lives. >> the 16 g seats, which were put into the aircraft many years ago, prevented the seats from coming apart during this accident, which made it survivable. the other thing that made it survivable was that the breakaway bolts in the wings. once the aircraft starts rolling like that, if these wings don't break off, it tears that fuselage in half and causes fatalities. >> the fire chief for the toronto airport says the runway was dry at the time of the crash and there were no crosswinds. however, gusts of up to 40 miles an hour had been reported and blowing snow was clearly visible after the crash. this crash, adding to a series of aviation accidents rattling travelers. coming less than a month after 67 people died in the midair collision in washington, dc, and a medical jet crash in philadelphia that killed seven. now, the ntsb is helping canadian authorities investigate this crash. the airport's ceo says two runways will remain closed for several days. well, tonight we're learning new details about the 15 year old

boy killed at san jose santana row, last friday night. the teenage boy was stabbed to death during a date on valentine's day. abc seven news reporter j.r stone spoke with his devastated family tonight. >> this is 15 year old david gutierrez, a young man who was stabbed to death at santana row last friday, valentine's day. his family says he was on a date with his girlfriend to celebrate when he was attacked by a group of teens. monday night, family members issued a statement about david's death, saying our precious young boy is an amazing young man whose life was taken too soon at the age of 15. he was enrolled in college bound classes to help him prepare for college. he was active in the community church activities. he was also active here at gladiators boxing gym in redwood city. >> he was a good kid. he was outgoing, friends with everybody here, everybody here, all these young guys here. you see, everyone was a friend of his.

somebody so young and devastating how it went down and all that. >> that's david's boxing instructor, berto burrito. he says the teen never voiced any concerns about his safety. he just liked being at the gym. >> he's doing because a lot of his friends would come here to. and he just wanted to say, yeah, just be with his friends and hang out and box. >> police have not arrested or charged anyone in connection to david's death. online community members are now helping the family. more than $20,000 has been raised for his funeral on this gofundme page. david's family says he was kind, empathetic, with a gentle demeanor. he was his family's happy energy. whenever he walked into a room, it simply lit up as to why someone or a group of people would want to attack him and kill him. police have not said. family members say we are at a complete loss in trying to process this incomprehensible act of violence. j.r stone, abc seven news. >> and remember, you can get

detailed information about what crime is like where you live on our abc seven neighborhood safety tracker. find it at abc seven news.com or on our abc seven bay area app as well. >> now our president. no way. >> we are in the middle of a constitutional crisis. >> elon musk has got to go. >> this president's day, thousands of people across the nation gathered to protest president trump. organizers called it the no kings on presidents day demonstration. these were the scenes across the bay area, including san francisco, oakland and san jose. the demonstrators denouncing both president trump and billionaire elon musk's involvement in the federal government. many criticizing musk's leadership of doge, his newly formed department of government efficiency, as well as layoffs of thousands of federal workers. other protests today targeted elon musk specifically. hundreds of people protested in front of the tesla showroom on van ness in san

francisco today. some of the protesters telling us they sold their stock in musk's companies and even sold their cars. >> i did own a tesla. i owned a tesla for three years and enjoyed it as a car. but what it now stands for is very different for me. i think it's an important statement. you know, we need to figure out ways to put pressure on these guys so they recognize that not everybody believes on this president day that trump represents them. >> today's demonstration followed similar protests at tesla dealerships in the bay area and around the nation on saturday. we are getting new insight tonight into the impact of the drastic cuts carried out by elon musk's team. doge now says what it's doing will save $55 billion for the federal government. the agency claims that number is a combination of canceling contracts, leases and grants, selling assets and cutting the federal workforce. among those cuts, hundreds of faa employees. the union for those workers says the firings started late friday night. the

transportation department says the cuts do not impact air traffic controllers or any employees responsible for critical safety roles. we spoke with aviation consultant and former director of community affairs at sfo, mike mccarron, who says the cutbacks may be too broad. >> the aviation industry has an incredibly great safety record, and it's because we have people in place to make sure things happen properly and to take a meat cleaver more or less and start whacking away at the system may not be the best solution. as far as trying to find ways to pare down the costs. >> fired workers could be barred from faa facilities as soon as tomorrow. all right, let's move on now to the accuweather forecast after a calm and dry presidents day. we are already tracking our next chance of rain. and abc seven news meteorologist sandyha patel is here. sandy. this obviously not nearly as intense as the last week's storms, right? >> not at all. dan, this is just going to be a little teaser, if you will. so let me show you a

designated area downtown. last year, wiener authored the bill to expand san francisco's entertainment zone policy across the state. the program has allowed the city to hold several outdoor block parties, with alcohol served to go a complicated web of crimes from the bay area to the east coast, all linked back to one bay area radical group. new details about its leader, whom bay area officials once declared dead. also ahead here, a long time east bay business smashed up by thieves. and tonight the community is helping them recover. >> is there any way to fix the nba all-star game? plus, day one of full squad workouts for the giants. and we are there. that's coming up in sports. >> thanks, larry. all of that's ahead. but first here's a look at what's coming up tonight on jimmy kimmel live. right after abc seven news at 11. >> jimmy stay up and we can have headaches together. >> have you ever tried it? it's a very awkward experience. >> slapping myself. >> yes. yeah, but, like, really, you have to, like. really hard.

who was once declared dead in san mateo county, is now in jail. court records show jack lasorda's family had her legally declared dead in 2022, believing she had fallen into san francisco bay. well, she's now facing gun and trespassing charges, and her group has ties to a number of homicides, including one killing in vallejo just weeks ago. abc seven news reporter lauren martinez explains this complicated web of allegations. >> after months on the run, police arrested an apparent

leader of a cult like group with bay area ties. the group, called the visayans, has been linked to several deaths spanning three states. one month ago, maximilian snyder is accused of murdering his landlord, curtis lynn, in vallejo. police believe the motive was to keep lynn from testifying that two of his former tenants tied to the ian's, attacked and nearly killed him two years earlier. days after the vallejo killing, another alleged member of the group is accused of killing a u.s. border patrol agent during a traffic stop in vermont. investigators say the gun used in the vermont shooting has been linked to the killings of richard and rita in 2022. sunday, police in maryland arrested their daughter, along with jack lasota, on gun and trespassing charges. online writings from the group span multiple anarchist theories, including radical veganism, or they look to end the human consumption of animals. >> so that old story of going out and joining a cult doesn't hold anymore. the cults are

here. they're inside our homes. they're on our streaming devices, on netflix. they're also on reddit. >> for the last five years. uc berkeley associate professor paulomi saha has taught the growing course cults in popular culture. >> what the cult name does is it draws the headlines. >> saha said. what we associate with that word has changed with the internet. >> the internet is so diffuse that it's really hard to pinpoint both connections between people and the kind of causality that, especially in a legal case, you might want. >> saha said. for this case involving former bay area residents, referring to the group as a cult may be oversimplifying a complicated situation. >> it is these tenuous connections that are holding together a story of many people acting seemingly under the control or influence of an individual. but i don't think we yet know that. >> in the south bay. lauren

martinez, abc seven news. >> new at 11 a business in berkeley is asking for the community's help after burglars damaged the building. the owner of the long-time camera shop, looking glass, is still cleaning up this mess. early yesterday morning, a group of people drove a car right into the storefront. it was caught on surveillance. just watch here. they're in the business. says in addition to the tens of thousands of dollars in damage to the store itself, a significant amount of merchandise was also stolen. and insurance isn't covering all of the losses customers are pitching in to help. >> there are people that have offered to, like, teach classes for free or bring back inventory that they haven't opened yet just so we can resell it. and the fact that people are willing to do whatever they can, it just makes us not feel like we're alone and that what we do

actually matters. >> the business set up a gofundme, which has already raised more than $40,000. for now, the front of the store is boarded up, but customers can still enter through the side. well, today, southwest airlines announced plans to cut 15% of its corporate workforce. that's more than 1700 people. it is the first time mass layoffs have happened in the company's history. the company says the cuts will start in april. they include 11 senior leadership positions. the layoffs are expected to save the company roughly $510 million between this year and next. egg prices continue to crack record highs, as you've probably noticed at the store, leaving shoppers feeling, well, rotten about their grocery bills. the united states department of agriculture says wholesale egg prices rose by $0.40 in the past 30 days. the national average price for a dozen eggs is 53% higher than last year. the usda says rising bird flu cases are to blame for

this, and prices are expected to get worse in the coming weeks. unfortunately, great america is holding a hiring blitz this week to fill hundreds of positions. could this hiring window be the last? well, we've known the south bay amusement park is set to close eventually. it was slated for closure in 2033, but documents show great america's lease could be terminated by the end of june 2028, which would force it to shut down. for now, though, the theme park is looking to fill a range of roles, from lifeguards to ride operations to food and beverage vendors, and it is almost water park weather. >> not quite. >> but it is going to get a good bit warmer. meteorologist sandhya patel is here with the forecast. >> and this weekend, dan, you might be thinking that it's going to get definitely get warmer. good evening everyone. let's take a look at live doppler seven. before we get to the weekend, let's talk about what's ahead. clouds will be continuing to stream in just like they did today. and then

this storm system that is developing out here is going to bring us a few showers on wednesday, but it's a one day deal. take a look at the climate prediction center's outlook from this coming sunday through part of next week. unfortunately, we are going to be below average in terms of rainfall by 40 to 50%. in terms of temperatures, we're expecting above average out west across the central u.s. near normal back east. but here it's a 70 to 80% chance of this happening during that same time period. so let's look at a live picture from our san jose camera. have a few clouds out there and here's live doppler seven. fog is reducing visibility down to four miles and half moon bay. so watch out 40 and 50 on your temperatures right now. but our weather is balmy in comparison to the extreme cold weather that they're dealing with. and wind chills. that's dangerous. wind chills 32 degrees below in fargo, 29 below in minneapolis.

they're going to be setting record low temperatures across that region. bitter cold. it's just dangerous. there are a lot of warnings. beautiful view from our sutro tower. looking at the golden gate bridge overnight areas of dense fog wednesday, scattered showers and for your weekend, sunny and spring like weather is coming your way. but before we get to that, we do have showers for wednesday morning, 5 a.m. in the north bay and then really scattered at 8 a.m. but they go in and out quickly. 11 a.m. a few more showers trailing through, and then they're pretty much done in terms of rainfall, expecting anywhere from maybe 100th of an inch to 13 hundredths in ukiah tomorrow morning. no rain, but it is going to be areas of fog 3040 for your temperatures. so bundle up tomorrow afternoon. it's going to be a milder day, upper 50s to the mid 60s in places like concord, san jose, santa rosa. if you want warmer weather and you've been craving that warmth, look at this friday, you're going to be seeing a lot of 60s across the board and 70 popping up on saturday for our inland areas and continuing into sunday, so

well above average as we hit the weekend. the accuweather seven day forecast. it's dry and partly cloudy tomorrow. spotty showers wednesday. bright and breezy for the end of the work week. a warming trend that puts us in spring like mode for the upcoming weekend. dan,

player from los medanos college in pittsburg, is now known across the nation for what he did over the weekend. jaron barajas is still on a high from yesterday's big moment at the nba all-star game. out of thousands of spectators, youtube star mr. beast invited him to go toe to toe with the milwaukee bucks point guard damian lillard for $100,000. all jaron had to do was make just one basket from half court before lillard made three. >> keep going. oh. >> this is surreal. i can't thank anybody but my dad community. >> i said hey whatever comes your way don't be shy. go have fun and see what happens. >> how great is that? he says he plans to save the money, help out his family, and use it to fund the rest of his college education. way to go, jaron. that made everybody's day. to see that today. all right, well, the nba experimented with a new format for the all-star game. so

what's the verdict on how it played out? sports director larry beil is here. larry. >> dan, there was a lot of grumbling about the new four team all-star game format. i asked damian lillard what he prefers. plus, baseball is back. day one of full squad workouts for the giants. can they give the dodgers a run to maintenance anything, so it's very scary for me because i have everything i love in this home. so, we've now implemented drone technology. how is that safe for me? it enhances the inspection,

so it allows us to see things faster. your safety is the most important, and if you're feeling unsafe, that's not okay. it doesn't feel like that in our hearts. i mean, it's worrisome. [dog barks] [dog barks]

these hands cook for 30 people, 3 meals a day. i can't stop when i have dry hands. i trust o'keeffe's. it's america's #1 selling hand cream for guaranteed relief. if it works for these hands it'll work for yours. also available in o'keeffe's for healthy feet.

east versus west in the all star game because the players weren't trying. they opted for a four team format, and that left a lot of people wondering, is there a better way to do this thing? the four team format included first and second year players out there with stars like steph curry. some vets felt the rising stars didn't earn playing on sunday night games last night. so many stoppages killed the energy chase. i'd go team usa against the world, but damian lillard likes the old format better. >> whoever wins east or west is, you know, getting home court in the finals or whatever, like, you know, baseball or something, you know. i mean, it could be anything, but if it's some type of incentive, you know, i think east west is the best way to me. >> i think what will be interesting to see is how this four nations thing turn out in hockey. if that turns out great, may have to pick an i.

>> draymond is referring to this. the four nations face off which is in lieu of the nhl all star game. the championship game is set usa versus canada thursday for the title. but tonight team usa against sweden these guys were hitting. they were going at it all out in basically a meaningless game that sweden won two one. all right. on to baseball. giants held a day one of full squad workouts in scottsdale. abc7's chris alvarez is there and talked with the giants new gm. >> well, larry, crazy to think. just 24 hours ago we were together at chase center covering the nba all star game. now the scene, at least for me, shifts to arizona and spring training. and the giants right here in scottsdale held their first full squad workout. giants, of course, have some new faces, including future hall of fame pitcher justin verlander and shortstop willy adames, who actually hit a home run during his first live bp today. they're going to be relying on those guys to make big impacts and try and help this giants team return to the postseason for the first time since that 2021 season, where they won a franchise

record 107 games. >> always looking to achieve more and more. that's who i want us to be as an organization. just striving to get better. certainly like where we're at with with the addition of willie thomas, justin verlander, it's been awesome to watch jv's pens and him sharing some knowledge with our younger pitchers. and you know, we'll see where it goes from here. but certainly excited about where we're at right now. >> and in other baseball news, the a's announcing the contract extension of manager mark kotsay. that's going to go through the 2028 season. a busy week of spring training coverage here in arizona. larry. send it back to you. >> all right. thank you. chris.
