have gone wrong. >> we know it was too low obviously. it was too slow and combination of that with the nose up there was a major problem in trying to make the runway. missing element is power. they pushed the power up at 500 feet or 600 feet and engines did not come up or was it a situation that for some reason they didn't get to the throttle in time. i find that highly unlikely. >> cheryl: lots of questions to be answered during this investigation. >> dan: facebook chief operating officer was supposed be on board of that flight and put a message out. >> she said taking a minute to be thankful and explain what happened. my family and colleagues originally were going to take the flight that just crash landed and switch to

giants began today seven games under five hundred but three players were named to the national all-star game. they will be at city fields for the mid season classic. the game against the dodgers got off to the weird start. posey could stop the double out of line so an out is called. giants wind up not scoring.

they did get on the board in the second. a walk to force home on run. and this one went up the middle. it's now 2-0 dodgers strike back in the fifth. launches a two-run shot and lead is cut in half. l.a. got no closer, rookie sensation struck out four times as the giants win 4-2. madison bumgarner improves four and five. >> batolo is 11-3 and a's were in kansas city. oakland led 2-1 in the fourth and he gets all of this parker pitch. it is out of here. that tied the contest. josh donaldson had hopes to make the all-star team. he had two r.b.i.s and 15th

crash landing. death toll stands at two. 49 people are still in the hospital in critical condition. >> now those numbers could have been much higher had everyone not been able to get off the plane. the plane caught fire after people escaped and emergency chutes come down. >> first responders had to go into plane to take out some of those people. all 7 people have been accounted for -- 307 people have been accounted for. >> it originated in shanghai and came to sfo ten and a half hour flight. if i says there is no indication that terrorism was involved. >> the crash is causing long delays and flight cancellations at san francisco international. some planes are being diverted. >> and wreckage of the plane is still sitting on the airfield at sfo tonight. right now the focus of an
