memorial plaza enter new york where family members are reading the names of those killed in the terror attacks at the world trade center. it happened 12 years ago today. good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia cannon. we are awaiting a second moment of silence at 6:03, the time united airlines flight 175 crashed into the south tower of the world trade center. we will, of course, bring you that moment. we will bring it to you live just in a few minutes from now. first, we get to breaking news from overnight. a powerful explosion causing serious damage to libya's foreign ministry building in the heart of benghazi. that blast one year after militants stormed the u.s. consulate in that city leaving four americans dead, that includes u.s. ambassador and bay area native chris stevens.

marla tallez joins us live with more on what we've learned about this overnight blast. i just learned that the building that was hit early this morning once housed the u.s. consulate decades ago, until the late '60s. we have video that shows the extent of damage. officials say a car bomb is to blame. this bomb went off at dawn and damaged buildings next door, including the benghazi branch of the libyan central bank. so far, no reports of death despite the extensive damage. several people that happened to be walking by are said to be hurt but with just minor injuries. at this point, no one is claiming responsibility for this. as john just mentioned, it has been exactly one year since u.s. ambassador, chris stevens, along with two navy s.e.a.l.s and a computer specialist were killed. counter terrorism officials say de extremist2n groups are behind t

attack including an ansar al sa. no one is under arrest or in custody one year later. the fbi is still very much committed to finding these terrorists. we will have much more coming up in my next report at about 6:50, plus a statement from the white house. one year ago, 12 years ago since 9/11. the horrific day. we are taking you live to different memorials that are going on. this one in new york city. family members reading the names of the victims of the terror attacks that happened 12 years ago today. we are waiting a moment of silence now.

seeing the tears, the photos, the flags. a new 9/11 project is going forward after stalling over the summer. "today in the bay's" christie smith is in hayward with a look that the project and also the next step for the people behind it. >> reporter: good morning to you. it took a while to get this 9/11 memorial going. over the summer, apparently, there was a small disagreement between the designer and the city. it looks like they finally worked things out and we will have a 9/11 memorial right here behind me on this grass lot that is in downtown7agx hayward. plans for hayward's own september 11th memorial moving forward. it will be right near the old city hall. there is animation of what the project will look like on haywardmemorial911.com. a flag pole in the center with red granite benches. it will honor police, firefighters and veterans.

it was designed by a man named michael emerson, a veteran h himself, who helped construct with a flight 193 memorial in union city. he is coordinating donations and labor. he has worked on a number of apparently, according to the city attorney, there was a disagreement that centered over the plan review time and the ability to make modifications if they are needed. it is estimated this will cost $100,000, maybe more to get done. the project must be completed, the city is saying, within three years. emerson believes once the money is in place it will only take a couple of months to complete. christie smith, "today in the bay" >> very nice structure. that's going to be beautiful. >> you know what is a very nice look is live outside at koit tower. all lit up in commemoration of 9/11. take a look at that.

>> christina loren will tell us to go along with that. >> beautiful day as we remember. if you are going to be headed out, make sure you have your sunscreen ready to go. a little bit breezy out there. 60 degrees in livermore. 60 in san jose to start. expecting patchy fog and drizzle through 7:00 a.m. we stopped the clock on your futurecast again. still tracking a lot of that fog. >> that's what's going to keep us cool. 85 degrees on the way inland. bayside, 77. at the coast, 68 degrees for today. let's go ahead and check that drive. >> we have the backup that forms after the metering lights are turned on which happens at 6:02. there is the toll plaza in the lanes off to the right. we are seeing those cash lanes between the hov and the

fast-track lanes at the bottom of the screen starting that build as well. there you go. we just see speeds coming down into the area. upper 50s and 60 miles per hour where it is yellow down past the albany area and in toward the berkeley curve. coming across the san mateo and the dumbarton bridges. across 92 and 84. the south bay does build as well. north 101, north of 680 is where we typically see the build. at the bottom, reports of a crash possibly blocking one of the lanes at the tully road off ramp. it looks like at least something is visible. we see a little slowing. we are also looking toward the north bay. southbound to 101 as you are coming down. what appeared to be an earlier traffic break. nothing was on the chp report, has been sothed out over the last few minutes.

you with il fill find a little up. you have a lot of company. we will send it back to you. we want to give you a follow-up to some san jose police state university action. they arrested a man in connection with the fourth homicide in school history. they have arrested craig uehara from los gatos. they will not say what led authorities to him. on sunday morning, 47-year-old daniel winslow was found dead, slumped over inside of a jeep and that happened near spartan stadium. tomorrowct grief counselor will return to the university of san francisco to help them mourn the loss of 56-year-old andrew good win. he died in an apartment fire. the media studies professor was nicknamed the professor of pop. his body was discovered on the top floor of his apartment building in berkeley. the flames broke out after 1:30 that morning and firefighters rushed inside to rescue him but goodwin later died at a hospital. at this point, there is still no word on exactly what caused that fire.

the time is 6:08. coming up, we'll tell you about firefighters finally getting the upper hand on that fire on mt. diablo. burglars are getting their hands on some of the firefighters personal belongings. wedding rings and things like that. we will tell you how they broke into an east bay fire station while the crews were out there battling the flames on the front line of the massive wild fire. we'll take a look at apple, a day after the major announcement. plus, coming up in business. america remembers. 12 years since 9/11, as we give you a live look at the pentagon this morning. it looks like it is a warm day out there. there are memorial services going on throughout the country this morning. we'll bring them to you live. it is 6:09.

you are watching "today in the bay." welcome back. a live look over san francisco. this is the bayside of the city where you can actually still see for five miles or better. we have thick coastal drizzle starting to develop. i will let you know when that will clear and a much cooler day on tap. your seven-day forecast in moments. we are looking at 101 right here. you can see that on the sign. a smooth drive. a good build for the peninsula drive. 101 in san jose, a crash. what exactly is going on. i'm trying to sort that out. the chp, they are sorting out the details. we'll call them and get the rest of their reports and i will let you no he whknow what i can sorf your compute. explosion rocking the building in benghazi. a car bomb explodes. that attack one year to the day

since u.s. ambassador, chris stevens, was killed during a terrorist attack at the u.s. consulate in benghazi. a comment from a top vatican official signals the catholic church could change its stance on celibacy for priests. the vatican+o secretary of stat told a venezuelan newspaper that the tradition of priestly celibacy is not a law of divine origin. today marking 12 years since the september 11th terrorist attacks right here in the united states. families of those victims now gathering at the national memorial at ground zero this morning. president obama observing a moment of silence at the white house. that happened moments ago. you can see the pain and anguish of people still living that moment. >> we talked about the unification of this country during that time. this certainly forced america to carefully balance security and freedom. scott mcgrew is talking about concern over phone

surveillance that may have gone too far in the ' s after that attack. good morning. it is a sensitive subject. even are the courts say it went too far. the foreign intelligence surveillance court is supposed to key an eye on the nsa. according to new documents released by the white house under court order, the nsa went far beyond the limits that the court set, looking into telephone numbers that were not considered suspicious by the courts. most of the numbers the nsa would track did not qualify as suspicious as defined about i the courts. of the 17,000 phone numbers, the nsa said it was examining, they had clearance to examine only 1800 of them. when releasing these documents, the head of intelligence, james clapper wrote, in june of this year, president obama directed me to declassify, make public as much information as possible. that is true up to a point. the documents were actually released because of a court order to release them. the president was following the court's demands.

it was not his idea. other news this morning, apple shares are down more than 4% in pre-market trading. we talked about this yesterday. traders sell apple after a big announcement happens all the time. there, you see the colorful 5-cs. the 5-c and the colorful iphone s will be avail be on friday. on the 18th. everybody gets the new ios 7. the following friday rk, the ne phones are delivered. again, folks, you can preorder new phones this friday. ups will deliver them bright and early the first day they are available. jon and laura, there is no reason to stand in line at all. >> but people do it all the time. even wozniak is out there sometimes. >> let me repeat. there is no reason. >> unless you like laying on concrete in a sleeping bag.

>> it's fun. >> or you can click. >> the voice of reason, scott mcgrew. >> as always. in the meantime, in the east bay, some firefighter, bad news, ridiculous. they have gone from protectors to the victims. some of the first crews on scene, this actually got back to their firehouse and made a very disturbing discovery there. they figured out somebody broke in while they were out fighting the fire. >> somebody took advantage of the situation. "today in the bay's" bob riddell, live at the command post in dublin with some of the personal items stolen. >> reporter: good morning, laura and john. we just heard from cal fire. they tell us they will start transitioning to mop-up of mt. diablo, effectively saying they have this fire not fully contained but certainly, it is not in a situation where it is out of control. they will start sending firefighters home. it should not come as a surprise

since it has been ruffle oughly hours since we have seen the flames and smoke coming from mt. diablo. right now, they have 60% of the 3200 acres that were burned surrounded. they hope to have it fully surrounded by friday, this friday, the 13th. one reason why they still have firefighters up there not only to do mop-up but things you can't see. hot embers, sometimes logs are still burning inside. they want to have crews up there to make sure nothing would flare up. there is a lot of unspent fuel up there. they don't want anything to happen while that catches fire again. >> police are looking to the person that took advantage of some of the firefighters working this fire. this happened sunday night while the firefighters with the cocoa county fire protection district were on the front line. someone broke into their station, station number seven in

walnut creek. when they returned monday morning, this is after a brutal 24-hour shift in the heat and smoke. they found this person had gone through their personal lockers in their bedrooms and stole their valuables, ipads, money, watches and two wedding rings. >> are you serious? this really actually happened? somebody actually came into the fire station and stole from us after we help people. it is devastating. >> reporter: that same night, someone tried to break into station 3 on rossmoor parkway trying to break in through the window of a captain's bedroom. fortunately, he was in there and scared this guy off. firefighters say that the department was fully staffed. that station would not have been empty for 24 hours. reporting live here in dub lick, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks so much. >> the good news is, they are getting that under control. christina loren, it sounds like maybe the weather has been ep hadding out in the fight. good morning to you, laura
