because that vehicle is stuck so deep into the mud they will call in a commercial salvaged team to pull it out, and of course that's when they will have to recover the body that's inside. reporting live in san francisco, sergio quintana, abc news. >> thank you. so how can you save yourself should the unthinkable happen and you find yourself trapped in your car underwater? an estimated 400 people die

each year because their cars are trapped in water. most of the victims wait or call 9-1-1 expecting help. the safety experts say do not wait. unbuckle your seatbelt and get the window open and get out of the car before it sinks. because the back windows on some cars don't roll all the way down passengers should head through the front ones. an inexpensive window break tool like these can puncture the glass before water fills your car. the first 30 to 60 seconds are key to getting out of the car. and of course our reporting continues on twitter. follow us on abc7 news bay area. meantime more breaking news. it has been a travel nightmare for southwest airlines. the reservation system went down a few hours ago leaving departing flights grounded because they can't check in passengers. look at the southwest flights at l.a.x. that were not able to depart tonight. the computer problem is affecting 15 departures at san jose and oakland airports
