headquartered in santa monica. i talked to one of the officials of that group by phone just a little while ago. he tells me that one of the passengers is a patient who was being transported to stanford's children's hospital. the other passenger is her mother. both of them, by the way, survived. now, here's what happened earlier today. >> palo alto. >> reporter: the air traffic control audio indicates the pilot was having trouble landing. the call to the palo alto fire department came in just after 11:00 a.m. a moony single engine plane with three people crashed in the duck ponds while trying to land at the airport. >> the two women that were -- the women that were on the wing of the aircraft were rescued by our personnel, and the deceased male, who was a pilot -- >> reporter: firefighters hooked a 24 foot extension ladder from the shore to the aircraft to

reach the two passengers. >> one patient was able to walk to the ambulance and be transported, another patient was packaged on a backboard and transported on a gurney. >> reporter: the radio conversation between the air traffic controller and the pilot one juliet mike, indicates he was unfamiliar with the area and was having trouble locating the airport. >> reporter: the tower warns another plane in the area. >> still trying to make sure he knows where the field is. >> the air traffic controller turns back to juliet mike. >> 12:00, a mile and a half. >> i'm cleared to land too. >> reporter: then this. >> palo alto, i'm going to abort this and go around. >> roger, make left, close traffic, do you need any assistance? >> i'm negative, i came in too fast. >> reporter: then the radio goes silent. >> attention all aircraft, due

to a mishap, we'll be shutting down pattern work and limiting operations in the vicinity. >> reporter: ntsb investigators are on the scene, the pilot's body was extricated from the wreckage a little while ago. again, the two passengers in that manplane, one of them a patient being transported to stanford's lucille packard children's hospital and her mother are at stanford medical center now. vic lee, abc 7 news. in the east bay, investigators are looking into why somebody ran across interstate 80 in richmond this afternoon, traffic backed up for more than 30 minutes until after 1:00 as crews rushed to rescue that person who was hit by a car. sky 7 was overhead as crews landed an emergency helicopter right on the freeway. the driver had slammed on the brakes first so the car wasn't going very fast. that person is now in the hospital and their current condition is unknown. drone view 7 flew over the nike store where this new

billboard of colin kaepernick has gone up. >> nike stock dropped 3% today after cap's new nike deal was released. adidas and puma are all down. it's not about cap. >> would you buy nike products because of the new campaign. you can vote on abc7news.com. >> david louie talked to a marketing expert today about the pros and cons for nike. >> reporter: yeah, 30 years into the just do it campaign, nike knows the hazards of endorsements. there is a halo effect when consumers like the person and negative when they don't. colin kaepernick has proven to be polarizing as he promotes social justice. just as people reacted to colin kaepernick and his teammate eric reed to their protest, now we'll see how consumers react. nike is opening itself to positive reaction from some, but

an economic backlash from opponents. >> many of these people may refuse to buy nike, or even boycott the brand. that's not really what you normally want when you're choosing a brand endorser. >> reporter: howard combs is a marketing professor at san jose state. he points out that nike was hit by a transgender lawsuit. the athletic wear giant could have chosen a better celebrity endorser. >> they could have done it possibly by picking a very good female celebrity product spokesperson, and that might have really helped them quite a bit. i'm not sure what the upside is of picking colin kaepernick. >> reporter: as athletes know the expression no pain, no gain, nike could be taking a calculated risk. >> sometimes taking risks can pay off. nike took a big risk with michael jordan. they signed a long multiyear contract before he was a star, and he became a superstar. >> reporter: in the past president trump tweeted he's

against players protesting during the national anthem. he has yet to react to nike's deal with kaepernick. >> when we see the tweet, that may drive more people toward nike, more people unhappy with the tweet may go out temporarily and buy nikes just in spite. president trump did tell a conservative website the daily caller that nike is sending out a terrible message, one that shouldn't be sent. the nfl, on the other hand, says "the social justice issues that c colin and other professional athletes have raised deserve our attention and action." live in san jose, david louie, abc 7 news. >> a provocative campaign by nike. kaepernick's protest against racial and social injustice began in august of 2016. he sat during the national anthem during the 49ers first three pre-season games that year. actually, hardly anybody noticed until the third game. cap knelt for the first time september 1st along with teammate eric reed by his side

for the first time. he said he decided to kneel after meeting with nfl player nate boyar, agreeing kneeling would be more respectful to america's service members. in march of 2017. kaepernick opted out of his contract with the 49ers. he was going to be cut regardless. he hasn't played in the league since. in october of 2017, he filed a grievan grievance against the nfl. and last week an arbitrator ruled that the grievance could go to trial. as for boyar, he weighed in on the debate with this tweet. the quote is some are offended, some aren't, it's that simple. to push, roughly, 20 million veterans onto one side of the anthem of the debate is stupid, we're as diverse as any other american microcosm. 37-year-old boyar grew up in the bay area, attended high school and afghanistan. >> a number excited are bay area profits that have benefitted

contrsben, kaepernick made the million-dollar pledge he was going to give away $1 million of his own money. >> i'll be donating 10-k a day for the next 10 days. >> he donated $30,000 to united playas, a san francisco nonprofit that's used the money to mentor at risk youths. they're excited to see nike embrace kaepernick's message. >> we're excited this new support will bring extra light and attention to those individuals who work every day to keep our country safe and make our country a better place. it takes a hood to save the hood. >> kaepernick's first donation was to san jose-based silicon valley debug. it provides leelt and moral support for families of people killed by police officers. nike will make a contribution to

the charity known as know your rights, funded entirely by the kaepernick foundation. its stated mission is to fight oppression of all activism. larry and ama? >> kristen, thank you. get back to the poll. would you buy nike products because of the new campaign? so far 59% say yes, obviously it's a bay area audience, more likely, many of them, to favor kaepernick. you have to think that nike did a lot of research, a lot of focus group work. they wouldn't roll the dice and go, gee, i wonder -- >> let's see what happens. >> hundreds of millions of dollars on the line here. we'll see, yeah. >> weigh in on abc7news.com/vote and see the results in realtime. >> announcer: now your accuweather forecast with spencer christian. here's live doppler 7, we have a mostly sunny day right now with the usual low clouds on the coastline and afternoon thunderstorms over the central sierra. here's a live view. you can see the haze in the air. i want to focus on the air quality right now. we're still under an advisory,

although not in effect for tomorrow. the air quality is no worse than moderate, and all regions of the bay area. tomorrow, we expect good air quality in the south central bay. modest improvement there, the onshore flow helping to mix out some of the smoke building up in the atmosphere here. we'll still have high tree poll entomorrow, and a very high uv index. the forecast an mission is taking us into the late night hours, the low clouds expanding across the bay. at 5:00 tomorrow morning, beginning with the morning commute, some commuters will be greeted by reduced visibility. ama? >> thank you, spencer. bay area lawmakers are pushing governor brown to sign off on a plan for needle injection sites. london breed joined sate senator scott wiener, urging brown to sign a bill to create a three-year pilot program. ou drug user we don't want to

see people shooting up and we don't want to see the needles on the street doesn't mean that it's just going to disappear without taking real action. >> supporters say on-site drug counseling can also cut overdoses and steer users toward effective recovery programs. governor brown has until the end of the month to sign the bill. and the bill that would ban styrofoam food containers on state beaches, requiring all takeout food containers be recyclable or compostable by 2021. the packaging clogs landfills and pollutes the environment. critics say the mandate would impose an unnecessary hardship on business owners. fireworks on capitol hill today as the supreme court hearing gets under way. >> a judge must interpret the constitution as written. informed by history, and tradition and precedent. >> the protests and w democrats asked for before the

. a fiery start to judge brett kavanaugh's confirmation hearing. >> democrats asked for the hearing ton adjourned. here's abc news reporter janae norman. day one of confirmation hearings for judge brett kavanaugh ended on a much quieter note than it began.

>> i urge you to vote no. >>epkedith fi storm. protesters heckling brett kavanaugh, the situation getting so bad his daughters were escorted out. democrats calling to end the supreme court confirmation hearing before it began. >> mr. chairman, i move to adjourn. >> hear directly from judge -- >> reporter: that request nipui outbursts from protesters. >> frankly, these people are so out of line they shouldn't even be allowed in the dog gone room. >> reporter: one thing senators could agree on, the start was unprecedented. >> this is something i've never gone through before in 15 supreme court nominations. >> this is my ninth hearing, and i think we've got to look at this, these are very unique circumstances. >> reporter: republicans pushing back against democrats' claim they don't have enough documents on kavanaugh, arguing they have more documents than the last

nominees. democrats specifically wanting to question where he stands on presidents under investigation. >> you've taken the unorthodox position that presidents should not be burdened with a criminal or civil investigation while in office. >> reporter: and eventually, kavanaugh getting to speak for himself. >> i do not decide cases based on personal or policy preferences. a judge must be independent. not swayed by public pressure. >> reporter: today's hearing almost serves as a microcome for the deep political divide around the country and the chaos that can lead to. a new abc "washington post" poll shows americans are split. janae norman, capitol hill. >> we're only just getting started with this. give me your reaction to the way just the hearing started this morning, because it was so contentious from the outset. >> it was really unprecedented the way, you know, senator

camilla harris blasted in and said i've got a motion and i've got a concern and thehairman grasey didn' r to do. he's tweeted out this afternoon he's not going to let it happen tomorrow. it's a very contentious hearing. that's because the democrats lost the seat on merritt garland two years ago. >> there were no hearings. the republicans wouldn't allow any hearings. the democrats don't want any part of kavanaugh because a lot of them feel he will shield president trump from any prosecution. the question is, can the democrats do anything to stop this nomination? >> people are angry with the administration, and with a lot of choices that this administration has had, but the republicans have the votes right now. that's why they're rushing it through now as opposed to waiting until after the midterms when, who knows, things might change and they don't have the votes on this committee. there will be a motion to adjourn tomorrow, that's not going to get even heard probably, it won't pass. they've got a majority in the senate. we've got democratic senators up for reelection who may vote for

kavanaugh because they want to win the reelection. there's no chance, i think, unless something very unexpected happens. >> there was an attempt to delay the confirmation, you talked about it, partly because of 42,000 pages from kavanaugh's record made available only last night, so no time to review much of that material. in your view, is that a legitimate complaint or not? >> i think it's a totally legitimate complaint. there's a 2 1/2 year period when he was the secretary to the president and those documents have been withheld from the committee completely, actually, on some claim of executive privilege. no president has ever invoked executive privilege to block supreme court nominee documents in the past. unprecedented. it's a big period, 2 1/2 years as the secretary to the president. there may be nothing there, there may be something there, but to go ahead without those documents it's very difficult. >> would you be in favor of putting the nomination process on hold until after the mueller investigation is complete?

>> you know, there's nothing in the constitution that answers the question about how should hearings go. we didn't have hearings until the 20th century. i don't have a legal view on that. there's no legal answer to that. it's a question of policy. certainly the democrats would like to put it off until 2021 when they might have a president -- >> yes. >> so putting it off until the mueller investigation, putting it off until the midterms, i think doing it carefully is important because it's such an important vote. he's going to change the 5-4 majority on some things. but i don't think numerically they have the votes and i don't think legally there's an argument to stop it. >> on a personal level you told me before we started the interview that you know brett kavanaugh. can you tell me what you think ofma as a legal mind? >> he's got a great legal mind. he's conservative. his politics are not my politics. he's a very nice person. when he says i love coaching my daughters, he's a sports guy. he's easy to get along with.
