to crash a flight headed for san francisco. it all comes as he made his first appearance in a portland courtroom today. good evening. i'm ama daetz. and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us today. alaska airlines announcing it has removed the off duty pilot, 44 year old joseph emerson from service indefinitely and relieved him of all duties with the airline. >> and this comes as we learn what emerson told the off duty pilots on duty. pilots rather, moments before he acted. >> abc seven news i-team reporter dan noyes is going through court documents very closely. he is in the newsroom with the very latest on this. dan? >> well, dan and ama, the court documents describe a terrifying 90s that's how long the on duty pilot struggled with joseph emerson as he tried to cut power to the jet's engines. through his attorney, 44 year old joseph emerson pleaded not guilty to the 83 attempted murder counts for each of the people aboard that alaska airlines flight operated by horizon air from everett, washington, to sfo sunday, he seemed to catch

someone's eye in the gallery and mouth. a message as his lawyer began. good afternoon, your honor. >> for mr. emerson, he is truly named. we've received two copies of the district attorney's information. we would waive further reading and advice of rights, reserve all rights, read into the record this morning into a not guilty plea on emerson. >> also now faces a federal charge interference with flight crew members and attendants and an fbi affidavit from that case provides details from interviews with the defendant and others. the pilot's report there was zero indication anything was wrong as the flight began and they made small talk with emerson sitting in a jump seat in the cockpit as the flight was well underway, according to the fbi affidavit, emerson said, i'm not okay and tried to cut the plane's engines by pulling the fire extinguisher handles known as the t handles or the t handle, which is what this individual tried to pull on each engine actually turns the engine off and prepares it for a fire extinguisher. >> the problem is at high altitude, you can get the engines restarted at low

altitude. that could be a fatal result. >> one pilot struggled with emerson while the other declared an in-flight emergency. it took 90s for them to get emerson under control. he left the cockpit on his own, telling the flight attendants, you need to cuff me right now or it's going to be bad. one passenger took these photos. >> we've got the guy that tried to shut the engine down out of the cockpit. it doesn't sound like he's causing any issue in the back right now. i think he's subdued. >> but then the criminal complaint says that emerson tried to open the exit door while in flight until a flight attendant held his hands down. emerson told police he thought he was having a nervous breakdown on the flight and that he hadn't slept in 40 hours. he denied taking any medication, but stated he became depressed approximately six months ago. he also told investigators he took psychedelic mushrooms 48 hours before that flight and that it was his first time. he also said he just lost his best friend by the way, faa records show he passed his medical exam just last month. he passed for the

i-team. dan noyes, abc7 news. >> dan, here's a question though. i mean, how close of a call was this really? >> well, it turns out from the pilot, from what the pilot said, that he actually got those handles engaged. the lights showed up, that the fire suppression was about to begin. so it was very close. they were able to get his hand off those handles and push it back into place. and so the engines never actually cut power. but it was very close. >> yeah, glad they had that quick thinking. all right, dan, thank you. >> well, today in southern california, jury selection got underway in the trial of the captain of a dive boat that caught fire, killing 34 people. the deadly 2019 labor day fire happened just south of santa barbara. seven of the 34 victims were from the bay area. now, jerry boylan, who was the captain of the boat, is facing one count of misconduct or neglect of a ship officer. the tragedy has led to maritime regulations, congressional reform and civil lawsuits. if convicted, boylan faces ten years in prison.

>> new developments now on the ongoing controversy over autonomous vehicles in san francisco today. the california dmv suspended permits for driverless robo taxis for the company crews. the action is effective immediately. the dmv says the suspension is due to safety concerns. it comes just months after the dmv asked crews to cut its fleet in half. also because of safety in the wake of several crashes involving the driverless cars. today's suspension does not impact the company's permit for testing cars with a safety driver inside. >> oakland police are getting ready to launch a pilot program designed to stop car break ins. but you have to help to make this work. here's how the way to report a car break in is not by calling 911, but by using social media. abc seven news reporter anser hassan explains. >> the oakland police department has videos to show just how fast it is to break into a car and the city has seen a spike in car break ins. >> this year alone, we've had 11,300 locked auto burglaries in

the city. that's a 36% increase from 2022. >> opd says it's been focused on tackling auto break ins since may. >> we've increased our violent suppression units to operate in the areas where the crime data shows that these crimes are being committed. we've also brought back our foot patrol units in the downtown area and deployed them where the businesses are mostly affected, according to opd's own numbers, it's working. >> captain casey johnson says the heggenberger road corridor, where foot patrol officers have been working and along 98th avenue are areas in oakland with the highest auto burglaries, in part because of the number of travelers and easy access to the freeways. >> since july, with the focus of our foot patrol officers and our dedicated overtime burglary suppression teams, we've seen a 50% reduction in weekly auto burglaries in these two locations alone. >> but interim chief assistant jones says even more is being done. this weekend, opd is launching a pilot program where people can report an auto

burglary on instagram and formerly known as twitter, or by using the handle at oakland auto burg. >> but if you send that information to us immediately, we're going to have staff monitoring the platforms and they'll be able to relay the intelligence or the information to our surveillance teams that we're going to have in the city. >> jones acknowledges that there are many unknowns as to how effective this program will be, even just announcing it may deter crime. this weekend. but he says the department is committed to thinking outside of the box to fight crime with the community's help. >> if they could direct us to where these things are occurring at with the air assets, with the uniforms, with the undercover officers, we'll be able to track the vehicles down and make the arrests rapidly and remove some of the luck out of the situation. >> the pilot program runs this weekend only if effective it could be used again in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> facebook and instagram's parent company is now in a legal fight with california and dozens of other states. today the attorneys general filed a

lawsuit accusing meta of harming the health of young people. abc7 news reporter zach fuentes has more on the claims and why some say the lawsuit has been a long time coming. >> today we draw the line. we must protect our children online and we will not back down from this fight. >> that fight is in the form of a lawsuit filed in a federal court in california tuesday. 33 attorneys general, including california's, suing facebook and instagram parent company meta. they accused the menlo park based company of harming young people's mental health. >> there's a mountain of growing evidence that social media has a negative impact on our children. evidence that more time on social media tends to be correlated with depression, with anxiety, body image issues, susceptibility to addiction. >> the attorneys general say meta knows of the harm it's causing young users, but has done nothing to address it. meta has responded to the lawsuit. in a statement, it said in part, we're disappointed that instead of working productively with companies across the industry to create clear age appropriate standards for the many apps

teens use. the attorneys general have chosen this path, meta said. it has introduced more than 30 tools to support teens and families. but jim steyer, with common sense media, says meta can't be trusted to self-police. >> the idea that fake facebook and instagram are going to come out and say, don't worry, we have all the tools in place, you just need to use them is almost laughable. >> the lawsuit also accuses meta of routinely collecting data on kids under 13 without their parents consent, in violation of federal law. experts say concerns surrounding data collection have long been an issue in silicon valley. when you go to use a platform, really what you're doing is performing free labor. >> you're toiling away for eight, ten, 16 hours a day for some young people, unfortunate. and you don't get paid for that and you're giving away your data in the meantime. and everything you produce is making profits for a different company and not yourself, steyer says. >> it's that business model that's the root of the problem. >> this is an arms race for young people's attention. and this lawsuit has the potential to fundamental alter that

landscape and that would be a very big win for kids and families here in the bay area and all across the united states in silicon valley. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. coming up, concern is growing over how security and street closures from the apec summit will affect the wider community, specifically seniors. >> what mayor london breed says is being done to address those concerns. >> but first, after the break, basket football is back. you can see it here as the warriors get ready to host the suns in their season opener. we're going to take you live to chase center for a preview of tonight's game and the season ea abc seven news at five. we' we made it! bmo has arrived. hello? you said it. hello to more ways to save money, grow your wealth, grow your business. just what we needed, another big bank. not so fast. how many banks do you know that reward you for saving every month? he's got a good point. did i mention bmo has more fee-free atms than the two largest us banks combined? uh, b-m-o? just "bee-mo", actually.

new team, you know. i know what i bring to the table, you know, and that's a that's an edge every time that i play. so it's been like that for a long time. and i don't see it changing. >> i've known for years he's one of the smartest, toughest competitor in the league. so every thing that i've seen backs that up. nothing really surprises me. mostly, i'm just really thrilled to be collaborating with him because he's got a lot of knowledge. i mean, all of his time in the league as good as he's been, what he has experienced in the playoffs. so i just enjoy talking shop with chris. >> now, draymond green is not going to be able to play tonight. he's working his way back from a sprained ankle, practicing but not ready to play. so we fully expect to see chris paul in the starting lineup. we have this running game with steve kerr where every night we ask who's starting and he says, i'm not telling you, but but i think you can safely assume that cp3 will be in the

starting lineup. i'm going to jump out real quick because it's opening night and you could see at half time the great gary baldy will be performing at halftime. he is a master for of painting in rapid fashion. uh, he is one of a kind, i have to tell you. he is truly amazing. david garrett baldy, when he's in the house, nobody's leaving at halftime. all right, that's a wrap for now. more coming up during the sports at 6:00. dan and amy, back to you. >> all right. look forward to it. thanks, larry. >> all right. let's talk baseball for a moment. the giants are poised to hire peninsula native and cal alum bob melvin as their new manager. malta reports multiple reports indicate melvin met with giants executives yesterday. now he still has one year left on his contract with the san diego padres. but the giants received permission to speak with the three time manager of the year. melvin managed the oakland a's from 2011 to 2021. an official announcement from the giants could come as soon as tomorrow. >> coming up, helping to solve
