and if you're on 24 heading to the bay bridge, you're certainly not alone. but i have a new incident that could slow folks traveling across that upper deck. more details coming up. live look outside at the golden gate bridge. a little bit of fog spraying on those lights, but not too bad. and yes, the weekend now coming into sight crystal clear thursday, may 17th, "today in the bay." a very good thursday morning, everybody. it is 6:00 on the nose, i'm jon kelley. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. and new this morning, a man trying to escape an attacker plunges off a highway overpass. bob redell live near the scene in foster city this morning with details of what happened. good morning, bob. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you, laura. we believe this man was a car-jacking victim trying to escape, not realizing that there was a dropoff when he jumped over the edge of the highway. this happened down there. looking maybe about 200 yards

from us. that's eastbound 92 heading in our direction on the race portion there, it's just before mariners island boulevard exit. we're still trying to gather more details, but our general understanding is that a little bit before 2:00 this morning, this man who had been car-jacked ended up at that point on the road. he escaped his assailant, ran away, leaped over the edge of highway 92 thinking it'd be a short drop, turns out it was 30 feet to the ground. he was able to call chp while he was on the ground, they stayed on the line with him, were able t to locate him by listening in the sirens in the background. the area where he landed was so inaccessible that the fire department had to hoist him back on to the highway in a rescue stretcher for transport to the hospital. it's not clear what condition he is in right now. and also, as far as the whereabouts of this carjacker, that's known, but it is our understanding that the police department was able to locate that car in another location. reporting live here in foster city, "today in the bay."

san jose police hoping to talk to a man this morning who -- this is a crazy story -- who survived seven days with no food and water. more than a week ago michael sanchez jr. lost control of his pickup truck. a witness saw the truck go down the embankment and crash, but then he saw sanchez get out of the car and literally walk away. chp and sheriff deputies searching but found no signs of him. now seven days later, san jose detectives returned to that scene and found sanchez there still alive. >> well, he actually was out there for seven days and, you know, he was found alive. i know that the investigators were elated to know that they essentially rescued. sanchez right now is still in the hospital recovering. detectives expecting to talk to him today. 6:02, just into our newsroom, a teenager is now dead after a shooting in san jose. doctors worked through the night to try to save the 18-year-old

man, but he died early this morning of a gun shot wound. officers say they found him and the second man on walnut woods drive late wednesday night. the other man was assaulted and has serious injuries but he was not shot. so far, no word on a possible motive and police have not yet released the description of any possible suspects. well, this time tomorrow, do not be surprised if you hear the cha-ching sound all over the place. that's because the rich will be getting minutes away from getting a lot richer. but there are a few more things facebook does have to take care of before tomorrow's big-time and much anticipated ipo. business and tech reporter scott mcgrew with all the details. scott? >> they've got a price first. facebook's predicting it'll price shares between $34 and $38 a share, that's what early investors, which probably isn't you will pay the company directly for the shares. now after that, facebook will open up the nasdaq marketplace in a ceremony 6:30 our time tomorrow morning. that is purely ceremonial. the nasdaq's electronic, and it

doesn't need anybody to open it, it's a computer. and facebook shares will not necessarily trade right away. there's often a delay. that's when you can start buying it yourself and you don't need anything more than a brokerage account. we often use the term ipo kind of loosely to mean the first sale of stock or to describe the opening of the market or describe the first trading of shares. if you want to be totally accurate, by the time mark does press that button on the nasdaq tomorrow, the ipo will be long over, but shortly thereafter, you'll be able to buy some shares if that's what you'd like to do. laura? >> yeah, no suggestions. it'll be interesting to see how it all works out, thank you very much. 6:04. expect a lot of static today from verizon customers. the cell phone giant says those unlimited data plans, they're going away, even for a long time loyal customer. "today in the bay" marla tellez live with reaction. those people grandfathered in not going to be happy about this

one, marla. >> reporter: absolutely not, laura. verizon is the first major carrier to announce it will officially do away with the unlimited data plans. its competition such as sprint, at&t and t-mobile have already started to head into that direction. here is that big announcement from verizon. those grandfathered unlimited data plans will soon be gone. the idea is to migrate customers into the new faster 4g lte network. so if you currently have an unlimited data plan, when you want to upgrade, you will be required to sign on to a data share plan. it basically means you'll pay as you go and more money for verizon. now we spoke to a verizon customer and says he's not too happy about this news. >> i guess you have to switch companies or something. it already cost me $200 a month. >> now, verizon's cfo says the move will make it easier for families and small businesses to connect multiple devices.

now, pricing for the data share plan has not been announced yet. so it's not clear how much this is going to cost customers. and verizon says it will -- this will take effect some time this summer. live in milpedas, "today in the bay." new details about the massive trading loss suffered by jpmorgan chase. those losses surged in recent days and have now grown by at least another $1 billion. so $2 billion moving towards $3 billion in losses. last week, jamie dimon said that could happen over the course of the next few months. and instead, has happened over four days of trading. the federal reserve right now looking into these major catastrophic losses. it is 6:06 right now. time to check the forecast with meteorologist christina loren. going to feel like winter a little touch today. >> yeah, looks like winter out here. good morning to you. mostly cloudy start over the city by the bay and everywhere across the bay area. your in land cities waking up

backup forming in the cash lanes. the fast track lanes just fine. i keep refreshing because i'm waiting to see that reported. the earlier fog advisory has been canceled. watch for that to affect your drive, as well. back to the maps showing you also in the area traveling away from the bridge. reports of that tree in your second lane. a crew has yet to get there and probably blocked the lane for a period of time before they could pick up the tree and trash there, guys. back to you. here's good news if you're planning on flying out over the holidays. memorial day travelers will be able to bypass those long security lines at sfo. clear cards are back at san francisco international airports. fingerprint or eye scans in advance and paying a yearly fee. the company shut down the services at sfo back in 2009, but now says it's planning to relaunch clear lanes at every terminal starting on wednesday. clear says it will also honor

second location along the border of walnut creek and pleasant hill, but that caused a burger backlash. not because people p didn't like the food, they do. it's because some people were worried about the potential traffic impact, there were parking restrictions and other concerns laid out from the city. this location, though, brings about 50 burger associate jobs. they make about $10.50 an hour, 98 seats, it has a drive-thru and i'm told they're opening up about 10:00 this morning. reporting live in pleasant hill, christie smith, "today in the bay." more than 300 new jobs are up for grabs on the coast this morning. yes, target opening a new store coming this july. today the chain holding a job fair to hire more than 300 new employees. it's at the capitola career center at 8:00 a.m. 6:14 right now. a lesson plan that involves san francisco icon harvey milk is drawing criticism this morning. >> parents, your boys and girls are being targeted for immoral

indoctrination at school on harvey milk day. >> that's a radio ad sponsored by the group save california. urging parents to keep kids out of school on may 22nd. they say teaching students about the openly gay supervisor is wrong. but members of the harvey milk democratic club say the ads are harmful. >> pure fear-based manipulation. and it's really sad because some of those children are gay. and the message that those children are getting is that they're not worthwhile. >> california lawmakers made harvey milk's birthday a day of significance in 2009. laura, to the ball yard now. and the giants getting an early start today. the game with the cardinals starts at 12:45, matt cain pitching for the giants. wednesday night, not a great night, the giants at the plate only managed to get one run, struck out a total of 11 times,

that's a disaster. giants lose 4-1. meantime, we're sure missing brian wilson. that injury -- he's staying positive about that recovery. he's out for the season after surgery and certainly stayed out of the spotlight unless you follow him on twitter for now. but what has he been up to? here's an update from the bearded one himself. >> i kept myself busy with charting the games at home. and doing rehab every day, it's going really well. we're ahead of the schedule. not getting too crazy. but things have progressed exceptionally well so far. >> he's certainly not a little crazy there. a mellow wilson. but he says he's optimistic about his recovery, says he'll be ready by opening day next year. >> in the mean time it's the bobble head weekend for brian wilson, no, garden gnome. >> and you and marla tellez outside game on sunday. >> we'll have a clever sign to

hopefully get him near our seats, hopefully it works. good morning to you -- if it does, we'll bring that video to you monday morning. brian wilson bobble head day just one of the many events. excuse me, i take your word as final, laura. that's how much i trust you. so sorry about that. yeah, i'm going to get one of those garden gnomes and i'm going to dress it up. 52 degrees in livermore today, temperatures are on the mild side to start and winds are going to become more of a factor as we head through the second half of the day. this is what we're expecting. right now, you can see calm winds at this point, except for novato where the winds are coming out of the west. that's pushing that marine layer right over the bay area. we've got mostly cloudy conditions from the coast all the way through livermore, antioch, and some of that fog is going to creep through the delta. really strong onshore flow this morning. i wanted to point out it will become more breezy throughout the day. you see the red here, look to your key getting strong winds at about 1:00 p.m. this afternoon. as a result, that's where we're going to start to see the clouds clear. we're not going to get a whole lot of sunshine, though.

those winds will pick up between the hours of 3:00 and 5:00 and that could make for gusty conditions as you commute home over your local bridges. fog will be a factor for today. that factor for tomorrow, as well, but dealing with half as much cloud cover to start as we're contending with this morning. fog and drizzle for today, clearing and mild. that limited sunshine last until about 9:00 a.m. tomorrow and the sun will breakthrough. we're going to have to wait until 2:00 p.m. today. so may "today in the bay." 79 degrees in livermore, so comfortable through your inland cities where we will clear the quickest. nonetheless, temperatures running about eight degrees cooler for their seasonal averages today. saturday and sunday, 80s return, great beach weather come sunday. 6:18. how bad is it out there, mike? >> not so bad, but early warning for folks. this slow down on the bay bridge caused what we thought. the metering lights turned on just a couple of minutes early. the toll plaza itself shows the backup as folks are approaching the area. these cash lanes, the fast-track

lanes will fill in over the next 15 minutes. metering lights have been on for five minutes, though. so it's a slower build for a thursday. low clouds may be an issue, but so far, visibility reported okay over the water. back to the maps, we'll see there is some slowing again because of the early engineer stall that had been pushed over to the san francisco side with the metering lights on, we'll see this berkeley curve start to slow, as well. be now slowing on the maze or the approach. you do have your backup for antioch, highway 4 westbound coming into this area. bay point showing a little slowing as well as 680 down through concord and in toward walnut creek interchange. and of course, we're going to end with this map in livermore, 20-minute drive now and slowing in your typical pattern all the way through livermore, toward the dublin interchange. back to you. >> thank you very much. facebook announcing this week it's selling more shares than they first planned. some of the shares coming directly from facebook's first investors. >> good morning to you, jon. you have to wonder a bit what those regular investors should

think about this. why are the first investors getting out now? take, for instance, paypal's founder. quite famous for making an early investment in facebook. he's going to sell half his holdings. goldman sachs also selling half its holdings, as well. diversifying your portfolio, that's totally normal, but one does have to wonder if they know something that mom and pop investors don't. to be fair, some insiders aren't selling any shares at all. people often ask me, should i invest in facebook? and i don't give advice about buying or selling stock, i just try to tell you what's going on. that said, as we play up the enthusiasm of the facebook offering as an event, i do want you to keep in mind one rule. no one has ever figured out mobile. not google, not even apple. the stock market's very worried about the health of greek banks this morning over the last couple of days, the greek citizens have deposited their euros in german banks.

talking about replacing the euro with the drachma and greeks don't want drachmas. meanwhile, wall street keeping an eye on europe. the first time jobless claims just came in this morning, as well. unchanged at 370,000, that's higher than expected. really first-time jobless claims are not a huge data point, but we've been so desperate to find some kind of consistent data we kind of cling to it and, of course, facebook should price shares some time this afternoon or evening. back to you. >> we'll see what they're at. >> jerry brown happy about that ipo. money coming into the state. >> and the state needs it. whole other story there. 6:21 right now. coming up, president obama off the campaign trail. but v.p. joe biden will pick up the cause. and right now, our hot shots live over -- actually san jose. got the clouds kind of setting in there. a cool start to your day. christina loren will tell you how cool and if you need a jacket coming up.

there was a man who jumped over a rail there trying to get away from a carjacker and all of a sudden found himself falling 30 feet. bob redell on scene with all the details. what happened out there? >> well, good morning, jon. we heard from san mateo police that confirm, yes, they do have the car. as far as the location of the carjacker that's not clear. we do know the victim is in the hospital because of what unfortunate happened overnight over here. if you look down there that elevated portion, the headlights coming toward us, that's eastbound 92 just before the mariners island boulevard exit. driving by that area at night, it was fairly dark. that might be one reason this man thought he could safely hop over the edge of that highway. not realizing, though, there was this 30-foot drop. it is our understanding he had just escaped this carjacker, was running away around 1:45 this morning. the man was able to call 911. they stayed on the line with him, were able to find him by listening to the sirens approaching in the background. the area where he landed was so

inaccessible, that they had to hoist him up on a stretcher. as far as the carjacker, it's not clear where he or she is, as well. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." 6:32 right now. also new this morning, east bay police asking for help to find a serial attacker. officers say this man may be linked to a graffiti spree. if you recognize this person, call police. considering a new law targeting unruly occupy protesters. the law would make it a misdemeanor to bring homemade weapons to protest. that includes shields, fire accelerants, and pressurized paint sprayers that several protesters have used against police and private property. now, police say the law would allow them to arrest potential agitators even before these protests would start to get out of control. the city's public safety

>> $200 a month. it probably costs everybody on average $200 a month. that's a lot of money. >> reporter: so something like this were to increase that, would you consider switching? >> yeah, i'd go to at&t. >> well, here's the thing, at&t, t-mobile, and sprint do have unlimited data plans, but they are throttled plans, which means customers who have extremely high usage, they're actually punished with a slower network. so doing away with unlimited data plans could be the way of the future. now, verizon says it plans to roll out this new rule some time this summer.

away, leaped over the edge of highway 92 thinking it would be a short drop, turns out it was 30 feet to the ground. he was able to call chp, they stayed on the line with him, were able to find him by listening to the sirens approaching in the background. the area where he landed was so inaccessible, the fire department had to hoist him back on to the highway using one of those rescue stretchers for transport to the hospital. his condition is unknown. so is the whereabout of the carjacker, but we have been able to confirm they did find the car at another location. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." and another wild road story here, san jose police hoping to talk to a crash victim this morning who managed to survive seven straight days with no food and no water. investigators say more than a week ago michael sanchez jr. lost control of his ford pickup on highway 101, a witness says he saw that truck go down an embankment and then crash. but then saw sanchez actually get out of the car and walk away.
