we're live on the peninsula where investigators have not ruled out anything as to the cause of asiana flight 214. the latest from the ntsb coming up in a live report. >> news 2 breaking news where a massive fire ripped through a three-story apartment complex, bringing down the roof and sending 16 people to the hospital. today in the bay starts right now. and we're looking live at the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see some of the fog that is going to remain for parts of this morning. and what it means for the rest of your day, we'll talk about that, too. i'm chrkris sanchez along with

mieda. we want to check the forecast because we know the investigators are there at the crash scene at sfo on the runway. is weather going to be a problem for them as they look for the cause? >> at the ground level, they're fine. but for some flights, for the two runways that are still trying to manage flights around sfo and the other bay area airports, the fog is going to cause issues for arriving flights. they are in oakland. a wind pattern change in san jose is causing takeoffs from the south and landing from the north to south. that's due to the low clouds and the wind. strong sea breeze getting into fairfield, and high humidity levels into sacramento, letting you know the marine layer has punched it way in. we'll get clearing skies and then the low clouds are going to sweep back in even before sunset tonight. it's going to be a fairly cool day around the inner bay, over to oakland and san francisco,

60s and 70s. some 80s inland and then a warm-up. we'll shoi you that in a few minutes. >> hopefully the fog will burn off because the last thing sfo needs is more fog. >> breaking news to start in redwood city where a massive fire ripped through an apartment complex, bringing down part of the roof and sending 16 to the hospital. injuries ranged from minor cuts and bruises smoke inhalation. residents started calling 911 just before 2:00 this mornish, reporting fire on the second floor of the hallmark home house apartments. there was also heavy smoke in the third floor of the 72-unit complex. they called in a six-alarm response which meant 20 engines and ladder trucks were on the scene. and now to our developing story from san francisco international airport this morning, while you were sleeping, a team from the national transportation safety board arrived at sfo overnight

to begin a forming investigation into yesterday's deadly crash of asiana air flight 214. this is the first picture from the team from the ntsb. you can see the burned out wreckage in the brackground. right now, asiana air flight officials are headed to sfo to mead with investigators today. we have learned that the black boxes from the flight have been found in the wreckage and now in transit under guard to washington, d.c. for analysis. b bob joins us where he just spoke with deborah hersman, tell us what she has to say this morning, bob. >> good morning, the chairman of the ntsb tells us the cockpit voice and data recorders were not damaged, they're in good enough condition that they should provide helpful information as to what caused the crash of asiana flight 214. those black boxes were sent back to washington, d.c. on a red-eye

last night for analysis that should be taking place later today or tomorrow, within the next 24 hours, we're told. the ntsb investigators, as you mentioned, did get a chance to visit the crash site briefly last night. federal law enforcement has spoken with the pilots, they do not believe anything criminal took place. the ntsb will still have a chance to interview them to help figure out what caused their plane to crash. the president of asiana airlines tells nbc news that engine failure was most likely not what caused this boeing 777 to slam into the edge of the runway yesterday afternoon and catch fire. of the 307 passengers on board and the crew, at least two teenagers from china were killed. 49 other people seriously injured. from the ntsb's point of view, they're just starting their investigation and have not ruled out everything as a possible cause. >> everything is still on the

table. we want to mag sure we develop the facts before we develop any conclusions. >> we spoke to a passenger on the plane who has flown on this airline numerous times and believed it was coming in too low. what's the conclusion this was pilot error? >> for sure, everybody wants to know what happens, to go right away, but for us, it's more important for us to get it right. we want to draw facts from the factual information. the interviews are very helpful to us, but we also want to take a look at the radar data to show where the aircraft was, what the altitude was, look at the flight data recorder information to corroborate that with what we're seeing and hearing so when we put that picture together of that accident sequence, we're very clear on what happened. >> the ntsb chair did confirm with us there has been a notice to pilots that the glide scope has been out of service on the runway since june 1st. that's one piece of technology

that helps pilots maintain the proper angle for final dissent, but it's not the only technology. the chairman of the ntsb pointed out regardless of the pilot's nationality, english is the international language of aviation and they should have been able to understand that regarding the down glide scope. >> thank you very much, bob. we'll check in with bob at sfo near sfo throughout the morning. the passengers and crew most seriously injured in the asiana airlines crash were rushed to san francisco general hospital. it's the city's only level 1 trauma for and it received 53 patients. this morning, six people remain in critical condition, including a child. a spokeswoman for the hospital said in total, 27 adults and 26 children were treated. so far, only seven have been discharged. benjamin leavy was one of the patients taken to sf general.

he's a 39-year-old who happened to be sitting in an exit row when the plane crashed on the tarmac and amazingly, he ozable to walk away from the burning plane. he said he can't believe more people weren't killed. >> trying not to scream, push each other. people were so confused and traumatized. you know, no code from the captain, press for emergency landing or engine failure. nothing. >> hospital officials say the patients injuries ranged from burns and broken bone to head and spinal cord injuries. this morning, still conflicting information about the two victims killed in the plane crash. the san mateo county coroner said one victim was just 16 years old but that the other was an adult. at a news conference, the press of asiana airlines reportedly told the media one of the dead was born in 1996, the other born in 1997. do the math, that means both of them are teenagers.

that information coming from an nbc news translator who listened to today's briefing. what we know is both victims are female and were traveling on chinese passports. the coroner said both victims were wearing street cloets so it appears they were not working for the airline. one body was found near the tail of the plane, the second body was found near the fuselage, just before the inflatable chute near the wing. the coroner said he will perform taemss on both victims later today to determine the exact cause of death. there are indications that the girl was traveling with at least one other person, but officials have nauot been able to track tt person down alt this point. there was a group of teenage exchange students on the plane, but no word on whether she was part of the group. investigators are now working with the chinese consulate to contact the family as well. and our coverage of the asiana airlines crash continues. still ahead, we'll hear from

some of the people who witnessed that horrifying crash from the ground.

as our asiana airlines cr h crashed at sfo, many people on the ground watched it happen and stood helpless as the giant plume of smoke began to spread, wondering what was happening. we talked with some of the witnesses on the ground. >> i heard kind of a boom, a thunderous boom, and i paused for a second and turned around and looked out the window and that's when i saw the plane tumbling. >> within seconds of the crash, brian piper grabbed his cell phone and took this dramatic video from his room at the marriott hotel near bay front park. he says almost immediately after the crash, he watched as passengers came off the plane down emergency chutes. >> maybe two minutes, i started to see some people trickle out, and everyone was walking. no one was running. i was kind of shocked about that. >> many people took photos and videos of the crash. and shared similar accounts with

us of what happened. >> i saw it before the fire started to consume everything. and i saw the chutes come out of one side of the plane, people getting off. and there was a line of people getting off the other side of the plane, and then after that, it was just, you know, engulfed in flames for a while. >> several witnesses told us it appeared the plane almost missed the runway and when the nose of the plane went up, the tail of the plane hit the ground, causing the plain to spin and break apart. >> there were a couple gentlemen walking along and said do you see what happen to the plane? he said, yeah, it looked like it was going to hit, spun into a cart wheel and spun right there. that was it, we saw the smoke coming up. >> also among those gathered at the park were those waiting for loved ones in other flights that were diverted from sfo to other cities. >> i feel horrible for the people on the plane and the 777s

hold so henne people. and just relieved that, you know, my mom's a couple hours away, but she's safe. >> monte francis, today in the bay. >> our coverage of the crash continues right after the break.

good morning to you. once again, looking live from our camera in san rafael. you see blue skies but there is fog around the bay area. low clouds. we'll check with rob and that forecast in about four minutes. 305 passengers and crew members survived that asiana airlines crash, and some of them are now sharing their remarkable stories of survival. one of them is a 16-year-old boy who talked with the media shortly after the crash, telling us what happens when the tail broke off the plane. >> the plane went up and down and then it flipped or something like that, i'm not sure, and then it hit the ground, and then, yeah.

so -- >> and what happened, were people injured? what happened next? >> the top just totally collapsed on a lot of people, so a lot of people were injured, yeah. >> where were you sitting? >> i was sitting next to like a big hole. >> the boy said he was sitting next to the big hole in the plane. and then authorities whisked him off to the emergency meeting area for the passengers. immediately after flight 214 crashed onto the runway at sfo, all other traffic was stopped and two runways remain closed this morning. if you're traveler with a ticket out of sfo, you need to check your flight status. arriving flights are expected to be delayed for four hours. perhaps more. a lot of travelers are finding getting any information is very difficult, even this morning. overnight, we tried to get on the website, but an alert says the website is unavailable due to the high volume of traffic.

the site encourages users to call the airlines directly. it also directs people to the twitter handle #flysfo. and more than 230 flights were canceled at sfo last night, and many of the passengers spent the night after the airport, hoping their patience would pay off this morning with another flight out. >> they said they weren't going to get any jumbo flights out until monday. >> wewe were on the runway when the crash happened and we stayed there for about an hour and were towed back to the gate and disembarked off the runway and waited until it was canceled. >> we did just take a look at the flysfo twitter page. restaurants have stayed open all night long to accommodate some of the passengers who spent the night there. >> san jose international airport helped with a crush of flights that were diverted to the south bay after the crash. 27 flights scheduled to land in san francisco landed in san jose

instead. and many commuters told us they didn't know why until they landed. >> the pilot was circling and circling and finally he told us we can't land here, they're not allowing us. >> we're just told we were going to san jose. >> our flight was canceled and many of the other flights were canceled so now we're in san jose trying to find another flight. >> ultimately, most passengers were bussed to sfo soon after deplaning. 11 flights were diverted to oakland, and handful to sacramento and lax in los angeles. now rob has a look at a weekend forecast that could mean more trouble for travelers, especially if they're departing from the two runways at sfo. >> we have been watching low clouds spill across the bay this morning, the winds have picked up especially from overnight. you can see 56 degrees in san francisco right now. 55 in san jose. 60 in oakland. low clouds spread across the bay and the wind direction strongly on shore into fairfield,

southwest wind at 21 miles per hour, and it's a southeast wind at 10 if you're living north of the airport in san jose or north of downtown, hearing the flights taking off to the south this morning, flying into the head wind out of the southeast at 10 at san jose airport this morning. there you see the humidity. the areas engreen, relative humidity. now spill lg the way inland to stockton and sacramento this morning. so we have areas of low clouds for the morning. for the afternoon, we're goat to get sunshine, except on the coast. plan on the clouds sticking around the beaches. mild temperatures inland, mostly 60s and 70s. some 80s inland, and the clouds are going to fill in perhaps before sunset, and then for monday and tuesday, a brief warm-up, low 90s, not the 100s like we saw last week. on the satellite radar view, what is interesting to point out if you're headed to the southern sierra or central sierra, there's chance of isolated

thunder, misty skies perhaps the only precipitation we'll see, and notice by 5:00, the low clouds spilling back in across the san burno gap into the bay, east bay starting to fill in as early as 10:00 tonight. a sign we'll be seeing more low clouds for your commute as well. 50s and 60s from san francisco to oakland, lower 80s around the santa clara valley over to the east bay, and in the three-day forecast, a subtle brief warm-up for our inland valleys. low 90s into monday and tuesday and then the sea breeze is going to turn stronger which will lead to a cooldown in temperatures wednesday and thursday. the pattern we have now will repeat itself in the middle of the week. no sign of the triple digits numbers we had last week. >> seems like perhaps the fog is going to be a problem. we just checked in with sfo and they're reporting that their delays are nine hours for arriving flights and that's just the average. that means it could be much longer and much later than that when your folks are arriving, if

they're coming into town. also, we know that sfo is going to have a press briefing and that's coming up in just about 10 minutes. we is a crew there as well. as we have reported in this news cast, ntsb investigators are on seen as sfo trying to figure out the flight data recorders have been recovered. they're on their way to washington, d.c. for analysis. the plane which was traveled from seoul, south korea, crash landed on the runway at 11:27 yesterday morning, killing two people and injuring more than 130 other people. nbc bay area reporting steve stock covered the bay area for 30 years and he shows us a timeline of how it happened. >> last year, san francisco international airport saw 317,000 takeoffs and landings of commercial airplanes. more than 870 operations a day. all without a fatality. in fact, there has not been a

fatal accident at sfo in the past 75 years. that is until asiana airlines flight 214 originated from shanghai, china, with a layover in seoul, south korea. the plane took off from korea at 4:35 p.m. local time. after traveling for more than ten hours and more than 5600 miles, it failed to reach its destination safely here at sfo. according to witnesses in the airplane and on the ground, the boeing 777 came in on final approach a bit high. according to flight tracker.com, this line shows the normal approach for commercial aircraft landing at sfo from the south. it shows a gradual dissent from about 3,000 feet over san francisco bay and a dpliglide t touchdown on the pavement of the runway. this, however, is the flight of 214. a bit higher approach, and steeper dissent.

the pilot then appears to have reduced power and the plane came in too low. witnesses say the pilot struggled to gain more altitude, he boosted the plane's power and raised its nose to get more lift to make it to solid ground. but as he did so, apparently, the plane's tail hit the end of the rock wall separating the extended runway from san francisco bay. that impact broke the tail away from the body of the plane, causing the pilot to lose all control, and sending the 777 spinning down the runway. coming to rest to the left side of the pavement. >> and again, that was our investigative reporter reporting. still ahead on today in the bay, is it a race if there's only one team competing? coming up, some of this weekend's america's cup competition.

proposed rule changes. the changes were made after the death of sailor andrew simpson. the team is waiting for the cup's international jury to hear its complaint. still ahead on today in the bay, continuing coverage of the asiana airlines crash at sfo. we have a crew on scene waiting for a press conference coming from fraught the ntsb investigators, however, from sfo itself. sfo, we know, is suffering from two runways still shut down this morning, and now the fog has rolled in and making things much more difficult. the latest from them coming up in about three minutes.

good morning to you. looking live at some of the clouds and the fog that is rolling in, even into the south bay this morning. changing air traffic patterns in san jose. thanks for joining us.

i'm kris sanchez, along with rob, who is saying the wind is forcing the planes to kind of land in a different direction. >> at least in san jose where the winds come out of the east, the flights on the north side of the airport flying from north-south this morning. no delays reported. in oakland, 60 degrees. 56 in san francisco. wind speeds are fairly strong into fairfield, a good strong delta breeze, as we call it. reaching sacramento this morning, and you'll notice the areas of low clouds are going to continue as we go through about lunch time for the coast and by evening, they spill back in across the bay as we head towards 9:00, and the temperatures, sea breeze, san francisco to oakland, 60s to 70s for the most part. some 80s inland as we get to san jose, napa, and now towards livermore, but tomorrow, could see 90s coming back in the forecast. we'll talk more about that comingp in a few minutes. >> thank you very much, rob. now to our developing story this morning. the asiana airlines 214 flight

that crashed at sfo yesterday. this morning, right now, we're waiting for a press conference that's supposed to start right about now. that's for the staff of san francisco international to update travelers and the media about what is happening now. we also can tell you that ntsb officials arrived on scene and began their investigation overnight, but that is going to be a long, painstaking process. looking live at the picture of the airplane that is sitting there, still on the runway, one of two runways that is still shut down this morning. the flight box, the data recorder, and also the voice box from the cockpit have been recovered and the ntsb chairman told us this morning they're en route tohñ washington, d.c. to lab for analysis. they're traveling with federal guards as well. we want to show you what happened as asiana airlines flight 214 came in for that landing at sfo yesterday. the bying 7 sav7 was cleared to land before 11:30 yesterday

morning and passengers tell us as the plane touched down, the tail ripped off the back of the plane. a fire started. soon after, the plane came to a stop just to the left of the n runway and passengers scrambled to escape. and now, as national transportation safety board investigators address why the plane crashed, we're learning more about who the two victims are, but still this morning, there is conflicting information from the san mateo county coroner. he said one victim was just 16 years old. the other is an adult. but at a news conference this morning, the president of asiana airlines reportedly told the media one of the dead was born in 1996, the other in 1997, making both of those victims teenagers. that information coming from an nbc news translator who listened to the briefing. what we do know is both are female and were traveling on chinese passports. the coroner said both of the victims were wearing street clothing, so it appears they were not crew members. one body was found at the tail

of the end near the end of the runway, the other by the fuselage just before the inflatable chute before the wing. the coroner said he will be doing autopsies on both of the victims today to determine the exact cause of death. there are indications the girl was traveling with at least one other person, but officials have not been able to track that person down at this point, and we also know there was a group of teenage exchange students on the plane, but no word on whether she was part of the group. investigators are working with the chinese consulate to contact the family as well. as we mentioned, there is a team of investigators on the ground this morning. bob spoke with the chairman of the ntsb this morning and said there are a lot of factors to consider before anything can be decided as to a cause. bob joins us via phone because we're also happening at sfo. >> good morning, we're here at the museum located in the terminal at sfo where the

airport itself will be holding a news conference to start at any moment. we suspect they'll update us on the status of the runways and the comings and goings of airlines as the one runway, the two runways, the one next to it, are still shut down because of the crash of asiana flight 214. yes, we did spoke with the ntsb chairman this morning, who tells us that everything, quote, is still on the table as far as the cause. they have not ruled anything out. that's with regards to equipment failure, pilot error, any other factor that could come into it. nag has been ruled out. they did recover the voice cockpit and data recorders last night. they were not damaged, in good enough condition that they believe they will get useful information from the black boxes. the black boxes already rushed to washington, d.c., sent on a red-eye last night. the idea in the next your hours, possibly as late as tomorrow,

investigators will start to listen to recorders, analyze the data, and hopefully get closer to figure out what caused the airplane to slam into the edge of the runway yesterday morning, killing at least two people. so far, sending another 49 people, at least 49 people seriously injured. we'll have the news conference back up for you as soon as it starts. we're waiting for them to start at sfo. meantime, reporting live. >> thank you very much, bob. among the people who were hurt in yesterday's crash, the most seriously injured were rushed to san francisco general hospital. it's the city's only level one trauma center. it received 53 patients and this morning, sic people remain in critical condition, including a child. a spokeswoman for the hospital said in total, 27 adults and 26 children were treated. so far, only seven people have been discharged. one of them, benjamin leavy, was a patient that was taken to sf general. the 39-year-old happened to be sitting in an exit row when the

plane crashed into the tarmac and amazingly, he was able to walk away from the crash site. he says he can't believe there weren't more people who were killed. >> screaming not to push each other. signaling to get out of there. a lot of people looked confused and traumatized, and some didn't speak english. no code from the captain, brace for emergency landing or engine failure or anything, nothing. >> hospital officials say the patients' injuries ranged from burns and broken bones to more serious head and spinal cord injuries. three people also remain in critical condition at stanford medical center. in all, 45 people were treated there, but the question there this morning is how many of them are children? today in the bay's sam brock has the latest from palo alto. >> concerned look from a team of stanford doctor who evaluated some 45 patients from the plane crash at sfo. about a 30 have been admitted to the hospital. some with serious wounds. >> right now, there are probably

the asiana airline flight is the worst airline flight in the history of san francisco, going back 75 years. >> many of you have likely heard about the plane crash through social media, and one is getting a lot of attention. it's from facebook's coo, sheryl sandberg herself, taking a minute to be thankful and explain what happened. she said my family, colleagues, debbie frost, charleston golson, kelly hoffman and i were originalary going to take the flight that crash landed. we switched to united so we could use miles from our family tickets. our flight was scheduled to come in at the same time, but we were early and landed about 20 minutes before the crash. our friend david was on the flight. he's fine. thank you to everyone who is reaching out and sorry if we worried anyone. again, that was sheryl sandbergt the chief operating officer for facebook. >> still ahead on today in the bay, we'll have the latest on

yesterday's deadly crash at sfo coming up in a live report.

our reporter bob redell is still waiting for sfo to update the scheduled presser this morning for 7:30 this morning to update the situation there at san francisco international airport. we can tell you, though, that the faa is reporting nine-hour delays on average for arriving flights there. we're also watching for a 9:00 press conference with the ntsb, the chairman spoke with bob this morning and updated us then, but we're also hoping to hear more and learn more at 9:00 this morning. beyond the federal investigation, there will also be legal ramifications to this crash. we spoke with a leading passenger lawyer based in burlingame who said his office has already been contacted by passengers wanting to know if he's available. he says piecing together what happened is a painstaking process. >> we do parallel proceedings and by parallel proceedings, we take a look at witness accounts of what happened, cult with our own experts that we dealt with

before in a variety of areas, and we want to follow along with the ntsb, find out what they know, and then go further. >> the ntsb is already on the ground at sfo. this is the first picture they sent out of the team investigator there at the scene. they arrived just before midnight. the less fatal crash in the u.s. was a continental express flight in 2009. you might remember the flight crashed into a house near buffalo, new york, on february 12th, 2009. that crash killed all 49 people onboard, and one man who was in a house there. on november 12th, 2001, american airlines flight 587 crashed into a queens neighborhood in new york city when the airbus a-300's tail snapped just after takeoff. all passengers and crew on board were killed as well as five people on ground, and alaska airlines flight 261 crashed on

january 31st, 2000, into the pacific ocean, off point lugu. it had problems with the horizontal stabilizer. all 83 passengers and 5 crew members were killed. and a bit of background information on asiana airlines, now, it was founded in february of 1998. it's one of south korea's two major airlines along with korean air. asiana has headquarters in seoul. it operates 14 domestic and 90 international passenger routes throughout asia, europe, and a number of gateway cities in north america as well. by the end of the year, asiana plans to increase its transpacific passenger routes from 44 to 49 operations per week. the asiana airlines plaep that crashed was a boeing 777. the twin-engine aircraft is one of the most popular long distance planes used for flights of 12 hours or more from one continent to other, and typically for long flights over water. the 777 can carry up to 300

passengers but can change based on its configuration. boeing issued this statement on its website. boeing extends its deepest condolences to the family and friends of those who perished in the asiana airlines flight 214 accident in san francisco as well as its wishes for the recovery of those injured, boeing will join the u.s. national transportation safety board at their request to provide technical assistance to their investigation. and governor jerry brown released a short statement in response to the crash as well. it was just two sentences long. anne and i extend our deepest concerns and sympathy to the passengers who were aboard asiana flight 214 and to their families. we're grateful for the courage and swift response of the first responders whose actions surely prevented an even greater tragedy. we're standing by for the press conference coming out of san francisco international airport this morning.

there are nine-hour delayyu on average for arriving flights. two of the runways remain shut down this morning. of course, the asiana airlines flight 214 still there on the runway as ntsb investigators start to sift through what they can find there. the voice cockpit recorder and the cockpit voice recorder and the data transmitter already en route to washington, d.c. we'll be right back.

good morning. here's a view from san jose where you can see the low clouds spilled into the south bay this morning, starting to break up, giving way to mostly sunny skies as we approach runch time, and temperatures mostly in the 50 in the bay keeping mostly everyone in the same temperature range, except oakland, closer to 60 degrees. winds stronger onshore, which will insure the inland valley stays cool. you can see the relative

humidity fairly high, thanks to the marine layer which is about 2,000 feet, which has no trouble bringing the cooler effect into the inland valleys. mostly mild temperatures, clouds clearing back to the coastline and coming back inland before sundown tonight, so the clouds are going to come back in by the evening and for monday and tuesday, inland temperatures jumping into the 90s and cooling for the middle part of the week. satellite view shows you if you're going to head to yosemite or to lake tahoe, you're seeing lake moisture coming up. deserts of california could see thunder in the southern sierra. for the bay area, low clouds peeling back away from the coast briefly early afternoon and swooping back into the evening, getting into oakland and free mont and likely tomorrow morning, misty skies with some of the low cloud cover and fog. highs in the 60s around san francisco, up and down the coast, even around santa cruz.

low 80s closer to san jose, 70s to 80s inland. some of the warmest spots should be antioch, over toward livermore and trenton. trivalley locations and areas south of san jose have a chance of getting into low 90s monday into tuesday and then as it starts to turn stronger, you'll notice your wednesday forecast as it looks like we're looking up to this morning with low clouds going inland, inland temperatures cooling off for the middle of the week, and possibly next sunday, monsoon moisture which is right now over yosemite. something to watch. >> thank you very much, rob. we want to update on the breaking news right now in redwood city where the massive fire ripped through an apartment complex over night. part of the roof collapses and 18 people were sent to the hospital, now we're learning including two firefighters. injuries ranged from minor cuts and bruises smoke inhalation.

residents called 911 just before 2:00 this morning to report a fire on the second floor of the hallmark house apartments. there walls also heavy smoke on the third floor of the 72-unit complex. firefighters called in 20 engines and 7 ladder trucks on the scene fighting the blaze. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. and we return to aerodeveloping story from sfo this morning, a team from the national transportation safety board arrived in san francisco overnight to begin the formal investigation into yesterday's deadly crash of asiana airlines flight 214. this is the first picture from the team. you can see the burned out wreckage there in the background. right now, officials from the airline are headed to the -- headed to sfo to meet with investigators as well. we have also learned that the black boxes from the flight have been found in the wreckage and are now headed to washington, d.c. for examination. today in the bay's bob redell

joins us live from sfo this morning where there was to be a press conference at 7:30. we're waiting for it. what can you tell us, bob? >> good morning, we're not sure if the press conference at sfo is going to happen or not. as you mentioned, it was supposed to start about 20 minutes ago. we did speak one-on-one with the chairman of the ntsb about an hour and a half ago. she mentioned they did recover the cockpit voice and data recorders, that they were in good condition, that they weren't damaged which means they might be able to get useful information from the black boxes to help them figure out what went wrong with asiana flight 214. those black boxes were sent back to washington, d.c. on a red-eye last night for analysis that's expected to take place later today on tomorrow, within the next 24 hours, we're told. investigators did get a chance to visit the crash site briefly last night. today will be the first time they get to view the site with full daylight.

federal law enforcement has spoken to the pilots. they don't believe anything criminal has happened. the ntsb has yet to speak to them. the president of asiana airlines tells nbc news that engine failure was not likely what caused the boeing 777 to crash into the end of the runway and catch fire. 49 other people were seriously injured, two killed. the ntsb is just starting their investigation and have not ruled out anything as a possible cause. >> everything is still on the table. we want to make sure we develop the facts before we reach any conclusions and we just started that process. >> we spoke to a passenger on the plane who has flown into this airport numerous times, believed the pilot was coming in too low. what's the danger of jumping to the conclusion maybe this was a pilot error? >> i think for sure everybody wants to know what happened. they want to know right away, but for us, it's more important to get it right, so we want to

gather all the facts and draw doneclusions from the factual information. we want to corroborate information. the interviews are very helpful to us, but we also want to take a look at the radar data to see where the aircraft was, what the altitude was, look at the flight data recorder information to corroborate that with what we're seeing and hearing so that when we put that picture together of that accident sequence, we're very clear on what happened. >> yep. the chairman of the ntsb also did confirm there has been a notice of pilots that the glide scope has been out of service on the runway since june 1st. it's one piece of technology that helps pilots on final dissent. they also have other information that will help them. bob redell, today in the bay. >> stay with us all day long for the updates from the sfo press conference, also the ntsb, which

is going to speak, we expect, at 9:00 this morning. nbcbayarea.com is also your source for information. see you soon. crystal geyser is always bottled at the mountain source. crystal geyser.
