horrible accident a chance to revisit the crash site. one passenger, ben levy tells us it was emotional, some people crying while others remained silent. the reason for his return, to try to become closer with his fellow survivors. the only people, he says, on the planet who can understand what he experienced when that plane crashed into the runway saturday morning. >> i think we're all connected through the event for life. we'll never forget it. to getting to know a little bit the people on the plane with me i think helps me perhaps deal a little bit better. >> reporter: the ntsb says the pilot told the investigators a bright light temporarily blinded him during final approach. this happening about 34 seconds from impact. this is around the same time

that he realized the plane was flying too low and too slow. the ntsb doesn't know what tlit was, whether it might have been someone slowing a laser at the cockpit. after the plane crashed, the cockpit crew waited 90 seconds before waiting an evacuation of the aircraft. they actually told passengers to remain in their seats as they communicated with the control tower. they didn't initiate the evacuation until a flight attendant informed them that the plane was on fire. reporting live in south san francisco, bob redell, "today in the bay." we're hearing for the very first time from the flight crew on board asiana flight 214. six of those flight attendants still remain hospitalized. six others did hold a news conference at sfo. the cabin manager spoke through an interpreter. they say she was the first to speak to them after the crash and she was also the last to leave that wreckage. she even managed to carry one

man off of the plane to safety. >> translator: i hope for all the families who suffered losses from this accident to recover as quickly as possible, and they are all in my prayers. >> some of those crew members definitely heroes out there. ntsb investigators say the flight attendants were crucial in just getting everybody safely off the plane. once on the runway, it was just chaos. 911 tapes released late last night giving us new insight into just how long it took for help to arrive and just how scared everybody truly was. "today in the bay's" marla tellez live in burlingame right now. she has the 911 tapes. i'm sure it's very dramatic to listen to. >> reporter: it is, jon. good morning to you. listening to the tapes it is amazing to hear some passengers actually remained calm during the 911 calls. others very frantic, understandably so. the common theme we're hearing is that help was not arriving

fast enough. listen to this woman just trying to keep a fellow passenger alive. >> yes, we just got in a plane crash and there are a bunch of people who still need help. there are not enough medics out here. there is a woman out here on the street, on the runway, who is pretty much burned very severely on the head and we don't know what to do. >> we do have help started that way. you said they're there but not enough people, correct? >> yes. she is severely burned, she will probably die soon if we don't get help. >> reporter: now, we cannot tell you the outcome of this particular situation, but we can tell you some survivors telling us that they waited in their estimation about 40 minutes for emergency medical attention. one issue that medics may have had to deal with was the traffic outside sfo. this video right here shot by one of our producers who just happened to be near the scene at the time of the crash. it shows traffic at a crawl

along 101 outside the airport. again, this is potentially what kept paramedics from arriving to the scene in a fashionable manner, timely manner i should say. new photos into the newsroom from survivors ben levy. you remember him, the 39-year-old san francisco man who literally walked away unhurt from this crash. he's one of the 123 people who did walk away unhurt. you can see passengers idly standing by, some with their luggage as they watched the plane in the background burn. also a look at one of the triage areas, passengers getting treated by emergency personnel. there's at least ten-plus minutes to sift through on the 911 calls. i've been listening to them this morning. coming up in my next report, you'll hear from a caller who clearly is frustrated with the dispatcher on the other end of the line. live from burlingame, marla tellez, "today in the bay." >> amazing to listen to. thank you very much. tonight there will be a special

family's home searching it, talking with neighbors. an amber alert was issued. they're trying to verify what they're being told. >> in hopes that someone will be able to provide a timeline and say i saw them together on this date or this location at this time. >> reporter: now, police also searched the martin luther king regional shoreline near the airport. they were searching every place that the father and daughter visited recently. we swung by there this morning and there is still crime scene tape up. daphne was wearing an orange two-piece pajama suit. police say it's possible that the little girl was taken by either a black or hispanic woman 30 to 40 years old with the distinct feature that she has very long black hair. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay." it is 5:07 right now. the giants' chad go dan will not be able to pitch his way out of this jam. he's been charged with lewdness

airways. crews spent the night trying to clear parts of the airline off the runway. we have live team coverage including more from those 911 calls.

new this morning, crews spend the night clearing crash debris at san francisco international airport's runway 28l. in this new video you can see a crane moving that wreckage, but there's still a lot of work to do before the runway can officially be reopened. good morning to you. 5:29. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm jon kelley. good morning. that teardown of asiana flight 214 coming as investigators are revealing details about the pilot. today in the bay's bob redell has that new information from the ntsb chairman. >> reporter: good morning, jon and laura. we heard from ntsb chair debra hersman.

first with regard to the wreckage, the ntsb did release the runway back to the airport last night so salvage operations can begin. some pieces of the airplane have and will continue to be sent back to washington, d.c. these are probably crucial pieces that are pert meant to the investigation. but majority of the aircraft, the fuselage will stay here in the bay area. lit be removed in sections. 777s are too large to be moved in one piece. it will be taken to a location yet to be announced. when will runway 28l be reopened? that will be a question for the airport itself. they have to remove the debris and resurface some of the runway damaged during saturday morning's crash. the ntsb says the pilot, as we've been reporting this morning, did tell investigate is that a bright light temporarily blinded him during final approach, about 34 seconds out from impact. it was around the same time he realized the plane was flying too low and too slow for a safe landing. the ntsb chairman said they went

back to that pilot and confirmed it was not a laser, it was something else. whatever it was, the temporary blindness that he was blinded and then able to look down at his instruments and see them clearly. after the plane crashed, the cockpit crew waited 90 seconds before ordering an evacuation. they actually told passengers to remain in their seats as they communicated with the control tower.n't initiate the evacuation until they had a conversation with the flight attendant. >> they told the flight attendant not to initiate an evacuation. they were communicating with the tower about the emergency. the lead or the cabin manager made an announcement over the pa for people to stay in their sea seats. >> reporter: they inash ated the evacuation after a flight

attendant came to the cabin and said the plane was on fire. yesterday survivors of asiana flight 214 were allowed a visit back to the crash site before that mek kaj is removed. buses ferried the passengers and their families to the site yesterday afternoon. one of the survivors, ben levy tells us it was emotional. some people cried while others remained silent. for him the reason to go back was to connect with the survivors, the only people who experienced what he experienced unfortunately saturday morning. reporting live in south san francisco, rob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. there are also patients still in the hospital following the crash. san francisco general still treating eight patients this morning, two of them children. three of those patients are in critical condition. mills-peninsula treating three patients. >> stanford says two patients remain in their hospital, one in critical condition. st. francis still treating one patient. there's also one patient remaining at st. mary's. we're also getting a clearer

picture now this morning about what it was really like for those passengers on the ground a they scrambled around after they've evacuated that plane. "today in the bay's" marla tellez live in burlingame with some of the chilling 911 tapes. really fascinating to hear. >> reporter: in my last report i mentioned one of the most unbelievable elements of these tapes is the fact that some passengers actually remained calm right after the crash landing. take a listen for yourself. >> i'm at the san francisco airport and our airplane just crashed upon landing, and i think we need help here. >> reporter: hats off to him for keeping his cool. on the other end of the spectrum there are the more frantic callers. you can understand that, no doubt about that. these callers upset that help was not arriving fast enough. you can really sense this woman's frustration. >> there's been a crash at san francisco airport.

there have people injured -- >> ma'am, we are reports of it. we're aware of the situation. >> there are no ambulances here. we've on the ground 20 minutes. critical injuries. hello? >> yes. i'm still here. >> were you on the plane, ma'am? >> yes, i was on the plane. we've been on the ground 20 minutes, a half hour. there are people laying on the tarmac with critical injuries. we're almost losing one here. we're trying to keep her alive. >> reporter: can't even imagine. that woman reporting she was still waiting for help at 20 to 30 minutes post crash landing. we heard from other passengers who say they waited 40 minutes to get medical attention. one of the issues that may have been the problem was traffic outside sfo. one of our producers, caitlin, shot this video outside the airport on saturday. traffic literally at a crawl along 101.

did that prevent emergency crews from arriving fast enough? that is definitely something we are looking into this morning. now, out of the 307 people on board flight 2 14rks you can imagine several calls were placed to 911. we are sifting through the 911 tapes this morning and will have more clips coming up at 6:00. live from burlingame, marla tellez torques day in the bay. >> thank you. stay with "today in the bay" all morning long for continuing coverage of the asiana aircraft and logon to nbcbayarea.com to hear more of those 911 tapes. >> so intriguing as that all continues to roll out. lit be interesting to watch and listen. 5:35 right now. christina loren is back to talk about what we have to look at heading closer to the weekend. >> looking really, really good. good morning to you. 62 degrees down in sunnyvale. so close to the weekend, you're almost there now. it's looking really, really good. we'll take you to some of the destinations across northern

california that you might want to take your family to this weekend because it's going to be nice. once we get rid of this humidity and the thunderstorms that we're tracking this morning on the western-facing slopes. surrounding san jose, kind of sticky out there. this is what we're expecting. fog and drizzle to start. we are expecting the flight delays out of sfo. just every day this week they've been at 2 1/2 hours off the bat. by thursday afternoon, comfortable. temperatures dropping by three to five degrees. we'll keep the thunderstorms in until about noon. as we get into the all-important weekend, looking really good. i'll take you to that forecast next, your seven-day, in my next report. 78 degrees right here in san jose and 63 in san francisco. subtle changes coming up for the weekend. as promised, here is our own mirk inway. some fog out there. >> yes, so be careful. some not-so-subtle backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. we had early backup, a couple of the lanes overnight were closed

as far as the cash lanes go. still closed right now. you see those are the lanes off the hov los angeles at the bottom of your screen. fast track moves smoothly. the cash lane is backed up to mid parking lot and the lanes off to the left as you approach back toward the 880 over crossing. we're looking over toward the camera. the upper deck moves smoothly. the metering lights are not yet on. we're getting a good flow of traffic. we see the backup at the toll plaza. we'll get a look at the maps as well. this volume not so bad out of the tri-valley and toward the east bay. in the tri-valley itself we see a volume increase coming out of the altamonte pass and through livermore for highway 84, closer to the dublin interchange. a look at the south bay, a live look shows 101 northbound picking up the volume over the last couple minutes as well.

this is the start of the first burst we see in the morning. we'll see a second burst in about 40 minutes. i'll show you the map coming up. thank you very much. it is 5:38 right now. fbi agents and officers in oakland back out in force this morning searching for a missing toddler. the 21-month-old girl was reportedly seen sitting inside her father's car as he made a quick stop to go inside a convenience store. "today in the bay's" christie smith is with police officers right now live outside the family's oakland home. good morning, christie. >> reporter: good morning, jon. it's now been more than 17 hours since daphne webb was first reported missing. oakland police and the fbi have been searching for her at the store where she was reported missing, but also here in this neighborhood in the oakland hills. this is where her dad apparently stays. police say he is not a suspect, but there are four patrol cars this morning, police tape up around the apartment building. we have a picture of the

toddler, daphne viola webb, 21 months old. her father told police he drove to a supermarket on 78th and international in east oakland in his black ford suv yesterday morning with a relative, possibly his 87-year-old mom in the car, little daphne in the back seat. he says he ran in to get an energy drink. when he returned to the car, daphne was gone. apparently the mom couldn't help with the investigation because she has dementia. an amber alert was called and at least eight law enforcement agencies searched the neighborhood, searched the home and they're spending a lot of time trying to verify what they're being told. >> we're providing those pictures to media in hopes that someone will be able to provide a timeline and say i saw them together on this day or this location at this time. that's part of our investigation, to be able to bring factual information and a timeline to when the two of them were last seen together.

>> reporter: oakland police also searched the martin luther king regional shoreline park, an area where the father and daughter had apparently recently visited. daphne was wearing orange pajamas with little pink hearts on them and pink socks. police say it's possible the girl was taken by a woman, a black or hispanic woman about 30 to 40 years old with long black hair. not much activity out here this morning, but police certainly have not moved since we've been here and we've been here for several hours. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay." also in oakland, a baby boy is safe and back with his family this morning after he was taken during a carjacking overnight. police say the thieves approached a mother at a gas station near 42nd and foothill, climbed into her van and drove off. the woman's 1 1/2-year-old son was still in the back seat. the thiefs apparently dropped the child off under a tree a few blocks away.

>> left the jackets on top of the baby so i guess they weren't trying to kill the baby or hurt the baby. it was only for the car. >> police are still looking for the suspects and the stolen 2002 honda van. >> a parent's worst nightmare. 5:41 right now. president obama putting on the full-court press. we'll let you know what he's doing to try to get lawmakers to pass immigration reform. plus the move today that could help oakland sweeten the deal and possibly keep the a's in town.

the united states. they want to make border security a top priority. house republicans have said they will not even vote on the senate's immigration plan adding it could be months before they come up with some kind of solution. nice weather on tap for today. >> it's going to be so nice. did you get outdoors yesterday? >> yeah, a little bit. >> you can do it again today. it's 5:46 now. you're so close to the weekend. if you want to make the plans, we'll help you out. 5:46. let's take you outside and show you what you're working with. happy to report temperatures are nice and mild. you don't need the coat this morning. it's going to be kind of a nice day just about everywhere with the exception of those thunderstorms for the first part of this morning only on the western-facing slopes surrounding san jose. a lot of these little spotty cells that you're noticing, that's verga, precipitation that evaporates before it hits the ground. as we head throughout the

morning, this is an indication of how humid it is out there. you can see the showers moving from south to north. that's going to be the case as we head throughout the day today. kind of a muggy start to the day. overall we'll see a nice improvement by the second half of the day with an area of low pressure heading our way. all that monsoonal moisture will retreat to the east. warm inland, cool and foggy at the coastline. as promised, let's talk about what's happening around the bay area as we get into the all important weekend. mike, it's here. it has arrived. 65 degrees at 2:00 p.m., 69 degrees at 4:00 p.m. in santa cruz. great place to take the family. make sure you bring the spf 30 plus. i know mike inouye, he's a cam ng man. maybe not. we'll find out if he likes to camp or staycation. 60s, highs, it's going to be comfortable in tahoe. i want to warn you, poison oak

and also flea and tick season. it can't take the suspense anymore, mime. do you like to camp? >> poison oak, fleas and ticks, part of the reasons we love camping, as far as i'm concerned, anywhere called a hotel. looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, these folks are camping out. there's a heavy backup here. an early start to the backup. partially because, look at, this here are the hov lanes, your car pool lanes. these two lanes have been closed overnight as you'll see in many of those lanes overnight, up t two lanes as we have this morning. those are closed. let's look at the next camera. i've turned the emeryville camera toward the toll plaza. you see the blinking yellow lights, those are the hov lanes. here are the fast track lanes in the middle. those are both moving very smoothly. over here the cash lanes, you have half your lanes on the left side. that's why the backup formed quickly toward the 880 over crossing. these cash lanes building as well. we should see those metering lights turned on soon because of

the volume of traffic. on the map we had a crash reported in the toll plaza. we have extensive coverage in the area. there may be activity, maybe a distraction in the parking lot. an easy drive down the eastshore freeway. the volume builds through the tri-valley. the earlier crash we talked about, it's over on the shoulder. that might be enough to kickoff the distraction and slowing. folks looking to see what's going on, slow there as well as livermore. a quick look to san jose where we see 101 has the volume build. that's the only spot for slowing north of 680. over here eastbound across the san mateo bridge as you're heading down the high-rise, we have a stall. i'll track it. no slowing at the scene heading toward the newark and fremont side. back to you. you always have to watch out for cyclists. there are two recovering after collide being a car in newark last night. police say that crash happened at the intersection of newark boulevard and ruschin drive.

dispatchers say there are injuries but not clear how serious they were. police shut down the intersection for several hours. the roads finally reopened about 1:00 this morning. it's that time of year santa clara crews will be fogging for mosquitoes in areas of san jose. the santa clara county vector control district says mosquitos in zip code 95123 and 95136 both testing positive for west nile virus. so be aware of that. fogging will take place in the area roughly bordered by monterey road, blossom avenue, santa teresa and coddle road. this is all set to start tonight at 11:00 p.m. and will last for several hours. we could learn today whether oakland's bid to try and keep the a's will clear a major hurdle. for the fourth time in the last two weeks the city port commission will considering settling a lawsuit filed by one of the port's biggest terminal operators. this proposed settlement would

end operations at howard terminal, freeing up about 50 acres of waterfront land for a brand new ball park. howard terminal is seen at the city's best option right now for a brand new stadium because of its location near jack london square. one side note here. if an agreement is, in fact, reached, other terminal operators, they say that will sue that port in return. >> interesting one to watch. 5:51. google glass in action. the new video one user released this morning.
